Hey please pray for me to be a good Christian and have gratitude because since then everything has been going well.
Since my initial post everything worked out fine. But it has highlighted the purpose of Jesus and I came to a better understanding of faith.
By placing my worry in Jesus and faith in God everything worked out better than I could have expected. It’s a good lesson in how to place your faith in Jesus for me and far better than worrying
It proved to me how faith can mentally prepare us and prevent us from despair, I prayed daily for guidance and support and it was received. I have a tonne to be grateful for.
The Devil is a lion seeking to devour the unwary, as long as we look to Lord Jesus in faith we are invincible
This post came at a good time, when things go well and enjoy the bounties of this world, but to remember the treasures we need are in heaven

I am so glad you came, dear friend. First thing you need to know is that Jesus loves you. He wants us all to admit our weakness and inability to help ourselves. Only He can lift us out of that miry pit of sin. Let Him do it today. We would like to be your new family.
Welcome.
Psalms 40:2
“He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”

Hi, and this is where it all starts,
"I was born into Christianity however as I got older I found that I was more interested in the world." Is what you wrote, And, the question people must continue to ask themselves is, (Where does the desires of my heart lay?) (Is it with the world, and all the temporary that will pass away, or is it "eternal" with wanting to know and please God?) I asked a person, "Can a person be addicted to cocaine and also be a Christian?" At first they replied no, but then said, "I don't know.", which was wisdom of their years. The answer is yes. God accepts us as we are, and gradually changes us from the inside out to reflect His righteous character. It would seem that people who claim to be Christians all their life would be the ones who reflect His righteous Character the most, but obviously, that is not true. True relationships require, trust, reliance, and love, and none of those can we do, except that the Holy Spirit lives through us, just as Jesus described that He is the vine, we are the branch, but it is the Holy Spirit that produces the fruit. Long story short, keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23-27, and work out your own salvation for it is God who causes us to both to will and do His good pleasure, Philippians 2:12. Do that and you will be living a Christian life, despite the giving into the desires of the flesh. I say that because once a person repents they are forgiven, and the desires of the flesh merely become stumbling blocks to the new desires of our heart, and that there is only two ways a person can become "unsaved", one is by "apathy", being half hearted about loving God, the other is to outright turn the back on God and walk away. But, Do the scriptures that I quoted you, and you will be relying on God, instead of yourself, to fulfill His righteousness in you because of the His umbrella of grace, and do that to remember you must rely and depend on His mercy, and "new Covenant" of grace of salvation to keep you a child of God.

I hope you start reading the New Testament.. I hope you start growing in the knowledge of salvation and that Gods Holy Spirit will move you onto the right path unto Eternal life with Him..
This place will often provide you will a lot of answers to questions you may have about the Gospel message.. Note not all the answers will be correct.. But that's where the ball lands in your court ( to use a tennis saying) You will need to take what ever answers you are given and use the Bible to see if the answers conflict with Biblical teachings..
Oh and i was a catholic before i became a Bible based Christian.. I am Glad a friend at work gifted me a Bible to read, I am glad God gave me the perseverance to read it all and the Holy Spirit for moving me onto the right Way.. There is so much deception out there.. So many Bible twisting doctrines of demons.. So beware and walk circumspectly because satan like a ravenous lion is seeking to devour you.. Let me look up that verse and see how close i got to it..
Found it::
1 Peter 5:
8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
Pretty close..
