I have been having very good experiences with the churches I have been a part of for 40 years. I can tell the difference between a Spirit Filled church of sincere believers who are living the way Christ has called us to live and a dead formal group of lost people going to church to get their church ticket punched so of course I have never attended those kinds of churches and all my experiences have been wonderful.
It is not that hard.

Yes. But I think the time is coming, and has now come, when God will expose the liars and traitors in the Mainstream Media. I believe there will still be deceptions to come, but we can rejoice that the false gods others put their hopes in are exposed in all their shame and wickedness.

So good to hear that. I feel we have a purpose here - a work to do. But more and more I feel like this place is not my home. The more wicked it becomes the more I feel like it's foreign and I don't belong for. Every time I read the news I see that it's growing more evil and I long for a holy environment.

I'm feeling weary in the battle and if I flip the news on for even a minute it sickens me since I know they're spewing lies. Do you realize that we're just like Nazi Germany where the news was owned by the government and all the as heard was propaganda? I spoke to a friend yesterday and she's so brainwashed by the media that I could hardly bear to speak with her. I find it puzzling why more Christians don't realize that we're the victims of propaganda.

Even before I was a Christian I never felt like I belonged here I always felt like there must some other world where I actually belong I could go chameleon and blend in with people but never really felt like I was supposed to be in this world.
Becoming and a Christian and especially in these later days as we have been nearing closer and closer to the end of year I feel less and less a part of this world and honestly I just want to go home now I am so tired and weary of this world and it is really making me worn inside too
I have had so many dreams and visions this year of the wedding of the lamb of the rapture of that beautiful garden I have always wanted to walk with Jesus in and play and laugh together but everything just keeps going and things are going downhill faster and faster on one hand this would indicate he is indeed coming for his bride very soon but at the same time I just don't see it happening and it saddens me.
I just want so badly to finally hold him in my arms and just never let go but alas I am just not sure if I can actually hope for it any time soon.

Exactly. It's been like this for years, but the lies are so obvious now, I wonder how anyone, least of all Christians, can be oblivious to the truth.
The author of the video (Probably Alexandra) has a good handle on the situation, in my view. I've believed that elections were a scam for a long time, but couldn't understand why Trump was doing so many (apparently) good things, or at least things which seemed bad for the pedophiles and devil worshippers in government, the media etc. (primarily, but not solely, Democrats). Apparently, in Occult circles (including Freemasonry which runs the world), there is a Light side and a Dark side (both of which serve the devil). However, the Light side serve the devil as Lucifer (he appearing to them as an angel of light), whilst the Dark side serve him as Satan (the devil he really is). To me, this revelation showed me how Trump could be selected by the enemy, but apparently be doing good things. This also reminds me of the passage in Revelation "having two horns like a lamb, but speaking like a dragon".
I still think Trump will win this election. I think the danger (and I hope I'm wrong, because he and his team have been doing a lot of good things), is that people will start to elevate him (or his team, or the military, or even America) to a level above which any man should be elevated.
Ultimately, God is in control, so do not fret. Even if Trump is going to turn out to be a bad guy, I'm hoping God will use him to bring all these other liars and bad guys to justice.

Not being funny but.. feel? No.. I know I don't belong here. And the Church is not messed up. I think whats happening is part of the end. By that I mean AntiChrist one world order. Its as if its trying to come out a tad earlier. I could be wrong but.. its so hard for me to grasp how many treat a lie now as truth and the truth is now a lie. Its shocking.

Look how many voted for him this time. What God started through Trump.. there is no going back. I agree I don't believe God is done with him..

Hello saintrose!
Yes, we do not belong here! We are passing through, Pilgrims. And you are correct, the world is growing more and more wicked.
Think about this: As believers in Christ, as we continue going from faith to faith, we are being transformed into the image of the Lord, i.e. taking on the characteristics of God. In opposition, unbelievers continue to move further away from the characteristics of God, embracing the sinful nature. That's what I have noticed in the world in that, it appears that they have completed forgotten or have done away with the idea of being sinners and are running head-long into that sinful nature.
So what is happening is, believers are moving towards God and unbelievers are going in the opposite direction taking on the characteristics of Satan. It is manifested in the amount of pride, arrogance and the lack of humility. Then there's that spirit of entitlement, which manifests in many ways.
As believers, we need to stay close to God in prayer and in His word. Looking for God's provision for Good works that we may continue to glorify Him, not to mention that Jesus also said that by doing so we are building up our treasures in heaven.
We just need to understand that we are in the last generation and that the Father is getting ready to send His Son to gather His bride from the earth and begin to pour out His wrath upon a wicked Christ rejecting world.
Just be thankful that we are not going to be on the earth to experience that level of sin and lawlessness. We should be looking forward to the blessed hope, the appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Therefore as Paul said, comfort each other with these words.

According to the Bible, no one who has been born again truly belongs here.
I assume you intend the question to imply whether or not one feels the culture in which we were raised has endured. It hasn't and that's why we feel displaced. The feeling of not being a part of the culture is a result of decades of culture war, which middle class white folks have lost. It's also a result of church leadership abandoning their devotion to Jesus Christ in favor of the Almighty Dollar.
I sat in a church service once in which the preacher openly admitted he preached, "happy talk to fill seats." Let's face it folks, the God business is a good way to make a pile of money if you know how to do it and have few scruples. Evangelist Jim Baker, who did time in a penitentiary for real estate fraud, later admitted the first time he read the Bible from cover to cover was when he was behind bars. Our religious leaders have betrayed us.
To be sure there are islands of congregations where devotion to God is held strictly. I've been to a few, but for the most part entire denominations have turned their back upon God and God's Word. The result is a corrupted form of religion that none but the hopeless and deluded attend.
Several years ago, I discovered an alternative to church. I praise the God of the Bible for guiding me into it.
Baruch ha-shem Y'shuah. (Hebrew for 'Praise the Name of Jesus')
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
