Firstly, go over this short checklist to make sure that you are truly saved :

(i) Are you aware that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world?

(ii) Did you come to the Savior because you had sinned and needed forgiveness?

(iii) Did you repent and decide to turn away from your sins?

(iv) Have you been born again of water and of the Spirit? (John 3:3-5)

(v) Are you willing to do the will of God as revealed in the scriptures (Matthew 7:21-27, James 2:18-20).

Next, do these to save you from pain

(i) Feed on the word daily : Find somewhere quiet and thoroughly soak your Spirit in the word of God, in Romans 12:2 , the believer is told to do something with his mind.

(ii) Faith.

(iii) Evangelism : Preach the gospel at all times in and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2).

(iv) Prayer : As far as God is concerned, if you belong to Jesus, you are automatically a V.I.P, therefore you can boldly come before the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16) . You have direct access to the king because you are a son or daughter of the King.

(v) Pray in the Spirit to build up your faith (Jude 20)
(vi) Spiritual welfare : The way to overcome the devil and his demons is to make sure that you are outfitted with the armor of God listed in Ephesians 6:10-20. Become familiar with it and never take it off, bind the two edged sword to your hand so that you will never lose its grip.

(vii) Pray for your pastor and his family (Hebrews 13:7).

(Viii) Always give thanks.

(ix) Lastly, Always pay tithe and offering.
