Christians, Why Do You Believe In God And What Has He Done For You?
Let me answer my own questions. The first, why do I believe in God. Go outside at sunset, and look around. Look at the sky, look at the birds and the trees and the sheer magnificance of everything. Open a biology or life science textbook, and read how intricate all living things really are. Now you gonna tell me that all of this came from nothing? Or maybe it has just existed forever right? Ok but that’s just as crazy as believing in a superior being, only that God has revealed himself to me through his Holy Spirit, which is VERY real yall. The Holy Spirit is more than a feeling or subtle emotion, it is what gives me strength every day to continue, and since I have had him I have had a whole new life and connection with God. I accepted Christ by faith, and God started to work wonders in my life. He delivered me from a life of drugs which had brought me to the point of near death, and sent me a wonderful woman who is now my fiance. When I worship him in church or at home in private…I can feel his presance and it is the most awesome feeling ever, better than any drugs. I went through a period (recently) where I started to doubt my faith, and think, maybe I am naive, but I prayed fervently to God to reveal himself, and he did once again as he always does, sometims through subtleties which one might pass of as coincidence, sometimes through miracles which I have experienced like much needed money coming from literally nowhere, sometimes through people, strangers and friends alike. Alot of it (not all of it) you can say is just happenstance, but what you call coincidence is enough to convict a man of murder often so please I don’t want to hear it. Prayer. Prayer is wonderful, and God does answer always. Not always how we want but always answers, hes always there, and when prayer seems to get nowhere I just keep praying and sooner or later he shows me what to do. That is what he wants; faith, persistance, seeking after him with all you heart, and in return he shallnever leave or forsake us. I am mostly rambling on, but this is all my true experience and feelings. I have learned that God will only reveal himself to those who actually want to find him. I have also learned that once you find him, many will turn away because the life he demands is very hard indeed, but the reward is great. Because I know God and have his Holy Spirit, I know that the message of the Bible is truth. The language and interpretations have changed, but the message is still there. Why am I posting all this? Just a bunch of random thoughts stemming from a day spent in the religious section of Y/A. God is very real, I am telling you because I love you all and I think we as Christians need to live as Christ commanded us to live. We need to love everyone more than ourselves, because that is what wins souls, not preaching or force feeding religion, but love. Anyways, I know this is all unorganized, but I am just sharing, not trying to make a point or an argument.Christians, please share what God has done for you. Give others a glimmer of hope. Most importantly, pray for one another, and for the lost people out there. I love you all.Christians, please share what God has done for you. Give others a glimmer of hope.

You are a wonderful testimony of Christ. First, thanks for sharing with us. Second congrats to you for changing your life, getting off drugs and finding God. When you were searching for things to make you feel good inside, you took drugs…they helped for a while but it was not long until the emptiness resurfaced and the drugs did not help with that empty lonely feeling. It was God you were looking for and in need of all along…you did not identify that…you only knew that something was missing. Somehow Satan sent people into your life to give you drugs, it was a way he used to decieve you and give you a sense of false happiness and a way not to need Christ. You were wsie to identify this. You overcame Satans trap to destroy you. See Satan gives you the desires of your heart for a season, in other words, in your case, he gave you a good feeling and numbed your pain for a short while….but before long, when the season passes he gives the pain and suffering…the result of our sins. I see God in so many lives…in much the same way. I see how the absence of God destroys people. I see how the submission to God changes lives. I see God in life everywhere. I have spent my life seeking God. I first gave my life to Christ when I was just old enough to know right from wrong. I continued to read the Bible and study his word. I searched many religions for a period to decide for myself why there was so much hate in the name of religion. I realized that religion is a organized set of beliefs on Mans ways. I continued to explore life. I studied people, events, and life. I came to know God personally and grow in my spirit and walk with him. I have met many believers along the way. I have seen how God works. I see God in change. I see God in miracles. I have seen God turn lives around in ways that man could never do without him. God has given us everything. He created us and the world around us. He has given man wisdom and knowledge. He has given us the ability to understand science and yet man wants to use the very things God has given us…against him. This is how Satan works. To really believ in God we must too, understand the spirit of the antichrist. When we really understand God and what is against God…life is so simple. It is frustrating to see that so many live in the dark…because they refuse to open their eyes and see the light. You see…everything…everything is either of God or against him. Satan comes to steal what God has given to us for good and to use it to hurt us. Satan wants to hurt us and destroy us. God gave us life and Satan gives us death. God gave us joy and Satan gives us pain. God gave us beauty and Satan gives us corrutpion. God gave us happiness Satan gives us grief, depression etc. WE only need to seek God and he will take everything and use it for good for us. Those who choose the evil ways will loose evrything good that God gave them and it will all turn for bad against them. God is everywhere. I see him in all things. I have seen the birth of children and the abortions of Satans destruction of life. That is a great example of how birth is a miracle of God and abortion is a evil destruction of innocent life God gives. Satan will try to destroy all people even innocent babies in the name of his hate to God. I have seen many overcome and this is real beauty. You are beautiful.
Your story is amazing, i love hearing faith stories
