Hello I just found this forum so I can better myself and to have a close relationship with God and Jesus.
Fragrant Grace has already started out with some sounde advice, what guidance are you requesting?Thanks everyone who welcomed me here in this forum. I would like to get any advice or any guidance since I'm 19 years of age.
You can have him, it is much eaisier than you think, Fragrant Grace, Chad or I will be glad to show you how. Just ask.Trying to overcome sin & having a close relationship with Jesus & God. I don't want to have a relationship with him when I only need his him and not when I'm doing good. I want to have a relationship when I'm having a good day & bad days. I just want him in my heart. I've felt him 2 in my 19 years of life. Words can't explain it & now I've ran from him & I don't want to run away from Jesus. I want him in my heart...
This is long, I don't know of any other way."The simplest things can sometimes be difficult for one." Please help me and show me I want to know.
Matthew 23: 9Thanks RJ I appreciate the help & guidance to help me find a way to Jesus and then to God. I have one more question when we repent do we have to go to a priest or can we just repent at home?
I just want to emphasis Javier, that though there are any number of ways to recieve God's salvation, it is a "heart" thing; you either do it with all your heart or you don't. God is not in the buisness of making you do anything. He has laid it out on a silver platter. I have given you but one method that can help you achieve your goal but it is completely your free will choice.I have been praying for you from the beginning; may God bless your journey. The rest is up to you!
I gave you sufficient tools to make it happen, the rest is up to you!!!Thanks RJ you've been very helpful towards me and when you said, "Also, let " no man" say, because you did it yourself that it did not count, that is of Satin and an absolute lie!" thats what goes through my head and makes me go back to sin. The reason I also believed it, is because when I confessed in a retreat I could feel my heart burning and I wasn't facing the pastor. I chose to sit behind him to confess my sin. Once I confessed I wanted to cry but I held in my tears. Later after a few months I went to go confess again but it wasn't the same as before. Six months later I went again but I still felt nothing. I have confessed at home and I do feel the guilt in my sin but I keep listening to the father of lies as he tells me I'm not forgiven or I didn't really confess my sin.
You just made me realize that I've been listening to Satan and that's why I've been going back to sin. I want to make the choice to turn away from sin but I'm still lost on how I can make that choice myself. If you wouldn't mind praying for me RJ or anyone else out there reading this. Thanks.
