When God said go back and tell them I love them. I started bawling. I know he does but I dont feel it. This life is so hard but I'm holding on for my family. Thank you for your story.

[@USMC98]

My opinion. When you started bawling , that was the Holy Spirit in you. It moves you because it recognizes Truth. Jesus said , I am the Truth , the Way and the Life. It is said that " the longest road traveled is the one from our minds to the heart❤️ " You as a human may have trouble grasping it, BUT the soul , the Holy Spirit, they know, son you will too. God truly loves you and when you suffer He's right there with you....always. May God bless you always. 🙏

[@garyr.8116]

Been there done that!

[@Jindy2]

Praying for you. Remember that Christ also felt what you are feeling when, during His crucifixion he said "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" So He knows how you feel, and He is with you. And your family needs you!!

[@IsraelCountryCube]

What i need is to be spirituality revived but im working on my physical body. Yet feel emptiness for God. I need help i dont know it all. But i sure need my soul to be regenerated. I love this videos.

[@worklegitonline6379]

it's not a bad thing to feel empty sometimes because our relationship with God is not about FEELINGS. What you need to do now is to pray regularly. 3 o click in the morning and afternoon are very good times. Just ask God for mercy and the grace to know him more!

[@jimthescrub]

I am 16, I turn 17 on the 13th of July. I pray every day to combat my doubts and uncertainty, yet even though I see proof of miracles and stuff like this, I still have uncertainty. Is this normal? I am afraid to give up praying because I know deep down that I am meant to be a believer. I just don't know if I am doing enough.

[@jeanniearnold6726]

It’s human to doubt. Google doubting Thomas. Keep praying and ask for faith

[@jeanniearnold6726]

Also read Mark 9:24

[@brianfarley926]

Belief isn’t certainly just a feeling, it’s a verb so It requires action. Our faith will ebb and flow because our feelings at any given moment may or may not be true. You should look past just subjective feelings and do the work necessary to remain in fellowship with God which includes prayer. So keep it up. Some days you’ll feel close to God and some days you won’t feel as close or have doubts. Keep praying

[@jimthescrub]

Thanks, guys. I have talked to my pastor and other friends about this. I know I can get through this. It's just hard because I am distant from my church because we moved and also growing up. But I will never give up! Thanks again, guys!

[@IsraelCountryCube]

​@@jimthescrubI'm 21 and certainly 100% convinced of empirical physical naturalistic scientific and biblical archeology historical that proves Jesus is beyond mere existing as a historical figure but as the living God. However and. I know much more but for all that knowledgeable information that I can grasp fathom hold with my mind I sometimes sin and curse vulgarly and feel as if I'm self destructing and when I lust and when I hate all of a sudden I don't know what this is but other than spiritual I have other problems around me what we as let's say Adams and descendants males females commit to is to pray to God to become saints as he himself following his example because all the saints are our example but they're only saints because they followed Jesus Christ so who's really special here? Christ Jesus. I certainly need to pray stay safe you're not that older than me by the way your age goes by fast so if you're in sin make sure you destroy that tie say that repeated action because I've sure done a sin 10k times it doesn't feel good. And not many humans have been capable as a one to helping me but I'm finally getting out of this hell hole. So keep your head and excersize your physical too which is only a side weapon for good health and climb your way to spirituality. Up and away to God good night brothers in Christ I genuinely believe we're all related spirituality and biologically that sounds weird but that's because I'm probably the first one to say such strange words sometimes I can't believe they're true but they are. God bless

[@christiandpaul2022]

I find it amazing that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light but a soul / spirit can transport him / herself to another location with just a thought. Billions of trillions of miles away can take as long as a thought. What is the soul made of that can move at such speeds or is the soul stationary and just staying there being able to see into that distant space or dimension? Is thought as fast as the speed of light?

[@CatholicAging]

Can you enable us to ‘clip’ one minute segments? I see that most channels allow this for their videos. It allows me to share a one minute or shorter clip that gets them interested in the whole video.

The 16 year old blind patient passing through the hospital walls and reading signs on a train peread. You mentioned the soul does not adhere to the physical laws of the universe. Peri agree and what I speed of light is not the ultimate limit of located from one place to another. I think the reality is that thinking is the fastest way to go from one place to another, and that might be proof of the string theory and entanglement concept of physics, But I know for sure the speed of light is no competitor to the speed of thought.

Well, the term is NEAR death experience. Anything that goes on happens in a persons brain not outside their body.

@@gknight4719some people do die. Their bodies shut down completely and then they come back. Most of these tell almost the exact same story about what’s on the other side… As someone who has had a near death experience, it’s real. I was above my body watching my car spin and crash. Then I was back in my body feeling unbelievable pain and gasping. I hope you never have to experience an NDE, but some people only learn by experience. I’ll leave it to God.

Your definition of being "DEAD" can it happen to someone that has been dead for 3 days? of cause, you might think SO Jesus did. How about a month? I think you will find they were not dead but in a coma.

Humans are a living soul.

[@johnvemmular]

We're actually immortal, or eternally living SPIRITS. All living things have a soul, inasmuch as the soul is the impetus that imparts life to that living thing. Our soul is something we HAVE, whereas our spirit is what we ARE. However, we're the only creatures who have immortal souls.

[@christiandpaul2022]

One of two things... Heaven will be so satisficing that a steak will have no meaning to you or if you can only be please by a porter house steak God loves you so much he would get you one. However our desires will not be a thing to satisfy in heaven which makes hell so bad. You have all of the same desires you had on earth but None can ever be satisfied. You would go thru eternity thinking about that steak until it drove you insane.

Look at it from a larger perspective. It seems logical to me that a NEAR death experience would reflect that person's religious beliefs because it's comforting to them.

As kevinkelly2162 mentions - each religion has their own near death experience that relates directly to their own particular faith; I think that proves we don't have souls !

There is no consciousness in death

[@maxamahnken7325]

@slhkslhk2998 The Bible teaches that the dead know nothing and sleep in insensibility within the grave until the resurrection. There is no awareness or consciousness in death and the dead have no conscious awareness ------ of the living. The false idea that there is an undying soul has permeated Western culture but ------ ideas of the immortality of the soul as having originated from Eastern religions ------ and from both Platonic and Grecian philosophy. Not from the Bible.

You have to admit is is so much more scientific to say the Earth created itself than to think God did it. Come on, who created God? God is just not scientific at all.

[@maxamahnken7325]

God creating the Earth. It did not create itself.

[@clancymcquigg9308]

it is not a soul that survives near death, it is the human spirit created by God before the foundation of the world and assigned to a future body to do the will of the father Christ said he gave up his spirit when he died. The soul is part of the body and does not surive ddeath, the spirit is eternal and does survive death. We neeed to get the theology about soul and spirit straightened out. The spirit can be engaged when a person is dying and help to keep them from dying I experienced this many times doing CPR The spirit can be recruited to heal parts of the body damamged during surgery. Been there done that..

[@PowersMiller]

@clancymcquigg9308 we are all souls living in a body. It is a medical fact that the human body loses 28 grams of weight at time of death. The spirit i believe remains with the soul. I was with my father when he took his last breath, i felt his soul l ave his body, i say felt but it was more like a woosh where my eyes literally followed an invisible energy leave his body… you say spirit others says soul - tomato - tamato… God Bless you for all the times you have performed CPR and for everything good you do on behalf of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I love God, i love Jesus, I love the Holy Spirit… i love all my Guardian Angels, all the Guardian Angels of Good, all the Archangels, all the Angels and Saints, all the souls of the faithfully departed and all of God’s Souls. I have died at least 3 times yet no memories of the other side - i do know my life, soul, spirit was saved by the Grace of God and his purpose for me - i have met the devil disguised as a human once for sure and perhaps two other times. Demons cannot hurt us, their goal is to convince us to hurt ourselves- if you feel or sence demons coming at you - tell them you know they are there - tell them you love God and everything good… then command them to leave, they will get scared and retreat. Love yourself first in order to love others…there are no words in the human dictionary that can adequately define the true meaning of the word FAITH. No matter what our life has been - we never lose our soul to the devil until we do die, so if you know anyone like a lot of musicians think they sold their soul… God, says its like buying house… you may have signed the purchase agreement however until you are actually dead God will happily accept your contrition and if you dont know - GOD IS GIVING A MUCH BETTER DEAL… sell your soul to him, he forgives… he knows our hearts - he created us… our souls really are his. The devil preys on cowards that have heard of Jesus’ crucifixion yet think that we dont have challenges and struggles - the strugglesare when we grow spiritually… i love God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. When you get to heaven you will be surprised who you see there and who you dont see there. Follow the 10 commandments and love love love… I promise you this- there will never be enough energy in hate to destroy LOVE.
