A guy I met.

[coolchicka]

Hello.
I need some advice on this one guy that I met. Another guy that ive known for 3 years introduced him to me.
I mean he kinda acts wierd sometimes. He seems like the kind of guy that has had a really hard life. He told me he has really really bad depression and all other sorts of stuff. He also told me that his dad died 3 years ago. I myself lost my mom when I was 14.

This guy is 19 the same age as me.Well I was hanging out with him a little bit last night. And he was like I told someone I would meet him out by the lake. And I was like uh, um....ok So I took him there. And I was like who you going to meet and he was like I just talk to the wind. And he sat on a rock and cried like out to his dad that died 3 years ago stuff like I dont know what to do all the stuff ive gotten myself into, I need help. all sorts of stuff I almost got freaked out.

When he was done with that I was like u ok. He said yea. Then I was like you go to church anywere he was like yea once in a while I go to the First church of God in my town.

Then he was like your probally not going to wanna talk to me again then he was like my dad was wiccan. Then He started talking like I guess im part wiccan too. Hes like I can see good and evil spirits.

Then im like why.
Im like you said you go to church too?
He was like yea.
I played my favorite band Skillet the album Comotose
for him and he really liked it and wanted to see them in concert with me this weekend.

Um guys what do I do? I mean what if he really seriously needs some help from someone? Should I take him to my church what do I do? How do I talk to him?

I mean he seems like a guy that needs help.

Talk to your mutual friend about this. I think he may need more help than one person can give. He needs friends who will help support him through this time. Show him the Bible, definitely. But if his DAD was wiccan, he may not be open to it because it would be like admitting his Dad was not right with God and will probably wind up in Hell. That is a hard thing for folks to deal with.

Most importantly, he needs a good network of support. How is his Mother? Family? Brothers and Sisters?

You seem like a really sweet, kind-hearted young lady. Study with him, and I am sure you and your friend can help.

Bring in some more friends to support him. I don't think he needs a sudden bucket of counseling poured on him, but needs to know a few extra people are there for him.

If you go together this weekend, the relationship will probably build (or not and disappoint him), and you might be pulled in to more than you want to handle right now.

He has been managing the loss of his dad gradually, so he will probably continue to. It sounds as though you said helpful things to him.

If he's still in this sensitive mode, he probably will be oversensitive to people wanting to change him. It sounds like you managed that well -- mentioning options for help but not insisting.

Don't underestimate the value of what a couple of listening friends can do.

your not a counselor so dont try to solve his problems
he is obviously very hurt and has alot of stuff to work thru
be a friend but remember friends tell other frinds when there wrong (i he gets too out of line)
see if u can introduce to someone who can help (Pastor/counselor)
call 1-800-new-life for good christian counselors in ur area

MY FRIEND,

If i am reading you correctly--that you are "part wiccan"--i would strongly suggest that you need help at least as much as your friend. i think you have a strong need talk to your Pastor or someone in Spiritual authority about this. How can part of you belong to Jesus and part to Satan?

NO I am not wiccan I put that part in there because thats what that GUY said about himself.

I hate to say this, but I think the guy has serious issues. He's wiccan and see's evil spirits? This would make me run in the other direction as a christian. Or you could try to make him see the light. That God condems that sort of thing. I guess it depends on how much you like him. I guess that wasn't much help. Sorry. God bless.

Have a male friend help him....did I mention a male friend?

 

[heron]

Hes like I can see good and evil spirits.

Send him links to some of these forums, where other people have seen spirits too, and deal with them. If he is allowing spirits to have any control over him, then it will likely increase to a point that he won't be able to handle.

Dreams & Visions
Spiritual Warfare
Deliverance Ministry

I suggested dreams and visions, because people there often see spirits as they are waking or falling asleep. It is also a fairly neutral area, where people get into fewer theological battles, and help each other out.

I really understand how hard this is for you. My boyfriend went through a lot of depression before he met me, many times to the point that he had turned his back from god. He is still getting that back, but honestly, be there for him, talk to him about how well things could be. Don't turn him away though, no matter how depressed he is. He needs someone to be there and comfort him. I lost my dad when I was 8 and all I wanted was for someone to hold me and tell me its all ok. Be that person for him. If you care a great deal about him, then try to help. All you can do is sit him down and tell him that you are there to listen and help through anything.

Offer him your friendship and don't try to push anything on him, show him the way to light just by being his friend. With a sturdy head on your shoulders and the power of the Lord behind you, you may influence people in better ways than trying to lay a trip on him!

You are in my prayer tonight. God Bless!
