What are some of the initial temptations you have faced in your walk with Jesus Christ?
Obviously a lot of previous behaviors have to be adjusted. I'm trying my best guys! LOL
No, but seriously, what have you found that hinders your walk with the Lord?
Feels really good though. It's just so scary!
God Bless

Perhaps thinking critically should be listed here.

Satan Will Read Your Thoughts And Exalt Them.
If You Are Still In The Wilderness, TRUST NO ONE ON THIS PLANET.
They May Look Like The Same Old People, But They Are Not, For You Are In A Different Time And Space.
Understand The Exact Meaning of ' Lo And Behold, Everything Is Made New And You Are A New Creature In Christ Jesus'
God Bless You

I have low tolerance for stupidity. I know that no person alive today is perfect and tha we all make mistakes. But if a person hold his/her hand in a redhot flame knowing it will burn, I do not feel sorry for that person. Just an example.
Aside from that, the only other thing I can think of is... everything.
Most things I have a good grasp on with the Lord's help.

Any new "habit" or way of life takes time to adjust and spiritual growth is like everything else, it grows and grows and grows. Just do your best and God will help you if you truly want to be "his child". Don't try to be perfect, look at the people God chose in the Bible, most of them were very far from perfect. When he spoke to Moses, Moses said, but I can't do this Lord, I don't even like to speak in front of people, they think he might have even had a stutter issue. Jesus was born in a stable. God often loves the lowly and willing. Just keep your eyes on God and He will help you, but beware, the closer you get to God, eventually Satan won't like it and will start trying to trip you up.

You know the saying "old habits die hard"?
Well that is the biggest battle for everyone.
We all lie sun consciously, we steal small things like a cookie or whatever but it is still stealing.
Even if we see an attractive/rich/successful person we envy them.
Its human nature, but thank goodness we have free will to think otherwise when these thoughts starts popping up ;)

A few challenges include having to take people picking on you, tests you are put up to, and understanding what's right and wrong in a whole new way.
A lot of people make the misate of thinking being Christian makes life easier. It doesn't in some way,s it' does in opthers.
But, what are challenges whan the living god is one your side? :)

Well, you are now convinced you are at a dead end. If you study hard someday, before you pass on, you might achieve the status of a soul that will be reincarnated.
Take heart.

Alot of things. Eveything that is not pleasing to the EYES OF GOD. The one that you used to do you can not do anymore, I mean commit sin. Just keep praying to GOD and HE will be there to help you, GOD BLESS.

Skepticism. Prejudice against us. Also, beware of angry anti-Christians. I met one and, when he saw my cross-shaped dog-tag, boy was he FURIOUS!!!!!!!! I had to run form him.
If/when God leads you, read Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ" and his other books. Also, the works of the late Christian-apologist and philosopher Francis A. Schaeffer( and his wife Edith) are good reads. Or listen to another Christian-apologist and philosopher Ravi Zacharias in http://www.rzim.org.
I hope this helps. Take care. God bless.

My own will. Wanting to do what I want to do that's in contravention with what I know I should do. Disobedience to His word. I struggle with it daily. I am more aware of my sinful nature. God is dealing with me all the time, there is so much about me I can see God wants to "prune". It's very difficult, but His word promises me that He chastises whom He loves, and He desires to purify me into fine silver. I wish I were a more obedient person. This is something I fail at.
