Please write your story of how you were saved?

Strongly agree with this!

I will tell you my story:

During my school years, at around 6th grade, other people had girlfriends and were popular with the kids in the class. I was diagnosed with the fake mental disorder "ADHD".

They put me on every medication in the book, literally about 40 different ADHD meds. To make a long story short, I was outcasted and called names, made fun of... all for just being nice, smart, and different than everyone else.

Now, once I hit 7th grade I was a mess. school was too much for me. I wanted to go outside and just run around and learn things that interest me, learn things that seem to matter in my later life... instead of figuring out how many apples Jane will have if you take 3 away over and over.

I have a very high IQ, I do not mean to brag about it but I must say it for the story to make sense.

By 8th grade, I was starting to get to the point where I would refuse to go to school because of bullying and pointless monotonous work. My parents were stressed and shoving meds down my throat as much as they could, the meds were messing up my brain and making me into a crazy person with mood swings, I would never feel happy and cry all the time.

9th grade, I hit near bottom. They put me into special education classes with borderline retarded children. I felt worthless and stupid, and the special education teachers made it even worse.

10th grade, I was so sick and tired of it all I thought it would never end. I held out through the pain and suffering.

Partway through 10th grade, I started praying. I started praying to God and asking Him "WHY WHY WHY do you put me through this? I am so smart and all of it is being wasted. I just want a girl that loves me."

I have been a Christian all my life, but until then I never REALLY gave God my all and tried to not sin and live for Him and His ways.

I was in a web design class that year of school, and there were 2 mean girls that called me names all the time. There was another shy girl in the class, and one day after crying myself to sleep praying the night before, the mean girl said "you should go on a blind date with the shy girl" (in a mean, making fun of me way)

I said OK, and we went on a date.

...

That was 3 years ago. Our anniversary was Oct. 31st this year.

I have now gotten through school and God has awakened me and showed me the truth about the government and world affairs. I have learned so much through the last 2 years sitting on my computer than most people do in 15 years.

I do not have a job, but I still have my girlfriend. I am 19 years old, and I don't have a car either.

My dream is to install car audio, and professional audio systems. (my YouTube: [link to www.youtube.com]

With the way things are going, I don't think I will get these worldy dreams in my life.

But that is alright. I will live for God through these ending days of this earth, and hopefully survive to witness the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ.

God WILL save you and help you if you treat others with kindness, and try to spread His word.

I picked up the poetic Edda from the local library and learned about the true teaching of Odin and felt him in my heart.

Op, God has always been there with you, in brokeness is where we find him when we have strayed from him. Pray for him to make you weaker and for the holy spirit to dwell within you. " He did not give us the spirit of fear, he gave us the spirit of love, power and sound mind"

Cassette?

LMAO

The day I was saved is when I gave up on the Christian "God" and the false messiah Jesus Christ.

Alright, you youngins. People in their 40's had EIGHT TRACK TAPES. We aren't ancient. Now, go to bed, it is past your bedtime. (just kiddin)

I thought I was saved when I prayed the sinner’s prayer at 16.
I was scared of going to hell. However, I had lots of psychological scars and didn’t receive counseling. Unfortunately, lived in sin for many years after that. Too “intellectual” so I studied everything and believed in nothing stable, except I never renounced Jesus, I am very thankful for that.
I read the Bible at 30, got scared off instead of studying further, got into new age studies. Always searching but never happy.
I read a book by Chuck Missler and saw that the Bible is a miraculous book that could only have been written by a being outside of time. So, I now could believe that the Bible is the actual word of God. That was a turning point. Thanks, Chuck!
Then, it was a process, but really took off about a year ago, of beginning to submit myself to God. I said to myself “I am going to do what God tells me to do and stop relying on my own study and understanding.” So, I began giving Him areas of my life. I stopped watching astrology videos. I gave up most pop—that was a real area of struggle. So basically what happened was—as I began giving areas of my life over to Him—I found a peace that replaced a low-level depression. I find I only want to listen to Christian music. I only want to read the Bible—not novels. I look forward to quiet times when I can pray and read His Word.
I am very sure of my salvation—I wasn’t at first, I thought that I was doomed forever because I didn’t have an immediate feeling of salvation like a lot of other people. But you know—we are all individuals, and so it won’t be the same for everyone.

It was 25 or so years ago ! It was a set of cassettes ! Fitted into a molded book type holder ! They were cool with sound effects added !

i was truly saved when i started sneaking out of youth group to sit outside in hiding until church was over. my grandmother is very stoutly religious and had been forcing me to attend her church since i can remember. i would go outside and sit, and feel a little guilty and a little rebellious. once i was 17 i refused to go and she had a hard time dealing with that. she would condemn me to hell, but i didnt hate her for it, i just accepted her ignorance that was seared into her mind from old age.

i stepped away from organized religion and have never felt any need or desire to go back. i realized that some people need rituals to feel spiritual. some people need rules. i stopped making fun of religious people and instead began to study religions and teachings. i realized that most religions had fantastic base teachings, but were skewed into ritualistic monotony. meanings lost in translations, watered down, vague... i started meditating and actually formed a close relationship with Jesus, i had several visions of him that were special to me. i realized that if Jesus stood before most christians today, he would just cry. just cry because instead of seeing god and love and creation in their own cores, their humanity being divine, they put him on a pedestal and used it to crush other religions, peoples, conquer lands in his name, give people fear to control them.

so yes, what saved me are the moments of rebellion that gave me peace and quiet, laying back in the grass and staring at the stars, feeling closer to god and everything outside in this marvelous creation, rather than inside a stuffy, controlling religious environment.

My journey started on rainy night many years ago.
I went out for a walk,looking up to the heavens and getting totaly soaked like a nutter thinking how do I find the truth. When suddenly I bumped into a little chinese woman who was also soaked. I asked if she was ok,then she said she was out praying to God . That blew me away big time. She invited me to come along sometime to fellowship which I did the following week.
I don't forget that day and it was no way a coincidence.

I’ve known the Lord my whole life. As a child, Jesus was my best friend and constant companion. Through tragic circumstances I drifted away and became lost. In 1995, I was asked to attend Good Friday Mass. I was not Catholic, nor am I Catholic today, but I went to the mass. It was very ritualistic and I was mechanically going through the motions. As the mass proceeded through the Stations of the Cross, something happened to me at the fifth station. That is the station that symbolizes Christ being assisted by Simon the Cyrenean to carry the Cross. In my spirt, and not audibly, I heard the question: “When are you going to help me carry the cross?” I started to physically shake. I had to sit down. A thousand emotions went through me all at the same time. I tried to “shrug it off” but could not. I had to give an answer. I rededicated my life to Christ and though there have been trials, tests, failures and successes, the sum total have equaled a life transformed for the better. I look forward to this process every day.

I know the power of the Holy Spirit; I know that transforming, miracle working power; that wonder working power of the Lamb. I’ve seen miracles that have astounded medical experts, but they are no more powerful than the miracle accomplished in me.

Every day with Jesus is an adventure.

Shalom.

Here is my log for the first two months of my awakening.

Mars 2011
- I am a non practicing Catholic.
- I was a very scientific person.
- Started being attracted to spirituality, via the Near-Death Experience.
- Rapidly started to awaken to spirituality on a global scale.

April 2011
- I can hear light code more consciously now in both ears.
- Read the Hidden Hand material.
- Feeling pressure around my third eye. After forgiving everyone and everything, including the Elites that control our world.
- Sensing energy swirling on my forehead and around my head.
- Started feeling extra-dimensional beings. Mostly negative beings. This includes psychic attacks.
- Problem sleeping. Awakening often during the night. Some nights I get only 2 or 3 hours of sleep. BUT I feel fine anyway when I get up. :)
- My intuition is now very sharp. We all create our own Truth (each of us). Use discernment with all information whatever the source.
- Started getting ear tones in the right ear or the left ear.
- Reading the Law of One. (very good read)

This last one changed everything for me. Links in my sig.

The easiest way to save yourself/be saved

Step 1, make the decision to be a righteous person.
Step 2, Act upon your decision and do righteous deeds.

Then you will reap what you have sown. And ta-da....you will be saved because of the righteous deeds you did, so you saved yourself.

If it was discovered that Mother Teresa had committed murder as a teenager and then proceeded to accomplish all the good works that her life was dedicated to, would she still be guilty of murder? We are not saved by works. Jesus paid the price for all sin and it's a free gift; that's very good news.

Yes she would still be guilty of murder. But because of all the good deeds she did she deserved to be forgiven.

Yes we are saved by our words and deeds.

I was sitting in a bar drinking, and God said to me, I'm not a hypocrite, so drink another....

Cool stories. I wasn't saved. I was kicked in the ass and drafted.

We are not saved by our words and deeds. We could never ever become good enough. That is why Jesus came down to die for our sins. However, we must do our best to do what Jesus told us to do.

Would a righteous judge be required to judge her as "guilty?" The answer is "yes," if indeed she is guilty. How can she escape judgement? Nothing can replace the damage caused by the crime.

The Bible declares we are "all" conceived spiritually dead incapable to respond (dead means dead); "We" cannot believe,have faith,repent,accept Christ,etc "unless" we become born again an action by God alone,"we" cannot get ourselves saved (these are the good works)."We" bring "nothing" to the table.

God elected a people for himself before the foundation of the world,the Bible describes them as a "remnant" chosen by grace.

The only way we can even approach God is with a broken and contrite heart.However, this does not guarantee salvation.

If you can never ever be good enough then why was there effort put into you?

Ofc you can, wake up.

Jesus taught humanity healing for a reason. Damage can be healed.

By the stripes put on His back and His blood shed on the cross, we ARE healed. TYJ.

Then why is there still fear, hate, greed etc etc in alot of people? Humanity is obviously NOT healed.

It's a broken world and will remain a broken world until all things are made new. And they will be made new when Christ returns in glory. Until then, we abide here as imperfect creatures in desperate need of a savior. There is nothing good in me and all my good works are like "filthy rags" to God. Thankfully, I am cloaked in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. That is my salvation from this broken state. I look forward to that wonderful day of complete restoration.

Yes, it really is that simple... to have Jesus in your heart and to LIVE the life he wants you to live, EVERYDAY! I too, cried for your heartsorrow. My testimony: For me, even as a small child I heard the sweet voice of Jesus I wouldn't have made it through those growing years if I didn't know their was TRULY a father of perfect love, ...and those teen years are TERRIFYING!!!! Right? I knew the word of God was true, that Jesus would be their for me even though I couldn't see him,,, the words of the bible has always talked to my heart with Gods power. This means, how do I say this? You can feel the cosmic super power of Gods words within the words in the bible. How it will touch your "heart" piercing through with power ...and his most gentle love... Gods words speaks directly to you, {JUST TO YOU.} You can feel this. This shows that the word of God is a living thing. So for me, I could NEVER denie God Jehovah is REAL. When I was somewhere in my early 20's I was in a unexpected seeing death right before my eyes accident The truck almost went down a straight down step hill that would have been a death fall In those few seconds where I was seeing my death right before my eyes I knew I was not ready to meet the maker of my soul and I knew that my soul was all that mattered (to be saved in the blood of Jesus.) once one dies... and for it to have the blood of Jesus applied to my heart,so that I could go into those pearly gates of Heaven (God will LOOK for only one thing.) This all that matters to him. Do I have his most sacred name of Jesus written on your heart. If not then you cannot enter in the eternal realm of God Jevohahs home. Oh my gosh, the words screamed in my mind I almost died! but why didn't I? Those truck wheels was on the very edge of the steep hill. Did I relent, right then and seek after salvation? No, but then not long after I saw a movie this woman dies just through a clumsy fall where she hits the top temple side of head on the edge of her living room coffe table How so simple... this can happen to anyone! It made me realize I HAD to be responsible for my soul My soul is my on responsibility. But this women died from just getting her feet caught into a coffee table, my heart and mind cried out I've got to be responsible I know, for me I can't be a naysayer. Death can happen this quick and that fast??? wake up, wake up, from the dead souls sleep I know God Jehovah counts out the days of my life They are in hands alone! Pretty terrifying I went to church, cried out to Jesus for salvation of my soul with all my being. After a little while Yes, It didn't come instant Jesus gave me his salvation, for me this time I felt the living water spring up within me starting at my stomach and thru-up my chest. I live with the joy that I have inherited all of Gods promises in my life. I smile and know I have hope within him and all good things will come to pass and be in my life. amen. Seek Jesus with all your heart, with all your mind Fast until you reach his heart. It wont be so easy through I have to say Jesus is drawing back his spirit, even as I type these words It makes my hands tremble, Truly. Take out all sin in your life (That simple) In doing so you will feel the joy this brings Sin causes heartach. blessings from above, One eyed women. May the goodness of God fill you joy, ,,,and hope. A good person is never alone. God sees your good works and smiles on them. Many holyghost saints are praying for you. Keep your eyes on Jesus and his words they will lead you to Heaven.

> Is it really as simple as some say, or does it take a lot of learning

It wasn't simple at all for me. It took years of living in a world where nice guys finish last and suffering the consequences of being honest (i.e. lost jobs, no relationships, loser city). As I got older I realized the Holy Spirit speaks to me through my heart (my conscience) and helps me to discern truth. Status, wealth, success no longer mean anything to me, only the truth.

Having said that, it didn't have to be so difficult....it was just my pride "to make it in this world" that got in the way. It takes longer for some to accept their plight with a humble heart and to be thankful for what God provides and what Jesus did for us.

It doesn't take any learning once you understand that all truth is discerned through the heart.

It's a broken world because people like you dont heal yourself. Healing yourself is renewing yourself. Either way, the meek will inherit the Earth.

Okay neighbor. This is the point of impass. I pray that God gives you everything you need. Shalom.
