Is Heaven Real?

I’m reading a book recently. No matter how tired and sleepy after a whole day’s study, I still insist reading it, even just a little bit. The book’s name is HEAVEN IS SO REAL, written by Choo Thomas, a housewife in a traditional family. It introduces some shocking and amazing stories that how she saw the real God and followed it to visit hell and heaven. The language is so simple and plain that I believe everybody could understand; meanwhile, the esteem and the obedience are fairly strong between the lines. I guess that’s why God selected her to put down what it said to alarm and save more souls.

According to my Chistian friends, what happened on Choo Thomas is called “manifesting”. Last Sunday, what I heard in the church seemed to seal this truth. Pastor Kong invited those who once considered committing suicide to come to the front. When all the people were praying, one of ex-suicides reacted strongly—she cried at the top of her voice. As pastor Kong prayed harder and harder, her cry became scary scream and it seemed that she could not stop. I felt frightened. But my Christian friend Qiaoyi told me later that it was quite normal and she herself had experienced once before. Yesterday Qiaoyi sms me excitedly that in SOT she entered a strong supernatural world under Pastor’s guide, and she described that holy feeling thoroughly.

Many of my friends avoid interacting with Christians, because they’re not sure whether those people are cheating them. In my opinion, however, there’s no need for them to cheat; it’s just like that they know a nice cup of wine and they want to share it with more people. Most people who believe God are not irrational; many of them are even high intelligent persons, like enterprisers, teachers, even scientists. What’s more, the globe is so big, but why Christians in different areas encounter the same manifesting? Maybe this proves a common sense again that what you cannot see doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

I admit that I’m swinging and prone to God. What I have seen and heard about “manifesting” are reducing my doubt on God; nevertheless, I haven’t encountered those on my own, so it is hard to eliminate all doubt. Say, if it is true then what about the theory of evolution? The knowledge about the origin of species I first accepted took root too early and deeply in my mind, even though the probability of the fantastic coincidence is almost zero. Thinking about da Vinci’s final surrender to Jesus, I’m hesitant. Is that because he could not explain some defect in his theory, or because he finally perceived that Holy Spirit is actually the designer who conducts all the evolution?

I’m confused now.
