Another question for Christians, something uplifting.?

Question

Can you share a time where either you yourself was led to Christ or you were able to lead someone else? Maybe we can learn something from eachother.

MR

Of course it was the Holy spirit, but people have guided people to the water, the spirit is what helps them to decided to drink.

If it were not for my sister and her husband I would not have realized that I wasn't really a Christian at the time. I thought I was because I went to Church here and there, but I had never excepted Christ as my savior. The spirit is what ultimately guided me to drink, but my sister and her husband guided me to the water.

Answer 1

I will share one of my husband's stories. (I am sure he won't mind.) He met a guy that was sick with malaria. (We are currrently living in Africa.) He told him, "I have never seen God heal, but I believe that He does. Can I pray for you?" The man said yes. My husband prayed and the man physically felt the presence of God on his body. A few days later, he called my husband and asked him to meet him and prayed to receive Jesus as his Lord.

Answer 2

I was in jail for contempt of court, and me and another christian would discuss God together and this one guy asked to be justified and reconciled (not in those words). He was a big guy and a constant problem almost like an ADD kid, a selfish, mischievious person, but his marriage was goin bad so earnestly sought help from God. The other guy and I led him in his understanding and eventually the sinners prayer. As he said it I inadvertantly put my hand on top of his head. It felt like when I became God's friend yet different kind of like a lightning strike of spiritual power. When it stopped he said WOW WHAT WAS THAT!. i TOLD HIM HE JUST MADE A NEW FRIEND, BUT INSIDE i WAS SAYIN TO MYSELF WOW WHAT WAS THAT! Anyway you know if you've been in jail that everyone was watching and pretty much new what was happening except the wow part which he and I talked of later alone. This guy literally became a new creature for everyone to see and I recieved a spirit boost. To make a long story short after seeing him changed a group wanted what he got and one night they and i did the same thing except no zap yet obvious changes they said and acted like and the guards were listening to us Came in divided us all up outside while they went in and searched for drugs. We were too high on the spirit to care. Edified yet. Grant county 1982 Wisconsin

Answer 3

I weighed 300 + lbs and was scheduled to have gastric bypass surgery. I came out of it fine and made it a full year without any complications. I then contracted a simple sinus infection and was given a new very powerful antibiotic. Long story short, I had an allergic reaction and could keep nothing down for months. I weighed 126 in october and by February I weighed 82 lbs and could barely pick my head up off my chair, much less take care of my husband and 2 small children. I almost died before I was finally given a feeding tube which I kep for many months. I am off the tube but still hovering around 100 lbs. I am supposed to gain back to the 120 region. My children 3 and 5 spent many evenings at bible school praying for me to get better. If God had not felt like they needed me more than he did at the moment I could have been gone and left my children with a huge void. I never take one minute for granted that I have with them as I know they are all God given. I will forever be eternally greatful for the reprieve that has allowed me to watch them grow into such fine young children. With Gods help I will be around for all of their triumps to applaud them and all their failures to comfort them. Praise be to God who is worthy above all else!

Answer 4

I was saved when I was 8. Did OK until hormones & peers took their tolls. Adolescence is pretty much a blur for me. :)

I came home from college one day to find my kids left alone while their Dad went out to get high, I realized I had better get back on the right track before it cost me more than I was willing to pay.

So, I threw him out, hit my knees, & stayed there for a few hours.

When I got up, I felt 30 pounds lighter, so much weight had been left at Jesus' feet.

I asked God to lead me where He wanted me to serve, followed His directions, & found the best church family a girl could ask for. We've been there for almost 3 years now.

Last month, I had the joyous pleasure of seeing my 6-year-old daughter come to Christ & be baptised. I fully expect my 5-year-old to make a decision within the year.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I am part of a very large family. When I became a woman of GOD, my family could not believe the change in me. I stopped cussing, and swearing. I became a better wife, mother,etc. My whole world changed (for the better). They all could not believe it ,but to make a wonderful long story short,they all became Christians, my 5 daughters, 1husband,1brother, his wife, and their 2 grown sons.Then another son-in law, and I am praying for more if it is the Lords will. Well that is a little of my story. I hope it will give some hope to others.

Answer 7

When the window of opportunity opens, you must take it right then.
I was a police officer, and had transported a prisoner to the hospital to be checked. He began asking questions and saying he wished he could changed his life. I told him, on his own, he could change little or nothing. But, with Christ, he could be changed immediately.
He wanted to know more. I called my pastor and he came to the hospital. The man prayed to accept Christ.
I had not seen him for several years. Then I found I was working with his sister. I learned that he became a pastor!
Praise the Lord!

Answer 8

Not exactly, but I do have a rather funny story (in retrospect) of teaching a Mormon how to pray.

We had been discussing religious matters on our breaks and lunchs for about a month, and I'd cornered him on a number of logical/theological issues, and so one day, he asked me if I had ever read part of the Book of Mormon and prayed about it.

"Yes," I answered simply, not wanting to take the arguement to that level.

"And?" he pushed. "Did you feel a burning in your heart?"

"Well, I don't pray like that," I explained. "I prayed to God to show me if it is true, and to provide me with three signs if it were true or if it were false."

Suprised, he asked, "So, what were the signs?"

"Well, first, I was flipping through the radio stations the next morning, and came across a news broadcast where they were talking about Joseph Smith being a crook before he became a prophet. That I figured to be sign one. The second sign was that a friend at school that I trusted, without my prompting and without knowing I was looking into the Book of Mormon told me how silly he thought the Book of Mormon was. The third sign was one I have learned to know that is God's way of telling me I'm the right track."

Perplexed, we parted ways for the day. He made some comment about going home to pray on the Church. Two weeks later he approached me and asked if he thought asking God to force him out of the Church would be an unforgivable sin.

"I don't think so." I answered. "What's going on?"

"Well, after we talked the other day about how you pray, I went home and prayed that if the Church is wrong, God would force me out. The next day my wife told me that if I didn't leave the Church, she was going to leave me."

"Oh." I answered. "I think that's not good."

He then went on to explain that it wouldn't be a great loss, as she was running arround on him and in debt to her drug supplier, but they had a son, and so he was going to try to work it out, and that our little theological debates would be on hold until then.

I've been very careful about who I teach to pray since then.

Answer 9

i completely rejected Christ when so much went wrong i my life and i was just to young to deal with it. when my Dad died i just rejected him completely. then i realized i was just living in a state of self pity, hated myself and my family and couldn't forgive my mum for all her untruths. i went from being a good student to never doing my work, drinking to much etc. then i started going to counseling but that didn't work.

then i turned to God again, i realised i would see my dad again, and that i was lucky to ever have a father who loved me for a short time while some of my friends fathers had rejected them from birth. i was able to talk to my family about my problems, understand my mums point of view on many subjects. i found help at school and passed my A-levels this year and am off to uni now.

at the end of the day i might be wrong about God but at least I've lived my life happy in the faith there's something after this

Answer 10

here it goes:
it was a sunday afternoon,5 years ago..i was in the cafeteria and suddenly i started asking my friend about her faith..and she told me she doesnt know where she would spend eternity when she dies...i told her about Jesus' love and what he did on the cross..He shed His blood for us,so we dont have to suffer no more for our own sins....and that started our weekly bible study...a few months after that,she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal saviour and Lord...
