I have already posted a question for Atheists, this is a question for Theists?

What convinced you that God physically exists? Can you logically explain how God exists from direct experience?

Update:

All answers are welcome. No answers will be dismissed.

    When I was 19 I started helping out a friend and a ministry. I wasn't a christian I was just helping him out with some art stuff at home one night. As I was working the lights went off and when they did said God if your real please turn on the lights. And the lights came on and went back off. I said it again and the same thing happened. I said that could be coincidence so I said God Im working on your stuff if your real turn the lights on and let them stay on! They did. I know that sounds crazy but that plus many wonderful thing s He has done for me shows He is real. Though Instead of thinking about that you should know this!

    For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life!

    God loves you and although you might not believe in Him or your caught up in all the lies that other spread either way God loves you! You make that choice!

    Matthew 10: 32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

    Matt 18 10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.[a]

    12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

    Jesus is the way!

    God Bless!

    But here is my argument to athiets

    There is no evidence for God.

    This is not a logical position to hold, since to know there is no evidence for God's existence necessitates that the person knows all possible evidences for God's existence. Since he cannot do this (if he did he would be God), then he cannot logically say there is no evidence for God.

    Well...unlike some other people, I haven't been lucky enough to have some sort of luck and see a beautiful face in my mind or stand before a throne in a dream....but...you know that thing they do in churches sometimes when they pray for someone, and the person being prayed for is leaned back and falls to the floor? I've experienced that...and...wow. It was....something else. Each time....I feel this burning sensation through my body. It's...really weird...but it feels good at the same time. Like I'm being empowered with something.

    Well...when I was 25 going around doing a bunch of bad stuff...God intervened in my life and showed me that the path I was on was leading to a bad place. Yes I had direct experiences....sacred, miraculous experiences.

    The most powerful being that God revealed to me that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He was crucified for the sins of the world.

    When God did that...I knew, and I have known that ever since....for which I am very very grateful to Him.

    god exists outside of the realm of human perception and knowledge, not physically

    it doesn't meddle in human affairs through miracles, books, prophets, etc.
