and my testimony - that is rather different in many ways.

I did a lot of meditation and heard people talking about love of god, and i didn't understand it. One day i said to myself i wonder what they are talking about - i'd like to experience that, and suddenly it hit me, suddenly i experienced god, and love of god.

It was a profound experience, but it didn't fix things in my life. It made things worse for me. I found that i wanted more love, and to be closer to god, and i could never achieve enough to satisfy me.

Then eventually i found out a yoga theory that says when you love something you are separate from it, and the ultimate is not to love it, but to blend with it, and make one thing out of the two. So i realised that looking at god made me separate from god. So now i don't look at god, and i don't sense god, but i feel far more blessed in my life with happiness than i ever was when i felt his presence.

How do you achieve it? Perhaps through prayer? that seems to be what i did...

No, I will not tell you of the feeling. you might duplicate it and fool the mind again. No, I tell you, No! actually , should " you" know personally of the feeling there would be no need to ask of the feeling being described to you. so there must surely be a m...ve. here somewhere.

I can't describe the feeling because it transcends logic and language. The Dr. says it will be ok as long as I take his little pills.

of course you can be with god right now. as long as you keep praying for him and believein him, then he is always with you.

That is the point of G-d being omnipotent - he is everywhere we are and it is up to us to acknowledge him.

My testimony,

About 6 years ago i was in to all kinds of crazy stuff, partying all the time drinking, pot, every form of satanic music etc. you know the type. I was searching for love though. I went from girl to girl looking for "the one". Not findinf i, But i can tell you this much, i clearly remember one time i was in the middle of doing something with this girl and all of a sudden the thought hit me clear as day "Same thing...different face" IN other words the LOVE i was looking for wasnt in women, it wasnt in drugs it wasnt in any of those things. That was one of the things that started "waking me up" I was horribly depressed and dark in my soul. I was constantly angry and thrived on music that focused on that sort of thing. MY parents were abusive/absent and I had too much money on my hands as well. So what I'm trying to say is all the pleasure i could want was there but it left me empty. I was even really hooked on porn and video games at that time too. (I know the video game comment sounds funnt but when you spend 70 hours straight marathon on something i think that qualifies right?)
But...it's true what the Bible says "Sin only feels good for a season." That season had passed and I was left with the concequences of my choices. Things finally came to a head:
God confonted me (I was in my bedroom one night, shaking, after almost getting arrested for helping a guy run away from his parents) and it was a terrible experience but in that darkest time God spoke to my heart and showed me what all my sin had done to me and that it was the concequence of running my own life MY way. My selfishness MY search for happyness at the cost of anyone around me (Of course i didnt realize untill then that's exactly what i was doing). All the demonic posters and stuff i had around my room seemed to be reaching out at me, laughing, preying on the fact that I thought there was some sort of protection/power in them but only now to see that this stuff was feeding on my very life But then...
God showed me the way out! My SIN had created my chains. So that's what needed to be fixed. SO how could I, a God hating (I gave verbal props to Him but my lifestyle was a cuss word) , angry, spiteful, mean, wretch of a person get God to forgive ME?
I knew that In myself was no good thing, i knew that to put it in Scriptural words "I had sinned against Heaven and against men".
That where Jesus came in. I understood that even though I couldnt get myself out of the mess I had created,
"God so loved the World that HE sent his only begotton son that whosoever believes in HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, but HAVE everlasting life." Here was Gods answer to me " Yes you've sinned, yes you deserve judgment and Hell with the devil you've been seving but I loved you so much I TOOK YOUR PUNISHMENT on the Cross." Jesus took every last drop of the Wrath I deserved from a Holy God when he came down, lived a totally pure and sinless life and then died a traitors death in my place. That's love. That's TRUE Love. "Greater Love has no man than this, than to lay his life down for his friends." What does it feel like? Well...being born again.
"If any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creation, because ALL old things have passed away and behold (look) eveything has become new! To know that every last thing i've ever done had been forgiven and that the reason was that Jesus Christ, had paid with His own blood the terrible penalty i had deserved when I didnt deserve anything from HIm at ALL, is the feeling of being forgiven. Oh yeah, He then rose from the dead to prove that He didnt die in vain but really accomplished what HE said He did. I've done drugs, illicit sex, parties, had honors (national poetry awards) money etc. but you know what? NOTHING, comes CLOSE to the high of that relationship with the Most High God. It's EXPERIENTIAL AND REAL. God then filled me with HIS Spirit, what an amazing experience that was, (much better than the old crap that used to be in there) and has blessed me so much no one who reads this would probably even believe it. Among other things, I've seen Him do miracles, and also i had an amazing wife and two children.

Now... you notice I'm not asking for your money, I'm not asking you to attend my church, I'm just saying what HE has done for me and what HE promised in the BIble to do for anyone who comes to him in truth.
But the door into Heaven is a low one, and before you can experience fellowship with God you must reconize the need to repent of your sins and be forgiven. If you reject Gods Son you reject God. Before you can recieve Gods Love you must acknowledge His Holiness. Jesus is the most precious gift that God can give you. In HIM is life. So what should you do? Turn away from the things you know that dont please God, ask HIm to forgive you for the things you have already done (be specific) based on what Jesus has done for you not because you deserve it, and BELIEVE that Jesus died for you sins and rose from the dead and you will be saved. One more thing...salvation is free, but following Jesus will cost you everything. Your friends will mock you your family etc etc. Even some on this forum will mock what i've already said...so what? lol! What do you care about mans approval when you have Gods?

Blessings,
Stephan Joseph
