Sorry to burst your bubble but god does NOT exists!!!! it is a belief that people use to make them selves feel better about death. Thats my opinion.

The problem is you didnt convert to Christianity and it didnt sound very heartfelt. A conversion contains the following elements...
CONFESS Jesus as Lord believing that he is the one and only true son of God realizing only he can save you. You claim you confessed but I dont see the recognition that Jesus is who he said he was or that he can do what he said.
REPENT of your sins. By your own admission you still love sin. A person cannot love sin and love God at the same time. Repenting means you have recognized evil is wrong and you have sworn it off and pledged to God youre going to live his way.
BE BAPTIZED for the forgiveness of sins and the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38)
LIVE FATHFULLY It sounds like youre expecting to reap the benefits of conversion when you dont believe in it and at the snap of a finger. It doesnt sound like youre trying to live a new life for him yet.
I dont think you have to worry about Jesus being in your heart or the Holy Spirit because you have to WANT change in your life. God doesnt force himself on anybody.

Let the Bible passage answer your question.
Colossians 3:5-10
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
Notice that in verse 10 it says that your new self is BEING RENEWED IN KNOWLEGE. You need the knowlege. You need to read God's word and find out how he helps you to become a better person. You then need to apply it. When you ask Jesus to be your lord, mean it by doing what he asks you to do.

I guess they didn't explain it to you well enough. Jesus isn't some lackey just waiting around for your orders. Just because you say some words God isn't going to do what you want. God looks at a person's heart. Long before I asked to receive the Holy Spirit and Jesus as my Savior I was living in sin with a woman and drinking and using drugs. We were in a bad situation and we got on our knees and asked God to save us but nothing happened, things just got worse.
It wasn't until a few years later when I had finally come to the end of myself that God arranged circumstances in my life where I ended up at the church I now belong to and listened to the gospel message and asked to receive Christ. Since then my life has been totally changed because I came to God with the right sacrifice in attitude.
Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
You see when I first said that prayer some years ago I didn't want to turn away from my current life style. I just wanted to escape the consequences of it. I didn't want to follow Jesus, I just wanted God to help me out and then leave me alone. But even though God didn't answer my prayer at that time, He kept me alive and arranged circumstances to where I could offer it again with the right heart attitude. I hope that you will remember this and one day when you have come to the end of your own self will and are looking to do God's will you will call out again to God who loves you just the way that you are but who loves you to much to leave you just like you are and who wants you to follow Him and not rely upon your own wisdom to decide the course that your life will take.

hmmmmm that's strange. did you say the magic spell correctly?
"Ibelievejesuschristdiedonthe
crosstosavemefromysinsamen"
i think you have to be in a kneeling position for the ritual to work and i understand it helps to have at least a few Christians present who cry, mumble prayers, wave their hands in the air and yell "Praise the Lord" and stuff like that.
maybe if you tried it again it'll work.
PS. if some portion of the spell did indeed work and you are now inhabited by Jesus i think the only way to get rid of him is to blaspheme against the "Holy Spirit" and unfortunately the Bible is unclear as to how exactly one goes about doing that.

When you truly accept Jesus as Lord of your life, you do become a changed person. It takes time to change the ways we have lived by. It takes time to change a habit. But if you place your faith in Christ Jesus, He will be faithful and start working in you to change you into the person He wants you to be. It is a never-ending process (until we go to be with Him). We are to turn our backs on sin, but when we fail, He will be there to forgive us and help us through.

I've heard a story once in my cathecism:
There was this man that wanted to persecute and kill Jesus...
He then asked another ordinary man where Jesus was....
He told him that Jesus was in his heart. The persecuter killed th man and opened his heart, but Jesus was nowhere to be found.
YOU JUST DONT GO AND ASK JESUS TO APARATE IN FRONT OF YOU!!!!OR EVEN IF YOU ASK HIM TO BE YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR YOU CANT EXPECT TO BE TICKLISH OR FEEL SOMETHING SPECIFIC!
it takes belief and faith in God.

You have to want to change,sounds to me you was not wanting repentance you just was trying to see if something happen..The Lord knows your heart and He is not about to play games with you..If you really want to be free then repent for your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart after that ask Jesus to speak to you..Be sincere cause God is not to be mocked !

Hi, my name is Eunice Saunders and it looks to me as if you 1) either never really let him in. or 2) already kicked him out! Either way you don't have to worry Jesus won't stay where He is not wanted.....so keep on keeping on and forget salvation....or repent, get a bible, go to church and let go and let God change you....two beings can not occupy the same space....if you want God you will have to step aside and let Him do what He has promised. Either way you must serve God or Satan....why not choose good over evil? Thanks, Eunice

Pray that the Holy Spirit will bring you under conviction and draw you to Him.
If a change didn't take place you are not saved. The Holy Spirit
must draw you, and when He does you will come to Christ.
