I have several examples. Billy Graham. I got through the grape vine he was outside his wife's room when she was sick and praying and crying and people came up to him and wanted to be prayed for and he did and acted glad to do it. Also when it became public knowledge about some anti-semantic statements he made in oval office to Richard Nixon he said he was wrong and regretted the remarks and didn't deny or cover up.
Martin Luther King The I Have a Dream Speech. No one could possibly show a willingness to reconcile with people who have persecuted African Americans with out some devine intervention. He made more things happen with that positive message. His being so right in the way he pursued equality made it obvious to all that racism is wrong.
I like Charles Stanley every time I watch him I grow in the Lord he is a great teacher.
Mother Teresa an example of selflessness for today.

None because John gave this warning, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit but be testing the spirits if they are from God or not because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
As the Lord Said, "Search the Scriptures for in them you will find life and me." John 5:39 If you embrace God's Word, there is no room for any doubts. It is so important that true Christianity should build the hope of there salvation on knowledge of God made and not man made.
There are many different denominations, religious movements, cults and isms of all kinds.
God did not send them they are not speaking His word but still they accept the teachings of men rather than the teachings of the Bible.
There are many who are speaking in the name of God but they are not of God and these kinds of things do show us how powerful the lie can be.
We can be misled and can sincerely believe a lie and also show us how gullible people we can be.
Many have fallen away from the truth because they are misguided to believe in the false doctrines of evil men that have corrupted God's truth.
Jesus is telling us that we have power over these evil men because of the one who lives in us is greater than the one who is in world.
True Christians have a common fellowship around the truth because it is written, "My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me." John 10:27
Jesus says that His sheep will follow Him, will follow the truth John 14:6, and they will not follow a stranger speaking contrary to the truth.

My influence came from Zodian knight Marianne Williamson, into whom her works of art and literature have inspired to accept my religion as it is and not by what others see in it. You ought to be a spiritual person someday.
