0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.

0:49 Speaker 2: Hey, guys, hope you're doing well. I just wanted to quickly drop by and share something with you based on something that I experienced recently, just for the record of those of you do not know. You know, I was down with severe zing and you know a lot of things that have been happening in my life in recent times, and one of the things I wanted to understand is one of the times when I was down with very severe bezing because of the you know, the z and the cough and the pain was tremendous and all of that.

1:20 Speaker 2: One of the nights. What happened was I suddenly saw myself going out of my body. Okay, now, mind you, some of you may or may not believe in this, but this is up to you. Whether you want to believe in it or not, it's up to you. But I want to share what happened. I want to be clear and honest about what happened so that you can make the decision whether you want to believe it or not in it or not. But there's a very important message or a reason why I want to talk about this. So I saw myself going out of my body, and I can see my body down on the bed and I'm going going, And immediately I'm reminded of the fact that, you know, I interviewed pastor John Burke, New York, thanks best selling author who's been on really big shows like The Chandra and Show, Megan Kelly Show and uh It's Supernatural with sid Rot and all of that.

2:10 Speaker 2: You can check out this interview on my YouTube channel and the podcast as well. So I was immediately reminded of indes. He is known for the subject of near the experiences where people have actually died seeing heaven or hell and come back and so I had exposure to this. So the minute I saw myself go up and I could see my body down, I was immediately you know, reminded of that, you know what I mean, like, because that's exactly what happens here. When a person dies, the first thing they say is they see them their body beneath them, and they're going up.

2:44 Speaker 2: Whether if they're inside the house, they're going towards the ceiling. That's exactly what happened. I saw myself going up towards the ceiling. And I want you to understand that this was not a dream or a vision or just hallucination, because this was this was not just imagination. This was very real. You know, it was very much how people who have actually experienced near the experiences share. Right that you know, the life after or once you leave the body is more real than you can imagine. We think that our life is real, but that I want you to understand.

3:19 Speaker 2: The scripture is very clear, right, what you see is temporary. What you see is just you know, it's not as real as what is unseen. The other side of things is so real. And I could see that, and I'm just going and I could immediately correlate because I had this exposure or idea or knowledge about near that experiences. And as I'm going, I heard a voice saying, your time has income go back to your body, and boom, I saw myself go into my body and here I am. Now. I don't have any certificate or anything to prove whether I actually died at that point or it was just an encounter, whatever it is.

3:56 Speaker 2: You know, one thing I know for a fact is when God said your time and come go back, which means that, you know what, I'm still here for a plan and the purpose by God, and I'm here to fulfill his plan and this purpose, and I'm going to continue to do that in the midst of all the pain and the trouble that I'm going through. Okay, so in your life as well, I want to share that you know what till your time to go, you know, is ordained by God. You know, you know it's you are not going to go. You're going to be here till you fulfill God's purpose.

4:26 Speaker 2: I want you to say yes to God's purpose over your life. And here's the thing I wanted to understand. You know. The other thing I want to talk about is that whether you believe in this encounter or this experience. Whether you want to acknowledge that this was an end or not that that's up to you your decision, but I want you to get the message here. My message is very clear that life of the death is real. Okay, I'm seeing in a literal say, and I can say I've seen, you know, life beyond the body. Like I said, I could see my body down and I was up.

4:58 Speaker 2: I could see life beyond the body. And I can tell you life beyond the body is real. Life beyond the body is real. You know, spiritual forces are real. You know the demonic forces are real. I've shared this many times, how I've had actual spiritual warfare where demons have come in the physical realm and attack me. There have been moments when there were scratch marks on my body for days together when I had these attacks. And there were times when I would be attacked in one place. And there was a moment when I was attacked at one thirty in the night when I was studying in the university, in a residential university, and my mom was woken up in the spirit at that same moment to pray for me, saying, you know your son is being attacked by demons.

5:40 Speaker 2: Pray for him. So I can tell you these things are very real. Guys, don't underestimate the reality of the spiritual realm. Never understimate that. There was a moment when I was being attacked by demons and I had scratch marks on my body. This happened at around two thirty in the night one time, and a pastor in the U the United States, exactly at that point sent me a message saying I saw a vision of you being attacked by demons by said Dance and John. He sent this. You know, I can tell you. If I just shared that I was attacked by demons, you could say or maybe you were hallucinating, Maybe it was just sleep paralysis, Maybe it was just your you know, intuition, just your belief system.

6:23 Speaker 2: But when you have other people substantiate what you're saying, you know that this is real. These are verified, These are actual truths that the spirit realm is real. Never understimate and life of the death is real. Like I said, I could you know. One of the reasons why I believe this was not just an encounter, but this was an actual reason is because why would God tell me go back to your body. Your time has income if IF because I've had encounters where God took me in the spirit to show me glimpses of hell.

6:56 Speaker 2: God took me in the spirit into the White House to pray over President Trump. I've had encounters like that that were wild, especially when I had that encounter to pray over President Trump. Another prophet is profet is Shoutika Priscilla, with whom again I've done a collaboration and we have done a series on visions. You can check it out. She had the same encounter. I didn't even know her back then. She's also based out of Bangalore in India, and she had the same encounter where God took her in the spirit into the White House to prayer what President Trump lay her hand on his right shoulder word toward the same encounter which I had.

7:32 Speaker 2: And she was in Bangalore. I'm in Bangalore, so many thousands of miles from the United States of America. Having the same encounter at the same time on the same day. You can't make this up. That's why I want to tell you that the spirit realm is real. Walking in the spirit is real. When they apostle, Paul said, I may not be with you in the physical or in person. But I'm with you in the spirit. That is real. And I was attacked by the demon and my mom was led to pray for me three hundred kilometers away.

8:04 Speaker 2: That is she being in the spirit for me at that moment. That is why being in the spirit is real. Take the things of God seriously, guys. You know, I'm telling you honestly. You know, whether you want to believe in my experience or not. That secondary. I'm not here to convince you. I'm not yet to prouit you. I don't have any certificates to prove you, but I can tell you this. Right. For instance, a prophet, pastor or profit Carl, you know, from Mauritius, he sent me this word, you know, a couple of days ago.

8:38 Speaker 2: He said, I don't know why, but I'm getting the word rebirthing for you. And I was like, you know, if I literally went up and came back, isn't that a little sense of her rebirth? Okay? And the second thing was, you know, yesterday I was interviewed by a renawd podcaster from the United States, one of the top one person podcasts in the world. I'm so grateful for the opportunity. I'll share more details once the episode is out. And I was talking to this pastor. His pastor call t is right from Arkinson's in the United States, and he said to this to me.

9:14 Speaker 2: We were talking about encounters, and I was very cautious she was sharing this part because I'm still not sure how people are going to perceive when I say I had an Indian, because I don't have any certificate or anything to prove. And he said his wife had a very same experience when she actually died near him and she went up and she went she could see her body down and she was going up up and then a voice told her, your time hasnt come, go back to your body, and she zoomed in back into a body. And in her case, they were able to take the body because of other reasons.

9:49 Speaker 2: They had to go and get a medical thing done and it could actually prove that she had died at that point. Okay, So that at this time to hear was like a direct confirmation or a verification for me that you know what what happened. I believe by all might that what happened was not an ordinarty thing. It was you know, like even if you think that it was an encounter, fine, But the message I want to bring out through this is that the spirit realm or life after death is very real. Don't take these things lightly.

10:20 Speaker 2: You know, even right now, there's this new movie of Conjuring coming out. You know, a lot of Christians or people are excited go and watch it, but I recommend you not to open the door for the devil in your life, because the spirit realm is so real. Guys, I've seen demons in front of my eyes. I've seen demons attack me. I've seen paranormal activities in my life. I've seen the chair moving on its own. I've seen a moment when me and my brother were at home that television switched on on its own, changed the channel on its own, nobody operating it on its own.

10:57 Speaker 1: Right.

10:58 Speaker 2: We've seen the day morning. You've seen the paranormal, and I can tell you it's not something to play about, but rather something to pray about. And today, my challenge to each one of you is that you will strive to take the spiritual aspects of things seriously. Don't just live this carnal life, nominal Christian life. It's time for you to understand that We are not fighting against flesh and blood. We are fighting against principalities. We are fighting against things that are unseen. The spirit realm is real.

11:32 Speaker 2: You and I are not just living in the body and dying and God forever. The spirit man in us is more alive once we die. And I want you to be very clear on this. So today I want to ask you this question. If you came face to face with death, now, if you are spirit man or you know, came out of your body, where would it go? Will it go to Heaven or would it go to Hell? I challenge you, I've seen he Hell is a very bad place. Even on my worst enemy, I wouldn't recommend them going to Hell, even on a terrorist, I wouldn't recommend them going to Hell because Hell is such a bad place.

12:10 Speaker 2: I challenge you to come to the saving grace of allord and say, with Jesus Christ, who died for our sins on the cross, to make a way so that today, when we accept his gift of salvation, we will have the assurance of make it too heavy, of making it to heaven. And I challenge you to make that your prayer today and say, Lord, I accept your gift of salvation, and I believe that your spirit realm is more real. Help me to operate from that. And I'm telling you, when you operate from that, you're not going to fight things that don't matter.

12:45 Speaker 2: You're going to be more cautious to fight things that do matter, the things that are so important in the spiritual realm. And I challenge you to go in that and fight the good fight of faith so that you'll fulfill the purpose that God has for you. Man, God bless you guys.
