You are most welcome. And I apologize that you had to have that heap of evil layed upon you so unfairly. For anyone struggling, the last thing we need is to have someone threaten us in any kind of way. We need to be gentle, calm and relaxed. In other words, we need to be confident. Unfortunately, confidence [doesn't] come from the Lord, for if it did, there wouldn't be so much weakness and insecurity, here at the forum, that causes us to lash out and be so angry and aggressive; controlling. Best thing to do is realize that these people are lost in their emotional matrix. They're so lost, they think they're "found" and believing that they can lead others into being found just like them. The blind leading the blind.

But I believe in you, and that counts for something small but good.

You bet. What and who are your best friends? They are the ones that help you to take your problems away. Simple friends are the ones that stand by your battlefield and watch you get slaughtered. Enemies heap evil upon you. Only trust the ones that are your best of friends. Never trust anyone that heaps evil upon you. If you do this, your path to God will be much more straight and far less out of the Matrix....where everyone else is.

Are you a man of God?

I Cor. 12:11 All these are the work (spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit in earlier verses) of one and the same Spirit, and he DISTRIBUTES them to EACH ONE, JUST AS HE DETERMINES.

II Cor. 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the FELLOWSHIP of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Grow in being led by the Holy Spirit, perceiving the work of the Holy Spirit in your life and you will grow in using the gift of discernment.

Hi. Even though I only became Christian last year I have been able to sense when things are not right. I can walk into a room/building and sense evil or something not good and my body reacts by shaking, feeling chilly, goosebumps and my eyes water heavily (not crying). I was in my local supermarket one evening. It was quiet and I laid eyes on someone but straight away I felt, literally in my gut, that this person was not good but felt he was biding his time to rob the store. Of course I had no proof but I felt so nervous and uncomfortable so didn't hang around. I didn't know how to react but it wasnt good. I sense when I'm not alone and when I get that feeling I pray for protection. I've had many experiences which I couldnt explain but now wonder if I have the gift of discernment.

This is not related to gift of discernment.

I suppose it depends on ones level of personal weakness and fear. I run towards that stuff (which can be dangerous), so I am a bit different. I agree with you.

Its not weakness to have the wherewithall to know well enough to leave. Thats just a bit of common sense.

The spiritual gift of discernment is when you can decipher between what is true and what is false.
In other words, you can discern the difference between what is good and what is evil.
Hebrews 5:14

Can you explain please? I'm being told it it

Gift of discernment will help one to differentiate truth from falsehood.

Thats what I've been able to do for quite a while now to be honest. Not in everything but in a lot of things. Thankyou x

It will help also to identify 'ear tickling' and convenient concepts against the preaching of Jesus

I'm sorry that I didn't represent myself well. Fear clouds our minds, limiting our choices. Fear causes mental shutdown to the degree that we're afraid. I was with my former x-wife in an old rundown motel on the 28th floor in Manhattan New York. We told the vator to take us to floor 1 but it didn't. We were stuck, going nowhere and my x-wife began to experience her fear and in a matter of thirty seconds, her fear had multiplied so much so that there she was, laying on the floor in fetal position. I'd never seen her like that before....I had no idea that she suffered as such from her fear.

It's a good thing that her children never needed her protection....she was too terrified to help her own kids whom she claimed that she loved. See what I mean?

In different context sure it can be a weakness.. but if someone Is shooting or planning to shoot ... The smart thing to do is to remove yourself from the situation. At most call the cops when you're far away and at a secure location... To try and be fool Hardy and " be a hero" just isn't smart at all.

Well, I guess that I'm stupid and if I save lives in the future and lose my own, so be it. I know who my God is and where I'm going. If I'm at church and someone comes into the building and starts shooting, if I am able, I will become offensive and do something about the problem....but that's only me. I'm not a DNC.

I just think it's better to let people who are trained to handle the situation to do their jobs. That's just me.

I feel like someone just came up from behind and slapped me in the head. What a weird problem you have with me. lol

That slap wasn't from me. I don't have an issue with you at all. Just stating my opinion
Is all ... however I don't want to derail OP's thread so this is all I'll say on our sidebar discussion.
