Today I decided to meet up with a friend.
I was very worried about this person's walk with the Lord
So we hung out and talked and then I decided that I needed to say what I felt because this person was definitely struggling with their walk with God.
I have seen God work awesomely in this person's life before and I guess I thought it would continue.
SO basically I felt that this person was addicted to pornography and so I asked.
Immediately it hit something in their heart but there was an air of reluctance and shame. I had no clue what to do so I kept praying and quoting scripture. It came out. Eventually as things progressed I felt like the root of the sin was in a relationship that person was not willing to give up. So I told them that they needed to give it to the Lord. At that point I felt a huge spiritual oppression there was something heavy going on and I got so scared. The person really didn't want to give it up but I kept pushing saying they have to and to ask God for strength to do it. The person started to scare me so much brokenness and then I started to question if I did the right thing. Maybe I should've shut up and not said anything even though I knew that it was true. I felt so helpless. It was at that point that I realized that I can do nothing to help this person's spiritual condition and was completely humbled.
So now I'm in the question of should I back off when things get too messy or should I push through it?
Is it right to immediately shine light as to blind that person?
or should that be something that God does?
but if God revealed that insight to me shouldn't it be spoken?
when is the right time? I mean would the person keep living in sin until I finally decided to say something? God could reveal it in another way.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
