INFJ - How It Affects My Relationship With God, The World, And The Church

[mattchew]

41 years old and I've struggled this past year with two psychosis episodes (first time ever) that lasted 2-3 months each. Had profound spiritual connection/inspiration, but coming out of psychosis I've struggled to feel that same level of intense connection. Your videos were some of the deep connections I felt as your honesty and clarity resonates with my view of a spiritual connection. I'll never fit in in this world either.

Thank you for putting your views out there for the rest of us to reflect on... it was much appreciated in my darkest hours.

God bless you, brother! Listening to you, is like listening to myself. I, too, was a minister of God, and an INFJ. I struggle with all the changes I see today inside the churches. I come from an old school church. When I move to the place I live now, I haven't been successful in finding a place of worship. Although many fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord are constantly reminding me of the importance of fellowshiping, I can't since having that balance that you spoke about is so important to me. Thank you so much for sharing. It is a blessing to hear others infj's servants of the Lord stories

I am an INFJ & a born again Christian & I can relate to so much of what you have said. Very helpful Pastor Troy! 🙏🏽👏🙌

Yes, so much rings so true....I tried being like others when I was younger.

Joker was right, " Don't talk like one of them, you are not!...Even if you would like to be."

I destroyed myself and others trying. It wasn't pretty.

The Orthodox Church is very appealing to us INFJs because of its old ways and seriousness compared to some churches now days. I attended a Anglican Church and it’s a great place but I feel it’s very surface level compared to when I’ve attended an Orthodox Service. Great video, God Bless 🙏🏻✝️

I am blessed in finding an 'old fashioned' church in 2020. It's like a time warp. I am an INFJ and seem to do quite well there, not that I make a think about my personality.

I have a few questions for you Pastor. Were you “called” to ministry? How do wrestler with wanting to do more? Not that “doing” or “works” has anything to with your faith. I appreciate your honesty. Your words have meant a lot to me. I have to concur with your ideas. At 68 years old I’m struggling with the present change in the Church. I was 13 when I accepted Christ in my life. I grew up in the Church. I’ve served Christ in many ways more than I can remember. I’m finding many pastors today are Narcissists or tendencies. Finding a place to worship is so difficult. I’m not concerned with the music. Not concerned with the people. I can love them all. Finding a Church that preaches the Bible the Word of God is troubling. Reading the Scriptures I’m reminded of how and what it’s going to be like in the last days. I often thought throughout my life I was born for such a time as this. At my age evangelism seems for naught. No one respects my words or Biblical words coming out my mouth. Those words are ingrained in me and that’s how I speak. On an individual level people, strangers come up to me for help. So that’s where I put my focus for Jesus. Allow the Holy Spirit to convict them. Being an INFJ has always been so strange until I learned late in life what it means. It’s no wonder I’ve had three narcissist wives. Satan the devil attacking at our weakest point. If I had it to do over I wouldn’t marry. However I have three wonderful children and three wonderful grandchildren. I raised my children the youngest was about 5 year old. I was poisoned by my childrens mother just shy of 19 years of marriage. I wouldn’t allow a stepmother to interfere and bring more baggage into my children. I waited until my youngest graduated and moved before I succumbed to the pressures of another female relationship. Wow! On my wedding day at rehearsal dinner she announced she didn’t believe in the wedding vows. I prayed to God and promised I would give the marriage 7 years. She would need to prove to me her worth. She did not! I caught her in so many lies. It was too much. After being pushed down cellar steps I had enough. I filed for divorce. Moved to a different state allowed my attorney to handle the divorce. I went no contact on all three. I know this is long I assure you it’s only the Readers Digest version. I have a strong desire to do a service for Jesus that is outside of the norm for someone my age. I’m going to continue to prepare for the adventure. If Christ comes before so be it He knows it’s for Him. I still feel it’s a “calling” on my life. Just like the multitude of others before. Woo Hoo! It’s what gets me moving every day. Keep growing in the Lord! God bless you. Gods grace is sufficient! Watch and wait!

I'm a believing INFJ, too. And I know all these stuff from me also you're talking about :) ... except for, that I'm not a preacher... but they exclude me from the church :-) it's okay

How do you see following your intuition as a Christian INFJ?

Why would a narcissist want to make people even themselves think they are an INFJ
