Most forget that God allows all things to happen. He does so I believe to train us and purge us so that we learn to become totally dependent on him in times of trial, to let him do the fighting for us, as it is written: the battle belongs to the Lord.

After a while of no one knowing what I was talking about...ya'll sure make me feel a little bit more sane lol. Although I do wish Satan would BACK OFF. He seems to draw near to me when I am closest to God as well, but he gets on my nerves. I feel like how can I serve the Lord If he's always there. Maybe it has something to do with going into the ministry...I have horrid dreams, and freaky realities, and hear voices and see shadows....thought I was losing my mind. Satan seems to enjoy toying with me... any way, please pray for me. It is tough, always having him there to try and bring me down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ChosenOne Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Amen to your post....I do not doubt Him or what he has done...an example of one of those things I go through in the mind....the Noah complex...not feeling like I ever get anything done for God...etc...like nobody is hearing what I just preached..etc..or like the devil trying to trip me up in my walk... Blood Stained Soul............Thank you for this post. Excuse me while I praise God for not being the only one to feel this way. I have felt so alone in this battle. Yes, I am in the ministry............and it is after preaching that the enemy hits me the hardest. Blood Stained............I used to be so excited about being called into the ministry...........I have always had a desire to work for the Lord and to be used in the ministry...............I have been preaching for almost four years and now it's to the point that if I didn't fear the judgement of God for disobedience then I would quit preaching....................I am ashamed to admit that. Is it a sin to feel that way? I pray it's not. I don't like feeling this way. But knowing that I am not the only one to feel this way gives me courage to keep fighting this battle. Once again thanks for the post........... God bless. ChosenOne Cheri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not alone as you've seen from these posts. You will never be totally free from Satan's wiles until you are back home with our Lord and Savior. Until then, just know that whatever you're experiencing is not abnormal. It is common to all true Christians. If Satan ain't bothering you're doing something wrong. And yes, I will and have prayed for you, dear sister. Luv Yuh, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowliest form of servants. A member of my staff told me about it. Read a sermon about it one time...can find the link to it online if you want to check it out.

Guest Bride of Christ Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I too deal with this. Bad thoughts....always thinking something is going wrong when nothing really is....the feeling of worthlessness.....low self esteem....all in my mind.... Hubby tries to help...but it's hard for him cuz I don't express what I'm going through well....so I get frustrated and bottle it all up until one day, we talk and I let it all out.... It's a real tough part of my walk.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
