Dear brother Chris, I can feel your thoughts about me and your issue to believe or not to believe - I'm very happy to feel your heart trying to argue with your brain "-Brain - this true. if you don't believe, feel"

About the people around you, I know you have some issue and maybe I can help you with some explanations.

I understand absolutely if your nearest people are doubtful because who should believe if some day you get a comment from a person who say that he is Christ, next step for you is to give me questions.
There is of course no question that I can't answer, but the most important is if you are prepared for the answer. Sometimes I answer with love and sometimes with frustration, but it's only those two kind of answer you will get from me, when I answer with frustration is there a purpose for that - you will understand that after a time.

Please be careful who you are talking with because this time I don't want to hurry as i did in Jerusalem.
