tedious

[cherokeehippie]

Hi everyone, I don't know how to explain my struggle---but the Spirit can tell you what I need. I'm struggling over where I'm suppose to be right now. What Abba's Will is for me right now. I find myself constantly isolated from other people in some way or another--I have christians who hate me(yes, and it's really a bummer) and of course I feel the heat from those who don't know the LORD. I find myself alone a lot because I'm different--especially in the town I live in now. (either that or I just feel the hostility in the spirit realm) At times, I think, Lord, when is there going to be a change? I feel boxed in. Sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with me---especially since I've backed off from much interaction with my family--who don't know the LORD. It's a struggle having to deal with 'stuff'. I'm real sensitive in the spirit realm and can sense oppressive spirits on others--I find myself having to keep away from that, and prefer being around my kitties and be in nature, and make pine needle baskets, etc, instead. When ever I do get to be around people, immediately, even if they don't know me from Adam, they react to me unfriendlylike--it's as if the spirits on them see that I belong to the LORD and I can feel them wanting to hurry and get away from me or not want to hang out long with me. Sometimes I think that maybe the Lord just wants me all to Himself for some reason. I don't know how to explain all of this but anyway, need prayer and help. Lara

Another thing, is that I find much socializing unless with certain people, very tedious and I have to get away.

Why do you feel everyone other than you is controlled by spirits? Do you possibably analyze situations too indepth? Take a step back, observe the world, observe humanity in all of its greatness...it's flaws, strengths and just live. Do you maybe judge others? Take an unbiased personal check and realize that maybe by your judging, you're paranoid of others judging you. Do you think that you, or anyone else, will ever know God's will concerning you? No. Just live life as it's delivered, cause simply, that is all you can do. Live out God's will, his main motive is love, live your life in love and harmony with everything you come across, even if you personally dislike it. See what happens.

In Love,
Nate

I have heard reports from my friends that have traveled much, that some towns and groups of people are like you have described, and are possibly influenced by some kind of bad spiritual principality or power particular to that area, as the Bible speaks of. Praying and asking the Lord how to pray may help some, and then binding in Jesus' name, as is our right to do as Christians. Do you have at least one friend at Church, as having a partner in prayer is helpful with two coming together in His name is a more poweful way to pray in such cases? Surely there would be at least one person you would have something in common with in the Lord......

Maybe joining a charitable organization in the community would help. I used to go with a group of people to nursing homes and visit the elderly people that had little or no family, and made some close friends.

No, it isn't being judgmental of people to acknowledge pricipalities and powers in high places. Read the scriptures about putting on the whole armour of God, as it does sound like you are in a spirtual battle and pray them over yourself, claiming them for yourself.

Ephesians 6:12 For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms. 13 Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared.* 16 In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan.* 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere.

Lara, I would definately seek god on the issue of Him wanting you all to himself. I have been led by God to isolate myself for the last 3 years, and it has been the most spiritually awakening time of my life.

God is everything to me now, we are closer now than I have ever been with him. I am totally found in Him and secure in Him.
And He has shown me who I really am.

Of course I had to battle with doubt about isolating myself and many people told me how wrong it is to do that.
even when i showed them examples of other people in scripture being led by God to withdraw for a season, they still couldn't see it.

As for the tediousness of socialising...LOL...I know how you feel.

You may find that God is calling you to withdraw for a season because He wants to do something deeply personal and intimate with you.
If you know His voice and you trust Him, and you know your heart is for Him and you desire to follow Him, then be led out into the wilderness and allow God to do with you as He desires.

If God wants to spend intimate quality time with just you, without any distractions or influences, then that is a wonderful thing.
God is about to do something wonderful with you and for you.

Just make sure it is Him who is calling you and you are not running from your hassles. You will know, because you will have peace in your heart.
