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.

My husband had bowel polyps. He had many tests, operations and a bowel resection. Doctors say this is a bigger operation than a heart bypass. He went for a checkup and a polyp had regrown and looked like it was changing to cancer. He was sent to a Colo-rectal Surgeon. Tests showed it was cancer and another more difficult resection had to be done, they booked him in to have it done quickly. I was shocked and afraid. I happened to be at a christian seminar a couple of days before the surgery. It took a lot of effort to overcome my fear and ask God if my husband and I would have a long life together. God answered in my mind. The exact words were 'You will have a long and full life with your husband.' It was a tremendous reassurance, irrefutable proof that God is real. My husband survived the operation and without the side effects that they told us he would possibly get. He was afraid of the side effect, but I had faith the whole way through the trauma that he would survive and be whole. God's answer to me notably left out the word happy, I believe God has left that part up to us. It is now three years from the operation and there is no sign of a problem. Faith is the gift that God gave me, when he answered that prayer, I am very grateful for that gift.

When God saved me, I was ready for it.... I had been searching and searching for the something in my life. And everywhere I looked, was the wrong place. Everything I did was the wrong thing... I was so lonely and void inside. But one day, I went to church with a friend, and it happened... God called me.. And I took heed to it. It was the best choice I ever made... I still have problems... I make mistakes every single day. But My lord has brought me through so very much... And I am so Thankful, that he loved me so much... I rely On My lord every minute of everyday. And I am glad I am Saved....We have an awesome God........

Dear wisdom, I certainyl do, and its my pleasure to share with you. my testimony I would say is very similar to the Apostle pauls, I was hard headed, and it took God getting my attention and confronting me, before I would turn around.

I once lived the Life of an avid skeptic and unbeliever, I hated religion and I looked down upon the idea of God, and I looked down upon Christianity’s risen messiah. I persisted in this view, Until as I skeptically picked up Gods word, he spoke, and I received a message stating: ”I am astonished you are so quickly removed from the Gospel you have heard to another, apparently there are some who have confused you and perverted the Gospel of Christ, but if any man preach unto you any other, then let them be eternally Condemned.” This harsh chastening of God, led me to reexamine my own skepticism. I later had yet another encounter with God, this time, he held up his Law (Ten Commandments) as mirror, and The Holy spirit convicted my heart as I came to realize God hates lying and stealing and blasphemy and adultery and idolatry, all of whom I was guilty. I knew the Bible said the Just penalty of my sins was Hell. I fell upon my face and trembled before God, because I understood His holiness, I repented toward God and placed my faith and trust in Jesus, and now I have been forgiven and granted the gift of everlasting life. My sins have been forgiven, and I have a relationship with God.
God Bless
Apostle

Jesus has saved me with his blood. One of my testimonies of how he has performed miracles in my life happened a few years ago.
We have neighborhood girls, twins, who live in a very bad environment. One summer we had them over to spend the night. The ended up staying for over a month and their mother only called to check on them once!
Anyway, we are not a family of means and one Saturday while the girls were with us I needed to go grocery shopping in order to feed them. We did not have enough money but we needed food so I took them shopping.
When we returned home there was a check that had come in the mail. It was for EXACTLY the amount we spent on groceries. Evidently two years earlier we had overpaid by that amount when we bought our house.
Tell me God didn't send that check!
He is faithful!

It was Sunday night and I was in church with my two daughters. I was feeling down because school started the next day and I was not financially able to get clothes for my youngest daughter to go to school.

She had to wear slim sizes, it was the only thing that fit her. If anyone has a child that takes slims or husky's you know they cost so much more.

I never told anyone about my predicament. Not because of pride, but because I believed with all my heart that God would answer my prayer and provide clothes for my daughter.

Anyway I was expecting a miracle and didn't get one that night except I learned that school was starting on Tuesday not Monday.

My daughters and I lived up on a mountain. It is 3/4 of mile from an adjacent road. Anyway the next day, a woman who lived on the adjacent road walked all the way up the hill with her 2 children. She knocked on my door and said. " Please don't think I am crazy, but God kept telling me to bring you these clothes. I don't even know if you can use them". I looked in the bag and it was full of slim pants.

I asked her in and we became fast friends. I told her of my predictiment and to this day it amazes me.

I have ocular histoplasmosis... basically it's leaky bloodvessels in the macula of my eye. I am half the age of those who typically get it. At my first dr's visit I had 20/40 vision. Now with histoplasmosis your eyesight is not supposed to improve, once it's gone, it's gone... you just have to adjust to your new way of seeing. The doctor gave me an injection in my eyeball which was supposed to prepare my eye for a laser treatment two days later. The laser was supposed to stop the leak. The injection was on Tuesday, I went to church and was annointed with oil for healing on Wednesday. Well, when I went back on Thursday for the laser my bloodvessel was no longer leaking and my vision had improved to 20/20... at my next checkup I still had no leakage and my vision had improved to 20/16... I still have 20/16 today! My doctor is quite confused... saying he doesn't believe in magic... haha... Thank the Lord I believe in miracles! He still performs them! Even to this day! Thank You Lord!

Jesus Christ saves those who believe in him from the "chains" of eternal death.
