Finding Proof of Jesus

By James L. Kearns

What if God spoke to you in an audible voice? What if you saw an image of Jesus Christ on the Cross in a mirror and it delivered you from demonic oppression? What if you had seen these great miracles? Would your life still be the same? What if you have absolute proof of the existence of God and you want to share that with the World? This book is designed to help you witness to others about the existence of God and how they can be saved. From the testimony of the author to the other seven great proofs for the existence of God, you will find many scientific answers to prove the existence of God and how to use them to witness to those who just do not believe, and even to the hardened atheist that will use straw men to trip you up in your witness. This is a book every Christian and non-believer alike should read and study!

About the Author

To the glory of God, and for my wife.

I, James L. Kearns, attest and affirm, under penalty of perjury and on my honor as a Christian, that the events in my life described in this book actually happened.

CHAPTER 1

My Testimony

It was on January 20, 1980, just a little after noon, that I started finding proof of Jesus. I was twenty-five years old. I walked forward to the altar in First Baptist Church in Orlando, Florida, and passed from death into life. Even in January, Orlando was sunny and warm, while in Ohio, where I was born, the winter still held its grip, and just recently the temperature had reached twenty-two degrees below zero. That was the reason I had decided to move to Florida.

Satan’s job was to destroy me. He failed! Now he is the failure, but I am not. I will not be so bold as to say that I am a success in the eyes of man, but in the eyes of God, I am. As you read on, you will find that through supernatural events, I was delivered from demonic oppression, and I found proof of Jesus.

I have determined that God exists, based on a number of indisputable and, from my own personal experience, irrefutable facts. You may say I am lying but to what end? I will tell you about incredible, amazing, and even supernatural incidents in my life that you may find unbelievable, but they actually happened. I will make the case for God from scientific facts that will show, without question, that God is real. When I speak of God, I am referring to Jesus Christ and that He has shown He is really God by rising from the dead and in other ways. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—there is no other God.

I first will offer my testimony, as it is true, verifiable, and irrefutable and puts my integrity as a person and a Christian on trial. Persons who choose not to believe my testimony must contest it first, before they can use science as a way to discount these truths. My testimony can be used in a court of law to prove a case. You can claim that I am lying, but unless you have evidence, you must accept the proof of my testimony. As it states in Deuteronomy 19:15, One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. There also are myriad witnesses who surely will testify that Jesus Christ is God indeed.

I was born at a very young age. (I like to start with that little joke.) I grew up in Ohio, in an area that was five miles from the nearest town. As a child, I had a lot of emotional issues because some physical imperfections caused me to withdraw and not be very sociable. I won’t dwell on my childhood but instead will fast-forward to when I was a teenager.

My parents were both great and worked very hard. My father was a master mechanic and could fix anything. We lived on a small farm and grew much of our own food. Shortly after high school, we lived at our own private airfield and I obtained a private pilot’s license. My father had a Cessna 170 for a number of years. I no longer have my pictures from that time, but the image below looks like a Cessna 170.

I built my own car, a Bradley GT kit car, shortly after high school. It was flashy red. If you Google Bradley GT, you’ll see that it really looks cool! I had motorcycles too—a Yamaha 350 and, later, a Yamaha 650, similar to the one shown here, except mine was decked out with all the goodies, even a radio.

Even a ’66 Mustang and a Mach 1

I had everything I needed as far as food, clothing, and other material things, I worked a regular job, but I was living at my parents’ home, so I spent all my money on stuff. But even with all kinds of material things, I was not happy. Something was missing in my life.

The house where I grew up

Here is where I will fast-forward to the time when I left nearly everything behind except my motorcycle and moved to Orlando, Florida.

I wrecked my motorcycle nearly every time I rode it. I came home scraped up—but not too bad—lots of times. Then one night, that changed dramatically. I was coming back from Ocala, Florida, on Highway 441 around 10:00 p.m., and it started to rain. The road was quite slick, so, predictably, I dumped the bike. I had crash bars on it, so it was not that bad until I tried to pick it up. The car behind me seemed a mile away, so I should have had plenty of time to get the bike going. A motorcycle, though, is very heavy in dead weight, and it would not start right away. Wham! I was thrown into the ditch, and the bike was totaled.

The ride to the hospital was a long one, it seemed. I was not badly hurt—only a few scrapes and bruises—so they released me that night. Still, it made me realize that if the car that hit me had been going just a little bit faster, I could have died. That was when I started going back to church.

I went back home, picked up my Bradley GT, and drove it back to the hotel where I was staying at the time. It was a sleazy fleabag of a place, but it was cheap. Although it had fallen into disrepair, Thomas Edison and other famous people had stayed there, back in its heyday.

I got a job and was doing okay. The church I started attending was near the hotel, and on January 20, 1980, I went forward and was saved under the preaching of the pastor there. That was the most important day of my life. I was baptized the following Sunday, and my life changed dramatically.

I have only done one thing of value in my life: I accepted Jesus. Up until that time, my life had no meaning.

You too can become a Christian and know for certain that when you die, you will go to heaven. Here is how: the Bible makes it clear there is only one way to get to heaven, and that way is by trusting in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation, repenting of your sins, and asking Him (praying out loud) to come into your life and save you from your sins.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God (1 John 5:13).

Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me (John 14:6).

Nothing you can do on your own will save you. All the good works you do are worthless.

For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8–9).

Trust Jesus Christ alone for your salvation! The only way you can get to heaven is this: you first have to admit you are a sinner, and be aware that you cannot save yourself.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin: and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Romans 5:12).

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us (1 John 1:10).

Repent of your sins, turn away from them and stop doing them.

Jesus said, I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish (Luke 13:5).

And the times of this ignorance God winked at: but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30).
