Because it’s been an ongoing concern of mine that I’ve mentioned many times in the past here and I think it’s a dangerous mindset that puts people in a box. I’m not being disrespectful by saying so. If you or others want to use Myers Briggs as as their sole excuse for their identity, go for it. I just don’t find it healthy. Especially when you look into its origins. This is the stuff businesses use for job placement. Little else. And its success rate is not always great. As far as disrespecting introverted people, I’m not. You are getting hostile with someone who lives in the woods surrounded by wildlife, not people. I’m posting because I was participating in the thread already. If I’m not breaking rules, it’s none of your concern. I do hope you start having a better day.
Persons with your personality type and giftings often make for good intercessors.
I think you've offered some very helpful advice.
I have been thinking it.. thinking lol I wonder, if casting out spirits is involved in that too. Russ Dizdar is right up my alley line of thinking being. repentance is everything without repentance no gifts no spirit no life. I have witnessed healings when I have done what God wants and put hands on. I always say if you want it God. not me doing it. BUT people have got healed that were doomed. I have dreams, everything I dreamt have come to pass and Jesus appears. things like that.Persons with your personality type and giftings often make for good intercessors.
Intercessors tend to 'see' life beyond the surface. They tend to see things more from a spiritual perspective, than from a worldly one. While they may be knowledgeable of world events, they tend to look at the spiritual side of things. And so yes, intercessors do tend to get quite easily bored with surface-level chit chat.
If you are looking for ministry opportunities, you may want to consider intercessory prayer. It is a valid and very needful calling. But it is also one mostly done in private. It can seem like a lonely ministry, if one does not find contentment in spending much time alone with God and interceding in prayer for others. But with your nature and giftings, it might be something worth exploring.
Back in the 80's, the Myers Briggs was highly promoted within businesses to help determine one's best job fit. My organization offered it to all of us, and I found it to be very insightful ... and pretty 'spot on' in assessing my personality type. But then ... I would find that kind of thing interesting, as a 'deep thinker' myself! lol
God bless you. You may not find many deep thinkers here ... most forums are designed for chit-chat, and debate, ... and so many 'deep thinkers' don't seem to spend much time here involved in those things. Least, that has been my experience. But even deep thinkers benefit from some light-hearted chit chat, at times!
I have been to churches, meeting what have we,right. what I wonder about why there are so few that not burn by the spirit? I mean like revivals, meetings, prayer long meetings, healings deliverance spiritual warfare? I am seeking it! I wonder why so few. I have experienced it.Persons with your personality type and giftings often make for good intercessors.

I understand that frustration.
I hear what you are saying.
I can`t deny what I have seen, when staying close to God. People doomed to a life in wheelchair walking normally, poltergeist saying I was not welcome inside the apartment and the woman living there calling me possessed and got delivered by Jesus, it left, to the lady in a nursing home violent like a lot but not when i was in prayed and she died, free God said she should have died long ago it had kept her alive. to dreams for years about what is happening in the world now to winning over sin. It is just me though, so it is difficult to just go out on the street, not safe. I had no one to teach, just the bible and God. So far not seen things like this anywhere. You see and hear online, but not irl. I understand you have to act on it to make it happen. So I will try, and see what different churches want to do. If I was a male I would have started my own ministry long ago. There might be one church, not sure yet. And especially regarding the new age and the occult as so many people are lost in it! SO many in UK that it is the fastest growing religion. And I came out of it! To me it is crystal clear just don`t want to be held down or told we don`t talk about it that have happened before. Because we are ALL in spiritual warfare and the demonic is getting more and more. sometimes I feel like I am sitting on a rocket. It is "just" me Jesus, and the bible. I haven`t done anything for it just trying to do what is right and believe. No specific church direction other than bible, if it is in the bible it is right otherwise out. cautious, careful and all that. Been through things to recognise deception. A righteous fire against deception. Interesting times.I hear what you are saying.
I believe the reason we are not seeing those things ... revivals, prayer meetings, etc. ... is because much of the church has become lukewarm. We are living in a time of spiritual lukewarmness, where churches are attempting to walk more in step with the world, than in step with Jesus Christ.
But there is, and will always be, a remnant of believers who will be 'onfire' for the Lord. Making the connection with them today can be the challenge, but there will always be a remnant who are earnestly seeking God and following Him in His ways. The Word and the Spirit make it so.
Stay encouraged, And I will pray, too, that God will lead you to some committed, 'deep thinking' Christians to make connection with.
