I'm still walking the journey. I have always been spiritual in the sense that I believed that God existed. But I started last year to really build a relationship with God past knowing he's there and praying to him sometimes.

For me it is just I realised that my life was filled with negative thoughts, negative feelings, negative relationships & hatred of myself etc etc all that yucky stuff. & I kept reading quotes like "fearfully wonderfully made" and "do not call imperfect what God has created" and I realised that for him to really hear me and for our relationship to mean anything I would have to start believing that.

I am just embarking on my career and in this economic environment it is difficult to stay positive, hopeful and faithful. So I continue to build myself in Christ so that I a, content in every situation for I know God blesses all my plans. With God NOTHING is impossible and I know having doubt in my heart stops the Holy Spirit from working in my life. & I no longer want to be on the edge! & with God I no longer have to be.

That is just part of me changing for Christ lol. ]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:13:04 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/life-for-god_topic353963_post10104506.html#10104506 <![CDATA[Life for God : I tried it my way and it only...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/life-for-god_topic353963_post10104487.html#10104487 Author: BeatriceBean

I tried it my way and it only led to misery. I didn't grow up in church or in a religious, "spiritual" or God-fearing home. But I was facing the end of my life as a result of my terrible decisions and I knew that I needed to change.

God never promised that life as a Christian would be easy, or even easier, but I know that I have rest in knowing that He holds my future.

God has shown great mercy in my life. I been through thick and thin and he has always told me he got my back. It may sometimes seem like his answers are taking forever but he knows what he is doing. He always takes long because he has to put everything in alignment for the course to be smoother for me. I always look at myself as not lucky but blessed.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:17:56 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/life-for-god_topic353963_post10104421.html#10104421 <![CDATA[Life for God : laceyfront wrote:I grew up...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/life-for-god_topic353963_post10104420.html#10104420 Author: Naturalchick30

my husband and i got saved together. we always knew that we eventually wanted to live for God but we also wanted to do us which meant shacking up, drinking, etc.

A series of very emotional and life changing events sort of just lead us to him. it was definitely time though. when God calls you there is no running and hiding. Its like a magnetic force.

Im soo glad we experienced this journey together. We know how to be patient with each other and love unconditionally the way God loves us. We have even been able to really help some married couples who have come to us for advice.

The road hasnt been easy but life in general isnt easy. i have a peace and joy even in the midst of pain, loss struggles etc that keeps me pushing forward.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:54:19 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/life-for-god_topic353963_post10104387.html#10104387 <![CDATA[Life for God : Cosign, the person who wrote I...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/life-for-god_topic353963_post10104203.html#10104203 Author: JamCaygirl

Cosign, the person who wrote I don't look like what I've been through.

I cannot believe how God has answered my many prayers and I'm still struggling to convince myself that I deserve the blessings... Man can make you feel so unworthy of God's love and mercy and that is my battle right now

Thanks to all who have posted! Your stories are enlightening as well as encouraging. I also have many reasons that brought me to except Yahweh into my life. One of the reasons is the mercy and grace He gives me everyday. Knowing that I'm a human born into sin but Him accepting me, loving me, and comforting me make me want to serve Him and to be a witness of His love. I have learned to be grateful each and everyday for what I have. I've learned patience, forgiveness, and endurance. I now have peace and joy!! All praise to Elohim!!]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:51:20 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/life-for-god_topic353963_post10103651.html#10103651 <![CDATA[Life for God : Jr1127 wrote: AshBash89...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/life-for-god_topic353963_post10103650.html#10103650 Author: AshBash89

For those who are saved and have chosen to live a Christian lifestyle, what helped you to make your decision? what were the hardest changes you had to make? What are the benefits you feel living for God

Just realized that I didn't formally answer the OP.

1. I'm really not a 'Christian', I'm a believer who didn't do away with the Old Testament.

Well like I said, I've always had an active relationship with God, and I was raised in a home that encouraged analytical and critical thinking, so as I became a teenager and life happened, I had some questions for God. Those questions led to me digging for answers. I was honestly looking for answers instead of reasons to disprove God's existence, which is what I find a lot of people do. Anyway..

2. What helped me to make my decision was the truth that I found, coupled with the truth that I'd lived so far, along with this feeling...like a magnet pulling my heart. Like someone knocking on my heart every day. It is all I thought about...I was drawn to it. God literally called me to truth and I couldn't resist.

3. The hardest change I had to make was to stop relying on my own understanding, and denying the ego. A lot of Christian churches don't touch this subject, but the truth is, one cannot have a true relationship with the God of Israel and have an ego at the same time. We're not perfect, but we have to be conscious and honest about ourselves.

4. I answered what the benefits are for me in my other post.

I was honestly looking for answers instead of reasons to disprove God's existence, which is what I find a lot of people do. Heart

Well I'm not a Christian, but I will answer anyway...

From my understanding the Most High of Israel calls his children when he deems them ready. That's how I got into this word. When you are called, you're able to receive a certain type of understanding and wisdom that most people don't have. Each and everyday I give all praises to The Most High of Israel for giving me the wisdom and understanding to be able to endure in this wicked society.

Most of the changes that I needed to make came gradually and surprisingly were not difficult at all. When you have a sincere fear of The Most High, everything that you are commanded to do comes easily. And quite frankly, the LORD has no qualms about kicking me in the rear if I refuse to listen

The biggest benefit is not having to worry or wonder why things are the way it is. I understand HIS will and the promises he made to myself, the elect and 1/3rd, so now I feel secure. I also understands the judgements that HE and HIS Angels execute everyday, so I'm never caught off guard. My ability to discern and see things from a spiritual perceptive always keeps me prepared for all the enemies and demons that come my way.

OT: I always wanted to get up and testify and say ""I'd like to give an honor to god who is the head of my life..." and then name drop half of the congregation when I was a kid. I'd always wonder why they'd give honor to the pastor, the deacons, their wives and decendents. I never understood it.

I always knew god was the answer . I donot consider myself saved and free from sin . No one is my op .The lord save my life and bless me too many times to count . I will never stop trusting god . You have to pray and he will answer . Some people think it works like magic .
