You have a big surprise coming. It is about you, not me, so read through this message. First, this letter from my brother:
Dear Joe,
I encourage you to tell your story more fully. I believe that is what we are supposed to do. I grew up like so many others thinking that “witnessing” and “testimony” was talking people into believing in Jesus. But look at those words. They are legal terms. When you are a witness in court, when you give testimony, they don’t ask you if you think the defendant is innocent or guilty. They ask you what you saw, what you heard, what you experienced. Then the jury decides for itself, based on the testimony of all witnesses.
So that’s what I believe witnessing for Jesus is. Just telling your story. We should all tell our experiences with Jesus and how he has affected our lives. Then let people decide for themselves. And it’s powerful. When someone hears one person after another tell how Jesus has made their life better, they can’t help but consider it.

Many of you readers have mentioned this once or twice. Some of you who know me well tell me often that I should write more about myself and our family. I thank you for your interest and I have been listening.
I have deliberately not written about myself or my family very much. The thoughts of readers should not be about me/us, but about the spiritual matters of Heavenly Father YAHWEH, Son JESUS, and HOLY SPIRIT. Two weeks ago a woman seated behind me in church tapped me and, when I turned around, asked me if I wrote the God talks and acts today messages. At the end of our conversation, I asked her to not point me out to people or they would focus on me when their attention should be on what God is doing.
The messages have been meant to build your faith. Please read these website message links again now: #153 Yount Family Miracles and #271 Miracles For You which are about miracles in two families. If you have read all previous messages and reviewed these two again, you may be ready for our family miracles and still focus on YAHWEH, JESUS, and HOLY SPIRIT.
Miracles in our family are not the big surprise to you. The big surprise is that we expect miracles. You should expect miracles also IF you are CHRISTian as the Bible says, not just as you think. Miracles are a promise to real CHRISTians.
BIBLE VERSES ABOUT THIS (Amplified Bible)1Corinthians 12:9-10 refer to “powers of healing” and “working of miracles”
1Corinthians 12:28-30 refer to “wonder-workers” and “ability to heal the sick”
