Hi guys!

Really excited to be posting this.

After so long of actively trying to find ways to deny the existence of God, I felt an urge to get to know Jesus. I have been reading about Christianity, being Born Again, and reading the gospel.

I prayed to God to give me faith, and help me to find Him. To please show himself to me that I may believe in Him. I told him that if he was real, please do whatever it takes to get me to believe in Him.

Tonight after a couple nights of chatting with followers of christ and meditating, reading the bible and praying, tonight I had an overwhelming experience. I was in the forest meditating and listening to a recording of the book of John, and I just became flooded with an overwhelming feeling of warmth and love. I heard my heart saying "its real! its real!" and I felt like i could cry.

I quickly heard a voice in me saying "dont be silly. of course its not real" I then went home, and I few hours later I was doing some reading about the evidence towards Jesus being the son of God, and I again had an overwhelming sense that No! it is real! and I feel so happy and at peace and full of Love.

I decided that after a while of putting it off, tonight i will finally turn to God, open my heart to him, and give him control of my life. I feel so blessed and excited to start my new path.

Praise the Lord, Ryan. The angels in heaven are rejoicing!

Luke 15:7,10 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents."

And we are rejoicing. When one honestly repents, changes his mind about being agnostic & turns to Christ in faith, believing He can save you & give you eternal life & confesses Him as Lord, salvation comes by the power & giving of God's life to you. Forgiveness is real, God's joy is real, His life is real! Now as you said, He has your life. Continue reading the Bible, listening for His voice as He speaks to you. It is your spiritual food!

I Pet 2:2 Like newborn babies, long for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Spend time each day in the Bible, listening & praying to the Lord & asking Him to help you live a life with Christ in control. He will give you new desires to no longer want to sin & power over sins. We will be praying you would find a good Bible teaching church fellowship to attend regularly. Keep letting us know what is going on with you. And tell others what He has done for you & continue to be thankful.

That is what the Gadarene demoniac did when Jesus cast out the demons & he was saved. Jesus sent him back home in the region of the Decapolis to tell his family & friends & all who would listen.

Mark 5:19,20 “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.” 20So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

God bless you Ryan.
It's the best decision you'll ever make.

Seek and you will find.
Ask and it will be given to you.
There will be much joy in heaven over one sinner that repents.

Hi, Ryan,

Giving the Lord Jesus Christ control of your life is the best decision you can ever make! Stay close to Him through prayer and Bible study. It would be great if you could find other Christians in your area who are living for Him.

I gave Him my life over 40 years ago, and I've never regretted it. I can't imagine trying to live without Him! He's gotten me through some pretty rough times over the years.

I pray that you will grow in His love and in your love for Him. May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Deborah

I often handle the "real or not real" question with "how got here", and God makes much more sense than the alternatives which is, the best I can tell, our beginnings came out of nowhere and from there we/everything just happened on it's own.

So, that, or it was created, something we see all the time as opposed to never once seeing something come out of nothing, which, when I think abut it, is a complete joke.

Thank you all for the kind words :) I feel a bit strange, mostly the same but a bit different. A part of me was expecting to feel a bigger change really and now I feel a bit directionless. But im gonna keep praying and reading the bible and trust that now God will take me down the right path.

Congratulations!!! This is super exciting. :clap:

Remember, being a Christian is a journey. You're going to have great days and then days you feel like a failure. But God promises He will never leave us or forsake us, so be strong and press on. It's also going to be an amazing adventure, as you leave yourself open to God to use you for His glory. He'll do things through you and take you places you never even knew were possible. It'll never be boring.

Definitely try to find a church that really studies the Bible. There are a lot of fake Christians and fake churches out there, so test them carefully. I pray you will also find brothers and sisters in Jesus who will come alongside you and walk with you through this journey.

(I tried to post on your other thread, but it's down for review. Come on moderators... :|)

Thank you so much. This is what I keep telling myself, that I have put myself in his hands and have to trust He will take me down the right path even if it's difficult. And if you have any advice about my other thread, please feel free to message me, since this is something I still am struggling with, its a shame they shut the thread.
