A Sincere Question… Should I Stay or Go?
January 262010
Lately I have been thinking about leaving my current church fellowship. I cannot put my finger on it, but I am having great problems in obtaining Christian fellowship. I admit to a great deal of it being my fault, and I will not place this solely on members of my church for not reaching out to me. I don’t know what it is… The people are great, there is no false doctrine and there is no other indicators that would make me leave, but this genuinely bothers me that I have been here for 5 years but have yet to find one Christian brother/sister who I know I can call if I need them or sometimes I find that their interests are divided. I’m not looking for perfection and I realize that NO CHURCH or any person is perfect.
I feel so dull, I read the word, I pray. God is growing me in Godliness and I know his Spirit lives in me. I see the growth I am experiencing. I am currently not in ministry because I do not feel God has called me to any of them… except evangelism of course, and I don’t know the last time we evangelized to anyone. God has called me in this time in my life to LEARN and soak up his word, and he has honestly given me back the time and THEN SOME that I lost seeking the things of the world.
I have realized in my years of being in Christ, that to a good degree that is not about DOING all the time but BEING, and I have DONE sometimes to death, but that doing was not for God but to please men. I desire to be in ministry, but I know ministry is not above God, yet some people treat it that way… I feel like sometimes it is all for show and not for God.
I said all of that to say… PRAY FOR ME. LORD HELP ME. God Bless You.

My Dearest Sister, …
My Dearest Sister, I pray that this finds you well. You’re on a different level than most. Right now you feel alone. Most people think you are reading too much into your studies. They constantly suggest you need to study more when you know different…even at your church home. Am I right? First and foremost, ask the Father what He desires for your life. You are on the right track. He has me going down that road 2. Sometimes like Elijah, you just need to know that there is a remnant.

be sure of one thing. THE EVIDENCE OF A GOOD FELLOWSHIP IS IN ITS FRUIT! if you’re feeling all of these things then your church is not that great. We dont quite know wot to do or wots causing this new phenomena in church it but it’s evident that the recent resolve for the church to be more relevant to culture by embracing postmodernism is majorly responsible for it. we have substituted the power of the holy spirit for emotional trips-good worship band etc

There are millions who leave the “church club” all around the world sis. I’ve done that 4 years ego and never look back. You will be closer to God, free-er from mans’ traditions, doctrines, strife hypocrisy etc. You will allow THE LORD to teach you. You will look to HIM always and learn to hear HIS voice more than ever. You will meet like precious faith people from the Body of Christ, not from the “club”. Google “out of church christians” and read Andrew Strom’s article. WALK WITH HIM!!!

I’ve been in the same emotional weight all my life. I wrote you an email not seeing this video 3 months after this one. Is God ever late that I wrote 3 months later? Was God on time when Lazarus was dead and stinking for 3 days.

Dear Simone56, I just saw your video clip.
My heart went out to you. I certainly understand what it’s like not to feel really connected to other members in the body of Christ. I hope that now (3 months later) things are better for you. You’ll be in my prayers. God bless.

Part 2. There used to be fellowship outside of the church in the beginning but now only before service or special occasions.I’m like you,I need REAL CHRISTIANS around me who are going to build me up in the faith and knowledge of our LORD JESUS.I wanna be loosed from my church;on the other hand my wife is in a place where she’s been called (front line music ministry).She more than likely doesn’t want to leave.She grew up in the AOG church.How do I get out and her with me?

It’s funny at of all the videos of yours the i either agree with or disagree somewhat with,this one HITS HOME HARD with me.I’m in the same situation right now.I go to a Charasmatic,tongue-speaking,falling-out in the spirit type church and have now for over 6yrs.I’ve had my eyes opened to some of the unbiblical teachings by studying to show myself approved i.e. tongue-speaking wasn’t gibberish( couldn’t understand) but was known to the hearer.

I just read through the comments. How encouraging it was to me that their are real believers out there. I wish we could all get together. It is lonely, but I take so much comfort that He will never leave me or forsake me. That goes for you too.

Rom 11:3-5 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

true seekers are seeing the modern Church is not of God &are being called out as an endtime remnant.1Ki19:14And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts:because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars,and slain thy prophets with the sword;and I,even I only, am left; and they seek my life,to take it away.1Ki19:18Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him

if it’s pentecostal/charismatic in any way–get out. worldly dress, modern music pretending to be Christian, tongues, slain in spirit, prosperity gospel. where a modern bible is, there wont be a true gospel presented. find you a KJV church and go from there. (not to say all KJV churches are telling the truth.) i’m in the same boat sis. i dont have a home church cause i’m seeing unbiblical things going on in them. the modern day american church is apostate.

Sis, I can totally relate where you are because I’m there! The Bible has many scripturez that address this very thing that we experience. My heart goes out to you. He (or she) that dwells in the secret place (where you know you can get to God and be naked and unashamed before Him) shall (its inevitable) abide (stay,dwell, live, draw from) under the shadow (protection, safety net, security blanket) of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1; meditate on The following psalms:1;16;23;37;18;27;Josh.1:8 luv ya

the Holy Spirit, nomatter how hard or lonely times may seem, i am compelled to stay in this place. I believe that God is trying to teach me something in this valley and I will come out on the otherside wiser and better. Noone can tell you what you should do except the HolySpirit but I am believing that God will give you PERFECT wisdom and direction in the way you should go. I always like to say that sometimes God closes some doors so that the RIGHT ONES can be opened.

My BEAUTIFUL christian sister, there is a season for everything. However for me to comment on what you should do would take more information from you as to WHAT exactly has brought you to this point. What i can say from experience however is that sometimes the Lord will have us in a place or go through a time of solitude that is most definently NOT pleasing to the flesh. I am there in this place myself, i too have been thinking about leaving my current church, but until i have clearance from
