I really need help sorting this out.. yesterday I was leaving for work and I noticed a man in a car backing up into the handicap parking spot near my apt..  i felt like I needed to watch him for some reason it felt off... and it seemed like he was watching me also but from a small distance ( maybe just a feeling) then he drove his car and parked by the mailbox instead. I didn't see him get out as I was still driving to get out of the gate. I was driving on the street and noticed his car was still by the mailbox..my apt is on the 2nd story and also on the corner so I can see everything from the street. As I was driving I seen him running up my stairs so I did a uturn and went back to my apt. He and his vehicle were gone though I never seen him drive out of the gate.
The reason why this bothers me so much is because my manager changed my schedule for yesterday a couple days ago and the only ones who knew about it was my boss and my boyfriend. Who was at my apt sleeping at the time. He has had alot of spiritual issues since day 1 of being with me he has been delivered from what I thought everything... but because there was alot of issues I have been very wounded by him and am trying to heal. One of the issues was being confused about sexual preference.. though he said he has never been with a man in his life bit has thought about it. He's told me many things and I just prayed him through.. he hasn't said any of that for over a year but this happened. He told me that the guy was not there for him and that he was asleep.  But I am very uncomfortable with it right now.... he has changed quite a bit for the better and he prays and reads the bible with me every night...  We live 4 hours from eachother but he was visiting this weekend as he does often.. he is not social and doesn't have friends that he hangs out with here or where he lives but that guy seemed like he knew who I was and my schedule.  Am I just wounded and paranoid? Please help me

If you are concerned for your safety, fit better quality locks to your front door, if the landlord will permit it a better quality door as week and CCTV that monitors your front door and the inside of your apartment.

Talk to your police about home security, or a firm dealing with security.

 

The bit about the change to your hours is confusing, your manager, your boss and your boyfriend knew, but you didn't.

How is that possible?

 

Then there is the issue of your boyfriend.

Is the a hetrosexual arrangements or something else?

 

Either way why is he staying with you?

The basic rule in Christianity is no sex untill marriage, and that included not giving the appearance of sleeping together.

 

If you want to help this ' boyfriend ' get him to start attending a good church every Sunday, if visiting you he attends church with you.

Check out the christianityexplained web site for churches in both your areas.

I am not trying to oppress you, but your post does leave me with the impression that the two of you are not just cohabiting once in a while but also in bed together before marriage, and you are going through the emotional roller coaster of a relationship with him because you feel sorry for him. This hurts your witness to each other because both of you are doing exactly what scripture tells us not to do. Without him having to wait till after marriage, he may feel he has little incentive to be sincerely committed to the relationship when he can test drive now.

The lack of unconditional commitment and dedication to the relationship leaves you feeling vulnerable and changes everything about the dynamics of the relationship. And his commitment and respect for you has been absent from the very beginning of your relationship with him, or he would not be entertaining thoughts of being romantically involved with others. And there will always be doubt about his sincerity in the back of your mind from him and lack of trust.  A man that truly loves you, and respects you.... will be more than willing wait till after he says “I do”

As it turns out, older generations weren’t trying to oppress us by telling us not to live together before marriage .... they were trying to protect us. Saving shared living space for after marriage allows us to be sure we picked the right man or woman and that we’re actually committed to one other, not just there out of ease or convenience.

If you two are not married, there should really be no overnight visiting at all. It just invites sin by making temptation run rampant.

You both need to find a good, Bible-teaching church to attend each week, to get connected with Christians who can help you both grow and mature.

I will pray for you both!

    • 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.”

    • 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.
