"Hello! You don't know me! I got your number from a friend of a friend of somebody's mother. I hope that was alright because I just had to tell you that what you wrote in one of your books saved my life!!! I am only 19, but I have been so depressed, living wrong for so long that I didn't want to live any more and had decided to end my life. I don't know how or why, but somehow that night I ended up at the house of people I hardly knew. Your books were there on a table. For some reason, I picked up Listen, Jesus Is Speaking and read it. I had a miracle!!! I felt Jesus' love pour into me and He saved my life!!! I just had to tell you!" |
I have continued to write what He gives me, but I don't print it in books, that was only for that time, or maybe not; only He knows. What an incredible lesson in obedience this is for all of us. When we hear His voice, we must act because, as I learned so dramatically through this experience, He has a reason and a purpose in all that He does, and life and death might be determined as a result of our obedience. Now I give away all that He gives me on the Net and my biggest joy every day is receiving mail and messages in my guestbooks from people whose lives He has touched with what He has written through me. It is my work for Him just as He said. It is also my greatest joy! Visit this site for links to all my writings: Lin |
"I'll do anything you say, Jesus, just tell me what to do. I want to make a difference for you." "You are my little writing sheep. I want you to write for me." "Write? What could I possibly write" Everything has already been written; there are millions of books about You on the market. Besides, I'm just a new little sheep in your fold; surely you must have lots of qualified people to write for you." "Write for me. My Holy Spirit will lead you. Write and print it in books. This is my work for you." |
That was early spring. All through that spring and summer He inspired me, and I wrote. Miraculously, He made it possible to print 700 books, 7 different inspirational pieces, 100 of each. Overflowing with faith in His awesome demonstrations of providing for this project, I planned a garden party and invited the public to come see the beautiful books that the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ had given me. Nobody came! Well, just a few, so I gave His books away, hoping people would read them. I was never sure anyone did. Then a friend took hundreds of them to give away at her Christian Women's Retreat. Two hundred and fifty books given as gifts, and nobody said a word about them, not to this day and that was over a year and a half ago. I continued to share them with anyone who would take them. I gave them to friends to give away too and they did, by the dozens. Nobody ever said one word about them! Not one person!! Not one word!!! Months went by, then more months. It was unbelievable to me. My disappointment was deep. "Not one comment from even one person, Jesus; not even one from all those books. How am I to understand? What am I to understand?" "Be patient, my child, wait upon the Lord." I waited and watched more months slip away. Finally, I put the few remaining books out of mind and out of sight into a back closet, too disheartened to do more with them. Eventually, I forgot all about my prayer for them too. |

As she was speaking, I was washed in unspeakable joy as my prayer for those books flashed across my awareness: "Dear Jesus, please, just use one book to touch one life. Just change one heart for you, just one, that's all I ask." |
In His inimitable way, He had those books prepared over a year ahead of time so that one of them could make its way miraculously through the hands of countless, unknown people to be exactly where He wanted it at just the right moment! |
