Struggles with Anger

[Angeleyes7715]

Having a hard time with anger. This is mostly relating to feeling oppressed/ censored in this faith, especially on here. I can't even say what I really want to say...

how did you come to become a Christian in the first place?

 

[Angeleyes7715]

Probably the same way you did.

well, I kind of see things differently

yes, it is not easy to obey fully

but sinning is destructive, and ultimately God comes to set us from the bondage of sins

being bind to making sinful choices that hurt us and other is not freedom.

only through the work of the Spirit that we will change

if you not sure what that means, or you have never been filled with the Holy Spirit before, you should find a good Spirit filled church and talk to someone and sort that out.

sorry, i would be very happy to answer those questions for you, but at this point and still very much learning, so I dont think I would be the best person.

I am Spirit filled. I received it at age 14. I am 24 now. However, I just recently gave up everything. I did it once before, but did not stick with it. I write and I used to write popular fanfiction stories, but the characters cussed/ had sex etc. I used to have an advice blog, but I deleted it because I don't want to give Secular advice. I no longer read Secular books, don't watch secular movies, don't date none Christian men (which is basically like a sentence to singlehood forever). I realize Paul says, "All things are lawful,but not all are expedient." And I struggle to hear God/ feel like he's quiet without distractions, so i can't really any distractions, thus the reason why I feel frustrated and at the time I wrote that (angry) now it's more so I feel blah, like I don't have a personality anymore.

As far as church buildings are concerned (b/c tech. we are the church without tge building). I've tried several and I just recently left another one. Its the way the leadership treats people that usually gets to me. The Pastors or ministers end up yelling at folks and bossing them and getting prideful and making it about them and not God. The Spirit of God hit me when I was in a service praying and no one layed hands on me, God can move on his own. Then afterwards Pastors try to come up and push me down because they want to show off their anointing. That's why I end up leaving.

And second of all, I get bullied/ talked about bad in churches. And yes these are Spirit filled, tongue talking, get baptized, live holy churches. I just pray everyday and read my bible, but a community is missing.
I wish I could go back to a church but i haven't had good experiences with them.

You don't have to give up anything to be with God. If you enjoyed writing, blogging, etc., then you should continue with these as long as you remain faithful to God's word. May be you can continue these with a Christian perspective, instead of a secular one. You should not feel as if you have to cut out the things you enjoy to be with God. God wants you to be happy with what you have. God forgives too. If you make a mistake and sin, He forgives. However, if you knowingly think about committing a sin and still go head with the sin, then this is not right. From what I am reading from you, I think you should feel good about yourself, instead of thinking that God won't allow you to do certain things. God wants us to spread His message to all people, not just Christians. You should start writing, blogging, and giving advice again with a Christian stance. You are still young and have much to experience. Please don't feel that being Christian means you can't mingle with other non-Christians.

I wish I can offer you advice about church. I just found a new church myself. It is rather small like family. I chose it because it is Baptist, near my place, and because the pastor is young and charismatic. It is a bible-based church. Also, I did not want to go to a big church because I would not be able to talk that much to the pastor. I used to go to a big church and don't recall ever talking to the pastor directly.

If you want, please message me. I would be more than happy to receive messages from you.

check this out, some of the advice I have received might also be useful to you

. I feel my anger is hindering me. It leaves an imprint difficult to remove, when i don't know how to deal with it. Often times, I think i would eventually feel better realise im a slave to what other people think about me if i behaved that way. I tell myself i dont care what people think. i think i do care cause im oppressing myself. Suppressing my anger cause other people might find it inappropriate, what they would think of me with all that anger.
