When did you KNOW (deep down) you were a believer?

I have been a believer since I was young. We always pray especially when someone from our family is sick. One time, my favorite aunt had a severe illness in the brain. The doctor said she will only live for half a year. We prayed a lot that time, and after a month, she woke up well and healthy. The doctor was really shocked because when he performed a test on her, she was already cured.

I was always brought up to believe in religion, however I stopped going to church when I went to secondary school because we were no longer made to say prayers at the beginning and the end of the day. Then, something happened to me during the course of my teenage years, and it made me go back to my religion. There was a moment when I was in church and I just got the most amazing feeling that everything was going to be alright. Since then, I have known that I believe, and I know that I will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

One night I woke up and could not move. I was coughing and could not breath. I thought I would die. I began to say the 23 psalms in my mind. Before I was done I was alright. That made a believer out of me.

When I experience difficult times I know and understand that I am truly a believer.

I am a believer but over the years I have struggled with it.I don't know when I really knew I was. I have been a believer of God as long as I can remember. I just had to dig deep in my soul to come to the conclusion on what I believe in and not waver!

It was when I was sitting on my bed and I was trying to respond to an athiests claim that YAHVAH (GOD) is not good. I spent weeks digging for proof, when before I would have never bothered. I stopped in the middle of my work and thanked YAHVAH for allowing me to tell this person the truth. It was like I "woke up" and I could see clearly. What a time!!! YAHVAH bless you valentinesdiner. :)

For me, it was a really rough time 2 years ago, I figured I was basically an agnostic at that time, and just about ready to leave a commerical cult/scam, and I really questioned the existance of G-d. I knew around that time that there was something inside of me that will not give up on the concept of G-d, and His greatness and faithfulness, and that I was trying to look outwards for my happiness but I couldn't. And when I tried to just throw G-d aside, I couldn't accept the idea that He doesn't exist. So that's when I started truly seardhing for Him to have a personal relationship with Him.
