    Mine was like palmermom3. In fact I remember consciously thinking it couldn't be real, but as I did, the spirit took over as if to make sure there was no room for denial.

    MOAM is outta control-

    I have always been Christian. I don't remember ever having that one Conversion moment, that I hear others talk about. I have just always known that it was true. I have little moments all the time though that confirm that belief. Like when I am sitting in church, someone will teach something that I have always known, but I will see it from a different perspective than I have before- reading my scriptures, hanging out on here and reading some of the crazy things that people believe and just normal life experiences are all times when I may have a moment that confirms the Truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But those moments are always spiritual- those moments always help me to feel closer to my Father in Heaven.

    First: Hearing the call and literally the feeling of being lifted and pulled towards ...

    The Response...

    The rapturous beauty of being born again, how can you describe the beauty of Christ's love, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit the breathe of God en wrapping you , the voice of the wind. The beauty and softness of His light everywhere. The choir of angelic voices even though no earthly music played. Wow! The magnificence of the fire of God and the warmth. The sound of wind swirling around you, lifting you higher and higher. The music in your spirit. The seeing of God with your spiritual eyes open. Your heart, soul and mind being washed and cleansed in the oracles of God. The cleansing, the beauty! Miraculous. It was wondrous. I felt as though I was drawn down the aisle as if I flew. That was probably my spirit flying to God.It was beautiful beyond description. These are precious moments so please no ridicule.

    All true.

    Indeed it was. My conversion is described with great detail in my 360 blog. In summary, I converted from Christianity to agnosticism, and then to deism, and eventually back to Christianity. It's too lengthy to share here.

    Yes, it was. In my former life I was a punk, an alkoholic and a very depressive man. When I felt really down and didnt now anything, what to do, I get down on my knees and prayed, for the first time in this way: " Please god, if you can hear me, answer my questions to life and help me, because i am dieyng , if I dont know wherefor I live!"

    As an answer to my prayer on the next day two ladies came to my fence in our 300-people -village and asked me: " We have a message for you from god, do you want to hear it?"

    I wanted and in the following weeks my life began to change mightfully. It was a hard way, with many trials and fears, but always the lord kept me in his hands and now I am a happy man and have left my dark life far behind me.

    Praise the lord, our heavenly father for his endless love!

    I think mine was almost too rational and logical because I just read a lot of apologetics until I was convinced of the Resurrection and other theological point. It became a lot more spiritual once I believed though. It only gets more so the more you devote yourself

    Well I did have some experiences of God while I was at certain retreats and such, but I was born a Christian and I have a 100 percent faith in God.. you know seeing is not believing.. its a feeling that only true believers of God have, believe and you will see...

    Gotta be. If you don't have the indwelling Holy Spirit you ain't a Christian [Romans 8:9].

  • no but God keeps blessing me with Spiritual experiences and i am forever grateful.

    i must say my wake up call was a spiritual revelation.

    I must say Gods Love is indescribable.

    a mesage to all Matt 22;37&38.....only experiencing this can explain itself.
