Hello,
since a long time I am reading spiritual books. Always searching for meaning. Buddhism helped me a lot to calm fears. To accept and let go. But I missed trust (in god). But I was to scientific at that time. So I read more and more. Walsch, course in miracles and so on. Was fascinated by Tarot, astrology. And every information even if it felt nice led to more questions and insecurity. New Age developed a belief in god...or at the start the hope for god. But like i said it didn't helped me. In the contrary there was this insecurity. And more questions.
Some weeks ago there was that night I had a huge experience. I felt that trust lies in the bible. Truth doesn't lie in hundered of New Age-Books. It lies in Jesus Christ. Not in books which are 20 years old or younger. It lies in the book which is so old...and still valid!!
Since this experience I threw away the course in miracles (which is in some points the opposite of the bible so there is no surprise it confuses you by the way!) and all New Age and esoteric books! I thre away tarot cards and deleted stuff I found in my radix. Since then I read in the bible. And since then I pray in the name of Jesus. And since then I have this warm feeling I had in my childhood. I feel secure. I am just beginning! But yes...I am sure this is my way!

So now I am here. First of all I don't know other Christians. In Germany there a just a few Christians in huge cities. Jesus is not "en vogue" anymore. In fact Buddhism and the law of attraction is...and atheism first of all. And Corona does not allow contact to churches and groups at the moment. And maybe thats ok to start? So I hope to meet Christians here and I think that should be easy ;-)
On the other Hand I love to talk in English!!! But I am afraid you notice...I am not used to it and I have to improve my skills. I would love to improve it! So I hope to meet new people (maybe even pen pals) from the states, UK or Australia. To talk about the bible, belief or daily life. And maybe pals who mention bad (grammar) mistakes ;-)

So here I am...Please do not hesitate to write me :)

Thank you so much! By the way: how can I change my name? Believeme...that was to spontaneous :-(

Hello @believeme and welcome to the CF!

I think that's a cool username.

But if you really want to change it, I think you might have to pay in blessings.

Maybe a mod. Or another member can let us know for sure.

If so, let me know if you need some blessings!

I also came from New Age to Jesus. I was really into eastern religions and I was really fascinated by them and I liked to study them a lot. I listened a lot of so-called spiritual teachers. But then I just felt like Christianity is the one true religion and Jesus is the real God. And I didn't really know why but I kind of just felt that way. I believe God was drawing me because he wanted to get me saved (I'm not a Calvinist though because according to John 12:32 God is also drawing everyone else, not just me).

If you came from Buddhism you may want to listen this

Excellent...

Congratulations on finding Jesus.

If you want to I may be able to put you in touch with a German speaking believer who was similarly transformed.

Thank you so much! I am glad to join this community!!

@BibleBeliever1611 Yes absolutely! Is there a possibility to talk about after watching it? Is there a forumthread or may I contact you (I guess "newbies" are not allowed to send mails)?

If you want to I may be able to put you in touch with a German speaking believer who was similarly transformed.

Oh that would be wonderful! Again: is it possible to contact you by mail? I don't want to make my email public. Hope thats ok?
