Blessed be the Lord, I did not grow up in a christian family. I had never heard a single bible verse or been part of a church. Yet the Lord sought me out. I was invited to a church and went and heard the gospel there. Many times since then , the Lord has been sovreign in my life and blessed me again and again when I would have had no idea where to even look for it and it was as if these blessings just chased me down in a way that I would call "handed to me on a silver platter." I do so much love surprises . I always have ever since I was a child.
Hey there everybody! Awesome testimonies across the board!!!
I might as well add mine...
I grew up in a Christian home. I actually prayed to recieve Christ when I was 4. We had been to backyard Bible clubs and I knew that I had lied to my parents... so I knew I needed God (even then). Thats how I came to Christ... no big turnaround from a life of drugs and sex... just pure and simple... I was young and needed God and have gotten to live in His blessings ever since (and before actually lol). Now onto the wierd stuff...
When I was 2 or 3 or both lol... I hadn't accepted Christ personally but I knew about God. My sister was supposed to be born too. Well I kept tellin my mom that "it'll be a girl and you'll name her Aimee and she'll be born on June 10th"... my b-day is in April which is where the both comes in. I did that for quite a while. They didn't do the whole US thing and find out the sex of the child... they wanted to be surprised. Well... it was a girl... they named her Aimee... and she was born June 10th. Just like I had been sayin all along lol I think I may be slightly prophetic... go figure
The next year when I was 4 (after I recieved Christ) I was in the living room with my mom, and I heard my brother call me from back in my parents room. I went back there and couldn't find him at all. You see my bro was at school... but I heard him call me... and then I heard him call me again... but I was too afraid to go back there again. Remember Eli and Samuel? Yeah just like that.... I believe that was God callin me.
And now here I am wishing I had gone back there yet again. I am currently waiting on God to start speaking to me in dynamic ways (which He's told others He will). And of course the dreams... I've been havin more and more dreams here lately. And the funny thing is that what happens in them seems to happen in the next couple of days. Like this one where I was playin baseball from short range with Aaron Jefferson: the next day I was invited to go to batting cages (baseball from short range) with Aaron Leddy (both are Aaron lol). And there's several other dreams, but that's all I'll share now cause this one post is really long.
God does some awesome stuff... He's a cool guy and I love Him to death
No more smilies it says otherwise there'd be one right here... or a couple. lol

God talks to me in my dreams all the time. When I was little I too would tell my family things that were going to happen before they did, it use to freak them out. :rolleyes:
I am just starting to step out in Holy Boldness with the things that he gives me now. I get a lot of visions too. HE is so AWESOME and I love to sing His Praises!
The visions that I have had have been on a personal level meant for specific individuals. I have also had a very specific vsion about my chruch. The dreams that I have are also on more of a personal level. God will show me something in a dream about certain peole. Sometimes it is something that he wants me to tell them or at times it is something that he wants me to know. Since they are usualy personal they would probably not interest others One example that I can give you is that my career is in the Early Childhood Field. Once when i was trying to make a decision about hiring a teacher. I had been praying about it and thought that I had choosen the right individual. In a dream I was walking past the classroom that she would have been teaching in and I saw a very dark and evil figure lurking in the corner. As I apporached the figure it turned and it was her, only she was laughing a very evil kind of laugh and it was this person I had thought I was suppose to hire. I went back into prayer and decided that I was not to do it. Well about a month after this dream I discoverd through a police reportthat she had a history of child abuse and had her own child taken away from her. Praise God that he warned me through this dream and kept the children and our school safe.

Hey Erin-Joy,
That is such a cool story. The Holy Spirit is so willing to let us know things if only we are paying attention and listening.
About a week after I moved into my home I was awakend one night by someone banging on my front door. I live alone so, yes, I was a bit alarmed and I grabbed my cell phone as I approached the door.
My front door has a glass/screen door on it which was locked so I opened the front door and looked out. There was a young women begging me for help, to please call the police because a man was breaking into her car.
Her car was parked in front of the neighbors house and I wondered why, since she had been visiting them, she was not using their phone? I did see a man at her car and then he began to approach my door. Oh, she also said he had hit her and pointed to her eye.
Anyway, I closed the door and called the police. She still continued to scream and bang on my door. I opened the door again to let her know the police were on their way. She then request to come in and wait . . .now. . .there was a hesitation on my part but I don't believe I would have let her in anyway, but. . .I felt a presense next to me firmly take hold of my arm. . .much the same way a parent would as protection when walking next to their child. . .gentle, but firm. I told her NO, of course.
Later when the police showed up she took off and they could not find her or him.
I believe the Lord was taking care of me and physically gave me a confirmation. It was something that had never happend before but one I won't forget.

For the past 2 weeks I have felt my faith in God slipping. I think I was being tested. Satan entered my heart and endlessly tempted me. I found myself wanting and sometimes doing things I would have never ever done before. The whole time was a huge battle inside of me deciding if I wanted to continue following God or not. Half of me was saying I'm a teenager I should do what I want and have the fun that I want and just get recommitted later and the other half said No, that will totally ruin your witness, you weren't happy last time, that's not you. So finally on Tuesday night I decided to read through Psalms that I had underlined in the past. I came across Psalm 27:11-13 and it was like I had written that to God. It totally sunk into my heart and i prayed for forgiveness and guidance. Well the next day I still wasn't sure if all temptation and everything was gone and that night at youth group I found myself ready for it to be over. Well we were doing something called a concert of prayer that night. We sang about 4 songs then sat down. My youth leader preached a little on sins and Jesus dying on the Cross for us. It was unbelievable. It was like I never truly had heard that story before (which I have). I got the full meaning of that message. He asked us to write sins we were struggling with on a piece of paper and nail it to the cross. Instead of like two I ended up with 10. It made me really realize how off track I off gotten and how sad it is. I felt like I was taking advantage of God's dying on the cross. It brought me to complete tears and again I prayed for forgiveness and guidance. We got up to sing again and the tears were really flowing then. I felt so renewed. It was the most awesome experience! I don't think God has ever answered a prayer as strongly as He has with this one. I am proud to say I am back on track now and ready to get out their and share my faith.
