Approximately 30 yrs ago, I was very depressed and despondent. I decided to take my own life. I overdosed on pills and booze. When they rolled me into the ER, I heard them say that I was DOA. When the doctors started working on me, I floated above my body and watched everything they were doing to me. I watched them use the paddles on me and give me an adrenaline shot to my heart. I felt nothing, and then as if by mental telepathy, I heard this voice behind me, and I turned. There in a white robe was a faceless person, telling me I could stay or go with him. There were no words spoken, only by mental telepathy. There was this bright light, the brightest I have ever seen and it was so beautiful there and peaceful. It was so quiet too. Well, 3 days later I woke up in ICU and my mother was there and I asked her immediately if they had gave me an adrenalive shot to my heart and she said yes. It was then that I knew God had spoke to me and saved my life. It was such a glorious feeling!!

I can't remember a first time, there would be several times. I was raised in a Catholic family, went to Catholic Schools, so i guess, i was already exposed to Christianity from the start that i don't have that 'turning point'.
This is an experience, a week before the board examination in 2002, the last week of July, at mass, i prayed long and hard to God. And as a child that we all are, I asked God for a sign to guide me. That if i am to pass that exam meaning i should take it, have anybody give me anything white, and that if i will fail, meaning not to take it yet, have anybody give me anything blue. At that same moment, a girl in a white shirt and jeans came to me and passed a paper for a group prayer and worship they are having. The paper was white and the print was in blue. I know it could just be a coincidence. But, it's great how wonderful God works.
Anyway, i passed the exam. And i also realized that God answer all our prayers in either a yes, a no or a maybe. I believe He gave me a sign. Not a sign to take or not to take, but a sign that in either decision i make, He will always be there and i won't be judged because i fail or loved better because i passed. He will be present always and love me always, no matter what.

I'm not a "mature Christian" but God has spoken to me many times. The most recent was a few nights ago. I was sitting in bed praying very late at night because I was troubled and could not sleep. I felt a love wrap around me and the voice was not like our voices, it was heard inside, it spoke to me within. I felt tears come down my face that I could not control even though I was not sobbing. I don't remember laying down and falling asleep but I did afterwards, but when I woke, that presence is all I could recall.

November 1997. I was in college, and I went on a weekend long retreat with my campus ministry. During this weekend, I was able to feel the presence of God in my soul. I really don't know how else to describe it. All I can say is that I was forever changed after this experience.

I had just separated from my husband. It was a dangerous relationship, with abuse. My husband didn't know the Lord.
I came back to God, after the separation, after I had been away from Him for over 30 years.
One night, I went to bed, crying, and went to sleep. At 2:00 a.m. I woke up. Alert, wide awake.
I heard the audible voice "you are where I want you."
Unmistakable, clear, precise.
I felt the surge of the Holy Spirit, and I just layed there, staring at the ceiling.
So, I began to study, search, seek, and now, I teach. Yes, I am where He wants me.

We hear his voice down interior. no longer our strategies. Years in the past I heard interior to go away a development i replaced into working in. It replaced right into a save I had rented for my business enterprise. I hesitated for a minute, then it " felt" superior. I leaft and as I have been given around the line the front window blew around the line. A boiler blew up. Their have been people who have been instructed to no longer visit paintings on 9/11 at they worldwide commerce midsection.people who listened and obeyed lived, people who did no longer pay attention , died.you will desire to be gentle to His voice to appreciate the adaptation. that occurs all of the time to the mature believer.all of us understand his voice because of the fact all of us understand His notice.

For me, it was the day I got saved. He didnt speak to me, but I felt him. I was compeled to go forward in church, but I did not want to move, people were looking around, and I was embarrased (I was 15). But the urge was to great, and as I moved from my seat down the aisle, I didn not even feel my legs moving, I was walking, but it was not as if I was controlling myself in anyway. I believe God, or the Holy Spirit was leading me down that aisle.
I have never heard God speak to me, but I feel it often, when I find perfect peace, and have not done it on my own.

I heard Him call me when I was small. As I got older, I backslid terribly for quite some time. After my first child was born, I was sitting in the nursery saying to myself, "well, we have a house for her, clothes, food, etc" then God asked me "What are you going to do about her soul?" Honey, I did a real quick turnaround!

I was VERY depressed. Life was awful. Long story, child sick, dad died...
I asked God to take my life. I heard, in my head, "But I have great plans for you!"
REALLY!
