Answer 1

I have been searching, what is the meaning of life?
Why some are born to be King, slave, blind, lame etc.
I thought if I earn alot of money it will solve all my problem.
I though If I drink and get drunk I can forget my misery.
All this come to nought.
Some one invite me to the Church after that I learn all about Christainity.
My life took a great change in the way I look at life.
Yes I am now differrent and I can say it helps me alot in this tough and cruel world knowing God loves us always.

Answer 2

A Jewish guy named Drew came into our neighborhood when I was about 13 yrs old and approached our pastor about holding a revival for teens at our church. When he asked if anyone would like to ask Christ to come into their lives, I decided that I would. There seamed to be no affect at the time in my life because I was basically a good kid and listened to my parents for the most part. When I was about 33 yrs old, I hit the wall because I was doing my own thing and relied on my own understanding. I came to a cliff in my life and it seamed that my only choice was to jump off and end it all. In my complete frustration and having run out of options, contemplating ending it all, I tuned into Christian radio and Christ spoke to me, literally, through the person speaking. He singled me out and every word he spoke pertained directly to my situation, at that moment. He gave me exceeding hope and joy at that moment and I have never been the same person since. I look to Him for everything and, just as He promised ("My yoke is easy and My burden is light". Matthew 11:30). To this day, the more I look to Him, the more I can see His hand at work. Just recently I experienced a major financial set-back in my business, which by all earthly reason should have caused me to loose my house by now, but Jesus Christ knows all of our situations has provided for our needs month after month. I thank God for the opportunity to express my faith in day to day living before my children, for it is one thing to talk about faith, it's another thing to live it by letting go and giving it all to Christ. I am truly blessed! Thank you Lord!

Answer 4

what was happening in your life that time.and who brought you to christ


Hell, No one really brought me, but my mom did a LOT of praying.

Answer 5

I SURE AM. I WAS BORN AGAIN OVER A YEAR AGO AND I COULD NEVER DESCRIBE HOW IT FELT.

THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS CALLING ME. IT WAS WARM, LOVING, COMPASSIONATE AND IT KEPT CALLING ME.

IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE BEST. I LOVE LIFE, TRY TO BE POSITIVE, LIVE THE WAY I SHOULD AND MOST OF ALL I HAVE APERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.

MY LIFE WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND MY MARRIAGE WAS SUFFERING, I WAS DEPRESSED. I FOUND A GREAT CHURCH AND WAS DOING IT FOR MY TWO BOYS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD MY PASTOR PREACH ON THE HOLY SPIRIT AND IT DUG DEEP INTO MY HEART. I CRIED AND THEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITHOUT GOD IN MY LIFE.

SURE MY MARRIAGE IS STILL ON THE ROCKS( HE IS NOT A PRACTICING CHRISTIAN BUT CALLS HIMSELF ONE) BUT I AM HAPPY AND I LOVE MY LIFE. THINGS MIGHT BE HARD BUT I KNOW GOD IS CHALLENGING TO MAKE ME STRONGER AND WISER. HE KNOWS I CAN DO IT AND WANTS ME TO BELIEVE IT.

Answer 6

It's is different, you view the world differently. My mother brought me to christ (even though I was so rebelliuos) but it finally hit me when I almost lost my grand mother9Thank god he didn't take her). I was going through a lot in my life at that point in time, my father love me yet ever been there for me and his wife( I can't stand her one bit) wouldn't let him see me or my sisters, but in the end god was there for me and thats all that matter.

Answer 7

I thought I was saved. I had went to the altar and listened to this preacher pray for me, but I was only deceived by satan. Jesus said if thou shalt confess with thy mouth. Well I didnt do that. Didn't really know to do that. So for over a year I went on with the fact that I went to the altar. On March 4, 1999 my husband came home early that day and told me he had gotten saved. I was shocked cause he too I thought was saved. I wasn't able to rejoice with him. I felt troubled inside and not sure why. He left to go tell him family and while he was gone all I could do was search my heart. We were going to go to revival that night, but when he got home I was under such conviction all I wanted to do was go find out if I was saved. God recalled to my mind the day I made a profession that I did not ask him to save me. So on our way over to our pastor's house I kept wondering if I was saved or not. By the time we got to out pastor's house I knew I was lost and needed to be saved. I knelt down at his coffee table and there I asked Jesus to save me, and He did. Now I know and I have no doubts that I am saved.

Answer 9

Abso-freakin-lutely.....

Almost 8 years now.....praise God!

Got saved through the ministry of the 700 club. The change wasn't immediate.......but my burdens in life were suddenly much lighter.

As time progressed, God trimmed & pruned alot of stuff from my life.....and He's still doing it. There are some wicked-stubborn branches that I wont let go of......but He will win....not me.

Answer 10

I was raised A "HARDCORE" Catholic for the first 18 years of my life. But I grew very tired of the same old routine, every Sunday. It wasn't until, a member of my church choir gave me a book called "666", by Salem Kirban, that my life would change forever! In the back of that book was the Salvation Invitation. After reading the book, (& being totally freaked-out by it!), I signed my name after the prayer, & became a Believer. That was 1973!

All through college, I was actively involved in both Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, & Campus Crusade for Christ. I really made some very close friends during those years!

It wasn't until after I had graduated from college, (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Class of December '79), that things really went "south" for me!

After my one & only job in my major, (Bachelor of Fine Arts-Technical Theatre), bombed, I started working at another place. I met a girl there, who when I told her that I was still a virgin-well, that was all she needed! She lead me around like the proverbial "bull-with-a-ring-through-it's-nose". (Remember, I had been a HARDCORE Catholic for my first 18 years, & was taught those 18 years-that if I even LOOKED at a woman, I was going to Hell, & then I was a Believer for over, at that time, 4 years-so still no sex). She kept promising me sex, but as I was to discover, she never had any intention of fufilling that "promise". When she dumped me, to say I was devastated, would be an understatement!

Looking back on all this, I think the reason I fell away from my Lord for so long, was because, I didn't have the close Christian fellowship, that I had had at college!

I fell away from the Lord hard after that! Over 20+years, to be exact!

I was extremely racist, I had a hatred for woman, that was, (to say the least), unflattering, I had a mouth that would make most gangsta' rappers cringe, & most of all-I had a hatred for God, that lead to my practically cursing Him 24/7! Not a pretty picture, is it?

Oh yes-I also tried to kill myself over 2 dozen time, as well! Everything from Pills, to knives, to carbon Monoxide, even to dousing myself with gasoline & being within millimeters of striking the match!

My job situation wasn't any better! I went from one job to the next, never setting down roots anywhere for very long!

Well, I had a job, (this was after I moved to Madison), that I thought was ideal! Everybody was very happy with the work that I was doing, & I felt, for the first time in my life-satisfied with my life. Well, I was unjustly accused of something at this job, & that was the straw that broke the proverbial "camels" back! I ended up swallowing 30 sleeping pills, & ended up in the emergency room of one of the hospitals here! And what did I get out of it-a $1400 hospital bill, that it took FOREVER to pay off!

Looking back on this, I DO realize that it was indeed the Lord, telling me to get my rear-end over to the hospital, although I didn't realize it at the time.

Well, after a long string of temp jobs, I was ready to try suicide again, & this time, I was determined to get it right! I had hit rock bottom. No money, no job, nothing! In my apartment building, I had discovered the internet, because they have a small computer lab here. I now know that it WAS indeed the Lords leading here as well, when I came across a Christian website called Theology Online. Eventually, after trying to disprove Christianity, unsuccessfully I might add, I finally mustered enough courage to ask the people there to pray for me, which they did, because I was really depressed! As I said earlier, it was the Lord that lead me to TOL as well! What surprised me was I even interested in a Christian website, when I hated God so much! Well, HE didn't hate me!

Finally, I was ready to get the whole suicide thing right one & for all! I told the Lord that I would give Him one more chance to help me, if He even cared!

Well, the Lord again, (Although again, I didn't realize it at the time-sound familiar?), lead me to look in the Yellow pages for a church that had, of all things, a Satuday night service, which I thought was little bit strange. That church was Evangel Life Center-the same church that I am still attending, almost 3 years later! I went there, & sat in the back of the sanctuary. I wasn't there more than 10-15 minutes, when 3 wonderful women came over to talk to me. I told them why I was there, & what I was planning to do. They both prayed for & with me, & like the proverbial "prodigal son, THIS prodigal son finally came back to the the Family of God! That date was 1/11/03-a date that I will never forget!

Since that time I have had both ups & downs, like we all have. The "ups" side was fantastic! I had gained an absolutely fearlessness in witnessing-eventually, which lead to my witnessing not just to one person, but to groups of people, both at work & at my apartment building as well! What was really cool, was that I just knew exactly what to say! I KNOW that that was the Lord working through me, because I was so totally surrendered to the Lord, it was the greatest experience in my life, that 2 of the people that I had a chance to witness to actually received the Lord as Lord & Savior ON THE SAME DAY! *WOW*

But I also have had some major "down" times as well! I did backslide for 6-7 months, I turned my back on God's calling to become a minister,were the top ones!

Right now, I have almost no money, no job, & major medical bills! Yet even through that, I will NOT fall away from my Lord again! I have no intention of living that kind of life!

That's what it's all about, my beloved Brothers & Sister in Christ-humbling ourselves to an Almighty God-admitting to Him that we cannot do ANYTHING without His help! I'm have as much as possible faith that the Lord WILL provide for my needs, as He has done so in the past! He HAS never let me down, even when I WAS unfaithful to Him!

It is my one & only desire, (outside of my wanting to be more like my Savior), to be, above all-an encouragement to everyone here! The Bible says, "Delight thyself in the Lord, & He will give thee the desires of thy heart". (Psalm 37:4) That is my one & only desire-to serve Him & be an encouragement to all of you!

God Bless!
