[QUOTE="Viktor Zeegelaar, post: 1495765, member: 22108"] The latter time I felt a strong urge in myself to do something, which put me under a lot of stress and worked pretty paralyzing to be honest. I felt that I had to resist what is happening, that I had to form a local community that I had to do this and that. Last week I had the epiphany to ''do what you know you have to do'' and trust God entirely on whatever will come on my path. Even if locally in this battle I may stand on my own, or not, God will guide me to wherever I need to go. I have had countless of ''accidental'' things happening to me in the last few years where at the moment I thought I was in a dreadful situation and I cursed at my situation, but in hindsight realize that was the best thing that could happen, even if that was to lose people, money, a job etc. Eventually at exactly the right moment the right thing came, the thing that I needed in order to get a step closer to the truth. So God is guiding us completely at our way. If we need suffering he will give us suffering, to come closer to the truth. If we need good times he will give us good times. If we need to be alone, we will be alone. If we need people, God will send us an opportunity to meet those people. So to conclude: let go, trust in God completely and accept what's coming your way. Do what you know you have to do and believe these impulses come from God. Don't resist it, whatever it is. Since I did this for example I have had 0 urge to watch porn, whereas before that I watched it frequently even though I felt resistance and guilt after doing it. We have to let go our wish to control the situation and give ourselves over to God and wherever he leads us, if He wants it eventually to eternal life. Amen. [/QUOTE]
