Saints I need your prayers. I am in Chrsitianity Oasis Christian Counseling right now for healing and deliverance. It is awesome!--but I still need your prayers.

I have a lot going on in my life right now from feeling lonely, rejected, scorned, conspired against and lied upon. Once I totally committed myself to JESUS it felt like all broke lose against me. I know that all of us is fighting a Spiritual Warfare but mines as others appears to be extremely rough.

I read a lot of your posting and I have responded to one myself about loneliness. I have been having my one on one time with the HOLY SPIRIT to take care of the loneliness but the name calling I seem to be getting bothers me and I need your prayers for this. You see, I speak up and out a lot about the TRUTH and this seems to have angried a lot of people. Yes, I will say that in the beginning I might NOT have said things in a loving way as the FATHER has command us to do but my mistake is in the past and I have asked my FATHER for forgiveness and HE has done this, therefore I must move forward.

Now, to tell my story and to make it short as possible (smile)-- I m being called names (evil names) and rejected by most, including my neighbors (this hurts) because one of my neighbors has known me for years and I do believe he started some of this (I could be wrong but let me put it like this--he doesn't speak or rarley speaks and check this out--we belong to the same church). I barely go to the church now and I do most of my studing at home & online. I listen to my pastor via internet or via television for fear of name calling. Yes, I have visited other churches in my town but a story is behind this also. I will give you a quick overview.
OVEVIEW: I visited this one church --Husband & Wife-- were Pastors. She (the wife) asked me to stand up and introduce myself and tell what church I was from and etc., (small churches usually do this) she didn't like the church I told her I was attending and she stated in front of the whole congregation--"It's it good to worship with people that look just like you." Well, since I know and love the LORD--my answer was---"It's it good that JESUS died to save the world from sin and their skin color doesn't matter." Why did I say that? My troubles started and I was no longer welcome there and it was made very clear. This has happen to me many times. I go to a chruch or function for fellowship to learn (peacefully) and They start asking me questions but they do not like my response. Most of these church going people immediately thinks I am some sort of Teacher or some type of Bibical Scholar or something (I wonder why?). I don't know why but this is what I get when I visit most churches or function. They feel very uncomfortable with me from the time I walk thru the doors--Do I need deliverance? If so, please pray for me--I accept all prayers that has my best interest at heart.

Back to the story: Now, What a name I have made for myself in this town and my neighborhood. Not all, but a lot of people in this town think and say evil things about me and it bothers me a little. I feel uncomfortable going to the grocery store, to the mail box, and etc., and I am trying to shake this feeling because I know it is a trick of the enemy. Yes, I keep on going but I get the "down feeling" a lot and I try to quickly change my thoughts and it works most of the times but often I spend a lot of time crying about what happen. I keep praying and asking the HOLY SPIRIT to comfort me; which HE does plus HE relaxes me but I get all worked up and have to start all over again. This is why I am asking for the Saints' Prayers. My LORD tells me where two or three is gather together in HIS name there HE is in the mix. He also talks about us (Saints) If we agree about anything on earth it is done in heaven according to his perfect Will & Plan. Pray for me Saints.

The town that I live in is not tiny but small enough for words to get around. I am hurting but I am pressing on. It sure would be nice to have the support & prayers of other True Chirstians. Again, I know that this is a trick of the enemy to make me give up and trun back but I refuse. I need prayer for courage, strength, a renewed mind and Christian Fellowship. Right now, I hardly have any true Christian Fellowhip and my soul longs for this and the aquaintances I know, often depends on me to help them.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and responses.

Hi fieldofflowers, welcome to the Oasis and the counseling steps. I want to start by giving you a big as it sounds like you could use one.

Sis...I want to begin by sharing with you that God loves you very much...and He doesn't want to see you hurting as you are. He knows that these people said some things that weren't right...and God knows you spoke out...but God also asks us to be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove when we tread amongst the wolves...so this means He asks us to be gentle in our delivery when we speak Truth...because as the saying goes we can catch more bees with honey...

I guess one thing I've found that helps me a lot is being humble to God when I hear others saying things I know God wouldn't be proud of...I often will speak up but in a manner that God can use me to try to enlighten without offending. Now I wasn't always like this...I had to work at it...and it took time...but it's worth it sis...and I know that God wants to help you as well...so that next time you speak the Truth...maybe they will hear Him thru you...instead of turning away...but I want to caution you that the Bible says not all will hear the Truth either...and if they don't then you have to wipe your feet and move forward.

I'm so glad you are doing the counseling steps fieldofflowers...there is healing in these steps...and healing is just what Thy Great Physician has ordered...so you grab hold sis...and ride with Jesus through the steps.

I hope to meet you in the chatroom sometime.

Take care and God Bless

hey feildofflowers..welcome to Oasis.

wanted you to know that im standing in prayer with you. Your post reminded me of how the pharisees treated Jesus when He spoke the truth to them....they didnt want to hear it either, cuz they had their own interpratations of who God saves..and who should worship and if so, how they should worship...on and on and on.

Keep praying, sis...for the Lord to lead you..in love and in truth. Unity is one of the things the Lord is calling His church to. As mlg has said..not all will hear...they have a choice. Keep seeking His love....and ask Him to give you wisdom in this. He will do so. He will lead you. Be at peace and wait for Him to show you.

Am looking forward to seeing what the Lord is gonna do as you take these steps in faith, sis.

hope to get to chat with you too, in the chat room one of these days soon.

im so glad the Lord led you here. You are among family.

in Jesus,
love momo

Welcome Fieldofflowers to Christianity Oasis! It's good to have you join us here.

I've found when i'm feeling pushed away or i'm not wanted or someone has come up against me for some reason and i try so hard to figure out what i've done wrong. I let fear take over and stress gets to me so easily. Have to back way from everyone. I tend to study and read more hours even if it means going into the wee hours of the night. Asking things, talking and speaking with the Lord, silently praying. As good as this is to me, at the same time i push away whats causing me to feel so stressed and the feeling of having to do everything alone. There is always that core of the problem somewhere. For me, i usually find i didn't put the trust in the Lord as i should have to help me overcome. The Lord is calling out to us to place our full trust in Him in all matters, humbling ourselves and opening up our whole selves to Him for healing. Something i'm still learning myself.

Will join you Sis in prayer as you are going through all this.

God Bless fieldofflowers

remember the old testament prophets? remember Jesus? remember the apostles? they ALL gave God's word no matter the consquences. the gift of prophecy (which is simply bringing revelation of what God's word is in a culturally sensitive way) offends. people put their traditions and such above the holy scriptures and GOD will deal with that if they portray themselves to be "in Christ".
there is no jew or gentile, no races, other than the fallen human race, and there are no distinctions as far as the One who died for our sins is concerned. anyone who makes such observances are in error. period. one main problems in a lot of churches is that people cover sin, they wink at it, go along with it, and act as if GOD does the same.
although you are being ostracized because of the truth, it's still the truth. pray not for yourself, but for them. pray that the GOD of mercy will open their eyes to behold what you know.
just think, "in as much as ye did it to one of the least of these, ye have done it to me".
Lord give peace and grace for malice and strife. send paraklesis to help with the walk of truth to hold her up and give her the gift of endurance.
Father, help her to tame the tongue when u are displeased but to shout from the rooftops and proclaim truth in times of error. Lord bring correction to those who profess to follow after you and are not looking to what Your Word says about how we must treat our brothers and sisters.
we know that "all things work together for good to them that are called according to [his] purpose.
bring healing to the offense and conviction to the offenders, in Jesus beautiful name,
amen

Thank you all for such beautiful words of encouragement. I truly believe that I am among friends and it feels so good I have now finish my Christian Counseling and has moved on to Many Called Few Chosen. I took the test and it was awesome!

I tell you saints I have learned a lot and have released a lot. I have a lot and God has answer my prayers by leading me to a sight where I am among true Worshippers. I no longer feel alone--Glory Be To GOD! Although I am sure that I will be rejected, despised, and conspired against but this means I have picked up my cross and is following JESUS!

I know now that JESUS is counting on me to carry HIS light in the world. As I study "Doing Nothing is a Choice" I chose to Do Something but I must remember to do it with a caring, humble, kind, loving, and patient spirit. I feel good here saints thanks to all your prayers and words of encouragement but remember all the credit goes God!
