Weird feeling when i accepted Jesus into my heart!

[JohnyBelievesinchrist]

Hello everyone my name is Johny ! And i recently came to the lord. About 2 days ago. When i accepted him into my heart i cried of happiness. I'm now reading bible every day and i'm praying every morning and every evening. But the thing is here that after i repented i felt a really weird feeling. I don't know how to explain it but i probably got this feeling because i knew now that i believe in Christ i need to stop watching tv shows like the walking dead and game of thrones and i need to stop hanging out with my old friends. Old friends were really bad. They were always thinking about girls and sex and they were cursing all the time. I need to stop playing violent video games like call of duty... I have a really weird feeling because i need to get rid of this stuff like some people told me. But this things have been a huge part of my life. I don't know what to do i asked jesus about it but i still haven't find the answer. Please guys help me i don't know how should i deal with this. I'm 14 years old and this is my first time being on this page. I really don't know if i posted my question in the right topic... But i really need help and i need to get rid of this awful feeling...
Thank you so much for the help
God bless !

I assume you found out about Christ from a church of some kind. The best thing for you to do is contact that local church. The Internet is not the place to solve issues like this.

However, for this forum the place to ask such a question would be here:

Hi, don't worry too much about whether you should have posted this message in this forum or another.

I found myself in a similar position when I accepted Jesus into my life. I was 15 when God sent an angel to tell me to follow Jesus. I rushed to my local church the next Sunday and repented - I handed to him my old clothes and put on new clothes. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders and I wept as I realized and felt that I had been sanctified and purified. I was suddenly conscious of all my bad habits that I needed to get rid of, that I wanted to get rid of. The first few months after I was saved were amazing because Jesus made everything so clear to me. I was no longer worried about the things all my friends were worried about. I was free of it all and Jesus was my focus.

But this experience I was going through didn't seem to chime with anyone else's experience in my local church. I was treated as a small child - do not speak until I'm spoken to, my opinions don't really count, how can I have such understanding as an adult, I should do as I'm told by the adults. I had no one to speak to. I struggled. There was no youth group, no youth pastor in my church I could speak to. I remember making an appointment and went to the Vicarage - I went to a traditional Church of England church - and told the vicar how I was struggling with my faith. He just said that I was swimming in the sea and I need to choose which island I wanted to swim to. He didn't make any sense at all.

MY RECOMMENDATION: find a church which has a youth pastor who is willing to spend time listening to you and where there is a vibrant youth group. If you already go to such a church, then pray to God, cry out to your heavenly Father to comfort you, to pour out more of his Holy Spirit on you, to bless you. Give thanks to God and praise him for his magnificence - be extravagant in your praise. Ask the Holy Spirit to draw you closer and closer to Jesus and God each day, ask him to guide you to the right people who are going to help you develop your faith.

Prayer is the solution - it will provide you with the solution.

Hey Johny.. welcome to the family! Did you know ALL of heaven rejoiced of you? Really. There is now no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus. The Father of our lord Jesus Christ does not ever EVER make us feel guilty. There are always those that tell you what you should be doing what you should be watching playing what not. Yet Jesus NEVER expects you to give up something you dont want to. Find a church that preaches the word. Make sure what anyone says is written in the bible. If of God He will always make sure your know where HE said it.

Jesus is REAL! So real He will tell you by His sweet sweet spirit whats in your life and needs to be changed. So fear worry doubt guilt.. these things are not of Him. So if there are things in your life you need to change. .things YOU KNOW should be changed.. ask Him for Help. Yes He is that real! When I was young.. went to church all the time.. read pray.. yet listen to acid rock music. God never once made me feel guilty....other Christians did...,but never my Father. Yet I loved HIM..and He is so real.. one day it just changed. To some it happens RIGHT THEN! Some it takes longer. So one day it just changed.. out of the blue.. I didnt want to listen to it any more...never have since then.

Same with games. So you talk to Him.. tell Him if there is things in your life that HE does not like does not what you to do have what ever.. He is so real.. He will change your heart. The key is YOU have to make the choice. Your not alone..EVER! To those that need strength HE WILL GIVE IT! Its a walk... we all miss it goof up.. just pick your self up and keep going (repent). But my little brother.. NEVER EVER let satan lie to you and make you feel guilty! For the JOY of the lord is your strength. Isa 41:10..read it.. Jesus is for you..never ever ever ever against you. Keep reading and praying

It's not only about what we need to stop.

There is learning how to love.

Any real Christian can help you, but there are church people who can be abusive; you need to be ready to love and forgive the wrong ones, and keep on discovering the ones who love you and know how to help you.

That's amazing Johny! Welcome to the family So glad to have you join us in this forum. It has greatly encouraged and blessed me and I know it will be the same for you. First of all..Praise God! Whooo! Just by reading what you wrote, the Holy Spirit is taking effect in your heart and life and is now convicting you of certain things that before you never really thought much about. That's a good thing! This is the Holy Spirit's way of moulding you into the likeness of Jesus Christ and in order to protect you, sometimes He wants us to either evangelize to unbelievers or..to simply stop hanging around them because new 'baby Christians' need to be built up in Christ and become strong in Him and in the knowledge of Him and His Word and in our faith in Him. Maybe in a few months/years down the road, He might allow you to cross paths with your old friends and be a witness for Him on how He has changed you and worked in your life!

I also love how you feel convicted of certain movies and shows. I was the same way- especially when it came to music. The seeds, that some of the ungodly music I was listening to back then, were being planted in my heart and my words and actions and the way I thought would be heavily influenced by music and certain shows and it was so evident. I highly recommend listening to the K-Love radio station. You can even listen to them online!

I wrote up a few blogs about the enemy and what to watch out for- especially for new Christians. We need to be aware of its schemes and what we're up against. Definitely check that out when you have the time: http://www.christianforums.com/xfa-blogs/spirit-reborn.378961/

Also..
This is something that may help strengthen your belief, your faith, and hope like it has for mine.
I intentionally skipped it to the time in the video that I wanted you to view it from [should start at 52:22]. I've probably watched this about 8 times already.. it's super powerful and far from boring ♥ I highly recommend it. This guy is down to earth.
