Wow. I made it to my church today,, after 55 days of Covid,,,, and this set in motion my hunger again,, this particular program( service) just speaks to me. He is EVERY THING. WE NEED / could ever need/ want,,, so many prayers over the years, and YEARS,,, not yet answered ( in my way?) yet,, but I do not think about that anymore. He SEES HE HEARS. HE KNOWS US DEEPLY AND AND INTIMATELY. And I do not care anymore,, what I do not have. Or that I’m still alone. I do not care. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

A dear friend had given me John's book IMAGINE HEAVEN before she died (she had bought multiple copies for gifts as she felt God had "sent" her the book and wanted to share it with many before she left us) and I have been impacted by it like no other book besides the Bible. I was excited to see the film AFTER DEATH and now am looking forward to reading John's new book. Thank you for this message, Crossroads!!!

I used to believe in Heaven on faith alone. Then my son died on 10-23-2021. Shortly before he died, he said that he really missed his grandaddy - my father. It was devastating. But we moved on. I prayed that God would give me a sign that he had arrived in Heaven. On the morning of 8-13-22, I woke up before everyone else. Then I heard my son say “Mom”. Just “Mom”. I made a note on my calendar. A few weeks later, I realized that my son had messaged me on my father’s birthday. Imagine that. I really heard from Heaven. NOTE: We have friends who also lost a son. He also messaged his mother. My husband and I agreed that whoever dies first will message the other. I kind of reminds me of how I used to call my parents when I reached my destination on a road trip.

I was thinking about my Mom during dinner yesterday evening. I read this comment at breakfast. My mom’s birthday is August 13th.

Dear pastor John. Thank you for your wonderful work but you are missing the most essential point: It’s not that God is far greater and majestic that we have ever imagined but that we, through his empowerment, can be as great and majestic as he is. This was always the point. Praying and living with God is one thing but it is in us becoming exactly like him that he wants the most for us and everyone, beyond religions, sects and religious identification. His intention is not to build a bigger church but to make each one of us like Jesus, fully merged in him, completely same as him in terms of purity and divine qualities. Thank you and God bless you.

[@StephLovesJesus]

God lead me to watch this and I know when it’s not from my own mind. Then I realized God wanted me to know that my prayers and imaginings with Him were real. The night before I had not prayed much but I did imagine what I wanted to do when I see Jesus face to face. I imagined dancing and laughing hand in hand just gushing and beaming over one another in a funny corny but absolutely genuine way. It was the best visions or daydreams I’ve had and also unique, never had that one before. I just felt that joy, happiness, laughter and excitement like this video confirmed to me when people shared about laughing with God. My daydream was real in my heart and real to Jesus. Can’t wait to see my Heavenly Father, my Love, my Everything 🙏💓💓💓

Everything that Jesus Christ said in the Bible about himself is mind-boggling because He is the only person who said he came from Heaven, He receives praise and worship, and He is Lord over the Sabbath.

[@TheNarrowPath40]

I heard everyone including the pastor talk about Jesus. But I did not hear about repenting of our sin and accepting Jesus was the final sacrifice to forgive us and to make us righteous so we can go through the narrow gate the one guy talked about. Don't understand why this is missing.

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

Kind of off topic here but we Christians spend waaayyyy too much time on the New Testament. Jesus was a Jew and said himself he was sent by God to fulfill the prophecies in the Hebrew texts.

I think I understand what you mean by this. But the New Testament is the new covenant. I think we should put as much into the Old Testament as we do the New.
