Your Spiritual Birthday

Do you remember what day your spiritual birthday is?
Do you remember what all happened that day? What you did?


By spiritual birthday I am referring to the day that you knew for sure that you would go to heaven. The day that you opened your heart and invited Jesus to become a part of yourself and your life.


My spiritual birthday is March 11th 2004. I can nearly recite the entire day from the time that I woke until the time that I fell asleep that night word for word. I actually slept in that day until near 9:00. I made a quick run to the store to pick up some paper to print my resume as I was job hunting. On my return home I found myself passing by the church in which I attended with my Father. I remember having a very long thought about how much happier my dad had become since he has started attending church as well as how well his medical condition had improved since his salvation. As I remember it it seems as if I could list hundred of details in which I could see this yet the entire thought laster no more than a few seconds because I turning into the church to visit with a good friend of mine that happened to be the youth minister about everything that was on my mind. It was not my intentions conciously when I stopped to talk to him for him to witness to me however after we had been talking for nearly two hours in his office and in the hall as I helped him with small tasks that he was working on. We found our way into the auditorium sitting on the third pu from the back while we were still talking about lifes events and how everyone handles them differently. After what seemed like an hour pause, yet it was no more than 30 seconds as I was holding my head in my hands almost crying while I replayed all of our discussion in my head, he asked me if I would like him to pray with me? He asked if I felt I was ready to ask Jesus into my heart. I can still remember word for word the prayer that we prayed. I remember crying as I ask for forgiveness. I am tearing up now just in my memories. My friend Brother Eric then game me a hug which I can still feel as if we were not the only two hugging that day. We walked back to his office now speaking of exactly what it meant spiritually that I had just done. His father was the minister of that church and was currently at home. We walked to his dad's house (Brother Buddy) and I visited with him for just a few minutes. I called my dad from his house. I was so excited and felt so completely filled. I drove home soon after we spoke on the phone as I was staying with my parents at that time. My dad walked up to me when I got home and gave me a hug. I remember him saying that I had given him the best birthday present he could ever ask for. His birthday is also March 11th. I honestly had forgotten about it that morning. I do not believe that day could stand out any more in my mind than it does.


And yes I married also on March 11th which I find very appropriate and enlightening.

Please elaborate as much or as little as you would like but please share your experience with us.

Birthday Spiritual Your

Thank you for sharing your personal experience, it really touched my heart.
My spiritual birthday is August 26th 2005.
To my shame, my son became a Christian a year before me, when he was just 5 years old, he asked the Lord into his heart.
I didn't even attend church for the whole year while he was a Christian, but instead let a family friend take him to church.
I didn't stop him attending church, and actually encouraged him, and in the summer of the following year,(2005) he wanted me to take him to the beach missions in Wales, which is about 100 miles from our home. The beach missions, is where a group of Christians run church activities on the beach for children in the daytime, and children from non church families can come and learn about Jesus Christ and play games that help them learn about the bible eg-- quiz on questions out of the Bible and if they get a correct answer, the children get a small prize.
For the adults, there is an open-air church service run in the evening, and it is amazing how many people stop and join in!
It was here a year earlier that my son became a Christian.
I had no intentions of following the same route as him.
On the day of August 26th, I was carrying my son on my back, when he asked me "mummy, am I heavy?" I answered "yes, you're very heavy" his reply to this was "Ah, but am I as heavy as the sins that you carry on your back?"
It was at this moment that it really hit me, that I really didn't have Christ in my life,I went home to our holiday house, knelt by my bed, and apologized to God for all the wrong that I had done in my life, and asked Jesus into my life and heart.
It was a very overwhelming experience,and one that I will never forget.
My Son is very spiritual,and I believe that he is being used as a 'vessel' and he has led myself,my husband and many other people to Christ.

Comments: I just made search about spiritual birthday in internet when it lead me to this topic in this forum.
Thanks for all sharing their stories- they had really touched my heart.

My spiritual birthday is 27 July 2002. At this time I was 18 years old and at previous day I had been with my christian friend Hilja and again we had been in discussion about christianity and about heaven and hell-we had discussed lot about it because I was then already searching for Truth and there deep inside of me was knowledge that if I show it I will know it. We was just listening Tent meeting broadcast from Tallinn Family Radio and suddenly she asked from me:" Do you not interested what will happened with you after your death?" This question put me to think and I decide inside of me that I will go and do this decision- because I want to satisfy her and also I had seen something in her spiritual what I thought that it was this Truth what I was looking for. Actually I had tried some religion stuff already as like New Apostolic Church or Hare Krishna. Next day evening I went to this tent meeting and of course I went forward when the preacher gave the altar call because I just think that I will try it. But after that I felt change inside of me- I don`t want to read those bad books and pornographical stuff any more. God just made me free of them and it was really amazing.

Comments: My spiritual birthday was when I developed the intellect to question my beliefs rationally without any bias and I came to the conclusion, as any rational person would, that there is absolutely no reason to believe in an afterlife, let alone heaven. Let me ask all of you one simple question, what is your evidence for believing in an afterlife. If you say the bible then I rest my case. I personally however, see not one SHRED of evidence to believe in a mind or spirit or soul whatever you want to label it, existing without a brain. Ergo, brain death= total death. Feel free to do your own research on this matter. I am not attacking anybody for their beliefs, but merely asking for an observable, testable justification for the myriad of ludicrous claims that seems to spout from the aforementioned beliefs.
