Why I believe in God

*G.O.D.*

I believe in God because I have witnessed His power and presence. Once, during a brief stay in prison, I was praying and asking God to release me so I wouldn't serve time; I had been sentenced to 16mos. I got mad at God and thre the Bible down. He immediately revealed Himself to me in the spirit. My life flashed before my eyes. He revealed my funeral before my eyes, and He showed me that the end result would be death. I suddenly knew what the fear of God felt like. I dropped to my knees and begged Him to have mercy on me and to forgive me. I then felt His Spirit embrace me. Another reason that I believe in God is that He gave me a gift. He gave me the ability to write spiritual and gospel music. I did not haave this kind of inspiration before, but after my prison experience, I knew that God put this gift in me. I wrote twelve songs within nine months. When I sang these songs, the women in the prison gathered around me and wept as I sang. The next reason I believe in God is that I feel complete and so full of joy whever I pray and read the Bible. I have a sense of satisfaction that I have never felt before! It is a joy and happiness that mere words are not able to describe. There are no other reasons necessary for me to say why I believe in God.
