Need clarity

[cloudsbegone]

I’m trying to see my way out of the enemy’s grip over my life. From very early in life I’ve been under a spirit of rejection. I’m seeing more and more how this has negatively affected my thinking and my whole life. So much so, that I can’t form friendships anymore. I can barely handle getting out in the world just to exist. Going to the grocery store leaves me dealing with severe physical and emotional stress! I can’t afford counseling, and feel I need more Christians on board praying for me. I am in God’s Word every day, but I am unable to be brave enough to attend a church. EVERY effort I make to form new relationships ALWAYS fails, and leaves me worse off for trying! I’m beside myself trying to understand why God isn’t intervening in my life. I pray and ask for help, but as of yet, nothing.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon Thee because He trusteth in Thee
Isaiah 26:3

Greetings @cloudsbegone

I suspect when these anxieties become overwhelming you understandably slip further down into negativity....and then that sneaky thief of your joy and peace, the devil, starts to have a field day with your emotions.

Take hold of the Bible verse in Isaiah 26:3 posted here and claim it for yourself.

Thou wilt........Not Thou might

Thou wilt keep Him in perfect peace......Not partial peace, not anxiety.

Thou wilt keep Him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon Thee.......Keep focussed on the Lord when anxieties come. Give thanks, sing a song of praise, rejoice.

Dear cloudsbegone....the joy of the Lord is your strength. Praise the Lord and in doing so cast away the devil and all your anxieties.

I will pray for you

May God Bless You.

If i may speak,
In my own life , the Lord has me walking a rough road. I have had a vision of it . A path not used much , broken rocks and glass , big logs across the path and so on. Its plainly a tough go. The Lord has told me i would be rejected by many . All of this is preparation for what is to come .

I know how frustrating it can be . God wants you to put all your trust and all your faith in one basket, and that basket is Jesus .

Peace , brother

yes

I’m trying to see my way out of the enemy’s grip over my life.

try to see it God's way. And perhaps ask Him who or what told you that the enemy had a grip over your life? I do not believe it was the LORD and if that is so, one must start deciding Who they will believe, taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, in Who is our life hid.
Seek the Lord and you will find Him. Wait upon the Lord and be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart


Bless you ....><>

Hi Clouds, pooh I'm really sorry to read about your situation. Poor you. I've said in other posts that sometimes I think we credit Satan with more power than he actually has. Yes if we were to meet him face to face we might shudder and if we were to go against him on our own we wouldn't stand a chance, but we're not on our own, we have surrounding us and filling us God who to his great frustration, Satan is totally impotent against. He's been in a battle for survival and because of Jesus's death and resurrection, he's already lost it. So whilst it's not beneath Satan to use your problem against you, he can't be credited or blamed for causing it. You are under God's protection.

Now I'm no psychotherapist but from your post I would strongly suspect that you're suffering from acrophobia which is a mental health issue rather than an attack from Satan. Can you not go to a doctor and ask to get referred for a check up? If you look it up on Google there's lots of information there. From what I read it's a condition that's quite treatable with antidepressants and a few sessions of psychotherapy. I know money is tight but it would be worth trying to find the money because treatment is quicker and more effective the sooner it starts.

Yes of course this is something that you must bring to God in prayer. He can give you the peace of mind that you desire but it's a bit chicken and egg, you need to exercise faith and believe and then ask for healing. God wants to work a miracle in your life and heal you, He hates seeing you trapped in your house like this, especially when He sent His son to die on the cross in order to free you.

Once you've got this problem under control H(Ì

======================

Oooh Father Lord God, I do pray for Clouds. I pray Lord for healing in his/her mind, replace anguish with calm, enter and give lots of blessings through the working of your Holy Spirit. We thank you Lord that we are in your care at all times. We need not worry about anybody harming us. Dear Lord, we pray Lord that very soon one Sunday, Louds will find courage to get out to worship you with brothers and sisters.

We pray load for a very special blessing through your Holy Spirit working in the life of Clouds.

Amen.
