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.

When my daughter was born we found out that I had gotten virus called CMV. Everyone gets it some time in there life and it just causes flu like symptoms but causes problems when women get it during pregnancy like I did. She was born a few weeks early with a low birth weight smaller than normal (not by much) head size one kidney smaller than the other. Not being able to hold her temperature. Then on top of all this hearing loss blindness and they said that she would be a vegetable. I can't say that I dropped to my knee's and prayed (not that I wouldn't have and I do pray for her night and day) No it was not like that. All the doctors were telling me all that was wrong and could be wrong. Any parent would be out of there mind right. Not me because I felt peace and he put it in my heart and I knew with out a doubt that She was going to be healthy. One by one all the problems went away and in a week I broght home my healthy little girl. She's 7 now and she does have a profound hearing loss. I know he has his reasons for that. My father tells me all the time pray and he will heal her ears and I tell him dad he has healed her don't you see.She is smart an active loves school Knows more sign language then do she is forver teaching me.LOL He don't understand but I do I know she is my gift I never gave God a second thoght before she came along I do now and ever night I thank him for her and ask that he watches over her. And i belive he does. As he watches over you and your loved one.

YES I've been helped by God! He saved my life from a very near successful suicide attempt. There is so much more to life than just the everyday hum drum world. God has a plan for all of us. That's God's purpose. I now have life and am living it more abundantly than ever. I have been set free by the power of the Holy Spirit. Anyone else in the world can be set free too. It's free for the asking.

yes
He helped through a simple verse he had recorded in his Scriptures.
That verse? 1 Corinthians 15:33 .."bad association spoils useful habits"
This was the very truth that empowered me and others to understand that, we should not maintain close friendships with people who (for me ) use illegal drugs.
For almost 30 years I had an on and off illegal drug use problem. AA, to me, was the most absurd thing I had ever seen. Really, though, I did not know how to stay drug free. It wasn't until a Jehovah's Witness showed me that verse that I realized how to get and stay off of drugs.
I broke off association with all of the persons related to my drug using life. By choosing to have friends who do not use drugs I know that God is happy.
I am not a Jehovah's Witness yet this simple Bible fact helps me right on down to today.
I have not been a habitual user since 1997.
NO 12 step meetings.

God helps those who help themselves (If you want God to help you with something, you need to believe in Him and believe in yourself). I pray every night and alot throughout the day, and generally I can feel God working things in my life. I've had God directly influence my life every day, both miniscule and somewhat major.
Once you really believe things change drastically and you generally have a feeling that there is another part of you, which seemed to never be there before, that makes you feel unbelievable.

Isn't that sweet. God has done so many generous things for me, but the thing I am most grateful for is that He saved my father before my dad died about a year and a half ago. Dad was 91 and did not believe...but God worked in his heart, and four days before he died, my sister asked him for the last time "do you want to accept Jesus as your savior?" Dad said yes, and meant it.
I know he is with the Lord, and I'm going to run to meet him, laughing in joy, on that Day.

God isn't a time-waster. he will in simple terms communicate to you rapidly, in a fashion you may "listen", if that's important and is not in basic terms a collection of Bible rates that you already know off by using heart. also, if He does it once, or perhaps two times or 3 situations, or perhaps TWENTY situations, He ought to nonetheless make certain that he's suggested all He needs to assert to you. And even as that occurs and it stops and also you do not "listen" Him back for years on end, it must be a lonely feeling. yet when that's what you extremely choose then ok i am going to desire so that you'll be able to adventure it. yet please do not forget that if it fails, that's not because my praying means sucks, it truly is because that's not meant to take position -- a minimum of not yet besides. in basic terms be warned although: He ought to not take too kindly for your spirit acquaintances (yet although He is general with them more beneficial valuable than you and He can tell in the adventure that they are extremely good or in basic terms pretending to be). word: God quite slightly in no way makes use of a precise voice that travels by the air and hits your eardrums, yet He can certainly make it sense like he's doing that. ^_^

Hi... I've been helped by God... I was blessed once (a few years ago) when I gave birth to my older son. I tried for 3 years to become pregnant (again)- with no luck. A (dear) friend of mine said "did you (try) pray to God?" I guess I hadn't thought of that... Well, in the days that followed, I found myself praying to God and thanking her for my first pregnancy. Do you know... in the very next month (or two), I became pregnant... and gave birth to another beautiful baby boy (again). I thank God everyday for my beautiful boys...
