I decided to answer that question here because I did not want to limit my responses to 140 characters a box. (Twitter~ smile)
I would like to say up front that I always believed God was real, at least I believed in HIM, but UNTIL I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, I could not say with certainty how I knew anything about HIM. What I will be sharing now is after I received GOD's free gift of Salvation.
I know GOD exists because:
HE changed my life inside out. 2Cor 5:17 ~ Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
HE changed the way I thought and the way I talked. Romans 1:16 ~ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 12:2 ~ And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
HE lives within me. Rev 3:20 ~Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Acts 2:4 ~ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
HE has filled me with gifts. 1Cor 12~ (The entire chapter)
HE speaks to me. John 10:27 ~ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 14:24 ~ He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. Acts 18:19 ~ Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
HE has given me peace. John 14:27 ~ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 16:33 ~
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Romans 5:1 ~Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
HE has given me power. Matthew 10:1 ~ And when he had called unto [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power [against] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Luke 10:19 ~ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Acts 1:8 ~ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
HE hears and answers my prayers. Acts 10:4 ~ And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 1Peter 3:12 ~ For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil.
This is Part 1
I will continue with Part 2 in a few days.
Thank You
And All Glory To GOD
