Church Hurt
Mark 1:23-26 NKJV “Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.”
I have a word the Lord has placed on my heart to give to those who are running away from the church because of an experience or fear of rejection.
A synagogue is a house of worship, a place where people come together and pray. Jesus walked into a synagogue to cast a demon out of a man.
Now hear me on this,
Even the people in the church are hurting. But some don’t know the enemy is using them because a lot of people in the church don’t know they are in sin. It could be pride, doubt, fear, anything because what many may think is little sin is still big sin that enemy can use to bring chaos, pain, division because there is no greater sin. Sin is sin and it’s an open door for demons to do whatever they can to “try” to stop a move of God.
Hear me, so if satan can use someone at church to stop you from coming to know God for yourself, then the enemy will do that. You can’t idolize a human interaction on how the Lord is if that same human needs Jesus themselves.
A lot of people in the church pretend because they fear not being saved. So they will do all these things to try and “please” God in the church before seeking the Lord for their healing and deliverance to actually know how He’s called them to serve Him.
A lot of people in the church don’t understand that it is not by human might nor human power to transform a person, its by the spirit of God. We are all called to love, but a lot of people in the church don’t know how to love instead, they judge because they still haven’t one forgiven themselves for their own sins or two they don’t know how to love themselves to be able to love anyone else.
So don’t run from the church, just understand everyone is hurting. Don’t allow someone else’s actions to stop you from running towards God.
Trust me, I’ve been treated in a not so kind way by a lot of people at churches. To the point where I would cry and ask Jesus if I could just be with Him and not go to church anymore which at a moment I did stop going for months.
Following Jesus is not a religion, it’s a relationship. You don’t take an exam to pass the test in receiving Him. No you pass the test by believing in Him.
Don’t allow an experience you’ve had at a church stop you from pursuing God for yourself and as you are doing that He will give your heart the understanding it needs to not take offense because at the end of the day we all need Jesus.
