Weird feelings

[franciscomontes]

Hi
So in march of this year i suddenly started feeling anxious about enjoying my hobbies(video games and anime).

I think it started out of nowhere to the point of me always feeling a heavy feeling in my tummy. This persisten feeling seemed to ask me to give up on these things i really enjoyed. I never felt like this so i thought it was God nudging me. I dont think i was placing these things above my duties às a teenager, so i begam questioning my feelings. It didnt seem to be any love, peace or kindness in them, only stress and other feelings that led to me not being able to be peacefull in school and in other activities like the gym. I came to a point where i started to believe this feeling wasnt god and those feelings disaoeared. Also during these times i did a lot of googling about the things God does and if this could be him and on religious ocd.

This feelings returned a week ago and im now quetioning if this really isnt God. I Saw people saying that sometimes this feelings can be The Holy Spirit nudging me but this feelings.were still weird. Im now questioning my self and my motives.
When i think to dismiss this the feelings become stromger wich leads me to think this is God.

Honestly, this isnt something i wanna do but then i remember that i should be willing to give up everything for God and that I will BE abusing his grace if even knowing its him i keep going. The problem is that i cant BE 100 sure that its God. This lead me to a TON of ruminating and questioning these feelings and toughts.
If anyone could help i would be so glad, thank yall and God bless

Why would God take away something you love. He wants to bless you, just as you are. He’s not giving you something else. If it was sinful I could believe it but it’s not. Be tough God wants to bless you.

Thank you for your reply.
The thing is that sometimes God takes things away even if they are not sinfull. Im trying to discover what my feelings mean. If anyone could help, thanks

Sorry i don't know too much about your hobbies but often the devil tries to slip in some negative spiritual stuff in all types of media, even seemingly innocent movies, fantasy games and perhaps anime. Since your peace is stolen you are correct to take notice and try to find the cure. The cure thus likely is to seek God for answers, study and look at the things you like and really see if the Lord is leading you away or leading you to something else. Sometimes it is just a time thing.
Ephesians 5:15-16 (NASB)
15 Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,
16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

In my own life I started out amazingly aggressive in the things of God. I hit some serious bumps in the road and I remember once during this time what my Pastor said to me. He simply asked what did I want? All i could think of was I told him I wanted to be normal. So for years i was basically normal, but knew there was something missing. Finally, I figured out that normal for a Christian based on current culture really does fall short of what one can really have and give from the Lord. Thankfully I chased "normal" away and started trying to be aggressive, which to me means involved and really letting go and letting God change one's life. Regardless if that speaks to you, seek the answers to getting that peace, and discerning those things that seem to block you from reaching more potential in God. I might add that you can still have fun and sometimes things like gaming are entirely innocent in moderation. God bless!

You can trust God to make you sure, and clear.

Confusion is not His communication, but it can mean we need to pray and be corrected so we are not confused. And God can make sure we get things right.

So . . . prayer for you. You can look in the Bible to see what God wants.

Thanks, this might actually be my head playing a trick on me

"God is not the author of confusion" (in 1 Corinthians 14:33)

So, we can trust God to make our minds clear and keep us clear.

"Where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there." (James 3:16)

So, from this I can see that if I am getting confused, then I could be seeking self somehow so I am not with God the way we can be.

And I have seen how certain people can isolate themselves, then be spinning because they do not have stability in sharing with God

*and with His people* >

God has things so we need to be sharing and caring with other children of God.
