That's good to hear, notmyown!

The best way to deal with loneliness is to use it to draw closer to the Lord. Plowing through depressed emotions, though, is tough I know. Praise the Father for His unfailing love!

:emot-fail:I've been living in the same area for my entire life. I've never really been popular, but I've usually had at least one or two true friends growing up. Well now that I'm 19 and out in the "real world," I'm beginning to slip back into a depression. I've been attending a church for four years now, but I still dont have any friends there. I know a lot of the people, but we arent close. I've gone to the social events and tried to make friends, but it seems like they all fade back into the same whir of the hive. Recently there was a church split and quite a few of the leaders left. We got a new youth pastor and I thought that would help the situation. My little sister was really good friends with not only him, but his entire family. It seems like the new youth pastor has been a disaster, at least to my family. When we try to strike up a conversations, we are repeatedly ignored. People are gossiping about us leaving the church because we haven't been attending regularly because my grandmother has been having severe health issues. I lead 3 and 4 year old Sunday School for the second service, so I have to attend on a regular basis. When I go, very few people ask how my family has been and tell me to let my mom know that they miss her. No one has called or emailed yet many have this contact info. Is it just me, or is this abnormal? I feel like no one there cares. I went this morning and it was like I was invisible to the people there. Since it seems like this has been going on all my life, I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with me? My family and I have no close friends. We could disappear and no one would really notice. Is this normal? I'm just bummed I guess... :emot-fail:

Hmmmm.......

Discernment is needed here. Has any mod checked this ip address?

Heb 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

Maybe it's just me, but I do have a little "discernment", and I think it would be wise to wait for the next, if any post here.

It seems to me Fez that she may have been going to more than just the second service before, and because of the church split, they may suspect she is about to leave.

notmy own22, you will always have friends here at Worthy. We are more than happy to talk with you and have fellowship. We are actually more than friends, we are family in Christ Jesus. :wub:

Thats the way to tell em Son!.... :huh:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
