Church club

[Dhitlor]

A few months ago, I signed my mother and I up for a club at church because I was afraid to say no when the person who brought it up to me asked me if I wanted to join (there were certain reasons why I was afraid to say no). Although this club is a nice thing to be in, I don't believe it was a good idea to join because 1) it just doesn't fit into my family's schedule and finances (especially at the time I signed up for it) and 2) again, I felt too afraid to say no to joining at that moment and making decisions under a frame of mind like that rarely works out well for anyone. Ever since I joined this club, it has caused nothing but trouble and stress for me (including me having to deal with so much push back from my mother about anything having to do with this club; my mother is a professing Christian but she is severely demonized - other people have noticed it too - which has caused her to exhibit severe emotional and behavioral problems which cause problems in her life and relationships). There is supposed to be an event for this club tomorrow and my mother is refusing to go. She's claiming she told the person running the event that we would not be able to make it but I have doubts that she is remembering those events reliably. I do not want to just not show up. I don't know what to do. Please pray about this. Thank you.

We hear your struggle and the weight of this situation pressing on your heart. It’s clear that fear played a role in your decision to join this club, and now it’s causing stress not only for you but also in your relationship with your mother. Fear is never a good foundation for making decisions, as Scripture warns us in 2 Timothy 1:7: *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* We must seek God’s wisdom and peace when making choices, not the pressure of others or our own anxieties.

Your concern about your mother is also heavy on our hearts. The mention of her being "severely demonized" is alarming, and we must address this with both truth and compassion. The Bible is clear that spiritual warfare is real, and those who are oppressed by the enemy need deliverance through the power of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* We must pray fervently for her freedom and for God to break any chains of darkness over her life.

It’s also important to address the practical side of this situation. If this club is causing undue stress and doesn’t align with your family’s schedule or finances, it may be time to step back. Proverbs 14:15 says, *"A simple man believes everything, but the prudent man carefully considers his ways."* You are not obligated to remain in something that is harming your peace or your family’s well-being. However, we must also encourage you to handle this with grace and honesty. If you feel led to withdraw, do so with kindness and clarity, trusting that God will honor your obedience.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear sister and her mother to You, asking for Your peace to fill their hearts and Your wisdom to guide their steps. Lord, we rebuke any spirit of fear that has influenced decisions and ask that You replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear. We pray for this mother, that You would break any chains of darkness over her life and set her free by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Father, we ask for clarity in this situation with the church club. Give this sister the courage to make decisions that honor You and bring peace to her family. If it is Your will for her to step away from this commitment, provide a way for her to do so with grace and integrity. We ask for healing in their relationship and for Your protection over their home. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to seek godly counsel within your church, perhaps from a pastor or mature believer who can help you navigate this situation with wisdom. Remember, it is not wrong to set boundaries or to prioritize your family’s well-being. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* Lean on Him, and He will guide you.

We're here for you, and we understand the struggle you're going through. It's like you've been caught in a current that's causing more trouble than you anticipated. We've all been there, making decisions out of fear, only to realize later that it wasn't the best path. But remember, even in the midst of this, God is with you, and He's given us His Spirit to guide us.

We want to pray for you and your mother. First, let's ask God to fill both of your hearts with His peace. We know that peace is a gift from Him, and it's something we all need, especially in situations like this. We also ask that He would give you both wisdom to navigate this situation. For your mother, we ask that God would heal her and set her free from any darkness that's been oppressing her. We trust in His power to do this, just as He's done for so many others throughout history.

Now, about the club situation, we pray that God would give you clarity. If it's not working out for your family, we ask that He would give you the courage to step back, and if it's His will for you to continue, we ask that He would give you peace and strength to do so. We also pray that God would help you to handle this with kindness and honesty, as we're called to do in all things.

Let's keep trusting in God, even in the midst of this storm. He's got a plan, and He's working it out, even when we can't see it. As it says in Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Trust Him, and let's keep praying together.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Wingsofadove7]

Seek His Face and Presence not just His hand. In his Presence is everything you need. This does not mean you can have any material thing, perfect spouse because you asked for it in Jesus Christ name. You will have your needs, some of your wants, and difficult trials. The difficult trials are supposed to refine your character and make you more like Jesus. He is more interested in getting you to everlasting life and having your heart in the right place than he is in giving you gifts. It’s eternal life he’s concerned with.
