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

0:51 Speaker 2: quickly drop by and share something with you based on

0:54 Speaker 2: something that I experienced recently, just for the record of

0:58 Speaker 2: those of you do not know. You know, I was

1:01 Speaker 2: down with severe zing and you know a lot of

1:04 Speaker 2: things that have been happening in my life in recent times,

1:08 Speaker 2: and one of the things I wanted to understand is

1:10 Speaker 2: one of the times when I was down with very

1:13 Speaker 2: severe bezing because of the you know, the z and

1:16 Speaker 2: 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

1:24 Speaker 2: myself going out of my body. Okay, now, mind you,

1:28 Speaker 2: some of you may or may not believe in this,

1:30 Speaker 2: but this is up to you. Whether you want to

1:32 Speaker 2: believe in it or not, it's up to you. But

1:34 Speaker 2: I want to share what happened. I want to be

1:37 Speaker 2: clear and honest about what happened so that you can

1:40 Speaker 2: make the decision whether you want to believe it or

1:42 Speaker 2: not in it or not. But there's a very important

1:44 Speaker 2: message or a reason why I want to talk about this.

1:48 Speaker 2: So I saw myself going out of my body, and

1:52 Speaker 2: I can see my body down on the bed and

1:55 Speaker 2: I'm going going, And immediately I'm reminded of the fact that,

1:58 Speaker 2: you know, I interviewed pastor John Burke, New York, thanks

2:03 Speaker 2: best selling author who's been on really big shows like

2:06 Speaker 2: The Chandra and Show, Megan Kelly Show and uh It's

2:09 Speaker 2: Supernatural with sid Rot and all of that. You can

2:11 Speaker 2: check out this interview on my YouTube channel and the

2:14 Speaker 2: podcast as well. So I was immediately reminded of indes.

2:19 Speaker 2: He is known for the subject of near the experiences

2:22 Speaker 2: where people have actually died seeing heaven or hell and

2:25 Speaker 2: come back and so I had exposure to this. So

2:29 Speaker 2: the minute I saw myself go up and I could

2:31 Speaker 2: see my body down, I was immediately you know, reminded

2:35 Speaker 2: of that, you know what I mean, like, because that's

2:37 Speaker 2: exactly what happens here. When a person dies, the first

2:40 Speaker 2: thing they say is they see them their body beneath them,

2:44 Speaker 2: and they're going up. Whether if they're inside the house,

2:46 Speaker 2: they're going towards the ceiling. That's exactly what happened. I

2:49 Speaker 2: saw myself going up towards the ceiling. And I want

2:51 Speaker 2: you to understand that this was not a dream or

2:54 Speaker 2: a vision or just hallucination, because this was this was

2:57 Speaker 2: not just imagination. This was very real. You know, it

3:02 Speaker 2: was very much how people who have actually experienced near

3:06 Speaker 2: the experiences share. Right that you know, the life after

3:12 Speaker 2: or once you leave the body is more real than

3:14 Speaker 2: you can imagine. We think that our life is real,

3:17 Speaker 2: but that I want you to understand. The scripture is

3:20 Speaker 2: very clear, right, what you see is temporary. What you

3:22 Speaker 2: see is just you know, it's not as real as

3:26 Speaker 2: what is unseen. The other side of things is so real.

3:29 Speaker 2: And I could see that, and I'm just going and

3:32 Speaker 2: I could immediately correlate because I had this exposure or

3:35 Speaker 2: idea or knowledge about near that experiences. And as I'm going,

3:40 Speaker 2: I heard a voice saying, your time has income go

3:42 Speaker 2: back to your body, and boom, I saw myself go

3:46 Speaker 2: into my body and here I am. Now. I don't

3:49 Speaker 2: have any certificate or anything to prove whether I actually

3:52 Speaker 2: died at that point or it was just an encounter,

3:55 Speaker 2: whatever it is. You know, one thing I know for

3:58 Speaker 2: a fact is when God said your time and come

4:00 Speaker 2: go back, which means that, you know what, I'm still

4:02 Speaker 2: here for a plan and the purpose by God, and

4:05 Speaker 2: I'm here to fulfill his plan and this purpose, and

4:07 Speaker 2: I'm going to continue to do that in the midst

4:10 Speaker 2: of all the pain and the trouble that I'm going through. Okay,

4:13 Speaker 2: so in your life as well, I want to share

4:15 Speaker 2: that you know what till your time to go, you know,

4:19 Speaker 2: is ordained by God. You know, you know it's you

4:23 Speaker 2: are not going to go. You're going to be here

4:25 Speaker 2: till you fulfill God's purpose. I want you to say

4:27 Speaker 2: yes to God's purpose over your life. And here's the

4:29 Speaker 2: thing I wanted to understand. You know. The other thing

4:33 Speaker 2: I want to talk about is that whether you believe

4:35 Speaker 2: in this encounter or this experience. Whether you want to

4:38 Speaker 2: acknowledge that this was an end or not that that's

4:41 Speaker 2: up to you your decision, but I want you to

4:43 Speaker 2: get the message here. My message is very clear that

4:46 Speaker 2: life of the death is real. Okay, I'm seeing in

4:50 Speaker 2: a literal say, and I can say I've seen, you know,

4:53 Speaker 2: life beyond the body. Like I said, I could see

4:56 Speaker 2: my body down and I was up. I could see

4:58 Speaker 2: life beyond the body. And I can tell you life

5:01 Speaker 2: beyond the body is real. Life beyond the body is real.

5:04 Speaker 2: You know, spiritual forces are real. You know the demonic

5:07 Speaker 2: forces are real. I've shared this many times, how I've

5:10 Speaker 2: had actual spiritual warfare where demons have come in the

5:14 Speaker 2: physical realm and attack me. There have been moments when

5:16 Speaker 2: there were scratch marks on my body for days together

5:21 Speaker 2: when I had these attacks. And there were times when

5:23 Speaker 2: I would be attacked in one place. And there was

5:26 Speaker 2: a moment when I was attacked at one thirty in

5:28 Speaker 2: the night when I was studying in the university, in

5:32 Speaker 2: a residential university, and my mom was woken up in

5:35 Speaker 2: the spirit at that same moment to pray for me, saying,

5:38 Speaker 2: you know your son is being attacked by demons. Pray

5:41 Speaker 2: for him. So I can tell you these things are

5:43 Speaker 2: very real. Guys, don't underestimate the reality of the spiritual realm.

5:49 Speaker 2: Never understimate that. There was a moment when I was

5:52 Speaker 2: being attacked by demons and I had scratch marks on

5:54 Speaker 2: my body. This happened at around two thirty in the

5:57 Speaker 2: night one time, and a pastor in the U the

6:00 Speaker 2: United States, exactly at that point sent me a message

6:03 Speaker 2: saying I saw a vision of you being attacked by

6:06 Speaker 2: demons by said Dance and John. He sent this. You know,

6:09 Speaker 2: I can tell you. If I just shared that I

6:12 Speaker 2: was attacked by demons, you could say or maybe you

6:14 Speaker 2: were hallucinating, Maybe it was just sleep paralysis, Maybe it

6:19 Speaker 2: 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,

6:26 Speaker 2: you know that this is real. These are verified, These

6:31 Speaker 2: are actual truths that the spirit realm is real. Never

6:35 Speaker 2: understimate and life of the death is real. Like I said,

6:39 Speaker 2: I could you know. One of the reasons why I

6:42 Speaker 2: believe this was not just an encounter, but this was

6:44 Speaker 2: an actual reason is because why would God tell me

6:48 Speaker 2: go back to your body. Your time has income if

6:51 Speaker 2: IF because I've had encounters where God took me in

6:53 Speaker 2: the spirit to show me glimpses of hell. God took

6:57 Speaker 2: me in the spirit into the White House to pray

6:58 Speaker 2: over President Trump. I've had encounters like that that were wild,

7:03 Speaker 2: especially when I had that encounter to pray over President Trump.

7:07 Speaker 2: Another prophet is profet is Shoutika Priscilla, with whom again

7:10 Speaker 2: I've done a collaboration and we have done a series

7:13 Speaker 2: on visions. You can check it out. She had the

7:16 Speaker 2: same encounter. I didn't even know her back then. She's

7:19 Speaker 2: also based out of Bangalore in India, and she had

7:21 Speaker 2: the same encounter where God took her in the spirit

7:24 Speaker 2: into the White House to prayer what President Trump lay

7:27 Speaker 2: her hand on his right shoulder word toward the same

7:30 Speaker 2: encounter which I had. And she was in Bangalore. I'm

7:34 Speaker 2: in Bangalore, so many thousands of miles from the United

7:37 Speaker 2: States of America. Having the same encounter at the same

7:41 Speaker 2: time on the same day. You can't make this up.

7:45 Speaker 2: That's why I want to tell you that the spirit

7:47 Speaker 2: realm is real. Walking in the spirit is real. When

7:51 Speaker 2: they apostle, Paul said, I may not be with you

7:53 Speaker 2: in the physical or in person. But I'm with you

7:57 Speaker 2: in the spirit. That is real. And I was attacked

8:00 Speaker 2: by the demon and my mom was led to pray

8:02 Speaker 2: for me three hundred kilometers away. That is she being

8:05 Speaker 2: in the spirit for me at that moment. That is

8:08 Speaker 2: why being in the spirit is real. Take the things

8:11 Speaker 2: of God seriously, guys. You know, I'm telling you honestly.

8:16 Speaker 2: You know, whether you want to believe in my experience

8:20 Speaker 2: or not. That secondary. I'm not here to convince you.

8:22 Speaker 2: I'm not yet to prouit you. I don't have any

8:24 Speaker 2: certificates to prove you, but I can tell you this. Right.

8:27 Speaker 2: For instance, a prophet, pastor or profit Carl, you know,

8:34 Speaker 2: from Mauritius, he sent me this word, you know, a

8:38 Speaker 2: couple of days ago. He said, I don't know why,

8:39 Speaker 2: but I'm getting the word rebirthing for you. And I

8:43 Speaker 2: was like, you know, if I literally went up and

8:45 Speaker 2: came back, isn't that a little sense of her rebirth? Okay?

8:49 Speaker 2: And the second thing was, you know, yesterday I was

8:53 Speaker 2: interviewed by a renawd podcaster from the United States, one

8:56 Speaker 2: of the top one person podcasts in the world. I'm

9:00 Speaker 2: so grateful for the opportunity. I'll share more details once

9:03 Speaker 2: the episode is out. And I was talking to this pastor.

9:06 Speaker 2: His pastor call t is right from Arkinson's in the

9:10 Speaker 2: United States, and he said to this to me. We

9:14 Speaker 2: were talking about encounters, and I was very cautious she

9:17 Speaker 2: was sharing this part because I'm still not sure how

9:21 Speaker 2: people are going to perceive when I say I had

9:23 Speaker 2: an Indian, because I don't have any certificate or anything

9:26 Speaker 2: to prove. And he said his wife had a very

9:30 Speaker 2: same experience when she actually died near him and she

9:34 Speaker 2: went up and she went she could see her body

9:38 Speaker 2: down and she was going up up and then a

9:41 Speaker 2: voice told her, your time hasnt come, go back to

9:42 Speaker 2: your body, and she zoomed in back into a body.

9:45 Speaker 2: And in her case, they were able to take the

9:48 Speaker 2: body because of other reasons. They had to go and

9:51 Speaker 2: get a medical thing done and it could actually prove

9:53 Speaker 2: that she had died at that point. Okay, So that

9:57 Speaker 2: at this time to hear was like a direct confirmation

10:00 Speaker 2: or a verification for me that you know what what happened.

10:03 Speaker 2: I believe by all might that what happened was not

10:06 Speaker 2: an ordinarty thing. It was you know, like even if

10:10 Speaker 2: you think that it was an encounter, fine, But the

10:13 Speaker 2: message I want to bring out through this is that

10:15 Speaker 2: the spirit realm or life after death is very real.

10:19 Speaker 2: Don't take these things lightly. You know, even right now,

10:22 Speaker 2: there's this new movie of Conjuring coming out. You know,

10:25 Speaker 2: a lot of Christians or people are excited go and

10:28 Speaker 2: watch it, but I recommend you not to open the

10:31 Speaker 2: door for the devil in your life, because the spirit

10:34 Speaker 2: realm is so real. Guys, I've seen demons in front

10:37 Speaker 2: of my eyes. I've seen demons attack me. I've seen

10:41 Speaker 2: paranormal activities in my life. I've seen the chair moving

10:45 Speaker 2: on its own. I've seen a moment when me and

10:47 Speaker 2: my brother were at home that television switched on on

10:50 Speaker 2: its own, changed the channel on its own, nobody operating

10:55 Speaker 2: 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

11:02 Speaker 2: I can tell you it's not something to play about,

11:05 Speaker 2: but rather something to pray about. And today, my challenge

11:09 Speaker 2: to each one of you is that you will strive

11:12 Speaker 2: to take the spiritual aspects of things seriously. Don't just

11:17 Speaker 2: live this carnal life, nominal Christian life. It's time for

11:21 Speaker 2: you to understand that We are not fighting against flesh

11:23 Speaker 2: and blood. We are fighting against principalities. We are fighting

11:27 Speaker 2: against things that are unseen. The spirit realm is real.

11:32 Speaker 2: You and I are not just living in the body

11:34 Speaker 2: and dying and God forever. The spirit man in us

11:38 Speaker 2: is more alive once we die. And I want you

11:42 Speaker 2: to be very clear on this. So today I want

11:45 Speaker 2: to ask you this question. If you came face to

11:48 Speaker 2: face with death, now, if you are spirit man or

11:52 Speaker 2: you know, came out of your body, where would it go?

11:55 Speaker 2: Will it go to Heaven or would it go to Hell?

11:58 Speaker 2: I challenge you, I've seen he Hell is a very

12:01 Speaker 2: bad place. Even on my worst enemy, I wouldn't recommend

12:04 Speaker 2: them going to Hell, even on a terrorist, I wouldn't

12:07 Speaker 2: recommend them going to Hell because Hell is such a

12:10 Speaker 2: bad place. I challenge you to come to the saving

12:13 Speaker 2: grace of allord and say, with Jesus Christ, who died

12:16 Speaker 2: for our sins on the cross, to make a way

12:20 Speaker 2: so that today, when we accept his gift of salvation,

12:24 Speaker 2: we will have the assurance of make it too heavy,

12:27 Speaker 2: of making it to heaven. And I challenge you to

12:30 Speaker 2: make that your prayer today and say, Lord, I accept

12:33 Speaker 2: your gift of salvation, and I believe that your spirit

12:37 Speaker 2: realm is more real. Help me to operate from that.

12:40 Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, when you operate from that, you're

12:43 Speaker 2: not going to fight things that don't matter. You're going

12:45 Speaker 2: to be more cautious to fight things that do matter,

12:49 Speaker 2: the things that are so important in the spiritual realm.

12:55 Speaker 2: And I challenge you to go in that and fight

12:58 Speaker 2: the good fight of faith so that you'll fulfill the

13:00 Speaker 2: purpose that God has for you. Man, God bless you guys.
