1 | Feeling overwhelmed and need direction. | NT general Archive 1 | chynna | 30503 | ||
I've accepted Christ as my savior and I've been baptised. My whole life has been changed in such a positive way. I feel like I'm about to burst with inner peace and happiness. Not sure how else to describe it. But sometimes when I think of the enormity of what's really going on with God and us and everything and my part in it all and my acceptance of Him as my Lord, I have to say I'm a little overwhelmed. I don't have a very good understanding of the Bible, although I'm working on that. Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like I should be doing something important now, but I don't know what. | ||||||

Dear Overwhelmed: Some one has said "The renewal of the inner person becoming Christ like is not accomplished in a moment, but a lifetime!" This is such a key point in Christian growth. May I share my personal experence. I believe that one makes the choice to make Christ LORD or boss if you will. This is not a thought process alone but a matter of the heart and mind choosing to follow Jesus and communicating with Jesus by prayer. For me prayer has been a supreme act of faith, as many times feelings have nothing to do with how our prayers are answered. So prayer,and a guided Bible study course for new Christians is a must, and belonging to a body of believers are all esential. If you do not have a daily feeding of your spiritual food(prayer and Bible study) your growth will be stunted. Many people start out with the excitement you have, but do not grow and remain a carnal baby Christian. Ask your pastor for some materials for new Christians, if you don't have a Bible, get a New American Standard Bible or a New International Version Bible. May I suggest you start with St. John. Read a Chapter at least once a day. I hope this helps. The walk of faith in Christ is by no means an easy walk. Satan will try everything to discourage you as long as you live. So my friend and fellow pilgram fight a good fight and become as close to Jesus as you possibly can. Never give in or up to the world, you belong to the King of Kings and LORD of lords. Bless you my friend. |
