Oprah's Jesus Christ Letter a Sign From God About Presidential Run?

Oprah Winfrey heard from Jesus Christ recently, and her best friend Gayle King wanted to know if it was about her presidential run.

But Christ, an 83-year-old woman from Waterboro, Maine, told WGME-TV that she just sent the letter to the media mogul because she liked her and claimed she didn't even know about the buzz about her possibly running for president.

Christ told the television station she legally changed her name almost 50 years ago and started writing letters in an attempt to a spread a message of faith, peace, and priorities. She told WGME-TV that she was surprised this one is receiving so much attention.

Calls for Winfrey to run against President Donald Trump in 2020 went into high gear after a speech during the Golden Globe awards when she used an acceptance speech to talk about sexual harassment and abuse issues.

Winfrey had repeatedly said that she was not planning to run for president, telling Lin Manuel Miranda in a live chat in February that she was not interested, according to CNN.

After being asked about running for president from the public and her closest friends, Winfrey told People magazine last month that she needed a sign from God for her to a step toward elected office.

"I went into prayer," Winfrey said, according to People. "'God, if you think I'm supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it.' And I haven't gotten that."

After that, Christ's letter came to Winfrey's Oprah Magazine headquarters in New York. King, cohost of "CBS This Morning," posted the letter on Instagram.

"My asst @jznotthatjayz w/letter that just arrived @oprahmagazine. Hey @Oprah is this the sign you’re looking for?? swipe left for return address...."

Christ said while politics wasn't the point of her letter to Winfrey and didn't know the talk show host and actress was looking for any kind of sign, if she ran, the media mogul would have her support.

"If she does I'll vote for her," Christ told WGME-TV. "That's for sure."

Christ told the television station that faith has been a big part of her life

"God and the Bible. I try to live every moment of my life under God's will" she told WGME-TV.
