About 4 yrs ago I begged God to just let me die. I took 26 pills of various types and went to bed. I woke up 26 hours later. I went to my doctor's office because I wasn't feeling right and I told him what I did. He run many tests to check my heart and such. My blood work showed levels of certaun things that proved that I did in fact take these pills. My EKG showed that my heart was out of sync. After another day of resting, all my vital were stable and I went back home. Two doctors had looked my straight in my eyes and told me that by all means I should have died within 2 hours after taking those pills. That I overdosed and they can't explain why I didn't die. My doc said it was a miracle.
I was confused and talked to God for a few days about this. I went to Mass for the first time in years and that days readings and the priest's homily was about darkness on one's soul and how God's holy Spirit and help you get out of this dark place and find the light. I cried all day and felt that those readings were directed at me. I started going to Mass, I joined a Bible study group, reading the Bible, made new friends, went to a counselor for depression, etc. I love the Lord! Not only did He save me from dying, He saved me from myself. I am reborn and I will never turn my back on Him again. That's why I talk about Him so much.

Radiance. This isn't average in complacent Christians. In reality, of the entire individuals that decision themselves Christians, that I recognize, (I'm guessing hundreds and hundreds), I'd say handiest three or so are certainly Christian from the second they input the room. It's like they have been basking within the Throne Room of the Almighty, each and every morning for years. verses Bitterness: Most atheists I've met are extra 'detached'. Those that real 'react' while dialog wanders over to the divine, have a tendency to be of two forms: a million) They've misplaced anybody very pricey. They finish that a loving God should not have allowed them such harm, so consequently, God is not loving, and ought to not exist, or is not valued at following. Their harm has became to bitterness. two) They've embraced whatever that their sense of right and wrong warns them approximately. To take delivery of the probability of God, is to take delivery of an ethical commonplace above their possess. They are not all set to go away the behaviour they revel in such a lot, so that they forget about God. There's no such factor as an open-minded atheist. A- way towards. Those which can be real openminded, are the agnostics.

Those that are led by the Spirit of God.....they are the son's of God

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Gal. 5
1Cor.
3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. We, Christians, proclaim that Jesus is LORD. We can only say that in faith, says Paul, by the power of the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit lives in us we ought to be living ou the Gospel in our lives. In my life I can say that since living my life in Spirit I have become a lot less judgemental and more compassionate and patient with other people. That is a gift of Holy Spirit. I also find that when other people do mean things to me I find it easy to forgive as My Father forgives me. I would have to say that studying the Bible, inviting the Living Word to form in us and prayer , Communion with the Living God, definate signs of Spirit. Once I came into a real fellowship with my LORD through the power of Holy Spirit I love talking and listening to Jesus. Joy , Joy, Joy another tell tale sign of Holy Spirit.

I Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

A change in outlook. You will come to question other things you have believed or held dear. Holding them up in God's light, you will see that some of the things in your life just dissolve. That's OK, He replaces them with better.

When you have unconditional love and compassion for all people of the world regardless of their religious beliefs... and when you shed materialism for a spiritualistic perspective.
The Spirit of God is nondenominational. Please go back to the original teachings of Christ and shed the self-serving television profits.
Beware of those who claim to be Christians but who are not. Please reference the earlier quote:
"2Tim 3:13) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."
Just claiming to be a Christian is not good enough to be a Christian.
