go to church more often, be around fello Christians, go to Christian chats. It's normal to feel this way for a while, just read your Bible and stay with it. Satan is here banished from the heavens to the earth. In the end of time God will concure all and satan will be finished and sent to his chambers. For now push Satan behind you and cling to God.
The Lord trieth the rightious, but the wicked and him that loveth evil, his soul hateth, upon the wicked he shall rain, snairs, fire and brimestone, for that may be the portion of their cup. For the rightious Lord loveth rightiousness and his comptenance doth uphold the upright.

Trust in The LORD!!!!! The devil probably will attack you at every chance he gets. I advise you to:
1. Find a friendly non-denominational church if you haven't already
2. Get your hands on a Bible (I personally like the kind that have multiple versions side-by-side, but they are more expensive)
3. Your church will probably occasionally offer Bible study groups that meet once a week. I have only done one so far (in a group environment; I've done others on my own), and am on my second "Beth Moore" Bible study. I did "Breaking Free: Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life" which I really recommend IF you don't mind a lot of homework and a lot of introspection. That one takes a lot of time, but is worth it. Right now I'm doing "Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy", which is a GREAT study. Keep your eyes and ears open for a women's Bible study group, because getting together with other Christian women is a really great way to grow in faith. Even if you only half-commit to actually doing the work of the study, you will gain Christian friends who can help you so much. I am assuming you are a woman or a girl because of your avatar. I am so happy that you are a Christian! E-mail me anytime you want, about anything you want. I would be pleased to hear from you. :o)
YAY!

First off, you are probably right on both counts. Satan is known for attacking new Christians because they have not as of yet found their "footing" in faith and in a personal relationship with God. It can be a very scary time. I would suggest that if your friends are against you that for the time being stay away from them and try to make friends with people who believe as you do. They will be a constant source of support for you as you grow in your faith. Also, talk to someone of faith that you can look up to. Surround yourself with people of faith for a while until you are strong enough to go out again in this very harsh world. Being a real Christian is not easy. You make people feel uncomfortable because your goodness condemns them. However, you will shine before long and will have some great opportunities to bring some of those old friends to Christ.
Last and the most important of all is....Pray. Put your fears and your hurts and your uncertainties in the Lords hands. Ask him to take over and to help you. I can assure you that he will not allow you to go through anything that he will not help you to handle. God Bless and welcome to the family of God.

First of all congratulations, sister. Ok. I was told after I became a christian that the first little while would be trying because the devil will attack you. Just don't give up and keep praying. Remember that you must always have faith. God will always overcome. And I will be sure to pray for you as well.
God Bless.

Pray, prayer is important. Make new christian friends but don't abandon your old friends once they see the changed you they might become influenced and also become christians. However never give up!! Read the bible and find words of encouragement when the devil comes against you can be sure angels surround you..
God Bless!!

Well, if their not christians, they don't have anything in common with you since you got saved. The devil attacks the mind 1st. You read your bible and plead the blood of Jesus to the devil. Call your pastor and have all the people at church pray for you.

Read Matthew 28:18-21. It is probably the last words of Jesus prior to HIS Ascension into Heaven. It says that we should be reaching, teaching, and baptizing the lost. If your friends are lost then you should be inviting them to church setting up a Bible study at/near your home and having one of your church men to teach the study. This would be a great experience for you, for them, and for whatever church member that teaches the study for you. satan will continue to attack you. Keep your faith and make some extra church friends that you can call as you need them. They are going to be helpful when times get rough! Have a great evening and a wonderful week!
Thank you,

Words are Powerful.
Devil Hates the Word of GOD.
Keep saying out Loud, No Weapon Formed Against me shall Prosper.
Swing that Sword of GOD over and over (Word of GOD) and after Awhile, the devil will get Tired of being hit in the Head and will go away and Leave you Alone!
Powerful.
Sword of the Spirit--Fight.!

Expect the devil to assault you, but remember, greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. Read a chapter and pray every day. Make Christian friends and be faith full to church, you will make it.

It helps to have a friend who believes as you do. It's really tough when you're young in the faith. I definitely know! But don't give up! Get involved in your church. See if they offer any classes that you can take that will help you in your spiritual walk. First and foremost, tho, tell Jesus about it! Always go to him first with your difficulties, fears and concerns and trust him; talk to people second. God bless you! :)
