"Unloading"

Warning: certain types of people are not “healthy” for your soul!  Stay away from them! 
What types?  Well, obviously those totally negative and despondent types will NOT feed your soul the needed spiritual nourishment!  You see we are instructed NOT to forsake “…the assembling of ourselves together… and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25).  Who would you want to have around as this world winds down: a hysterical maniacal Apostolic (ready to “jump off the cliff” at the first sign of tribulation) or, a confident, God-trusting saint awaiting His rapture trumpet?  I’ll take the second type any day!

However, there is another aspect to all of this that catches my attention.  According to Apostle Paul, we are NOT to “lay hands suddenly on no (any) man, neither be partakers of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.” (I Timothy 5:22).  What an unusual verse!    

I just recently learned that certain types of devil worshippers “come to church” just to UNLOAD their negative spirits; their bothersome demonic oppression!  That in itself explains why some demon possessed persons are not delivered!  In other words, they come to church NOT to be delivered, but, rather, seeking for some simpleton saint who “claims” a spiritual gift.  Then, while that “self-anointed” minister prays one of those shrilling attention calling prayers… the devil worshiper is UNLOADING his spiritual trash into the soul of that unprepared saint!

Farfetched?  Perhaps… or maybe not!

Along the same line of thought, I firmly believe that there are those among us that ARE NOT interested in a COMPLETE miracle for their lives.  I speak of those that THRIVE on the attention of the church for their problems that NEVER WILL BE SOLVED because they do not want to be free!  All they want to do is UNLOAD their venom, oppression and general hate into the lap of naïve saints (and ministers!) that are sincerely trying to help!    

These types are those that cause continual confusion among the congregants… some saints “bleed” with empathy for the (chronically) troubled soul; others see the “second hand smoke” of spiritual hypochondriacs always looking to “unload” another basket of never-to-be-solved-self-inflicted-pain.   In the end, many of the innocent saints begin nursing ill feelings against each other while the real culprit is hiding in a world of strange pleasure generated by the confusion caused.    

Does that mean we are not to help such needy types?  Of course they need help… and we should offer help to such “unloaders”… but always at an arm’s length.  Pray for them at a distance!  Don’t allow them to draw you into their sick world of unresolved problems.  You do not have the spiritual ability to “heal” them.  They will only be healed when they come to the realization that they will have to GIVE UP their comfort blanket of pain if they want the pillow of peace… REAL PEACE!
