As believers our faith is not limited to, but significantly experiential. What has the Lord done in your life recently or in your walk with Him?

Essentially what I'm asking is have you experienced anything in your life where you have either learned of the character of God or any guidance in your life from Him? It doesn't have to be anything personal, just anything about how you recognize His presence or guidance in your life.


I’ll start by saying this is the first board I've been on because I'm generally not a social person. So when I registered here it was really only to play the games. When I started posting it was just random, to gain viz like all the other newbies. Actually though, the quality of this board and it's users (not just the Christians) motivated me to post more often. Also, when I registered I wasn't aware of the Christian forum; it's awesome to know there are other Christians who are into retro games.

So with that said, I believe the Lord directed me to this website to fill in the gap of my down-time off work. Aside from this website, what I've recently experienced with Him is that there is a growing realization that day by day there is friendship with Him; I'll never fully grasp the awesomeness of that.

I love this idea... I think I'll sticky it, it's so good!
Also...
I believe that, during camp a couple weeks ago, God was truly working in me. Normally I'm not all that patient... you should see the way my brother and I go at each other. But at day camp two weeks ago... I was put as one of the leaders in the tribe of the lone Downs' Syndrome kid at camp... and boy was he a handful. But... and this must have been God, or else I would have snapped by Tuesday... I was able to stay calm with him. Calmer than most other people, some of whom have known him longer.

bigNATE : The love of God is patience, definitely the Holy Spirit in you at the camp (read Galatians 5:22&23).

God has also been teaching me some patience. He is also working on me in regards to forgiving someone.

Hoochman : I can attest to that in your response to your latest banning.
I'm glad you appear to understand now... this one was simply that you needed a break from Debate forum, your posts were starting to lack substance.

Praise God for giving me my job which I've had for a little more than a month. Its coming to an end in a week and a half because it only goes for the summer. Even though it is almost at an end, it is good of God to finally provide me with a dependable job.

Glory to ye all who have posted on this thread. No man/women can say the Lord has done nothing for him/her. The Lord has lead us all to this particular thread. I praise the Lord every day for what he has done for me. At school a group of my friend and I preach to random people. I thank God for the friends I have, and I hope all of you do to.

I am the prince of peace. Lord of Light mr.pace.

First, for the past year I have been depressed somewhat to the degree that I might consider it severe. I was laid-off my job, no big deal, except I can't get work anywhere because I waited too long to try; and now most everywhere wants recent employment for the past six months as the prerequisite for hire.

As such, I've been attending a tech school for some time now, which has job-placement upon completion.(Finished and working now)But anyway, because of issue after issue adding up, I've distanced myself from everyone, including not going to church.

So because I'm not talking to friends really that much, I've found this site to be a tremendous blessing for its Christian forum being on a video game / general message board.
With this forum I can have at least some contact with other Christians, which helps me to focus on the Lord.

Second, I've been trying to communicate a truth of Christianity to someone for some time now and it's always been an intolerant view for him. Apparently it has "clicked" to the point where he's now attending a Christian church. Further, him and I were talking about a certain subject which led to another subject, and my reply came as I was going to say something to him, then out of nowhere, I was inspired to say something else which I was not even focusing towards.

So I told him and he accepted it finally, because he has been trying to figure it out for a couple years now, and point being is that my response was not of myself, but of Christ!

Okay... awesome that people have an interest in Christianity, however, posts that aren't contributing to the title of the thread aren't any different from other threads .

God is to truly thank for every thing good in my life. Some of the more memorable things recently would have to be when he sent my uncle out to stay with us while he was looking for work last year and he took me to his church in which I was baptized and found a family in my new christian community. And even though my mom doesn't go with me and we now go to separate churches, I still attend regularly every Sunday. Had that not happened, I still might not be going to church. The next most memorable thing would have to be discovering the conservative Christian's forum on this site. Ever since I started visiting this christian friendly forum, I feel like I've been able to strengthen my bond with God even further than before, and I am very thankful for this.

I am truthfully thankful we have a savior to watch over us while we live..God has recently kept my 2 great grandparents alive even though they are both over a hundred and living. I am thankful that Jesus died for I sins and I am happy many people believe what I believe.

The end of June marked the end of a college class.  It was my third attempt at History 103 (United States I).  As with other classes, I had been fearful of what others would think about my work.  I was so fearful that some assignments would never get submitted.  My first attempt at History 103 ended with a D.  Not even 65%.  My second attempt had to be cut short so I could focus on other classes, so I ended that class with a W (withdrawal).  During my third attempt, I was really applying what I had learned from my first to attempts.  I was talking to my instructor more, and I was getting help from tutors early.  But even then, I was still afraid to hand in my papers.  As the moment of handing in a book review crept up, I finally had enough.  I was sick and tired of postponing it and decided to just hand my papers in and leave it in God's hands.  God got me through the class with an overall grade of 95%.  If anyone cares to, I recommend watching and listening to this music video on Youtube.  I listened to this one often during the semester. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV0CZTss85E

I have also been going through a rough time dealing with my worldview.  As a music enthusiast, I would search on Youtube for music videos to help me try to understand things.  Unfortunately, my darkened worldview took everything positive out of five music videos I had been watching.  The road to recovery -in this scenario- is still going on at a slow pace, but God is doing something.  I have another song I recommend listening to.  If you get the chance, listen to Lamps by Esterlyn --the same band as the music video link provided above.  Basically, I now believe that the problems that we see all too often are simply more of a purpose I have to serve God.  It is not the best, but it is something.

I personally believe he was at my side in those times where I was failing miserably and he helped me out in things such as final exams, getting friends, etc. I'm glad he helped me out, because my life is a lot better than it used to be a couple of years ago.
