Have you experienced god?

Question

Has anyone actually had a real life experience of god? Not a belief or faith but an actual experience? If so what happened?

Answer 1

yes, the biggest one was after I was truly saved.
Not after I walked down the aisle and signed a card when i was 16. Not when I was baptized shortly after.
A few years ago when I was about 28, I had been really praying and reading the Bible for several weeks and one night, I felt soooo sorry for my sins. Truly sorry. Truly repentent. I knelt down beside my bed (first time) and i felt so unworthy to be in God's sight because of my life that I actually laid down face first and cried in sorrow of my sins. A few nights later, I was praying and reading the Bible and I FELT God's presence closer that I had ever EVER experienced. It was awesome. I had such peace and assurance.

Answer 2

Yes. Encountering Her was one of the most profound experiences of my life, and one that I'm not inclined to share on a public board or with anyone that I don't know well. Sorry.

(On an instinctive level, I experience the Goddess and the God every day of my life, since the universe is Their living body... but I assume that you're asking about an encounter that engages the mind as well as the heart and the spirit -- a vision -- hence my answer.)

Answer 3

I believe this is my experience, one of my many.

I was struggling last spring with many issues I felt God had decided to take a back seat on. I moved back home to help my mother who was going through a divorce, only to find out she was not ready to move on with her life. She still let him control it. One day he came over and assaulted me, and in an attempt to defend myself I was kicked out of my mother's home. The family blamed me.

The day before this my Jeep was stolen. My first vehicle I had purchased on my own which was not paid off yet; my boss had called saying my annual review was done, and he did not like the results, and I thought I failed a mid-term. To top it off my fiance was ready to give up because my family had caused us soo much pain and suffering.

Back to the fight, I was give two days to move out. With no money and no place to go and no support from my fiance, I prayed. The next day a friend called me up and offered a place for me to stay, and even helped me move everything in. That same day I got back my mid-term and to my surprise I got an A! Also, my boss called and apparently he was kidding. I did well the past year and he gave me a 13% raise. Then at the end of the day I got the call from my insurance, who valued my car at more than what I could have ever hoped to get. I paid of my debt and bought my now wife, her ring (in full).

The world shut the door on me, but God opened the window. I still believe God moves mountains. He did for me.

Answer 4

Well, I don't know if this is an experience of god, but it is a god's honest truth story:

When I was five years old, I was about to run across this street and for some reason I stopped because I felt some "spirit" grab my shoulder, signaling me to stop. I stopped right in front of the street, and a split second later, a huge truck sped by. Till this day, I think God stopped me from getting hit from that truck.

100% true story.

Answer 5

I experience His presence all the time. I experienced His healing power on Sunday. I hear Him speaking to me also. This is why no person can tell me there is no God.

Answer 6

Yes. Several.

The very fact that God drew me back to Him a few months before I absolutely needed Him, for example. He has given me peace, comfort, guidance.

He has taught me to trust Him. He has taught me to simply reach out my hand and know He is there, every time I need Him.

Answer 7

Which God? I can sense things, but could never linked them to a higher power. Its like there is a blank there,

Answer 8

All the time. I was just crying in my mead to Odin last night. LOL Several goddesses too.

Answer 9

Yeah, and the most recent thing is being given life.

Answer 10

I was about dead, called out on GOD and HE Answered.
