Being Alone is Hard! Some Happy Tips - Dr. Gene Kim

so I know that there's a lot of Bible believers online who are probably lonely they don't have a Bible believing Church to go to or they don't know what it's like in the outside world so this teaching is for you which is gonna be important all right let's talk with Genesis chapter 2 first of all you understand there's God God's intention was man to not be alone okay it's not good look at Genesis chapter 2 and we will read verse 18 and the Lord God said it is not good that the man should be alone I will make him and help meet for him okay so what's important to understand as we all live alone in our world it's not good for a man to be alone when you're all alone as Bob Jones senior said and I don't mind is the devil's workshop when you're all alone especially what where it's Idol that gives plenty of time for thoughts to run in your mind and who attacks your mind it's Satan and the devil's right 2nd Corinthians 10 verse 5 give us a lot of time for them and what happens that it builds up a lot of depression it builds up a lot of complaining attitudes and all of this also it builds up a stage where you're very awkward you lose confidence and not only that where you become awkward awkward where you lose confidence it also gets rid of an important thing that's important as a Bible believer it's faithfulness staying faithful to God's work now some of you are doing fine being alone and you don't have these symptoms I'm not talking about you good for you there are Bible believing Christians out there who I can't imagine and I went through that a little bit in my life too I can't imagine how they were able to keep pressing on for God by themselves and that's been often but you're gonna find out when you read a lot of these Bible believing heroes that you heard about when you read their diary one of the most common complaints and the hardest things they went through is not just suffering but you'll see loneliness guaranteed it's always loneliness so when these signs show up it's not a good thing so I want to give you some tips on how to handle loneliness first of all you understand that wasn't God's intention all right God's intention is for you not to be alone so that's why I go to Hebrews 10:25 hebrews chapter 10 verse 25 and I don't like it when there are some people out there or self-righteous so-called Bible believers who attack this verse saying oh we don't believe in church and church and stuff like that and no it's important that you have this gathering together and not just online I mean actual real life people you need that okay so here are some things that can help you first of all is this go to church all right that's the best advice ever to solve loneliness that's the best advice is Hebrews 10:25 of course all have sinned and come short of the glory of God no one is perfect but trust me is you need people around you to at least give you a 20% a spiritualness if 80 percent is something fleshy and even wrong okay you need some sort of spiritual Jews from somebody and you add one person plus another person plus another person it helps you a little bit more okay you really need to gather God commanded that it's a command actually not an option not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is but exhorting one another and so much the more as you see the Day approaching notice when you come to church it's exhorting one another see that it encourages each other it helped me many times as a pastor I know that you know that in church you know we might have a spiritually weaker people but I'm gonna tell you the honest truth it doesn't matter how much spiritually advanced I am more than you I can't tell you how much of the blessing it is when I have a couple Christians in the church and that keeps your pastor going throughout the rest of the week really does even one it really does it really does it's truly encouraging so go to church now a lot of you online are saying well there's no Bible believing Church near me what I'd recommend is this is that I always recommended this to people go to our resources link please okay go to our resources link and you'll see a church directory there click on that church directory and you'll find a Bible believing Church and if that doesn't work then just throw in a comment or email me and I always respond to those people about where to go if I haven't yet with some of you then it's by chance a good chance I may have missed the email because there's a large volume so please feel free to comment on this video or send me an email so that's why we're online that's why we're here for you see the Lord set our online ministry out there because there aren't other Bible believing ministries doing that so we're the ones trying to do it for you reach it out for you and get you involved with the church all right so contact us alright the second point is Mark chapter one go to mark chapter one mark 1 you'll read verse 35 mark chapter 1 verse 35 now this one's in a very important point take advantage of your loneliness now okay you gotta learn to take advantage of your loneliness sometimes loneliness can be a better thing for you you understand because look at mark chapter 1 verse 35 the reason why is this the best way to have fellowship with God is isolation there's nothing better with the closer walk with God then you shut off all the dumb internet noise shut off that technology show off all your chats and the people turn off that cell phone so you don't talk to anybody isolate yourself from people around you from sin just go yourself in your own spiritual closet so to speak and just open up the King James Bible right right in front of your lap and that's the best fellowship you'll ever have is isolation with God total isolation with God without distractions that's the best thing you can ever have I my best advice is if you know a park or a nice location that's nearby you go to that spot and look at God's creation and open up the Bible and read his word and spend some time in between like talking to him - that is the most beautiful thing the best thing you can ever have look at mark chapter 1 verse 35 the Bible says right here and in the morning rising up a great while before day he went out Jesus went out and departed into where a solitary place why did he do that and there prayed so you can finally talk to God in isolation because look at verse 34 he was so busy with people look at verse 36 after his isolation with God he was again busy with people okay the best time is that you get isolated from everybody and just talk to the Lord and trust me your relationship with God increases when there's no distractions from the world do you ever know why did you ever notice why Buddhist monks and Catholics monk they emphasize this isolation solitary thing because they believe that kind of isolation will get them closer to their God see that's why they get really holy minded so to speak but unfortunately it's for the wrong way and they got a wrong belief and they also have a wrong salvation so they do it all wrong but you Christians have it all right so you got an advantage right there now go to proverbs 18 proverbs chapter 18 I can't tell you enough that isolation is very important for your communion with God it's really the best thing you can ever experience it's truly that song I come to The Garden alone while the dew is still on the roses and the voice I hear falling on my ear the Son of God discloses and he talks with me and he talks with me and he tells me I am his own and the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known you know why it's all by yourself I come to The Garden alone and then I love that third verse where it says God says but he bids me go through a voice of low even though I want to stay in the garden longer with him but God says no you gotta go you know why our souls to get saved we got a fellowship with the Brethren in the church see but see I want you to understand that's how important your isolation is so don't think of as discouragement okay proverbs 18 verse 24 now this is just common sense to a man that hath friends must show himself what friendly okay now this is common sense that even lost people know the reason why you don't have friends is you're not friendly now you gotta understand this is that what's really unfortunate sad I never seen people who cost fights and fusses more about and nitpicky about stupid things than people who grow more knowledge in the world see because you're always picking something to fight with and when you do that that's not showing yourself friendly and you don't have any friends you know how to trust me when you're living right for God they'll leave you you don't have to leave them you don't have to start the fight you don't have to act like the jerk okay let them be the one causing the separation let God be the one you don't have to be the one all right in the meantime you be friendly okay and that means everybody including lost people now you might say why is that pastor I thought they're supposed to be separation separation when it comes to wrong influence and it when it comes to wrong doctrine those two things sin and doctrine where they influence you you're supposed to separate but other than that you're supposed to stay with them so you can lead them to Christ and I showed you verses on that a long time ago in videos Luke I mean Jesus Christ he hang around with publicans and sinners so that he can lead them to Christ 1st Corinthians chapter 10 Paul even said if at lost sinner bids you go to a feast go with them as long it's done for the glory of God see as long it's not sin or wrong doctrine that in fluencies you be friendly with as many people as possible all right I would go even these big family meetings all right and I'm good and you know I get a good time you know sometimes my family members will they'll show me off you know MIT Harvard and stuff like that I think that's kind of trying to pressure me to go maybe that's why but you know I'll have a good time with them and then we hang around with family members I catch up with my cousins and all that and nearly all of them nearly all of them are lost people drinking I'm like one the only one that's drinking water see that but see I'm not the thing is you gotta make friends our people around you and apostate Christians to even apostate Christians but trust me you can use some communication and good times in game and fun and eating out okay you need that you need that because how else can you lead them to Christ right what are you gonna do how are you gonna sneak them bible-believing truth right how are you gonna be a testimony where they can see you and maybe they can become a Bible believer like you right so this is important be friendly well you know I'm just not that type of person that's why you have no friends a man the Hat friends must show himself friendly look ah I gotta tell you this I am a goofball and awkward too and I'm very shy I know that's hard to believe but you know why that's hard to believe now cuz I worked on being friendly and guess what I made a lot of mistakes and I'm a goofy guy I would look like the clumsy person but went the more and more I talked with people and communicated it also caught me off that awkwardness and made me kind of learn about common sense now on how to deal with people and actually that becomes very important to do better in soul-winning you see that that becomes better to even teach the Bible see because you know what playing-field they're at why else did some of you watch me online when I came across really thorough arguments on something because I dealt with those kind of people see okay so in order to not suffer loneliness that's why these three things are very important and the fourth thing which is going to be important concerning about isolation it's not just fellowship with God it's not just uh you got to make sure that you spend time in the church so you don't go alone make sure that you become friendly with other people too but a fourth thing is this a fourth thing that you understand concerning isolation is that when you are isolated by yourself you should spend that time to take advantage now that's very important now what do I mean by taking advantage the Bible says will turn over there will turn over there so we'll look at first Timothy chapter 6 first Timothy 6 I wasn't gonna turn there but might as well well there 1st Timothy chapter 6 and then we'll look at verse 17 for 17 knows the last part but in the Living God who giveth us richly all things to enjoy so you got to realize this it doesn't matter who you are God has given you everything in this world and in this life to enjoy now just because you're isolated that doesn't mean that you're bored just because you're isolated doesn't mean that you're sad and depressed just because you're isolated doesn't mean that you face the most pain in your life during your isolation you should take advantage stop and think and use your head on what you can do during that isolated time on what you can do to give you joy what you can do to accomplish things for God what you can do to even improve your own personal life see the more time that you use that use that isolation see as an advantage not as a disadvantage so take up a hobby play music draw maybe that's how you can become an artist eventually and make money that maybe that's why you can make beautiful music eventually take that time to study more of the Bible take that time to not watch the internet but watch our videos and increase more knowledge of the Bible see the isolation can be a benefit compared to being busy with people and trust me when you have a wife and children you become even more more Priyanka I'd spending time with them and that's like Paul said it's better to be alone in the ministry 1st Corinthians 7 why isolation has sometimes better benefits than being around people so you got to realize this isolation and companionship both have pros and cons but you think isolation is only cons that's why you're miserable take advantage of using it as a pro now as a pro you know what the dangerous thing is if you don't do number 4 I'm gonna tell you the most dangerous thing that will happen to you you're gonna be like I mentioned originally Idol at home first Timothy chapter 5 all alone and when you sit down and do nothing and I don't mind is the devil's workshop and that is the most dangerous thing that can happen I'm just gonna say this real quickly concerning big Chuck big Chuck said this is that he would always tell addicts the most dangerous thing is that you're stuck alone in your home why because what happens is then with that addiction running wild not only that you eventually commit suicide and there were people who committed suicide and those who lived right next door to Chuck and he stressed them so many times this you know what he told them actually as number one thing he told them this and you got to realize this there wasn't really a Bible believing Church out there that time - there what are Christian churches but they weren't really Bible believing but Chuck realized it's very important to do this because isolation is a dangerous thing you
