You need to be aware that the enemy who has had you in his camp for so long, will want to get you back. There is a war over your soul - and although Jesus Christ is the victor, the enemy will try every means possible to trick you.
The things above and the picture to the right need to be ingrained in your mind. Read the Bible references to the things above. We have a few more things to go through before we get to the Relationship section. Once you have gone through that section - come back & look up these verses! Print them out - you will find many, many more things that speak to you as you read the Bible.
Now go and burn the bit of paper that you wrote your sins on - realise as you do so that the things on that paper are being destroyed by the flames...just as Jesus has 'destroyed' the effect of the sins themselves.
The HOLY SPIRIT
You now have the Holy Spirit. Every believer has, to some degree, received the Holy Spirit. There is however a deeper experience available. You need to be filled with the Spirit so you can hear from God - know His thoughts and live like you should. This is NOT about being a better person or trying harder. It is about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit that rose Christ from the dead. Now when He enters (as can be seen in the many, many places in the Bible) you and others around you WILL KNOW ABOUT IT!
Read and re-read the Bible. It will come to life - and even when you don't like reading it - it will revive your Spirit!
