Both flights took off at the same time, the one to Pittsburgh that I would have been on and the one to Cleveland that I was on. And I rent a car, I get dinner, I get back in the car, I'm going to drive down to Canton or whatever it was, and I turn on the radio and that other plane had crashed. Wow. That was the 1994 crash in Pittsburgh of the US Air flight that killed everybody on board.
I think about that and I go, was that God impressing on me that, you know what, I don't want you on that flight? Or was that just me saying, you know, it's US Air, I don't like them as much or whatever. I think it was God. I think it was God protecting me.

What I typically do in my prayers in the morning is at the end, I say, Lord, I'm just going to stay still for a few minutes. And if there's something you want me to know, if you want to communicate something more directly to me, I'm open, I'm in a posture of receptivity, and I just spend a minute or two in that posture and most of the time, nothing.

But then every once in a while, there's this impression about something. And I remember when I was in, I was a journalist at the Chicago Tribune, very successful in what I was doing, and I felt God was starting to call me out of that into, after I became a Christian, into the staff of a church at a 60% pay cut. And- I remember that too.

You're gonna have to tell me three times for this. But those are the moments that you're receptive to that kind of thing. I think to take the initiative to say, almost like putting up an antenna and saying, God, I'm here, I'm waiting, I'm listening. And if you don't have anything for me, that's fine. But if you do, then please,

That's a good example, too, of how we evaluate whether or not it's God really speaking. It's to go to a brother, to go to a sister, a fellow believer, and say, hey, what do you think? And to have you say to him, no, no. And by the way, he didn't listen. Yeah, well. Usually don't. But the demonic world is real. And I have a chapter on my book. I tell the story.

This is really amazing about the reality of the demonic world. There's a guy named Richard Gallagher. He's a psychiatrist. So he's a medical doctor as well as trained in psychiatry. Ivy League trained. He was a professor at several major, very influential elite institutions in the Northeast.

I have a quote from the president, former of the American Psychiatric Association, saying this guy is a total man of integrity, total man of credibility. I mean, just this is a great, great human being. And he and his wife had two cats. And they loved each other. They slept together. They were always together. But one nightβ They went nuts on each other.
