I LIKE TO ASK LOADED QUESTION TO MAKE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE THINK AND FIND THE ANSWER TO PROBLEMS SO HERE IT IS:
I noticed in my walk with the Lord since 1992 that new Christians I met during this time had so much chaos and trouble in their lives. Then I noticed that they were practicing various sins. Living in sin with a boyfriend/girlfriend, drugs are involved, liquor, bullying people, etc. Then they cried out for prayer because they couldn't take it anymore.
In my earlier walk I just ignored these people/Christians because I didn't know what to tell them. If I told them the truth that they needed to repent, they would get mad at me.
The same is happening in today's world. Some have asked for prayer who are having trouble and chaos because of open doors to the enemy.
Another thing I noticed from some of these people is that by the things they say or do, they sound as if they are either demon possessed or they have a mental issue or both.
Mostly it's because they are new Christians who are still practicing sin which opens the doors to chaos and trouble.
What do you say to these people to help them understand why there is so much chaos, trouble and confusion in their lives? I know we are to be led by the Spirit and that is the best way to minister to these people.
Many pastors in this day and age don't like to address this problem because they don't want to offend for reasons of their own. However, how do pastors address this problem in today's world? Anybody have the answer to this or an experience? You are welcome to reply on this subject.
