Conversion Experience
My conversion experience was not a big event, it happened over a series of events. It started by me just want to go to church. This may have not been a big event to most people but to me it was what I need to grow. I remember going to church with my family and not being their mentally. My mind would be on playing or just goofing off. So back then, going to church didn't mean anything to me. When I made up my mind that I want to go church on my own will. I think it was a step in the right direction.
Second I started to ask question about the bible. This step was important to me because I simply want to know. I started asking question to my pastor first, because I thought a pastor should be able to answer most question

I hit a wall in my life: I had been out of a job for seven months, I had a one year old baby girl at home, my wife had just had a stroke and was unable to take care of herself, and I had been attending school for my bachelor in social work. I had nowhere to go and nowhere to run I just stop and started praying. In this pray I ask God for a job, protection of my family, and a healthy wife.
Some time had passed and he gave me all that I ask for. I got a job at a prison, my baby girl was ok and my wife's health was getting better. I got everything I ask for that tearful night but God had more in store for me. When I first started to work at this prison the work hours were terrible and I was going thought a lot of pain in his feet because of the hours and hours of walking. The pain in my feet and the terrible hours lead me to look for a new position in the prison.
In searching for a new position, I saw a position in the Chaplain Department was open and I knew that's what God wanted for me. I start ministry the first day I got the job. Form the first time in speaking to a crowd about God, I knew that I was called to be in

    “Lord please save my sister’s life. Please keep her safe even in the midst of her drunkenness and drugs. Jesus please keep her alive long enough to come to you for salvation.” I have been praying this for over 30 years and still I believe for her salvation. I am comforted by the knowledge that He hears my cries and has kept her alive thus far. In fact, last week she approached me about going to church again (she hasn’t gone since she was in middle school)!…

    Sometimes we think that our plans must lead down a better road, or that God must not love us enough to protect us from this pain we feel, but God actually uses the painful experiences to further develop our character. Vivian Thomas could have given up when it became too discouraging, but instead he persevered and became an inspiration to many people. During times that are hard, God teaches us more about life, ourselves, and most importantly, about Him. Sometimes it is even necessary to go through a difficult time before we are able to realize the ways in which we need to grow and…

    God is Faithful, He will show up: It’s not easy but we must have faith in God that He will show up. He may not come when you want Him, but he is always on time, and when He shows up He will show out. We must have faith in God. If we study the Word of God we find numerous historical examples of what God had done for those who have waited on Him to move in their lives. We can recall times when has answered our prayers, He came to our rescue and straightened it out and many times he blessed us exceeding above what we prayed for. He is faithful to us and we have to have faith in Him.…

    Leaning on God during this tough time helped my family and I get through it. Even though my grandpa is no longer with us, I now feel like I have an extra body looking over me. When I am working out, or competing, or even going through my normal everyday route, I know that my grandpa is right by my side leading me in the right direction. I do not think I would feel this way if I would not have turned to God during this difficult time and leaned on my…

    In the darkest of places, with God, hope shines through. Confirming this statement, “I lay aside my pride before God, who has taken me from nothing to make me who I am” (385). He became nothing, but he had hope and he laid everything down for God. Doing this took him from nothing, and made him who he is today. As well as, “God offered you a miracle, when … God sent you a fortune in the midst of your deprivation.” In the midst of his deprivation, despair, and distressfulness God sent some hope his way, sent him a miracle. When you are in a dark place God will be by your side giving you hope if you are willing to take it.…

    Your story is a good example of what if it'll turned out after a person yield to the call despite difficulties, or challenges. Maybe it’s really more appropriate to coined difficulties and problems, as challenges, because it will train our hearts and minds to see the problem as a challenge and no challenge is difficult with our God. I was reminded when by one quote by TD Jakes "for every vision, there is provision". And when God gives us a vision, eventually He'll also provide for the vision to be fulfilled. And it’s important for us to trust and have faith in God. This is what, I was reminded when I read your post pastor, I am convinced that I lack on this at times, I am even judging Gods judgment if he wants me to do something.…

    For me, it was the struggle I was going to have to face with the death of my father. Finally, after struggling with whether or not to comply with my father’s last wish I chose to go home against his wish. I arrived with just enough time to help comfort my mom and see my father. Three days after being home my father passed. This was the most difficult situation that my family had to face and we all had to support one another. My faith was tested not just because of the loss of my father, but also the Catholic Church we had my father’s funeral at refused to do last rights. If you don’t’ know anything about Roman Catholics you need all seven sacraments to go enter heaven. My father had all his sacraments, except last rights given to him. The next line, I took this as a sign, God wanted me to sing! (81), interpretation of this line is, we all have to accept the issue at hand so we get past the tragic event so we can heal and be happy. For me it was not so easy, I am ask god, will my father be allowed to go to heaven as approached his coffin at his viewing. I continued to ask the same question over and…

    A Christian’s highest purpose and responsibility begins at the new birth from the conception of the Holy Spirit. In the life of Jesus, we see after the water baptismal event, is when His course took a turn toward His life mission and calling. After this reception of the Holy Spirit, Jesus’ full time ministry kicked off and a plethora of miracles followed. As Christians, we will have a new source of power and relationship with the Holy Spirit just like Jesus did. It explains in Acts 10:38, “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him” (New King James Version). Jesus promised the indwelling presence and person, the “Comforter,” our helper and guide to live the Christian life and fulfill our calling (John 14:16). We ask the most important question beginning the Christian life, how can I know if I received a call to full-time ministry? I remember asking this question even before becoming a Christian as I was starting out in the faith seeking. The type and call to ministry may be revealed to each one very differently. I knew I was called to ministry to serve in various capacities, and I believe ultimately later in life it will be pulpit preaching. It will be doing the small things first that make the big difference (Groeschel, 2014). Having started Bible college before about six years ago and putting it on hold, I truly felt like I was “kicking against the goads,” and had to restart the degree (Acts 9:5). My ministry now is completing the Christian Ministry degree program.…

    Ever since that move to the new church I have respected God more and found a way to incorporate him in my everyday life. Religion has really made my life more exciting, fun, and happy. If I were given a choice of choosing to become a christian or not I think I would choose to continue to be a christian. Having christianity as my foundation in life has led me to make the absolute best choices for myself. It has helped me stay away from all the things that people my age are tempted with, and I’m okay with that.…

    However, when some people pray, their prayers are not answered and they may begin the wonder about a God who answers some people’s prayers, but not others. For example; a young missionary couple asked the members of their church to pray that they would have a safe journey to their new posting in Nepal. However, the plane crashed killing them and their three young children.…

    Generational Curses

    In the fall of 1995, we went to the beach with our family as we did every year. While at the beach, God told me I would break the spirit of infirmity off my family – it was a generational curse. Generational curses are passed from parents to children. I did not think much of it because I thought I could simply pray “it” away! When we were leaving the beach, I had my first vision from the Lord. It was odd. In the vision, I was standing on a large stage and giving my testimony. Then God spoke to me that I would testify and begin a ministry called “The Word Works!”…

    My Personal Faith

    • 671 Words
    • 3 Pages

    My faith has enabled me to handle life challenges from my past and present. Some of these challenges have been series of events that I could hardly believe were happening, while others came with great joy. At five years old, my younger brother, Chandler, died unexpectedly. This was a tough challenge for my whole family to face. This challenge could have easily torn my family apart but together, as a team with God, we worked hard at picking up the pieces and moving forward even when there were days that seemed to be impossible. In the fifth grade, I was diagnosed with a common learning disability known as Attention Deficit Disorder. I am faced with this challenge on a daily basis. I have learned to cope with this disorder over the years by making prayer and patience priorities in helping me conquer this challenge. This challenge was especially difficult during my SAT and ACT tests. Certain scores on these tests were required to get into college and play NCAA football. The stress and pressure of taking these tests felt unbearable at times. While studying and before and during each test, I would remind myself that, through God, all things are possible. With God by my side, I was able to achieve the scores needed to reach my college and athletic goals.…
