Not sure what church is right for me
Hi everyone. I have had a hard time finding a church, including denomination. I grew up Catholic but there are things about it I didn’t feel where right (won’t get into that)
I went through a large period I was atheist and then Our Father made His presence known in my life.
Since then I was part of a non denominational church which I feel I don’t “belong” to.
I introduced a friend to this church and she got obsessed with deliverance and dropped me because her daughter went through “possession” shortly after joining the church (I had some oppression as well) and I think it freaked her out, so maybe she felt it was from being around me.
She started watching Derek Prince videos non stop and was heavily into the church and even did Bible studies at her house then suddenly stopped. Even the Pastor I think isn’t sure whats going on now.
Anyways I found it hard to be afraid of everything being satanic like ever piece of music etc. I’m aware of how evil the music industry and Hollywood are intrinsically but I don’t want to live in fear. I for the most part avoid secular music but not 100%
I don’t watch any TV now etc But I’m not sure where our Pastor was educated, he’s a musician by trade and he has a “Prophecy school” where people can learn to “talk to God” and he has all these deliverance workshops.
I 100% believe in deliverance but something feels off. Maybe I’m wrong
But I decided to look into the Orthodox church and went there next.
It was very different and had some culture behind it. I was uneasy with the prayers to the Saints as I was told this isn’t correct and we should only talk to the Father through Yeshua (Jesus)
I want to make sure I’m doing things the way Our Father wants us to.
Some things about the Coptic Orthodox church. The people there are a bit closed off to me because I’m not from where they are. (At least that’s how I feel)
I was volunteering but I have a connective tissue disease and have limitations. The coordinator of the volunteering stopped responding to me when I offered to go or offered clothes or whatever it is, which I found odd.
I mentioned it to the priest and he said I should need to serve for Our Father and so ignore it (which makes sense) but at the same time I should volunteer where people want me right? I don’t want to annoy people or make them upset if I’m hindering things in any way
At this church I’ve done a couple confessions. The last one was so difficult to get to/do. Like there was a spiritual block
First off making the appointment was hard as the assistant ignored me for over 2 weeks and the priest made it himself
I told him I had a tight window for work
He was 15 min late and the church doors were locked and it was blistering hot. I have POTS which is a heart /BP condition from my EDS and I started feeling unbearably bad waiting in the heat so I had to walk somewhere to get water and by the time that happened I just forgot it.
I had to get to work and I needed to survive my day. He had called me but I was on the phone with my husband at the time.
I sent the priest information about my condition and he hasn’t responded yet. I feel terrible. He’s probably upset
So I probably can’t continue at this church between the volunteering and this
Now I have no clue where to go I have my Bible and will just sit with this for now. I just want to find a nice church for worship and community. Why do I feel so lost
