Need Prayers; Newbe

Hey everyone

I am new to the discussion board, been talking with Mike V. since thanksgiving. The Lord is opening my eyes to see more and more each day. Just would like some prayers because last week my minister of the WCG congregation I am attending asked to meet with me. He asked why I seem different and I specifically told him that there a growing distance between what he is teaching and what I now am starting to see. This proceeded in an hour long talk and he's request a farther meeting, especially since I am the worship leader, audio guy and ministry leader i.e. deacon.

That was Thursday night then the next day (Friday) I found out I was laid off from work. Then the following Sunday my wife had a medical emergency where she lost a pint of blood. Since I have had a ton of time to study God's Word this week. I had a strong conviction today (Thursday) to tell my wife I will not be attending church anymore. Then I proceeded to explain some of the false doctrines that WCG teaches and in a very simply way example what God's Word says. Just a note my wife was born in WCG 50yrs ago but usually sleeps durning services and I have been there 30 years and extremely active.

Tomorrow (Friday) Jan 24 I will be having lunch with two long time friends from WCG and plan on telling them that I will not be attending church be soon. I have many responcibilities that need to be transfered to others. It's now right to just leave them high and dry.

So as you see there is much going on at the moment and would like prayers. I really wanted to go to the conference this weekend but with being laid off that wasn't wise financially.

Thank you very much, God will be with you all, Amen!

and with you Dave, it certainly sounds like you have a plateful of "isn't life great" stuff going on.

i hope and pray God will bring you through and help you to just find some peace and encouragement in Him while all this works out.

it all reminds me of some of the storms i've been brought through over the years, i was just thinking a minute or two ago about it.

what about a verse

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace continually by every means. The Lord with you all!

For the EYES of the LORD are over the rightous, and his EARS are open to thier PRAYERS: BUT the {FACE} of the LORD is against them that DO evil.(within me)

GOD JUDGETH the rightous,(within me) For GOD is ANGRY at the wicked EVERY DAY.(within me)Ps 7:11

My prayer for you Dave and hope to give some encouragement

May Our Father of lights, who has given his light, continually shine in you and before you, as he walks you through his storm. Who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, where we once sat in darkness and in the shadow of death and guides our feet into the way of peace. (Jam1:17, 1Pe 2:9,Lk 1:79)

Looking back on how my own foundation was shaken terribly by this storm ,where once my feet were planted (church world), to be destroyed and to be made a new, For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1Co 3:11)

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying. I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (Joh 8:12)

As this process is worked out may you have rest in him .

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
(Ps 116:7-8, Ps 132:13-14)


May the God of Love and peace be with you.

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation; Neither shall they say, Lo here: or, lo there: for behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Lk17:20-21

Thank you all for your replies:

To bring you up to date. My wife is doing fine medically, since she was raisied in WCG she has an adversity towards doctors. So it will take a miracle from God to get her to finally see a doctor about the problem. Plus medical coverage is another issue.

On the other front my old boss wants me back so there are some discussions with a contract house on how to bring this about. Also there are some other irons in the fire for possible job opportunities. I am software programmer by profession. But all is in the Lord's hands and not concerned about it.

I spent Monday writing a letter to my WCG pastor about me stepping down as worship leader and concerning myself no longer as a member of WCG. Then spent today writing the email to him with the attached letter and by the Lord's help I pressed the send button. Haven't heard anything from him yet.

My wife isn't on the same page spiritually at this time, she has been in WCG for 50yrs and usually sleeps durning the sermon, church is a social club for her far as I can tell.

Thank you very much and please continue praying for me and my wife.
Dave
