Man has a sinful nature. Paul once said, I do that which I would not, Not that I would, but the sinful nature that are within me. ( If we never sinned, we would never need to repent.) God has given us a way to escape. Forgiveness thought prayer in the name of Jesus. If we confess our sins, He will forgive us of our sins.

If you've been born again, then the Holy Spirit came inside to make His abode within you.

You can go look at the link near the same place you clicked on, to come into here. Look at the Become A Christian link.

If you have done those things, you just need to begin a relationship with the Holy Spirit. He's not an "it". He's the 3rd person of the Godhead. He is your Teacher, Reprover of sin. Your Comforter; Protector.

He reveals Jesus to you.

Go have a look at 1 John 1:9. That's our daily go-to scripture, until we begin to really follow Jesus.

You're going to need to clean your home.

Questionable books, CD's, DVD's, stuff on the computer. Beer shirts, and anything the Holy Spirit alerts you to. You can't live half in and half out in the world system.

Be patient with yourself. Once the Holy Spirit is inside of you, He will keep you safe till all of satans demons are kicked out. If you DONT get rid of the "stuff", the demons will come back.

Honestly, you are going to lose all of your good time friends. I lost mine. I whined to the Lord that all my friends left; could I have some new friends? Next thing I know I meet lots of people from church and it's Acts chapter 1, all over at my house :D

Great memories!

The only way to get the worldly stuff out of you, is to pump in the Bible (Gods Word).

One of my favorite songs is Grave Robber by Petra. Go on Youtube and have a listen.

Genesis 1:22 KJV And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Fill the waters in the seas.that is, fill the praise of God before all of the nations (seas) of the world. The waters are people, languages, etc. The earth shall be filled with knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 11:9-10 KJV They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. (10) And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Let fowl multiply in the earth.that is, words of His praise will be multiplied before all of the nations of this world. Praise the LORD, all you nationspraise Him all you people. We are to praise Him for His mercy, kindness and the revealing of His Truth.

Psalms 117:1-2 KJV O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. (2) For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

I will confess/praise/thank Him among the nations (gentiles) and sing unto His name. Let fowl multiply in the earththat is, words/songs of God's praise and thanksgiving to Him among all nations of this world. The words of His praise multiply and fly through the air for the nations to hear. We, His people, are to abound with His praiseglorifying God before all nations.

Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:(9) And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.(10) And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.(11) And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

The fowl being of the sea made land their home or nesting place doesnt this sound like evolution if you have ever seen flying fish you could make the connection

Be fruitful and multiply....makes me think about the secular christians who follow advice on the overpopulation of earth and resort to vasectomies, birth control medications and abortions. Did God really say that os it it human freewill. Ministers of God, please let us teach the true gospel that will be accepted by a chosen few and not everybody.
