Hi,

I went to the afternoon session of the church after a long time. After a prayer I have received a message from the prophetic team. There was a personal prayer time I didn’t feel like I want to get prayed.

Then a woman (a wife of the evangelist team member) came to talk with me. We talked about spiritual world and she shared her stories. Especially about the spirits appeared on the photos on the day me and other church mate got baptized. Topic was very interesting she shared the same. I was strictly on the subject. It was really interesting. It seems like we share the same interests. However, I got comfortable with her and I talked to her as if I was talking to another male person. My mind was telling me watch out for the temptation. I got hypnotized by eye contact and I forgot that there are other people in the church who were listing and WATCHING. I didn’t talk any dirty topic I was STRICKLY talking about the spiritual world. I asked her to tell her husband to send me those images with spirits in them. So that I can use photo enhancing tools to see the reality of it. But she doesn’t want to share those images with me because she says people are making money out of them and those images were a message for her ONLY, therefore she cannot give copies of them. I think by the time the conversation was ended I was too late. Others might have seen as an inappropriate act. When I went to the coffee lounge every one was ignoring me even the head pastor. Women were angry they had disgraced kind of look on their faces. I was waiting to talk to head pastor but every time I tried to talk to him he showed his backside to me.

I realized that they took my conversation with that woman in the wrong way. I was angry. I left the church with anger but I didn’t show them that. When I leave a woman behind me said “Bye” the way she said it implied that “Bye and don’t come back again!”

How I’m going to get out of this?

Is it time to find another church?

In my previous church the same kind of thing happened to quit that church. In brief, in a group meeting a woman sat in front of me and she was looking at me and others noticed it. Worst there was a table fulls of biscuits between me her. She wants to pick a biscuit which was on my side. She came around the table stood in front of me and she bent over, her buttocks were like 6 inches away from my face.

I got freaked out and I quit that church. Now I’m about to quit the second one too.

If Satan wants to quit me from church it will be a good tactic. I can face the church members. But If her husband heard the story in a worst possible form I will be creating enemies for something I haven’t committed.

Cheers

I don't get it why are you in trouble - for looking into her eyes??? Or were you acting too 'flurty'?

Go back there if you didn't do anything wrong. False accusations cannot touch you my brother.

I just cant remember what the heck happened. I tried to move out from her then she was comming closer to me and others propbably saw that!

I wasnt purposefully act in that way... i was interested in the topic. I talked to her the same way i talk with another male person. may be it looked flurty (i dont flurt with men!) but i wasnt flurting with her

I want pastor to pray over me tomarrow and i want to make an appointment but i dont know what he will say!
Man all the rubbish of others in that church comming on to me now!

A good rule of thumb I have had to learn the hard way is to NOT assume things. Satan tries his best to manipulate our minds into misinterpreting people's actions and words. Remember, he is a liar and the father of lies, so he can do nothing but lie.

This is what I think I would do in this situation . . .

First, I would talk to God and let Him help me examine my heart carefully and honestly. If I was still bothered by this after an honest examination of my motives I would go apologize to the lady for any misunderstanding. Then, if I was still uneasy I would go talk to the Pastor. I would be straightforward but respectful. After that, I would just leave it alone and trust God to work out all the kinks.

We should always do what we can to make things right when we have offended someone; even at times we feel we did nothing wrong. But, that doesn't mean we have to beat ourselves up if they don't accept our apology.

Just my opinion . . .

Indeed IHL ! It is estimated that 70% of what people say to each other is misunderstood. If you are uncomfortable with this person interact with others instead. If you were perceived as doing wrong someone will tell you- do not try to read between the lines. If interacting with women in Church is a problem then try to stick to talking to the guys as much as possible.

If you weren't hitting on her, then there is no problem. Perhaps you weren't and the enemy suggested you were. With this lie, what you saw reflected reinforced it and now your questioning your involvement with the church. Pehaps it could lead to questioning Christ itself by being angry at these christians who treated you this way. I am not saying this is the case, but I am saying that the enemy would love this to be the case. I have felt hypnotised in a womans eyes and it is somewhat pleasurable and if this is not appropiate as was the case, then remaining talking with her, somewhat opened the door for the enemy. One could excuse oneself briefly and ask a male/female friend to join the conversation. I try to never remain alone, with the opposit sex, outside relationship(marriage or girlfriend or in practical bussiness exceptions). I am new to this forum and felt how can I respond. The enemy would like me to believe such a thought and prevent me from responding with honesty.
I also understand the feeling of disapproval by the Church. I have gone through lots of perceived rejection and judgement from a Church. Some of it, was probably spot on but some of it was a reflection I believe of the enemies believed lie. I have also reached a point where I realised my whole security is the reality that I have got Christ. I dont need a Church, the approval from people in the church. I have got Christ. This is my security 100%. With this truth and my accepting this truth in my heart. I can be a part of a Church and as a new Christian albeit saved for numerous years, I do need the support and care of a Church. Not for life, but to learn how to be a servant of Christ. I am no longer dependant on the Church as such for my security. This is huge for me.
