There is a lot of rubbish on social media and You Tube. So many fakes! But God also speaks in dark and confusing places.
Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?
At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:
“To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. Pr 8:1–4 NIV
God sends his messengers to speak in churches, in prisons, in schools, in businesses, in hospitals and in social media.
God speaks through evangelists, doctors, nurses and teachers.
Some evangelists speak to crowds with microphones. Others pray for strangers in city streets. God sent a prominent German evangelist to visit a brothel to rescue a victim of human trafficking.
Jesus visits brothels, temples and mosques. So many Muslims report seeing Jesus in dreams. There are even reports of men seeing Jesus in a vision in mosques. Many Muslims have become Christians through dreams and visions.
I love You Tube. The is so much evil there, so many fakes, so much confusion. But …
... where sin increased, grace increased all the more, Rom 5:20 NIV
In recent decades there has been a dramatic increase in reports of people who have been near death or clinically dead and they have reported supernatural experiences. Many report seeing Jesus. Many describe heaven or hell.
Many Christians believe we are in the last days before Jesus returns. Would not a loving God want to warn people about eternal realities? Wouldn’t God want to reach atheists, criminals, drug addicts and prostitutes before it is too late for them?
Another reason for the increase in these reports is the rapid advances in medical science, which has increased the number of people who have been revived after hear attacks.
So many Christians restrict themselves to Christian gatherings and activities, but Jesus was not like that and he is not like that today.
I have read a dozen books about Near Death Experiences and I love watching interviews and testimonies on You Tube. Please consider watching interviews with Randy Kay and John Burke.
Randy Kay himself left his body when his heart stopped for 30 minutes. He reports an encounter with Jesus before he returned to his body. In his You Tube channel, he interviews many people who have had similar experiences. Some have been clinically dead for much longer. Some have visited Heaven.

John Burke was a sceptical agnostic before he researched Near Death Experiences. He has interviewed more than a thousand people about their experiences outside their body, including visits to Heaven and seeing Hell. He has written books about these testimonies and shown how they confirm Bible teachings.
You can follow this link to John Burke's podcast where he interviews people who report Near Death Experiences.

Some Christians prefer not to look into these things. They may prefer a more intellectual approach. They may want to stick to more familiar, traditional bible teaching. But the Bible encourages us to look into heavenly things.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Col 3:1–2 NIV
