Dear alwight,
You are forgetting that I've had more than 3 visits from angels, two visits from the Lord God, and a number of visions, and visits by the Holy Ghost. God has already proven Himself to me because I believed in Him first. I almost died during the first visit from Him. I was having a heart attack and didn't know where to turn, and I thought to call a doctor, but figured he would not be able to get to my house in time. Then I thought to call in my mother, but figured what could she do to help me. Finally, I had no where else to turn and I prayed to God to please let me live so I could tell my family and friends about all that was happening to me. Suddenly, a commanding, loud, clear voice filled the room and said, "Calm yourself, and think of those you love." I knew it was from the Lord and I figured I'd best obey Him, in order to live. That is all I will say of the matter. It is too lengthy to explain the whole thing to you. Like I said, read it in my book that is FREE online.
I do have newspaper articles, a copy of a letter that I wrote to a New York Daily News reporter saying that God would send 7 inches of snow upon his Daily News Bldg. within 48 hours of his receiving my letter telling him so, so that he would know God was really with me. Well, it happened, and he was petrified. I have an eyewitness of that account also, from the girl I was living with at the time. The newspaper reporter asked me what did I want and I told him, a 3-hour interview. He gladly consented. I have copies of my letter to him and also a copy of the snow report.
Alwight, He won't just measure you on one lifetime, but instead many. You don't know what is going on behind the scenes. If you don't believe in God and Jesus this time around, maybe you will in the next lifetime. It does say in the Bible "and the rest of the dead shall not 'live AGAIN' until the thousand years were fulfilled." See Rev. 20:5. So there is another chance at it all. But it will be harder then. But if that's what you wish, then by all means consider not believing in Him now and risk your last chance later. So you see, He is not just judging you on one lifetime at all. You just think He is. You are wrong.
Well, Al, simply assume that you are wrong instead of right and you will be halfway there. Jesus was more than a mere man. He is your Savior and you'll find that out sooner or later. I've been praying to God and Jesus for you, and if you aren't saved now, hopefully you will be saved later. But it is cutting it close when you wait for the very LAST chance to believe in Him. Jesus could do miracles that you nor any other man could do, so He was more than a mere man. You just don't KNOW that YET. There is so much going on behind your back, that you would not believe it Al. There's Christians who don't know, so should I be surprised that you don't know either? Don't fret so. If you don't want to go to Heaven now, perhaps you will get the chance to later. I'm not trying to rush you. I'm just saying is that I surely wouldn't be the one who waits until the last minute. There is some reason I am drawn to help you, and I suppose that God has His Eye on you to save you. When that will be is His decision. I do know that He loves you. Go figure. You just hang in there, Al. Things will make sense in the long run.
Cheerio, Mate!!
Michael
