Answer 2

My conversion to Christianity.Growing up, my mom became a Christian when I was five, my dad was a hard core atheist, I began following in his footsteps.I think I was around 13 when I decided that I absolutely did not believe there was a God. I believed just as I hear so many say on here, that Christians are weak, silly and need a crutch and escape from reality. When I was 18 I ran away with a boy that I was obsessed with. He was into some weird occultic stuff and I saw some pretty strange things. Most of which a lot of people would just think I was making up if I told them so I'm choosy who I share all the details with. But being faced with the reality that there was a supernatural world, I began wondering about the existance of God. I came under strong conviction of the Holy Spirit because a lot of people were praying fervently for me at that time. I was at a crucial point in my life and my mom and my sister and some others were praying for me a lot. The Holy spirit was drawing me to the Bible and when I read it, it made sense to me, where it hadn't before. I reached a point where I called my sister and asked her,"If I come home, will you send me to a shrink?" Because I thought I was loosing my mind because I was really believing in God and I had always thought that people who believed in God were crazy. She said yes of course, but I didn't go home just yet and never went to a shrink. I did eventually get myself away from my boyfriend and go home. I kept reading the Bible and put my faith in Christ for salvation. My poor dad was so concerned about me because I was obsessed with reading the Bible (all versions at once and with a Concordance). He came in one day when I was sitting on the floor surrounded by Bibles and gave me a big hug and said " I'm glad you've found something that your so interested in, but please don't read so much of it, it will make you go crazy."My life was totally changed from that point on. At first it was strange, it was almost like I didn't know who I was when I looked in the mirror. When people say that there is a transformation of the heart, I know what they are talking about.It changed the way I thought about everything. I realized that I had believed so many lies and my whole world view changed almost overnight. I'm thankful that God didn't give up on me even though I had rebelled against Him and thought I was too smart and too cool to ever need a Savior to lean on. Boy was I wrong. If He hadn't cared enough to rescue me when He did I probably would be dead and in hell by now.
One last note... I got to see my dad saved and baptized 4 days before he died this May. Some said it would never happen but they didn't realize the depth of patience, grace and mercy that the Father has toward us. Seeing Him baptized was of the happiest occasions of my life! I hope you will come to know the true Allmighty God and Father of all, if you don't already. God bless!!

Answer 3

God speaking to me at a turning pint in my life. The dream I had to let me know I had to change my ways or my destination was what my dream was about. I had another dream of a Golden Giant of a man chiseled with muscles and golden flowing hair and a nasty looking angry man also close in size that yelled and screamed locked up collar and elbow just in front of me and I was a ant to these men. A loud crack of thunder and the ugly screaming man had every bone in his body broken and a pile of jelly on the floor. the Golden Giant was still standing there completely unaffected and did not even break a sweat. I woke up with the most peace in my life and it has lasted me to this day. God also saved my marriage at the time all this was going on.
