When Mike McKinsey, a construction superintendent, nearly dies from a burst appendix, God answers a prayer he made as a little boy – to see Heaven.
In this incredible near-death experience, Mike is shown how deeply God cares about every detail of our lives. From the biggest life-and-death moments to the smallest tasks on the job site, he learns that nothing is too insignificant for God’s attention. Even something as ordinary as finding a missing screwdriver becomes a powerful reminder that Heaven is closer than we think – and that God is personal, present, and involved in it all.
Hear how Mike’s encounter revealed God’s precise love, purpose, and faithfulness, and why his story will strengthen your faith in a God who truly sees you.

Even if you believe you have absolutely nothing to live for. God's plan is that you are here. Ask Him for guidance and trust. If you at least have a close relationship with Him. It's enough.
This guy seems deliberately vague in order to sell his book. Ive seen him on other channels and he never gives details of his conversation with Jesus which doesnt track with someone just trying to get his experience out.
When i was 23 yrs old i lost my husband of just 7 months in a car accident. I was devastated. One day shortly after his death I was sitting on the side of my bed weeping and lost in grief. Suddenly out of the blue I heard a voice speak clearly into my left ear saying "Do not grieve so you are not alone in this". I feel so blessed to have had this experience as I know beyond a doubt that God is real. Im now in my seventies and this conviction has sustained me through many hardships that have come my way over the years.
You 2 will be leaders in Heaven. Mw, I want to tend plants & animals & spend time sharing joy with women & children… He knows my nature. My husband is already there & I'm hoping that we will still be married there. That man could do anything. If God needs help building those mansions for everyone then I betcha my Jim is involved in that.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m also reading through the Bible quite quickly with the Bible app, but I find myself really struggling with attitude over the old Testament and all the violence and the way the women were treated even by their own fathers. I’ve been walking this Christian life for many years, but still find myself not understanding.
I’ve always had visions and have had lots and lots of bad experiences with negative energies. I lost my home and all my belongings in hurricane Milton and lived most of the time in a hotel, after FEMA was finished paying for my hotel I had to go stay with my daughter. Something I was not excited about because I’m used to living by myself and they have their own way of doing things. Long story short, I bought a replacement car in January approximately 3 1/2 months after hurricane Milton however right around the same time my daughter‘s $50,000 Pathfinder stopped running so since I was staying in a hotel and really didn’t have to use my car I let them keep it so they can go to work and take the kids to school and such. I would come to the house and stay every so often, taking a break from the hotel and spending time with my family however I started to get very agitated with them as they were not taking care of my vehicle. All the money I had was what FEMA had given me and I was feeling resentful. Well one evening I had fallen asleep in my room here at her house in the recliner but only to be awoken by a voice, by someone standing in front of me. I could tell that this figure was extremely tall like up to the ceiling and for whatever reason I could not open my eyes yet I responded to everything what he was telling me. I was admonished for having an attitude and being angry over my vehicle. He asked me, have you thought about what they’re going through and how they feel? Of course my answer was no, and I just apologized over and over and over again, I was ashamed. Well that was the beginning of my life change. I believe that happened around April. The weekend of Fourth of July my youngest son that also lived here in Florida came over to the house for a while and wanted to celebrate and have a few drinks, I did not want to as I said above that my life was changing after what I had just experienced. He went home and the last time I heard from him was around midnight on July 5. I sent him a text asking how he was and he said he was just feeling very very tired. I just figured he was and I fell asleep, the next morning I woke up and reached out to him and I heard nothing back, I tried over and over and over and over, myself along with his 18-year-old daughter, my granddaughter. I could see that his light was on Facebook messenger all that time so I thought maybe he was just upset or something. But then when I thought about it, he would never ever ignore his daughter, I knew something was wrong. The morning of the seventh I still hadn’t heard from him and I decided to go to his house as he should’ve already been at work and was not answering his phone. I prayed the entire trip there that his truck would not be there and he was at work, as I came around the corner to his block I saw his truck in the driveway and my heart sank. I pulled up behind his truck and parked and I sat there for a few minutes because my heart knew what I was going to find. I went to his door and I knocked and knocked and banged and banged and called and screamed and nothing. I couldn’t see inside the windows…but I knew he was inside. The police were called, two of them showed up, one stood with me the entire time outside talking to me and the other one was trying to get in the house or see through the windows. After a few minutes he waved to his partner to come over to him, he managed to see inside the window and saw my son in his bed. My son had suffered horrific depression and sadness and loneliness, he drank a lot through this but he did love the Lord and he did pray he was just so broken. He was only 37 years old, my baby boy. Unless you’ve lost a child you can’t imagine how horrible this is, but throughout all of this the Lord spoke to me constantly right next to me into my ear. He didn’t whisper he just spoke to me as a man would speak to any individual. I remember at one point I stood in the kitchen and I sobbed and I said God I cannot take anymore, and He said oh yes you can! I just responded yes Father, but then I said wait a minute what does that mean? On another occasion around this same. When we were preparing for his services, his father had shown up along with the uncle. They both promised that they would help me with the expenses as again I have just lost everything and I am a disabled woman on Social Security. Well they both lied, and I said something about it out loud to myself and again the Lord said out loud, don’t worry I’ve got this! Who would’ve thought that the Lord would speak like we do? I always thought it would be like thee and thou if I ever heard him but it wasn’t, it was just like my best friend was talking to me. My heart is still broken and I still miss my son as it has been a little over six months without him, but God has changed me through all of this. He has made me new and I’m so grateful my son is no longer suffering. He was an absolute mama’s boy, and I said there’s absolutely no way I could ever die before him as he would not survive it. God must have agreed with me. My son died from an enlarged heart, in his sleep, so I know he passed peacefully.
Allegedly. He was the SON of GOD. No idea who GOD is. Not sure. But KNOW: anybody who wanna RAPE AND SOLD WOMEN AS A TOILET FNG hateful relationship misery FNG HOLE, incl a TOILET. ISNT worthy of anything. NO.
I alway ask the Lord with finding things because many years ago I was hand sewing and I was threading the needle and it fell on to the carpet. I panicked because I did not want my Kids to step on it. Before I even tried to look for It I cried out Jesus Help me find it, when I got on my hands and knees to find it It was at the end of my right pointer finger like I pointed right to it. From then on I always say If you loose something He knows exactly where it is Just ask. Sometimes I get those visions because I am not listening well.
78 years walking with Jesus … sometimes running from … sometimes hiding from … too many times ignoring … made a timeline list of the times that only by God's grace … for me these "God Winks" are as meaningful and helpful as perhaps having been there to have witnessed the Red Sea parting … the Bible tells us that God created us to have a relationship with him … a continuous relationship of walking, talking, and following. – Thank you Jesus … we love you and are gratefull for all you have done and will continue to do for us … and for preparing us a forever l home.
So and so begat so and so…Remember the book Roots? That storytelling method is historical.
This is the way since the beginning of time.

You are all, so, incredibly privileged to hear the voice of the lord, I would give everything, I have for that.
Mr McKinsey & John Burke commentary – up lifting – your message is helping all that listen. Praise.
WOW – INCREDIBLE TESTIMONY – THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! 🙏💝
The NDE was not crazy and Jesus talking with someone is not crazy nor weird either.

school shooting etc can stop in Jesus name amen
Mike, I believe you. Not because I know you, but because I know Him. I believe this and I am grateful for you sharing it. Go with God.
I had this happen this morning when i was praying for my son's dad. I said "if it's Your will please help save Lance and God replied in my head, I already did, then he reminded me that at 19 he became a diabetic and his insulin went low and he collapsed in his driveway in the middle of Mn winter. He was in a coma for 3 days. I KNOW it was Him because that was NOWHERE in my memory.
In God we trust and Jesus saves and please love others. 🙏I don't need to see God or Jesus to have faith. I always had it even as a child of about seven years old. I also was saved from death twice. so was my late wife.
I so depend on the Holy Spirit to help me find things I have lost or misplaced. He never fails to lead me to it. Amazing. I think He loves helping me in my old age.
Amen 😊
Amen 😊
I've never had God or Jesus audibly speak to me, but I've had countless times where God gives me a wink or a sign. A small example… I'm driving down the highway on my way to work. I'm stuck in traffic and just daydreaming a little. Not sure why, but a random thought about God popped into my head. I started contemplating about God and thinking about how incredible he is. I look over to my left, and the truck next to me has a sticker on the back of Jesus and it looks like he's peaking around a corner. On the sticker, underneath Jesus, were the words, "I See You". Immediately afterward I could feel the rush of the Holy Spirit fill me. It was something I couldn't describe in words at the time, but it's happened a lot ever since becoming a Christian a few years ago.
There is no such thing as a Christian on Sunday. He is in us and we in Him and He seated us in heavenly places. Please quit teaching our separation from God! We are clean and close!
