Any other Christians ever feel awkward about God and angels always seeing and being with you?

God is not a man. God is holy and He created ALL things so He does not think like us as far as "checking us out"\nGod is looking at your heart.\nSatan is the one that wants to give you a complex and make you think that God and His Angels are staring at you\nas if you were an object of curiosity.\nDon't let the devil blow your mind.\nGod is Love and His love is pure and not one of fear.\nI never think of God nor His Angels in that way as a  "peeping tom"\nGod is a Spirit.\nWhen you see a new-born baby without clothes, getting changed, you don't think of the baby as an object to be\ngawked at. You see the baby as an innocent creature.\nThat's how God sees His children.\nHe knows all things even before we do so why not trust in Him and not worry about the physical aspects of our being. Whenever this thought comes up again, rebuke the devil and say "Get lost Satan!"\nAnd never think that God doesn't understand that we are human beings, for He made us.\nAngels are not human beings. They don't know the first thing about "nakedness" and have no interest in your\nbody except to help you take care of yourself.\nSo, laugh off your silly fears and be a good person and all will be well.

well i think we all need to fear him at some point b/c when you really think about it is rath that could come down on you like when you die and you see your judge ment that is coming to you....I mean GOD is the crater of all living things that in its self is pretty breath taking....he was the on to cast satan and some of the other angles out of heaven too....so i try to live my life as a new christian and hope that i will not ever see that but just be filled with joy and happyness that it say the we will have when we get to the kindom of heaven....

I think your questions count as preaching, but I can tell you that I am not interested in a relationship with Jesus or the Christian God.  I do feel complete.  I do not feel vulnerable and alone - my beliefs empower me and surrounds me with the protections I need to enjoy my life.  Even with an army on your side, anyone can feel scared from time to time - but I am very safe in my understanding of the Universe.\n\nThe things is, that even in a Christian God model philosophy the point is not to life your live for god - the point is to understand your own divinity and to understand that you and god are a team.  If god is an ocean, we are each and everyone of us a glass of god, with tremendous power and divine right - no matter what we call this being.  To spend time steeped in any church dogma only brings you closer to understanding the church, not god.  \n\nI am glad that Christianity has helped you and I rejoice that you are happy on your chosen path.  I regret that you feel you need to school others or that you feel you have the only answer to the mysteries of life.  There is no way to truly know the Unknowable and there are many paths to enlightenment.  Worry about your own soul until someone asks you for help if you truly want to display the virtue of christianity.\n\nPeace!

Most of the time is means they are crazy, but sometimes God does send angels to help us. God could have told them to do anything like He told Moses to lead his people out of Egypt or like how He talked to Job. I hope this helped you!

It happens- I wondered away from God for 20 years, but God patiently waited for me to come back and I feel a closeness I never thought possible. To feel closer to God, try to incorporate your spirituality into your daily life- if you hold the elevator for someone, silently think to yourself I do this for you Lord, If you help a stranger or do any act of kindness, do the same thing. It will bring your focus back to God. Be Blessed, God loves you and will never abandon you. God will patiently wait for you. I know from experience.

It is okay if you think I am nuts but here goes.I talk to God by prayer, sometimes silently and sometimes outloud. God talks to me occassionaly at His time frame, In other words I don't have to be in a prayerful or spiritual mood for Him to speak. I cannot explain it but when He speaks to me, it is not silent in my head and it is not audible so that others can hear it but it is clearly audible to me.So yes, I have a relationship with Him. I also can feel His prescense in my life.Look to John 8:47,& 10:26-30 Jesus stated my sheep hear my voice and they know me(Jesus) and follow me. God may not communicate with everyone the same as He does with me but if you do not hear His voice in some manner then you don't know Him. My relationship with Him indeed started out as faith but you are correct in the change that takes place. I cannot prove this relationship to anyone but to me it is fact. You can not achieve fact without first having faith.

I feel....well....\n\nSAVED.\n\n"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." 1 Cor. 1:18

Yes, I have. Once when I was really upset I was talking to God and I felt someone hug me and I knew it was God. The inner pain I was feeling left and I felt much better.

what bothers me is being and feeling trapped by my past and my old ways of thinking. i cant seem to get it all toghether. i know that i will because God has me in his hands. he is the reason everything else is ok its just that in the meantime it is stressfull fighting this same old battle.

No but I have heard of that. I think my uncle had that feeling when he was little...it was in a dream but he felt something different. Whenever that happnens, I think it means u have a very special role in life with God. This is from my point of view. Some people will not believe you and some may say that you are crazy BUT I believe you.

I really understand how you're feeling because I have been in similar situations.\nDon't ever let anyone push you into something. The Holy Spirit is not pushy and will not use pressure to get you to do something you're uncomfortable with.\nDo whatever feels right to you, not what people are expecting you to do.\nJust listen to your own heart and let the Holy Spirit guide you, not other people's behavior.\n\nIf you want God to give you the kind of joy, that you see others experiencing, you can ask Him for it. \nDoesn't mean your gonna be laughing or dancing. We're all different and act differently even in church. I'm not the jumping-around type myself and I never will be. I have experienced moments of indescribable joy though.\nGod's joy is available to you and if you want it, all you have to do is ask.

I'm sorry for what happened to you as a child. I feel that many, many, many organized religions hide behind the word of God. They all preach the word but do not care to live by it. God is real sweetheart, and you seem to be a very strong person. Keep your faith in HIM and he will carry you through. It may not seem like it to you because of all the evil in the world today, but hold true to HIM. In the end Jesus will call out your name. Good Luck and don't give up on God, for God has not given up on people yet.

Yes, you not only have a self-esteem problem, but a spiritual one also!  Just so you know.....you were made a little lower than the Angels...not one of God's animals...which would not be saying too much for God!\n\nLook in the mirror AGAIN and repeat this 3 x's!\n  \nMirror, mirror on the wall,\nWho's the fairest of them all;\nwhy, it must be me, 'cause I'm the only\none in the mirror I see!!\n\nThis is not vain or selfish, just a self-esteem BOOSTER!\n\nGod Bless You!

Yes. I have a very difficult time forgiving myself for many of my shameful actions, even though I've asked the Lord for forgiveness. In fact, some of the things that I regret I still ask forgiveness for, many years later. I know I don't need to, but I just feel so incredibly terrible about those things. I want so badly to be the person that God wants me to be. I want to have Christ-like qualities. It is so hard for me to understand why I can't get there! I struggle almost everyday with self control (especially control over my tongue). I would give pretty much anything to consistently maintain my self control, and yet I can't without God's help. I have found that if I forget to pray before I go to sleep (and thus forget to sincerely ask the Lord to allow His Holy Spirit to be with me every second of the following day to help me with self-control), I have a very hard time the next day. If I do ask, it's so much easier - I mean VASTLY different. I don't know why it seems as though God wants me to request help every night, but I'm sure He has a reason. Probably to get me to rely on Him more. That would be a good reason. When I lose my self-control and yell at my little ones, I feel so much remorse. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so my 4 and 2 year old are the ones who try my patience.  :o)  That is to be expected, and is not their fault (sometimes it is, but not usually)! I want to be a calm and predictable mommy, but it's very hard for me. That's all I have to say, as I am tired now and need sleep.  :o)

I have definetly felt the pressence of GOD. Right before Christmas in 2004, our first ond onlt child, a son, passed away. This was a very hard time for my husband and I, and we stopped going to church. We didn't celebrate Christams that year, and my husband started to smoke cigarettes again. I quit my job to stay home, because being around people was so ahrd. I tried to convince myself that everything was okay.\n\nAbout a month after he passed away, i was going through some of his old belongings and looking at his phot album. I broke down, and it felt good. I dont know what it was for sure, but i felt like someone was hugging me; i felt warm, happy, and that everything was going to be okay. I like to think that our son is our gaurdian angel. \n\nGod has recently blessed us with a new baby boy. I think our first son saw how sad we are, and told GOD to give us another baby....

I believe they do.  Once, I was having a difficult time during lent, and an angel came to comfort me.  His arm was like a sheild, but I didn't see him.  His presence was instant peace.\n\nAnother time, I felt as if a Dire Wolf was in the same room as me, ready to tear me apart.  It was a frightening experience.  I very nearly forgot to breathe!  I could see it infront of me if I closed my eyes.\n\nMaybe I have an over-active imagination, but it seemed to me that it was real.  The presence of these ethereal creatures was tangible, and outside of myself.  It's kind of like walking out into the sunshine from the dim interior of the house.  The atmosphere changes.\n\nPlus, I've read all kinds of stories of how people were saved by guardian angels, or tormented by demons.

I am a Christian too and I've noticed the same thing. I'm not sure why they do it but I try to spread God around and be real about my faith.
