It starts with the question can guys be friend with girls without it being complicated or feeling occurring???? It’s a question that has popped up in my life a lot lately as I’m growing up and my real friends are starting to standout. Then as god is he puts it in to practices. At my last church service there was a girls that wasn’t feeling well and I offered to pray for healing. She said yes!! So I sat down with this girl that I have known from the start of my faith and prayed for her. It worked god healed her and she felt much better. As we have encounter god together we agreed to meet for coffee and discuss are faith. Also she felt a message from god saying that she should lessen to me.

The Complicated part

She had a boyfriend. In my mind, heart, soul, and body I don’t have any feelings for her apart from a sister in faith. I know her boyfriend quite well and would hope that he wouldn’t even think about it in that way at all. Then I go to my regular cell group on a Tuesday night. Where I sheared my experience of healing and how great it was to feel god work right in front of my eyes. Then followed by my plans to meet up with her to discuss faith, god, healing, testimony, etc. some of the guys felt like me and totally agreed that it was fine and I should go along with it. A couple of the guys felt completely different and said that it was a bad idea. I cant type exactly what they said but they didn’t agree and felt that I would up set her boyfriend (my friend). This realty shocked me and got me thinking.

What’s Witten in the bible?

John 15:12-15 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs 19:20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. 

 With these to proverbs I think you really need to choose who you listen to. who you talk to for advice. I believe there is no greater person than god in this situation. But speaking to someone could be the same’ as god could be speaking through them.

My conclusion

I feel like if you LISTEN TO GOD you wouldn’t get your self in to problems that you or no one you know could give you the right answer to. This question can guys be friend with girls without it being complicated or feeling occurring? Kept me up till 3.00am. Thinking and thinking but really all I need to do is put my faith, feelings, words, actions in to god hands and iv got the answer. Don’t make things more complicated than we all ready have. God healed her (YES GOD HEALED HER SIMPLE AS THAT).I feel like me meeting her could bring god closer to the both of us. If I’m not doing things appropriately I’m sure god will have his way of letting me know that. Let along the common sense he gave me.

Please if you have any thoughts or question you would like to share with me please do….

Myself and my best friend Martin went down to the splash (the river we got baptized).  It was about a month after my baptism and I wondered off to pray on my own, it was just about to get dark so it was pretty scary. My prayer was about being closer to god to feel the holy sprit to come upon me. Also there were a lot of thanks in my prayer. Where I was at the time was a pretty good point in my life and really feeling the joy and holy spirit I got from my baptism. Once I had done praying I took a step back. Literally took one step back then I felt god take over me and I step back in to the place I started praying in and started speaking in tongues. God totally took over the words coming out of my mouth. It was all God. It was an amazing feeling and to this day I haven’t spoke in tongues but I wanted to write it down so I never for get the story of the first time God spoke through me.  

Since I have encountered tongues a lot more. Also in different ways. My advice would give your heart to god and be free of everything in your mind. Try and find a place that you can relax and feel the holy sprit.

I will be blogging more in the near future about the holy sprit. My experiences of it and the ways I find it.
