Christon here.... something to share.... =)

You know, many times as a Christian, you sometimes do question your faith wondering whether God is real or not. It seems to be something fundamental that Christians would never doubt God's existence, that it is a firm and rigid understanding not to be questioned. There have been times when I have doubted God, going to the point of wondering what if God isn't real, what if all this is a lie? If all this is a lie, what's going to happen to me when I die?

Those were my thoughts at the age of 17, at a time where I'm in active participator in the church. It came at a time where I was not feeling depressed, not feeling lonely or anything like that. It just came to mind, perhaps after a conversation I had with a friend of mind who's an aethist. Let me tell, it feels awfully scary when you think about those things, all the 'What if?" questions should God not exist. Thoughts of death, and nothing after that was one of my main concerns. It really terrified me, and I talked to my parents about it, and my youth pastor as well, Kay Lee.

One thing that they all assured me was that, this is pretty much normal. Everyone at some stage of their Christian lives all doubt God, even his existence is questioned, just like my case. One thing that Kay told me was just to be patient for God to be evident to me. It's through life experiences that you know that God is real. That was at age 17. I then recommitted myself to faith, and not basing my belief in the evidence I wanted from God to prove he was real.

I've gone on through life, starting to experience God in many ways, some small and some big. Let me share with you the big ones. Just last semester, I experienced something that I know was from God. It was just such a phenomenonal event in my life, something that never happenned to me before, neither did I expect it to happen. You can read about it here. If you haven't read it, please do because it really is amazing and it's REAL. I'm not here to bluff.

I now have something to share. Just a few days back, something totally amazing happened and again, it's really one of those things where God's working in people's lives so they can experience Him. Last Saturday, my church in Ipoh, Hope of God church, organised a barbeque night where we'd invite our friends, and our juniors as well. We all had a good time at the barbeque and it finished at about 11.30 and we arrived back at my university slightly later than 12.

Some of my juniors were quite awake and actually went around to play basketball after 12. The whole group of them were guys except for this one girl that tagged along. As they were playing, this girl tripped over and knocked her head against the concrete floor. She was unconcious, knocked out by the fall and the guys did what they could to revive her.

They tried for quite a while and didn't get a response. At one point, one of the juniors checked her pulse to find that there was none at all. Fortunately, they managed to call for help and quickly get her to the university clinic. At the time they were at the clinic, she was still unconcious, the juniors who'd brought her over went just outside the clinic and prayed real hard for this young girl, their peer.

Not too long after they prayed, she eventually woke up and she was quite alright. She still fell a couple of times as she started walking again but she's fine now. You see, this girl (who's not a Christian by the way) was quite surprised after she found out what happenned. She only remembered falling down and waking up at the clinic. After that, she told us that she's gone unconcious before, several times. In fact, she mentioned that if she's unconcious for more than 10 minutes she goes into a coma for a couple of days. I can assure you that it was much more than ten minutes that she was unconcious but she didn't go into a coma for a couple of days. She was really thankful for the prayers and even praised God for it you know. I think that's just a start to what God has in store has for this young Girl that doesn't quite know Him yet.

That's why they say, miracles aren't really for the believers, they're more for those who haven't really experienced Him yet.

That's why, God is real. Not just that, God is awesome.

This post is also on my blog, haha! Thought I should put it here too.
