Testimonies of Searching and Finding the Truth

If you think that you can use yoga only for physical training and not be affected by its spiritual side, you are wrong. You are wrong if you believe the many websites and teachers in the West who declare that yoga is just a harmless physical exercise. The Bible warns of such spiritual seduction....

When I was six years old my father committed suicide and from that day onwards my mother started to drink heavily. It was a terrible time for my brother, sister and I. My mother was drunk almost every day and there was only fighting and shouting. At that time we lived with my mother's first husband and his new family and my grandfather, who were all alcoholics. Often I was lying in bed and dreaming of a real home somewhere where I would be loved and cared for. At the age of 13 I started to think of taking my own life to go to the place I dreamed of; I thought I would go to heaven, although I now know this would not have been the case!

Hello everyone,

My name is Andi and I would like to tell you how God helped me to choose the right way to take in life, and how I learned that there is a difference between merely believing that there is a God, and actually believing/trusting/obeying Jesus Christ and His Word.

When I decided to buy “the illegal book” for a quarter of my monthly salary, I met ‘by chance’ some Americans, who gave me a brand new Bible as a present. There was no way I could call it a coincidence! The Americans also told me about having a “personal relationship with God” and this phrase affected me greatly, and I could not get it out of my head… not icons, not “saints”, not even the church – but only Jesus Christ as mediator between man and God.

A guy gave me a Christian leaflet when I was 16 and I talked to him for a while. The conversation stuck in me as he mentioned that Jesus Christ would return. At the time I found this absolutely ridiculous and mocked him, I was with my sister and we were running late for the cinema. But through all the laughing I was really listening to him.  Read more about When I Received the Holy Spirit!

I must say I never really believed in God. I thought that somehow there must be something, but I was honestly never really searching. My mum read Bible stories out to us when we were young and she often told us about Jesus, today I know that in doing so my mum had already planted some seeds of faith. I sometimes went to Sunday school with my older sister, but I never really felt attached to the church. I had a fanatstic childhood and was  happy in my life but today I know that there is more to life. Read more about I was Always Happy in My Life, but There is More

I "pushed" the conviction away and at that time I thought "that was it", but I was still feeling a bit uncomfortable. Thankfully a few weeks later, the same conviction came back to me, but this time I knew deep down that this may be my last chance to decide to follow God.  Read more about Lucky to be Alive

"The following Tuesday I was meant to leave for three weeks to go camping in Bavaria. But what I had heard and seen from those Christians had captured me. I knew they had something which I wanted to have too, and I decided to get baptised. I did not want to leave before receiving from God the same thing as these people had..."  Read more about Saved from Depression and Loneliness

I knew that the Orthodox faith was not right and that it did not teach the Bible as complete truth; however, I knew that the church I grew up in also did not even attempt to follow all of the teachings from the Bible. In fact, I had become interested in learning about the Jewish holidays and religious practices, as well as Catholic practices because I knew I lacked something. I believed in Jesus Christ, but the faith was not "alive" in my heart, and I sought for that life in Christ whilst not knowing what really I looked for or how to even look...

I realised that if the Bible really is the Word of God, then I had better do something about it. So I spoke a lot to some Christians whom I knew, asking them questions about the Bible, about how it could be true, about whether or not it made sense and so on, but they couldn't answer all my questions...  Read more about Born Again!

I did not want to hear about that, because it meant that I would have to change my life, but I went on studying my Bible; reading about the miracles, such as when Elijah prayed for rain, or when Daniel survived being thrown into the Lion's den. I missed this power in church, where it was rather boring.  Read more about Saved after Healing

The next day I bought myself a Bible with the intention to show her that she wasn't right and if God was real and a loving one He would just let us do what ever we wanted, but as I read the Bible more and more over the next 3 months, I got convinced by the Word and day by day I started to think deeply about my whole life, the sins I committed...  Read more about Saved from the Highway to Hell

I had not long started a new job in 1985 when I was first introduced to someone whom I was told was a ‘born again Christian.' I immediately thought she would be some kind of ‘bible thumping' religious fanatic so I was cautious from the beginning.To my surprise however, she never actually preached to me, nor did she ram the bible down my throat but she did make an impression on me by...  Read more about Awakened to True Christianity Through Workmate's Testimony...

While my life was not ‘godly', by the standards of the World it was pretty blameless, although I knew that I could only be ‘saved by faith' alone, not by works. I knew the ‘God' part of my life was missing, my life felt incomplete, even with ‘success' with my career and a busy life.  Read more about Self-Sufficient I.T. Consultant – Now Peace and Real Life

When I was 19, in the year 1999, I was involved in a car accident in which my girlfriend and my cousin died. At this time, my uncle wrote to me saying I should be happy to be alive and not on my way to hell. I didn't agree...  Read more about How God Saved My Life!

The same evening, I decided that I need to know if there is a God or not and if He is a God that is “the same yesterday, today and forever,” He would be able to give me a sign to prove He is real. After I had prayed I waited and waited and waited and eventually fell asleep. Nothing happened, so it was clear for me there was no God. However...  Read more about After Years of Searching, I Came to Know God.

I did not have any peace or assurance of salvation... I wasn't 100% right with God and knew something was missing. For many years I lived in fear and asked myself the question “what does it take to be saved on Judgement Day?"  Read more about Loner Looking for Eternal Life
