How do you know?

[MiccyinFl]

Ok I have posted before of my struggles with my marriage and all else that is going on in my life . I have prayed for my marriage and truly felt that it was within Gods will that it be restored . I am coming to see that in all that we still have free will . The enemy is also at work . I believe that my husband was touched by the hand of the Lord and came to want to work on things , but he isnt saved and the enemy faught harder and tried to keep him away and take me back from Jesus. I have to accept my husbands free will , but I do not have to give my soul to the enemy.

I had a few hard days , not wanting to trust the Lord anymore , fearful of more hurt . My mind knew what i needed to do , my emotions were controlling me for a few days . I still kept coming here to talk with people who knew the Lord to help me .

Right now Im currently dealing with the foreclosure sale of my home . My husband decided two days before the sale that we would not be working on things nor moving somewhere else together. (he wasnt in the home at the time anyway) I have to try to pack up this house , his stuff as well and go stay with my sister over an hour away, which means leaving my job and trying in these hard times to find another.

I greieve for my marriage, divorce isnt in my heart , and i know the Lord is against it . However my husband is not a believer and has left so I should let him go . A friend said that i did not know the Lord when i married him , so didnt seek his guidance in knowing if he was the man destined for me.

How do i reconcile wanting to restore my marriage , and letting go ?

I want to wait on the Lords will for my life , I know He knows what is best for me . I do not know where to put action though. Do i just let it be , pack up and just leave and do nothing where my marriage is concerned.

Ive prayed and will continue to do so , seeking clarity in all this . Im looking for any other advice and support the members here may have for me.

Thank you Jesus for all that is good in my life , and for allowing me to have this site and the christian people here to turn to .

I look forward to hearing from you all .

God bless you all
Praise Jesus always

Miccy my sister I am s sorry for your pain. I will be praying for you and your husband. All I can offer is the Word of God. He knows the beginning form the end and is never surprised, He always has a plan. His hand is always moving and His heart is always towards us. I have stood in places were it seemed like the end of all and yet He faithfully kept me, delivered me and brought me through. He will do no less for you.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

God can bring great blessing out of een the darkest moments of our lives, even when we cannot see how He is already moving making a way.
The awesome Creator of all loves us enough that even as we eat today's bread He already has tommorows wheat growing in the field. He is a God of love, restoration and healing and He is never more than a whisper away.
Again, I am so sorry for your pain and I will be praying.
Many blessings and much love in Jesus Name,
your brother Larry.

Ok here is an update on things . My husband is also moving out of town to the other side of the state . We talked for a little bit , but it did not go so well . Maybe the Lord is just trying to give answers to my "what ifs". Like when my husband turned around and wanted to work on things a few months ago , and it didnt turn out so well . He may have been keeping me from wondering if it could have worked if only we tried one more time .

I told my husband i would continue praying for him as well as our marriage . That is when things got bad . I believe the enemy has a hold on him and is trying to take me away from the Lord as well as keep my husband from knowing Jesus.

I am coming through all of this one day at a time, each day with a little more stregnth through Jesus. He is still blessing me and providing for our needs .

I have a long way to go , but with Jesus I will get there . The enemy can not have my soul , no matter what schemes and tricks he tries.

Please continue to keep me in your prayers , as well as my children and my husband . If he is just saved and comes to the Lord , that is more than enough for me .

God Bless You all !

Dear sister you really are having a hard time right now.
Just remember that you are never alone in this world, not only do you have your brothers and sisters in Christ but you also have the Lord who will never leave you.

I pray that you feel our loving Lord with you as you set of on a new path, may He give you the strength that you need and bless you with all that you need in the coming months.
Lord just bring her peace at this time
In Jesus name

just a thought . . .

dear MiccyinFl . . .

to keep yourself protected from more pain, get up, stand up straight and say to yourself:

Im not gonna go ON this year, as I did the last!

Pack your stuff, concentrate on a life with Jesus being your partner and all the rest WILL fall into place. . .

The only one who will not disappoint you in the future is our great God!

Try Him and Him only for just one year, like you gave your hubby the same chance . . .

Im sure you will get back on your feet, sweetheart

May God bless you and give you the strength for the first step . . .Get up!

Sister, like you said your husband has a free will. Your right, God does hate divorce, but he does not hate people or reject people who get divorced. It was paid for on the cross. God hates divorce because of what it does to people emotionally, financially, and spiritually, however he loves you and will give you Grace to move through this difficult time.

Your husbands free will is leading him away from you. You have to do what is right for you and your family. You must make decisions based on what is going on in your immediate life. So, do what you know must be done right now for you to carry on life. If you want your marriage restored, but he does not, you have a decision to make. Are you willing to stand for your marriage a few years even if your split up? If so, do so, but prepare your self for a life that will not include him for a season. You still must work, pay bills, feed kids, maintain a household. That takes money. Focus on work, spend time with God, follow peace and follow the leading of the Lord. He is a practical God and knows you must carry on your life. Let him work on your husband. God does not condemn us, or manipulate our lives. Invite him into this situation and start right where you are and what is priority. If your husband has chosen to not be part of your life, then do what you have to do right now! Indecision will cripple you!

Carry on. Do what you need to do.
