My God Encounter

Scott’s encounter

I used to be a slacker, alcoholic, atheist. I grew up with no god. I didn’t care and didn’t want a god. Religion and god seemed like a crutch for the weak and fearful who needed some assurance in their life. I was into clubbing (raving at the time) and only needed some good weed, pills, a 40, and dope beats. I started running into people telling me I needed Jesus. Some invited me to Bible studies and church events and whatnot. I was not interested whatsoever. Late one night I saw a show about a gangbanger who had a real life encounter with Jesus Christ that turned his life around. I somehow got mad and curious at the same time and prayed my first real prayer ever. Right there, by myself in my apartment, I yelled in prayer for God to ’show himself’ if he was real. Nothing happened. I was convinced there was no God more than ever. But, a few months later after many more invites by Christians to churches and stuff, something happened. In my apartment, in the very same room where I had prayed just months earlier, God showed up! I had an experience with Jesus Christ that I will never forget. I had never felt such wonderful love and peace come over me and I began crying like a baby. It was like nothing I’ve ever known. The next day I ran into a guy who told me he was a dealer and his girl was a stripper, but Jesus turned their lives around. He invited me to church, so I went. When I was there, I asked Jesus to take my life and make of it what he could. I experienced a whole new change!
