Where were you when...

[ZiSunka]

Where were you when you accepted Christ as your savior?

What physical location were you in when you realized that as a sinner, you needed Christ?

I was at my desk at work. I bowed my head at my desk and prayed along with the guy on the radio.

Where were you?

I remember that I could not sit, I had to stand up, and when I stood I had to move, so I started walking. I walked right down to Pastor West and He prayed with me. I was normally shy but I didn't even notice the congergation. I was a teenager, I remember that day as clear as any day in my life.

I was sitting at a piano in the Sanctuary/Classroon at Christ For the Nations
in Dallas Texas. That was a Bible School that trained Preachers and Missionaries.

Which time?

I was in my bedroom, listening to peter gabriel's soundtrack to the last temptation of christ (horrible movie, wonderful soundtrack.) it was late afternoon.

i was thinking about Christ. I picture him suffering, and i saw myself as one of those who mocked him. That broke my heart. I asked him into my life. Life has never been the same since.

I was 4 years old in my bed and read it out of the back of a New Testament with my brother. I remember the room clear as day even though I was that young. (We had Bible stories every night, so I knew about God from my parents, I didn't read the whole New Testament at age 4 ) Then after we prayed, we got up ran and told my mom.

I don't know. It was a young kid & just don't remember. I just know that as far back as my memory goes, I knew who Christ was in my life, why he was in my life, and what it meant.

I've always had Him in my life, but it was over a period of time that He actually became a priority rather than just a name.

Cool!

After September 11 my husband and I had decided to start going to church after reading an article. What really hit us was that, everyone was asking how God could allow such a horrible thing to happen. They responded by say that we as a country or as a whole are not living in Christ. Christians are a minority .  The world continues to push God away and the more we do so, the more he removes that hedge of protection. 

So, we went to chruch the next week.  We had visited other chruch's while we were married, but never followed through.  Well, as soon as we walked in we felt at home, felt we had been going there forever.  While we were singing praises, which I didn't really know any of the words, they started to sing "Your all I want", first time I ever heard the song and I sang every word, and cried. I had no idea at the time what was happening.  I went home that night and asked Jesus in my heart.   

Praise God that I have never been the same again, and don't want to be!

Well..around the beginning of may I've had an awesome expirience and let God clean up the mess of my life
wow........I was in some kind of youth group today and we did thing like..you're in groups and don't talk just write your convos on a wallpaper...someone asked if you're Christian when you go to church..they replied you gotta believe in God and say yes to him and stuff...
I think it was my cousin but whoever it was I am so glad about that..could ya maybe pray for that person ..that would be so cool thanks

june 17! at a wild week camp i went there just to have fun and check out some "hot guys" but the speaker spoke a pooooowerful message and i dunno what came over me i know it wasnt me that brought myself down the asle it had to be god cause im sitting one moment and the next im stand and im like ok i need to get saved im a sinner and if i walked out of here today and got killed i'd be in hell, christ did a great thing for me this is my gift to him, by accepting him as my personal savior, it's def changed now when im depressed it USUALLY doesnt last long cause i have one thing that others dont who dont have christ, and thats hope.

I was at work alone in my office when I accepted Christ, now when i hear a prayer for people accepting the Lord I say it also. I had the most wonderful feeling that day, a feeling of warmth and love came over me and I know I will never be the same. I called my pastor and scheduled my baptism, and praise the Lord my wife accepted Christ also, we were put under the water togethor, arm in arm. God is good, and his grace is sufficent. I can't imagine living without him now, without him I can do nothing, but through him I can do all things.
