I trigger spiritual warfare, now what?

Shabbat shalom, ohso.

I'm just another voice to hear (read), but it's been my experience that you just need to focus on your relationship with God your Heavenly Father. When you feel like you can't take it anymore, whether that be from unbelievers or from those who claim to be Christian believers, just curl up in your Father's lap and relax in His love. Let Him embrace you and go to sleep in His arms. ....

When you wake up, you'll be more ready to face the challenges of the day as you rest in the memory of His love for you. Work relaxed, and pray constantly (and, I don't mean close your eyes to pray); you can talk to God ANYTIME with eyes wide open. Just keep Him included in all you do throughout the day. (He already is, but it helps YOU to see that He's still there, RIGHT THERE, when you need Him most.) When you meet with challenges (not "problems"), ask Him for His wisdom and use what you have been reading in the Scriptures for His answers. You may be a bit surprised by how well they fit with your daily dilemmas.

You've heard this before, but God's laws are simple:

Luke 10: (KJV)

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him ("Jesus" or Yeshua`), saying,

"Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26 He said unto him,

"What is written in the law? how readest thou?"

27 And he answering said,

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."

28 And he said unto him,

"Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."

The thing to realize, however, is that one must first "love himself " before he can adequately "love his neighbor." This is not hard initially, because we all initially love ourselves and live for ourselves as self-preserving created beings, but then life kicks in and we soon grow to see ourselves as others might impose upon us. Go curl up in your Father's lap again, and learn to see yourself as GOD sees you: a worthy child of His for whom He was willing to send His Son, Yeshua` His Messiah, to die in your place. For whatever His reasons may be, GOD LOVES YOU and believes you to be worth His Son's death to preserve you alive forever. And, whatever God says is true, is the absolute truth! Keep it simple, and don't blow it out of proportion.

As you learn to love yourself as God loves you, then you'll be ready to "love your neighbor AS yourself." Again, trust God for His timing. We all have different levels of hurt and wounding in our lives, and it will take as long as GOD says it will take for those wounds to be healed.

Excellent truth! Thank you. Shalom.

Relationship is the key to all understanding truth.

I am pretty much new believer in Jesus and I've tried to talk to God about this and look into the Bible, but I'm still left very confused and don't know what's the best way to act. 

Majority of new people I meet in my life seem like nice and moral, but when I get to know them better, I find out they do not follow Jesus and to be worse, are involved in some sort of witchcraft. It can be that they are in some new age practices, or they listen to Satanic music and so on. 

I feel horrible that our differences in faith are the only reason I feel like I might need to remove myself from such acquaintances. I try to evangelize to them politely and respectfully. That always gets me in trouble. Either an argument will start, or I will have demonic dreams and so on. 

When I first got saved I really wanted to be used by God and do something for His Kingdom. Now when it seems it's starting to finally happen, I feel like I don't want it anymore, because it makes me feel bad. I see no positive results neither in others, nor myself. 

So I prayed differently, for God to bring me Christians in my life, because I don't want to deal with darkness anymore, it's just too hard for me. But then I realized I got involved in religion and find myself in the middle of arguments between denominations, which I didn't like and decided to leave that too.

How do you balance these things? I don't want to isolate myself as a Christian from the world. On the other hand, it really brings me down when I deal with the people who are not saved. I really don't know what is the right thing to do? Thank you. God bless. 

Work on spiritual growth, as you spiritually grow you will be able to stand in the presence of evildoers, but remember that you need to be the light in the darkness.
