62myer, you said:
I do not consider myself to be a prophet. I just want God to be pleased with me and I do not want to betray or disrespect Jesus.
I am weak; I battle thoughts of lust every day; I try to die more and more to myself each day - I am battling and want to be perfect.
Please, let us Pray for each other and communicate with each other so we can grow as spiritual brothers and sisters. Maybe we will never meet each other as long as time is ticking - But, my friends, let us search for each other when Eternity begins and give one-another a big hug.z'
You began this thread with a title that included "prophetic dreams" so to me. this says you believe you are a prophet, someone whom Our Blessed Lord speaks through. Now you say you do not "consider" yourself to be a prophet. So, as a first step in regaining humility to your life, don't try to play both sides of the fence, one with yourself and one with others. Doesn't cut and never will.
Then you say, "you just want God to be pleased with you". Don't we all, bud? You are no different from each of us, a sinner who seeks to gain the grace of our Blessed Lord through our love for Him and His forgiveness. Mankind doesn't need your dreams nor do you, really. Pride is the root cause of folks who believe that God has chosen them to be a special emissary to the world. If you KNOW you are not a prophet, why do you describe your dreams as "prophetic"? You live in a dream world where people believe a man in Topeka is the pope and doesn't want to be called by his first and last name nor do you want others to regard him as such. That is cult worship.
You are not nuts, but you and a few others are hooked on a cult worship much like the Jim Jones cult decades ago.
Your charge, my friend, is to not be huggy and grow as spiritual brothers with us all, but to grow in holiness before a Holy God who is offended by a guy in Kansas and those who worship that man then say they "just want God to be pleased with you". Forums are not a place to sort his out for you, but a long comtemplative retreat at a good retreat center might be a good place to start. Meditate more than you speak or write, reduce your "self" down to where you are a child before God, not some guy who wants to be married and be a priest too? Ya, I want to have it all, right? You need to clear your mind of a lot of prideful garbage, self imposed belief systems and an image that is a false reality.
You noted lustful thoughts? Rid yourself of internet images that trigger these thoughts, look down and don't linger when you see a woman that causes lust, get rid of your TV, don't go to movies, in short, withdraw from the world as much as you can. Don't participate when lust comes on you. It is brief, will pass, and don't give it a place to grow. The more you resist, the stronger you get. The more you give in to it, the more difficult it will be for you to resist. Nothing complicated here, but you must do it.
Finally, don't believe you have wasted anyone's time here. That is the beginning of a cop out for you. Realize that many who have reached out to you have done so because they care for your soul. Some are more harsh than others, so be it. It is up to you from this point. Don't let it be same old, same old. Then you are wasting YOUR time.
