Reading the comments I am happy to be in the presence of fellow believers and those in community with God. It's a lonely road but I feel the most peace. I can sense God is with me in the quietness. I will never meet any of you but I pray God strengthens you with His perfect love. Amen.
Yes, it can feel lonely sometimes but, we cling on GOD ALONE! ❤️ 🕊 I'm learning to love my husband and sisters where they are at right now. I can't have high expectations of them. What a blessing that GOD ALMIGHTY has open my eyes to the TRUTH that comes from HIM ALONE, HIS WORD IS TRUTH, and full of GRACE AND TRUTH HE IS.. 🙏 🙌 ❤️ I was lost and empty and now I see the TRUTH that he reveals through his living, eternal, powerful WORD 🗡 📖 we are to serve, love and discover GOD ONLY, to bring HONOR and GLORY to HIS HOLY NAME.. THE CREATOR of the UNIVERSE.. ALL GLORY TO GOD ALONE ❤️ noone shares in HIS INFINITE GLORY 🌟 🕊 📖 ❤️ 🌟 GOD OF ALL CREATION!
@@angie-gz8jl amen sister❤️ I’m also going through this struggle. And I’m being guided by God to feel the joy of our reward, that soon awaits us. The race is almost done. Keep praying and loving and fighting spiritual battling for those that are lost.
Shalom
@@TwinklingofaneyeLoveStoryofGod GOD ALONE feels me with a living Hope through HIS LIVING, ETERNAL, POWERFUL WORD that brings life to every believer!! I was truly lost and was looking for joy, peace in the wrong places that I didn't even know I was looking HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD HE ALONE SOUGHT me, this great sinner.. HIS SPIRIT convicted me of my guilt and shame.. JESUS has captured my heart through his gentle and humble spirit..
@@angie-gz8jl Amen, the reality of when we realize that we ran to the wrong places before and now know to stay with God and walk in union with him, proves our spirit that lives in us is his. We are called by him to grow together as one. Thank you for this uplifting edifying this morning. Through his children we are together with him too. It’s so fun to meet a stranger with the spirit of God because their no longer a stranger but a brother/sister in Christ. So we are definitely not alone, not one bit, when we stand together as the body of Christ.
Shalom

Yes, my sister in Christ!
I am a barren widow who lives alone. My four siblings (all in their 60’s), have never picked up a Bible and want nothing to do with me or God-EVEN NOW.
Here’s the good news~
I’m never afraid or lonely. 😘
"After all he is a stranger and a pilgrim, and the journey he takes is not on his feet but in his heart. He walks with God in the garden of his own soul- and who but God can walk there with him?"

Oh thank you for that. Actually wrote that down.
Amen !!!
Thank you for posting this part…. totally hit home for me and I wanted to go back to copy it down.
Yes! And it's wonderful knowing! Amen
Wow! I am seeking the Lord for all He is and loneliness is truly a part of it. This short message completely describes my situation which has been for many years now. I am only writing this to encourage others. If we want to be like Jesus Christ we must suffer and endure what He did. I am believing that that is what the Apostle Paul was talking about when he said “ …in the fellowship of His sufferings…” Philippians 3:10.
My experience exactly.
Loneliness is the first step from which aloneness springs. I have always been okay with aloneness. As an artist, writer, being solitary is a big part of the process- add in following in the steps of Jesus- after years of unmitigated Loneliness, I came back to aloneness, and am okay with that.
WOW!!! This message is very very powerful. I am very alone even with my husband but I am not alone because I have Jesus. Most people don't know what I have been through and only Jesus understands me and I am content with that. I love my alone time with Jesus it gives me comfort and joy.
@@gailmassicotte9871 your story sounds just like mine and I cherish my private time too so I can totally fill it with Jesus. God bless you, sister 🙏🏻
@JamesJohn
This speaks to me from Holy Spirit like an answer to a question.
I do not
I have lived this life for forty years but I never feel alone. I have so much to say but no one understands me.So am quiet but very peaceful. This has been the lord’s plan for me I read pilgrim’s progress years ago and my life has been like him.But Jesus has been my father through all of it.
Me too brother
If a man can not or will not discipline himself in being alone with God, he will soon find himself polluted by the thoughts and actions of those with whom he seeks comfort.
True peace comes from communing with God alone. The byproduct is a healthy man who seeks to give in community rather that seeking comfort from community.
Só true. Sounds like something the desert Fathers would say.
@Pure Blooded P Well Said!👍🏽🙂🙏🏽
Amen!
@@jamesjohn1850 it is.
@@jamesjohn1850 Yes. Oswald Chambers said this also.
I think that lonliness comes when you realize that nothing this world has to offer satisfies,so we look to the Lord Jesus and he does satisfy.
Indeed, I am facing a dilemma in my life where I am given an option to either conform to the world or to be lonely but complete in God....I think I just got my answer, thank God for the sharer of such a timely word!
That will be your dilemma until you step into eternity. But He will give you grace
In solitude the voice of The Most High whispers gently.
Isaiah 43:2
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
The Holy Spirit spoke that to me years ago, before I even knew it was a scripture. He recalls it to me as I go through these lonely, yet purifying times. 🙏🏾💕
The Lord also spoke this scripture to me 10 years ago, I was crying out to God, told him I needed to hear from him. Later that day I was looking on line for a new picture with scripture on it for my new home and there was a beautiful picture that had MY NAME on it and that scripture it said: 😭
MICHELLE
when thou passers through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when though walkest through the fire , thou shalt not be burned, neither the flame shall kindle thee. 😭😭🙏❤️
I have hung on to this scripture all these years. God you are sooo good!!

Wow. I enjoy Tozer. This hits home for me.. but I will endure, persevere and overcome. I would rather be lonely and give God my everything.

Encouraging. No one wants to talk about the things I always think about. Pretty isolated. Walking with God sounds like the best thing ever. I've went with actual walks with HIM before. I think HE has a playful side. Deadly serious though. Doesn't play games.
yes i agree with you definitely a playful side ive laughed with him many a times!!😂😂
Yes. The Holy Spirit, who is the Father’s spirit, has a sense of humor. 😄💕

@Angel Cox Shalawm sister, Yah bless, many mercies and blessings to you in the name of Yahshua.
This is bittersweet. Encouraging in that all my live I've blamed myself for my loneliness but now come to understand it is part of following hard after God. A little sad in that it will always be that way. The Apostle Paul warned us, "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine." Eph. 4:14 There are so many perverted doctrines among Christians today. To refuse false teaching and stand for truth is a recipe for loneliness.
There's a difference between loneliness and feeling alone. I walk completely alone, no church to attend in catholic Ireland, With a Holy Spirit filled soul, putting Jesus Christ first every day, it has been a very long time since i felt lonely. Life in the last days is full of demonic attacks. I know we must realise God's purpose for our lives. We must strive to do what he asks of us. Loneliness comes from a void that only the Holy Spirit can fill. I received that gift by the Grace of God. I was so unworthy. The whole truth has been revealed but my soul knew it already. The world is a demon infested pit. I can relate to every single word. Only a truely saved Christian will get it. I'm well ready to go home when the Lord calls me.
There are no Catholic Churches in Ireland??
@@clairet5636 no...he meant there are only Catholic Churches.
This is a message I so desperately needed to hear. It helps me understand.
I really appreciate the written words as well as the audio. Autism makes just the spoken word harder for me to understand but being able to read it while listening really helps.
I had a son who was autistic, I knew he was lonely and I knew he understood but could not express it and he loved the Lord Jesus!
@@matthewklein7231 I have a son who is Autistic. He is the sweetest soul, desperate to really know His saviour and hear His voice 🙏🏿
It's strange, I never minded being alone before I was saved, Jesus Christ broke all my addictions and sinful lifestyle completely as I grow and learn more every day. Though I'm lonely now, I have friends and brothers, I go to Bible study but now feel so alone. I'm not sure if it's the work of the enemy or not but God put this video on my feed for a reason. I won't give up on Jesus nonetheless.
Me too. After I was saved I asked God for fellowship and he gave it to me, but I’m still quite lonely every other day. I’m learning to spend more time with God alone and to value it.
We are all being tested......the enemies time is short & he knows it.
His only desire is causing God n God's children pain.
The enemy's way to drag you to hell is to give you exactly what you want so you feel no need to seek Him. You would feel too self satisfied.
Ask the Lord (Christ Jesus) God Himself....with your most sincere heart....to make you become the person God!! wants you to be. If you are really a "called out" one...you will surely hear from God.
@@sabgoncalco748 He rarely speaks to me, I think. I think He's going to send me into a relationship. I'm really introverted and this lonely period has given me a great desire to talk to women 🙂. I'll post here if I find someone.
It's encouraging to hear truth I don't wish this kind of call to be on anybody even though I wish we all had that call thank you Jesus you're our leader your comfort you are the one that paid the price and enabled us to do this thank you
Thanks, me being alone was heavy on my mind today. I actually don’t mind being alone but was thinking my world,in this fallen world seems to get smaller and smaller since I can’t relate to it and the majority in it but I don’t feel bad because I believe it’s Gods path for me, like Jeremiah.
So well said! So true! It’s like you saw into my heart and read it out loud. Gives me the strength to carry on, even if alone and rejected.
This message describes what I feel to a T. I have always felt that I am weird for feeling like this but this message has validated me. It is a necessary path for all saints.
It's been a tough life walk. People I loved have turned on me or left. I have loved the best I can. I'm in prayer always. Please Lord help open doors for me for my good and Your Glory. 💜
I told God that I felt lonely tonight. I am almost always alone but seldom feel lonely. But tonight, I felt lonely. And this is what popped up on my feed. Thank you.
@Meu Deus é Fiel agreed
Finally, someone put perfectly into words what I’ve struggled w/ for years. It’s manifested itself in countless ways from being angry w/ the world, misunderstood by others, overwhelmingly sad for humanity..it’s a sense of unbearable loneliness because it’s not something we can “fix” or do. The issues always seemed out of my hands, but I’ve come to realize that serving is indeed about surrendering. Alone we truly can’t combat the wickedness & snares of this world, but once we truly embrace Gods love & let the Spirit work then we begin to move. Only then did all make sense. We truly are warriors, wanders sent to share everything that’s been revealed to us. Jesus is the rock that’s higher than I, & it’s easier to see past the chaos & commotion when your not being tossed like a ship upon the ocean. It’s the forest through the trees, or the outside looking in. Every step in your life has led you to where you are today, & all the lonely souls will find themselves right where God has planned for them to be when it’s time to drive out the darkness of this world.

TOZER HAS EXPLAINED THIS TOPIC WITH SUCH CLARITY. SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE !!! I WILL NEVER ASK THIS QUESTION AGAIN.
TOZER HAS GIVEN ME A VERY SATISFACTORY ANSWER. GLORY B 2 GOD !!!
Jesus is a closer friend than your closest brother ❤️
To have everlasting life you absolutely must trust in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation!
while i am full of sorrows, pain, suffering, and i'm attacked by haters in the flesh only, i'm not lonely nor am i ever attacked by demons as i hear so many people ARE (sleep paralysis, etc.)..all my demons are of the secret society variety - cia mafia goons and their friends ....i pray unceasingly, and i so never feel alone cuz i am NOT alone - i have no doubts ever that the holy spirit is with me and i'm full of gratitude and a quiet joy and relief that i've learned so much about this realm and by Gods WORDS. My church consists of anyone who i meet while i'm out and about doing errands and i have may amazing discussions and some near miracles happen, too - i dont fit in in ANY church at this point and i'm hood with this reality. am also older in years, which i'm glad about despite the challenges the body will sometimes have - prayer fasting takes all these problems away!! I hope this helps any reader on their own journey here in satans realm.🙄💔

Set apart is not lonely. Walking with God, you’re never alone, though it feels like it sometimes. So worth it.
This is everything I feel but can't express.
It took me decades to find this and be at peace with my KING of KINGS.👑💪
I guess that I never understood why other Christians just seemed so oblivious to things that I knew, that seemed to come so easily to me. I never understood why God would show me and not them. I still don't completely understand it.
Right? Like how do you not get/see that? Oh well. Be bless!

i dont doubt that God and/or angels arranges for certain channels or video's to appear in our online yt streams, especially for when we who need a certain message/messenger for spiritual food coming from youtube!...same as angels appearing especially for us while out and about...i now have NO doubt about this as a way of, a fact and truth about, my life now! More of a comfort than any words can express.
💔🙏😮
No wonder why I lost conversion. Sent this to theologian but he didn’t agree…but now with understanding of how to read and write, can agree with Tozar 100%. Part of conversion experience….and this helps to understand it.
The Lord Force isolated me so that he could work with me. I lost my home of 17 years during the pandemic and had to go live with my brother. I am on a second floor and crippled. I'm in a different city and I am alone except for my brother and my oldest son but there are always not here. So to make the long story short, I have been isolated for 2 years and I was alone a lot before that but I'm extremely isolated now and it was so the Lord could work with me and have alone time with me. It was for my benefit to be alone and still is. It's normal to feel very alone at times but I don't really feel lonely. That's a whole different feeling. I have not been in a relationship for 10 years nor would I be now. I would rather be alone with my Lord. It's hard to find people that would be anywhere near compatible when you have joined yourself with him. I will not look for them and I never did before but evil ones found me and then convinced me to have relationships with them and I didn't understand what was happening. So 10 years ago I decided no more! Absolutely no more. Praise our holy and mighty father and his knowledge and peace and grace. May we someday be with him and enjoy it to its fullest. Then we will never like for company ever!
This describes me perfectly; every bit of it! I wasn't always like this but after 2008 it became official. But even back in the old days I still felt like I didn't fit in anywhere, but I still managed to live a fairly normal life. It's simple, really; 99% of the globe loves sinful pleasures, money, and are selfish. They want nothing to do with God. That's the reality. And I see it everyday now.
Globe 🧐 (research biblical/hebrew cosmology)
You're alone but you're loneliness is not the truth because you have the spirit of God living inside you that's why Jesus didn't have to worry he said you're all leaving but my father won't leave me
This writer hit the nail on the head. When you follow Christ for real, the world doesn't want much to do with you. But fortunately, The Lord and God are good company (though you still wish to run into one who's carrying the cross too, but unfortunately, there's too far and few that really follow God).
Christians who mix right in with the world and get accepted, their relationship with God does little for the growth of the kingdom. They're stuck between sinner and saint and God said that He's spitting them out.
Real believers have 1 goal: to do what's right by loving and obeying The Lord and God. So much goodness annoys those in the world who have desires to follow their own way (which any other way besides God's way is the wrong way).
Christians are here to bond with everyone in the love of Christ, but the feelings of the world are not mutual.
May God soften hearts and open Spirits to be receptive to His ways so that we can finally live up to how humans should be: in the identity of God's love.
Understanding in a great way about LONELINESS and purpose of God in being lonely. Thank you
Glory to god almighty
God never abandoned anyone.
The Saint does not walk alone, he walks with God.

Awesomeness! The Lord surely led me here today. Ty.🙏🏽💚🙂👍🏽
vision: I panicked when I heard "walk alone" until he said he'd never leave my side. then when I got relief, I stayed with him only looking for companionship in others, until I realised I was liking him so much I wanted more of him around me. then I figured contentment with his presence is what Israel needed to stay out of trouble
Wow 'contentment with his presence ' that really resonates in a world so rarely satisfied
It is a very very painful lesson to learn and to accept,they all forsook him and fled ,that exactly what has happened to me ,my own family ,rejected me !
Love you brother keep going.
Walk with Christ Amen ✝️🙏♥️
Fellowship is what many have been exposed to throughout life but your understanding uniqueness is what goes with you throughout life. It may or may not be your path. God Blessings to all. 🛡🙏🏼♥️🕊
From my early years i spent time alone with God learning learning ! I enjoy be alone listening to news classical music 🎶
Have you ever felt lonely in church? Because you dare to take Jesus seriously when he speaks of denying self, taking up the cross, forsaking ALL to follow him? Because you choose to live this way? Yes, the narrow road is lonely....
I have experienced this only in a vision. Afterwards in my life I had the privilege of walking with Jesus as I encountered the life of suffering and I found joy in accepting these experiences in my life. Not only did I experienced trials and crosses but as well as blessings and rewards coming from God who is so good and full of love which I share to my fellowmen for the glory of His name. Amen
True this walking alone drives you ever closer to Christ
Amen!!! I understand all of this, and it was an encouragement, thank you for the uplifting word! Amen!!!👑🌟👑✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’ve been listening to this message over and over for quite a while now because it’s definitely describing how I am .. sometimes it feels like I’m the only one in the world but that’s because I’m set apart … I get it now 🙌🏽🔥🙏🏾
After listening to this, at 39 am finally making peace with the fact that I am different not better than others,not superior but different. I have been trying to fit in for so long it is tiring and leaves me drained.
Well said..All in all -the reality of the Journey.No, it is not how holy the lonely person is, it is about longing of a sinner for the Presence...which brings further actions: compassion for others, desire to help in need..which only Jesus,the Living Savior is able to give.He does it all..Today one mother of 3 children told me she feels lonely...O, my beloved child..! He is waiting for the date...
(HUG)This is a blessing from Heaven! walking in the Spiritual realm, in your heart, longing to bring your family and others to be filled with His precious Holy Spirit of peace and joy, aswe are being rejected, we then realize what a MIRACLE we received, and we want to share our MIRACLE with others, we soon realize it is only Yeshua/Jesus Christ Who can reveal Himself to them and change them. He will change their unbelief---> into true BELIEF! Lord, we pray for all our families, and all the unbelievers, asking You to breathe LIFE into them in Yeshua/Jesus Name, Amen, so be it.
Matthew 13:57-58
King James Version
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Colossians 2:14-15
New Century Version
14 He canceled the debt, which listed all the rules we failed to follow. He took away that record with its rules and nailed it to the cross. 15 God stripped the spiritual rulers and powers of their authority. With the cross, he won the victory and showed the world that they were powerless.
Amen!

This is lovely and so needed :) 💓
Galatians 6:3-7 KJV
[3] For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. [4] But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. [5] For every man shall bear his own burden. [6] Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. [7] Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

So.. do you disagree with this video?
Absolutely agree with 🙌✝️🙌
Very well said also high understanding and being compassionate leads to loneliness!
Set apart. Amen.
More than even loneliness, it is aloneness. Aloneness allows our connection with God. It allows us to feel his power, and even channel his power when he commands. In the last 4 years, between being a target of an ongoing hate crime and the Covid situation, I have had no time to connect with my Lord and have peace. I do agree that the aloneness can become loneliness, when seeking the face of God and they do now show. When one has given up everything, and God's time is not the same as ours.
Same....extremely lonely,just never fitted in..!

I’m in good company with this message
Now I don’t feel so bad about being a loner
My friends it’s much more, I don’t know how I know, but I know.
I can’t even say to you what I would like, it’s too much for even me.
But I can say stay on Gods path, it’s not easy but not because it’s a difficult path but because we walk it blindly by faith, but only trust that you must keep going, it’s what God wants.
God is good!!! 👍😁
Many churches should take heed to this teaching, and stop trying to tell everyone to keep the saints gathered. Not everyone can be with the gathering, not everything the church suggests is God's will either. The true gathering will be in Heaven with Jesus and his true saints. Especially these days. There is more to spending time in God's presence than in the company of others.
This is a good description of the lonely Christian walk .
I detest the Western world culture as it is now and has been for a long time. I'm generalising of course but having travelled to SE Asia in my younger days , their family ties and friendly communities who welcomed me in the middle of nowhere , was a eye opener to the warmth of strangers , one to another. I came out of my shell and felt 'almost normal' and free .
Now 64 years young single but for two dogs I regret not returning and laying down roots over their.
Here in the UK, for me it's a most definitely lonely walk . One or two Christians in the past were open to sharing their inner journey, and I could open up too .
Not now .
Even the internet hasn't opened any avenues for sharing with one or two , deeper things .
I often long for the end of this journey. I have experienced the fruit of the Spirit at times , though looking back I wonder if it was because I was in some kind of Christian fellowship with some others .

You sound like me brother. I'm UK also

Hi Keith. I'm in West Yorkshire. I'm 69 in 10days. It's a little like Elijah in the cave ' there's only me '. There is in fact, loads of us. We need the very fine balance between needing each other, and the practicality of being sold out for Him.
@@martinbradley6528 Happy 69th Birthday to come Martin.
I have to trust in Christ Jesus being 'all sold out for me' . He is faithful when I am not .
I do my best and let Him do the rest. Though in reality. without Him I can do nothing , even my best .
I've never been to Yorkshire though I've met a few men and women born and bred there .

Absolutely TRUE. AMEN.
Thank you for posting this wonderful excerpt from Tozer---and yes, by including the text you made it easier to follow.
Wow!! This spoke the cry of my heart!! ❤️🙏🏽
Romans 11:
3 (Elijah) Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
LONELINESS IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF A PERSON. IT IS THE ABSENCE OF MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION.
LOYALTY IS THE LANGUAGE OF KINGS.
LOYALTY IS BASED ON TRUST.
TRUST IS ROOTED IN CONSISTENCY.
CONSISTENCY IS BEING IN THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME.
TRUST IS THE CORNERSTONE IN THE TEMPLE OF SURRENDER.
SURRENDER IS THE SCAFFOLDING FOR SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP.
SURRENDER IS A SWEET SMELLING SAVOR TO KINGS.
SURRENDER LEADS TO INTIMACY.
INTIMACY LEADS TO THE INCUBATION OF A MAN'S SPIRIT.
THIS INCUBATION EITHER PRODUCES THE FRUIT OF THE WOMB OR SPIRITUAL FRUIT.
“A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad. 34You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say. 35A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. 36And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. 37The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”
YOU BECOME LIKE WHOEVER YOU SPEND THE MAJORITY OF YOUR TIME WITH.
Thank you for this much needed encouragement 🤗
Very helpful and provocative. I agree with much, except the part about blaming oneself for one's loneliness. I think that is very true in the early stages but, as you mature, you just come to accept that as a part of life.
