I HEARD THE LORD SAY “DON’T DOUBT WHAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU”
"Recently the Lord showed me that there are many in the body of Christ who have been assaulted by a very intense spirit of ‘confusion’ of late.
It has caused many to feel like they have been thrown into a ‘haze’ and clarity that the Lord had given was now suddenly feeling overshadowed by a strong feeling of ‘did God really say that?’"

I have often experienced this confusion and insecurity as a Christian.
I was in a church for a while where disputes had been tearing the church apart for years. A new pastor was at the helm. He was a strong personality and could preach well, but I still felt no peace and freedom in the Spirit.
This congregation used to be strong in spirit, but through human strife, the very good pastor was pushed out. This rebellion was not from God. Little by little, everything went down the drain.
When human strife wrecks a church, demonic spirits are always behind it.
The devil has different strategies to ruin a church. It can be a rebellion against good leadership.
The enemy can also sometimes lead the leaders astray through sin, for example when pastors get involved in pornography addiction or greed for money, or become proud and want to control everything.
What do Christians experience in such churches? Often confusion and insecurity.
If you are in such a church, how can you find God's way for your life again?
Go back to Jesus! Jesus is your pastor, the Good Shepherd.
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10 NKJV
Where can you find this close connection with your heavenly pastor?
You can read your favourite passages in the Bible over and over again.
You can seek the presence of God intensely in your private prayer time.
You can re-read Christian books which have inspired you.
You can spend time with good Christian friends, friends who are not in your church.
You can attend good Christian conferences or other churches.
Maybe you are not in a church, but you feel a deep spiritual need. You need to find God, but you are disappointed with churches and many Christians.
God is still God and He is good.
What does God say in the Bible?
‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ Jer 33:3 NIV84
What did Jesus say?
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
“For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Mt 7:7–8 NASB95
