Your willl must be strong, everyone else have this 'body of death' that Paul talks about that make us do things we don't want.

Confessing our sins to God is more opening up to Him that we know who we are and what we are.

Who we are is that we belong to Him as adopted children in Christ Jesus.

What we are is identifying there is still this flesh which wars against our new nature in Jesus. We open up our failures, sins and personal “idols” ask forgiveness but always trusting God to conform us to the image of His Son Jesus Christ.

It is when we hide in shame the “no this is not me I need to fix myself before talking to God” is when we get ourselves in trouble and remain in a cycle of sin. When we look to Christ right there with us being our Hope and Power in Grace only can the cycle of sin be broken.

Think of it this way. The same God who saved us from damnation granting us eternal life is the same God who delivers us from sin in our lives. That same Power of God is at work. Talk to Him.

Many psychiatric drugs numb the emotions.

Hebrews 10:2
For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

you should never feel guilty about anything. guilt is not a friend.

First thing is you need to see that you certainly sin willfully. The pleasure sin offers you you gladly accepts us sinning willfully. If you know something is sin AND yet you do it, that’s wilful.

Second, you need to confess your sin to others AND asked those you sinned against for forgiveness.

Try those two steps. Open confession of what you did and asking forgiveness from whom you did it to.

If you humble yourself in this way, He will give you grace. “God gives grace to the humble.”

God is more impressed by us not sinning as a result of seeing the cross then basting in how much he loves us.

Best thing to do is ask to be in His Presence. His Holy Presence like Moses on Mount Sinai. Put your finger on Rev 3:20 and ask for a one on one meeting with Him. As Him to cleanse your of all your sins so that you may be able to stand in His Presence. Ask Him to reveal sin as He sees. Ask Him to open up your Book of Life and go through it with Him.

then why do i not feel guilty or bad about it

Why do you need to feel bad about it? If you know the right thing to do and do not do it, it is irrelevant how you feel.
Do you feel at peace or happy when you choose to do the good thing?

if there is no conviction, the Holy spirit is not yours bro. Give more time to God Seek Him and you will find Him, Ask and it will be given.

Whether you feel guilty about it or not, if you know you are still doing it, still sinning, you need to confess, apologize, do you best to repent, and ask for help with that, acknowledge God apart from yourself, and then brush or dust yourself off, and go about life again, and if you do it again, sin again, whether you feel guilty about it or not, still always do this always, and God will clean you up in the end, if you always do this, etc...

How He will do this, is something you should be a little tiny bit afraid of and have at least a little bit or trepidation about though, or however, as it's sometimes "not pleasant" at first, etc, especially if you feel no guilt or shame "at all", but, most people when they say things like this still do though, even if it's only just a little bit, they still feel sorry for it or bad about it to one degree or another...

And you need to acknowledge God and acknowledge that before God, or He might take you the "more difficult" way around to lead you to it or this, etc...

But in the end it should be Him cleaning you up and not yourself anyway, so do this, and have faith in doing this, and do not forget to be doing this, and just watch and see what happens after that or as a result of it/this/that, and pay attention to what is going on or what you see happening around you, or with you or to you, as a result of this, and respond or react positively to it, that, or this, and it may lead you to repentance, or may it lead you to repentance, in then end, etc...

God Bless!

When you are born again, you get the Holy Spirit within you. The Holy Spirit is the one who convicts you when you sin and do what is wrong and bad.

Many claim to be Christian, yet not all are born again. When you become born again you become a new creature in Christ, it is like you start all over again. You no longer see things the way you did before you became saved, the way you think, the way you want to act, changes. Not over the night, but the more time you spend with Jesus Christ, talking to Him(praying and talking is the same), reading in the bible, wanting to get closer to Him... your mind will become more renewed.

Having a relationship with God is very important. Think about it this way; How do you build up a good relationship with people? Do you hardly talk to them? Do you hardly spend time with them? God wants to be having a personal relationship with you, getting to know you more as well as you want to get to knowing Him more.

Seek God with whole of your heart, and be totally honest with Him with everything which is in your heart! Be honest with Him with everything that bothers you, and sincerely ask Him to help you with what you need help with! God is there, and He is willing to come and help you! In God's eyes you are as precious and loved by Him as anyone else, and we know that in 2 Peter 3:9 it is written:

"The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

I disagree on some of this. I do not find a single Person who sought the spiritual experience of His presence as a remedy for sin. Modern believers are taught to seek experience, for sure. I have been to those meetings where his presence is supposed to be there and NO ONE is repenting of sin or Feeling it's weight. They just glory in some feelings or tinglings. Sorrow over sin is not a modern goal nor is in encouraged. Just feeling the spiritual high is the goal. Not sure what Spirit that is though. Not sure the HS Shows up like pushing a button or getting on an amusement part ride. But music that is moving can mimic a lot. Billy Joel Songs will do it as well as other secular artists. Mozart is also quite moving to the Spirit. The right music and one feels something.

My advise to ask him to cleanse you but not so that you can experience some pleasant high. This is using him and he will not cooperate. Just ask him to cleanse you of your sin because it is DIRTY, not so that you feel better about you.

Asking Him to reveal your sin as he sees it is good advise. Asking him to convict you of sin it also good. Never heard of anyone going through the book of life with him, not in the Bible for elsewhere. Sounds way too pleasant.

His love for you doesnt depend on you doing good or bad because while we were still sinners Jesus died for us

Again I quote:

John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

I'd say God loves wilful sinners about as much as he did those he drowned back in the days of the flood, but one thing is certain, Christ himself very clearly and simply tells us right there, what will happen if we live in sin.

It took me some time before I started feeling guilty for my sin, as it just seemed so normal how could I right off the bat like that. However, I did believe God and his ideas on sin, and I eventually started seeing things as he does, just as many of us do.

So just keep asking for forgiveness when you sin out of temptation, and never plan on sinning as you indicate you do not. It's a lot like our judicial system sees murder, if it's premeditated, it's bad, and the punishment is harsh, but if it's a spur of the moment thing that we generally don't do and never planned to do, I feel those are all forgivable, within reason. Forgiveness is a huge part of the deal so yes, of course he will forgive.you. Even something premeditated is forgivable if we repent and stop premeditating.

When we are sincere in trying to be good, just as a parent does with their child, God will know if we are trying, and like a good and patient parent, God s very happy to forgive if we ask him. If you can't feel guilty, at least on the intellectual level you are aware sin displeases him. For those who have children, you know how it works when they are being very good, then when they do something wrong, you hardly think a thing of it, I personally think that's just the way God does, the more we try, the more tolerant he is when we do mess up.

I wouldn't worry so much about the lack of guilt right now, just do as the bargain between you and God requires, and you should be fine.

God made me a new creature. I was in darkness, now I walk in the Light because I love Him.

Ephesians 4
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil. 28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

1 John 1
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1 John 2
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Some people make the same stupid mistakes over and over without learning. Unless one repents, a pattern of loss and depression may set in.

Alcoholism is a sin. One ought not be ignorant. There is a better way.

Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

John14:15 If you love me, Keep my commandments.

Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. John 14:23

So do you really love him? Or do you just experience an emotional surge when you think about how much he loves you?

Didn't mean to be harsh, but that is the Standard God uses as to whether someone loves him or not. He does not see a heart bursting with Feeling when the Music is surging at church. He does know the difference between graditute and love. Little children just love Santa cause he gives them stuff. Sometimes Cristians who Claim they love God Sound very similar...they love cause God gave them gifts.

Your conclusion does not follow from what the verse stated.
