For those who 'received Jesus Christ', anyone had a major change in their life story?

Has anyone something to share about something specific that changed in your life, some

specific situation, or way of living that gave you more experiential evidence for the truth of the bible for you? Things like 'Yeah, it's all great', or 'It's nothing like before' don't tell people anything. So please put in real things, real time frames like 2 years ago, 2 months ago etc. I know how our lives changed and would like to read yours, thanks.For those who 'received Jesus Christ', anyone had a major change in their life story?
I'm 17 now, but ever since I was a young teenager, l was strongly attached to pornography, and as the years went by, it turned into an addiction. it took over my life, it became all i wanted to do in my free time. it got so bad that it started affecting the way i saw women and even treated my female friends.

one day my mom asked me what i do on the computer and i had to tell her. from there, she told me that i needed to ask God to help me let go, and it was not easy at all. in fact, it probably was the most painful experience i've ever been through. i continually prayed to God to help me overcome my addiction, and i kept on succumbing and succumbing to the ever-present temptation.. but the amazing thing about the grace of God is that there is no point, you can never go too far away from God for him to grab you, and pull you right back, and the very same is true for me. even though i had accepted Jesus into my heart, i knew that i wasn't being true to that decision by constantly succumbing to all those sinful temptations around me. but it was by repeatedly going back and asking God for forgiveness that i got the chance to start over again.

the thing about porn is that it can never fulfill or satisfy your desire, no matter how much you expose yourself to it, and it took me forever to learn that. and now, after having to suffer the consequences of my own actions, i lost all sorts of privileges, but it built a character in me. that's the beauty of going through an experience like that! it had become such a big thing for me that it turned into my way of life, and trying to give up a certain way of life is just about the hardest thing you can ever do! but through giving up my own control, humbling myself, and letting God show me the way, He brought me away from that way of life, and the beautiful thing is that i have this new character in me.

Now, i'm not at all saying that that's the end, that i won't ever be tempted again, but what i am saying is that now i have a new strong character in me with which i can choose to not succumb to temptations, because i know what pain it brought me before! just as Paul says in the Bible, it's ever man's battle, and an everyday battle. but i can resist it because of this strong new character i have in me, thanks to the grace and everlasting love of God. for that reason, i know that God exists, is present, and very alive in today's world. Praise the Lord, and thanks for the opportunity to share! God bless you!For those who 'received Jesus Christ', anyone had a major change in their life story?
yes every one is changed who has salvation in jesus



i changed over the 30 years from a selfish person only thinking of my self on putting others first in my life and loving them
My mum is a spiritual healer and when she was saving a baby girls life from meningitis she was asking for the highest sources to help. He came and stood right in front of her in our living room. Indeed, the baby girls life was saved and doctors said was a miracle.
I was an atheist dabbler when I converted a little over 2 years ago, and it was a big change.



My whole attitude had a makeover. It didn't happen overnight, but in the end I was, in my opinion, a much better person. I became more thoughtful, less critical, and more understanding towards peoples' problems. My use of crude language diminished considerably, and I actually got some good friends. Not to say I don't have my faults, but I have less of them.



On a less pretty note, my hygiene got a makeover too. I had no reason to care about my appearance. I had no love of showering, so my hair hadn't been shampooed in months and I didn't use soap (ew, I know, but I'm all better now). I didn't brush my teeth or wash my hands, and I didn't care about the way I looked. That probably was the result of my pre-Satanistic dabbling, and not my atheism, but it still changed after I became Christian. I cared about more things, both in regard to myself and to other people.



Loneliness had always been an acquaintance of mine, but I have never felt truly deserted since I converted (the rhyme was accidental, I swear).
nothing hugely life changing i guess. i've grown up in a Christian family and i guess the biggest things God has helped me with ids forgiving my step father who was abusive (which is sill an ongoing process) and learning that God isn't like any earthly father who will die and leave you.

just recently i've been really lost in my faith but i thought i should give it another go as i have a 7 month old son (i think i've been struggling with post natal depression but i'm not sure) and i am about to get married.i've just recently started looking at this devotional book about relationships and reading that and thinking about God has just always given me a real sense of peace that i couldn't possibly explain. He give me a real joy in my hard times. :)
I was a very skeptical person living as nominal Christian. I was a very successful in the sense I was making almost $1200 a month right here in India while my fellow workers were struggling to reach a third of that in 1995.



But things went haywire and my wife became a mentally challenged person after a child birth. I struggled with the children and job and somehow pulled on till 1998 and then gave up regular job. The medical treatments for my wife did not pay off!



By 2000 a person came to me past midnight and started talking to me about Jesus and Bible till early morning and that was the turning point.



I gave my life fully to Jesus and his service. First thing was to sit down with kids and read the Bible front to back several times, discussing every verse, almost 18 hours a day and in a year we read 5 times (all the time comparing various versions and seeing concordance for many words).



Then we dedicated out life to making a new translation in 6 languages that we are proficient with (because we have realized that not even one translation is honest). It is almost 8 years since we started working and it may take as many years more.



All this while we have been fed by the Lord, and even while we had been situations where we had no food (happens every now and then for long stretches), we learned not to complain and humble ourselves.



From a skeptical, arrogant, ambitious man to a humble man, I think it is a progress I made. During these years my wife accepted the Lord and has improved a lot and she assists in translation as a walking dictionary in 3 languages. And the Lord has given us wonderful kids who are polyglots and skilled, who are of great help.



Since we have gone through the extreme poverty we are working of feeding poor. There are lesser fortunate people with no means, and we have made a small start in this direction.



Whoever reads this, we request to pray for us.



Jesus Loves You,
