Christians - if you have encountered a Damascus Road experience please tell me about it?

Answer 1

Dear heir, I was like th Apostle Paul, I was strong headed and deteminded in my sleticism and and unbelivfe of the Lord Jesus Christ. I grew up in Chruch, but grew in seperation fomr Jesus and God and the BIble. I wanted nothing to do with those fairy tells. But I skeptically picked up the BIble to read one Morning, and God sent a daunting and serious message. The Message he sent was Galations 1:6-9 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
I did Not go Blind, But I remeber it feelig like my heart was abut to burst out of my Chest. I was Dumbstruck, I had no words to say, the very God I had rebelled against had called me out. This caused me to examine my Heart in the Light of Gods Holy Law, God hates lying and stealing and blapshemy and adultery and fornication ect. I was guilty of all of these, I knew I had sined agianst a Holy God, and that terrified me, I knew that if I died and stood before God he would see me as a lying theiving blapshemous adulterer at heart! But Once I understood my sin, I understood why Christ died, I broke the Law (commandments) rebeled against and railed against Jesus and the belife in His gift of salvation, But despite all of this, Christ died for me anyway, and I fell to my face in the floor of my living room and I repented (turned from sin) toward God, I completely gave my trust to Jesus christ. The Moment I did, a Burden was liften from my shoulders, I have been granted the gift of eternal life, a clean consceince and forgiveness of sins. I know that when Christ comes for me, i wll be ready, But until then, I have ben called as an apostle, Just as my brother Paul was before me, and I have been taking the Gospel unto the world ever since.
Coincidently, Paul is my favorite Apostle, and we have alot in comon, it took God geting our attention, striking us dumb, and now I am saved and a commited follower.
God Bless

Answer 2

Yes, but where would I begin? Every time I tell my story, the 'beginning' seems to go back further and further with each telling so that it seems as though my awakening was 'planned' before I was born, and everything that ever happened in my life, all the people I'd ever met, every book, song, and movie help prepare me for that moment...
It was as if the entire Universe conspired in my favor...

I once had a Damascus Toad. Does that count. His name was piggy and he died when my dog, hibiscus, ate him.
