Do you know the moment it occurred or was it a change that took place over time and you realized it looking back?

It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It was on May 9th 1990 at 9:30 pm after Church. I was with by boyfriend at the time and and I was in so much misery. At that time I started going to The Good Shepard Church and learning about our Lord. I was suffering emotionally and my boyfriend as we were sitting in the car asked me that he knew how to help me. He told me that asking our Lord as his Savior and bringing him into your life will take the burden from what I was so much in pain with.
What I was hurting so much was from my step father who molested me for 8 years from the 4th grade to the end of High school and it had controlled my life so much and my boyfriend knew that is was distroying me inside. Yes my mother knew because I told her several times. She chose not to believe me.
After I took my Lord as my Savior It was the happiest moment in my life and the peace was powerful and I knew the Holy Spirit was with me. After that I asked the Lord what to do with this pain and to let it go. The answer was forgiveness. I told myself when my step father did this to me I would never forgive him but I was wrong. That is what the Lord is wants us to do. Love and forgiving like he forgave us for our sins. Ever since then I have nothing but peace and it is stronger and stronger. So now when I look at my step father since my mother is still married to him after 30 years. I have no more pain because God took that burden from me and my step father has to deal with the Lord not me for what he had done to me. We have a loving and forgiving father. I praise the Lord for him everyday for loving me and creating me. I cannot wait till I go home to be with him. This world gets too hard sometimes.

After realizing I had been deceived for over 25 years by a cult, I started studying on my own, and after about three years of this, was doing a study on the gospel. I suddenly realized one day what it was, and understood it, but because of my having been in a cult and having totally believed what they taught, only to discover it was all false, I also realized that, no matter how convincing something might be, I could still be wrong. But God saw to it that I understood I was right in my understanding of the gospel. Both the sound and sensation of a wind came over me, and a voice telling me I had it right. It was a bit unnerving at first. I even checked to see if a window was open in the room, or the air conditioning/heating running, but no. There was no such thing to account for it.

I was reared in a Christian home, soon became an atheist. Then, in 1965, I was born again, though not as a Christian. The spiritual experience has guided me through the remainder of my life and I'm grateful for it every day.
And grateful for the fact it had nothing to do with any organized religion, doctrine, or conventional faith.

I know Exactly when it happened, but don't rememer the exact date.
Not a Change over Time---that's what happens when you Keep Following Jesus AFTER you get Saved.
The "Born-Again" Experience happens At Once. (one Point in Time)
You may or may not FEEL AnyThing!
Some do, some don't.
Feelings don't have Anything to do with it.

Mine happened December 3, 2000. I wasn't a believer, but a friend of mine invited me to her youth group to hear her sing on the worship team. I went to support her and ended up a Christian.

Halloween night of 1990. One simple prayer led to one major encounter.

You mean a hangover, right? That pounding spinning feeling in your head when you realise that reality is trying to talk to you...
