Getting saved   
I was an agnostic was into new age stuff. Had a friend talk to me about Jesus I told him I wasn't interested but after a few months he talked me into goin with him to here a guy (Jessie Duplantis) preach . After he gave an alter call I went up to call his bluff said the stupid prayer and got "born again" and nothin ..I knew it was nothing. A few months later I moved to another town and was in business for myself and was working mega hours I decided to start going to Church. Mostly to get away from work but because I heard some one say " you have to come by faith" so again I called their bluff. One time the preacher stopped just after he started and said " the Holy Spirit is here and wants to take over and I'm not about to get in its way , so if anyone wants to get closer to God come up and we will pray." I'm thinking "yea right" So I thought this is going to be good so I went up to see what he had and call his bluff.
All that went forward got in a line in the front of the Church and started Praying. The pastor came to each of us and was speaking in tongues, which I thought was a bunch of crap , and touched each persons hands and in a few seconds they fell to the floor (called falling out in the spirit) I was then thinking " what a bunch of crap, they are falling down to get attention ,look at me I'm so Holy haha. Was he in for a surprize when he gets to me I'm not goin down... I mean you after at least believe in this crap right? So I stand there praying My prayer wasn't very Godly lol it was " ok here I am do me,you want me here's your chance".

When he did get to me he touched my hands and spoke in tongues I'm lookin up and saying well? And right then didn't my knees get week, I thought Bull s**t! I have been standing here for almost an hour thats why my legs are weak ...nothing this joker is doing. I leaned forward and locked my knees back so I wouldn't fall. I felt myself falling and fought it more saying NO! I don't believe in this it cant be. Then I hit the floor and right away tried to get up but I could not move. I didn't know why I couldn't move I tried again and again it was like I didn't have muscles. After about 10 minutes I was able to get up. Now I believe I am truly born again I speak in tongues and am Spirit filled and have had many encounters with The Holy Spirit.

And now I can tell you a fact ...Having a personal relationship with Jesus is the most Important Thing not just in life but everything.

Sometimes God has to hit you over the head before you look up and listen.

My experience was very different. (my story is in my shout box). God deals with different people in different ways.

The fact is that I have known, loved and served my loving heavenly Father, through the Lord Jesus Christ, for 50 of my 72 years. I have enjoyed a very REAL and rich RELATIONSHIP which means more to me than anything else.

I am much of a Church goer ..... never was - although born, baptized and disciplined as an RC - but the following is true ...and I'll make short.

I was diagnosed with blood cancer in 2001 - it was discovered just on time ... I had a few weeks left.
I took 12 chemo and 22 radio therapies ..... three time during the therapy I had reached the end.

I prayed so hard to Jesus to save me from death for a while ...just long enough to enjoy life with my GrandSons and GrandDaughter ..... every night and day for months.

Today I am clear from cancer - just being monitored with blood tests every 4 months - that's all, no drugs, no weaknesses - no pains. Doctors are amazed at the recovery - some say its a miracle - other say because I was very strong and an athletic type (was a weight lifter for nine years) then that helped my recovery.

What ever it was - I still say Jesus saved me (at least for a while) - and I still talk to Him - in my own way - no ceremonies , just plain talk.

This is the coolest story I have ever read, thank you so much for sharing it! I believe that God will get us through everything, especially when we think we can't do it on our own.

What an awesome testimony. It really had me chuckling. God was ready to give you a surprise, huh? That's just how God works.

I think the unsaved could probably relate to this, and it is a great testimonyto bring in the lost. Thanks for sharing!
