An International Fellowship of Spirit-Empowered Believers

Overcoming Blocks In Seeing God

Through Communion With God I learned how to hear God's voice and see visions when I was 13, and I have boxes filled with prayer journals. It came so naturally to me. But within the past year, it has seemed impossible to come into God's presence and feel His love like I used to. I've struggled with anxiety and depression, I long to see Jesus and feel His overwhelming love wash over me like I used to. When I sit down in my room to talk to Jesus, I end up crying my eyes out, waiting, and then being so emotionally exhausted that I don't receive and I feel worse than when I came. I tried to take some CLU courses last year but I couldn't focus because of what was going on inside of me. How do I get my breakthrough and come to Jesus without getting so overwhelmed that I can't see Him anymore?

Hi Krista, I have struggled for years with similar emotions. I would seek help for ????????????? I did not know how to describe it other there was something wrong with me..some sort of spiritual/emotional/mental something that was in the way of my life. I searched for answers everywhere but not helped. Wel meaning Pastors and ministers would tell me what God said in his word. His promises and the like. I could accept the truths in my mind but something was stopping me from believing in my heart. I was saying and faking everything. I would sit in a service, listen and praise and worship.............................the whole time I felt like I was dying inside. I could go on but now I am FREE!. I spent a week in prayer ministry with a Holy Spirit prayer minister. The Holy Spirit dealt with me on so many issues and levels that I was not aware of. As each issue was dealt with, the black hard casing aorund my heart began to weaken and I had a glimpse of the life hidden inside me, the image God put in me. As each day passed chips of the hard black stuff would fall off and and I could see the Bright Glory tryimg to burst out. A ray here and a ray there. I was a golden yellow color full of energy..............Sorry for going on but what I am trying to express is; God has equipped ministers to help us, spirit filled ministers that flow with the Holy Spirit. They don't have anything else on their mind but to minister without distractions.

There are legitimate mistries out there. God uses othere people.

Can you find a ministry that tea he's to hear the holy spirit and break down your heart like you mentioned locally for me?

I live in Pensacola, Florida (32526)

I would LOVE to be able to break down said walls and finally access the eyes and ears of my heart and at the same time get rid of the torment inside regarding my fight to hear from God and Journal etc....

I will say I am very heart felt and compassionate and everyone I meet says the same to me....imagine if I was actually using my heart with the eyes and ears open guided by the Holy Spirit what would happen to me? It would be FANTASTIC!

Thanks for the help in advance!

Jon

Might give this a go, I went to a retreat while on active duty when I was stressed and they all THOUGHT I was crazy which was far from reality, I was just fed up with the military ad there rules and needed more God and less me and them.

I went to a place in Georgia and in 3 days I was done smoking cigarettes and cursing and felt free from demons and stopped taking all the prescription pain killers and anti-depressants and everyone like my wife and kids and folks in the military above and below me KNEW something was different.

I found God at least his presence and peace then I went back on active duty and started smoking again and pills for pain and to calm me back down within a 1/2 to a whole year I was back to old Jon.

This time I KNOW will be different cause I am already at peace with my righteousness and saving and the lord is my Lord and Savior last time he was NOT amd I did t accept him there at the retreat.

Now he is in control 24/7 in my mind and thoughts and ALWAYS singing and praising him all day even when I am in the shower or playing basketball with friends at the park a few hours each afternoon. I have on music and sing the WHOLE time the game is going on.

Hi Krista,

Don't you hate it when the enemy lies to you and says that you cannot receive anything from God? That would be depressing! I have depression in my natural self, but My Spirit man is full of God's Joy! I can go as a refuge into God's Arms in My Spirit Man. This Spirit man in me was born when I was Born- Again. He is Christ in me and He is a Free gift of God.

The enemy gets mad when we believe this because he knows he is being evicted from what is now the House of God. We are God's Temple.

I have a website that has an article about depression if you are interested. It is @ http://www.changedbyhispresence.org/gardenofgodsheart2.html

God is the Source of our Life and we can get depressed if we think we have to be.

Be Blessed and Encouraged that you are in Good hands with God and He will bring Peace, Joy and Life to you through His Great Love that He has for you.

Blessings,

peter lovett
