Tell me please, about your conversion back to the Lord ?

Question

I am interested in your true life changing experience;s in life, Was it a miraculous happening, or found faith over a period of time..

Answer 1

I wasn't raised in any faith and never went to church, (I live in the UK if that matters) but I believed in God, at least I believed in a cosy God who did what I wanted Him to do......then I moved to a new place and met a Christian lady,she invited me to her baptism. I went along and felt embarrassed, then I heard a few testimonies of how other people had met with Jesus and I felt my spirit stirring. Weird! The pastor did a talk and I felt like he must know me, it was all about me, and I started to cry (quietly). He asked if anyone would like to be blessed by Jesus and I was afraid but my hand went up, and at that moment I was baptised in the Holy spirit (not a concept I'd ever heard of and I didn't know what had happened until some time later) It was like being drenched in pure love. Beautiful. I knew at that moment that god had been with me my whole life and if I'd just looked I would have seen Him. I gave my life to Jesus shortly afterwards.

Answer 2

Well, I was messing around with witchcraft. I met a guy who told me that he had the largest occult library west of the Mississippi and if I wanted to read any of his books sooooo....I got involved with his coven. I was at a gathering on Halloween night, yes, I know it sounds stupid and it was but anyway, it was way over the top. This was not your extra special halloween party but it was beginning to look like a real ritual sacrifice. I was getting pretty scared and evidently the girl who was going to be the sacrifice was too because she took off out of that house screaming at the top of her lungs. She was naked but almost everyone else had on hooded robes so when she went running down the street with them chasing her someone called the cops. It ended up with her having to be strapped to a gurney to get her to the hospital. You would have thought that I would have woke up then and there but I just decided that I wanted to do it by myself and not with a bunch of looney tunes so I kept reading books and trying spells and stuff. My SIL was the one who got me started and she and I would still talk about it all the time. However, I got to the place where I was having a lot of bad dreams about demons getting me. It finally got so bad that I was hardly sleeping at all and was getting sick. I was just so tired. Finally I called out to God that if he was real to please save me and that was the end of the dreams and the witchcraft. About the same time, within a week or two I had to have carpel tunnel surgery on my wrist and told my bowling league I wasn't going to be able to be there and one of the other bowlers asked if she could come to the hospital and see me and I told her yes. She was not someone I really considered a friend but she came and asked if she could pray for me. I agreed although I was pretty embarrassed by the whole thing. She prayed that my hand would heal is all I really remember. Then when I got home from the hospital, she started calling me every week to see if I wanted to go to a Bible study with her. I was 30 years old and had never held a Bible in my hands but finally I agreed to go. At the end, they led a prayer and I said it along with them and then I started to cry and again was so embarrassed. They all hugged me and told me that everyone felt that way when they got saved and that they understood. I didn't understand! I had no idea what getting saved meant or what the sinner's prayers was but I felt so different that I knew it was something wonderful and went back and also started reading the Bible. That was a long time ago but it was also the best thing that ever could have happened to me and my family. I'm just so glad that God never gave up on me and was there when I challanged him. My sil stayed in the witchcraft and moved to Austin Texas which according to her was the witchcraft capital of the USA. I really don't know why but she died a horrible death from her lungs hemorraging. She dialed 911 but when they got to her house she was dead lying in a pool of blood. I guess that could have been me but I was blessed instead. Are you surprised that I love the Lord so much?

Answer 3

When I was 11 years old I accepted Jesus, out of fear of going to Hell.

Later, as I became older I lived my life for myself. I hardly ever considered Him. I did somewhat consider His teachings and had an inner conviction of His presence.

One day, when I was around 28 years old, very unhappy with my life and alone at home. I sat down and talked to God. I told Him that I didn't love Him. Would He please help me to do that.

Within about 2 weeks He brought a circumstance and some people into my life who were Spirit filled Christians. Through their love for Him and their example, I saw Jesus.

I turned to Jesus and a personal relationship with Him. A real difference in just knowing about Him and having Him as my best friend.

Now I do love God and His Son. I have a love for other people that I never had before. God answers prayers.

Answer 4

Some of both. A couple of undeniable miracles and a lot of growing in my faith over a long period of time. For that matter- I am still growing in my faith.

Answer 5

I can't tell you about my conversion back to the 'lord' as it didn't happen.
I did have a true life changing experience, when I read the bible critically, and realised what a thoroughly nasty, twisted religion Xtianity is, and how much misery and suffering it is responsible for. Mix in learning science, Occam's razor, the elegance of evolution and natural selection, the staggering truths about our amazing universe, and the growing realisation of how utterly, utterly stupid theism is and how inadequate and insipid it is as an explanation of the world as observed, and you have my story!

Answer 6

actualy, it was more like a roller coaster. THings were pretty good, then had some tragedys. Left teh Lord for awhile, out of anger.
Came back though, when I realized I am nothing without him in my life!

Answer 7

started as blind faith...praying and having enough patience to see what happened. it's been years now , and I can look back and see how God worked in my life and answered those prayers

Answer 8

it would be a bit long for here...so here is a link to it if you care to read... it is my testimony of my first day of The Faith.
