Have you ever had an experience that tells you there is a God?

Question

I'm not talking about something you were taught, or believe because you just happened to form an opinion. Have you ever actually seen, experienced, or felt something that you can't account for, other than to say there is a God? An event that convinced you?

Answer 1

my birth.

Answer 2

I asked God to please give me a sign. I asked for a live turkey as a sign of His being. No kidding. Within a couple of days I heard "gobble gobble". wow. Am I hearing a turkey? The sound was coming from the TV downstairs, and it was a live turkey on TV!
Another time I asked God to let me know if I was going in the right direction because I want to go to Heaven. I had a wonderful dream of an angel opening a curtain. She opened it as if to say "see?". As the curtain opened I saw a dot of white light very very bright. The dot got closer and closer, larger and larger, brighter and brighter. As it did this I was filled with the most beautiful feeling that words cannot describe. I was so full of this feeling I could almost pop. I was praising God. I woke up crying tears. It was a wonderful affirmation.

Answer 3

I would say it is a combination of events. When I trusted God with my life it was like a new life I never thought I would have. My income increased, I married beyond what I had expected, my children are most beautiful and well behaved, things seem to go my way most of the time. This all compares to a life without God which was full of drugs, empty, bankrupt, begging for food and lodging and just plain miserable.

Answer 4

Yes
I was sitting in Logic class listenning to a lecture on the Problem of Evil. Our professor had just shown us a proof that God didn't exist and was putting up the counter arguement that the Devil Existed and if the Devil Existed then God Must exist. I was struck by a revelation at that very moment, not only had I in that instant grasped logic inexplicably but I also spotted a fallacy in the equation. I raised my hand and told the professor that his argument was a circular phallacy that only proved that the Devil Existed

Answer 5

Yep, I had a pretty wild experience. One morning, my hand stiffened really bad and was stuck in a fist with my nails digging into my palm and I was starting to bleed a bit. I had to grab onto hairspray bottles to prevent further bleeding and because the pain was unbearable. Then my toes started to stiffen in a sort of ballerina-like motion. It felt like my feet was going to break off and again the pain was unbearable. To make matters worse, my knees started to stiffen in pain and I was unable to walk. I took a bunch of Advil, Tylenol, and even Vicodin to lesson the pain but nothing worked. 12 hours later, I was lying on the floor feeling like I was dying. Thinking it couldn't get any worse, my eyes decided to give up. I couldn't focus anymore and they kept moving back and forth really fast. And lastly, my tongue stiffened and I was unable to speak, I slurred a lot. I cried to God for help the whole time because every hour became more and more unbearable. After 24 hours, the pain went away miraculously. I definitely felt God's touch that day and everytime I tell people this story, it still brings tears to my eyes because I know my life was spared.

Answer 6

One experience that convinced me to really believe and know without a doubt that there is a God is when the devil tried to destroy me in many ways and by God's grace I have made it this far in life even though I am only fourteen.The devil tried to destroy me by a drive-by when I was only five and there were bullets everywhere and my twin sister and I were in the midst of it all with not a single bullet touching us. We are still alive today ministering to God's people through Gospel Mime.

Answer 7

Yes. When my daughter died, I was laying in bed grieving and I had a vision. I was not totally awake or asleep, but I went to a place where I was standing on a cliff and everything out from me and below me was black. The blackness felt thick and heavy and opressive (depression) and as I felt my feet slipping (falling into depression) I felt a hand in mine and looked up into the face of Jesus standing with me. But he wasn't the Jesus in pictures, he felt more familiar than that, like a brother and he said to me..."Don't worry, I have you and I will not let you succumb to this." And God has been healing my heart and showing me His love every day since then. And for you skeptics, it was one month BEFORE losing my daughter that I gave my life to God. It was when I stepped out in faith that He then proved Himself. God want's to heal your hurts too, you just have to invite Him to do it. Don't know how? ask me jhvnmt at yahoo dot com

Answer 8

My son was a victim of a hit and run on July 8th. By all accounts he should have been dead. All he sustained was a concussion, gashes in his forehead and knee, and cuts and bruises. Even before this happened I strongly believed in God. This incident has just reenforced that belief.

Answer 9

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
