All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

What brought you to God?

We all have a specific reason why we came to God. Was it because you feared being sent to hell? Was it because you were looking for a better way? Or, was it because of His great love for humanity?

Mischelle,

Ultimately, I wasn't looking for God or wanting Him. But in hindsight, all of the things that you mentioned softened me. Ultimately, I saw my sin and my need for a Saviour, and at the same time I understood His forgiveness and His Love and Grace. Once my eyes and heart were opened, I simply could not ....and did not want to refuse.

Blessings, Carla

Hi Mischelle, God bless you!

I've been thinking about your question.

God's love and freedom and being given the chance to choose the Lord instead of satan. I remember saying...I'm free! Satan was pretty upset about that. Like a tied basketball game with seconds to go and the Lord takes the shot from across the court. Time runs out and the ball is in the air. And Jesus makes a basket. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

To this day, I still encounter spirits that I recognize. I'll say something like...We have met before. And it might say something like...Yes, we have. I'm not proud of it, but I am living proof that a person can get out of it if they want to.

Love,

Mary

Hey Mischelle, Good questions! However, I wasn't in any search for God, God is the one who found me and chose me.

He came into my life when I was a teenager. Did not know anything about Jesus, heard my friends talking about him and got curious about him. I wondered why my friends showed so much love and they told me it was Jesus.. Jesus is all about love, he died for you and me...when I heard the story, I cried so much. I felt like a big sinner and did so many wrong things and I told myself I can't be like Jesus, he is so honest and kind. I told Jesus..I love you but can't join you. I back slided.

My mouth rejected him, but my heart remembered him and even in my sinful ways..I asked him to watch over me but still did not want to commit my life to him. He watched over me for 27 years, never giving up on me, brought me in his spiritual path, but I always got in and out, cos it was not easy being faithful to him.

It took me 27 years to accept this gentle saviour into my life. I endured so much struggles and he lifted me up, people failed me, but he did not. ......He let me go through all the trials and now I must say, he has made me into such a strong person and truly....without him, I will not be here today.
