You’re Never Alone.

~ You're Never Alone ~
A few days ago a women (who I will refer to as 'L' for confidential respect) told me that a women she has known for many years (who I will refer to as 'S' ) had been taken into a care home.
'S' had been ill for a long time with many illnesses including Alzheimer's.
Her Husband had died many years ago and she had been living by herself for many years. She had people visit her and look after her etc.
She had been found a few times wondering around the streets looking for people who had died a long time ago.
'L' said to me that 'S' had been taken into the care home because her Mind had gone, and she needs constant care.
'L' then said “That's what happens when you get old and you're Alone with no one to talk to, your Mind goes and it plays Tricks on you”.
As she said that, a 'Warning Alarm' went off inside me, and I felt God Guiding me – 'That's Wrong, that's a worldly attitude'.
'L' continued telling me what had happened with 'S', and then I said,
“Does she Believe in God” ?
'L' said, “O yes, she Believes in God”.
I said, “No, I mean does she 'Really' believe in God” ?
'L' then said, “Erm, I think so, she used to go to Sunday school and she says her Prayers”.
~ That Doesn't mean that she 'Really' Believes in God and His Word. ~
I then said, “I asked that because you said 'When you're Alone, your Mind goes and it plays Tricks on you'.
But when you Really Believe in God, then you know you're 'Never Alone', because God is Everywhere”.
Up until that point, 'L's face had been very 'negative' with a fearful expression, as though she was worried that she might get Alzheimer's as well.
But when I said that about God, her face changed to a 'Positive' look.
She said, “Yes that's Right, I read that a bit ago, 'You're Never Alone, because God is Everywhere'”.
We carried on talking a while, and I offered 'L' some Loving Encouragement and Guided her to put her 'Trust in God'.
The next day I remembered a different conversation that my Wife & I had with a homeless man Many years ago. We had given him some food and a hot drink, and we spent some time talking with him.
He told us he'd been living on the streets for a Long time. He said he's ok when Nice people talk with him, but when he's Alone, his 'Mind' plays Tricks on him, and he Thinks horrible things.
We didn't ask what he meant by that as we could see in his face that he was meaning very dark and disturbing things.
As I remembered this a few days ago, I realised that I've heard Lots of people say 'negative' things like, 'If you've got no one to talk to then you'll go mad', or
'If you're by yourself then you'll crack up', and other similar things.
But God Guided me, 'That's a worldly teaching, and it's Seriously Wrong'.
God Guided me that those types of 'Sayings & Attitudes' have come from the devil to Trick people into Thinking that if they're Alone, they'll go mad.
The devil knows that if he can get people to Think it and Believe it for long enough, then it will probably happen to them. And that's part of the devils Plan to Prevent You from 'Being Who God Created You To Be'.
God reminded Very Clearly of the Bible Verse,
“As a person Thinks, so they shall Be”. (Proverbs 23:7).
God was Strongly Guiding me that What people 'Think', is Very Important, and has a Lot of Power in it, either in a negative way, or a Positive way.
The Truth is there are Many Bible Verses where God actually Guides us to spend time 'Alone', so that we can Connect With God away from distractions.
So there's obviously Nothing wrong with being Alone.
It's the devils Trickery that has Spread through society to Corrupt people into having a 'negative attitude' about being Alone.
Don't let the devil Trick You.
Destroy the 'negative seed' that the devil is trying to plant in 'Your Mind'.
It's 'Your Mind', it's Not the devils.
God Created You with Power to Control 'Your Mind'.
“God has Not given us a Spirit of fear, but of Power, Love and a Sound Mind”.
(2 Timothy 1:7).
As I was thinking about these things, God revealed some examples to me (using 4 people I used to know) to show that there is 'No' truth in the 'worldly'
Sayings & Attitudes that if you're Alone you'll loose your Mind.
~ There was a Women that my Wife & I used to know called Sharman, She lived with here elderly mum and she was regularly around lot's of other people.
Many years ago we found out that Sharman had been taken into a Mental Hospital because her Mind had gone and she became dangerous to herself and others.
She had always been around people, but she was Always 'worrying' about things. She had a very negative attitude and wouldn't listen to advice about Not worrying. She Believed in God and she told us she regularly Prayed to Him, but she was a very 'worldly Minded' person, and she didn't really Believe in herself or her own abilities.
~ Another person was a man called Dave who used to live up the road from us.
He was constantly around people and would talk to 'Anybody and Everybody'.
Every day he spent a lot of time with what he called his 'doggy friends'. They all took there dogs for a walk and met up and stood around gossiping.
He had people who used to visit him regularly and he spoke to many people.
But he got Alzheimer's.
Years before he got it, he had told us that he Believed in Go. But it was Very evident to everyone who knew him that his 'Main Focus' in life was dogs. His life revolved around dogs and gossiping.
~ But there was another person we used to know who was Completely different. Her name was Jean. She was a Wonderful Lady who 'Truly' Believed in God.
She spent her Life Devoted to Serving God and Helping others. Even when she was 80 and she was severely ill with cancer, she still had a Joyful Positive attitude every time we saw her, and she continued Doing her Best to Encourage others and Lead them to God in whatever way she could.
Jean spent a Lot of time With God in Prayer, and she Believed that God is 'Always With her'. She was a Very Inspiring, Kind Hearted and Lovely person.
She had lived by herself for many years after her Husband died, and she spent a lot of time Alone, but her Mind had absolutely 'No' signs of madness or cracking up.
Jean went to be with the Loving Lord when she was in her 80's, and the last time we saw her, her Mind was still Fully Alert and Full of Faith & Joy.
~ There was another man we used to know called Bill. He was probably in his 70's and he had lived by himself most of his Life. He was a Wonderful person and Very Inspiring.
He didn't have a TV or computer, and he didn't have a mobile phone, (he used to call them 'Phobile Moans' because people are always moaning when their on their phones).
He Lived a Very Quiet & Simple Life.
He didn't use social media and he stayed away from 'gossiping people'.
He was Truly one of the Nicest, most Pleasant people we've ever known.
He was a Real Joy to be around. We could Clearly see Jesus in him.
He gave off a Wonderful sense of Peace & Calm whenever we were with him.
Bill was Truly Committed to Living his Life for God.
While other people used to stand around complaining about the weather and gossiping about the news, we would often see him by himself in Deep Prayer With God.
He was always Very Polite & Respectful to others.
The conversations we had with him were Very Interesting and Refreshing.
Even though he was in his 70's and spent most of his time 'Alone', there was Clearly Nothing wrong with his Mind.
So God Revealed to me through these 4 people (and there will be others), that what people say about being Alone, (that it makes you go mad), is 'Not' True.
Two of the 4 people were always around other people, yet they ended up with Severe Mental illnesses.
The other two spent a Lot of their time Alone, but their Minds were Peaceful, Clear, and Full of Joy.
What was the difference between them ?
The fist two 'Focused their Minds' on 'worldly' things such as 'worry', 'dogs' and 'gossiping'.
The other two 'Focused their Minds' on God.
What You 'Think' in 'Your Mind' Really does have a Powerful Effect on
'Your Life'. And the devil knows it.
Don't let him 'Trick' you into being fearful by Thinking there's something wrong with being Alone. Because there's Not.
“God did Not give You a Spirit of fear,
but of Power, Love, and a Sound Mind”.
The Truth is,
“You're Never Alone, because God is Everywhere”.
