Maybe like me you'v had religious dreams and learned their could be more to it.I did my schooling at a church school and went every week to sunday school,which me and my sister loved.But on growing up from my teens (now 43)my life has had more than its fair share of,lets say"rough times"and so thought i might be being punished by these.And lost the care of feeling the faith,and kind of stopped believing.Still not sure,but those dreams where really vivid,as if i were awake.I wont go into detail but jesus was crying blood tears as he hovered over me in bed.And i felt an overwhelming warm contentment that in turn brought me to tears .I had to wake my partner as i was so upset.Since then i have felt guilty for being so angry at god all those years.At the moment i dont quite know where to turn.Im so confused now.

I always believed in God ..
Somedays and times .. i got Querry .. Not knowing .. and may be went further as Athist ..
Then the light always come through unpredicatable moments .. not meaning like i was searching ..
Just at a time i see something ordinary in a book that make me start again believing ..
and it was never a relegious book .. just may be a novel .. may be a child in a mall .. and so ...
It is Benign that you have such thoughts .. and if you have that light .. you will be sure much more better and much more believer than the always believer ..
.. God luck

I believed for most of my life. Very, very strongly, in fact. I thought I saw the hand of God everywhere I looked. It was just so obvious. The very notion that anybody believed anything else was completely alien to my mind. I left my life in his hands, going only where I thought he directed.
In my teenage years, God showed me that he was a pretty bad driver, to say the least, and I took the wheel back. I felt guilty about it, but what could I say? My life depended on straightening things out, and following what I felt was the "true" path was causing great pain for myself and for the people I cared about.
A few years later, I tried to go back, feeling fairly ashamed at how I had behaved, giving up on god when the truest test of faith had come knocking on my door.
Blind faith is that powerful. It keeps you from imaging a life without the object of your faith; it makes anybody who believes otherwise to be "obviously wrong." Facts and contradictions can't change your mind, because those "facts" must be mistaken, and the "contradictions" must be misunderstandings...there is no other way. The central core is very well-insulated. So, during this time, I was horrified at just the sort of person I was...a vicious traitor, pridefully sinful at what I had done. Maybe I didn't deserve the only purely good thing that this universe could offer. At the same time, when it comes to a being this glorious, you can't stop trying to reach him.
But god wasn't anywhere to be found. No matter where I went, no matter who I talked to, no matter what I looked at... where he once seemed obvious, things instead made a lot more sense without his presence. What I discovered after a couple years of trying to "return to flock," was that there had never really been any reason to think he was there to begin with.
Now, that's not to say I became an Atheist right away; after all, just because it was becoming clear that Christianity was incorrect doesn't mean that there isn't an *imperfect* god, or multiple gods, or any other of the billions of possibilities. It took nearly half a decade of nearly-daily work and thought to get there. But, that's where the path eventually led, and I'm not at all upset with the results.

I have always believed in a loving God and like you attended church and Sunday School. I did make a conscious choice to accept Jesus as my Savior through FAITH. I have been through many trying times and tests of faith (coming here alone is a test of faith). I have questioned God and I have shouted at him in anger. He still loves me and comforts me. You must be very mystically and experientially based to have such a dream...but try not to over analyze it. Jesus did cry blood tears on the cross...for you and I and for everyone.

I lived the first 25 years of my life for me, often quoting the very arguments against God that I read from others on here today.
Then I faced the plain truth that I had not given God fair consideration.
When I truly asked God to prove to me that He is and that the bible is His word, He did.
God loves you and so do I.
Now I'm just a 51 year old sower in the field.

I believe there is a good and there is an evil. They come out in human beings whether it be in a nun or a vicar or in a person like myself who in my opinion is very nice and caring to family, friends and strangers if the need arises. Or the evil in perver*s, rapi*ts, terrorists terrible accidents and so on. Whether God guides the good and Satan guides the bad i don't know. But so much evil and bad things happen in every day life that some times it is hard to believe there is a God. Only Satan. It is a tough one, i am not overly religious but some times i do believe and some times i don't. I pray. And still bad things happen whether that is God's way of teaching us or Satan getting one over on God who is to say? We each have to make our own mind up. xx

Jesus and God are the gentle. So, He needs you to stay out the way God chosen, stroll at a similar time as you have the gentle=proceed to exist God's direction for he that walks in darkness is conscious not the place he is going=your straying from God have self assurance interior the gentle=have self assurance in God that ye would desire to be the toddlers of sunshine=grow to be a "newborn" of God

I did ... all my life i knew he was there. I mean with out God how would you see this world? A lot more messed up huh. Every living good thing is from God.
I fell from God and bowed to Satan a few years of my life but i must say... that life "SUCKED" I was bein greedy and told God, "ill give you one chance God, and if you mess it up im going to go against you!"
I was being stupid... but after that i realized ... past year i went through HARD times and God never failed me once.
Satan did nothing but brought pain within me.
Dont be confused, hit the bible up pick up "new living translation" Life application study bible and read "John"
Its good for people who are confused.
John does a good job!
I read a good passage yesterday and id like to share it.
If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies.
turn from evil and do good.
Search for peace and work to maintain it
The eyes of the lord watch over these who do right and his ears are open to their prayers
but the lord turns his face against those who do Evil.
I hope this helps in some way.
God bless!

God comes too us in ways that only we can understand and know it's real.
I wasn't raised by a religious family. My parents aren't religious or believer's. They are mostly one of those parents who call it a "fairy tale"
when I was young, I was told there was no God.
Being a child, I thought that if there was no God, then there was no moral's...So I started to become into this horrible person, humilation.
Then on september 11, 2002, I was in NYC, working in a cigar shop, standing over a Huge Glass Clock and looking down at watches (this clock was hanging and the size of me) and my co-worker, a russian illegal (lol) said "cheryl come here" I walked over there and said "what" and at that moment, a man opened the door and a huge gust of wind came in anf the clock fell and broke, right where I was standing, It would have killed me.
I later asked him why he asked me too come over too him...and he said "I heard a voice tell me too call you over here"
It was HIS belief that saved me...
I then started looking for God. I realized my parents were wrong and bitter and had no right to tell me what they didn't know for sure.
So there is a God, whatever, or whoever he is....

Yea, I always knew their was God. I always knew it. But I never really understood him and had a sincere love for him until I was a teenager. I wasn't really rebellious, I just went through typical teen years. Popularity and boys were the only thing that mattered until I hit rock bottom from a depression and no popularity or boys would make me happy. I too also had a dream of judgement day. Very vivid to me to this day. Jesus and all of his angels came it was like a prejudgement, to let everybody know whether they were going to hell or not. And I remember just standing there and this angel came to a man in front of me and told him he wasn't going to heaven and that he needs to make right with God. I woke up after that.... And I really started believing and I became very spiritual at the age of 17. I completely changed my life around. Later on I had a dream that Jesus was taking me on a tour of Heaven, and he called it jubilee. It was sooo beautiful. I never wanted to wake up from that dream. I was so happy to be their. I saw the angels. Unfortuantely I woke up.
My advice to you it to start searching spiritually for God and Jesus, go to chuch, read the bible. Start believing. I take dreams like that very seriously.
I will pray for you! I pray that you find guidence, and inner peace!
God Bless

Christ does cry for His lost sheep.I always had a strong awe of Christ, but you know how it is when you get to be a teen and young adult, you get full of yourself and think the worlds your oyster. I still looked for God, a God ,Higher power, all that stuff. God let me go down some roads that gave me a lot of heartache, also alot of blessing came from them. I finally got to the end of myself and realized how I had been the one to cause all the heartache I experienced. When you realize what a total worthless fool you have been you see how much you really need God and His forgiveness. You see how He was always there waiting for you to let Him back in. I have never regreted turning my life over to Him He knows what is best for me and He has blessed me in ways I never could have imagined.
