IT’S BETTER TO BE ALONE THAN TO HAVE MANY UNGODLY FRIENDS & FAMILY Written by Mindy Schuman There are many times in life when we find ourselves surrounded by friends, family and others who don’t have our best interest at heart. There are often individuals we allow to be part of our lives who have not aligned themselves with the kingdom of God and His commandments and have become a negative influence in our thoughts and actions. In many cases we allow these individuals to speak into us and be an active part of our lives causing much damage to ourselves and even our spouse and children. These types of relationships can be harmful and cause us to lose our peace that God desires us to have. We have a responsibility to our spouses, if married, and children to guard ourselves from those with evil intentions and who habitually practice sin and walk out their fleshly desires. Many mistakenly believe that being connected to those who have repeatedly and habitually been critical, judgmental and harsh is somehow better than being alone. But it is far better to pull away and be separate than be negatively influenced, controlled, manipulated and mistreated…

YOU DON’T HAVE MANY FRIENDS BECAUSE YOU LIVE CONSECRATED Most people are not living a godly consecrated life so often tolerate living in unrepentant sin and have many friends who are also living ungodly lives. Many of these people complain how they were victims of life, angry and selfish, tolerating gossip, sexually impure, addicted to unhealthy food, alcohol, etc. And they make fun of you because you don’t have many friends. Saying you just can’t get along with people when in reality it’s because you won’t live a compromised life of sin. When you truly choose to live for Jesus you pursue consecrating your life to what Jesus talked about in the Bible and then you become more like Christ. You repent and change from living in your flesh and sin becomes rare in your life. Therefore your circle of friends will become smaller. You forgive everyone who hurt you, repent for pride and sin, command demons out of you and walk in the fruit of the spirit. You change from living a very sinful life full of the flesh to making sin rare and living in the fruit of the spirit. So then there are less people in the…

IT'S BETTER TO BE ALONE WITH JESUS THAN TO HAVE MANY TOXIC FRIENDS & FAMILY By Mindy Schuman There are many times in life when we find ourselves surrounded by friends, family and others who may not necessarily support us or have our best interest at heart. There could be individuals we have allowed to be part of our lives who have not aligned themselves with the kingdom of God and His commandments and have become a negative influence in our thoughts and actions. In some cases we, for whatever reason, have continued to allow these individuals to speak into and be an active part of our lives causing much damage to ourselves and perhaps even our spouse and children! These types of relationships can be harmful and cause us to not be able to walk in the peace that God desires us to have. We have a responsibility to our spouses, if married, and children to guard ourselves from those with evil intentions and who habitually practice sin and walk out their fleshly desires. In my own life, I struggled with giving the types of people mentioned above access to my life because I feared being alone and feared…

Today the Lord showed me a vision of many, many millions of people in the world who are feeling more isolated and lonely than ever before in their lives.  Many have been abandoned, rejected, lied and gossiped about, abused, and that even God feels distant to them.  Some have self-sabotaged their own relationship because they were not healed from their soul wounds which caused them to have unforgiveness and bitterness in them allowing demonic strongholds rights to cause them to trigger on those who loved them causing them to pull away.  While others have had to escape from unhealthy controlling relationships of Jezebel which were intent on forcing them to do what Jezebel’s demonic spirits wanted and not what God wanted. They could no longer submit to the demons in those who had evil intentions for them.  Some are in toxic marriages with people who are not healed and delivered operating in the Jezebel spirit and being emotionally controlled and abused.  Some have children who have rejected their parents due to believing lies from the enemy through their ex-spouse or through connections through unhealthy friendships that their children have had. Some have friends who have all turned on them and…
