Ok, I prayed but now what?

I pray that someone  would tell me this: ""God drew me to read  one of your posts about   salvation,, and  He drew me to read them all, over time,  and  as I read  them  something   inside me  changing my heart..  I was  finding  that I wanted   to know God, too.  So  I finally  prayed the prayer to receive Jesus   and I  do think a light has turned on inside me...  something is different anyway!   But  now what?""

  

Taking that  step  from darkness into the light  across the great divide!

I would answer this by saying, now  it is time to start  looking for God    .. if you're  a computer  person there is  so much you can find online,    but  I  would caution everyone..  There are great articles,  ...  with  wonderful  ideas  for study and  knowing God..  and there are  some that are  false teachings...  The new Spirit living in you will help you discern the good from the bad. Do not get carried  away  with   the    things  I might call  dramatic...  dwelling on spirits and    things not of this world..  there is a lot on here about that...  Many of them would lead you into dark places...      instead   look for ways, in particular, to  learn about God. 

           

Read the Bible ... Begin with  the book of John in the new testament. let the Spirit guide you  there after!

Keep a journal,  use a highlighter to mark scriptures you love and that speak to you directly ... put a date with a pen on that scripture in your Bible...  It is  ok to  make your Bible your own... 

 I will  list now some good sites online  that would be very helpful!
