I know you" master plumber. " I still remember you… Mellow Ridge drive. I was wearing a cross and you asked what that ment to me. I was going to go to dive school. Spring TX 1998ish. Your story still reaches out to me. I hope to see you there someday.
Why is youtube so aggressive with the commercials and ads??? Literally every 30 seconds they break into the video with 5 minutes of ads. Gonna take me a week to watch this video.
Thank you to both of you! From Quebec.
Will God give those who die (unbelievers) a chance like he did these people?
John, these sound bs because they are bs. Just because you’ve heard some similar stories does not really validate them, just validates the bs that can be said and picked up by others. Go on to write books, get clicks. Stick to the more serious legitimate ones that leave no doubt.

I really love your interviews, but it would be better if you would ask your questions at the end rather than divert the interviewees thought process.Amazing, encouraging, testimonies. Wow, our God is good! All Glory to our Lord Jesus!
I really really love your show. The only part that bothers me is that you interrupt the person sharing quite often. I don't even think you realize you're doing it, but it's very, frustrating.
So eternal torture is GOD's "Love"?
Love your ministry. God bless you and your family. KLG
so many interviewer interruptions in the first interview. Had to fast forward through it.
To this day, 20 years later I pray to God to forgive me for not telling my dad about Jesus before he died. I had the chance and I said nothing. Your testimony gave me hope.

So true Howard about anger and apathy
The evil half corpse “grandmother” is Hel, the ruler of the nine worlds of the dead in Norse mythology. She was thrown into there by the gods of Asgard.
As someone that has had a NDE, I believe what we experience is based on our fears and the root of who we are. It’s almost like a perfectly balanced experience that brings you closer to Christ. For me there was a point where I had a choice to have faith and believe or stay in the version of hell that I experienced.
I also believe that just before I died , I knew that I was going to die and I threw my hands up and said “ I give it to you God” . I think it was that moment that God allowed me to experience darkness to live in the light.
I hope Howard stayed long enough at the college long enough to undo the damage he's done to students before.
HI JOHN, COULD YOU GIVE HOWARD A MESSAGE FOR ME? I SAW HIM WEEP FOR HIS CHILDREN THAT HE HAD DRUMMED ATHEISM INTO. SO I RESOLVED TO PRAY FOR THEM THE MOST EXCELLENT PRAYER I KNOW OF AND DID JUST THAT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT IS THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET. IN 1932 JESUS APPEARED TO A POLISH NUN, SISTER FAUSTINA KOWLSKA, AND GAVE HER THIS SPECIAL PRAYER. JESUS PROMISED THAT WHOEVER THIS PRAYER WAS PRAYED FOR, AT THE HOUR OF THEIR DEATH JESUS WOULD COME TO THEM THREE TIMES OFFERING SALVATION. IT'S THE BEST CHANCE WE HAVE OF HELPING TO SAVE THE SOULS OF ATHEISTS, SUICIDES, DEATHS THROUGH DRUG OVERDOSE, SUDDEN UNEXPECTED DEATH (AND THEREFORE UNPREPARED FOR DEATH), ANYONE ALIVE OR DEAD THAT WE WANT TO HELP GET THAT LAST CHANCE TO GRASP THE HAND OF JESUS THE SAVIOR. HOWARD CAN PRAY IT FOR HIS GRANDKIDS, ANYONE HE WANTS REALLY, AND HE CAN ASK JESUS TO GIVE HIM ASSURANCE THAT THIS IS A REAL SPECIAL GRACE GIVEN BY JESUS TO US. JESUS SURE DOES BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO REACH US DOESN'T HE ? SUCH A LOVING FATHER.
God does not want anyone to perish. God loves everyone. God does what He can to save people.
Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary who conceived by God. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus never sinned. He did no violence and there was no deception found in His mouth. Jesus raises the dead, heals people, and casts out devils. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Jesus was crucified and died for the sins of the world. Jesus's Blood was shed so that we could be forgiven. Jesus was buried in a sepulcher/tomb. God resurrected Jesus from death to Life on the third day. Jesus left the tomb. Jesus was seen, heard and touched by witnesses who said that Jesus lives. Jesus was seen by Mary Magdalene and other women. Jesus was seen by Peter, the Twelve, over 500 brethren at once, James, all the apostles and Paul. Paul became a believer after Jesus appeared and talked to Him. Before that Paul persecuted the church. Jesus ascended to heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. Jesus will return to the earth. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Jesus Christ is Lord. Read the four Gospels and Acts in the New Testament in the Bible. I was God's enemy but God loved me so much that He gave His Son Jesus to die for me so I could be His friend and have total forgiveness, love and eternity with Him. Praise God and thank you Jesus for the sacrifice you made.
Gosh, I've been waiting for this for forever! Thank you for doing this episode!
will all people have a second chance to repent after death?
2nd guy sounds like he directed a horror movie
Anger at God is the statement "God is."
Love these interviews Pastor John Burke does God bless these people . God is using them to reach all of us. Jesus is coming soon
Thank you for the work you’re doing.
As darkness draws nearer worldwide, my eyes focus on Heaven more & more; each time I listen to your podcasts, I can see it in longer glimpses of time. Brings so much anticipation! Thank you Jesus for blessing us all w John’s ministry.
Thank you
I wish he wouldn’t interrupt that young man so much
Deep dark void…. I remember that
I would caution anyone not to take the risk that you will get a second chance. Surrender to Jesus (Yeshuah) now for now is the hour of salvation.
JESUS CHRIST is our LORD and savior 🙏
As it relates to the second guy… kind of reminds me of some the experiences Howard Storm had
I almost went to Hell in 2020. Then I was taken to Heaven where I saw Jesus’s Cross on top of Mount Zion.
Why does Howard always say, “small stomach” in his testimony? There’s no such anatomic organ or term. Does he not know that? I wonder if he referring to the duodenum, which is part of the small intestine.
54:05 I kinda get sad it took this long for the bible to get mentioned once. all of these experiences are wonderful in this sense of salvation came from it, but not everybody's gonna get this chance. The chance that everybody does get without a shadow the doubt is opening up their Bible and recognizing that, that in itself is quite literally God speaking to them directly. The word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, it is the truth the way in the life, it is the words of life, it is how we are born again.
Does religion matter?
Why did you stop being catholic?
Starting at 9:25 the hairs
on my next stood up. I didn't believe in such a place until I went myself. I was there for lifetimes, i still have p t s d. and it was just like this. The further down you go, the more desolate it becomes. I was told there are some people who are hated more than others, even and hell. I was there not only for my own sins, but for the sins of my mother, my grandmother and my great grandmother. It was the worst internal suffering I have ever experienced. I would prefer to be ripped apart piece piece, every day and have alcohol poured on my wounds. Every day of my life. And then some. I came back with pretty severe ptsd. There's no way to rectify it. eventually, i realized I couldn't hurt anymore. So I crawled around in the dark, until I found another person lying there, like me. Suffering. I put my hand on their back. and I decided to take on their pain. Eventually, I was able to die out of that awful realm. I'm so terrified.I'm going to go back😢 i wish someone could help me integrate this experience… It's been more than a decade and I think about it regularly. Please pray for my soul. I was cursed by a very bad shameman in the rainforest. He chose to steal some of my soul. My light. I've been regularly spiritually attacked since then, i came back living someone else's life.Not my own. I lost everyone. I lost everything. I had a wonderful connection to the other side Prior to this. IT'S BEEN BLOCKED. It's a very disturbing feeling to be this alone. I don't want to die alone. Thank you for praying for the retrieval l of my soul. God bless you, god loves all of us. Deep inside, I know he loves me. I pray I don't have to go back. ❤❤❤ i feel I was tricked… When I walked in to that place, i was explicitly told" if you enter, you can never leave". Why on earth would I enter such a terrifying place?!?! Love and light.
John often recounts the hell experience of Howard Storm. However, I heard Howard say in one of his videos that he asked Jesus if reincarnation was real. And supposedly Jesus said it was rare but a reality. That wasn't Jesus who told Howard that. This makes me doubt Howard's entire testimony.
Please pray for my husband to experience Jesus, he is apathetic and unbelieving and I pray every day for his conversion. 🙏🏻
This was amazing. I enjoyed hearing from all 3 of these wonderful men. Thank you for sharing. I will be praying for all of you to reach as many people possible. ❤
2nd guy had a fever dream . Thats a dream that a ton of withdrawal stories. You think you're dead and the dream seems so real but its a dream. Im sorry
In God of Abraham (the only reality) we trust and in Jesus name we are saved. Loving others is what matters the most to our Lord. 🙏 Amen.
These 3 testimonies are so incredible! Since I was saved by Jesus almost 30 years ago and I got to experience how much He loves me (and al of us) and to live with Him inside of me through the Holy Spirit ever since I called on Him to save me. I ALWAYS have believed that He would give all of those who die without calling on Him or believing in Him ……. another chance to do so on the other side ….. I am thrilled to hear this confirmed by all of you in this video. It is devastating that some souls won't even accept Him when given the chance from hell ….. so thankful the three of you have! I love to hear what you are all doing now – and you too John …. FOUR OF GOD'S CHOSEN ONES (as am I) – WOW – we are SO- SO blessed! 🙏🙏🙏
Most NDEs have fantastical accounts that seem hard to believe. What I like about this channel is, unlike most others, is the important part is always brought back to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, as it should.
