I fully believe that he is my Lord and Savior. But I've got some repentance that I've been having a real hard time with. Struggling so to speak.
I know I have to fully surrender. I just don't know how.
Maybe a better question is how to repent and get help from Jesus doing it? I'm sure many of us are trying, failing, and trying to figure it out particular sins that we struggle with.
I know this may be the place to ask and find someone who can give real advice on how they changed their life, maybe some scripture advice, and repented. I've prayed a lot to ask God to help me, and he HAS in ways I didn't expect. But I know he wants me to take the wheel and drive rather than him taking care of it. I just don't know how to fully surrender and accept things the way that they are.
Anyways, thanks in advance. Prayers and advice would be much appreciated.
God Bless You All.

Yup I saw that a while back. Pretty startling isn't it.
Did you like the movie?
I ordered a DVD so I can pass it around to my kids...it should arrive tomorrow so we will probably watch Friday night...I am looking forward to it because of your recommendation...I'll let you know what I think.
I look forward to your review.
“People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed.” - Samuel Johnson
The movie reminded me of how Satan operates, by getting us to agree to give into small almost insignificant temptations that when laid together lead us to a place we would never had gone in one big step. That the easiest way to not go down the wrong path, is to not start on that path in the first place.
I know my salvation is secure, but the devil can rob me of the joy of my salvation, if I let him. He can't change a light into stone, but he can put a cover over the light so that it does not shine.
Your thinking is so solid MD...temptation is a perfect example of the Overton Window...often in my life I have thought "I want to play with fire, but I don't want to get burnt." And I usually end up getting burnt...I identify with Paul a great deal on temptation, sin and how weak we are to be caught up in the enslavement and destruction that satan so delights in...it is real...and you are right about walking a path that keeps your eyes on the Lord...not being sidetracked with the things of this world...this is why we have to crucify the old self daily...and knowing all this...God loves us, was willing to pay the price for our redemption and forgives us...everything with God is WIN, WIN, WIN...what a mighty God we serve...
