Not every Christian is going to have the same life in heaven? Isn't that works based if in heaven one christian has a mansion while another has a shack? I don't understand how that works?
@@Katherine-gq9fm It's true! Our salvation isn't works based but how we live in the afterlife is. John goes through all the scripture and explains it all in an earlier podcast called, "You've been lied to about Heaven." That video sheds a lot of light on it.
I know the bible says how we are gonna be like angels and not marry. So my question is what will our relationships with our wife's, brothers, and sisters be like?
I got filled with the Holy Spirit listening to the relentless curriculum in 2014. This is a true man of God!!! They sent me free books when I was in prison. Please stay consistent and reap your harvest!
I remember when I heard Gods voice audibly! When the devil was coming as an angel of light and offered me riches and fame… I spiritually had a knowing that this was a contract and I remember I bowed my head and before the words even finished in my mind!! I said “God is this you” and he responded before I finished the last word and he said “this is someone pretending to be God”.
I only spend a moment with God in His Presence, and I dont want to leave...I cannot wait to live in His Presence.The Word says there is fullness of joy in the Presence of God!
Pastor John Bevere, when I was stationed in Hawaii with the Marine Corps about 5 years ago, I got to hear you speak in person at Inspire Church. Several years later I'm about to get out of the Marines and feel a strong calling towards ministry. I'm working on your book Honors Reward (its amazing) and just bought the Awe of God. I'm now at River of Life church in Jacksonville NC near Camp Lejuene. I'm on fire for Christ seeing Marines I work with come to Jesus. Thank you for everything. May God increase the annointing and power of your ministry for him.
I also live in Jacksonville Nc. Although I do not attend ROL. I am praying for you. Continue to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might. Shalom.
If you would, please pray for my son Silas, who is an active duty Marine right now, but who is not saved. He was raised in church and with Scripture but has stepped away from his faith in the last two years. Please pray that he returns to the Lord! Thank you!
The colors in Heaven are so Rich! The Crystal River soooooooo clear, filled with shiny golden nuggets on the bottom and Light Fish swimming around in it!!! 🐠🐠🐠 I saw it in visions Jesus gave me! Hope this gives someone HOPE, cuz it’s TRUE, Amen! 🙌
The lord took me to heaven yrs ago and showed me my twin daughters who past away before birth. They looked to be 7 yrs old and were playing in the crystal clear slow moving River you're describing. The Glory of the lord lite up the sky and glistened off the water. The green grass was so lush and beautiful unlike anything I had ever seen. Off in the distance I saw the kingdom of God in golden domes that no man could have built.
@@fortnitegod2236 Amen! The flower, clouds even Angels sing and praise The Lord in the most Loving Glories way! The Light That Flows From Jesus Is Brighter than ten thousand sun's and Radiates Love/Energy. The Hard Truth is that you leave your body when it's your time and The Holy Spirit is That Deep Intuition That you feel. Thank You Lord For Your Love And Grace! Thank You God For Blessing those who are seeking You. Seeing/hearing this 8/09/2024 bring comfort to myself and others that You are more Real than this worldly narrative. Thank You GOD! From This Life!
I died in 98, saw my dad. I lost all my blood while in hospital surgery gone wrong nicked artery that burst later. After life support and waking up I remember after they put me to sleep, me thinking I'd never wake up again cause it took 2 bags of blood just to keep me alive to o.r. .I lost all my blood I was born with and died on table, got pneumonia and a embolism, Dr said NO BUT JESUS SAID DIFFERENT THATwas 26 yrs ago. So after I'm off life support I see a escalator with about 6 ppl all black and one white man all grouped close on that escalator ..so I tell my b.f. look at them bunches up on the escalator,he said Hun NO escalator pulls curtain back and it's just nurse station..I go back to sleep nurse comes in and he tells her what I saw..SHE says there was a black man died bout 10 min ago, THEN SHE SAID WHEN SOMEONE HAS DIED LIKE SHE DID THEY CAN SEE THINGS WE CANT..SHE SAID IVE SAW THIS BEFORE .SO AFTER THAT THINGS CHANGE AND I HAVE FEELINGS AND USUALLY DREAMS, BUT THE FEELINGS MADE ME PHYSICAL SICK. I KNEW SOMETHING BAD WOULD HAPPEN SOON...BUT I NEVER KNEW WHO IT WAS ABOUT..THIS WAS FRUSTRATING CAUSE I COULDNT TELL ANYONE. BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW WHO ITD BE..90%OF THE TIME ITD BE MY FAMILY..I THINK NOW IT WAS A WARNING TO PREPARE ME, SOMETIMES THE VERY DAY IT HAPPENED MY FEELINGS I MEAN, ID FIND OUT TERMINAL CANCER OR ACCIDENT..SAME WITH DREAMS ID DREAM, BUT COULDNT SEE WHO IT WAS AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS ID FIND OUT USUALLY IT WAS A UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT LIKE MY STEPDAUGHTER OVERDOSE IN ANOTHER STATE .IVE TOLD THE LORD IT MUST BE SO THAT I WONT BE SHOCKED..NOT TO LET ME KNOW WHO IT IS..ANYWAY YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE CRYSTAL RIVER, I SAW THAT IN A DREAM CLEAR AS CLEAR COULD BE, EVERY ROCK I COULD OF JUMPED OVER THAT STREAM TO MY DAD WHOD DIE, INTO A FIELD OF YELLOW FLOWERS AND THE MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE LOOKED LIKE THE EMERALD GREEN COLOR IN THE WIZ OF OZ MOVIE, THOSE COLORS WOW..I WAS CRYING TO GO WITH DAD BUT HE SAID...NO ILL BE BACK FOR U..NOW THIS WAS A DREAM..BUT I BELIEVE MY DAD WILL BE WAITING THERE FOR ME..I DID SEE THE CRYSTAL RIVER OR ID SAY STREAM IN MY DREAM...IT DONT MATTER WHAT OTHERS THINK..I KNOW WHAT JESUS HAS TOLD AND GIVEN ME. GOD BLESS❤
Even if Heaven would be only about clouds, songs, service, and worshipping, I would rather my eternity like this with Jesus than being in hell, burning, tortured, and no rest, forever away from God and forgotten by Him, Nope, I want to spend my eternity where Christ Jesus is ❤
When J.B. Phillips initially did his translation of the Bible it was released book by book. My Father-in-Law gave me a set before passing away. I was intensely struck by the forward to Revelation that Phillips wrote. He talked about how when he had translated the gospel of John that the Greek was grammatically correct, polished Greek. When he started to translate Revelation he was initially skeptical that it really was John who wrote it because the sentence structure was a mess, the writing had none of the polish of the gospel of John. Then he realized that here was a first century person madly scribbling down things that he was seeing that completely blew his mind - frantically trying to describe a world that was so unlike anything in his experience! Truly, that echoes with what you folks have brought out here. Thank you.
What’s amazing to me is “there is no darkness in HIM, but how HE can dwell or covered HIMSELF in (darkness) a dark cloud & speak to that darkness in us & sayLet there be Light…. GLORY be to GOD
Wow, he explained it correctly when I died, my spirit or soul went down. I was not a believer, and it was like I woke up from a dream, but I knew my body was up there and there was no hope where I was Jesus wasn’t there, so there was no hope thank the Lord. I’m still alive today to praise his name.
👍🙏🎯👑❤️🔥 I have been taken to heaven 3 times in my life. The last journey was 2016 & thats when I encountered nPapa God my Abba Fathers love, his heart beat for his people. I came back prayingv in a new tongues, bwith fire & passion for lost souls. Also a mindset change for knowing about being immortal.👍👑❤️🔥💎🦅
This is so awesome! When JB mentioned certain believers “harvested” out early I had such a revelation of God’s great wisdom, plan and purpose all along!! Certain leaders that I’ve wondered “Why Lord!”, and in His great plan nothing escapes our Almighty God, we just have to trust in Him! God is SO Awesome!!🙌🏻😭🙌🏻 Lord, make me Kingdom minded!!🙏🏻
I’m watching this video at 2am in the morning and I’m too excited to sleep. I’m gonna dream about heaven tonight! The thought that I’m gonna be just like Jesus is motivation enough for me to live a holy life. I love you Lord!
I am so excited to watch your videos! I recently came across them, and I am excited to be a Christian and learn about the Bible in a new, refreshing way! God bless you!!!
John Bevere, thanks so much for addressing these NDE's that are so numerous on TH-cam! This whole topic was screaming to be addressed by a biblical based Teacher such as yourself. Please do some more episodes! Im sure many have lots of questions that they could address to you. Have done many of your topics & read your books; especially your wilderness topics, past & more recentwhich are so in depth. Thank you for your fervent spirit towards the Lord! Always an inspiration! From NSW, Australia.
It is so uplifting to see a father & son team being so close that they can share such enternal things of God. Now I understand why we will never stop learning about our Lord Jesus Christ
I am LOVING the 2nd Peter series! I'd love for you to also label your podcasts with the section of the Bible you're speaking on as well as the topic. It would make it easier to find when doing a study of a particular book. These podcasts have been great. Thank you!
Seek and ye shall find🙌🙌 Thank you gentlemen🙏 Love this information which I am totally in line with. I want to keep growing with and in Yhe Lord🙌🙌🙌✝️✝️✝️
Great podcast thank you. Related to near the end and about the Holy Spirit. In John 14:16 it says we will have Him FOREVER! And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever
I have no idea what heaven is going to be like but i cannot put into words how excited i am to see it. I dont watch the trailers to movies i want to watch so everything in it is a surprise. I try to keep heaven the same way which makes me even more excited to go there.
Everyone is not God's children. His creation? Yes, but NOT His children until we are saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone and adopted into God's family. Paul was talking to Christians who he knew and who were already God's children by their faith.
Thanks for leaving your comment.. I was having a bad feeling about this video. The background noises made me feel manipulated. Then he started to say it is wrong to think about today. He claims Christians need to look ahead to the eternal future or whatever? He seems to be contradicting what Jesus said in Matthew 6:34 You brought up a good point too. Jesus even said he does not pray for the world, but he prays for those that are given to him. I won't be listening to this youtube channel.
John I will be in attendance in the man conference not that I care but what a testimony I will share for the glory of the lord and what all he has done. I breath because he allows me
Been watching your videos for a bit and had no idea thay you are an author...I randomly stumbled upon your book "The Awe of God" on Amazon and immediately recognized your name...can't wait for it to get here! 🙏🏼
John Bevere has been the only pastor who’s made re-dedicate my life to Christ 3 different times. These TH-cam click bait pastors don’t have nothing on a real man of God who sticks to preaching the word instead of exposing other pastors for views
Love love your excitement John!!! I feel the same and I truly hate the saying “ don’t be so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good” - that is soooo backwards- I find when I think frequently about Heaven- joy bubbles up and it challenges me to live more for Him and less for me b/c that’s quite a gift to get eternal life and I’ve never thought of God or Heaven as “boring” - Those who think such thought don’t know Him🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes that is true!! We that experienced NDE’s life is definitely changed perception after you return. You run way past the average christian, they are trying to put out little fires while you just do it fast and all at once. Good job fellas . Shalom
As a believer I find many of the NDE stories to be fabricated.. some people just want to sell books. How do you determine whose story is true and which are made up?
@@ElijahNasilasilaeehhh. Not quite Here’s an example: “Last night I died and saw Jesus. He had holes in his hands and feet”. That statement lines up with the Word right? I can make any statement “line up” with the Word but it still not be true in the sense that it truly happened to me. Therein lies the trouble & skepticism I have with many (not all) stories
Shabbath Shalom qodesh mishpacha!! All esteem to Abba YAHWEH b' YAHUSHUA ha' Mashiah!! HalleluYAH!! Amein!! Pl go to the sermons of Mark Pulley, very informative!! Love u guy's ❤
John, please extend an invite to have Pastor Philip Anthony from 2819!!! I can only imagine how the Lord would utilize the message for the lost & found!!!!! God bless!!! Regarding your question, I wonder about our family here on Earth and how will that look in Heaven. (Son, daughter, mother, Father, etc..) will I recognize them or everyone in Heaven is consider family
Thank u so much for this Bro John + Arden. Esp the biblical references re Christ's 1st vs 2nd coming. So much for "End-times-itis". How abt Eternity!! Thank u!
Praise The Lord! We prayed for Törben & TLR to realise that in Jesus's Eyes, His Body is One in Him. And He wants the grace He has given one part, to be shared and to impact other parts. People need to think that if some group of people over there are actually in Christ, connected to Him, and have His Spirit in them, then we love them. Full stop. That is His commandment. We bring the full force of love into that relationship. That's His desire. And I don't mean compromising love. I mean love as taught by The Lord, and His first set of apostles.
As an MK who grew up most of my life in Israel, your pronunciation of Tabor and Mt Hermon made me giggle 🤪 Church in America is a constant entertainment for me, with my husband kicking me for snorting/laughing every time a pastor mispronounces uncommon Hebrew nouns or when they try to pronounce a Hebrew word from the Strongs.
We should pray much for this generation; for the salvation of souls. Doen time praying and ask the Lord to open doors for you and put the right words in your mouth
Thank you both so much, eternally grateful!! I had an NDE and you recomfirmed and put it all in order ....not at the gospel of Peter yet but Lord Jesus has been renewing my mind up until this podcast so that I would see!! Hallelujah!! Glory be to God!! 🙏🙏
Please pray for my son. He is lost in a world of very bad sin. Please pray he gets saved. Please pray my daughter, her husband, and children all get saved. Please pray my husband gets saved , that he loves me, and is the spiritual leader of the home like the Lord says he is to be. Please pray for my husbands health and my health. Please pray for our finances. Please pray for God to get us out of the dangerous neighborhood we live in & that we have a safe place to live of our own. Please pray for my brother, sister, niece & nephew to get saved. Please pray my aunt abd uncle get saved and for her breast cancer to be healed. .
I don’t usually post but I’ve felt God using the message of being eternally minded…but I’ve lived a life of professing Christ yet I’m deeply aware of my own selfishness, my sin, my anger and uselessly used emotions, and how I’ve spent my thirty two years wasting so much time. I’m thirty-three years old in two weeks. I find it no coincidence Christ is knocking on my brain at that age in this time. Where do I go from here? I’ve heard much but implemented little. How do I change this?
What a blessing it is from the Lord that you are made aware. Just seek the Lord for who He is..not a list of things u do to check off. His Holy Spirit will guide u. Read the Bible to discover the character of Christ..who He is...the Spirit will move and lead u. Also Uncle John has some amazing books to help develop our walk in Christ. Also finding a Bible believing church to walk with u is great too. Ask the Lord to give u the strength to break the things that need to be broken and pick up His nature. Praying with u
Ask God to help you walk on His timeline, and ask Him what He wants you to be doing. You may have to fast and pray even for 1 day? I’m not sure, but talk to the Lord about it.
I was the same way until I read John’s Book Driven by Eternity! READ IT! You’re exactly where God wants you! keep leaning in! Don’t stop! Sanctification is a process. Get deep into the bible! Find a good church, get involved! I’m excited for you!!!
Ask for the sensitivity to notice and immediately renounce, revoke and banish any impulses, any spiritual interference/temptations toward these sins - in Jesus’ name. Expect it to be hard, sometimes evil entities just keep at it until they know you mean business. We all need to be grounded in spiritual warfare when entrenched in selfish, ungodly ways - and they can crop up and extend for years, compromising the walk/work that Abba designed for us to walk in. Expect horrible, distracting attacks, realize they are powerless when you stubbornly stay the course with Him. Praise the Lord from the midst of trials and in the comfort of good times. What you are going through is a common struggle that too often damages decades of our earthly life.
33:20, 23. No sinful man can see God's face and live. 20 And he said unto Moses, Thou canst not see my face at this time, lest mine anger be kindled against thee also, and I destroy thee, and thy people; for there shall no man among them see me at this time, and live, for they are exceeding sinful.
Ohhh my goodness.. Thank you brothers! Yes the closer we get to Jesus and His glory the more He reveals how scary DARK this world really is! Like the matrix! All true and Jesus said! Amen
As much as we talked about heaven, we still have to remember, the a thousand years where the saints will reign with Christ Jesus on this earth, after that, there will be the great white throne judgement, then there will be a new earth, and a new heaven, with new age where things are superior to anything we have known. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV
You forgot that satan will be released again, at the end of the thousand years, to deceive as many as he can, again! It gives no time frame of how long that will go on, but he and his children will be destroyed again!!!
I think they talked about the 1000 reign. It’s seems like they want to mention more about the new earth and heaven in the episode about Jesus’s second coming. Anyways, I always wondered why people at the end of the 1000 year will betray God again. It makes me so sad, because they have lived in a perfect millennium and have tasted what being with Christ forever will be like and they betray him.
@@skalias815 I have wondered that as well, but I remembered the scriptures said that satan will be released for a short time to go about deceiving nations, as a choice for those who have been born in the 1000 years, before an end is put, on evil and darkness forever. Satan will get his kingdom in the lake of fire forever, makes me sad that there will be more people going there, than those who will end up in the Kingdom of our Christ, the Lord Jesus.
Of becpming like jesus is a process ,this podcast makes me sad because i realise how far i am from being anywhere near like him . I know our jpb is to be about gods work a d i love him deeply,and believe a d know,but im not worthy of his glory,so i hope he wins be merciful, and patient.
It's so sad to hear people, including my own family members, say that they don't want to just sit and float around on clouds and play harps "forever". I try so hard to explain to them that that is not what Heaven will be, but they just don't and won't believe. I just told my daughter that there IS an "Eternal" life, but we have to CHOOSE which one we want. Eternity with God in Heaven or Eternity in Hell with Satan! Those are our choices...there are NO OTHERS, but God will not MAKE US come to him, because he gave all us FREE WILL TO CHOOSE.
I’m so glad you’re speaking on end times and eternal living. Not many pastors are doing this and I’ve been studying eschatology for about a year and am so excited about eternal life happening and it happening SOON!! Also loved you mentioning 6 days = God’s 6000 year plan + millennial reign as I’ve studied this recently as well lol 🥰 bravo John! Keep these podcasts coming.
Even Paul was not allowed to speak of what he saw when he was taken to the 3rd heaven. I’m very skeptical of anyone who professes that they’ve been taken to heaven and seen things.
It is definitely understandable to be sceptical and we have to discern visions, outer body experiences and prophecies. Because there are many false testimonies out there. However what do you think of the scripture 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know-God knows. 3 And I know that this man-whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows- 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.” It’s not about Paul going to the 3rd heaven but it is an unknown man that went there. So the possibility of it happening seems possible.
@@southerngirl1408 yeah it seems like most people seem to believe that which confuses me because the next verse Paul said he would not boast about himself but he would about this man. So I wouldn’t understand that verse if he was talking about himself.
I am disturbed by Christians that claim to have “out of body experiences”. Where are these experiences recorded in scripture with the exception of a couple of the apostles?
2 Corinthians 12:2 “ I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.” Ezekiel 8:3 “And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.” Read books in the Bible that involve the prophets. You’ll mainly see it with them. God is sovereign and he can do as he pleases with his children. NDEs aren’t the only out of body experiences. When I first started worshiping God and pursuing him he gave me an out of body experience and revealed truth to me about the future. He also gives me visions, and prophetic dreams. If you choose not to receive from God, he won’t force it on you. Spiritual gifts from God are real.
Hey, I totally get your confusion. I used to love watching out of body testimonies but the more I watched the more skeptical I became because not all of them were the same and even non-Christians said they went to heaven. So I was personally very confused and I even doubted if all these testimonies were even true. So anyways, I still believe it’s possible and I will show you a scripture about something similar to it. The scripture is 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven-whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise-whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows- and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.” So the Man that Paul talks about here is unknown but apparently he was caught up in Paradise. So even though there is a possibility that outer body visions or seeing heaven can happen, we have to test these things just like we test prophecies. We know there are false prophecies out there, so in the same way there are also false outer body experiences as well. Even if we believe in this experiences, they can never be above to word of God. These experiences should encourage us but if these experiences don’t line up with what the Bible said, it’s better to discard it. So we should always discern visions, out of body experiences, prophecies etc. I hope this answers your question, also if something confuses you, you don’t have to be involved. If outer body experiences just causes you to be disturbed you don’t have to be involved in it and you can just look forward to heaven by what the Bible describes it to be.
@@skalias815 I believe Paul was speaking of himself in the third person. He was caught up in what is described as an out of body experience. So, again this is a self described account by an apostle who was also afflicted with a thorn in his flesh (v.7). The Word will never contradict -see John 1:18 “no man has seen God at anytime “
@@iancraig3020 I don’t see how he can talk about it in third person when the verse after says that he would not boast about himself but would about this Man. Wouldn’t that be a contradiction if he was still talking about himself? Here is the verse I mean: “I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses.” 2 Corinthians 12:5 Him saying I will boast about a man like that but will not boast about myself, Paul is clearly separating himself from this man. So I don’t think it is a third person account.
Living for this moment this day is a tool used in recovery circles use to get through the drug addiction or alcohol withdrawal. Itdoent mean you don’t have goals or plans but ask the Lord first is it honest unselfish and with love. Again in recovery circles know it’s spiritual wellness first not material wellness first. Who are the people you are describing in your video? Unbelievers ?
I'm not sure why so many Christians quote Isaiah 11 as the lamb will lay with the lion. I've heard and believed it over 25 yrs till it was brought to my attention there's nowhere in scripture that declares it that way. Now the message isn't lost with this error and the point is still on par. But I would hope that long time ministers would make sure when publicly quoting the word that they have it double checked & confirmed. It could take all the truth they shared and cause some doubt from those of us students. It actually says this. ... Is 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid. ITS NOT A LION BUT A WOLF. ive tried to find it myself but to no avail. I was convinced it said the lion from hearing it quoted by so many for so long. It just goes to show when we're trained up and taught by others and hear something said by multiple ppl, we too become influenced and start believing we actually read it for ourselves. We can even find very old art depictions of a lion and lamb so the quote goes back.
And your comment is WHY my whole foundation had to be ripped out and started over. In MY ignorance, I believed everything a pastor said. I figured, he's the pastor, he SHOULD know all things. God had to separate me and I was horrified when the TRUTH was shown to me in all areas. Filled with gratitude that my foundation is now the ROCK. We are accountable for ALL that we hear, embrace and accept as Truth. Shalom.
@@faithbringshope wait I’m not understanding your argument. You did not put the whole verse of Isaiah 11:6 “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.” Lion is still included in Isaiah 11:6, so I’m not understanding the confusion. Also the child is leading these animals. Honestly it seems like the confusion here is just what translation people are reading because there a slight differences.
My biggest concern is the following: the word states that satan can appear as an angel of light, are these people not being misled? God warns of being deceived and the angel who fought 21 days with the dark ruler before being able to bring the message from Father Yah.
Amen, amen, amen! Creation in 6 + 1 days… a day is like a thousand years… 6000 + 1000! We’re just a few years away from Christ’s second return - on the Feast of Trumpets! Give up all the meaningless distractions of this world and take the gospel to the nations! ✝️
My little mind can't comprehend heaven and it scares the daylights out of me, it seems so unreal that it can't be real. This is truly a concern of mine
Also remember that God will create a new heavens and a new earth, too! We won’t be floating on clouds; it will be like a glorious earth with no sin or suffering! Peace to you.
What are your biggest unanswered questions about the afterlife/eternity?
Do we go straight to heaven or into a sleeping state until Jesus comes?
Not every Christian is going to have the same life in heaven? Isn't that works based if in heaven one christian has a mansion while another has a shack? I don't understand how that works?
@@Katherine-gq9fm It's true! Our salvation isn't works based but how we live in the afterlife is. John goes through all the scripture and explains it all in an earlier podcast called, "You've been lied to about Heaven." That video sheds a lot of light on it.
I know the bible says how we are gonna be like angels and not marry. So my question is what will our relationships with our wife's, brothers, and sisters be like?
When we die do we go straight to heaven or hell or is there a temporary place untin the great judgement day ?

Pastor John Bevere, when I was stationed in Hawaii with the Marine Corps about 5 years ago, I got to hear you speak in person at Inspire Church.

I also live in Jacksonville Nc. Although I do not attend ROL. I am praying for you. Continue to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might. Shalom.
Semper Fi!
If you would, please pray for my son Silas, who is an active duty Marine right now, but who is not saved. He was raised in church and with Scripture but has stepped away from his faith in the last two years. Please pray that he returns to the Lord! Thank you!

The colors in Heaven are so Rich! The Crystal River soooooooo clear, filled with shiny golden nuggets on the bottom and Light Fish swimming around in it!!! 🐠🐠🐠
I saw it in visions Jesus gave me! Hope this gives someone HOPE, cuz it’s TRUE, Amen! 🙌
The lord took me to heaven yrs ago and showed me my twin daughters who past away before birth. They looked to be 7 yrs old and were playing in the crystal clear slow moving River you're describing. The Glory of the lord lite up the sky and glistened off the water. The green grass was so lush and beautiful unlike anything I had ever seen. Off in the distance I saw the kingdom of God in golden domes that no man could have built.

I died in 98, saw my dad. I lost all my blood while in hospital surgery gone wrong nicked artery that burst later. After life support and waking up I remember after they put me to sleep, me thinking I'd never wake up again cause it took 2 bags of blood just to keep me alive to o.r. .I lost all my blood I was born with and died on table, got pneumonia and a embolism, Dr said NO BUT JESUS SAID DIFFERENT THATwas 26 yrs ago. So after I'm off life support I see a escalator with about 6 ppl all black and one white man all grouped close on that escalator ..so I tell my b.f. look at them bunches up on the escalator,he said Hun NO escalator pulls curtain back and it's just nurse station..I go back to sleep nurse comes in and he tells her what I saw..SHE says there was a black man died bout 10 min ago, THEN SHE SAID WHEN SOMEONE HAS DIED LIKE SHE DID THEY CAN SEE THINGS WE CANT..SHE SAID IVE SAW THIS BEFORE .SO AFTER THAT THINGS CHANGE AND I HAVE FEELINGS AND USUALLY DREAMS, BUT THE FEELINGS MADE ME PHYSICAL SICK. I KNEW SOMETHING BAD WOULD HAPPEN SOON...BUT I NEVER KNEW WHO IT WAS ABOUT..THIS WAS FRUSTRATING CAUSE I COULDNT TELL ANYONE. BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW WHO ITD BE..90%OF THE TIME ITD BE MY FAMILY..I THINK NOW IT WAS A WARNING TO PREPARE ME, SOMETIMES THE VERY DAY IT HAPPENED MY FEELINGS I MEAN, ID FIND OUT TERMINAL CANCER OR ACCIDENT..SAME WITH DREAMS ID DREAM, BUT COULDNT SEE WHO IT WAS AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS ID FIND OUT USUALLY IT WAS A UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT LIKE MY STEPDAUGHTER OVERDOSE IN ANOTHER STATE .IVE TOLD THE LORD IT MUST BE SO THAT I WONT BE SHOCKED..NOT TO LET ME KNOW WHO IT IS..ANYWAY YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE CRYSTAL RIVER, I SAW THAT IN A DREAM CLEAR AS CLEAR COULD BE, EVERY ROCK I COULD OF JUMPED OVER THAT STREAM TO MY DAD WHOD DIE, INTO A FIELD OF YELLOW FLOWERS AND THE MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE LOOKED LIKE THE EMERALD GREEN COLOR IN THE WIZ OF OZ MOVIE, THOSE COLORS WOW..I WAS CRYING TO GO WITH DAD BUT HE SAID...NO ILL BE BACK FOR U..NOW THIS WAS A DREAM..BUT I BELIEVE MY DAD WILL BE WAITING THERE FOR ME..I DID SEE THE CRYSTAL RIVER OR ID SAY STREAM IN MY DREAM...IT DONT MATTER WHAT OTHERS THINK..I KNOW WHAT JESUS HAS TOLD AND GIVEN ME. GOD BLESS❤
Please pray for my son. So he can break free from the lies he’s being told. He’s 23.
Will do
🙏❤🙏
Praying, sister! 🙏🏽
🙏🏼
Even if Heaven would be only about clouds, songs, service, and worshipping, I would rather my eternity like this with Jesus than being in hell, burning, tortured, and no rest, forever away from God and forgotten by Him, Nope, I want to spend my eternity where Christ Jesus is ❤
It’s not about being in heaven or hell; it’s about knowing Jesus. Eternal life is defined as knowing Jesus
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
It’ll be so much more than that! 💛 Although, I’d be okay with just worshipping forever and ever 😂🤪. I love worshipping our God!
My daughter loved God...
She accepted Christ and she is with him now that she passed away, that gives me comfort.
When J.B. Phillips initially did his translation of the Bible it was released book by book. My Father-in-Law gave me a set before passing away.
I was intensely struck by the forward to Revelation that Phillips wrote.
He talked about how when he had translated the gospel of John that the Greek was grammatically correct, polished Greek.
When he started to translate Revelation he was initially skeptical that it really was John who wrote it because the sentence structure was a mess, the writing had none of the polish of the gospel of John.
Then he realized that here was a first century person madly scribbling down things that he was seeing that completely blew his mind - frantically trying to describe a world that was so unlike anything in his experience!
Truly, that echoes with what you folks have brought out here.
Thank you.
What’s amazing to me is “there is no darkness in HIM, but how HE can dwell or covered HIMSELF in (darkness) a dark cloud & speak to that darkness in us & sayLet there be Light…. GLORY be to GOD
Wow, he explained it correctly when I died, my spirit or soul went down. I was not a believer, and it was like I woke up from a dream, but I knew my body was up there and there was no hope where I was Jesus wasn’t there, so there was no hope thank the Lord. I’m still alive today to praise his name.
👍🙏🎯👑❤️🔥 I have been taken to heaven 3 times in my life. The last journey was 2016 & thats when I encountered nPapa God my Abba Fathers love, his heart beat for his people. I came back prayingv in a new tongues, bwith fire & passion for lost souls. Also a mindset change for knowing about being immortal.👍👑❤️🔥💎🦅
This is so awesome! When JB mentioned certain believers “harvested” out early I had such a revelation of God’s great wisdom, plan and purpose all along!! Certain leaders that I’ve wondered “Why Lord!”, and in His great plan nothing escapes our Almighty God, we just have to trust in Him! God is SO Awesome!!🙌🏻😭🙌🏻 Lord, make me Kingdom minded!!🙏🏻
I wish there was a love button! So exciting to see what it is to come. Thanks John and Arden for you insight.
I’m watching this video at 2am in the morning and I’m too excited to sleep. I’m gonna dream about heaven tonight!
The thought that I’m gonna be just like Jesus is motivation enough for me to live a holy life. I love you Lord!
I am so excited to watch your videos! I recently came across them, and I am excited to be a Christian and learn about the Bible in a new, refreshing way! God bless you!!!
I'm loving your boy like enthusiasm, your Godly revelation and you and your sons beautiful relationship.
John Bevere, thanks so much for addressing these NDE's that are so numerous on TH-cam! This whole topic was screaming to be addressed by a biblical based Teacher such as yourself. Please do some more episodes! Im sure many have lots of questions that they could address to you.
Have done many of your topics & read your books; especially your wilderness topics, past & more recentwhich are so in depth. Thank you for your fervent spirit towards the Lord! Always an inspiration! From NSW, Australia.
It is so uplifting to see a father & son team being so close that they can share such enternal things of God. Now I understand why we will never stop learning about our Lord Jesus Christ
I am LOVING the 2nd Peter series! I'd love for you to also label your podcasts with the section of the Bible you're speaking on as well as the topic. It would make it easier to find when doing a study of a particular book. These podcasts have been great. Thank you!
The fact that nobody talks about the book whispers of manifestation on borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
I don't get what you are saying
Scaaaaam
Seek and ye shall find🙌🙌 Thank you gentlemen🙏 Love this information which I am totally in line with. I want to keep growing with and in Yhe Lord🙌🙌🙌✝️✝️✝️
Great podcast thank you. Related to near the end and about the Holy Spirit. In John 14:16 it says we will have Him FOREVER!
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever
I think about the everlasting life with Jesus - every moment of every day! And it gives med peace in the middle of this unstable world.
I have no idea what heaven is going to be like but i cannot put into words how excited i am to see it. I dont watch the trailers to movies i want to watch so everything in it is a surprise. I try to keep heaven the same way which makes me even more excited to go there.
Everyone is not God's children. His creation? Yes, but NOT His children until we are saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone and adopted into God's family.
Paul was talking to Christians who he knew and who were already God's children by their faith.
Thanks for leaving your comment.. I was having a bad feeling about this video. The background noises made me feel manipulated. Then he started to say it is wrong to think about today. He claims Christians need to look ahead to the eternal future or whatever? He seems to be contradicting what Jesus said in Matthew 6:34
You brought up a good point too. Jesus even said he does not pray for the world, but he prays for those that are given to him. I won't be listening to this youtube channel.
Matt6:34is not worrying about tomorrow. And John is talking about eternal life. It is not contradictory
He almost sounded a bit too close to Mormon theology in this video, speculating too much about reigning over hybrid creatures, etc
my most favourite title Jesus is given is "Firstborn of the dead", what a wonderful thing. just incredible
I always felt like life was a dream...and also always thought outerspace looked so unfinished! Hearing this conversation stirred something...
Amen! We are partakers of His divine nature!!
John I will be in attendance in the man conference not that I care but what a testimony I will share for the glory of the lord and what all he has done. I breath because he allows me
Been watching your videos for a bit and had no idea thay you are an author...I randomly stumbled upon your book "The Awe of God" on Amazon and immediately recognized your name...can't wait for it to get here! 🙏🏼
Wow! I almost ignored this episode but I'm so thankful that I didn't! That's the best news ever!
Love how you all break the word down . Thank you.
I love these teachings. You guys are awesome, thanks for sharing!
I love how excited he gets John gets! Like you can just see him looking to Jesus in his spirt eyes
Praise the lord Man of God
I am really waiting for your next sessions
Love you and your Family. I really enjoy you guys talking and explaining scripture.
John Bevere has been the only pastor who’s made re-dedicate my life to Christ 3 different times. These TH-cam click bait pastors don’t have nothing on a real man of God who sticks to preaching the word instead of exposing other pastors for views
Thanks so much awesome questions. I can feel the fire burn inside my bones and the excitement that I feel.Thank you again
This was eye opening this really helped me thank you and praise God
It's the lamb and the wolf that will lie down together
This blessed me!!
Love love your excitement John!!! I feel the same and I truly hate the saying “ don’t be so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good” - that is soooo backwards- I find when I think frequently about Heaven- joy bubbles up and it challenges me to live more for Him and less for me b/c that’s quite a gift to get eternal life and I’ve never thought of God or Heaven as “boring” -
Those who think such thought don’t know Him🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes that is true!! We that experienced NDE’s life is definitely changed perception after you return. You run way past the average christian, they are trying to put out little fires while you just do it fast and all at once. Good job fellas . Shalom
As a believer I find many of the NDE stories to be fabricated.. some people just want to sell books. How do you determine whose story is true and which are made up?
@@Unsilentmajority-1if it lines up with the word and that’s where your discernment should too.
@@ElijahNasilasilaeehhh. Not quite Here’s an example: “Last night I died and saw Jesus. He had holes in his hands and feet”. That statement lines up with the Word right? I can make any statement “line up” with the Word but it still not be true in the sense that it truly happened to me. Therein lies the trouble & skepticism I have with many (not all) stories
@@Unsilentmajority-1if you’re a believer the Holy Spririt will tell you. You have the gift of discernment to guide you.
@@JessDP1225 correct and my discernment tells me 98% of the claims are false. Just like the supposed “Trump Prophecies” of 2020. All false
Amen God bless
Shabbath Shalom qodesh mishpacha!! All esteem to Abba YAHWEH b' YAHUSHUA ha' Mashiah!! HalleluYAH!! Amein!! Pl go to the sermons of Mark Pulley, very informative!! Love u guy's ❤
So good, amen 🙏🏽
Powerful and inspirational message thank you. 🙏
amuse-bouche
I have had that and never knew what it was called, either!
This was an amazing amazing amazing podcast! ❤
This was so eye opening. I never knew this information.
John, please extend an invite to have Pastor Philip Anthony from 2819!!! I can only imagine how the Lord would utilize the message for the lost & found!!!!! God bless!!!
Regarding your question, I wonder about our family here on Earth and how will that look in Heaven. (Son, daughter, mother, Father, etc..) will I recognize them or everyone in Heaven is consider family
Amen... what a revelation! ❤
AWESOME 🎉 thanks guys ❤ Praise the LORD 🙌
May God immeasurably bless you, John Bevere, for your relentless pursuit of God‘s will❤️🕊️🌹
Excellent! 🎉
thankyou♥️🙏🏻
Thank u so much for this Bro John + Arden. Esp the biblical references re Christ's 1st vs 2nd coming. So much for "End-times-itis". How abt Eternity!! Thank u!
Amen John. Those NDE ‘ s are eye opening
I just love this... It is so true that he reveals how much we don't more but creates this desire to want to know more
Wow! Mind blown 😮 What else has HE created?
This is very good and true
Praise The Lord! We prayed for Törben & TLR to realise that in Jesus's Eyes, His Body is One in Him. And He wants the grace He has given one part, to be shared and to impact other parts. People need to think that if some group of people over there are actually in Christ, connected to Him, and have His Spirit in them, then we love them. Full stop. That is His commandment. We bring the full force of love into that relationship. That's His desire. And I don't mean compromising love. I mean love as taught by The Lord, and His first set of apostles.
As an MK who grew up most of my life in Israel, your pronunciation of Tabor and Mt Hermon made me giggle 🤪
Church in America is a constant entertainment for me, with my husband kicking me for snorting/laughing every time a pastor mispronounces uncommon Hebrew nouns or when they try to pronounce a Hebrew word from the Strongs.
Much love from Brazil!
Good video , yes He is coming soon
Love these podcasts
Pastors don’t preach Heaven and Hell anymore for a long time, they don’t want to offend people
Truth hurts but is a disservice to those who need salvation
I know everyone goes to HEAVEN when they die people think but not so most people will enter hell.
We should pray much for this generation; for the salvation of souls. Doen time praying and ask the Lord to open doors for you and put the right words in your mouth
I respect you so very much. Love your heart.
Thank you both so much, eternally grateful!! I had an NDE and you recomfirmed and put it all in order ....not at the gospel of Peter yet but Lord Jesus has been renewing my mind up until this podcast so that I would see!! Hallelujah!! Glory be to God!! 🙏🙏
Amen 🍃
Awsome💥⭐️💫🌟
Please pray for my son. He is lost in a world of very bad sin. Please pray he gets saved.
Please pray my daughter, her husband, and children all get saved.
Please pray my husband gets saved , that he loves me, and is the spiritual leader of the home like the Lord says he is to be. Please pray for my husbands health and my health. Please pray for our finances. Please pray for God to get us out of the dangerous neighborhood we live in & that we have a safe place to live of our own.
Please pray for my brother, sister, niece & nephew to get saved.
Please pray my aunt abd uncle get saved and for her breast cancer to be healed.

I don’t usually post but I’ve felt God using the message of being eternally minded…but I’ve lived a life of professing Christ yet I’m deeply aware of my own selfishness, my sin, my anger and uselessly used emotions, and how I’ve spent my thirty two years wasting so much time. I’m thirty-three years old in two weeks. I find it no coincidence Christ is knocking on my brain at that age in this time. Where do I go from here? I’ve heard much but implemented little. How do I change this?
I feel you
What a blessing it is from the Lord that you are made aware. Just seek the Lord for who He is..not a list of things u do to check off. His Holy Spirit will guide u. Read the Bible to discover the character of Christ..who He is...the Spirit will move and lead u. Also Uncle John has some amazing books to help develop our walk in Christ. Also finding a Bible believing church to walk with u is great too. Ask the Lord to give u the strength to break the things that need to be broken and pick up His nature. Praying with u
Ask God to help you walk on His timeline, and ask Him what He wants you to be doing. You may have to fast and pray even for 1 day? I’m not sure, but talk to the Lord about it.
I was the same way until I read John’s Book Driven by Eternity! READ IT! You’re exactly where God wants you! keep leaning in! Don’t stop! Sanctification is a process. Get deep into the bible! Find a good church, get involved! I’m
excited for you!!!
Ask for the sensitivity to notice and immediately renounce, revoke and banish any impulses, any spiritual interference/temptations toward these sins - in Jesus’ name. Expect it to be hard, sometimes evil entities just keep at it until they know you mean business. We all need to be grounded in spiritual warfare when entrenched in selfish, ungodly ways - and they can crop up and extend for years, compromising the walk/work that Abba designed for us to walk in. Expect horrible, distracting attacks, realize they are powerless when you stubbornly stay the course with Him. Praise the Lord from the midst of trials and in the comfort of good times. What you are going through is a common struggle that too often damages decades of our earthly life.
33:20, 23. No sinful man can see God's face and live. 20 And he said unto Moses, Thou canst not see my face at this time, lest mine anger be kindled against thee also, and I destroy thee, and thy people; for there shall no man among them see me at this time, and live, for they are exceeding sinful.
I'm so tired of being short-sighted 😢....
I feel like the older I get the less I remember, hence the short-sightness. How do I overcome this?
I'm the same way. I can't seem to remember "verses", or where exactly I read that. But I can tell you WHAT I read. Makes me so frustrated at times.
So good
Ohhh my goodness.. Thank you brothers! Yes the closer we get to Jesus and His glory the more He reveals how scary DARK this world really is! Like the matrix! All true and Jesus said! Amen
Hi John. I enjoy watching your podcast. I have a question about baptism. Is baptism needed to be born again?
As much as we talked about heaven, we still have to remember, the a thousand years where the saints will reign with Christ Jesus on this earth, after that, there will be the great white throne judgement, then there will be a new earth, and a new heaven, with new age where things are superior to anything we have known. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV
You forgot that satan will be released again, at the end of the thousand years, to deceive as many as he can, again! It gives no time frame of how long that will go on, but he and his children will be destroyed again!!!
I think they talked about the 1000 reign. It’s seems like they want to mention more about the new earth and heaven in the episode about Jesus’s second coming.
Anyways, I always wondered why people at the end of the 1000 year will betray God again. It makes me so sad, because they have lived in a perfect millennium and have tasted what being with Christ forever will be like and they betray him.
@@skalias815 I have wondered that as well, but I remembered the scriptures said that satan will be released for a short time to go about deceiving nations, as a choice for those who have been born in the 1000 years, before an end is put, on evil and darkness forever. Satan will get his kingdom in the lake of fire forever, makes me sad that there will be more people going there, than those who will end up in the Kingdom of our Christ, the Lord Jesus.
Love your stuff. I wish I could get my wife to study with me. She studies solo.
I've wept the whole way through this pod cast. I so long to be in his presence for ever... 😊
Of becpming like jesus is a process ,this podcast makes me sad because i realise how far i am from being anywhere near like him . I know our jpb is to be about gods work a d i love him deeply,and believe a d know,but im not worthy of his glory,so i hope he wins be merciful, and patient.
That's why all the glory to Jesus. He made us worthy of the glory of God through his sacrifice of himself on the cross .
Thank you Jesus ❤
It's so sad to hear people, including my own family members, say that they don't want to just sit and float around on clouds and play harps "forever". I try so hard to explain to them that that is not what Heaven will be, but they just don't and won't believe.
I just told my daughter that there IS an "Eternal" life, but we have to CHOOSE which one we want. Eternity with God in Heaven or Eternity in Hell with Satan! Those are our choices...there are NO OTHERS, but God will not MAKE US come to him, because he gave all us FREE WILL TO CHOOSE.
I’m so glad you’re speaking on end times and eternal living. Not many pastors are doing this and I’ve been studying eschatology for about a year and am so excited about eternal life happening and it happening SOON!! Also loved you mentioning 6 days = God’s 6000 year plan + millennial reign as I’ve studied this recently as well lol 🥰 bravo John! Keep these podcasts coming.
I am devoted to Christ- love the bible, believe in NDE’s and reincarnation and can not find any church where I fit in. 😂❤️🇨🇦
The Holy Bible recants reincarnation since it states it’s appointed once for a man (or woman) to die- ONCE! Not over and over again!
JESUS himealf the Holy Spirit will be with us forever its our wedding gift
I think the matrixs main point though its very lowkey pushes the same lie the serpent told Eve in the garden.
Even Paul was not allowed to speak of what he saw when he was taken to the 3rd heaven. I’m very skeptical of anyone who professes that they’ve been taken to heaven and seen things.
Paul didn’t need to sell books and dvd specials on Sid Roth’s show
Apostle John did, though.
It is definitely understandable to be sceptical and we have to discern visions, outer body experiences and prophecies. Because there are many false testimonies out there.
However what do you think of the scripture 2 Corinthians 12:2-4
“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know-God knows. 3 And I know that this man-whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows- 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.”
It’s not about Paul going to the 3rd heaven but it is an unknown man that went there. So the possibility of it happening seems possible.
@@skalias815 Most people I know believe Paul was talking about himself, but I don’t think any of us can be 100% certain
@@southerngirl1408 yeah it seems like most people seem to believe that which confuses me because the next verse Paul said he would not boast about himself but he would about this man. So I wouldn’t understand that verse if he was talking about himself.
I understand so exciting ❤😂🎉
This world is like a dream 😍😎💓
Great father-son podcast. Informative.. thank you. Glory to God.
I am disturbed by Christians that claim to have “out of body experiences”. Where are these experiences recorded in scripture with the exception of a couple of the apostles?
From such stay away. Especially when they teach that Santa Claus is in heaven.
2 Corinthians 12:2 “
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.”
Ezekiel 8:3 “And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.”
Read books in the Bible that involve the prophets. You’ll mainly see it with them. God is sovereign and he can do as he pleases with his children. NDEs aren’t the only out of body experiences. When I first started worshiping God and pursuing him he gave me an out of body experience and revealed truth to me about the future. He also gives me visions, and prophetic dreams. If you choose not to receive from God, he won’t force it on you. Spiritual gifts from God are real.
Hey, I totally get your confusion. I used to love watching out of body testimonies but the more I watched the more skeptical I became because not all of them were the same and even non-Christians said they went to heaven. So I was personally very confused and I even doubted if all these testimonies were even true.
So anyways, I still believe it’s possible and I will show you a scripture about something similar to it. The scripture is 2 Corinthians 12:2-4
“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven-whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise-whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows- and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.”
So the Man that Paul talks about here is unknown but apparently he was caught up in Paradise.
So even though there is a possibility that outer body visions or seeing heaven can happen, we have to test these things just like we test prophecies. We know there are false prophecies out there, so in the same way there are also false outer body experiences as well. Even if we believe in this experiences, they can never be above to word of God. These experiences should encourage us but if these experiences don’t line up with what the Bible said, it’s better to discard it. So we should always discern visions, out of body experiences, prophecies etc.
I hope this answers your question, also if something confuses you, you don’t have to be involved. If outer body experiences just causes you to be disturbed you don’t have to be involved in it and you can just look forward to heaven by what the Bible describes it to be.
@@skalias815 I believe Paul was speaking of himself in the third person. He was caught up in what is described as an out of body experience. So, again this is a self described account by an apostle who was also afflicted with a thorn in his flesh (v.7). The Word will never contradict -see John 1:18 “no man has seen God at anytime “
@@iancraig3020 I don’t see how he can talk about it in third person when the verse after says that he would not boast about himself but would about this Man. Wouldn’t that be a contradiction if he was still talking about himself?
Here is the verse I mean:
“I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses.” 2 Corinthians 12:5
Him saying I will boast about a man like that but will not boast about myself, Paul is clearly separating himself from this man. So I don’t think it is a third person account.
Living for this moment this day is a tool used in recovery circles use to get through the drug addiction or alcohol withdrawal. Itdoent mean you don’t have goals or plans but ask the Lord first is it honest unselfish and with love. Again in recovery circles know it’s spiritual wellness first not material wellness first. Who are the people you are describing in your video? Unbelievers ?
When will be the next podcast Man of god
I'm not sure why so many Christians quote Isaiah 11 as the lamb will lay with the lion. I've heard and believed it over 25 yrs till it was brought to my attention there's nowhere in scripture that declares it that way. Now the message isn't lost with this error and the point is still on par. But I would hope that long time ministers would make sure when publicly quoting the word that they have it double checked & confirmed. It could take all the truth they shared and cause some doubt from those of us students.
It actually says this. ...
Is 11:6
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid.
ITS NOT A LION BUT A WOLF. ive tried to find it myself but to no avail. I was convinced it said the lion from hearing it quoted by so many for so long.
It just goes to show when we're trained up and taught by others and hear something said by multiple ppl, we too become influenced and start believing we actually read it for ourselves.
We can even find very old art depictions of a lion and lamb so the quote goes back.
And your comment is WHY my whole foundation had to be ripped out and started over. In MY ignorance, I believed everything a pastor said. I figured, he's the pastor, he SHOULD know all things. God had to separate me and I was horrified when the TRUTH was shown to me in all areas. Filled with gratitude that my foundation is now the ROCK. We are accountable for ALL that we hear, embrace and accept as Truth. Shalom.
@@faithbringshope wait I’m not understanding your argument. You did not put the whole verse of Isaiah 11:6
“The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling together;
and a little child will lead them.”
Lion is still included in Isaiah 11:6, so I’m not understanding the confusion. Also the child is leading these animals. Honestly it seems like the confusion here is just what translation people are reading because there a slight differences.
My biggest concern is the following: the word states that satan can appear as an angel of light, are these people not being misled? God warns of being deceived and the angel who fought 21 days with the dark ruler before being able to bring the message from Father Yah.
Amen, amen, amen! Creation in 6 + 1 days… a day is like a thousand years… 6000 + 1000! We’re just a few years away from Christ’s second return - on the Feast of Trumpets! Give up all the meaningless distractions of this world and take the gospel to the nations! ✝️
This is cool
My little mind can't comprehend heaven and it scares the daylights out of me, it seems so unreal that it can't be real. This is truly a concern of mine
Ask god to reveal it to me
You*
When I was an enemy of God, He revealed to me, I truly believe if you ask He will show you! I used the psalm 91, fast and prayed.
Also remember that God will create a new heavens and a new earth, too! We won’t be floating on clouds; it will be like a glorious earth with no sin or suffering! Peace to you.
@@ilkabeginner7955 thank you
