I Am Upset And I Need To Vent A Bit. Pastor's Quit Telling People To Place Their Hands On The People Next To Them And Pray For Them.

As I stated in the title, I am upset. I am not upset at anyone but myself. I need to get bolder and quit being so polite to appease a pastor. The other evening at church there was a move of God and there were people that gathered at the altar. The people that were sitting around me went to the altar and there was now room in my row and some man stood next to me at church. The first time the pastor said to place your hand on the shoulder of the person next to you I did not place my hand on the man's shoulder or the person to my other side. He did not place his hand upon my shoulder. I was very relieved at that. Then the pastor said it again and this time that man placed his hand on my shoulder without even asking me if it was OK. I turned to the woman on my other side and asked her if it was OK to place my hand upon her shoulder. She nodded OK and I did. As soon as that man placed his hand upon my shoulder I kept saying to the Lord this is not right something was not right with this man next to me. I knew it was not right because I felt this uncomfortable feeling in my lower back area. For whatever reason that is what the Lord allows me to experience when a person that placed their hands upon me without Holy Spirit nudging me that it is OK happens to me.
When I am in a situation like this all I can do is silently keep saying to myself, The blood of Jesus is covering me and I will not receive any transference of spirits. Then that man left and I asked Holy Spirit to please have a move of God/opportunity so I would be able to worship this off of me what seemed to want to attach itself to me. Praise the Lord for that is just what happened there was such a sweet presence of God in the church that I poured my heart out in worship. It was a really good move of God, the kind that His presence is so real that tears flow from your eyes. After this occurrence I was upset with myself for I know better than to allow something like that to happen to me. I am trained in deliverance ministry and I know the outcome when a spirit tries to attach itself to you or tries to siphon out of you the presence of God that you carry with you. I need to just say no when I am placed in these situations.
When will pastors learn in this area? Do they not realize that not everyone that walks into a church is walking with the Lord or I should say right with the Lord. Think of it like this. When there is a human chain formed because everyone in the church or even in the row you are seated in join hands you are now open to receive what is coming down the line through the people. So, If there is a murderer, thief, fornicator, liar, etc. that is now connected to the hand of someone in the line in which you are connected with others, you are now open to receive that stuff into your spirit. Now, on the same hand, if there is a Holy Spirit filled person that walks closely with the Lord you are also open to receive that too. You would not allow your child to sit amongst people that are infected with a deadly disease that is highly contagious would you? No, your job is to protect them from deadly things. So, why would you subject yourself to things that could be harmful to you.
I have done this before at church services, I have stepped back and let the others around me lock hands if that was what they were doing and not be a part of the human chain. I have to get back into the practice of this again. Quit worrying about what others will think, just politely say no. I truly try to protect the anointing in my life and I did a bad job of it the other evening. No more. The anointing is precious to me and I need to guard it better.
Pastor's please be mindful of this, men should not be placing their hands upon women to pray for them that is just not acceptable. Women should also not do that with a man too. When this occurs you are opening up the doors for the enemy to walk right in did you know that? When you have the gentle boldness to say no in situations like that you will be further ahead then when you think to yourself I don't want to rock the boat and just allow it. For you see, If I would have just refused to begin with, the worship that I took part of at the end of the service would have been there to build me up inside. Since I did not have the boldness to withdraw from the prayer I now needed to worhship just to get rid of what came into me. Forgive me Lord for not stepping forth with the boldness that You have placed inside of me.
I share these things with you to help you not make mistakes. When someone has walked down a road or path ahead of me and through experience learned something, I listen to them as to keep me from stumbling in the same thing that the person learned from through their experience.
