Christians Help Please need some friendly advise?

Wow -- that was really, really wrong of her to do that.

If I were you, I would confront her. Even IF God told her that ( and that is a very big IF), she had no right to shout it out and I would tell her that she violated your privacy. And I would not engage in ANY discussion with her about your thoughts, because they are none of her business. Do not do it! Confront her about HER behavior, only.

It has nothing to do with whether her comments were true, partly true, or utterly false. It has to do with you setting some strong boundaries (and a person like that woman needs some).

Good luck -- that's an awkward spot to be in, but you can do it.

@ Planner: Again, even if that were a valid "word of the spirit," there is no where in the bible that says people are supposed to shout those out and invade other people's privacy -- so there's no excuse for her doing that.

If you haven't shared your issues, then what she did was unknown diagnosis? That could be inspired of God.

If your issues are generally known, then there may be a genuine inspiration, or, sadly, someone may be trying to "dominate" you.

If you feel/believe the latter, please talk with your church deacon or other responsible person in the leadership. Let them know you were embarrassed, etc.

Btw, "screaming" is not necessarily a "pure witness" sign; the word of the Spirit is peaceable, and so on.

Btw 2: You might enjoy reading these two Christian books: For Couples Only, Shaunti Feldhahn, and The Great Divorce, C. S. Lewis.

i in my opinion do not recognize some thing yet generalities about the Bible, yet i replaced into raised in a "Christian" significant different and little ones. I have not heard of a Biblical verse condoning deception (for lack of a extra constructive be conscious) to guard your spouse and youngsters or strengthen your reason. in spite of the indisputable fact that, my Christian kin (Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, Nazarene, etc....) have all used deception in any such way. i imagine it comes right down to the "Jesus died for our sins" bit. So Christians can lie if mandatory because Jesus has their again. I have an insanely self-righteous uncle who's a deacon and he lied on his resume to get a job. He were given the interest...and an rather comfortable retirement because of that interest. also, quite american historic previous: The Mayflower replaced into all Puritans....i visit't remember even as, in spite of the indisputable fact that the Separatists got here about a similar time. All were Protestant, and fantastically a lot all others were anticipated to assimilate to those beliefs or type similar ones because the Pilgrims were the colonizing majority in New England. in spite of the indisputable fact that it really is beneficial to work out Norway truly teaches about its historic previous. In u . s . of america, we get a glorified Thanksgiving and little else except we pass searching for it.

you apparently attend a full gospel or charasmatic church where the gifts of the spirit are in opertation. in 1 corinthians 12:6-12 we read that what this woman did was to operate in the gifts of word of knowledge, which is when a person knows something about you which you did not tell them or they could not have found out anyway except through the revelation of God.

also the word of prophecy, which is when a person tells you something that is going to come to pass in the future in your life by the power of God.

it may have seemed uncomfortable to you but this is a common occurance where people operate in the spiritual gifts. the purpose for doing this out loud in front of everyone is supposed to be both to build up and edify the body of Christ as the people see the gifts of God in operation, and to cause the other members of that group to be aware of what they need to be praying for concerning you.

remember that the church where you fellowship is supposed to be like a family to you. those people should be the closest people to you in your life and they should be the ones you turn to for help and the ones you are there to help when they are in need. we are brothers and sisters to one another and are supposed to be intimately aware of and involved in one another's lives. the same scripture in 1 corinthians chapter 12 goes on to say that we are all one body, part of one another. when one stubbs their toe another one of us should say "ouch". as you grow in the Lord and learn more about him and how his body operates, you will become more comfortable with the level of companionship and intimacy we have with one another as the body of Christ.

If this person has offended you and clearly she has, you need to confront her after Matthew 18.

Communication is important for the Christian. So she needs to understand how you felt and she needs to apologize and then when she does that you need to forgive and forget it. Her intentions were probably well intentioned, but still she needs to be meek to the meek and be careful how she expresses herself.

Just tell her that you were offended by making her problems so public and that you would appreciate the next time she just talk to you privately.

A more discreet woman would have shared what she knew to you privately. Gifts of the Spirit unfortunately often don't improve poor manners.

A nice thing to say would be, "I appreciate what you said, but I'd be more comfortable if you talked to me privately about such matters."

Shame on her. I don't like it when some Christians recklessly blurt out their "insights."

Anyway, you're right. That stuff is not anybody else's business if you don't want them to know about it. Try to find it in you to forgive her.

Church people are usually trying to help you. Don't be mad, she's just doing what she's been taught to do. She was probably happy that she would be able to bring someone closer to God.

Answer Mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqTc9...

That lady is a fake. She is not getting direct revelation.

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy ~Revelation 19:19~ look it up please.

Just say something like "I'll take what you said into consideration but if you get another word for me, could you please tell me in private? I felt a little embarrassed by it". Something like that
