What's goin on with me?!

Vheissu:
I feel somewhat lost right now. When I first came upon bible truths, I was stoked about what I discovered, and I felt so full of life and energy, and than slowly it started fading. I wasn't coming here every single day to read something new and exciting, or be amazed by a new revelation. I feel weak. When I pray at night, it trails off into thoughts, and soon I find myself asleep without finishing my prayer, and I feel like I'm praying wrong. Like I'm missing something. Than lately I've felt like I've been under spiritual attack. Waking up at the alleged demon witching hour (3:00 AM), and feeling in danger, or like something is in my room. Is this a test? I have no idea what to do, and I'm trying to find my way back...Has anyone else ever felt this way? Please help me brothers and sisters, I feel like I'm losing a fight...I'm gonna re-read Ray's articles, perhaps it will help.

God Bless,
Daniel

hi Daniel,

i didn't want to respond but let me say this, i felt or still feel like that sometimes and thought i should share what do i do when i feel like that.1. i dont pray(at least not formal with my knees) at all cos i know i will get bored-  instead i talk a prayer e.g whilst brushing my teeth and looking myself in the mirror. 2. I stay away from readin or listening to bible verses for a while, 3 i listen to music according to what i feel like and i dont feel guilty at all. 4 i spend most of the time alone doing some soul searching. AM NOT SAYING DO LIKE I DO but rather sharing my remedy.

remember this: that is a phase and it will pass. a person never feels like that for long. i hope God provides comfort and U suddently feel him next to U. U probably overdone urself in searching for the bible truth. take it easy cos Satan is probably using that very truth and turning it upside down and creating confusion in ur head. be less formal with God and know that God is Love.

 1 Peter 4
12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.


It sounds like you are having anxiety Daniel. Sometimes when we have free floating anxiety we project it onto something that we fear. Feeling that there is something in your room or the feeling of danger are all symptoms of anxiety. I've never been able to learn truth without anxiety. The truth works itself into me and works the carnal out of me and that process produces anxiety. I also have some very fiery trials that go along with it. God works it all together to accomplish his work in me. I also go through spiritual attack in the process. God is in control of that too. We have nothing to fear. The spiritual attacks end up to be nothing more than lies. I've learned not to listen to the lies and walk forward with faith most of the time. There are times I wrestle with it though when the truth knocks me off my sandy foundation.

No matter what happens God always wins.

Romans 8

35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hello Daniel,

I had a similiar experience shortly before the Conference, for about 2 weeks I seemed to be (spiritually) spiralling downhill. Old temptations were coming out of nowhere, I would not physically submit to them but the mere thought knotted my gut and soured my mood.

Things that I was not particularly proud of, sins from the past, the people I had hurt, these memories came back with a vengeance, not in faded tones of gray but in 3D Living Color.

Also, reading, praying, the things that will normally restore my spirit in times of tribulation did not seem to be working at all, even the scripture telling me not "to think it a strange thing to go through trials and tribulations" did not seem to hit home, I felt like I was on the outside looking in.

I talked with a few brethren about this and one told me that these type of continued assaults are from the adversary and when it happens you need to rebuke the devil in His name and trust that He will restore you. Continually pray, not just at certain times of the day (or night) but as you live your day. Talk with Him silently through your tasks like your very best friend is at your side.

Here is what Ray wrote about praying, it may be a help to you.

Hi Daniel,

I've been going through these same feeling as you for quite a few months (or more, I lost track). I've been through similar experiences in the past but not to this degree or duration. I feel like I'm walking right on the edge of what I can endure almost ready to complete fall off the edge and perish. I've even had thoughts lately of suicide. I'm in a place where I can't see hope or light. I keep hoping and praying for releif soon and a breakthrough but it hasn't shown any sign of happening yet. When I try and talk to God my words just fall to the floor. I feel He isn't hearing me or ignoring me. I'm helpless and hurt and broken. I don't know what the answer is. Maybe it has something to do with "judgement begining at the house of God." 

Maybe if I pray for you and you pray for me we'll both get an answer?

Just wanted you to know that you're not alone. I wish I could help you but I can't even help myself right now.

Andy
