God saved me!

Sat Feb 7, 2009, 5:34 AM
Yes I know many people wouldn't believe me.. YES I AM A CHRISTIAN!

A month ago I would have said GAHH!!! Christianity is just bullshit, there isn't any God or whatever, and I really hated Christians/Catholics because I remembered them knocking on my door trying to convert me and on the streets mobile preachers trying get me to go to the Church and etc.

In my family.. my dad is a Buddhist, my mum a Catholic, my sister a Atheist but with buddhist beliefs and my brother is also a Buddhist and now me a Christian! Religious harmony huh? Don't place too much hope!

So many people wonder how the hell I got "brainwashed" by the Church. I remembered like in early January when my mum was saying that some day I would believe in Christ.. then I flipped and yelled at her like.. "IT'S ALL BULLSHIT! GOSH!" Then on the next day I was invited by a ex-squadron mate to a etiquette seminar.. little did I know it was sponsored by his church but anyways I still went through with it, so my friend asked me.. "So you wanna come to service tomorrow?" Then I was like.. "Huh? What service!?" At that time I sort of forgotten what service meant in Christianity terms, then after thinking for a bit.. I was like ohhhh!!! anyways I still agreed, well if it was the old me, I would have said "No" but! somehow after watching Yes Man I felt that I was like the old Jim Carrey in the film, I tend to make alot of excuses to not go to places.

So yeah the day came! So i went to my friend's church.. its called City Harvest Church, its the biggest charismatic megachurch in Singapore with 25,000 members and growing. So yeah there I was in the HUGE underground auditorium seeing everyone with their eyes closed hands up in the air praising the Lord with the hip worship songs, well it felt totally like I was in a rock concert, with that many crowd and singing together! However I was still very skeptical about the religion and then yeah the Pastor started preaching about something from Genesis. Then after that they got the cell group leaders to gather the n00bs.. yeah like me! to the in front of the stage then they started what they called spiritual baptism so yeah there I was standing with 2 of my newly found cell group friends Yuanxing and Nicholas praying in tongues with me so I was like.. errr? How am I supposed to do that... and then yeah I tried to move my tongue alittle and I sounded incredibly funny and slow but then I felt this very soothing sensation going through my body.

Then as I got home I started contemplating on what happened to me.. then yeah somehow I gotta give the cell group an answer if I were still going to continue to go to Church and stuff. Then before I went to bed, I closed my eyes and wrapped my fingers together and prayed to God and asked him if I was ever destined to be a Christian, then I would want a sign from him.

So yeah this sign didn't come however.. Miracles started happening to me.. things that I thought of wanting just came to me like that.. honestly I got ALOT of testimonies to share if you guys want to talk to me via Windows Live Messenger. Anyways yeah so that was how God showed me that he wanted me to worship him, love him and serve him.

You should have seen the look of my Dad's face when I told him I became a Christian...Dx


Yes Man is frigging good film by the way. Good things started to happen to me when I started saying yes to people! Hahaha! Somehow I felt that God planned me on watching Yes Man. Woooow Amen to that!

If you have a dream from God, there is no Demon in hell, there is no Angel in heaven, there is no person on the earth can stop that dream from coming to pass with God. Nothing is impossible!

My father's a Catholic (Argentinean, naturally), and my mother should be an atheist (like 90% of Taiwanese) or a Buddhist. She tries hard to be a Christian (goes to church events, etc.), and have Christian friends because it's hard (or impossible) to be both an atheist and a neoconservative in America.

Me, I'm still an atheist. Always have been and given my age, it's less likely to change, heh.

Why not? I'd NEVER thought I would change either!

Well, for starters, I've already been to more Christian services than I can remember (along with 4 years of a Catholic school, which was actually probably the best school I ever went too). They still haven't convinced me. :)

Statistically, Christian conversions of someone of my background are much more likely to happen during childhood or adolescence, and then the likelihood drops enormously (which is why, in a huge extended family in Taiwan, probably around 30 people I can think of immediately, none of them are Christians). It just doesn't really happen....

But the main point.. have you convinced yourself?

One who goes to church frequently yet still doesn't adhere to God, isn't a Christian.

One who says he is a Christian yet doesn't go to Church isn't a Christian either.

Have you really saw God as your saviour? If you did.. you need to have faith!
