Shortly after my Ordination, I anointed a 14-year old who was in a deep coma. The Sacrament of Holy Unction.
Three months later, she was still in a coma and was not expected to come out of it. I celebrated a Healing Mass at Noon on a Wednesday....her parents and grandparents and my wife were all there. I had a vision at the altar that she would be O.K.
The vision was at 12:30 P.M.
At 12:30 P.M. that same hour, she woke up.
That was eight years ago. She is 22 now, out of college and has a career in advertising.

An answer to prayers, an event that would not usually happen; not water into wine but comprehendable events. The experience of something I never experienced before I tried Christ Jesus; something you can never feel when you take no notice of your spirit. Hope that is a "single most powerful experience"! It is divine thus it can not all be explained but if you try it, you will know there is a God. Psalm 34:8.

i've been through having an adulteress for a mom, being sexualy harassed, have to deal with being an emotionally neglected step-daughter, have to bare with the gift of knowing(can't explain) and through this all no one told me of any god until i was 10, but i knew as i cried hid from the world and read a verse from an old Bible i found(rev. 21:4) that there is a God who gave me hope when i was hopeless, gave me joy within the tears, showed me true love displayed upon a wooden cross to me a girl who felt hated basicly all my life... There is a God who saves the ones who can't be... i serve Him

No one forced me to do anything. The most powerful event was when I asked Jesus Christ to come into my heart, and be my Lord and Savior. When his Spirit came into me, I knew then and there, Everything I have been told, and read in the Holy Bible is true.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door; and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me". (Jesus Christ)

Interestingly enough, I never doubted God exists. It just seems so obvious to me and it always has. How can everything around us exist because of chance? I was brought up to believe in God but I wasn't forced to believe it. As I got older, went to college, went to work, and learned more, it just reinforced my belief in God.

If anything has convinced me that that there very likely is a Creator to the Universe it is my continuing study of human history.
It just is inconceivable that many events that should not have happened did, and that many evens that did happen should not have if history runs on a natural order.

First, my parents were Christians. Then as I
studied the Bible, I saw the truth and became a
believer myself, became immersed in baptism,
and worship Him to this day. He has blessed me
beyond all measure. My life has been wonderful
and I thank Him as I see unChristian lives falling
apart all around me, people on drugs, people
committing rape and murder and robbery, people
who have filled our jails and penitenuarys, people
abusing other people and their own children. I
have never experienced it myself because of God's
blessing me for my belief in Him and my following
His teachings for a good and eventually eternal life.

In my case [I'm a pagan], it wasn't so much an experience, as it was a thought. Why shouldn't one exist? Does it matter if it is an energetic being, or an alien that says it is [extreme point]? If it isn't there, then I'm paying homage to part of my psyche.
It dosen't have to be a, "Deity, give me what I want," relationship.

Being born again with the Holy Spirit. Life changed. I was forgiven of all my sins and received joy that passes all understanding. Jesus is awesome!
