Hi. I'm Andy, and have been an evangelical christian for about 18 months now, so still a babe in the faith. Never realized I was such a big sinner, destined for eternal damnation. Believe that I've been given a second chance, and that the Holy Spirit has begun a good work in me. It is very hard turning your life around;giving up things you enjoyed doing.It takes a lot of soul-searching and courage. Sometimes, thoughts still come into my head, and words out of my mouth that have no place there, but I keep asking for forgiveness daily, pray, read scripture and christian biographies (which help enormously).Often, though, I get frustrated because people see me walking from A to B, and think "He's alright", but they have no idea what's going on in my head, heart, and soul. I know that there is nothing for me here;I'm only passing through to somewhere better (like a motorway service station),and to live is Christ and to die is gain. PS: Currently studying the life of Dr. Lloyd-Jones,and his expositions on Romans.
 
That's a good testimony Andy and not at all an uncommon experience when we begin walking with Christ. I hope you can come to know that it is God working in you to will, and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13), and He ain't done with any of us until we are face to face with Him. If you allow God to, He will bring you into His perfect will for your life and you will soon know that all; not just some things work together for your good because you love Him. May God bless you in the way He leads you for His name's sake in Jesus' name.

Hi Andy, good to see you; how are you doing? God bless His Word to you.

The Epistle to the Hebrews is a great and encouraging treatise which gives the believer in the Lord Jesus much assurance in His finished work, and in His perfect and complete offices and titles.

Blessings.
 
Welcome Andy! I have to say I share your feeling, I am currently struggling hard as well, there are terrible thoughts and words that come not from the heart and seem like there is some other voice in my head. The more I am I look for God the harder they hit me. But I am decided to keep on fighting. If you have any advice for me, that would be of great help. God bless you!

Hi Aliciation and greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus. I hope you'll read the following short thread "Have you fought bad thoughts?" I posted at the following link, and hope it is a blessing to you. Be sure to go to the #1 post. http://www.christianforums.net/showthread.php?t=48209
 
Hey there Andy, welcome to the forums.

We ALL have struggled in our faith at one point or another; what matters is how we push through that struggle, and then able to watch how God blesses our faithfulness to Him. The more you grow in your faith, the less you will struggle with it. I pray you find the fellowship you're needing here as you walk with Christ.

God Bless
