Need help to Understand

[praisegod]

Hello

I started back to church in March of this year. I believe that God is with me all the time. But why can"t I hear what he is saying back to me. My gutt tells me things that are right and wrong. But I am now questioning if it is God making me feel this way.

The other thing is the church that I'm going to I'm finding hard to be there now. I feel like I am being judged my some of the Jr. Pastors now. I have gone through the Bondage Breaker and I worked real hard to do all with them. I feel so much better about all the strong holds that I had. But there are some things going on in my life right now that aren't okay. They give me the impression that they just don't want to hear it. I didn't think that they would be this judgemental about this.

As a new Christian I wonder were all these feelings are coming from at times. And I am very shy when it comes to just going up to people and  talking to them. I just don't know what to do at this point. I pray for guidance and I'm just not hearing what to do.

Thanks for any help with this.

i am sorry to hear that but i am also shy but sometimes you just got to get over the shyness if it creates a barrier between you and god. i have gut instincts all the time. and i know their god's instincts. sometimes i get a feeling that i need to call someone and a few times thats been the truth.
as for people judging you, i felt that sometimes but it's church they dont judge and if some do think badly or differently of you why care because you know god loves you, some people are gonna not like you some are gonna love you but the important thing is god loves you and he's the only person that matters. god bless!

How is it that you feel judged? Are they saying things that you feel are judgmental?

forgive me for being dense, but what is the "Bondage breaker" that you went through?

i'm praying.

Blessed-one you aren't being dnese. The Bondage Breaker is a book by Neil T. Anderson. It was a great book and I also worked through it with counselor Pastor at my church. It is about overcoming negitive thoughts, irrational feelings and habitual sins. As a new Christain it was great to go through and it helped me to get closer to God. I still refer back to it at times. Thanks for your prayers.

Hello psycmajor

I have tried to talk with one of the Pastors at the church I attened, and he tells me that if I am walking with God then I would walk away from my furture husband. I feel like he doesn't hear what I'm saying and that he doesn't want to either. I will never walk away from him (furture husband) I Love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him.

thanks

thanks praisegod.

I have gone through the Bondage Breaker and I worked real hard to do all with them. I feel so much better about all the strong holds that I had.

just a word of caution, that you don't get yourself tangled up because you reckon you haven't done enough, haven't gotten rid of many negative thoughts, etc. I said this coz i got the impression that you're trying very hard at it, well, but maybe it's not that way as i haven't read the book yet.

As for Christians being judgemental, we're not supposed to act that way according to the teaching in the bible. um, so howcome they're reacting this way? is it because your future husband is not a Christian?

We all have questions, whether we are new in our conversion or we have been a christian for years. I am concerned when you say you feel like the youth pastor is judging you, why do you feel this way? Setting all the shyness aside, have you told this pastor how you feel. You can do it in a way that does not come across as you being too judgemental on the pastor. If you just absolutely can not do this, how bout others in your youth group, are you finding help there. We are suppose to grow spiritially and if you feel like there are those within your own church who are hindering you, have you considered seeking out another church? Seek God and His Kingdom first then ask Him to guide you where He wants you to be. He knows better than anyone what you are feeling and He has left with you His Holy Spirit to help you. You may not hear audible words coming from Him, but that does not mean He is not trying to communicate with you. Learning to listen to our own conscience goes a long way.
