People don't like me... Christians don't like me...

[Goghysk]

Yes I understand completely. You and your parents did nothing wrong. And it's not that people don't like you either. I think the problem is people are satisfied already with the family and friends they already have and don't feel the need to meet more friends/ relationships in that area of their lives. They can't wait to go home and be with the same family or friends. So the true meaning of believers getting together to worship and pray/ support one another's faith has become just sitting in church for an hour then going home. I.,like you have tried so many churches..have asked if they offer small groups etc and have gotten nowhere. Right now I just watch sermons on tv or read the Bible at home. Praying God leads your family and myself to a wonderful church in Jesus name..I'm not giving up so don't either but I truly believe people in current society are self absorbed..not that they don't like a certain person. That is the reason

That thing about "small groups" reminded me of a story. I work second shift. 2:00 pm - 10:30 pm Monday - Friday. My schedule is different than many. My parents and I were at a Church and we asked if they had any small groups we could get involved in. I asked the pastor if they had anything that I could fit into even though my life schedule is a bit different. Anyways, the next Sunday, he got up an announced that all the small groups said they are full. So even the small groups at that Church didn't want to let anyone new into them. My Mom's friend told her, "at that Church you are either in or you are out." My Dad is the spiritual leader of this family. It's logical from different standpoints. But anyways, He has been praying for us to find a Church, and He says that God has not laid anything on his heart. He currently believes that is because there is nothing around here for us. I keep praying that maybe God will lead us to some place. Thank you for your prayers!

Dear Heavenly Father,
We know that you desire us to be fellowship with other believers, and to do life with them. But now days so many people get satisfied with what they got and they don't want to let anyone new into their lives. I don't understand it, because I'm a person that went his entire 45 years of life, and never had a solid Christian friend base. I struggle because I get jealous of those that do. But I also wonder if those people are really as close to you as they act like. It is easy to act like you are joyful and happy, when most things are going fine. It is a lot harder when things are not going fine. Dear Lord please guide Prayerangel1967 to a Church that preaches the Bible and has fellowship.

In Jesus Name,
Amen.

Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

Thank you for praying about this. I think lots of people have gone weird. But hopefully things will start looking up.

Hi friend; thanks for sharing. It’s either one of two things - either the people you are talking to have issues; or there’s something about you that is pushing everyone away. I don’t know the answer and I won’t give you a Bible verse to try to get through it. I’m a Christian single and I’ve noticed it’s tough for Christian singles in the world; but also the people that seem to have friends, don’t always have true friends; it’s just a surface level relationship, but not deep. To find a real true friend is very very hard in this world. The best “friends” that I have made were in Bible studies. I’ve been in several of them and I’ve found other people that were wanting to be there and not every single person in the group was “friend material”; but there would always be one or two that I would really connect with and be friends with and share in their struggles.
So I don’t have the magic answer, but that’s a good place to start to find true friends. I’ll be thinking of you today. And I’ll actually say a prayer for you right now.

Here on prayerrequest.com I don't expect answers. I want prayer. Hoping for an answer from God through His direction. I didn't mention that I can't travel like other people. I live out in the country, and I can drive but not as good as the average person. I don't know of ANY bible studies around my area. Not ones that I could get to easily. Also the people who are in my life, almost never invite me. But the extremely extremely extremely rare occasion that someone does... They go to a strange Church that has strange beliefs... For example, the last time someone invited me to their Church was a few years ago, and they don't believe in the trinity. I do believe in the trinity. Also last year, me and this other person had a very serious falling out. I nearly lost my job over it! Completely out of the blue, they turned on me. My boss calls me in, to get my side of the story, the only reason He gave me that this person complained about was that one time I talked too long. Didn't make much sense since I talked with them for about 5 years without any issues. It was a weird experience. I have been wondering if there might be a demon in my life. Something that is causing a spiritual issue. I didn't do anything, as far I know, to get something like this. But who knows what goes on in the spiritual realm.

Don't give up..praying for you and God can make it happen. I feel your pain .most people don't invite me anywhere either.. I don't think it's demonic..I think nowadays people are self absorbed / not friendly....praying you have a blessed and beautiful day..

My parents and I, just had a really good thanksgiving meal. We are thankful for the blessings that God has given us. I hope that you also are having a good thanksgiving. Your statement "I don't think it's demonic..I think nowadays people are self absorbed / not friendly...." got to thinking, it might not be caused by a "demon" but I think being self absorbed and not friendly is caused by the sinful nature inside of all humans. I think as Christians we are to be aware of it, and fight it.

As I was writing that, this verse happened to pop into my head:

2 Corinthians 10:5
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

It is kinda weird. You would logically think that if your a believer, and other people around you are also believers, that you would have a connection with them. They are brothers and sisters in the lord. But then somehow our personalities and other things about us can cause someone to not like you. Even if you are trying your best to be clean, and not hurtful. Just yesterday I was trying to have a quick conversation with a fellow believer at work. In years past this person was really nice to me. Won me over. This year, they kinda give me the cold shoulder. If I try talking to them, they run away. Usually they end up finding someone else and stop and talk to them! If make me feel weird. This is not the first time this has happened to me where I work. It has been on ongoing problem for many years. I try checking myself, I think about it. I should pray about it more, I suppose. But the end result is sadness. I know someone here that would say "take no thought of your life" I'm sorry but God gave me emotions. When people are hurtful to me, I feel it. Even if I act like I don't feel it, I feel it. I'm always trying to heal from past pains. One big one was many many years ago. I was trying to get a girlfriend. It just so happened that someone I was trying to help someone else witness too, kinda ended up with me for a short period of time. Things went really bad! So I had to break things off, even though I really really didn't want to. I went online to seek some comfort from a trusted Christian friend. Before I got to say much about what happened, they responded: "God told me not to talk to you anymore". Several years later, I ran into that person again on a different website. This time they asked me for forgiveness because they were depressed. I told them that I forgave them, and we tried to restart the friendship. But within a week that friendship shipwrecked again. I haven't seen or heard of this person since 2010! Probably for the best. Even though I forgave them, like I should, the old hurtful memories keep coming back. As for the girlfriend, I healed of that. 4 years after the breakup she wrote me an apology note, ask for forgiveness, and informed me that she had become a Christian. At least that ended on a peaceful note. I have another friend who won't email me. I don't know what is going on with them. I'm sure they would say they are busy. And that could very well be the case. But I can't stop thinking about them. I have prayed about them and for them a lot. I could go on with more sad stories of things that are bugging me emotionally. I think you get the point.

These signs of rejection for no apparent reason might be that you are anointed now my friend! When God chooses you for a great calling people will reject you, and I mean everybody, you feel isolated, noone wants to talk to you, etc. Please look into it, you have a good heart and thats why God chose you! God doesnt care about your past, everyone has a past, and if people try to fingerpoint at you and remind you of your past mistakes, guess what? They don't see their own. please google information about being anointed and for the elect of God or the chosen ones. God is preparing you for great things. God is isolating you from people in order to focus on Him! Increase your prayer life, read the bible, fast, and worship the Lord with music. You will start growing spiritually and God will give you answers!

God bless you!

Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not fully vested into the concept of modern day anointing like the way your describing it. But I do appreciate your comment! I have been wondering about this, as a possibility for a long time. 1) Things happen that make no sense. And that has been that way my entire life. 2) I have a short story to tell you: about a week or so ago, I was listening to a Pentecostal preacher talking about anointing. He was describing what it means to be anointed. As I'm listening carefully, I'm also rolling my eyes at him. And then He says "If you are listening to this then you are anointed" I rolled my eyes again, and thought, "this guy must be out of his mind". And then he starts to tell the story of how He got anointed. The story went something like this, He was walking down the street and some funny looking guy comes up to him and anoints him with old. At this point my heart briefly stops, and I remember the time I went forward at Church to be anointed with oil. I thought to myself, "yeah maybe I am anointed" lol Anyways the way my life is, it is really hard to work in fasting into it. I'm on high blood pressure medications, and I work a physically laboring job. But I do listen to the Bible everyday, and I pray everyday. I've always been very serious about my faith, and never satisfied with where I am at with my walk with Jesus. Like I said earlier, I appreciate your comment. And I appreciate your prayers.
