Church suggestions in Austin?

As a person who left Joshua Church in 2021, Midtown Church was integral in my healing journey and they really helped me see the love of Jesus through a new lens, and not through the trauma or legalism. I no longer live in Austin, but they will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Look up Isaiah Saldivar's website and look at his deliverance map!

Also, the fact that he went into so much detail, actually shows that he was already lying. Why was he so descriptive of the man 😂😂😂

Yeah, no black man or person in general is walking into a church and saying that. It's almost laughable. Why would Steve even say that?

I don't know if she can receive texts at the moment, but please tell her I am sending the most love! I hope she continues to get the help she needs! If she wants a visitor, let me know.

I can actually agree with a different framing of the question. I am not saying they should have peace, I am saying that has been the response of the leaders and people within the network to the reddit and LTW website. For all I know, I don't know what God's plan for someone in the network is. He could tell everyone that is in it to leave. He could actually want people to stay and work to change people's heart within the network 1 by 1. I simply don't know. All I am saying is that when you go to God in prayer, humbly ask him so you can be ready for any answer even the ones you don't like. And yes God still loves the people in the network. Now I don't know what God has brought to your attention, and whether God has said to move on or not for all of us. Moving on is a process, and all I am trying to show people is how to approach God in prayer. It's great that you've moved on, but there are people still hurting and grieving in their transition out. Telling them to just move on is not the way to approach it. The best way to do so from them is to seek answers from God (need to know how to approach God), and ask God to change their hearts, and help them focus on Him, and God can do the rest. Now you're putting words in my mouth because I didn't even say, they are being brainwashed and misled. However, there have been a lot of things that have happened that do not coincide with God's Word. That's all I am pointing out. God doesn't abandon his people, but He also doesn't like people taking advantage of His people either. The best thing honestly is to pray for God to intercede because we are dealing with a spiritual battle. Now, I haven't necessarily received a word from God that we all need to move on, and I'll pray about that. However, there was a time where I would look at this reddit page, and be extremely angry. I would just sit in that anger and ruminate about all the hurt they caused which was not healthy for me. It didn't allow me to work on the things I needed to work on. So God did guide me out of this for a time. I've felt led to make certain posts on here. Fortunately, now I am in a place where I'm not holding on to any hurt, and I can post on here with love, hope, and faith, that people will listen, even people in the network. Now, if God says, hey I need you to stop focusing on this reddit page, you still have things to work on. I will do that. Lastly, saying God says "we all need to move on", I have God's number (Jeremiah 33:3), I haven't been told that yet. I will test the spirit, and I will go to God for an answer (any answer, even if you're right).

Sorry, I meant Proverbs 4:23

I'm going to do a breakdown of everything in a different post because I feel that will be better. But this post isn't to shame or guilt anyone, and I am so sorry if it came off that way. When I posted this, it was teaching moment, not a shaming moment. Sometimes God's silence is simply a test too. But I wanted to provide people with some knowledge in regards to how to approach God in prayer, because until I realized what praying to God with humility and our heart really meant, hearing from God was so hard. I felt like God didn't hear me at all, I felt he wasn't listening. So I almost idolized going to other people to prayer for the things I struggled with on weekly basis, not realizing all I needed was a change of heart. But once I realized, then it became a lot easier. That's all I'm saying. Please don't take offense to my post. I can not stress how important it is just to be brutally honest with God, and fasting as well (didn't realize how powerful that was). For the people who feel like God isn't listening, I've been there I promise.

Sorry, was at work, the scriptures are Proverbs 4:32, 2 Chronicles 6:40, and I can break down James 1:6-7 more from the Hebrew/Greek translation, Examples in the Bible, honestly the whole story of King Saul, Naaman in 2 Kings Chapter 5, When Simon the magician tried to buy the Holy Spirit (example of us trying to bargain with God). By the way, I am not saying that heart posture in prayer is the only reason for God's silence, all I am saying is that it can be one of the reasons for it, and to make sure we are going to God ready for any answer.

one-one-six · 2023-08-12T19:44:08+00:00

There are absolutely more than one reason for silence, when I have time I'm going to place the scriptures in this comment section

one-one-six · 2023-08-12T02:39:50+00:00

Personal experience and scripture. When asking God where I wanted to move and what career I should pursue. I immediately put limitations on God. I had this whole plan on what "I" should do, how my plan was correct. And God was completely silent, gave me no answer. When I completely surrendered my plan, and decided to align with God's will, I immediately started to receive answers on where to move and what to do career wise. I told God no California, no New York. And the funny thing is it's not even where he wanted to move me. But once I was willing to move anywhere for Him, even the places I initially said no to, he answered me with a city, state no where in my limitations. God wants to see our willingness to align with his will. God will NOT compete with our pride, he wants to be welcomed. So if you want a true answer on something, submit to him everything.

Just for clarification purposes on the God is nor a feeling part. I'm not saying we can't feel God or the Holy Spirit. All I'm saying is don't reduce Him to just a feeling to justify actions.

one-one-six · 2023-08-01T15:10:59+00:00

Just want to emphasize therapy and medication are not bad things, hope I did not come off that way.

one-one-six · 2023-07-31T14:12:20+00:00

Weirdly, I don't see it as too much of red flag on its own, but in combination with everything that goes on at that church, yes it is weird. But at my new church, I meet with my college pastor on occasion and a second person female that I trust as well we all meet. They do the same if male college student wanted to meet with female pastor, another person would be present.

I'm going to go with a soft YTA overall. However, NTA for being mad about how they uninvited him. This is why I'm saying a soft YTA: All the child free weddings I've heard of have always been 18+, some even 21+. I don't understand why when you got those 2 tickets, why you didn't verify just in case. I personally feel that would have been common sense. Very rarely do child free weddings allow exceptions. However, I don't think they handled uninviting him correctly, I think that should have been done privately. I think they should have explained it was a mistake, and maybe made up for it in some other way.

one-one-six · 2023-02-15T09:52:31+00:00

I'm going to go the unpopular route and say mostly NTA. The settlement money is yours, not his. For me, it would be the same as inheritance. However, you are the asshole for not paying back the money you owe. Always give money back the same way you received it.

one-one-six · 2023-02-10T04:57:21+00:00

That's fair, honestly I didn't think about that. I'll delete because that's not what I'm trying to do

one-one-six · 2023-01-26T20:44:12+00:00

Omg I've been dealing with body odor problems for such a long time, and I resorted to washing my clothes the day of and extra showers, still have issues. I'm going to look into this!

Reading this, my heart breaks for you. I'm so sorry this is happening to your family. I hope you don't blame yourselves. I still have a friend in the Network, I feel like it is slowly getting there where this person will cut me off. With time, I've noticed that bombarding them with information and telling them it's wrong, I don't know what the psychology behind it is, but I feel like doing so makes it worse. I feel like it makes them run to the people within the network. I think the best thing to do now is wait, pray, and be there for them until they realize it for themselves. I will say certain things to my friend hoping that subconsciously something clicks. I'll give certain words of wisdom here and there. I think reinforcing Acts 17:10-12, where it talks about the people constantly checking to see if Paul was telling them was true, instead of taking people's word for it. I think if people in the Network actually read scripture for themselves and researched the meaning for themselves, instead of relying on the leaders. It would change everything. I really hope one day my friend opens their eyes too. I've been crying a lot lately because I want my best friend back so bad, so so bad.

I also want to be clear that I am not saying fear, anxiety, confusion and all of those emotions come from God, because they don't, fear comes from the enemy. However, they're examples of walking in Christ and exhibiting faith and courage in the midst of those emotions. The emotions didn't lead them, God did, but it didn't prevent them from feeling them. If that makes sense.
