Open Your Eyes – Ken Ebright

I thought it was Florida, and a hurricane was striking Shiloh, Illinois. I found out later what had actually happened when a neighbor who came home and noticed the roof was gone on an apartment building across the way. I could see that building from the front window of my living room. It was apparent a tornado had struck that apartment building, and that was really scary.

In 2 King 6, there is a servant of the man of God that was afraid because the city was surrounded by an enemy army. That is where the following verse comes in:

“Then Elisha prayed, ‘LORD, open my servant’s eyes, and let him see.’ The LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” 2 Kings 6:17 (NCV)

There have been other times when I was afraid. A new landlord took over my apartment building, and they were not treating people fairly. They tried to force me to move into a new, more expensive apartment before the lease renewed or find a new place to live. They also wanted to charge me two hundred dollars more in rent. When they first took over, they said I could stay in my apartment as is, and I would not have to move.

When you go through hard times, open your eyes so you can see the Lord. The Lord has promised that He will never leave you or forsake you. You need to stand on that promise, just like the servant of the man of God and learn to trust what you cannot yet see. The Lord will be there for you through the worst of situations.

9-21-26 NOTICE: Gravity has produced great fruit in prisons. A few years ago, I was able to place 26,000 copies in 13,000 jails/prisons. Prison Alliance wants more copies and I am trying to raise money to place up to 25,000 more copies in prisons very soon. If you would be interested in donating to a project that has produced great fruit, please email. Printing 25,000 copies at once is less than $1.00 per copy. MIchael@faithwriters.com.

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist (Charlie Kirks mentor on the evidence for Christianity)

"I actually came across this book in prison and did not know if I would ever see it again. It absolutely changed my life. And although I am already short on rent, I am going to spend the money to get 10 of these books as sort of an investment in eternity. I hope that upon passing them out to those I feel need them, they will be convinced and more souls will be saved. God willing."

"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"James told me that originally he saw and read this book at the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo, NY. He told me that the book is amazing and had 6 signatures of men accepting Jesus as their Savior in the back before his." Email message from the spouse of an inmate who asked that 10 copies be sent to her husband in prison so he could share the gospel.

"I've now recommended and use your books extensively in my ministry at Oklahoma State University. My whole ministry team is using these and handing them out. We've had at least 4 people we can name who have come to faith in Christ as a direct result of reading the book, overcoming some mental hurdles and then really hearing the gospel from us with fresh ears. I'd like at least 300 "Gravity" books in my next order. Thanks again for a well-written book, now being used here in Oklahoma to win a new generation to Christ." Steve, The Navigators


"Recently, I have become increasingly aware of the battle that is raging in our culture, and the modern-day persecution of Christians that takes place every day in online discussions and on comment boards about a variety of subjects in which Christians are viciously attacked, ridiculed and scoffed at for expressing their views. A few weeks ago this reached a point where I was praying diligently and asking God to provide confirmation to me that I was, in fact, speaking truth, and to provide me with answers and materials that would help me fight this battle. One night two weeks ago, I was having dinner with a trusted Christian friend, I had shared this struggle and my faith that God would provide me what I needed. As we were walking back to my car, right there on the ground in front of my car was your book. I picked it up, and sensed immediately that this book was left there for me. I took it back to my hotel room and read the entire thing. It was literally as if God put all the information I had been seeking right there in one place, and left it at my feet. I have no idea who dropped that book there or whether they knew their purpose in doing so at that place and moment in time - but I have no doubt it was left for me by the Lord in answer to my seeking Him out in this way. I don't know what is next in this journey for me, but I do know that I will use the information in your book as I continue to share my faith with unbelievers. Your book has saved me hours, days, weeks, even months or years of research to find what you have put in one place. I cannot thank you enough! And I thought you might want to know that God is using your work to help me do mine. May God continue to bless you and your family, and may He continue to bless others through you." Lisa T.

"Just read your book for the second time and thought I would check out your website. Thank you for writing the book and opening my eyes. I thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciate what you have done. It was just what I was looking for." Dr. Steven Pray

"This book starts from scratch and then builds upon sound logic and evidence to prove to anyone that God does exist and that he created what we know as life. I personally have always known that a God exists and that was only strengthened when I went to medical school to become a physician. The world we live in is quick to dismiss God and many intelligent minded people eventually throw in the towel when they don't like what they see in the world around them. This book sparked a new interest in learning the truth about God. This book establishes the fundamentals of believing in God."

"Mike, I hope things are going well for you and your ministry. Your book continues to be a big hit with the inmates. I love how a well written and thought out apologetics can take away a person's intellectual excuses. Then they are faced with the truth of the gospel and what Jesus has done for each of us. This is what your book accomplishes and does it well. I've found old tattered copies of your book with inmates signatures in the back with the dates they made commitments to follow Christ. As always God bless you, your brother in Christ Gordon"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

Share Jesus Without Fear 
(Copy and print out for use.)

The steps to share your faith without fear – no confrontation. Pray and then get them alone.
Ask these five questions to help discover their personal spiritual condition.

Do you have any kind of spiritual belief?
To you, who is Jesus?
Do you think there is a heaven and a hell?
If you died right now, where would you go?
If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it?

Listen to their answers in a calm and open way. You are asking their permission to share Christ with the last question. If they say no, you can drop it – no confrontation. You have still done the work of Christ and offered the truth.

Here are a series of five Bible verses to ask the lost person to read aloud if you have their permission. Let them read them and remain silent. After each verse they read, ask them what it says to them. If they misunderstand, ask them to read it again until they admit the truth in the verse.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23 ESV

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 ESV

Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 ESV

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 ESV

if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.… Romans 10:9-10 BSB

Then ask them a series of five questions that summarizes the truth of the verses and lead the lost person to the point of decision.

Are you a sinner?
Do you want forgiveness for your sins?
Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you and rose again?
Are you willing to surrender yourself to Christ?
Are you ready to invite Jesus into your heart and into your life?

Lead them in the Sinner's Prayer if they are ready to make a decision. Stay in touch and get them discipled or connect them with a local fellowship or small group for future growth.

Use the Good Person Test to share your faith. It is very powerful. Go HERE.
