“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)
Change starts with you. It starts with the changing of your mind. You are what you think. What you think on a day to day basis is usually what you act upon. If you are always thinking about desires of the world then it is more than likely you will give in to the desires of the world.
People always think that you cannot change your mind, but this I know to be a lie. As a Christian makes their transition to walking with the Lord they must change the way they think. This is the key element to being saved and remaining saved. The enemy, our adversary is always going after our mind because he knows if he gets control of our mind then he has control over us. He is is going to try his hardest to push us towards evil and sin instead of good.
My dear friend that I love so much. I pray for you all of the time. I do not want to see you keep going down the same road. You can come out of the sinful lifestyle. I know you are tired of false happiness. The club, sex, drinking, smoking is not true happiness. That is temporary pleasure; a temporary moment. Its time for you to get an eternal mindset. We are temporary here on this earth and we must realize this. We are God's divine children so its time to stop being so caught up in this world. Its time for change my friend.. Its time!!
The joy that God can give you the world cannot. This is a known fact. No longer will you be waking up stress, waking up worrying, waking up thinking how are you going to make it through the day. You will wake up with praise on your lips and joy in your heart. Its time for you to kick the negativity out of your life. Its been wearing and tearing on you for way too long. Its time for you to be built back up and walk with the Lord!!
If you truly want to change then you will put forth the effort. One of the problems that you have is you do not fear the Lord. If you feared the Lord you would not be sinning out of control. I ask you this question.. If you were to die today, do you honestly think you would go to Heaven? By the way you live, by the way you talk and by your actions, do you honestly believe you should live in Heaven for eternity???
I am praying for you my friend!! Know just because you prayed a prayer and God into your life does not mean you are going to Heaven. <- This is a key step but it takes more than this. You have to live and walk up right before the Lord!
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.
Listen to my prayer.. It'll bless you!!
