Response: The Great Evidence

I believe what the Bible intends because of RESPONSES that have been made by an invisible Someone, a Conscius that is aware of me "24/7" and Who is powerful to respond appropriately. Apparently this Someone wants me to believe in the Jesus Christ of the New and Old Testaments, that He is the promised Messiah and the Milta, God Who became incarnate in the person of Christ, the literal Manifestation of God according to the Bible.

I was just a stupid dork in a kindergarten level meditation class in Honolulu when I encountered a deceiving spirit, THE spirit who had influenced me over some years to get into occult studies and meditation in the first place. But there was also interest on a higher level by Someone else, the Conscius I mentioned. Somehow, unbeknownst to me and the deceiving spirit, that Someone was using the deceiving spirit to develop my spiritual abilities. Just at the moment in the meditation when the deceiving spirit was about to enter my mind, I could suddenly see the spirit plainly--what it was--and I understood what it was doing. Also unbeknownst to me, my mother had an army of fellow Christians praying for me at that time, and the Someone had responded to them by saving me. "Hmm," I thought to myself looking at the demon and the situation, "The world really is arranged like the Bible says it is, even though we don't see it . . . and I am going the wrong way!"

All that was enough of a miracle to convince me that there really is a God and that Jesus Christ IS His Son, because if that deceiving spirit was real, then the God it was deceiving me away from must also be real. THAT was self-evident from the existence of the demon. I noted in that first spiritual moment that my mind was being monitored by God. My thoughts and my life were watched and directed from above, without my knowing it. In a later incident, asking for the gift of tongues at church turned into a crisis when I found myself completely rejected of God. I sought to know why, and the Someone's response was a vision explaining the cause. It led me to repent, surrender, and submit, and the response to me was acceptance and baptism in the Holy Ghost.

Asked during a church service to think about what Jesus had done for me, I tranced and saw Jesus being scourged by Romans, carrying His cross, and going into shock from the pain and presumably blood loss. He was dying for me. Oh, how I wanted to trade places with Him! I heard, "If you died for your sins you would only be dead, for the wages of sin is death. You don't have a whole pure life to repay God for the whole pure life He gave you." Realizing my debt, I watched as Jesus was laid on His back--which was torn up like hamburger--and nailed to the cross. He turned His face toward me and said, AUDIBLY, "Come unto Me."

At a conference Charles Hunter asked me to compare my arms to see if they were the same length. My left arm came up short. Less than an inch, but short nevertheless. "Jesus, please make them the same length." At the exact moment Charles Hunter said that, I WATCHED my left arm grow out to match my right arm. On another night, I was psychologically quite stoked perceiving that all existence is actually the intelligence of God in form. Me, too. My neck and shoulder were in pain, and as I was lying down to sleep I casually remarked to the Intelligence, "You can heal me." I said it as an observation, for even my pain was His Intelligence. Before my head hit the pillow, all the pain was completely gone.

Stoked on God. I think that is a great place to be. How great He is! Do you think God was adequate to die for our sins, that He could do it fully, completely, to redeem us absolutely? If we are redeemed 100 percent by the suffering and death of Jesus Christ, aren't we actually redeemed 100 percent? Be stoked about it. For by it--if we believe--we are back to the day before Adam and Eve doubted God's words. That is a good time to be. Situationally, we are NOW returned to THEN. We can talk to God now and expect response, for He hears us. He sees us. He knows us. 24/7.
