Answer 1

It was early when I felt the Savior's love...maybe about 8. As I got older I was getting a better understanding (17) but I didn't get fill with the Holy Spirit until 3 yrs ago. It has been an awesome journey! My bad has worked out for my good, as well the good working for my good. I thank God for all things.!

Answer 3

I always believed in God, but I didn't start living for Him until I was 42. At that time I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
No one actually led me in the sinners prayer, but it was by watching a very good friend of mine, and how she handled herself on a daily basis that made me want to be the kind of person she is. Several years later I told her how instrumental she was in making me come to God. She couldn't believe it.

So, you never know when someone is watching what you do, and how that might change their eternity. I try to live my life like someone is watching me as a Christian to see what I would do.

And, yes, the journey is well worth it. And I'm sure the final destination will be awesome!

Answer 4

I got saved when I was 9. My sister was 7 and we both got saved on the same day. I would say my parents led us to Him because they lived a Christian life and showed us that Jesus is real by their walk. My dad used to drink but when he got saved he stopped drinking and he had a major change in his life. I know Jesus is real cause He lives in me. Yes the journey has been worth it and one day there will be no doubt that it has been worth it. After all our heartache and pain the ones who are saved will get to see Jesus face to face. It will all be worth it. I am now a Pastors wife and I knew when I was little that I was going to marry a preacher. I love the Lord so much. He has been so good to me.

Answer 5

I was very young--6 yrs. old. I've known since then that Jesus if certainly real and living in me everyday. He directs my steps and leads me through every situation. I've had many miracles in my life and I know that the Lord is walking with me. I would never want to go back and do anything different--even though some trials were almost too much to bear--but I know that God only gives you what you can handle, as long as you give it all back to Him and let Him work it out. He is my best friend and my wonderful Savior. I am not worthy of Him and I am so grateful for His awesome love for us all.

Answer 6

I was 7 years old. I was in church and the preacher gave the invitation. My older brother said "you all haven't asked Jesus into your heart, you need to do this"
I was scared to go up to the alter because I was a very shy child. I prayed silently to God in the pew and asked "Should I go up" and I heard a simple "Go". I went up and I remember feeling so good after church. I skipped all the way home. At 7 years old I still remember the joy I had felt.

I had wandered away when I was a teenager, but became born-again at the age of 19.

Answer 7

All through my life I had inclinations of a higher being. I was raised in the church but that did not cause or make Him real to me. It was my own experiences in life and looking back and seeing the many times he had grace with me and saved my life. It was after thirty seven years of backslidding after getting save at 9. I finally got sober by His touch and when I did it was no looking back. I had been under the influence of substance and sin for most of my life. After much pain and problems, I was on a huge drunk and drug trip in NYC and New Jersey. It was more then enough consumption to kill me but I had already had three near death expeiences from overdose. I woke up on a Monday morning after going to bed with a handful of morphine to a totally clear head and under the full anointing of God. It was scary because I was not sick and I didn't feel as though I had ever had a substance in my life. I was totally delivered in my sleep. Yes God decided He had enough and He touched me. I have never had the desire from that day to this, over fifteen years to use anything that has not been perscribed by a doctor. I became ordained in the Baptist persuasion, but have since become more of a Holy Roller, you might say. I believe in the Gift of the Holy Spirit and all that comes with it. I know you can be healed of terminal illness, even in your sleep, if God decides to do it. With me He did and I believe it was because of the people that were praying for me. I was open to the cure and I knew that it really happened over two thousand years earlier at the cross. Praise God I have been operating in the Spirit of God for over 15 years and He uses me on a daily basis. My only job is to stay willing and ready. I would never suggest doing it the way I did. if i had known God the way I do now, back in the day I would have never done anything to disrupt or break the connection, willingly.

Answer 9

I was a diehard catholic before, it is only when a preacher comes to me and explain who Jesus was and began reading the forbiden book "The Bible," and through researches, I come in contact with Jesus. Now, I believed in the saying, Sometines Jesus is caught rather than taught. At the age of 25 I accepted him as my Lord and Saviour and still continue to know him personally.

Answer 10

I was 34.

I accepted his sacrifice because I came to know him, and realized that I had no resources of my own when standing before God.

Numerous people pointed the way--a friend or two, a book or two--but who really led me was God himself.

Um, yeah, it has been worth everything.
