Biblical Principles For Living A Christian Life for the New Convert 2 Corinthians 5:17- Therefore if any man be in Christ. He is a New creature; old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. >Keep in mind God has forgiving you of your sins, you may wake up in the morning and not feel saved. But know without a shadow of a doubt, that a change has been made in your life… Revelation 12:11- and they over come him by blood of the lamb. And the Word of their Testimony. >Start With Family members; tell them that you are born again and that you have excepted Jesus as your personal savior. Tell all your friends. Then really step on the devil by testifying from time to time at church… Hebrews 13:5-I will never leave you nor forsake you. >Remember God always keeps his promise. We tend to get out of his will and leave him. Family and friends may turn their back on you. God will never leave you… Hebrews 10:25- Not forsaking the assembling of our selves together as is the manner of some, But exhorting one another and so much as ye see the day approaching. >As a new convert you need to stay around the church atmosphere to grow in Christ. You need to draw strength from the other believers that are in Christ. Sacrifice and go to Sunday school and Morning Worship and Bible Study. And God will bless you richly… 2Timothy 2:15- Study to show yourselves approved unto God; a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. >The word of God lets us know that we should study to let God know that we mean business about serving him. Don’t just read to satisfy your conscience, but study the scriptures and find out who’s talking, whom they are talking too. When you get to be a witness for God his word will spring out like running water… James 1:2- My brethren count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations. > These scriptures prepares the believer even before they go through their trials and tribulations. No that in this Christian walk you are going to be tried by the devil. The bible lets us know that the devil even temped Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So why should we think that we should not have to go through anything… {READ JAMES 1:1-12} Remember the scriptures say that the race is not given to the swift; but to the one who endureth until the end. So hold on to Gods unchanging hand and no matter what everyone else is doing in this world and in the church, keep your eyes on JESUS. For he will never fail you.

How To Release Your Faith To release your faith, say what you believe based on the word of Gods. Your tongue sets the course for your life, so train yourself to speak the right words. Don't speak words contrary to what you believe. (Proverbs 18:21). A The spirit of faith is demonstrated by what you speak. 1) Speak what you believe (2Corinthians 4: 13, 14) 2) You believe with your heart, but what you believe is established by your words. B. You can speak to things and circumstances and they will change. (Mark 11:22-24). 1) Jesus spoke to the fig tree and it withered away within 24 hours. 2) Don't say anything when you are in unbelief or doubt. Speak and mediate the word of God until your heart is convinced of it. C. Watch your words, because they create life. 1) Protect your heart by refusing to speak the wrong words, (proverbs 423-24) 2) A wise tongue is one that speaks the word of God when needed for a particular situation. (Healing, Finances, Peace, Joy etc.) God always executes the words he speaks (Psalm 89:34-35)

sometimes, God allows trails to take place because he is trying to accomplish his purpose in our lives. God is not the author of confusion; however he will allow us to go through things that test our faith and build our character. Often, we bring trails upon our own lives due to disobedience or neglecting our relationship with God. When we are in the middle of a trail,stand on the word and recognize that if it doesn't kill you us, it will-make us better. (take a look at Romans 8:28)

A. Often there is an objective God is able to fulfill by allowing certain trails to take place in your life. (Deut. 8:2-3 ).

Humble you, because a humble man/woman is one who will obey God.
Cause you to submit to his word and way of doing things.
show you he is your source

B. Sometimes, going through hurt will help you understand more about your self. (psalms 119:71)

C. Four reason that God allows trails in your life:

He loves you.
He wants your attention
He wants to remove every hindrance to your fellowship with him.
He wants us to love him. (he's teaching you to love him)

Victory in spiritual warfare part1 spiritual warfare takes place in the area of your mind when Satan puts pressure on your thinking to turn you away from the word of God. God will never allow you to go through test that you cannot pass; he always makes a way of escape. *A. Spiritual warfare takes place in your mind.* Your mind is the area where you will either win or lose the battle of life (why does the devil attack your mind )? Because its the power house for the human body, all thoughts and actions must come from the mind and then to the rest of the body and if the devil can control your mind he can destroy your life that his weapon of defeat getting to your mind. 2. The spiritual warfare Paul talks about in (2 Corinthians 10:3-6) is not fought in physical body, but it's fought in your mind. ( We are in the world but we are not of the world and we don't fight our battles the same why the world does we use the word and faith to get us through.) 3. The Christian primary weapon is the WORD OF GOD. (We must use the word to defeat the devil and his plan to destroy our lives, see God has given us the power and authority to have dominion of the devil and God wants us to speak the word when faced with a situation remember in Joshua where it said: You must mediate day and night on God's word in order to find success. (Joshua 1:8) Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. so in other word you must use what the lord has given you to take control over you situation right! 4. Satan Uses the weapons of suggestion ( He influences our thinking). the devil be coming with cheap shoot and we must be on alert at all times even when every thing is going well remember that when the devil comes when your guard is down . B. Ware a good warfare ( 1 timothy 1:18 & 19 ) Hold on to your faith with confidence and a clear conscience. don't get weary and faint in your mind. ( when you start to feel like its not worth is this holding on to faith thing is not helping your situation go back to the word and revive your spirit because its losing power from the pressure of everyday life get with some strong men and woman of God at seek advice and prayer for strength.) C. Don't turn to fleshly lust (1 peter 2:110 Fleshly lust feeding fleshly desires will create war in your soul. ( lust includes old habits like drinking smoking sexual acts, etc.) tell people who proposition you that you are dead to your old way of thinking. ( remember you are a new creature in Christ and all things are new and old things have past away)
