In honor of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection, can you please share your salvation experience? When did you first believe and decide to surrender your life completely to the Lord?
“But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.” Mark 16:6

Good morning! I first believed on Easter 1998. I went to church for Easter service and Gods word came alive to me of his great love through Jesus and I surrendered. I fell away after 11 years and in 2019 I surrendered again to the Lord and God picked me up praise the Lord I’m alive with Christ!!
In December 2022, I made a declaration that I wanted to live for God. I was honestly tired of the lifestyle I was living. All of the partying, drinking, living any kind of way was truly becoming old for me and I was truly doing it for comfort. I’ve never really enjoyed what I was doing and honestly felt conviction alot while in the midst of sin. I remember being on Bourbon Street for an event and I had a drink in my hand and an unknown lady came up to me and said to me, “You know you’re not supposed to Be out here. God loves you so much. He’s still ready to forgive you.” She said a few words. I cried.
Fast forwarding to December 2022, I had just got home from an extremely drunk night. The next morning, I cried and asked God to please deliver me. I remember saying whatever you have to do, do it. Take the taste out of my mouth. I prayed. Later that day I started experiencing very weird health issues. I lost cognitive function, experienced severe anxiety attacks and it honestly felt like I was not even living. I had several MRIs, amongst other things. I significantly reduced drinking alcohol and doing things I used to do. I was in Law school during the time. God kept me throughout it all. I was approved for weight loss surgery in June 2023, where I couldn’t even drink. I never picked up the habit of drinking after that. I’ve made a couple of mistakes but I just stopped. I prayed the prayer of salvation and I started striving to live right, seriously. I made mistakes but I repented and kept trying. I began to notice that the mistakes became less and less and now here I am today, law school graduate, waiting for bar results to post, saved sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost for real! I am taking it day by day, but once I truly accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and started acting on it forreal, my desires shifted, my heart shifted, my mind shifted, my lifestyle shifted. God can and God will. I didn’t want just God for the things, but I Love Him, I want eternal life and Life on Earth with God is just better! Lol. It just feels better. Even when storms come, the devil is being the devil, GOD IS STILL GOOD! His Word proves to be true every time! He will protect, He won’t put more on you that you can bear, He won’t allow you to be destroyed by weapons! God is GOOD! I’m 38, single with one child and I’m committed to living this life for God because I want to live again. Live for God young women! Life is just BETTER with Him! You’re going to go through things even while saved, but He won’t leave you!! Life is STILL just that, BETTER!
I have always believed in God and the sacrifice of his son Jesus for our sins so that we may have eternal life. I was in my word but not like I am today. In March 2024 I had a cardiac arrest at 49 I was down for 20 minutes through the help of my children’s father who just so happen to visit that day. I ended up in a coma on a ventilator for 8 days in ICU for about a month. I made it home before my 50th birthday on April 1st. I was given a defibrillator/pacemaker. When I got home I was told what happened to me and I did not take it seriously because I did not remember anything. I forgot the relationship with their dad which has been 30 years since high school. I remember him but not who he was to me. On May 5th my ICD shocked me and it knocked me out. When I got to the hospital I saw my oldest son and their dad standing in the ER room looking at me. They looked terrified. I was told the next day in ICU I was shocked 43 times. The pain was there of course but it was the look on my family faces and the staff who was caring for me. I didn’t take the time to appreciate that God gave me a 2nd chance and that moment I knew He made it happen not to hurt me but to teach me and to allow me to see that what I was dealing with was serious. I had surgery and stayed in ICU for 2 weeks. I felt the hand of God on me and I will never take that for granted. I know I have a purpose and I am blessed to be here to witness my first grandbaby. I am still dealing with fear and PTSD but I read my bible and talk to him everyday since this has happened. I do this before I get up for work and before I go to sleep. I lost a lot financially and relationships but I gained so much more. My relationship with God is what I gained and to this day I will always love and appreciate what He allowed to happen to me because it changed me for the better. I have changed a lot. I put my faith in Him because He is the only one to see me through. It’s hard right now but I know He will turn it around for me. I am so blessed to have Him in my life everyday and second of my life.
It was Easter of 2023. I was taken to church by my past relationship which I was going through some really hard times we had been living together for three years and my world had been turning upside down that year. I didn’t know what to do so I figured that going to church would save the relationship, but Little did I know that God was intending to save me from the relationship that year of December 23. I was baptized. I gave my life completely to God ended the relationship and ever since then I have not looked back. God saves me. God has redeemed me. God has sanctified me, and now I stand whole healed, delivered free, and holy before my Lord, I don’t know where I would be if he hadn’t saved me that day, I had been lost in my entire life, empty seeking vein, vanity, bottomless relationships, and now I can’t give God more honor and praise because he saved me. He picked me up so many times saved me from so many destructive things my entire life, but I wasn’t able to see that until I came to him and surrendered my heart and now I just try to live. My life surrendered submitted and forgiveness daily. There’s not one moment that I have a regret of turning away from the world the good the bad and the ugly are now worthy of his honor to live this life for him because of what he has done for me on the cross and it breaks my heart that he had to do that, but in the breaking of my heart is how he brought me to him, and now I lay my life at his feet with all that I am is because of him thank you my loving Jesus, my Lord, my savior, my redeemer, my one true love 💗
I gave my life to Christ when I was 12. As I became older I strayed. I knew that GOD never left me. Later on in my30’s I came back to fellowship with my Lord. God bless you all! This devotional has been such a blessing to me.
Happy Resurrection Sunday! He got up from the grave with all
Power bin his hands
I grew up in a household where my parents only attended church services on special holidays, such as Easter, but weren’t saved. I started attending church occasionally with my best friend in high school. Then I started experiencing a spiritual fight in my mind where I wanted to be saved, but at the same time, the enemy was telling me that I should wait until I’m a lot older because I’ll commit multiple sins as a young person and by the time I’m older like in my 60s, I will be free from committing them lol. I rationalized with that mindset the whole time I was in high school and then in my freshman year of college, it really hit me that I wanted to get saved, but I didn’t have a church home to get baptized in. I spoke with my best friend‘s father, who was a pastor and then six months later while I was at school I attended a gospel concert. I met my pastor and assistant pastor (who became like a mother to me). I started going to that church and felt very welcomed and loved in comparison to many other times that I’ve visited other churches and I got baptized there two months later and have been there ever since. It’s been almost 11 years and I’ve grown tremendously spiritually, and am nowhere near where I used to be and do not miss being outside of God‘s covering. This is the best decision I’ve made in my life, and I know now that His grace abounds and the whole point of Jesus (Yeshua) dying, was so that we can be free and have access to God and not have to sacrifice multiple lambs for our sins because as long as we live, we will sin but as long as we repent and give it to God, then I believe we are in good standing with Him. Have a blessed day ❤️
10/1999 I got saved. Unfortunately, along the way I had fallen, but I’m grateful for the Finished Work of my Lord Master Savior Salvation and Strength Messiah Yeshua who reconciled me to my Abba God “Blessed Be His Holy Name.” My Daddy is Messiah Yeshua never left me and now I’m delivered (got 7 years clean and sober and 1.5 years I’m free from cigarettes). Giving All Praise Honor and Glory to Abba In The Holy Mighty Powerful Perfect Precious Sweet Sweet Name of my Lord Master Savior Salvation and Strength Messiah Yeshua.
Hallelujah and Amen and Amen ✝️🙏🛐🕊️
After two close encounters with death in the same year.
I walked down the church aisle to the alter around 11-12 years old because my mother told me to, I had no clue why or the true reason I was just being obedient. Later on when I was 15 yrs old I experienced the Holy Spirit at youth choir rehearsal. We were instructed to spread out in the sanctuary and pray aloud to God. I saw and heard the prayers of about 20-25 young people crying out to God which made me comfortable to to do the same. I asked the Lord to fill me with His Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues. I got up from the sanctuary floor feeling; different, lighter, confident that I was not alone and that God had me. That night before I went to sleep I laid in my bed and cried and asked the Lord to come into my heart, I confessed with my mouth again that I believe that Jesus died and rose for my sins ( I knew the ABC’s of salvation: Accept, Believe, Confess);but this time I understood, this time I felt God comforting me, I felt safe in His arms. And I knew without a doubt that I was saved.
I always felt God was real but never had my own experience. After trying for a baby and having a miscarriage. I realized I kept trying to do whatever I could in my own strength. God came to me through song and said his battle not mine and it all clicked. I gave it all to God trusted in his timing. Exactly a year after the miscarriage we were pregnant with our baby girl. Then I knew and I never wanted to leave his presence.
I received Jesus Christ into my heart at the age of 16. I was angry and sad before I really received Christ into my heart, I wanted to blend in with the “in crowd” and I was mad because I didn’t blend. I always stood out, the Lord was always there for me: hearing my cries late at night in my room and comforting me. The Lord has blessed me at being more bold to witness to people about the Lord, and it read, study, memorize and mediate in God’s Word. The Lord Jesus Christ spared my life when I was 2 years old I got hit by a car, broke both legs, broke my cheekbone, had an concussion I was wearing a body cast the Lord brought me through like He always does. I’m thankful. I love you Lord.
The Lord is my shepherd and strong tower! I shall not want for anything! He heard my many cries and rescued me I’m 63 by his grace and mercy. I found God when I was knee high to a bug. (9yrs)Just a little thing! He’s never left me nor forsaken me yet. Salvation is the Mark. God bless this ministry.
On a Good Friday service 32 years ago, I gave my life to Christ and I have never looked back since. It hasn’t always been perfect and I have needed his grace and forgiveness along the way but I have no regrets as Jesus is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. My mom was the one who encouraged me and my brother to give our lives to Christ. My brother eventually walked away from being a practicing Christian, but I remind him every day of the Good Friday we got saved and water baptized. I’m believing God every day for his salvation. I continue to live with expectancy and faith for the goodness of God, his divine protection and Grace and pray all may come to know him as Lord and Savior.
I received Jesus Christ into my heart when I was 10 years old I Red we come back we could die eggs exit exit exit a boy so we could eat them. Buy them firstdedicated myself to Jesus and got baptized again when I was 29 years old and from therefore the Lord has truly been good to me
It was the spring of 1st grade when I first committed my life to Christ. My family had a bedtime routine on sitting on the floor in the hallway between our bedrooms and joining hands to pray. My mother asked if I wanted Jesus to live in my heart and I said yes, so she led me in a salvation prayer. My dad and brother were there with us. Later in the fall, my brother and I were baptized in a horse through in our small church. Since then I’ve always known Jesus was walking with me guiding my steps no matter how imperfect I was. He has walked with me through many trials, like when my grandfather attempted to groom me for his sexual pleasure and God said stand up and run.
Six years later, my commitment had weakened and I wasn’t listening as well. A coworker was having car trouble and asked for a ride home, then raped me. I struggled for several years, but God was still working in my life. He sent wise counsel and good friends.
Four years later he sent my husband. We met while going the wrong way down a one way street in Ft Smith Arkansas. He was from Washington and stationed in Hawaii. I was living in Springdale and attending the U of A in Fayetteville. Only divine appointment brought us together.
Our life was not always easy, but God provided friends, coworkers, and a praying family. We experienced many deployments, a miscarriage, PTSD, and financial difficulties. Yet God got us through it all, and sent a pastoral counselor to mend our relationship.
My mother died young at 53 1/2 yo. Her death prompted me to be consistent in my faith with scripture, prayer and church attendance. My husband began to go to church again and thing were going better. Then he re-enlisted and was killed in Iraq about 4 months after our serving son was born. As a single mom, God has been a husband to the husbandless and a father to the fatherless. he lead me through the challenges of single parenting. On a mission trip to India, I listened to wrong voices and started seeking a husband instead of trusting God. I was in church 2 – 3 times a week, but not faithful in between. After 3 years of wrong thinking and poor choices, God woke me up and called me back into closer relationship. That was in 2012. Since then I’ve experienced many difficult losses and moves to Washington and Las Vegas. God has provided jobs in health and education. He led me to seek higher education in counseling and I’m now an LPC. I was assaulted by my dad and he grabbed the steering wheel of my car attempting to kill us both. I know it’s is dads lack of impulse control due to frontotemporal dementia and that God stopped him. I’ve had several health issues with stress overload, anxiousness, and diagnosis with Hashimoto’s, yet I know he’s still protecting, providing, and working on me using the skills he’s equipped me with to serve others. He is also sending constant support through friends and ministry as I walk the path of an empty nester and widow. I have two sons, a daughter-in-law , and two grandsons. I’m seeking God daily in scripture and prayer. Even though it’s not an easy journey, my faith is strong and God is continually with me providing all that I need. Much love to father, Son, and Holy Spirit, it’s a blessing to be so loved.
As a child I grew up in a Christian childrens home after being given up from my parents, I was taught the Bible. Fast Forward to 2019 I decided to transform my life in the image of Jesus Christ and seek his wisdom, love, and ways.
