HELP! ME UNDERSTAND, I AM NEWLY BAPTISED, I READ THE BIBLE, DAILY, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I HAD AWAKEN WITH ONLY 4 HOURS OF REST DUE TO A STRESSFUL DAY. FOR THE FIRST EVER, IN MY LIFE, I WOKE WITH A FEELING OF STESS, ANIXITY AS IF SOMETHING HAD JUST HAPPEND, OR IS ON ITS WAY. AFTER CHECKING OUR HOME , FINDING NOTHING WRONG , I SAT DOWN BY MYSELF , MY WIFE ASLEEP, MY MIND BLANK, AND HEARD IN MY HEAD " MY SON, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS RAIL" ) I SPENT THE DAY IN PRAYER
READING THE BIBLE, AND STILL GOT NO ANSWERS, WORKED AT EVERYTHING AND ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, TO SEE IF ANY DIRECTION WOULD GIVE ME RELEIF FROM THE FEELING I WAS MEANT TO DO SOMETHING. THIS AFTERNOON, I HAD ANOTHER THOUGHT COME IN TO MY MIND " THE YOUNGEST STAR BURNS BRIGHTEST" THIS SOUNDED AS IF SOMEONE WAS LAUGHTING AT ME, I HAVE NOT FELT WELL ALL DAY LONG, THE FEELING OF STRESS, WHICH IS NOT MY NORMAL SELF, HAS NOT LEFT ME,I CANT SHAKE THIS AND NO GUIDNESS, HAS COME TO ME. I AM NORMALLY A VERY CALM EASY GOING PERSON

Sorry for the caps, this is my first time here. I don't mean to be rude, Just desperate. And no I am not on medication, and do not normaly have trouble slepping. As i said I am normaly calm, even in times of trouble. This is why I came here for help, to my Brothers and sisters in Christ. Forgive me if I sounded rude,was only calling for help on my knees.

Typing in all caps is rude and a sure fire way to get reported.
Go see a specialist about the other problems you are having. It sounds like you are either bi-polar or have OCD.

Perhaps what you are experiencing is the sense of urgency the Holy Spirit has placed on your heart to go out and fulfill the commission of Jesus.
I had the similar experience of feeling almost an impending loss of life... as if I didn't have enough time to share the good news with friends and loved ones. A pastor shared with me that this was the fire of the Holy Spirit, impressing upon me the importance of reaching the lost and sharing the gospel.
Do not get confused or frightened by this. It is fine... just use the energy to share the message with others. Be careful and do so in love and allow the Holy Spirit to bring people to Christ, you do the introductions so to speak, but let God do the rest.

You need to remember that not all things that go through your mind have a spiritual source. They may or they may not. In your case I must agree with those who have suggested that you look into physical causes of your sleep deprivation and anxiety. In other words, go to a doctor and let them know the symptoms you have described.

As for the spiritual part, I can tell you that I am a Christian myself and that Christianity has a message of amazing inner peace, grace (getting what you really do not deserve), and love (unconditional and undeserved) both between God and humankind and between people. It is a powerful and timeless message and many millions of people have embraced the truth and power of the love of God and the redemption of human beings. However, many people and entire churches also use the Bible and Christianity to suit their own agenda. Many of these folks believe they are doing the right things, particularly when all the Christian whom they know agree with the same ideas. Be careful. This may be part of your stress. God loves you and is a powerful agent for changing your heart and your outlook for the better, but not everybody who claims Christianity is really following the heart of the message. God will speak to you through other people. That's why going to a doctor is also a good idea. I believe God uses doctors for the good of peoples lives daily. Some doctors are terrible, but many are there to truly help others and you need some sound advice from one.

Also, be open to advice from others that appears sound to you. If something is happening to you that is causing you harm, I can tell you from many years of experience that the source of that is not God. Your own body may need help. Sickness can happen in the brain just like it can happen in the stomach or anywhere else. Take that seriously.

But above all else, do not make the mistake of thinking that Christ is causing you harm. Evil is real and there are people that would steer you away from God for your answers. That's like steering clear of water when you are dying of thirst. Watch out for that.

May God bring great blessings and wisdom to your life at this important time.

Hey relax.....
a similar thing happened to me a year ago when I was baptized as an adult.
I never went to church growing up.
My parents kept me out of church because of their own negative experiences.
But I knew the truth and god forced me to convert by showing me demon after demon.
I'm serious demons are real.....
This is the problem your facing,
if you get baptized with the holy spirit and then try to live under the yoke of the 10 commandments you fall from grace.
Romans ch4,14
Living under the law (10 commandments) makes your faith (salvation) of none effect.
Its all over the new testament.
Salvation by faith in Christ alone.
You are now dead to the law.
That horrible feeling in your chest/stomach is the holysprit trying to warn you of the danger your putting your self in.
Repent is Greek for "to change your mind" gospel is Greek for "good news"
Put it all together now,"change your mind and believe the good news of Jesus Christ"
That's it faith in Christ alone.
Satan will play with your mind and try to convince you that you are still accountable for sin.
Don't, its the only way to fall from grace.
I know this is contrary to what most Church's teach.
So feel free to e-mail me if you need verses or further explanation.
PS>I went to the doctor for what they called "panic attacks"
They said I was having severe anxiety but when they took my blood pressure it was extremely low-

It sounds like a panic attack. Are you on medication? You may need to have a doctor check the doseage. If you're not on anything, know that stress levels in people can make them hear things, getting yourself calm and getting the stress out of your life are the first two things to help your mind deal.

Make sure you're eating properly, no alcohol, and stay light on the caffine. If this continues, check with your doctor.

sit down and have a quiet talk with a therapist. perhaps your priest if that helps. you have issues needing immediate attention, most notable being your sleep deprivation. this can FOR A FACT cause auditory hallucinations. that does not mean you are crazy. i see such things in my E.R. often. get some rest. then call someone tomorrow.
peace

Be still and know that He is God. He doesn't talk to you with voices in your head.
