Encouraging people to turn to God!

Hi. Who wants to share his torments? I wanna symphatise and offer consolation as I can. I also had a few awkward experiences and I can only keep my calmness and happiness by believing in God. My last occurence was the most frightning, but I confronted it by putting a mental barrier, like a shield arround me(it's the natural instinct stay away from me, you cant touch me), but my strenght, which held me proud and on position was the firm belief that God can save me from anything, I COULD NEVER BE LOST, I have so much happiness in my heart and gratitude(I'm sure that's hard to have for those who are so needy, not like me).I wanna give confort to anyone who feels less fortunate than me,to give them some of my strenght hopefully.Before I felt that darkness next to me, faceless, wanting to absorb me, a few days before that I asked God, without really expecting an answer, just talking in my head, if evil really exists and works in the shadows. That was the answer....It started like that: it was at night, my child sleeping next to me, I was just meditating, eyes closed, not yet asleep, just thinking how blessed I am, feeling so much at peace with the past, so full of gratitute towards God,so at peace, like never before, I reached a point of fullness,was going deep into that, ready to explore MORE of it and stamp it to my heart so I would never forget it a bit, when I felt an evil but not an entity more like a great abyss rushing next to me, like a centimeter from my face, I knew I couldnt be asleep when my whole body felt the impact of something, my ears were like vibrating can you imagine ears to give signals,to feel, not hear anything?! I knew if I opened eyes, nothing would be there(not that it wouldve been impossible, but I just knew that) and what I told to that abyss is that it cannot have me because logically it cannot even comprehend me, how could emptiness understand wholeness? Nothing cannot take over everything.It didnt go away, but I didnt want its company so I opened eyes,knew if I closed it would still be there,nothing in the room, no presence felt, so it was just a matter of frequency.Turned on light, put the rosary on my neck, prayed, turned out light, had to sleep, an uneasy feeling but that's it. Hold my baby in my arms, thinking God will protect a mother and her child!My girl always feels what I feel at night, if I am restless, she is too!! Even if I don't move, she's like having a bad dream...Anyway, I'd love to chat with you all on the paranormal, aliens, time travel....oobes....

No one drink the kool-aid!

I'm sorry you have such crippling fear in your life. That kind of fear is a horrible thing to live with. Maybe seek out a good counselor to talk with? Or someone who has been through, and can understand the things you've been through in your life? It could help you resolve irrational fears, and learn to face those fears that have a realistic root, and overcome them. We all have fears we need to deal with. Unfortunately, most of us don't.

Your spiritual connection is admirable and others here should learn from you. Thank you for your thread!

Crippling and irrational fear? The OP doesn't need counseling because she felt evil near her and turned to her God for protection.

Evil comes in many forms and when you feel it, I hope you act as rational as she did.

just as long as you realize there is nothing magical about positive thinking exercises. the "white light ritual" is an example.

You should philosophy books. they're much better than fictional, 3rd person writings.

I believe there are things that steer this reality, some good and some bad. So we can call the good god and angels and the bad the devil and demons. Now I am not much for organized religion but still believe in these higher powers and am trying to figure out what they really are.

What we perceive as reality probably is not reality. I can't even say for sure that we have to really exist at all. But whatever this experience is, I am trying to make it an enjoyable, stress free experience, void of as much deceit as I can. I do believe there are things that steer this experience we call reality other than TPTB and society. If we only believed in those two, we might as well go walk into a tornado.

Example of what?
Magic is subjective to the practitioner. What you don't see as magic doesn't make it indisputably not magic.

Personally, I think this world needs to start clapping its hands. ( reference to Tinkerbell and Peter Pan).

We need more positive spirit or don't you read the news?

Natural disasters have proven this idea to be false.

And due to the news we all have read, I'd encourage people to turn away from God. We don't need people believing they are justified in their hatred, and free to behave however they see fit all because it it gods will.

a reply to: Learningman

By your logic we should all stop eating food because Chipotles has inadvertantly sickened hundreds?

It isn't any Gods fault that hatred of man against man is rampant in todays time. The interpretation of the LOVE of God and for God is the problem. Hate needs to be neutralized by MORE love and light, not less.

The "evil" the OP was sensing was more likely her own fears, rather than an entity or "presence" of any kind. Yes, crippling and irrational from what she described. We all have both to one degree or another, and facing those fears on a rational level can be very freeing, and a counselor can help. Finding comfort in a deity is one thing. Not dealing with fears that affect those around us is quite another...

My girl always feels what I feel at night, if I am restless, she is too!! Even if I don't move, she's like having a bad dream...

Why?

Evil exists.

a reply to: Ghost147

Maybe they (disasters) weren't "natural" and more willfull by design.

???

a reply to: NewzNose

Could you share an example? I actually believe something close to evil exists, but I'd like to know if your definition requires a higher power. Also I did not imply that mans nature, and lust for war/hatred/murder was gods fault, so I apologise if it came across that way. I was merely pointing out that many humans feel justified in their 'wickedness' due to their religion/interpretation of religion.

There is an amazing power in the name of Jesus
Just verbal isle His name en you feel spiritually oppressed, aliens, demons, whatever.
Just the name spoken, thought will cause oppressive spirits to flee.

Material oppression is a different matter altogether

my point is that there is nothing supernatural about positive thinking exercises. meditation provides much the same effect. it is psychological discipline.

Ah, so I suppose any other time a mother and child had died, be it murder, car accident, fire, bombing, disease, are all just "part of the plan" then.

At what point does the goal post move so far before critical thinking kicks in?

I could equally state that these 'incidences that are part of the plan' are actually the work of Odin, and my point would be as valid as yours. So, it's up to you to prove your position, rather than just state baseless information that gives no weight to the discussion at hand.
