I'm Alone...

[Jesus_freak1216]

I need prayer for my family and my former church.. It's a very long complex story which I can't explain very well, and I'm not sure if I'm allowed, but basically; my family and I have beem kicked out of my former church and denomination because of things they don't understand or just false accusations (there are actually more people who have been kicked out of this church than who actually attend it now), and the priest and archbishop of that diocese have commanded people to stop all contact with us, basically the priest of my old church said "if you talk to them, we will kick you out also". And all my friends who are at that church have obeyed my priest and turned their backs on me and my family, including my best friend I've had for, 16 years. I know for a fact that she and possibly some others will see whats going on, see that my priest has been lying to everyone, and will leave. But this is the most painful thing I have ever gone through. I have no real friends now. I need prayer, lots of it... Thanks.

To be honest it doesnt sound like a church you'd want to be a part of, I'm sure God will point you in the direction of another church. As for your friend I'm sure she will see what is going on. Pray about it

I am on your side, and praying. I used to be in a cult that did this very thing. They called it "Mark & Avoid".

Reguardless where it comes from, it is hurtful, and yes -- in my old group, friends of mine turned their back on me too -- just because of the leader's "say so".

Hang in there Bro. I'm with you 110% of the way. You are precious in the site of GOD. HE WILL NEVER "MARK AND AVOID" YOU.

Never, ever forget that. You can get a new/ better church. You can get new/ other friends. You cannot get a new/ better God.

He is there for you, and so am I.

There are A few things that you need to understand.No natural Church that you have joined is Gods Church.God does not kick out his own.
The Church that King Jesus Christ is building he is the head of it.no natural religious system is Gods Church.
It is true that you need to get instruction in
Gods way but not from churches that Satan is in control of.And he has many.
Your high Priest is King Jesus Christ.if you
are claiming to be a Christian.
Also you need his Holy Spirit Jesus himself
then can lead and direct your life then.
There is no one that has Gods Holy Spirit
that can end up in the wrong Church because that is how God talks to you through his Holy Spirit.
Jahovah i make a request for your ministering Spirits be sent to Josh and his
Family and confort them and lead them to
a church that you are the head of and i call
it done in Jesus Holy Name

Gracious Father,
Please be with this young man and his family as they are going through a rough time. We know that it is not Your will for us to seperate ourselves from each other. Please be with this church as they go through divisions and guide its leader to Your Word and allow him to see Your Word as You meant it and not as he wants it to read. Be with this family as they find another church and strengthen their faith so this does not adversely affect them spiritually. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

hey Josh,

The Lord has a greater purpose for you and your family. I don't know what His will is. But I've always known it to be good. He will send you and your family where needed and where you guys can be happy. Josh........It's not about religion, I just love God. Take care, buddy. Stay blessed.


Lord,

Thank You for having Josh and his family taken out of that church. I pray You open their hearts and send someone to lead them back to You. I pray You brign them to a place where they can each have a personal relationship with You. I pray You give them guidance, wisdom, strength, and courage through this trial that they are going through. In Jesus Christ name I pray, Amen.

Peace to you and yours, Josh.

 

[Quiet Storm]

How horrible. I'm definately praying for you.

 

[CRitabe]

God has promised to never leave us or forsake us - even though others do; so remember, you are never alone in any situation. In all things, we are to praise him and give him thanks. I'm praying that you will find peace in this situation.

 

[KidDitto]

How very sad to have a "church" do that to you and your family.

I hope you can seperate the "bad" things they have done forn the goodness of God.

God loves you and your family. And though it hurts now, maybe getting "out" of that church is going to be a huge blessing.

God loves you.

It sounds like a cult to me. Those are places you many not want to be near. I have a grandfather who goes to one and the kids get miss treated. I will pray for you and your family and the church. You and your family should find another church to go to.

 

[Jesus_freak1216]

you know what sweething...there were a group of people who got kicked out of this church go down to a couple of very well known, very Godly people for healing and forgiveness, and these two counselors, after hearing what happened, automaticall said that this church is a cult. and these two never say anything like that w/o praying and thinking about it thoroughly. and we've had sooo many others also call it a cult... its amazing. but i'm finally healing, i've met a few people that i'm building friendships with, i'm working on forgiveness, i'm becoming closer to my family and God. this entire situation has done nothing but good long term. i'm actually feeling good that we left. i feel free! granted i will never forget my best friend who left me cause she was told to. but i have a strong belief she and her mother will turn around eventually, i believe this church will no longer exist within 2-5 years anyway. but, i'm just doing so much better. but i, and my family, could still use you guy's prayers! lol. thanks all so much!
