A Prayer Request
I need guidance- I have been going through some hard times. My house is in foreclosure, my husband and I are separated, which will probably lead to a divorce. I want my family back together and for things to turn around for me. I need your prayers and guidance.
A Marital Testimony:
I went through similar situation a few years back. Now my husband is saved filled with the Holy Ghost and all our needs are provided for. A prophet told me that God would bring my husband back fully circumcised and he was right. When we physically got back together, he was not yet saved, but soon thereafter we went to church together (I went where he wanted to go, not where I wanted to go.). It was a process, but God is faithful. He is saved, filled with the Holy Ghost and drags me to Church now. I never stopped praying for him and our marriage, no matter what it looked like. He kept asked me for a divorce and I refused to sign the papers. Then one day God told me I was not staying under the authority of my husband. I should be doing what he wanted. I wailed and moaned. I knew I had to let him go. So I called him and told him that I was going to sign the divorce papers. It was then that he said he no longer wanted the divorce. I had to come in line and allow god to turn his heart, which he did. The scriptures that helped me were the story of the Prodigal’s son. My husband was like the Prodigal’s son and he went off to have riotous living. (There was another woman involved). But when the Prodigal Son came home, the Father gladly received him and celebrated. When my husband said he no longer wanted the divorced I celebrated and received him in the state he was in. I praised God and I praised him. Then there is a story in Hosea 1 where the subject is Hosea’s unfaithful wife. The Lord told Hosea to go and get the wife of harlotry. He had to forgive here, no matter what she had done. It should how God loves us even when we are unfaithful. Read the story. (Chapter 1-3) So we must love the unfaithful has well. Even though the story is about a female, it can relate to a wandering male as well. The point is to love your spouse no matter what and be ready to forgive. Learn how to be a virtuous woman (Proverb 3) and learn to submit. Let him lead and when he makes a mistake, “he that covers a transgression seeks love.” Forget the transgression (the mistake) as you are seeking love. Walk in Love, know that love is patient; love is kind, love does not boast, love is not arrogant or rude, love does not insist on its own way, love is not resentful, love does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, love believes all things, love hopes all things, love endures all things. Love never fails.
Make sure you are in a bible believing, bible teaching church. Be there as often as you can. Know that God speaks to you through your Pastor. Listen, take notes, and do what he tells you to. God desires for you to live in peace.
