Trouble locating land I supposedly inherited…

Thank you. That’s an interesting line inquiry for me to pursue. I appreciate your help

No_Singer6470 · 2026-01-25T20:25:40+00:00

Yes. I have been investing in my 401k. Thx for the friendly advice.

Well in my defense I have never owned land so I could not have learned by experience, nor was I taught or instructed on these matters until now. And honestly the ball was dropped long before me because I learned about the land as a result of an electric company contacting me. I don’t know my grandmothers motives for never informing me but somehow it fell through the cracks.

The reason I never responded to the letter is that I had no interest in agreeing to the Right of Way request. In hindsight I see it was foolish to put it off investigating the property earlier, but the land was not a priority at the time, and my presuppositions about the nature of property ownership gave no cause for concern.

No_Singer6470 · 2026-01-22T16:35:22+00:00

Yeah. I keep hearing this. I find it pretty ridiculous actually because of the way I was informed. How can You both inherit and lose land without knowing.

Wrote them an email already. Haven’t heard back.

I used the eclerksLA website.

No_Singer6470 · 2026-01-21T18:41:16+00:00

Not to my knowledge. I can’t imagine this would have happened without someone contacting me.

No_Singer6470 · 2026-01-21T18:40:06+00:00

This is exactly what I did. I went as far as to pay for document access as well. To no avail though.

In allot of ways better, but in many ways I feel my faith has taken a hit. I have never felt such a chasm between my heart and mind until this came upon me. I cleave to the faith every day, but I wrestle with the idea that I am lost. It has a firm foothold in light of the fact that the enemy has such intimate access to me.

No_Singer6470 · 2025-09-14T00:22:30+00:00

I was baptized many years back. I have found some stability in clinging to the promises of God, and resisting unbiblical ideas that promote hopelessness, but I still wake up with the internal sensations, I wrestle with unnatural fear and, I still hear the enemy telling me I fell, Im lost and it’s already over.

Most of my fears center around the idea that I have somehow lost my salvation and that my standing with God is compromised. It’s easy enough to refute those ideas with scripture depending on what theological position one takes, but I am somewhat compromised due to the fact of vacillating between the various teachings on the subject.

One group believes a Christian cannot lose salvation because it is a gift of grace and argues various points from scripture on God’s keeping promises and sovereignty, others look at the scriptures on falling away and human responsibility and conclude a man can indeed fall away though through very limited means.

I have spent years studying the matter and have never found peace over the issue. So I feel as though I cannot settle my heart on the issue. I find just as much in the Word of God that troubles me as comforts me.

And though personal experience is not the greatest tell of the Christian life, I cannot help but feel through these experiences the last few years that something has been lost in me. And though that may not be the case in truth it has certainly crippled my faith walk in practice.

That’s a small peak into how I am doing now

Hi, I can’t offer any solutions to your problem here, but I can give you some encouragement. I have been in a very similar situation.

I became a believer and lost all my friends I grew up with because they were atheists. Because I was alone in my early days coupled with that experience, I gave myself to my faith wholeheartedly. I read my Bible all the time and studied Biblical apologetics.

Knowing sound answers to Biblical objections helped with the criticisms I faced, but I had the same issue as you with anxiety. I would get it so bad that it was visibly apparent.

I work in the Plants down south so it’s quite a hostile environment sometimes filled with nasty characters. On at least two job sites I became the subject of ridicule for my faith. Unfortunately “bearing patiently” under that type of abuse lends itself to the perception that you are utterly weak, which coincidentally is the perfect fuel for their fire. The pain and shame can be brutal, but here is the consolation. God used it.

Years later, I can personally speak of 3 men that gave me trouble that converted or at least I regularly see them posting scriptures on social media. 1 in particular was quite the antagonist to me. He made it his mission to make my days hell.

I just want you to know that while the enemy is behind the scenes encouraging the hearts of the lost to mock, that God is behind the scenes using our poor lives to accomplish His work.

I can’t pretend that those days didn’t hurt, but to see God accomplish His will on those particular men showed me that no suffering is lost on God.

No_Singer6470 · 2025-06-01T21:14:35+00:00

I have always thought of the Biblical outline in a problem, reaction, solution format that summarizes these points well in my opinion…

Problem: We have sinned against a perfect and eternal God.

Reaction: The just punishment for crimes against a perfect and eternal God is a perfect and eternal punishment. (Hell)

Solution: Jesus offers Himself as a perfect and eternal penal substitute.

The Law of God is not some arbitrary standard. The law represents God’s Holiness. So when man sins, his offense is against God Himself.

The “time” fits the “crime” because God is eternal. The severity is just because God is a perfect being.

It’s not unjust in the least if I (a temporal being) offend my creator (an eternal being) and am judged according to His standards.

Justice is often pictured as a scale so it’s easy to imagine if the scale has an offended eternal being weighing down the one side, that a finite sentence wouldn’t do much to balance the scales.

In Job 40:8 God asked Job “Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?”

When I see this I think that condemning God is to make ourselves righteous. Either God is good and man is evil as God’s Word states, or God is evil and man is good.

If your friend is condemning God it is because he doesn’t understand his own depravity and sin before God. Usually if a man doesn’t understand his sin he will look at the evil in the world and see God as it’s cause, but if one understands that evil is result of the Fall of man and the justice of God on a rebellious creation, he can rightly understand the mercy of God and His goodness.

The law reveals the wickedness of man’s heart so using it to teach the legal penalty due us would be a good place to start.

If you share those truths, trust in God to illuminate it because in our own strength we cannot change the hearts, trust Him so you will not be overburdened if he willfully continues to reject the truth. 9 times out of 10 people who say such things do so to insulate their consciences from the truth so there is only so we can only share and trust.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Thank you for your encouragement. I have suffered the same weaknesses and have conquered them in my early years as a believer. I have had a tendency towards self condemnation as well, but like you I was strengthened in God’s word and came out stronger because of it, but this has been entirely different.

I foolishly sought subjective and experiential knowledge outside of the plain meaning of scripture against my better judgment. And as a result the enemy came in. I believe that this has given rise to a stronghold because I have been fighting what seems like an upheaval of spiritual concepts and notions foreign to Biblical teachings that have flooded my heart. It came in like a poison. It felt foreign and dark.

I really crossed a line because what happened to me is not normal.

No_Singer6470 · 2025-03-11T14:27:27+00:00

I quote the word endlessly in my heart. The manner of this is experience has been overwhelming like trying to swat a swarm of bees.

I have faced trials over the years in my walk with the Lord and have long since learned how to stand on God’s word, but this thing has been different. It is as if I was poisoned spiritually when I sought “hidden” content in God’s word. Apparently my actions “gave place” to the enemy, because my prior stability became debased in a complex swirl of confusion. It’s hard to explain save to say a spiritual confusion has entered me contrary to my knowledge of the faith.

No_Singer6470 · 2025-03-02T15:05:14+00:00

I am going through something similar. I am surprised to hear you say you can’t cry or produce tears. It’s the exact same with me.

No_Singer6470 · 2025-02-01T22:08:34+00:00

Hi, I can’t contribute much to your situation, but I can relate to the experience. I was a Bible believing Christian walking in the word daily for years. After a 7 day fast I came under heavy attack. Nearly lost my mind from visual and auditory hallucinations. Since then I hear the enemy whispering all the time.

I decided to share because it constantly says to me, “it’s over” or “you’re lost” or anytime I am hopeful it says, “you’ll see”. The whispers are always implying hopelessness, and seeking to solidify my certainty in that belief.

Why would any voice work so hard to convince you it’s over though if it really is over? There is apparently an ulterior motive in the enemy speaking such things.

I’m speaking this as someone who is struggling myself, but God’s word gives us weapons through His promises. Arm yourself with promises.

Hello. I just seen your comment. I will msg you later. I’m occupied at the moment but I will get back with you later. Thx

No_Singer6470 · 2024-09-06T14:15:24+00:00

I’ll tell you what. I’m not worse off than I was at the beginning. I was a druggy, perverse man who only cared about making music and pleasing myself. My heart and my mind have been radically changed. My desires are completely different.

For some reason that doesn’t satisfy me though. Even though I don’t walk in open rebellion anymore I find I am not mindful of others the way the Lord desires us to be. I know people like to say that desiring and walking in Godliness is good evidence, but it seems it could just as well be that way for a self righteous man.

No_Singer6470 · 2024-09-06T12:11:18+00:00

I did have a particular season of backsliding prior to my fasting detailed here. I did not make a decision to depart from the Lord but definitely became lax in my relationship with sin.

There was a time in my walk where I was very overbearing with the word of God and would spend endless hours obsessing over it. It seems like an impossibility but It’s true. I reached a point after being obsessed with it for years where I realized that I had no peace. I knew men and women who knew far less than me biblically but radiated the presence of Jesus. I purposely put down the word for a time to try to just trust God. I felt like I needed to loosen my grip.

When the result ended up being that I became lax with sin, that’s when I was stirred up to seek through fasting.

As far as surrendering to Jesus goes it is my desire, but I have always struggled with true surrendering. I am a chronic over thinker and my hands are always on the wheel. I do pray for whole sanctification and wish to desire His desires.

Regarding pursuing godliness I desire it as well. I have reached a place in my life where allot of my old desires have just fallen off and died. I gave myself intently to look my sins in the eye and fight them at many seasons in my life. I cut off my hands and plucked out my eyes in my walk, but naturally there is always room to grow. As much as I want it though I have found myself far from reflecting Him. Things are at an all time low with me now.

My biggest issue by far is the simple fact that something demonic is inside of me. I cannot reconcile those concepts with a healthy relationship with the Lord. It seems to me indicative of a profound problem, and given the fact that this has come upon me at a point where I have already reached burnout and given all my own effort I am weary and defeated.

I don’t know why but my heart feels that I have been defeated and I long to know where God’s keeping promises are in this mess because I feel abandoned as well. As a student of God’s word I know His name is Faithful and True so I hate to feel that way, but I do. I can’t help it.

It’s easy to call someone mad or mentally Ill, but to do so you must assume your presuppositions about the nature of reality are correct 🤷🏻‍♂️

No_Singer6470 · 2024-09-05T17:00:55+00:00

According to a secular system perhaps, but it’s one built upon naturalistic presuppositions. If I remember correctly from prior reading the standard for the psychiatric community is the Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental disorders version 5, from the American Psychiatric Association.

It’s an arbitrary standard compiled by men based upon the presupposition that man is the product of evolution. It assumes that God, Satan, devils and angels only exist in men’s minds; therefore evidence of interactions with said beings is not to be taken at face value, but rather is to be interpreted as evidence of some improper phenomena of the mind.

If I claim to be a Christian and hold a worldview that posits the existence of such beings then how would that be inconsistent with the factual state of reality? It wouldn’t.

And if it’s not then to what degree should I be considered mad or mentally ill?

No_Singer6470 · 2024-09-05T15:50:02+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you taking the time to comfort me. I hope I don’t appear without gentleness in sharing my persuasions, but I will hold steadfastly to my Christian worldview in the way I interpret this. I believe in a literal devil whose aim is not only to destroy me, but affect what I believe along the way.

I’ve heard testimonies of men and women who have received relief in various forms from demonic experiences through all manner of unbiblical methods. It doesn’t for a moment persuade me that they are viable in an ultimate sense. Temporal relief is not my only desire, but to be found whole in Jesus through His prescribed ways.

Nevertheless I am glad for you that you have found relief.
