Prayer Request - Left church

(1/4) > >>

keys2heaven:
Hi all. For some time now, I have been reading Ray's teachings. Since day one of reading,I felt pricked in my heart that there has to be more to being a Christian than just all of the doctrine that most churches want to you be in lockstep with. The church I attend has gone through some major changes just within the last couple of weeks and has me questioning whether or not we truly adhere to God's word in times of crisis. I won't go into detail, but suffice it to say that it is has been hard on many people.

For me, it was just one more thing that I felt God was revealing to me in order to start pulling back. So, I wrote our senior Pastor and announced that I was withdrawing my membership from the Church. I just want to be known as a Christian, not a Nazarene, Methodist, Baptist, etc...

Since doing this, I've already started to feel the "brotherly love" from the rest of the congregation. One individual has expressed their disappointment, but understands. I sure hope that I don't get the cold shoulder because I'm not "one of them" anymore.

My wife at this time hasn't felt the need to withdraw, but she's not happy either.

I would just like to ask for prayer that God will put us where we need to be.

I have seen my wife struggle as she begins to question her church, I did not have a problem whatsoever with leaving, I actually never felt like I belonged in the first place, but that is a whole other story.

You and your wife are in my prayers as the Lord leads you through this, may your eyes and ears be open to Him as your knowledge and understanding is sure to increase.

His Peace and Wisdom to you Brother,

Joe

i believe your prayer request should be for God to put you where you need to be. 1 Corinthians 7:15 - But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

Matthew 19:5 - And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Mark 10:9 - What therefore God hath joined together (THROUGH THE WORD CHRIST), let not man put asunder.

Matthew 19:29 - And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.


IN HIS LOVE,


Bradford

I believe that God has got you exactly where He wants you....
....that He is dragging you out!

It is a process!

Praise and thank God!

Peace and His comfort and Grace be to you
