This was written to a man that I knew through golf. He objected to my email about faith.
Hi Len,
Thank you for writing. I realized when the email was sent that most receivers would delete it, probably even before they had read it all. I remember some good times playing golf with you. I recall looking at your carvings. Thank you for your kind remarks about computer help. I was one of the early adopters of computers in business and was regarded as an expert in those days. But since, technology has passed me by. I spent many hours helping people at no cost to them. Now I just try to pass on things that I have learned in using the computer that I think will be helpful. This is done not to gain any recognition which I simply do not care about, but because I love people.
I am not sure whether anything about faith has been sent to you, but I have sent hundreds of messages to others in the past four years. In February 2004 I was given a startling awakening from a sound sleep and was shaking uncontrollably and could not see because of being blinded by a bright light. After recovering, I realized it was a message from God and it came from reading the first part of the book “Heaven Is So Real” by Choo Thomas. This book was written under the daily guidance of Christ. I know Choo very well now and talk to her weekly. She is a modern-day prophetess of the Lord. Before this startling event in my life, I had paid no attention to Jesus except at Christmas. This awakening caused me to pledge my life to the Lord and sent me on a quest to bring the message of Christ to others. Christians are commanded to do this. I do this because I love people and want them to know what I know. I am nobody special but I have to share what I believe with all my heart.
I realize that the majority of the people in the world do not believe that Jesus was the son of God and the Messiah. Most people do not believe that the Bible is the word of God, but I do. Yes it was written by men, obviously. But it was written of visions given to men by God. Also much of the New Testament was written by men who personally knew Jesus and walked with Him on this earth. They witnessed the miracles of healing that He performed. Much of the New Testaments was written within the first fifty years of Jesus’ crucifixion while His apostles were still alive.
Going against the majority in the world is no reason in my mind not to try to tell them the story of the Lord. If they choose to ignore it, there is nothing I can do about it. I have no power to change a person; only God can do that if He wishes to do so. So I am not now embarking on a quest to convert the world, just trying to do what the Lord has commanded me and all Christians to do. And this is not a new quest for me; I have been working hard on this for four years.
So thanks for writing Len, and I do not expect anything that I say will be convincing, but I pray that you will at least give it some consideration. If ever there is anything you want to discuss, I will be most happy to share time with you. Your friend, George
