If you ever walked away from God…What Got Your Attention to Come Back?
Sun, Nov 8, 2009
I had the pleasure this weekend to talk to a number of people that had some amazing testimonies of how God got their attention.
Some of us actually walk away and stop going to church, stop praying, stop studying etc…and then one day in some way…we find ourselves back in church, back studying and praying. What made the difference?
For me, what really got my attention was a few years back listening to some sermons while I was driving a 4 hour commute 4 times per week. I would listen to these messages like nothing I had ever heard before that made me realize this world would not last forever. This really woke me up.
What did it for you? Leave some Comments below…

For me it was a sermon (delivered in my house - I would not go to church) about prayer but explained in the context of who God is (His character). That gave me the resolve to just start praying again and getting to know God again.
For me…the number of coincidences that seem to miraculously happen after I mumble God help me whenever trouble came my way!!! And Im ashamed to say that it did take a few years of these coincidences to happen before I acknowledged that GOD IS REAL and He was doing everything to get my attention.
And then, today, actually SEEING ALOT of prophecies fufilled, that I remembered when I was young, considering last days.
Im so thankful that God showed me these things and get me back on the right “narrow road” before its too late..
Everyday I wake up and ask God for the Words,strength, and courage to go out and minister to all those who chose the path that I did, and to all those who dont know the Lord but are hungry to know the truth..
Well, I was born into an Adventist family, I use to be a Lay evangelist, Personal Ministries leader in my church. My marriage fell apart, everything was going wrong, I did not felt as if I belonged any more. I was in and out of church for about 6- 7years. I wanted to come home, but never had the courage to do so, until one Tuesday evening in March 2008, I was on the internet reading some bible readings, and I could feel the presence of God in the room. it was after work, and I stayed behind to use the internet. I could hear God’s voice speaking to me through His words on the net. I then recommitted my life back to Christ. It is my desire that God will use me in a mighty way to bring souls into His Kingdom, hallelujah!
Well I can tell you that from my own experience it was a three month stay in hospital and a two year walk in no man’s land that did it for me. Will explain it more if you would like.
After 35 years in the wilderness absolute desperation forced me to ask God for His help. He led me a step at a time but His guiding hand was so clear that I had to acknowledge Him and I thank Him for not giving up on me.
