Title: Do you want more evidence that God exists?
Post by: Kris777 on July 14, 2003, 12:37:22 AM
This is from a different forumThere is a guy named Eric(i won't give the last name), he is a youth paster at my church.
Well he has been one for a long time. He was even one before he was a believer. His wife was a believer and he got envolved because she did.

So one day he is sitting on the front row,(and I am not sure of his thinking on this part but it was something like this) and I guess he thought he was living a lie, that he didn't believe in all of this.
(This part I remember clearly) So he asked God for a sign, but not out loud, on the inside he asked. The preacher stopped in the middle of what he was saying, and turned to him. "You have asked God for a sing, well here it is."

Erics mouth dropped, and he has been a bulldog faith type of man ever since. Great guy, he will have your sides splitting from laughter.

Another GOOD one

Lightning Strikes Preacher Who Asked For Sign

Bolt Hits Steeple, Travels Through Guest Evangelist's Microphone

FOREST, Ohio -- Damage to a church in Forest, Ohio, is estimated at $20,000 after a preacher asked God for a sign.


A member of the First Baptist Church said a guest evangelist was preaching repentance and seeking a sign from God when lightning struck the steeple.

Ronnie Cheney called the incident "awesome, just awesome!"

Cheney said the lightning traveled through the microphone, blew out the sound system and enveloped the preacher, who wasn't hurt.

Afterward, services resumed for about 20 minutes until the congregation realized the church was on fire. The building was evacuated.

Now how can you tell me that any one of these are just a coinsedence?  I wouldn't doubt God after hereing the last one,  He might strike you with lightening to prove that He heard you!!!

Church steeples get struck by lightning all the time.  That's why they have lightning conductors.

Don't you think that it is amazing that someone was asking God for a sign though?  There is an almighty powerful God.  To not believe in him would be foolish.

Personally, I'd rather rely on something a bit more direct than heresay picked up off the internet.

Ebia so do I, but I posted this in hopes that maybe it would get people that are not saved thinking.  I mean, it's a long shot, but at least it is something. There are people that could turn this into anything, but it is their chose if they want to believe it or not. These are just a few things of evidence.  The strongest evidence that I can think of is if God does something for you or you expierence a feeling like when you first become saved, but people that aren't saved don't really expeirence the feeling of the presence of God until they get closer so I guess that doesn't help them much in the way of evidence. So they satisfy their mind with harder evidence first until they get close enough to God to feel Him.
