George Foreman - Duel with Death - George Foreman's Testimony

Take My Life
George had always been very close and caring for his family, and when he learned his nephew George was hospitalized in a coma, he bargained with God to take his life instead of his 5-year-old nephew’s.
Previously George had given little thought to God being real. In March 1977, after George fought Jimmy Young in Puerto Rico and lost, he underwent the fight of his life.
Back in the dressing room he sensed he was dying and heard a voice say, I don’t want your money. I want you!
George’s intense spiritual struggle caused raised eyebrows in the dressing room because he started acting out according to the voice he heard.
He finally yelled, “Jesus Christ is coming alive in me!”
He told everyone he loved them and kissed them. They thought he was losing his mind, but when the episode was over George knew he would never be the same again. After that encounter George spouted love instead of hate and pursued God instead of a boxing career. He left boxing in 1977 never expecting to return, becoming a preacher and developing a ministry to troubled young men.

Because he changed from a Tyson-like bully to a founder of youth centers, help centers and community facilities. Because he walked a unique road, his search for answers and truth. Because he now realizes that it's not about what you preach but how you live. Because I just happen to like the unique person he is now. And yes, making a comeback aged 54 and champ again = impressive too

I always think that there's just no better conversion story than George Foreman. He was one of (if not) the meanest, baddest, hardest hitting, bullying boxers ever. An opponent with with a bible just angered him. So his born again experienced must have been so real powerful, dramatic and sincere, and loving as to change him from his former self to what he is now. I like how he once described himself. I'm a full time preacher that moonlights as a boxer.

Why? You do realize that Western people (and now only America) have been celebrating the life of a Jewish outlaw for the last 20 centuries? The man was a vagabond - no more the Son of God than those vagabonds in Afghanistan and Eritrea, who would detest America. Of course the man we call Jesus was a good man, but of course he wasn't remotely the son of any god, or goddess.

What brother Foreman is saying is the true love which embodies the greatest commandment of God, which is to love God with all your heart and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself ( Matthew 22:37-39).

Wow, there is so much to admire about this guy! As a boxer he was amazing with those thunderous punches, just watch him hit a bag is eerie, it's so devastating, and then to see hm now as the person he is now, outside the ring, as a preacher, as a human, its so amazing. I see how calm, gentle, loving, warm and glowing he is. He have a beautiful soul. It is beautiful to see a man to be this humble and warm, and to think what a devastating puncher this guy was, and perhaps still is. Truly admirable. I see his warmth and love, and myself sometimes I am quick to anger, sometimes I can be less compassionate. Sometimes I can be vicious, I don't like that. I wish I was more like George, what a fine human being.
