     I am gonna approach this a little differently.  I don't have to actually tell you the date, God didn't tell me.  I have to be careful.
     I took a 73-year-old gentleman around on some errands.  I was gonna tell him about a miracle God did for me.  Funny thing, this man said something about God maybe not wanting miracles to be told.  I really thought maybe he didn't want to listen to a story - this guy loves to talk and won't shut up. 
     I really didn't get a chance to tell him because I got really sick.  God didn't want me to tell him, but why?  I felt really weak and slept a lot.  God is powerful! 
     I did delete this book, which was hard - the six deletion.  So this is the seventh book, interesting.  I deleted it on Aug. 27, a year since I began this journey.  I really didn't know the date at the time; I just felt I needed to delete it. 
     Getting back to this older gentleman, he still does drugs.  He is an admitted alcoholic but thinks drugs are ok.  He is into spiritualism but claims to love God.  He doesn't know anything about God, and I cringe every time he mentions God. 
     God is not about drugs.  I read about a guy thinking he got close to God during an LSD trip.  These are not good people and need to be left alone. 
     Should we try to help?  Most of these people are self-centered and don't listen.  This guy I mentioned is ate up, his mind I mean. 
     Yes, I lack understanding, but the Bible says that there are wicked people out there.  Speaking of the Bible, that is what is lacking in this book.  So I decided to include some Scripture -

     Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
                 2 Timothy 4:8

     This is interesting because God told me, "The Day of Righteousness is nearing."  In this verse, the words righteousness, Day, and righteous are mentioned.  Moreover, this Day is not just for Paul, it is for everyone who believes Jesus is the Son of God. 
     You have to repent, also.  Repenting, to me, is changing your lifestyle; trying to please God and making an effort - God knows our hearts.  Baptism is a little different story.
     Many of us, myself included, were baptized as infants.  I haven't been baptized since and don't feel it is necessary, although I would like to get baptized in the Jordan.  Anytime you are baptized with the Holy Spirit is awesome, the sooner the better. 
     I was also saved as a boy.  God has always been with me.  I haven't always been with Him.  I did pray every night, but that isn't enough.  We need to be fully committed to God and not when it is convenient for us. 
     I just thought this verse was rather interesting and it is the tip of the iceberg.  I feel I am approaching this correctly.  I can tell you what God told me and you probably won't figure out the exact date.  Well, the closer it gets the easier it will be to figure it out. 
     Right now, I will give you hints through Scripture and see if you can figure it out.  Hey, I spent quite a while figuring this out - nothing is easy with God, you must work. 
     I will pray.  God will let me know, and I may delete this again.  The incident with the old man really scared me.  When I am weak, Jesus is strong; I need to remember that.  I will give you more Scripture tomorrow.
