Seeking Fellowship

[spoookeesgh]

Hello all. I wanted to introduce myself. I was reminded here recently of a time that I lived some distance from everyone I grew up around that when I would come down for these longer weekends people would actually get angry because I didn't have enough time to see everybody I wished I could have seen. Comparing that to the amount of loneliness that I feel these days is difficult to describe. I mean without going on about it it seems like I've got my hand full of Christian people that I can talk to on Facebook and there's a handful of non-Christian people I can talk to on facebook. And then there's everybody else that just wants to gossip and argue and fight and literally look for trouble and look for reasons to be angry and upset. I guess the last straw that sent me here was the judgmental nature and everyone.

I know we are all sinners and I'm certainly not looking to judge anybody because I've got my share. But I just thought I should reach out to a group of people that at least share my faith and see if maybe I can meet some new folks that will be a little more accepting. Really going through a spiritual battle right now as well and I could really appreciate prayers specifically to have the strength and the soundness of mine to remain calm when in pain.

Thanks so much! Can I pray for you?

'With all things taking place, undoubtedly there are many that are struggling with
spiritual unrest. And it is no wonder with the events taking place...and much within the
'Christian' arena causing an abundance of discord.'

Hello there. I totally understand what you're talking about. I myself was tired of the people who said they represented Christ but in action totally displayed the opposite. It's a good thing to find people who are true in heart and spirit ♥

It seriously hurts my heart how worldly people act but then when fellow Christians turn around and do it it's really heartbreaking to me. So much judgment.

I'm not usually a person who types out their prayers in replies but I am praying for you. Also, Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Spiritual battles are the devils way of distracting us

Thank you so much. 🙏

It really means a lot. God is really moving in my life. I'm in a horrible amount of physical pain waiting on a hip replacement that's affecting my left leg as well w nerve pain. Today is a LOT better. I'm trying SO HARD to bear the cross better.

"We are living in a very disturbed society, and 'prince of the power of the air' appears
to be the adversary bringing cause of untold anguish...and worsening."

'I have learned to focus on spiritual reality, here in the now. And not to offend but I
believe many are vacant of and ignore the profound significance of attaining a spiritual
attitude and thereby practicing the inspired principles of life introduced through inspired teachings of Jesus Christ.'

'And effectual prayers with a spiritual heart are known to be powerful.'

I'm totally on the same page with you. I hate to say this but I've been hurt worse by so called Christians than worldly people. I've found it hard to trust people in general now. But, I know that God doesn't want this. So I've told myself to just keep on and treat people like Jesus did, does. People somehow take on arrogance in their walk with God to judge others way too harshly and forget that we are all on a day by day, or minute by minute walk with God. I'm not perfect at all but I thank God for his mercy that renews for us daily. I hope you can find peace with talking about anything you need to with me. We must all learn how to take part in the ministry of listening to our brothers and sisters in Christ🙂
