*”For every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.”* Psalms 50:10-11
The book of Job shows just how important animals are to God. He knows every single one. We're charged with tending to animals, even the ones we eat are to be treated well.
@@Aurora_262 The question at hand is not about whether God cares for His creatures, including animals. Scripture acknowledges that He does. However, the issue is whether God has arranged for animals to share the same reward as faithful followers of Christ-eternal life in heaven. As 2 Peter 2:12 describes, animals are irrational and instinctive by nature, unlike humans, who are created in God’s image and capable of moral reasoning and spiritual faithfulness. Jesus emphasized this distinction in Luke 12:7, where He stated that although God cares for all His creations, His love for humans far exceeds His concern for animals: “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” If humans must meet the requirements of godly standards, principles, and morality-living in faithful obedience to the gospel-to receive the reward of eternal life, it is inconsistent to suggest that animals, which do not share this capacity, would receive such a reward by default. Take, for instance, aggressive dogs that were euthanized after attacking a young child. While they may have been loved by their owners, their actions reflect the instinctive and amoral nature of animals. Why, then, should they be granted access to the kingdom of God simply because they were cherished? This would conflict with the divine justice and moral accountability God has established for humankind.
When I was an addict and drunkard, my cats stayed away from me. Now that I have been delivered from my addictions and walk with the Lord and continue to grow closer to Him, they like to stay with me as much as possible. In the morning, when they're hungry, theyre calm when I read my Bible and join me when Im praying (they dont pray with me but as Im on the side of the bed, theyre resting quietly on top of the bed). I do believe that animals can recognize God and want to be around those that have Him in their heart.
I’ve actually heard of this with animals! Someone I listen to had a coke problem, and his cats wouldn’t go near him, or at most be a bit icy. After he got off the stuff, the cats warmed up to him. Animals know! God knows! Bless you and well done at beating your addiction. God is great.
@spoopyidk thank you! I couldn't do it without God's wonderful grace and I'm so blessed to have Him in my life now and to have my cats! Many blessings to you!
So what about the male hippos chewing the babies to death? What about the orcas "playing" with the penguins before killing them? Is there a place in heaven for this? Serious question, some animals are brutal, how does this fit together?
@@geotobi727 Your question is an interesting one. I don't think it is all black and white. Some people train dogs to be mean. So I don't think all animals are in Heaven. Mostly I think if you love a pet, you will be with that pet in the afterlife.
I lost many cats to unfortunate circumstances and I remember having a very vivid dream of them all being in heaven, they were all radiant and beautiful and I could even pet them and they felt real, I truly believe animals go to heaven especially our beloved pets.
I also had a vivid dream about one of my cats in heaven shortly after she passed away. She was leaping and playing in a beautiful green field and her coat was glowing and shiny. Now I have seven cats in heaven waiting for me. It’s such a comfort since we always outlive them. This video is spot on!
My husband too had a dream of our cat who died a couple days later and said she was in a room full of light and she was so happy , playing around and there was a glow all around her 🥹 I definitely believe my coco is in Heaven.
A lot of animals really aren't given the credit they're due just because they're not as cute or fuzzy, fish included. When I was a kid we had a tank with several fish, and one specific little tetra always came up to the surface to see me. Not simply for food like the others in the tank, but just to get gentle little pets on her head and back from my fingertip, she'd do this every time I walked by. Even insects have unique personalities: I volunteered at the Oregon Zoo during summers between high school, often working in the Insect Zoo, and we had several praying mantises. Each of them would get a cricket to eat and typically they'd eat all of it, but one particular mantis would routinely just bite off the head and throw away the rest, every single time; we called her 'Ivanka the Terrible' as a result.
@@walter1383 oh my gosh at is so cute Ivanka the terrible is amazing LOL. Its crazy how so many miss the cuteness of these little guys, they have so much personality and especially sass. Thank you for those adorable stories of the misunderstood
@@walter1383 Yeah, like, I have a pet frog (and two more that passed some time ago) and I love them all. I hope they'll be in Heaven, but at least if they aren't, I'm comforted knowing that they cannot sin, and therefore are not in Hell either. Perhaps they simply cease if they do not go to Heaven. If that is the case, I'm happy to know that they are at least not suffering.
Today our beautiful baby dog of 14 passed in my arms a few hours ago. I watched his eyes turn into glass. This video was well timed, thank you so much.
🙏💕 I been where you are...so sorry for your heartbreak...we will be with all that we loved God showed me in dreams God Bless you and always remember no matter how much you cry you hurt we will be together again .
@@SheikLogic My friend, God is waiting for you in heaven. You should look forward to meeting Him and not your pets. The joy you've felt spending time with your dogs cannot compare to the joy God Himself will give you.
@@SheikLogic That would imply God is not enough for you if you have to ask Him for some pets. I believe pets are a blessing on earth, to teach even the cruelest of humans how to love. When we grieve their loss, we feel the sorrow from losing a life because of love. And from there, we learn that life has value for other people and not just ourselves, leading to compassion.
My pastor said that no animals has soul, and that bothered me for long while. So my husband sent this video to me, and it bring comfort knowing that all of animals does have breath of life aka soul. Because at age 15, I was given a gift from God, a kitten who was glued to my hip the moment we met, and I've had her with me for 19 long years and losing her broke me to the point I was living in darkness before my husband decided to check the Church we currently go to, and gently drag me there, if it was not for Church and God, and Jesus, I will probably won't be here. Baby, my cat was my heart cat, my soulmate, and my first love, and we never spent so long separated, but when my husband and I started dating when i was 21, Baby accepted him instantly, unlike other guys she met that she'd hiss and hide til they leave. We eventually said that we knew that she was the best gift from God Himself, and I have been looking forward to be reunited with her again. This is why it bothered me so much when our Pastor said that animals does not have soul, while over here I knew they do, because of what I've grew up with, a cat who was bonded to me by spirit and unconditional love. We said good bye on May 3rd 2021, and it still hasn't been easy. I still miss her daily.
I'm not trying to ruin your mood or downplay your experience. But why would you put your happiness on animals and lift them of the same status as human to the point where you think they are your soulmates. Animals do have souls but that doesn't mean they will go to heaven, Animals while important aren't made out of God's image, so don't be too sad if you lose them. Afterall you aren't sad when you eat other animals, or when a bug died. Just because something makes you happy that doesn't make it truely important, afterall lot of things in this world make us happy such as drugs, porn. Yet that doesn't mean we can twist the bible just to fit our narrative or else you are making animals your own God. Which is disrespectful. Sorry if this sounds harsh, i just want to remind you that our happiness lies on God, if we need animals to be happy when we are in heaven, then we don't really put our trust and happiness on God. Of course i hope you can meet with meet again with your pet though.
@@None-if3mo dude what? this cat is quite obviously very precious to her and youre saying she doesnt matter? and isnt important? yes we shouldnt put animals above God but people are allowed to love their pets just as they are allowed to love other people. How about you send something more comforting like bruh what is wrong with you
They will be there, my church did not understand this concept but God created them before us and Jesus is coming back on a horse . Jesus knows we love our pets.
I lost a dog named Chai, and I was broken. I couldn't concentrate, I couldn't stop crying for hours on end... This video was very needed for me. R.I.P Chai 2023-2024 ❤
@@PrayingForTruth Please read that carefully. That was a covenant not to destroy the earth with water again thereby killing all humans and animals residing upon it. That had nothing to do with eternal life. Read it again.
@toreyhorton1789, I'm confused; I didn't say anything about eternal life, just that Genesis tells us that God the Father made His covenant with both Man and all the creatures of the earth.
@@PrayingForTruth What covenant did He make? This video is regarding the possibility of pets or animals being in heaven. Is it not? So, according to Genesis 9:8-17, what was the covenant God made with both humans and animals? That is an important detail. Genesis 9:11 - I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” That is the covenant. So, it has nothing to do with the topic of this video.
@@PrayingForTruth Not to mention you wrote in another post that these verses suggest animals go to heaven. Did you not? Why act as if I'm way off base with my retort?
When I was little I use to try to teach my pets about Jesus. I wanted them to go to Heaven with me. Sadly those animals have passed away but this video has really helped me.
I used to have two adorable dogs that i taught to sit, wait, & pray with me while i prayed over their meal, before i would set their bowls down. It was clear they understood. It was our very special moment in time each day that i cherished.
... it was precious of you to teach your pets about Jesus. You never know how much they understood, but at least you took the time to teach them and Jesus will surely cover you with blessing, and the chance to see them all in Heaven someday. 😻
THIS is so precious and beautiful. I have a Shitzu that l love dearly like a child to me all my kids have grown up and left the nest. Thank you for this comment I think I'll talk to my baby abt Jesus
@@briannab5296 When I get dogs or cats, I'll teach them to pray before mealtime. Maybe their "release" word (a.k.a. they can't eat until that word is said) will be Amen. :)
Yesterday i decided to do a deep prayer and during my prayer it felt as if a heavy weight were lifted out of me and after it felt as if i had just been carrying something. I went to tell my parents because im still a minor and when i went back into the room i prayed, tears of joy were rolling down my face.
@@Syrah69 Yet, animals were the first living creatures to physically die and God approved of it. Abel sacrificed a choice selection of animals from his flock including their fat. God disapproved of Cain's offering of fruitage from the earth. Yet, He approved of Abel's killing of animals as an offering to Him. I firmly believe animals died in the Garden of Eden. Some animals don't live longer than a few weeks like butterflies. Adam and Eve would have understood being sentenced to death by simply watching the animals that died in the garden.
My 2 pigs died while I was at church. My parents allowed some of our workers to slaughter them for meat without telling me, and when I finally found ot on Sunday morning I wanted to just loose it. I tried not to cry during the service and when we arrived home I cried hard.
@@AdhiniZulu So sorry to hear. Losing pets is terrible. And that way sounds especially horrendous. It sounds like the devil was mad you were going to church and looking for a way to discourage you. I know you will still be sad about it no matter what, but I strongly beleive Jesus has them in His care until you go home to Him and them as well. 😢❤️🔥
My cat was my “little buddy.” He was 18, and we buried him one week ago. I have been praying that God would help me sort out the truth on this matter. And here you are,one week after with an answer. Thank you for your ministry and God bless you.
@@aaron-t8l It's saying that animals also have spirits, like humans, and who knows where that spirit goes. We don't really know where the soul goes beyond 'heaven.' But it's a verse pointing out that the animals have souls, too.
@@aaron-t8l by the question mark at the end we can tell that it is not definite whether animals go to heaven, at least from this verse, but that they do have souls
@@littlezorkanimals do not have spirits read the entire thing. Solomon mentions in Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 that men and animals face the same fate -- we both die. And Solomon notes that though by faith we are certain that men go to heaven, we can't prove this while living in the physical world. "Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?" (Ecclesiastes 3:21). Though expressed in a form of a question, notice that there are two different fates for men and for animals. Animals return to the dust of the world, so do the bodies of men. But the spirits of men return to God. "Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12:7). There is no mention of animals living on beyond death in the Bible.
Very timely. My furbaby Haya, died 1 week ago due to distemper. Alam ko, nasa piling na sya ng Panginoon. No more pain and sufferings. I will miss him sooo much!
God knows how much I love my little cat. He knows that I have poured out so much love for his benefit and that he is the most important creature on Earth to me. I have faith that the Lord knows that I want him to be with me when I join Him.
This gives me peace. My cat died months ago and we still miss her, I was even wondering will she go to heaven afterwards. But after watching this video, my mind is changed. I hope for the day we’ll reunion. Because when our family pray and read the Bible, my cat seems to have reactions to it too 😭 Also, since humans have been called to manage other creatures, I think that God gave us free will to choose who to follow & love, but not animals. That’s why we have never seen any animal ever sinned intentionally… Perhaps having pets is also a blessing to humans
"Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel." (Proverbs 12:10) "Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds." (Proverbs 27:23)
As a Christian for many years I totally agree with you! I have seven cats waiting for me in heaven. God gave me a dream of one of them running and playing a a beautiful green field. She looked young and healthy. Thanks for this video. So many people grieve their pets just like we do for human family members because they are family members.
First time I have heard something abt this topic. This is beautiful! I tear up. I believe that God will make the new paradise that includes the animals He loved, and made for us to love. ❤
I’m a prophetic dreamer and I’ve seen pets in heaven. While seeing them, I had heard the words. “They are alive! They are alive! They are alive!” It brings me a lot of comfort knowing that our buddies are up there with our family and friends❤️ Soon, we will see them again!
my 13 year old dog was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer recently, he doesn't have much longer to live and it's so painful to imagine my life without him. this video showed up on my recommended...perfect timing, thank you.
I always just think of the simple thought of there being no tears, and part of my heart not being burdened by sadness would be having my pets safe and happy for eternity. I don't have human friends, I have my dogs. And I believe that God would want me to be as happy as possible, and so my dogs will be with me. And that's it, that's my simple thought, and i have faith in that and believe in God.

One additional thought. Gods love for us is so deep and understanding. For all of you weeping over lost pets, over accidents, God sees you and hears you and weeps with you. He wants his children whole and healed and he knows the hole left by the loss. To restore his children means getting back all of their heart. Not just part of it. God Loves, God knows; to assume He wouldn't hear our grief seems to imply that he doesn't care or doesn't know. it falls apart at the seams. If your filling in the dirt around a plant, you fill it completely, if your plugging a pipe you seal it shut, we dont leave the wound open. It would be like a man saying to his wife, 'ill love you forever, except when you act like your mom' the second half of the statement disproves the first, and God in his perfection will not contradict himself. Ive known a couple people who have seen their beloved pet in visions. My Grandmother in Christ had one such vision herself and she is finally at peace, knowing God cares about how much she loved her dog. He loved it too.
*"You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.”* And yet, both people and animals die. People will be resurrected, on Earth, from the *dead.* Animals will not be resurrected from the dead.
My Cat died two weeks ago and this video helped put me at ease. To the rest of you who have pets make sure to care for them often and spend time with them because one day it will be the last time.. For a while at least..
My 13 year old cat passed this March. My another 14 year old cat seems to be declining slowly. Both mean my life to me. They were the reasons why I was able to pushed through Uni and other difficulties in my life as a visually impaired person. I can't wait to see both in heaven.
My beloved dog is my first ever pet and we have a special bond hes a rescue and my best friend I hope when he eventually goes (hopefully many many years from now) that i will see him in heaven 🥰
So was I. There's a horrible video on TH-cam about animals just being empty suits hung on hooks when they're done. It was nearly a deal breaker. Animals can be so full of love, how are they empty suits?
my friend's dog js died n so i was praying for her and i asked the Lord if animals go to heaven, i open up youtube and this is the first thing i see. God's timing ya'll
This video came out the right time. In late July of this year I received news from my mom that she had to put down my nearly twleve year old long-haired miniature dachshund, Heather. I was working out of state at the time when this happened. It absolutely crushed me because I was so looking forward to seeing her again. According to my mom a much older dog severely injured her. They took her to the vet so that they could treat her injuries but after surgery she wasn't making any progress. She lost her will to live and they had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep. Heather wasn't just a dog, she was my best friend,my furry little copilot, my pumpkin puppy,my gift from God. When I was fifteen years old my family lost our Collie,Lassie. My sister and grieved very hard over the death of Lassie. After months of hearing us crying my mom finally caved in and she took us to our local animal shelter. That's where we found Heather. The name they gave her at the shelter was Claire Lee, but we knew it didn’t fit her. We decided on Heather because it was the name of a dachshund from a book we loved called Howl A Day Inn by James Howe. However, we found that Heather had the personality of a sassy spoiled Valley Girl. Even though I loved Lassie she was more of my sister's dog than mine. I was young when we got Lassie,and a whole lot rougher with animals. When I got Heather she took to me immediately. She loved to cuddle with in bed and on the couch, she loved going to Sonic for happy hour (you had to spell Sonic because she would hear it and get excited), and she loved playing with me. Heather came during a time when I struggled with making friends. A lot of girls from church thought of me as the quiet homeschool girl while some of my friends from my homeschool group fell away. Whenever I would feel lonely this little dog would curl up in my lap and look at me as though I was the most wonderful person in the world. I always said that Heather was a gift from God because she was. She was there when I lost my daddy to a sudden heart attack, she was there when I felt alone and scared, she gave me the will to live when I was at my lowest. It amazed me how much love and personality was in such a little dog. I think Heather is in heaven with my dad and our other pets. There is so much I wish I could share with you about Heather but it would probably be a whole book's worth. RIP Heather 2012 to 2024 🐶❤️🙏🏻
By default, all animals will cease to exist. They do not have the desire to live forever like humans do. However if you want them in heaven with you then it’s accepted by God if you make it to heaven that is.
@@kiritokun-2078Desiring to live until the next hour this hour, and desiring to move the hour after that in the next hour can be extended to desiring to live forever. That applies to humans and animals that are comfortable, and doesn't apply to most humans and animals who are in a situation where they are prepared to die. You can't make an argument that humans desire eternity more than animals, but you can make an argument that some humans don't desire it, as I have met people who are distraught by eternity, and comforted at the thought of perishing.
I as one of those humans who felt comfort in not existing, God had saved me showed me it was a lie from the enemy and that his plans for my existence matter and that I wasn't just a chance or a falsehood but gave me comfort in him over my existence.
I’ve seen a lot of NDEs that report seeing their deceased pets in Heaven. I don’t take NDEs as gospel but a lot of accounts correlate with scripture so hopefully, we will all see our beloved companions one day in Heaven!
I just lost my best little furry friend. I'm realizing how much he became the heart of my house and my heart is broken. Thank you so much! This brings me so much for clarifying this! I am so comforted now.
“I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts. For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth?” Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 ESV
I discovered your channel through your newest video about what movies are ok to watch on Monday (9/23), and I must say that you killed it with that one! When I looked at your channel, I immediately came across this one, and I saved it because I knew that we would have to put down our dog very soon. Although, I didn’t realize that we would be saying goodbye today (9/26). I didn’t have time to watch this on Monday, so forgot about it for a couple days. Today, I remembered that I saved this video, and watched it just now. I love how you added to what I already knew about this subject, but ended it by saying we don’t know, because we ultimately can’t. While I am personally still unsure as to whether or not I think that our let’s go to heaven, I do have peace in know that God is in control of all things, and that Heaven will be miraculous regardless of whether or not our dog will be there. As much as I would love them to be, there isn’t any hard factual statement from the Bible to tell us that they definitely will be. As you said, there is a possibility, but I can’t answer that for you. Although it feels right to say our pets go to heaven, we can’t just base our discernment on emotions. Feelings should not ever be allowed to define our faith, as they will cloud discernment. Therefore, I can’t definitively say that our dog is in heaven unless God were to give me some sort of special insight and knowledge about this subject to understand the outcome. If you’ve lost an animal, simply rest in knowing that God does all things for our good and His glory! Whether or not your pet is in heaven, God is using that for the betterment of His kingdom!
My dogs name was Fluffy, she died in 2016. A week ago I had to put another dog, Venus, down. The first thing I did was to pray for her. Give her thanks, and be there with her on her last moments. Just asked God to take care of her along with Fluffy And Timmy while I am still here. Today I got her ashes and then boom, this video comes out. Thanks again Impact/Myles for teaching us the Word of our God.
It's refreshing to hear someone say "I don't know". I agree that Biblical evidence points rather strongly to the presence of pets in heaven, yet many, many preachers will flat-out deny this notion because it isn't explicitly mentioned in Scripture. Just remember this: The Word of God (the Bible) tells us everything we NEED to know for salvation thru Christ. However, the same Bible doesn't even come close to telling us everything there IS to know. The infinite vastness of knowledge, wisdom, discovery and possibilities will only be open to us once we're with the Lord.
I want to thank you for ur vids, it really just helps me out to be better Christian, every time when I am at my lowest and have thoughts abt sin I just play ur vids which fortunately remember me how good God is and I can´t betray him. I hope u are good n wish you well
God is benevolent. God understands our broken hearts when we say goodbye to our pets. Even though the Bible is not specific about our pets being in heaven with us, I personally believe that God will allow it. Heaven will be more than we can even begin to imagine and I believe that our Lord will let us see them again. Don't worry.
My cat Maggie passed away on August 7 it was so devastating she had an illness that eventually manifested and sadly took her life at the age of four I felt like I failed her and it was my fault but then my mother told me a few days later after her death she had a dream about our cat and she was drinking water from a beautiful lake in heaven and she looked at my mom and seemed to have smiled at her like she was in so much peace and happiness so I truly believe our pets will be with us again and we will see them again just have faith and cherish the memories we have with our pets. God bless❤️❤️❤️
My sister's dog and I formed a strong bond for years, when he died, I was living in another city about 350 miles from where she was.... After 3 days his spirit came to visit me, he didn't show himself visually, but he ran around my house, and I could clearly tell it was his little Dachshund galloping with his little nails hitting the floor. In that moment I knew I would see him again without a doubt just like I will see my deceased dog Peanut "my boy". Thank you for this video!
God has a place for His creation. Here's the breakdown: ( impact I pray you agree ) Humans have Spirit, which goes to God responds to God and makes free will decisions. We also have souls - basic emotions, sadness, happiness, joy, love, hate, hunger sleepiness. And finally, our bodies - human flesh. Animals have souls- emotions feelings anger, happiness, and pleasure, but they don't ponder eternity and wonder who made the stars and creation. There will be Animals in Heaven-- pets? Idk but I do know, like impact said God loves His creation and has a place for them. Will fluffy be in Heaven? Will my cat Tegan who died in my arms at the vet in 2008? Idk but "Eye has not seen nor entered into the heart of man what God has planned for those who love Him." I'm hoping to see Tegan again, but if not? God will wipe away all my tears. But we don't know what our loving Father might do. Praise God and His Son Christ Jesus. 🙏 ❤
My cat passed away a couple of weeks ago- I was devastated as you probably can relate… several hours after we put him down I prayed and cried on my bed and I turned around (still not sure why I did) and I saw a lion/cat looking cloud in the sky… I showed my mum came back downstairs to my bedroom and the cloud was gone … I really believe it was God saying he’s got my cat. Be encouraged 🙏🏻🙌
@@oreally8605 Yeah it gave me so so much encouragement and I really wanted to share that with people. As I really know the pain of losing a beloved pet but also the feeling of fear of not being able to see them again .
Thank you for this. I’m the person who donated before and specifically requested this video. I’ve already donated again. If you all will message or email me and let me know if there’s anything you need, I’ll make it happen. This meant an awful lot to me. So very much.
I read that Dietrich Bonhoeffer was once asked this question by a boy whose dog had just died. He was caught off guard by it and stated that there was no reason to say that pets wouldn’t be there.
While animals aren’t as important as people they still are God’s creation, like when God saved them from the flood. I lost my cat for 8 years a little back but I wasn’t that sad knowing I will hopefully see her one day.
It's been almost 1 year since my 17 yr old kitty Roxie passed. I love her and I had comfort knowing she was now with God. She used to sit with me when I studied the Word, and whenever we prayed she would come from wherever she was in the house and sit attentively when we did. We we sang worship music she would come and listen as well. She had such a sweet gentle spirit.
Thankyou so much for this video. I recently became a dog owner & I love him unconditionally. It's also opened my eyes to how the world is so cruel & unfair to some poor animals. This video answered a lot of the questions I had & gave me the peace I needed. God Bless 🙏🤍
This is incredible i have read the comments and all of us who got this video recommended thought of this recently i literally thought about it the moment you posted this video. Praise God!❤✝️
When I was 10-ish, we had already had two beloved cats for a few years and I could no longer imagine what life would be like without them. I was growing up and the realization that I would start losing loved ones soon was starting to hit me, so I wrote a lot of poetry and prose to cope with these feelings. Big, legitimate feelings that children deserve honest - if appropriate - answers to. I remember writing a poem about how when my cats died, they would go be God and Jesus' personal pets in heaven because they had been SO good, and that I wouldn't have to worry about seeing them again because they would be God's cats until then, and maybe they always were anyway. And now I'm getting choked up remembering writing it and how much comfort it gave me when they did pass away. 😹😹😹😹
When I lost both Burbank and Ryzzo I thought no one would fully understand. Many years ago when my dad was a lot younger and working, his occupation was a antiwoke exterminator(he even enjoyed his job); so it came as a big surprise that he was hurting as well when we lost our 2 beloved cats. He told me this one thing and I saw him now in a different light, "God IS NOT an exterminator!" Mind you he is very God fearing Christian. He told me as well that when Jesus comes we will see them again.
This is really helpfull for me right now... A few months ago i lost a chicken i loved dearly and my goldfish who had a great personality, and was quite big.. i loved both very much and over the past 4 years ive lost 6-7 loved pets. I cant get over my chicken and goldfish though.. they keep coming back in my mind and i keep thinking i didnt treat them good enough, this video has comforted me. Thank you for sharing this.
I went to a church once where the pastor wasn't a good man at all and I could sense that. And he stood at the pulpit and said that animals had no souls. At the same time, I had flipped through my bible and randomly found the passage in Galatians I believe about whether the "souls of animals" going wherever. Really sealed the deal to me that he truly had no clue. God made animals before us, and He said the creation "was good." He made humans and gave them charge over the animals, yes, but we were meant to exist with them in perfection. Religious holidays and sabbaths in the old times, animals were to rest, too. So God cared about that as well. I believe animals are much like children in a way, and that they'll be in heaven. I don't see God keeping us separated from them because He put them in our lives to begin with. Especially in those moments where you're at some low point in your life and an animal just "shows up" into your life. That's not a coincidence to me.
I remember there being a funny little quote on Twitter. Someone asked if anyone knew someone named “Sheldon” and someone responded with “my 6th grade turtle.” When someone pointed out that it’s a turtle and not a person they said “When God sings with his creations will a turtle not be part of the choir?” It’s small things like that that further my belief that although we have wronged both God and heaven we are still allowed glimpses into paradise where hopefully we will find ourselves with our family and friends.
People have had near death experiences where they see their pets in Heaven before being told they have to go back because they have more to do in their life.
I'd say amen to Christ after watching this! Now, there was a content creator from Hammy and Olivia, Chris, who uploaded a short on November 8,2023, involving his corgi, Olivia, passing away. I became sympathetic after hearing this tragic news. Chris's followers also gave sympathy. Now, take notice that I am uncertain how his pet's soul is going to be like. What matters is that our Heavenly Father takes great care of the animals, for He created them!
Love this video. Another scripture that I don’t recall being mentioned that helped me in my time of grieving. Is: “But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.” 1 Corinthians 15:38-44 ESV
Dude thank you for your videos I was having heavy doubts that I was saved ect but I realized, it’s not my feelings, it’s not my thoughts and Jesus knows my heart and he never changes so I feel alot better now and way more serious about following God, also for animals idk if they will but I trust God in it and I think they would but truthfully idk it’s God’s choice 😅
Me crying at the end coz I remember my 2yr old baby Shih Tzu who just passed away last Sept 4, 2024. I miss you so much baby 💔 I still cry about her every time and the mourning doesn’t seem to end from the way that she died from so many complications and there was just so much regret. My family wouldn’t listen from the many times I begged them to bring her to the hospital and I acted too late to save her. This channel always gives me comfort. Thank you so much 🥺🙏🏻🐾🪽✝️Amen

Do you think animals go to heaven?
I used to think no, but honestly I have changed my mind recently. Nice a video was made to coverup any of my remaining confusions. :)
if animals have souls than they cant have faith in god so they wont be in heaven sadly
Of course they do they have a soul!
Probably. I mean death is never er the end

The question at hand is not about whether God cares for His creatures, including animals. Scripture acknowledges that He does. However, the issue is whether God has arranged for animals to share the same reward as faithful followers of Christ-eternal life in heaven.
As 2 Peter 2:12 describes, animals are irrational and instinctive by nature, unlike humans, who are created in God’s image and capable of moral reasoning and spiritual faithfulness. Jesus emphasized this distinction in Luke 12:7, where He stated that although God cares for all His creations, His love for humans far exceeds His concern for animals:
“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
If humans must meet the requirements of godly standards, principles, and morality-living in faithful obedience to the gospel-to receive the reward of eternal life, it is inconsistent to suggest that animals, which do not share this capacity, would receive such a reward by default.
Take, for instance, aggressive dogs that were euthanized after attacking a young child. While they may have been loved by their owners, their actions reflect the instinctive and amoral nature of animals. Why, then, should they be granted access to the kingdom of God simply because they were cherished? This would conflict with the divine justice and moral accountability God has established for humankind.

When I was an addict and drunkard, my cats stayed away from me. Now that I have been delivered from my addictions and walk with the Lord and continue to grow closer to Him, they like to stay with me as much as possible. In the morning, when they're hungry, theyre calm when I read my Bible and join me when Im praying (they dont pray with me but as Im on the side of the bed, theyre resting quietly on top of the bed). I do believe that animals can recognize God and want to be around those that have Him in their heart.
I’ve actually heard of this with animals! Someone I listen to had a coke problem, and his cats wouldn’t go near him, or at most be a bit icy. After he got off the stuff, the cats warmed up to him. Animals know! God knows! Bless you and well done at beating your addiction. God is great.
@spoopyidk thank you! I couldn't do it without God's wonderful grace and I'm so blessed to have Him in my life now and to have my cats! Many blessings to you!

Animals do not sin, and they ALL belong to God. There’s always a special place in Heaven for them all 🤍
So what about the male hippos chewing the babies to death? What about the orcas "playing" with the penguins before killing them? Is there a place in heaven for this? Serious question, some animals are brutal, how does this fit together?
@@geotobi727Well, they do not know right from wrong. They do not know Jesus; therefore, with God's mercy, they are saved.
Nope.
@@geotobi727 Your question is an interesting one. I don't think it is all black and white. Some people train dogs to be mean. So I don't think all animals are in Heaven. Mostly I think if you love a pet, you will be with that pet in the afterlife.
@petermacquarrie8977 that's unbiblical mindset. what make the animals in the wild less matter than your pets?
I lost many cats to unfortunate circumstances and I remember having a very vivid dream of them all being in heaven, they were all radiant and beautiful and I could even pet them and they felt real, I truly believe animals go to heaven especially our beloved pets.
I love that and I pray that I see that one day.
I also had a vivid dream about one of my cats in heaven shortly after she passed away. She was leaping and playing in a beautiful green field and her coat was glowing and shiny. Now I have seven cats in heaven waiting for me. It’s such a comfort since we always outlive them. This video is spot on!
My husband too had a dream of our cat who died a couple days later and said she was in a room full of light and she was so happy , playing around and there was a glow all around her 🥹 I definitely believe my coco is in Heaven.
That was a dream animals don't go to heaven sorry
@@Robsreviews85 You must be very unpleasant to be around.
I hope my pet fish will be there, he always does a little dance when he sees me. Hopefully I can at least I can give em a good life now either way
A lot of animals really aren't given the credit they're due just because they're not as cute or fuzzy, fish included. When I was a kid we had a tank with several fish, and one specific little tetra always came up to the surface to see me. Not simply for food like the others in the tank, but just to get gentle little pets on her head and back from my fingertip, she'd do this every time I walked by. Even insects have unique personalities: I volunteered at the Oregon Zoo during summers between high school, often working in the Insect Zoo, and we had several praying mantises. Each of them would get a cricket to eat and typically they'd eat all of it, but one particular mantis would routinely just bite off the head and throw away the rest, every single time; we called her 'Ivanka the Terrible' as a result.
@@walter1383 oh my gosh at is so cute Ivanka the terrible is amazing LOL. Its crazy how so many miss the cuteness of these little guys, they have so much personality and especially sass. Thank you for those adorable stories of the misunderstood
that’s so cute and wholesome 😭💗
@@walter1383 Yeah, like, I have a pet frog (and two more that passed some time ago) and I love them all. I hope they'll be in Heaven, but at least if they aren't, I'm comforted knowing that they cannot sin, and therefore are not in Hell either. Perhaps they simply cease if they do not go to Heaven. If that is the case, I'm happy to know that they are at least not suffering.

@@SheikLogic My friend, God is waiting for you in heaven. You should look forward to meeting Him and not your pets. The joy you've felt spending time with your dogs cannot compare to the joy God Himself will give you.

@@SheikLogic That would imply God is not enough for you if you have to ask Him for some pets.
I believe pets are a blessing on earth, to teach even the cruelest of humans how to love. When we grieve their loss, we feel the sorrow from losing a life because of love. And from there, we learn that life has value for other people and not just ourselves, leading to compassion.
You will God can make it happen
My pastor said that no animals has soul, and that bothered me for long while.
So my husband sent this video to me, and it bring comfort knowing that all of animals does have breath of life aka soul.
Because at age 15, I was given a gift from God, a kitten who was glued to my hip the moment we met, and I've had her with me for 19 long years and losing her broke me to the point I was living in darkness before my husband decided to check the Church we currently go to, and gently drag me there, if it was not for Church and God, and Jesus, I will probably won't be here.
Baby, my cat was my heart cat, my soulmate, and my first love, and we never spent so long separated, but when my husband and I started dating when i was 21, Baby accepted him instantly, unlike other guys she met that she'd hiss and hide til they leave.
We eventually said that we knew that she was the best gift from God Himself, and I have been looking forward to be reunited with her again. This is why it bothered me so much when our Pastor said that animals does not have soul, while over here I knew they do, because of what I've grew up with, a cat who was bonded to me by spirit and unconditional love.
We said good bye on May 3rd 2021, and it still hasn't been easy. I still miss her daily.
I'm not trying to ruin your mood or downplay your experience. But why would you put your happiness on animals and lift them of the same status as human to the point where you think they are your soulmates. Animals do have souls but that doesn't mean they will go to heaven, Animals while important aren't made out of God's image, so don't be too sad if you lose them. Afterall you aren't sad when you eat other animals, or when a bug died. Just because something makes you happy that doesn't make it truely important, afterall lot of things in this world make us happy such as drugs, porn. Yet that doesn't mean we can twist the bible just to fit our narrative or else you are making animals your own God. Which is disrespectful.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, i just want to remind you that our happiness lies on God, if we need animals to be happy when we are in heaven, then we don't really put our trust and happiness on God. Of course i hope you can meet with meet again with your pet though.
@@None-if3mo dude what? this cat is quite obviously very precious to her and youre saying she doesnt matter? and isnt important? yes we shouldnt put animals above God but people are allowed to love their pets just as they are allowed to love other people.

@@PrayingForTruth Please read that carefully. That was a covenant not to destroy the earth with water again thereby killing all humans and animals residing upon it. That had nothing to do with eternal life. Read it again.
@toreyhorton1789, I'm confused; I didn't say anything about eternal life, just that Genesis tells us that God the Father made His covenant with both Man and all the creatures of the earth.
@@PrayingForTruth
What covenant did He make?
This video is regarding the possibility of pets or animals being in heaven. Is it not?
So, according to Genesis 9:8-17, what was the covenant God made with both humans and animals? That is an important detail.
Genesis 9:11 - I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
That is the covenant. So, it has nothing to do with the topic of this video.
@@PrayingForTruth
Not to mention you wrote in another post that these verses suggest animals go to heaven. Did you not? Why act as if I'm way off base with my retort?
When I was little I use to try to teach my pets about Jesus. I wanted them to go to Heaven with me. Sadly those animals have passed away but this video has really helped me.
I used to have two adorable dogs that i taught to sit, wait, & pray with me while i prayed over their meal, before i would set their bowls down. It was clear they understood.
It was our very special moment in time each day that i cherished.
... it was precious of you to teach your pets about Jesus. You never know how much they understood, but at least you took the time to teach them and Jesus will surely cover you with blessing, and the chance to see them all in Heaven someday. 😻

My favorite thing that I heard about this is that was “Man sinned on earth not animals.”
@@Syrah69 Yet, animals were the first living creatures to physically die and God approved of it. Abel sacrificed a choice selection of animals from his flock including their fat. God disapproved of Cain's offering of fruitage from the earth. Yet, He approved of Abel's killing of animals as an offering to Him.
I firmly believe animals died in the Garden of Eden. Some animals don't live longer than a few weeks like butterflies. Adam and Eve would have understood being sentenced to death by simply watching the animals that died in the garden.
My 2 pigs died while I was at church. My parents allowed some of our workers to slaughter them for meat without telling me, and when I finally found ot on Sunday morning I wanted to just loose it. I tried not to cry during the service and when we arrived home I cried hard.
I'm so very sorry.

@@AdhiniZulu So sorry to hear. Losing pets is terrible. And that way sounds especially horrendous. It sounds like the devil was mad you were going to church and looking for a way to discourage you.

It's saying that animals also have spirits, like humans, and who knows where that spirit goes. We don't really know where the soul goes beyond 'heaven.' But it's a verse pointing out that the animals have souls, too.
@@aaron-t8l by the question mark at the end we can tell that it is not definite whether animals go to heaven, at least from this verse, but that they do have souls
@@littlezorkanimals do not have spirits read the entire thing. Solomon mentions in Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 that men and animals face the same fate -- we both die. And Solomon notes that though by faith we are certain that men go to heaven, we can't prove this while living in the physical world. "Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?" (Ecclesiastes 3:21). Though expressed in a form of a question, notice that there are two different fates for men and for animals. Animals return to the dust of the world, so do the bodies of men. But the spirits of men return to God. "Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12:7).

This gives me peace. My cat died months ago and we still miss her, I was even wondering will she go to heaven afterwards. But after watching this video, my mind is changed. I hope for the day we’ll reunion. Because when our family pray and read the Bible, my cat seems to have reactions to it too 😭
Also, since humans have been called to manage other creatures, I think that God gave us free will to choose who to follow & love, but not animals. That’s why we have never seen any animal ever sinned intentionally…
Perhaps having pets is also a blessing to humans
"Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel." (Proverbs 12:10)
"Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds." (Proverbs 27:23)
As a Christian for many years I totally agree with you! I have seven cats waiting for me in heaven. God gave me a dream of one of them running and playing a a beautiful green field.

One additional thought. Gods love for us is so deep and understanding. For all of you weeping over lost pets, over accidents, God sees you and hears you and weeps with you. He wants his children whole and healed and he knows the hole left by the loss. To restore his children means getting back all of their heart. Not just part of it.
God Loves, God knows; to assume He wouldn't hear our grief seems to imply that he doesn't care or doesn't know. it falls apart at the seams. If your filling in the dirt around a plant, you fill it completely, if your plugging a pipe you seal it shut, we dont leave the wound open. It would be like a man saying to his wife, 'ill love you forever, except when you act like your mom' the second half of the statement disproves the first, and God in his perfection will not contradict himself.
Ive known a couple people who have seen their beloved pet in visions. My Grandmother in Christ had one such vision herself and she is finally at peace, knowing God cares about how much she loved her dog. He loved it too.
Psalm 36:6 NIV “Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.”
*"You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.”* And yet, both people and animals die. People will be resurrected, on Earth, from the *dead.* Animals will not be resurrected from the dead.

So was I. There's a horrible video on TH-cam about animals just being empty suits hung on hooks when they're done. It was nearly a deal breaker. Animals can be so full of love, how are they empty suits?
my friend's dog js died n so i was praying for her and i asked the Lord if animals go to heaven, i open up youtube and this is the first thing i see. God's timing ya'll
This video came out the right time. In late July of this year I received news from my mom that she had to put down my nearly twleve year old long-haired miniature dachshund, Heather.
I was working out of state at the time when this happened. It absolutely crushed me because I was so looking forward to seeing her again. According to my mom a much older dog severely injured her. They took her to the vet so that they could treat her injuries but after surgery she wasn't making any progress. She lost her will to live and they had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep.
Heather wasn't just a dog, she was my best friend,my furry little copilot, my pumpkin puppy,my gift from God. When I was fifteen years old my family lost our Collie,Lassie. My sister and grieved very hard over the death of Lassie. After months of hearing us crying my mom finally caved in and she took us to our local animal shelter. That's where we found Heather. The name they gave her at the shelter was Claire Lee, but we knew it didn’t fit her. We decided on Heather because it was the name of a dachshund from a book we loved called Howl A Day Inn by James Howe. However, we found that Heather had the personality of a sassy spoiled Valley Girl.
Even though I loved Lassie she was more of my sister's dog than mine. I was young when we got Lassie,and a whole lot rougher with animals. When I got Heather she took to me immediately. She loved to cuddle with in bed and on the couch, she loved going to Sonic for happy hour (you had to spell Sonic because she would hear it and get excited), and she loved playing with me.
Heather came during a time when I struggled with making friends. A lot of girls from church thought of me as the quiet homeschool girl while some of my friends from my homeschool group fell away. Whenever I would feel lonely this little dog would curl up in my lap and look at me as though I was the most wonderful person in the world. I always said that Heather was a gift from God because she was. She was there when I lost my daddy to a sudden heart attack, she was there when I felt alone and scared, she gave me the will to live when I was at my lowest. It amazed me how much love and personality was in such a little dog. I think Heather is in heaven with my dad and our other pets.
There is so much I wish I could share with you about Heather but it would probably be a whole book's worth.
RIP Heather 2012 to 2024 🐶❤️🙏🏻
❤❤I think animals too will go to heaven, just like they were saved in the Noah's ark. The ark represented the kingdom of Heaven.
Many mansions in the father's house.
The covenant of the rainbow was also made with the animals, not just Noah and his family. Something many people fail to notice.
By default, all animals will cease to exist. They do not have the desire to live forever like humans do. However if you want them in heaven with you then it’s accepted by God if you make it to heaven that is.
@@kiritokun-2078Desiring to live until the next hour this hour, and desiring to move the hour after that in the next hour can be extended to desiring to live forever. That applies to humans and animals that are comfortable, and doesn't apply to most humans and animals who are in a situation where they are prepared to die. You can't make an argument that humans desire eternity more than animals, but you can make an argument that some humans don't desire it, as I have met people who are distraught by eternity, and comforted at the thought of perishing.
I as one of those humans who felt comfort in not existing, God had saved me showed me it was a lie from the enemy and that his plans for my existence matter and that I wasn't just a chance or a falsehood but gave me comfort in him over my existence.
My cat passed away yesterday. I’m so upset. I need healing and some comfort is why I came here. Thank you for the video.
I’ve seen a lot of NDEs that report seeing their deceased pets in Heaven. I don’t take NDEs as gospel but a lot of accounts correlate with scripture so hopefully, we will all see our beloved companions one day in Heaven!
I just lost my best little furry friend. I'm realizing how much he became the heart of my house and my heart is broken. Thank you so much! This brings me so much for clarifying this! I am so comforted now.
“I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts. For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth?”
Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 ESV
I discovered your channel through your newest video about what movies are ok to watch on Monday (9/23), and I must say that you killed it with that one! When I looked at your channel, I immediately came across this one, and I saved it because I knew that we would have to put down our dog very soon. Although, I didn’t realize that we would be saying goodbye today (9/26). I didn’t have time to watch this on Monday, so forgot about it for a couple days. Today, I remembered that I saved this video, and watched it just now. I love how you added to what I already knew about this subject, but ended it by saying we don’t know, because we ultimately can’t.
While I am personally still unsure as to whether or not I think that our let’s go to heaven, I do have peace in know that God is in control of all things, and that Heaven will be miraculous regardless of whether or not our dog will be there. As much as I would love them to be, there isn’t any hard factual statement from the Bible to tell us that they definitely will be. As you said, there is a possibility, but I can’t answer that for you. Although it feels right to say our pets go to heaven, we can’t just base our discernment on emotions. Feelings should not ever be allowed to define our faith, as they will cloud discernment. Therefore, I can’t definitively say that our dog is in heaven unless God were to give me some sort of special insight and knowledge about this subject to understand the outcome.
If you’ve lost an animal, simply rest in knowing that God does all things for our good and His glory! Whether or not your pet is in heaven, God is using that for the betterment of His kingdom!
My dogs name was Fluffy, she died in 2016. A week ago I had to put another dog, Venus, down. The first thing I did was to pray for her. Give her thanks, and be there with her on her last moments. Just asked God to take care of her along with Fluffy And Timmy while I am still here. Today I got her ashes and then boom, this video comes out. Thanks again Impact/Myles for teaching us the Word of our God.
I thank god for my little Alfie ❤️ I just love him so much he is my world! Animals are truly a gift from god, he is definitely imprinted on my soul 🙏
I've been blessed with so many wonderful dogs in my life. I so want to be with them again. 🙏
It's refreshing to hear someone say "I don't know". I agree that Biblical evidence points rather strongly to the presence of pets in heaven, yet many, many preachers will flat-out deny this notion because it isn't explicitly mentioned in Scripture. Just remember this: The Word of God (the Bible) tells us everything we NEED to know
for salvation thru Christ. However, the same Bible doesn't even come close to telling us everything there IS to know. The infinite vastness of knowledge, wisdom, discovery and possibilities will only be open to us once we're with the Lord.
I want to thank you for ur vids, it really just helps me out to be better Christian, every time when I am at my lowest and have thoughts abt sin I just play ur vids which fortunately remember me how good God is and I can´t betray him. I hope u are good n wish you well
Thank you brother for preaching about the gospel . I love you. and GOD loves you.
God is benevolent. God understands our broken hearts when we say goodbye to our pets. Even though the Bible is not specific about our pets being in heaven with us, I personally believe that God will allow it. Heaven will be more than we can even begin to imagine and I believe that our Lord will let us see them again. Don't worry.
Hey what about that movie All dogs go to Heaven?? 😊 We love our pets & so does Jesus!! 🦜🐕🐈🦮🐱🐶🐥🕊️
I love it ❤️❤️❤️ God bless you 🙏
My cat Maggie passed away on August 7 it was so devastating she had an illness that eventually manifested and sadly took her life at the age of four I felt like I failed her and it was my fault but then my mother told me a few days later after her death she had a dream about our cat and she was drinking water from a beautiful lake in heaven and she looked at my mom and seemed to have smiled at her like she was in so much peace and happiness so I truly believe our pets will be with us again and we will see them again just have faith and cherish the memories we have with our pets.
God bless❤️❤️❤️
I genuinely hope they do go heaven so we can see them again someday!! I love animals!😭😍 😢
My sister's dog and I formed a strong bond for years, when he died, I was living in another city about 350 miles from where she was.... After 3 days his spirit came to visit me, he didn't show himself visually, but he ran around my house, and I could clearly tell it was his little Dachshund galloping with his little nails hitting the floor. In that moment I knew I would see him again without a doubt just like I will see my deceased dog Peanut "my boy". Thank you for this video!
God has a place for His creation. Here's the breakdown: ( impact I pray you agree ) Humans have Spirit, which goes to God responds to God and makes free will decisions. We also have souls - basic emotions, sadness, happiness, joy, love, hate, hunger sleepiness. And finally, our bodies - human flesh. Animals have souls- emotions feelings anger, happiness, and pleasure, but they don't ponder eternity and wonder who made the stars and creation. There will be Animals in Heaven-- pets? Idk but I do know, like impact said God loves His creation and has a place for them. Will fluffy be in Heaven? Will my cat Tegan who died in my arms at the vet in 2008? Idk but "Eye has not seen nor entered into the heart of man what God has planned for those who love Him." I'm hoping to see Tegan again, but if not? God will wipe away all my tears. But we don't know what our loving Father might do. Praise God and His Son Christ Jesus. 🙏 ❤
My cat passed away a couple of weeks ago- I was devastated as you probably can relate… several hours after we put him down I prayed and cried on my bed and I turned around (still not sure why I did) and I saw a lion/cat looking cloud in the sky… I showed my mum came back downstairs to my bedroom and the cloud was gone … I really believe it was God saying he’s got my cat. Be encouraged 🙏🏻🙌
@BenMcleanhall you're gonna get me crying! 😢 Praise God Brother.
@@oreally8605 Yeah it gave me so so much encouragement and I really wanted to share that with people. As I really know the pain of losing a beloved pet but also the feeling of fear of not being able to see them again .
Thank you for this. I’m the person who donated before and specifically requested this video. I’ve already donated again. If you all will message or email me and let me know if there’s anything you need, I’ll make it happen. This meant an awful lot to me. So very much.
Beautiful kitty! Thank you for this- I've been curious since I lost a few pets in my lifetime, who I loved a lot- GOD bless
I read that Dietrich Bonhoeffer was once asked this question by a boy whose dog had just died. He was caught off guard by it and stated that there was no reason to say that pets wouldn’t be there.
“Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.”
Psalm 150:6 KJV
While animals aren’t as important as people they still are God’s creation, like when God saved them from the flood. I lost my cat for 8 years a little back but I wasn’t that sad knowing I will hopefully see her one day.
Thank You ❤
Animals obey God, therefor they know God, they believe in him ❤✝️
How do they obey God??
“Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have.”
Philippians 4:6 ERV
#6 has been my go-to defense for animals going to heaven ❤🎉
It's been almost 1 year since my 17 yr old kitty Roxie passed. I love her and I had comfort knowing she was now with God. She used to sit with me when I studied the Word, and whenever we prayed she would come from wherever she was in the house and sit attentively when we did. We we sang worship music she would come and listen as well. She had such a sweet gentle spirit.
I was also wondering this question with my little puppy, Aura. 😊
Thankyou so much for this video. I recently became a dog owner & I love him unconditionally. It's also opened my eyes to how the world is so cruel & unfair to some poor animals. This video answered a lot of the questions I had & gave me the peace I needed. God Bless 🙏🤍
This is incredible i have read the comments and all of us who got this video recommended thought of this recently i literally thought about it the moment you posted this video. Praise God!❤✝️
We just put down our dog of 13 years, thankyou for this video. God bless.
God is Lord
When I was 10-ish, we had already had two beloved cats for a few years and I could no longer imagine what life would be like without them. I was growing up and the realization that I would start losing loved ones soon was starting to hit me, so I wrote a lot of poetry and prose to cope with these feelings. Big, legitimate feelings that children deserve honest - if appropriate - answers to. I remember writing a poem about how when my cats died, they would go be God and Jesus' personal pets in heaven because they had been SO good, and that I wouldn't have to worry about seeing them again because they would be God's cats until then, and maybe they always were anyway. And now I'm getting choked up remembering writing it and how much comfort it gave me when they did pass away. 😹😹😹😹
When I lost both Burbank and Ryzzo I thought no one would fully understand.
Many years ago when my dad was a lot younger and working, his occupation was a antiwoke exterminator(he even enjoyed his job); so it came as a big surprise that he was hurting as well when we lost our 2 beloved cats. He told me this one thing and I saw him now in a different light, "God IS NOT an exterminator!" Mind you he is very God fearing Christian. He told me as well that when Jesus comes we will see them again.
@@angeladonohue4592 im sorry for your losses, but can I ask, what is an antiwoke exterminator? I googled it and couldn't find anything
This is really helpfull for me right now...
A few months ago i lost a chicken i loved dearly and my goldfish who had a great personality, and was quite big.. i loved both very much and over the past 4 years ive lost 6-7 loved pets. I cant get over my chicken and goldfish though.. they keep coming back in my mind and i keep thinking i didnt treat them good enough, this video has comforted me. Thank you for sharing this.
I moved countries a while back and had to leave my beloved cat behind, will likely never see him again in this life
But we'll be reunited in heaven❤
Let EVERY THING that have BREATH praise the Lord ❤🎉
I went to a church once where the pastor wasn't a good man at all and I could sense that. And he stood at the pulpit and said that animals had no souls. At the same time, I had flipped through my bible and randomly found the passage in Galatians I believe about whether the "souls of animals" going wherever. Really sealed the deal to me that he truly had no clue.
God made animals before us, and He said the creation "was good." He made humans and gave them charge over the animals, yes, but we were meant to exist with them in perfection.
Religious holidays and sabbaths in the old times, animals were to rest, too. So God cared about that as well.
I believe animals are much like children in a way, and that they'll be in heaven. I don't see God keeping us separated from them because He put them in our lives to begin with. Especially in those moments where you're at some low point in your life and an animal just "shows up" into your life. That's not a coincidence to me.
Animals do not have souls. They are souls just like humans are souls i.e. living beings.
I remember there being a funny little quote on Twitter. Someone asked if anyone knew someone named “Sheldon” and someone responded with “my 6th grade turtle.” When someone pointed out that it’s a turtle and not a person they said “When God sings with his creations will a turtle not be part of the choir?” It’s small things like that that further my belief that although we have wronged both God and heaven we are still allowed glimpses into paradise where hopefully we will find ourselves with our family and friends.
I see you watch memes too, I happen to do as well
People have had near death experiences where they see their pets in Heaven before being told they have to go back because they have more to do in their life.
I lost my dog Lucy when I was 4 I still remember her after all these years and I remember that day that tragic day
I’m so excited to see eveyone in heaven god ,jesus,Moses ,marry etc including my Guinea pigs
I can't wait to worship God forever in the new Jerusalem ❤ I'm just excited thinking about it 😊
Thanks impact video ministries. You have been one of the TH-camrs who inspired me to make this channel and spread the gospel to someone else.
God gave His Breath to Us and animals as well .
I'd say amen to Christ after watching this! Now, there was a content creator from Hammy and Olivia, Chris, who uploaded a short on November 8,2023, involving his corgi, Olivia, passing away. I became sympathetic after hearing this tragic news. Chris's followers also gave sympathy. Now, take notice that I am uncertain how his pet's soul is going to be like. What matters is that our Heavenly Father takes great care of the animals, for He created them!
Love this video. Another scripture that I don’t recall being mentioned that helped me in my time of grieving. Is:
“But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.”
1 Corinthians 15:38-44 ESV
Dude thank you for your videos I was having heavy doubts that I was saved ect but I realized, it’s not my feelings, it’s not my thoughts and Jesus knows my heart and he never changes so I feel alot better now and way more serious about following God, also for animals idk if they will but I trust God in it and I think they would but truthfully idk it’s God’s choice 😅
I had a cat that saved me from suicid. He just looked at me and mowed. I believe God sent him because my time hadn't come.
i don’t know if it’s related to the video but i have a calico cat who also is named miko!! great video btw :)
Oh cool!
Me crying at the end coz I remember my 2yr old baby Shih Tzu who just passed away last Sept 4, 2024. I miss you so much baby 💔 I still cry about her every time and the mourning doesn’t seem to end from the way that she died from so many complications and there was just so much regret. My family wouldn’t listen from the many times I begged them to bring her to the hospital and I acted too late to save her. This channel always gives me comfort. Thank you so much 🥺🙏🏻🐾🪽✝️Amen

My Dog Brownie Died Last Year and I've Had Her In My Life For As Long As I Can Remember. On The Same Day She Passed Away She Looked Like She Was In So Much Pain And All I Can Say Is I Am Happy That She's Not Suffering Anymore And That She Is With God And My Grandfather✝️❤️😢🥹
As always, such a powerful message. Thank you! And kudos to the animation artist, I love his work!Blessings to you and your team❤
Please pray that intrusive thoughts related to unintentionally invoking Satan immediately leave me in Jesus' name and stay gone
Fr my dog just passed away last Thursday and I really needed to hear this! Thank you so much!
