“Over the following months he baffled those close to him by constantly praising ‘the Lord,’ writing Christian songs
with titles like ‘Talking with Jesus’ and ‘Amen’ (the Lord’s Prayer set to music), and trying to convert
nonbelievers. He also called the prayer line of The 700 Club, Pat Robertson’s program. The change in his life
perturbed Yoko, who tried to talk him out of it. She reminded him of what he’d said about his vulnerability to
strong religious leaders because of his emotionally deprived background. She knew that if the press found out
about it they would have a field day with another John and Jesus story. John became antagonistic toward her, blaming
her for practicing the dark arts and telling her that she couldn’t see the truth because her eyes had been blinded by
Satan.

“Those close to the couple sensed that the real reason she was concerned was that it threatened her control over
John’s life. If he became a follower of Jesus he would no longer depend on her and the occultists. During long,
passionate arguments she attacked the key points of his fledgling faith. They met with a couple of Norwegian
missionaries whom Yoko questioned fiercely about the divinity of Christ, knowing that this was the teaching that
John had always found the most difficult to accept. Their
answers didn’t satisfy her, and John began to waver in his commitment.

Wow, that is powerful and wonderful, I hope it is true- God loves everyone, and is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance
