Needs Prayer for a Sound Mind

[Angelina]

Please pray for Jonathan. He struggles with whether he is being prompted by the Holy Spirit, another spirit or self. Sometimes there is no outcome after he follows a prompting. At the moment he is on a fast. He has always had a funny relationship with food. He is very skinny. Please pray according to the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Thank you

Rocket science would suggest that we should pray requesting that God would include Jonathan among those whom He is drawing to Himself so that Jonathan will sense God loving Presence and influence in his life so that he will know that he is secure in his relationship with God and that God's loving embrace of Him will not leave him as Jesus will not lose those whom the Lord has given to Him to become His disciples.

Shalom

Hi Angelina,
When you say ‘he has a funny relationship with food ‘ do you think he has an eating disorder?
I only ask because I know the mind games that go along with that and as a Christian I still struggle to determine certain things because of wrong foundations.

He struggles with whether he is being promoted by the Holy Spirit, another spirit or self.

Please look up this web site:- 25 tips for successfully treating your OC.

He may not has OD, but he sounds like he is struggling with intrusive thoughts which point 4 talks about.
Do check this out and talk to him about it.
Also do get him checked out for eating disdisorder.
he needs help with guidance and with food.

I'll pray that he listens to you.

I personally think he has some kind of disorder but I don't know what it is. He can go for days without food for instance because he says that he is being prompted to do so. It seems unusual as there appears to be no real breakthrough or outcome when following such promptings. At the same time, he says that there is always some kind of negative conscquece if he does not follow those promptings. I think it is more of a sense of letting God down or something. Perhaps an awareness of sinning or being disobedient. IDK

I feel concern for him, will definitely bray for a breakthrough, or perhaps more understanding to be able to help him.

My prayer for Johnathan is that God put in his path A stranger that WILL Tell him HOW to DECIDE with his Heart, and HOW to COMMIT with his Heart, and exactly what that means.

Glory to God,
Taken

@Angelina 'Mind' seems to be a keyword in Philippians; 'Let this mind be in you....' (ch. 2v.5)....

Blessings in Christ Jesus! I read this the other day but did not respond then. I did pray though. I believe he needs to test his promptings. I do believe he is being messed with, as the imitator is quite good at what he does. I have gone through this in times past. What I have learned, when I was unsure about a prompting, is to ask myself this question. What does the enemy gain by me doing this? You see, the enemy does nothing unless he gains something out of it, for he is all about "self". A fast is something one does that comes from one's own heart, not by a promptings. Being merciful, comes from the heart(a new heart) and that is the fast that The Lord desires. Blessings!

I have this problem too. I didn't know it was intrusive thoughts but now I finally found something to name. I will get a prompting and I don't know if it's the Holy Spirit (from God), the devil (another spirit) or from me (my own thinking)!!!!! Why is that? Please pray for me too. I will pray for Jonathan.

 

[Lambano]

Should I pray for Jonathan to be given spiritual discernment?

Maybe I'll just bring it up to the Lord and trust Him to do what's appropriate.

I met Jonathan many years ago when a friend brought him to my place. His Father was a Pastor of an on-fire church. He is a very intelligent person so when I asked him certain questions, I could discern that he kept changing the subject by throwing in some other line of thinking, asking questions and then talking about something else.

It took awhile for me to get our conversation back on track and then he would move off again. I thought that was very unusual. His Father died about a year or so after I met him and his family fell to pieces. The church was taken over by someone else and his mother fell into depression. She eventually left them and went overseas leaving this young man to support his younger brothers and sisters by working at McDonalds at night and then going to school in the daytime.

When his mother returned after a few years, he left home to become a sort of evangelist/O/T prophet and moved up north to live on the streets. He would go house to house talking to people about Jesus, He would talk to gang members and anyone he came across. He had no problems with doing that and had a boldness for God. He seemed to be neglecting himself though and his personal needs for the sake of the kingdom and salvation of souls.

Sometimes he would drop in at my house as he moved around the country and I would make him some food, give him a bed for the night and give him some money as he moved on the following day, hitching rides from place to place. Always in my prayers

He lived with no money and never accepted help or food unless the Lord said it was okay...After many years of this, he has come out of the wilderness, got a job and was living like a normal person. He has now lost that job because he kept crashing their company car and he is now back to square one. Not sure where he is living but he keeps in touch with me and I am praying for him daily...

Is he autistic? Possibly Asperger's? There are several things you've written that sounds like someone I know who has high functioning Asperger's. They are very intelligent. But they will get a notion and latch onto it with a bulldog grip for a long time, or until they get another notion and latch onto that ....and you can't tell them any different, even with proof and logic. Sometimes there are other disorders that accompany Asperger's, such as OCD. I know 4 such people ....3 of whom living in their vehicle (with jobs). Driving is not their strong point ....especially for 2 of them. Just saying, it sounds so much like these I know who are autistic/OCD.

I will pray as well.

I'm not sure. There is definitely something there that I am unaware of. I remember when his dad was alive, they sent him somewhere because he was not well. I didn't find out from his friend what that was but heard he had to spend some time to recover from something. I think she didn't want to tell me what it was ..

That's sad. It sounds like there's more to his history than meets the eye.

@thelord's_pearl As regards subject of the believer's thinking, Philippians 4.8 is a great verse! :)
