I had a reoccurring dream last night. Does that mean the bitterness is still there? Have I forgiven the offences of the COG AB toward me? I have a load of offenses toward the ABs should I talk about them or just keep them hid and pray that God reverses the offenses toward healing?
Do you think I should keep it quiet? COG ABs think so! They don’t care about me they care about the church and I am collateral damage

Charles I met you on this board a few months back. I am not qualified to tell you how to run your life. My prayer is that someone has the answer and will share it with you.

Read and follow Romans 12.

Since you asked what you should do, I believe it would be advisable to just pray for those you feel have offended you. I don’t think Facebook is the proper place for such material.

Woe is me….I don’t personally know u but u should know what the word says. I would think by now, u would have moved on. Time is short. Don’t let it hinder your walk & miss the rapture. Can’t quite figure out if u r just trying to get a rise or sincere. If sincere get in a good church & work with all ur might!

It’s not complicated. God’s word says to get rid of bitterness, why? because it’s not good & because “we can get rid of bitterness.”

Charles, you have a call on your life that has nothing to do with the COG!! I recommend that you put the past behind you and seek God. He will speak to you and lead you where you need to go!! In 1974, I was stationed in Bad Kreuznach, Germany and attended the K-Town Center. I remember a visiting minister preaching a message from I Thes. 1 on the topic of The Work of Faith, The Labor of Love, and The Patience of Hope. I remember thinking to myself; “I hope one day I can minister like that!!” That minister was you Charles and that message had nothing to do with the COG, but rather the Word of God and the anointing of the Holy Spirit!!! Your best years of ministry are ahead of you so get busy fulfilling the call of God on your life!!!

I don’t go to church anymore organized religion is a joke

Maybe God is trying to help you with the dreams. He thinks differently of us than others do. Let him tell you that. I know it hurts to be let down by those who should speak for God and seem to have control over our future. However, someone said “Holding on to unforgiveness is like setting yourself on fire & hoping another dies of smoke inhalation.” I wish you the best.

I do not know if this is applicable but I can tell you this : my very own brother, a pastor of a Full Gospel Church became my emotional enemy 1 Christmas day about 8 years ago. The things that have been said to me were so damaging I could not maintain any decorum with him at all! So I was walking on a cold Christmas Day and I decided… Lord I would call him my enemy emotionally. So what do we do to those who are our enemies whether Christian brothers or sisters or anyone else?.. We love them and we pray for our enemies until God changes the situation. We move on in the things of the Lord in our lives and our families as many are depending on us to exemplify Christ even when He received rejection as he was rejected.
The Man of Sorrows. It is a very hard and difficult thing but we are required to endure hardness as a soldier period while staying tender with the Lord at all times. I hope that helps. My brother and I are okay now but more healthy for me as my church Sanctuary Church of God has been so restorative. It may be hurtful to even know that I have been restored for the Church of God, but Charles God can give you this grace and there is so much power and Grace. BTW .my brothers name is Charles. . God bless you, there is no judgment or condemnation as I understand hurt beyond what most people will ever realize. And it’s perfectly okay because I know my Jesus in the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings. -
Charles would there be a possibility that something else is causing the dreams?
-
One other question Charles if you would allow. What does your selected counselor encourage you to do. I am not looking for his name just what he suggest. Thanks
-
I don’t recall him encouraging me to do anything.
-
The things I did was incredible, exhilarating!
-
My question was not meant to be negative and I will saddle up and ride away from that.
-
I sometime travel thru Memphis and if that is near you I will buy you a cup of coffee.

If you are having recurring dreams, it is something that God wants to bring healing and restoration to you. Are you familiar with Sozo? It’s a type of prayer that deals with the healing of emotions, which I have experienced in great depth. Charles, you have much to offer the Body of Christ outside of corporate religion. As God brings healing and restoration to you, He will use you to restore others.
