Question about my pastor who locked my phone

Hi,

I have a question that I would like to ask you guys. My pastor is very concerned about the technology within the church and he said that we needed to have our devices locked so that way there would be some form of control over what we do on our devices. I followed along believing it was the right thing to do and that it would prevent temptation and hoping my husband would follow along because he has problems with his device. Well, I started to notice about a year ago that some of my conversations or even things I would talk about to my spouse or someone on the phone was being repeated word for word over the pulpit. Or even things I would have listened to that I never talked to with anyone about. It has really started to bother me and make me think something is not right and I am beginning to wonder if my phone could have possibly been tapped? How could I find this out? My hubby keeps saying it’s God speaking through our pastor. I believe God does reveal things to pastors and they do have discernment but I don’t think it should be this often and for things that are not concerning. Like I listened to some tapes called the good old days and it talked about how people lived back when there was no electric and people walked to school and things like that and I was preached to that I wouldn’t really want to live on the old days when there was no electric and that I need to get out of the past and stuff like that. I was almost floored when I had heard that preached because there was no way anyone heard me listening to that and I hadn’t talked to anyone that day. The last straw was last Sunday when my pastor called out over the pulpit something I said to my kids when I was upset before church and it floored me again and my husband was there and he said it’s God talking to you. I don’t want to cause problems within the church but this is really bothering me. I was willing to have my device locked but I wouldn’t want them to hear conversations I have with my husband and things like that. My pastor took an hour to lock my device and I didn’t see what was done on my device. He did not lock my husband’s device.

Thank you! I have really been trying to figure out what to do in this situation. I thought about confronting him but what would they say? I really am bothered by it because I don’t want to cause trouble within the church. My pastor has had problems with people just up and leaving in the past and I do not want to be the cause of division. I think it is a worry of his that my family would just leave like the others but really he should not go to this extent to make sure we wouldn’t. I know Satan wants to destroy our pastors within the church. I have a lot of resentment that is building up inside of me because of this and it has caused spiritual issues because I don’t know whether to trust that what he is saying is not just from listening to my device or really from God. There are so many instances that I could say where I was literally floored because I was being preached to very specifically about something I had said or done that day. I really don’t want to speculate but I can’t have all these spiritual problems stacked up on my shoulders and not talk to someone about it. I have only told a few people about it but no one within the church. I do not believe in causing division because God speaks very badly about this. I really want him to know that this is just a trick of Satan to make him fall if he is really doing this and justifying it.

I can't imagine your staying at that church. God, not man, should direct your path. It is obvious that this man is obeying Satan. I feel bad when people are gullible like I once was.
