From one perspective I place very little stock in out of body, near death experiences.

However

I have had enough patients share some interesting stories....

I have decided there just may be something to them, but I don’t waste too much time on them because there isn’t anything in Scripture one way or the other.....

Best regards my FRiend

I think a minority of them seem to be contaminated with New Age deception stuff. But I have observed that to be a very small minority of them.

I have found the vast majority of them to be quite Biblical AND EXCEEDINGLY EDIFYING, ENCOURAGING AND CONTRIBUTIVE TO A CLOSER WALK WITH GOD in my life and in the life of my clients.

Certainly the individuals involved end up with an enormously closer walk with God. That alone is quite confirming, imho.

I hasten to add . . . they don’t always fit

PRECONCIEVED, BIASED, NARROW, RIGID NOTIONS INTERPRETING every detail of Scripture.

But the Pharisees had it all memorized and still didn’t have a clue about Scripture. So such things don’t bother me.

In this particular case, I’m sure there’ll be a hew and cry if such listen to both interviews.

The interviewer asks the Grandma what is going to become of the granddaughter. This is so extra-ordinary—God must have some special plan in store for her. And the Grandmother calmly replies that the 7 year old grandaughter knows she is going to be a woman preacher/pastor but that she knows she’s not ready yet.

I have no problem with that. The Scripture about no male nor female/ Jew nor Greek etc. covers that sufficiently for me as doe the female prophetesses in the NT.

But I’m sure a lot will have that stick in their craw because of Paul’s one statement about women—evidently not interrupting service to yell to their hubbys to explain what the speaker meant.

Anyway—

my 2 cents.

Thanks for your kind reply.
