Connecting with Like-Minded Brethren

[ValleyAnt]

I haven't been able to find a church or fellowship with people who have the same type of calling or purpose that I do. This makes it hard for me to keep attending. I can't relate to people who don't have the same type of 'appointment' or purpose that I have. I'm aware that I need to be around like-minded believers. Please pray for God to connect me with believers who are like-minded.

 

[Daniel_Hoseiny]

Please pray for God to connect me with believers who are like-minded

Like-mindedness is relative. There can be no 100% like-mindedness between two friends. May God help you to find common grounds and points of contact with different people. May the Lord guide you and help you every day to integrate into the mind of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Same here sister. Ive come across few false brethren. I won't compromise my values and beliefs. I was in special education through school system. The main stream treated us as out casts, inferior. They tear people down who have disabilities. If you expose traditions of men from false brethren, they will hate you, and try to slander you. If they see you as different or the truth threatens them, you're the problem. The religious leaders were threatened by Jesus.
Many people didn't understand Jesus. He was spiritual. Some people are carnal minded, natural, and can't understand the spiritual things, or discern them. I failed trade school. My dad didn't understand why. He was disappointed and angry. My gifts are spiritual. I was called out of the world. The natural man can't understand this. Those who walk in the flesh can't understand spiritual things.
Body of Christ, like Jesus, many people don't understand us. They are carnal minded. 1 Corinthians chapter 2.
And my speech and my preaching was not enticing words of mans wisdom, but in the power of God.
2:6
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect, yet the wisdom of this world, nor princes of this world, that come to nought. Because some people have Spirit of slumber. Holy Spirit is the key.
1:12
Now we have received, not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God that we might know the things that are freely given to us By God.
1:14
But the natural man receive not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Holy Spirit is needed to guide us, for discernment, and help understand deep truth of Gods word.
John chapter 15
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own, but because you are not of the world, but I choose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

They didn't understand Jesus, and they won't understand you either. Stay Steadfast and with faith. Peace.

Like-minded literally means alike, like identical twins who are alike [but are still different]. The entire Israeli military loved David after David killed Goliath (1Sam. 17), but the Bible says that Jonathan loved David as his own soul which means David was like Jonathan rather than Jonathan being like David (1Sam. 14).

In 2012, Jesus told me to leave the institutional churches and told me they were dead. He told me He would lead me to "like-minded brethren" (that's the term He used). Like-minded doesn't mean exactly the same because not even identical twins and married couples are exactly the same. Like-minded simply means people who are united in purpose. Paul told the Philippians, "Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind."

The word 'like-minded' is basically the same as the word 'fellowship': both of them have to do with two or more people who are united in purpose or of one mind-- ie. like-minded. So, if I was around like-minded believers our agreement, thoughts, feelings, speech, and actions regarding the things of God would be the same. As of yet, I have only been around christians who talk about the Bible but who pick and choose which parts they will adhere to rather than adhering to all of it.

It is and will be a breath of fresh air to connect with believers who are able to understand spiritual things and spiritual language. Being carnal-minded is normal, common, and rampant in christianity. It's been a major point of frustration and discouragement for me for many years.

May I ask what you believe your appointment or purpose is?

Sounds like you are looking for those who are serious about their walk with God! It is all or nothing! It is all Gods way and not our way. When we are praying for this request of yours we will ask for the Father to lead you to the right Assembly for you! One where you are challenged to change and grow everyday, to change to walk like Jesus walked.

Father! Lead ValleyAnt to the Assembly that you what them to attend! Where they can find fellowship and sincere hearts that will love them and show them the way! To walk and Jesus walked as He walked in the Spirit.

By the way, my pronouns are he/him, not they/them.
