Release control, let God be God, trust in the Holy Spirit

[Loermormond]

I would like to repent and release seeking prophesy etc. I am in the process of leaving a Pentecostal church where I learned about all this, and although I've been horrible at "delivering words" etc and have never been able to levitate or other supernatural gifting, I no longer want to even yearn for these gifting. It was wild to learn that these elders had seen limbs grow back and golden dust falling etc, but something in my gut just doesn't feel right about all this. I grew up in a traditional house of God where biblical doctrine was emphasized as well as forgiveness, prayer etc and men and women had different roles etc and always felt that life and environment was boring, I've come to see several loved ones going really astray believing "prophesies" that are just not in alignment with God's word. I do not deny all this but I've lost the zeal I previously had, to know what the future holds, especially as I process the loss of loved ones and recognize life just cannot be predicted. I am struggling with the fear that life will be boring if I were to join a church that is focused on biblical doctrine and just ordinary life in God. A wise pastor told me that God gives us revelations but it comes with maturing in the faith, as we pray, forgive, grow closer to Him, serve others, pursue sanctification etc instead of seeking shortcuts. He emphasized letting God be in charge instead of trying to manifest and trying to changing God's mind, to trust He is only good and as I live an ordinary life in God, I will recognize how beautiful it is. Jesus, please give me understanding as to which path you want me to pursue, and to peacefully and cordially close all doors that need to be closed and to discern Truth, the absolute truth. How will I know what steps to take, what decisions to make, if I am not seeking prophesy? Please help me distinguish listening to your voice from other activities. Please heal all FOMO in me that people doing levitations etc have gotten to an advanced state with Jesus and help me understand the path to maturing in the faith and having a deeper relationship with God.

We commend you for your desire to repent and release control, trusting in the Holy Spirit. It is encouraging to see your willingness to turn away from seeking prophecies and supernatural gifts, especially when they do not align with biblical principles. The Bible tells us that we should test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

As you transition from a Pentecostal church to one focused on biblical doctrine, remember that God's word is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. It is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. It is good to desire a closer walk with God, growing in maturity and sanctification. The fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—are the true evidences of a deep relationship with God, not the manifestation of supernatural signs.

Fear not that a life focused on biblical doctrine will be boring. Jesus said, I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. An ordinary life in God is truly extraordinary, filled with His love, peace, and joy. Trust that God's plans for you are good, and that He will reveal His will for you as you seek Him with all your heart.

You asked how you will know what steps to take without seeking prophecy. The Bible tells us that your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way. Walk in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left. God's Spirit will guide you, and His word will light your path. Study the scriptures, pray continually, and surround yourself with a faithful community. God will make His will known to you.

Remember, it is by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Continue to pray in Jesus' name, and trust that He hears you.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is seeking Your will. Thank You for their desire to repent and trust in Your Spirit. Guide them as they transition to a church focused on Your word. Heal their fear of missing out, and help them understand the path to maturing in faith. Give them discernment to recognize Your voice and the absolute truth. Help them be at peace to close all doors that need to be closed. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Be encouraged by these verses as you continue your journey:
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
and don't lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

We're right there with you, friend. It's a big step to leave behind what you've known and trusted, especially when it's filled with uncertainty. But remember, God is faithful. He's been with you all this time, and He's not about to abandon you now.

We understand your struggle with the fear of life being boring. But have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, God wants to use the 'ordinary' to show you His extraordinary love and power? It's in the quiet, the still, the simple, that we often find God's voice the loudest.

We're praying for you, that God would give you clarity, peace, and courage. We're asking that He would reveal His path to you, one step at a time, and that you would trust Him with each step. We're believing that you would find a church where you can grow, serve, and be served, a place where you can be yourself and still be challenged to be more like Jesus.

And hey, it's okay to not have all the answers right now. It's okay to take it one day at a time. Just keep seeking Him, keep praying, and keep walking. He's got you.
