I've heard of this happen to some children even I have known (relatives they couldn't possibly know about, visitations, conversations, games, etc).
It can really only go on at a young age...
Ages between 2-11. The beginnings and ends of the scale being the weakest times.
Keep this to yourselves and don't tell anyone else.
Let this child experience what he can while he's able to physically...
Childhood is a precious time. Don't ask him too many questions, don't feed into it too much, and keep your emotions to a minimum around him, just be positive and happy... and let him have his time.
Quoting: Mister Obvious I guess I have heard similar "ghost stories" involving either children or, curiously, pets, but for most of my life, the rational part of me struggled to give these stories credit in that absence of any hard evidence. I guess that is a struggle with all questions of faith, but perhaps more than most people, I usually embraced the skeptical viewpoint.
But the skeptic in me cannot explain any of this. There is no question of the credibility or sincerity of the author of the story. Daniel is speaking absolute truth, at least as he views it, which makes this more real to me than some fact in a reference book someplace about the speed of light or the atomic weight of some substance.
So if I accept that his experience is truth, than I have to accept that absolute certainty of a conscious afterlife, the certainty of something that can reasonably be described as a heaven, and the certainty that I will see Mug again someday. It is an amazing thing, and I am still trying to internalize it, to realize that questions that were so often fuzzy, unresolvable questions of faith are, for me at least, looking to be rock solid.
If there's a heaven as described in the Bible, one must also consider that there's a hell.
Please watch
So you can then make it to heaven. Start off by saying the sinner's prayer below, with sincerity. And find a good church, get water baptized, and live a life good life according to the Bible.
Say this with all your heart, and mean this sincerely:
Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved.
Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself.
Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life. Amen
