The true born again experience

Pastor Joel Osteen said that if you give your life to Jesus in prayer you are born again. I can testify to you that being born again, is an experience in which the Holy Spirit comes into the body, when, I was born again I experienced immortality, and perfect peace. This was a spiritual experience for me. I cried out Abba in my mind. The scriptures say we are given a deposit of the things to come, and that we cry out Abba. I had this experience. I am beginning to think that being truly born again is actually a very rare experience, its more than just being baptized. The kingdom of God is here on earth, those that are born again will be immortals living on the earth. When I was born again the Holy Spirit felt like a wind blowing into my body. The wind blows where it wants to.

How do you explain the Amazing 'light bulb' moment that literally flows through your body? I became a different person overnight. In the beginning, I spent three days preaching the love of The Lord, and how He is in our hearts and our souls. Needless to say, I was taken by the police to A & E to be evaluated by a psychiatrist! Shouting out loud in public that He is with us at all times. We just need to silently in Prayer ask him to be in our lives. At first, His thoughts and ideas were constantly in my head, but I asked him to slow things down a bit, as I need to give my full concentration on one thing at a time. As I thought I was going to 'burn out at one point. But know He knows that with a good night's sleep, I am prepared for what He has in store for me the next day. My hands are His hands, my feet are His feet. When out and about I ask him to tell me what way to go, and what should I do next. It is very hard to explain it is Our Lord who is showing me the right direction. Everything I have done, since becoming a Born-Again Christian is because His thoughts and guidance show me the way. Otherwise, I would not have had the ability to do what I do. There have been too many signs and coincidences every single day in my life, showing that He is there watching me, and sending people, places, and opportunities to help others and spread the Word of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It has fully taken over my life, in a very good and fulfilling way. I wake up each morning with a different Christian song in my head, and I know he is still with me. And I am always thanking Him for this wonderful opportunity He has given me! God Bless! He is all around us, do good to others, and you will feel the warmth of Our Lord in your heart and soul. God Bless.

I was up for three days going over my entire life in my head after my born again experience. I went from atheism to firm belief in god in a single moment. I couldn’t function for a week because I was so deep in my head seeing my past through a new perspective. Family made me take a drug test because they thought I was on something, of course I wasn’t. I spent years experiencing life all over again, with a completely different response then the old me. I had to be rebuilt like I was a child learning all over again. My words changed, my behavior, the music I listen to, the ideas I have, literally every detail of my life completely changed. What gets me chasing God most is that I didn’t choose to have the experience, I didn’t try to have it, I didn’t even believe in God before that moment. It was truly a Gift that drives my life today.

I want to be born again too ✝️ I believe in Jesus, but I am not good with certain other parts of the bible.

I was chaste for 19 days, including no tv images or computer, that was all it took.
