Jesus is very gentle, he stands at the door of your heart & knocks gently, he will only come into your life if you ask him to. you obviuosly want him in your life so remember this: IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE, BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGEMENT Hebrews9.27, BUT HE THAT BELIEVES IN HIM (JESUS) SHALL NOT COME INTO JUDGEMENT. jOHN 5.24 . Choose this day who you shall serve. Joshua24.15 and then say this prayer; bEING CONVINCED THAT I AM A SINNER AND KNOWING THAT CHRIST DIED FOR THE UNGODLY, I NOW ACCEPT JESUS AS MY SAVIOUR AND WITH HIS HELP INTEND TO CONFESS HIM BEFORE MEN. having said that prayer, you are now a born again christian, perfect in the eyes of god...still not necessarily perfect as a human being, but now that Jesus is in you heart, you will hear his still, small voice guiding you & gradually you will find the strength to live life his way, dont be discouraged if you slip, it's almost inevitable.t's in man's nature to sin, if it were not then Jesus would not have had to pay the extreme sacrifice for us. He loved us even tho we were sinners. If you want to know more contact me

You arent gonna be perfect, and you can't live for God without his help. Take a step towards him, and don't let your shame hinder you from trying. If you're waiting to become a better person before you try to live for Jesus, it's not gonna happen. The best ways to start living for God is to get plugged in at a church. There are a few ways to grow closer to God.
Discipleship, fellowship and worship are 3. The easiest way is to get into a church. Also the advantages are that you gain Godly influences and friends, you get a weekly recharge, and you dont' really get shorted on time with him because of laziness.

There's nothing in the Bible about masturbating or going to church. What we consider curse words didn't even exist 2,000 years ago. Calm down, man, and don't live as the sheep of a religion. Just don't harm other people -- as long as you keep to that simple rule, your life is your own business.

Habit's are hard things to break, but it's important to prioritize and to put God first. I'm not saying that it won't be hard, because in all likelihood it probably will, but rely on Him for strength and just pray eveytime you think about doing one of those things and remind yourself that you aren't the center of your universe. Fix your eyes on Jesus and think of how proud he is of you everytime you make the right choice. I heard a story from a friend today that just got back from church camp. The pastor was giving a sermon and specifically told the guys that whenever there was lust in their heart for a girl to think of something else like junk food as fast as they could, lol. Good luck and God Bless!

Jesus was in his time a rebel, a revolutionary. H'd rather spend time with sinners than with the self righteous. To live for jesus doesnt require perfection nor for you to be sin free. to live for jesus you must fallow his lead. Learn to overcome your sins, but know that your are not perfect and you will never be. Love your neighboor, regardless of whom he is. Show merci and compation for people, help the poor, live a selfless life, In this way you can live for jesus, and give God the best that you have to give!

That's alright. As long as you know you're failing, you should pray to God that he give you strength and will power to stop those things. He knows what's in your heart. Everybody sins. We're human, afterall. I do bad stuff and I'm sorry for it. I try to go to church and pray to him everyday and thank him for everything I have.
