I'm a man who offers proof that God, Satan and an army of angels walk the earth in human-like appearance. Read my epic tale of a modern day disobedient prophet and vanquish any doubts you have about the existence of a higher power. I have been the recipient of numerous visits from God. When I was a boy I experienced my first encounter. I was very pious and promised God that I would do anything that He asked of me. It was during one of these prayer sessions on my knees amidst the most beautiful, warm, sunny morning that God showed His face. He walked directly up to me in my own back yard. He sternly announced, "I am God. I want you to become a teacher " I boldly inquired, "How do I know that you're God?" The world instantly disappeared. I found myself surrounded by complete blackness and suspended in space. I was terrified. God repeated his edict. But I closed my eyes tight and stubbornly exclaimed, "No, Name something else. I want to be a writer." How is it possible that with undeniable evidence of God's power I could defy the Almighty Father? Even as I was stricken with fear I tried to bargain with Him. I held no desire to become a teacher and couldn't understand why He would make such a demand. My dream seemed incompatible with God's will. Unbelievable isn't it? How could anyone possibly refuse the Sovereign Creator with tangible proof of his omnipotence? Discerning God's will for your life can be an arduous task. Some Christian men attempt to depend on prayer, the bible, guidance from the Holy Spirit and advice from mature Christians to discern God's will for their life - and still end up clueless. I had a direct word from the Lord Himself. What a blessing but sadly wasted on me. Why did God take such an unexpected and surprising interest in me? The only way I can now answer that question is to turn my stubborn disobedience into an example for others to learn. But the Lord would never give up on me and my obstinate nature would never seem to abate. If anyone was in need of unrelenting attention it was me. Our primary purpose on this earth is to glorify God. You do that by inviting God's son into your heart, confessing your sins and doing your best to live a holy life regardless of your social and economic status. This certainly includes becoming obedient to God's will in our lives. The price for disobedience compounds like interest. On another occasion fifteen years later He walked behind my work station and addressed me as: "Jonah." I was tipped off by a co-worker that he was claiming to be God. I chased him to the end of the line and ranted and railed against this obvious impostor until He gave me a definite awareness of His identity. I asked the Lord if it was o.k. to be gay because I had experienced same sex attractions. "You need to be committed," He replied. The full implication of this resolution was nearly lost when I responded, "You need to be committed You're the one claiming to be God " Finally He added, "You're like my son." Do you have any doubt concerning the inference? Jesus Christ is gay. And why should it matter? It's not a sin to be tempted. Have I discerned an inconvenient truth based on a direct encounter with God? What greater evidence do you require? Decide for yourself. How ironic it is that Christ was both Jewish and gay - the two most reviled and persecuted minorities in history. What did God look like? He appeared as a very tall large man with big hands and seemed mature in years with thick white hair, a broad face and weathered skin. Hi attire varied from casual blue jean or a wind breaker to a blue dress blazer. His disposition varied from a smiling benevolent Friend to an angry Master of the universe. I saw tears in his eyes and I touched his feet which were as strong and firm as steel. I asked Him how a loving God could condemn his beloved creation to an eternal hell? His answer: "You didn't see what they did to my son."
