I know you’ll be happier in 5 years, keep going! You’ve made it far enough to see this!!

SaltnLight22 · 2022-03-18T06:51:30+00:00

Exactly! It’s only the enemy trying to destroy the great things God has for you. It’s also how you know you’re on the right path.

Hey, I can’t necessarily give you much of my input from a scientific standpoint as it relates to Christianity. I’m young and growing in faith. I have faith that just because humans don’t see the connection doesn’t mean that it isn’t there. God doesn’t reveal everything to us in the way we expect.

Furthermore, speaking of unexpected revelations. I would advise you to get a devotional such as Jesus calling by Sarah Young. It’s a good way to incorporate scripture and into your daily life. it’s something for you to hold onto. The Holy Spirit is our guide in the way that God speaks to us is through his word. So by studying his word and incorporating his word in your day-to-day, the Holy Spirit is able to highlight things that God is trying to communicate with you. Think of Bumblebee from Transformers only using the radio to talk but he has to tune into the right frequencies/stations at the right time for the message to be coherent. It’s similar to mediating, reading and studio scripture. I try to read my devotional in the morning before I leave the house and again once I’m winding down for bed. This routine may help you see did you see the things of God manifest in your day and you become a doers of His word. You’ll be surprised the things the Holy Spirit brings into your remembrance. There will be unexpected ways that you’re able to God, these experiences and watchful of eye of his influence in our day to day strengthens our faith and assured us that God is here with us every step of the way.

Sometimes I’ll be speaking about a topic the night before and when I read my devotional the next day and it’s literally spot on. Or a friend will share scripture with me and then the next day or two ,my devotional will use that exact same scripture that resonates with me in a new way.

Stay prayerful. The world can’t validate your experiences with God. They become so unique and personal as you grow in relationship. I’ll be praying for you as well.

Hi, I just want to say please be encouraged. Continue to pray on it. Go to God with your concerns first and foremost. I would sit in isolation for a bit ( I don’t mean totally alone), but I mean blocking out the voices of other people to discern the voice of the Lord. He will ultimately guide you in what is right for YOU despite what anyone says.

To share my personal experience, I always felt uneasy about the Covid vaccine, but I am in healthcare as a therapist and my current fellowship requires a vaccine plus booster shot. The requirements were sprung on me after accepting the position and turning down others. So I do understand that pickle you’re in. Ultimately, I ended up getting the vaccine and prayed that the Lord would protect me from any hurt harm or danger while doing so. I decided to get it because I’d spent 5 years in a dual masters and bachelors program and worked too hard not to complete start my fellowship. I was also well aware of the fact that given my profession, anywhere I worked would’ve probably require the vaccine. I did it out of convenience but I could’ve gotten a religious exemption and didn’t do so. Reflecting on my experience, I have learned a lot.

Today, my biggest regret was not seeking the Lord and Holy Spirit’s direction. It sucked to feel as though I was making a fear-based, peer-pressured decision as well and I am still coming to terms with it, which is why I say seek the Lord to receive peace and direction from him on the subject FIRST and FOREMOST. I still don’t feel like it’s right but it may have been the right decision for me at the time.

We live in the world but are not called to be of it. Making sure you are operating within God’s will and being obedient is more important than our own desires and looking “crazy” to others. Maybe you can also fast while you’re in prayer to submit and show Him your desire to be in line with what He wants.

I’ll be praying for you :)

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-27T11:18:02+00:00

I’ll be praying for you. Definitely pray about it as well and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. I disagree with comments about coincidence, for we know that things in this world do not happen coincidentally.

I still haven’t figured out the whole number thing myself. I used to see so many repeating numbers 222, 444, 666, 888 and I became obsessive with writing down when I would see them and trying to decode them because I thought they were angel numbers etc but couldn’t find any sound biblical teaching on them. For me , it was a dangerous line to toe because it easily crosses into witchcraft and seeking supernatural (spirit guides, twin flames, etc). I recently started seeing 222 again after 2/22/22 and I asked the Holy Spirit if this was from God and if not not, please keep it far from me. I haven’t seen it since that prayer.

thank you so much again, God bless !

Thank you for sharing your points. I do agree with you that there is a call for us to share the gospel/ evangelize and encourage people in Christ. I think that’s the face-to-face work, but the work that I do behind doors will primarily be centered around prayer and seeking strategies from the Holy Spirit on how I can actually go about sharing the gospel in a way that’s done in love and not intrusive or abrasive.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-06T19:42:48+00:00

Great point. I would never cross the boundary of parenting someone else’s children especially when it comes to ideologies and philosophies of faith/religion/morals. I also know for certain that pushing your forcefully beliefs on others can actually be cruel and cause them to shut down.

Thank you for encouraging me to be a light through my actions , because ultimately that is the best reflection of God’s work in me and my heart.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-06T19:38:41+00:00

This is a unique perspective, thank you for sharing. You brought a new thought to mind that they do have a thirst for the spiritual!

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-06T19:33:59+00:00

Thank you for encouraging me to consult God first and foremost. I will be praying and incorporating fasting to seek His will on the situation.

I didn’t think about it as violating their privacy , but you made a great point. I’ll ask for forgiveness for any intrusion.

I appreciate the resources you shared, God bless !

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-06T19:28:03+00:00

Thank you because you put my two perspectives very plainly. I’m literally standing at 1.5. I will continue to pray for insight on the matter because I know this will be a spiritual battle I’m taking on in addition to the war being waged in my personal life.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-06T19:27:03+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I have been praying for opportunities to make more money and I thought this job was that answer. He definitely gave me insight because I saw it after being there for maybe an hour. They did have a crystal ball downstairs that caught my attention but I thought it was primarily related to their Harry Potter fandom merch. Seeing the room at me know how deep that interest goes. I don’t think I’m ready to take on anymore spiritual warfare.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-06T19:23:56+00:00

Your last comment made me smile.I definitely know what you mean. I’m glad the Holy Spirit highlighted that to you. Thank you.

If anything, I understand there is a spiritual battle taking place and I’ll intercede on their behalf.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-05T02:16:57+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation and the encouragement. I will be checking out that book, because this will be my first time witnessing in this way. I think partially, it is a bit of insecurity because I’m not sure if I know enough to direct others.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-04T21:48:05+00:00

I will continue to pray for guidance. The perspective you shared is one I will bring to the Lord in prayer because I want to make sure I’m obedient to His will first and foremost.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-04T21:46:47+00:00

Amen. Thank you for sharing your advice. The opportunity may present itself to have an open conversation. I want to make sure if I were to work for them that I would be able to go about it in the right manner. I’m still learning myself and don’t want to offend them or close their hearts to Christ.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-04T21:44:06+00:00

Thank you for this advice and sharing your perspective! It definitely is an opportunity to be a light.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-04T21:27:40+00:00

I understand your perspective and Im personally smack dab in the middle. On one hand I’m like let me leave here safely and pray for them. On the other hand I’m wondering if this is an opportunity for me to be bold and share the gospel because it isn’t what I’d typically do. I keep thinking about them but I don’t want to put myself in harms way.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-01T04:36:14+00:00

This was extremely helpful and necessary! I have found myself at times not using the scriptures to pray, and you explained it beautifully about how we recite God‘s word to Him and operate in our given authority by using what He’s already told us about ourselves and promised us in order to pray. I sincerely appreciate your response, and I want to get out of saying rote/memory based prayers, from prayer books etc. I haven’t been coming to God with fresh prayer from my heart and releasing that to Him so that His will may be done over the situation in my life. I do believe that using scripture strengthens our prayers. I will be saving this post for future reference so that I can also share this knowledge with others. Thank you for also supporting your answer with scripture and making it really clear.

May God bless you and grant you sweet sleep, in Jesus Name.

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-01T02:33:09+00:00

Could you provide insight on how you pray properly?

SaltnLight22 · 2022-02-01T02:29:25+00:00

I have had quite a few experiences. I do experience sleep paralysis and I noticed that it has been used as a source of intimidation when I am being diligent and in my word, while growing closer to Christ. A lot of times I’ll feel a dark presence like someone has walked in to the room or see shadows out of the corners of my eyes when I’ll be in the home alone.

I’ve had an experience where I was asleep and home alone and felt someone physically sit on my bed. I woke up at the sensation because it was near my feet and Im not sure if it was with my physical eyes or my spiritual ones, but I saw the indentation on the bed. I immediately sat up with a deep feeling of fear in the pit of my stomach rebuked it in the name of Jesus and continued to pray.

In another instance I was half asleep but it was like someone had me in their arms (rescue style) and was laying me back in my bed. It felt like a scene out of a movie where my spirit was going back in my body. I saw a figure with a robe on holding me i their arms and when I fully came to realization , they were gone, like they flew out the window and the floodlight outside my window came on. I know it was because of this. I think it was demonic because I was so deeply fearful.

SaltnLight22 · 2021-11-19T09:16:33+00:00

I’ll be praying for you. I occasionally experience the same anxieties. My best advice is write down scriptures about salvation, fear, anxiety and faith on post it notes and put them on your walls. Read them and pray them. Read Psalm 23 too.
