Is Getting A Bad Feeling About Something From God?

[chaoticfirefly]

Sometimes, when I'm around certain people/places who I don't know much about, I get this huge nagging feeling to get away from them. And it doesn't go away until I leave the place/person and I feel a sense of relief.

For example: One of my closest friends started talking to this guy, and right away, I got a really bad feeling about him, just from hearing his name (I brushed it off thinking it was my trust issues with guys, due to my experiences with the ones I met), but when I met him in person thanks to my friend, the feeling worsened and I kept thinking, 'He's a bad person, there's something not right with him.'

A few weeks later, I found out he cheated on my best friend with his ex, getting her pregnant, and got busted for marijuana and other types of drugs.

Whenever I go to Montana to visit my relatives, my mom and I stay at one of my uncles, and I always got this uneasy feeling about his basement, where my cousin's room is. I always got an uneasy feeling about his house, and I always felt afraid to downstairs get to my cousin if he was downstairs and I refused to be alone in that house. Even now, I still do.

Well, a few weeks ago, my cousin was visiting his father and woke up with three large gashes on his back. Literal claw marks on his back. And my mom reported to me that she saw a huge flash of light in my uncles closet (it's not a walk in closet and the only source of light is in the actual room, and it was off).

Whenever I get a bad feeling about someone or a place, I'm always right...

And this coming weekend, my best friend wants me to sleep over at her place, and I instantly heard a voice tell me that I shouldn't go. At first, I thought it was just because of the fact I know she's planning on dragging me to this guys apartment (who she's had sex with on multiple occasions) and getting drunk but I tried to reassure myself that if she does that, my non-alcoholic friend just lives downstairs to and I could ditch them but even now, the feeling hasn't faded. (For the record, I have made it known to all my friends that I don't drink and that I never will.)

SO:

Is getting a bad feeling about something/someone/etc from God?

If it's "always right," it's "always right." You can't do anything about that...and why would you. You should strengthen your holy spirit listening skills and stand firm in the convictions that He's sending you...

If you happen to be wrong, for some reason or another, at one point or another, oh well...but try to learn to trust your instincts/the holy spirits "stirrings." but I do understand how it can be a little...unsettling. still, you should push aside the unease you feel and trust that God is leading you <3

Yes, I say yes it is, God gives us Dicernment, about situations, people, and places. We also have gaurdian angels who help us, the Spirit in us also helps protect us. I have tuned my ear to listen to what the spirit is telling me, I have the same sort of situations happen to me. Our Helper, the Holy Spirit. Did you know the color for the Holy Spirit is Blue?
Always pray about it. Trust God. God gives us many gifts.

Well, wouldn't just assume your non-alcoholic friend will be home or up for receiving a guest...it may be because she won't, that your feeling "don't go", even though she lives downstairs...also sounds like your "best friend", isn't the best kind of influence for you to have...one of you will likely have to join in more with the other for the friendship to go on for long...which may well be why you're being warned about "hanging out" with her, especially if outnumbered by those number to God's Spirit than yourself.

Be thankful for The Lord's warnings...they keep us out of much trouble, when heeded.

May The Lord Be Pleased to Bless !

I do believe this is a gift of the Holy Spirit. The bible does tell us that the Holy Spirit will give each of us a gift, something to help and lead people down the right path. All we need to do is listen and be willing to submit. I believe this is your gift, and I think you'd do well to continue listening as you are proving to be right time and time again.

God bless.
