Wow, praise God for His protection!

Amen, Angelwings! That gut feeling IS the Holy Spirit! I'm not "there" either, but I will say that I've learned now to trust that inner voice. As you begin to trust the voice and submit to It, knowing that it's God, He will show you so much because He knows He has your attention and that you're obedient to His instructions. It also gives me a confidence, knowing that the Holy Spirit really is with me wherever I go and will guide me in EVERYTHING, no matter how small/insignificant it may seem. I can operate in His will (and not my own) because I know that He sees everything and wants the absolute best for me. Anything that is not of His will, He'll handle - I really don't have to worry about it. There is no better peace than that! God is like no other, He is awesome and worthy to be praised! Hallelujah!!

Amen, receive it, you have a new portion for the day! Blessed be the Lord who loads us daily with benefits! (Psalm 68:19) I will stand in agreement with you regarding your husband's work situation...

I had something happen recently that I wanted to share as a testimony of how important it is to listen to the Holy Spirit within you.... Several months ago, I had a major problem with my laptop and it wouldn't launch anymore. A friend of a friend has a computer sales/repair business so I gave him the computer so that he could repair it. The only problem is that I forgot that he approaches his business as if it were a hobby...long story short, he had my laptop for several months and still hadn't fixed it. Now part of it of course is my responsibility because I got really busy and stopped following up with him. Before I knew it, four months had passed by. But at some point, I remembered that he still hadn't fixed it and something told me it was time to get the computer. At first it was just common sense, it shouldn't take so long to repair a computer but a sense of urgency started to come on me about it. At one point, the Holy Spirit told me that I needed to get the laptop back by the end of the week. It took a lot of nagging (at one point, I wondered if he was holding my laptop hostage... ), but I was able to get it back a little bit past the the week timeframe. But here is the lesson of why it's important to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit. A couple of weeks later, my friend called me to tell me that it was a good thing that I was so persistent about getting my laptop. It turned out that someone broke into our friend's business and stole all of the computers that were in the store! Not only that, my friend had no liability insurance so he was now personally liable to all of the customers whose computers were stolen. My laptop has years of photos and various files that would've been almost completely lost (I didn't consistently back up the files...new project now). As it turned out, I ended up taking it to a repair shop in my area and it was fixed (files intact) within a few days. But the thought of what could've happened makes me shudder....I give thanks to God for forewarning me and protecting me!

Amen and Amen! Sometimes people are in your life for a season, they serve a specific purpose in your life and when that purpose is achieved they are no longer meant to be in your life. As well, sometimes people can be a distraction to what the Lord has directed for your life - these people must be removed from your life in order for you to be able to walk into all that the Lord has for you. It is so true that you can sever the friendship in a loving but honest way and keep these friends in prayer that they be blessed and reach their destined place in the Kingdom as well....

Yum, that sounds really tasty!

Happy Birthday, Hindsfeet! May the Lord shower you with blessings today and everyday!

I agree with traveller and would add that she can do a prayer walk through her home (Mama maybe you can do this with her) to cast the demons out and anoint the doorways and windows of her home. Additionally, I would leave anointed worship music playing consistently both during this period and especially when her unsaved relatives visit. I had relatives visit during Christmas and played worship music as well as warfare prayer points on my pc continuously - the volume was barely audible but the spirits heard it! I could see the uncomfortableness building among my relatives over the course of their stay...in the last days it got to the point where they stayed in one of the bedrooms all day and only came out to eat meals..... Pleading the blood of Jesus over her mind/thoughts/dreams/visions/bed/bedroom/family/home/etc. every night before going to bed will definitely cause her nightmares to cease, please encourage her to do this.... Keep us posted to let us know how things progress with her, ok?

God is doing something sweety...we just need to hold our ground and push!!!! When we don't feel like praising...worshiping...reading...praying...we have to do it ANYWAY. Amen, Cholette! SisterinChrist, I'm keeping you in my prayers...

May the miracle of the Lord strengthen your faith and give you renewed hope! Have a blessed day today and always! Matthew 28:6 - He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.

Amen, SCGirlyGrl!

Praise the Lord, kbrooks72! Welcome to the site! Sorry to hear about your marriage, please don't give up on it - don't believe the lies of Satan. Our God is a Redeemer and Restorer, with Him nothing is impossible! Your marriage didn't get to this point overnight and it may take some time to get to the point where healing, forgiveness have taken place and the marriage is restored but please don't confuse that with can't do. I believe your dreams/visions are a call to pray/intercede for your wife and kids - cover them with prayer. It has only been one month since she left so it's premature to say that she's not anywhere, in that amount of time she may just be getting her arms around all that has taken place. Is she in counseling? Biblical/Christian counseling may help you two, both individually and as a couple. I will stand in agreement with you that your marriage will be restored....

Is your ex-husband in his current state the same man that you fell in love with and married? In order to get back to that man, you have to let this one go. I don't mean that literally (don't give up on your marriage), what I mean is that God may need to deal with him on some issues so that he can become the man that God has destined him to be. (Romans 6 and Ephesians 4:24)

Was that message for this moment or was it prophetic? What I mean is, do you know the man that you're supposed to loose? If so, take the instructions literally, step away from any relationship/friendship/acquaintance/interaction that may be going on. Even though the man needs help, it may not be your assignment to be the one to provide it. I have a friend who has a gifting of service to others and his weakness is that he finds himself helping everyone who needs help but to the point where he damages his own situation in order to help and is sometimes manipulated. The Lord warned him about a situation regarding someone else but unfortunately he misinterpreted the warning...it nearly cost him everything but God is faithful and protected him through the period of trouble he experienced because he didn't act on what God was warning him about.... Usually when we get direct instructions that we KNOW are from God, we should follow them, He's giving them to us for a reason. If you're unsure about whether the instructions are really from God, ask Him to give you a confirmation. If you're not sure about what your next steps should be, seek Him for His guidance and He'll tell you. Proverbs 3:5-8 came to mind as I wrote this: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct[a] your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh,[b] And strength[c] to your bones.

I stand in agreement with this prayer and thank God for it's already done in Jesus' name!

Hi justblueskies - I'm sorry that this is happening to you, your relative has issues! Seriously, remember that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Your fight right now is not with your cousin, it's against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Ephesians 6:12-13) This is your assignment, to stand against the schemes of the enemy who is working through your relative. Our God is bigger than your relative and bigger than her 'psychic', no weapon formed against you can prosper and every word that rises up against you in judgement you shall condemn. Be strengthened by the Word and remember Whose you are - she can't do anything to harm you. Pray for her - by being so focused on you there's likely something within her that needs examining but she's avoiding it....

I stand in agreement with my sisters and thank You Lord for giving jill16 the peace that transcends all understanding. Jill16 - how did things turn out?

Very true! Also, members can filter for unanswered posts from the home page...click on the view unanswered posts link at the top of the page...thanks!

Hi ilparo005 - I think the Lord is telling you through your dreams that your marriage is not over despite what it may look like in the natural. But there will be much work ahead to get there and it will require unshakable faith on your part(Hebrews 11:1 - (AMP)NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]). Christian marriages are under attack and Satan pulling out every scheme to destroy them. But no weapon formed against you (nor your marriage) shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against you in judgement you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Furthermore, you have the authority given to you by Jesus to trample over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you (Luke 10:19). So fight for your marriage through prayer because prayer is your most powerful weapon. Prayer changes things because it opens the way for God to enter into your situation and complete His will for your marriage. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16). So stand for your marriage. Plead the blood of Jesus over it. Call those things that are not as though they were. Consistently. No matter what your husband's actions are now. And no matter how discouraging things appear now or become in the future. Stand firm. And let God do His work. Father God, I thank you for ilparo005 and I thank you for her faith. I lift her up to you Father, for healing and strengthening. Although things don't look good right now, we know that you are sovereign. You are still in control of all things. This marriage breaking up is not a surprise to You and we thank you that You will work it for ilparo005 and her husband's good. We thank you that you are our God of restoration, that there is no problem too great for you to solve and we thank you for the restoration work that you are doing in ilparo005's marriage right now. We pray Father that you would bring healing to ilparo005 and her husband. We pray that You would do a work in her husband right now, Father - soften his hardened heart, direct his path back to his home and to his marriage in Jesus' name. Give them teachable, humble hearts so that they can work through this healing process. Heal their hearts, help them to forgive and restore the love and trust in Jesus' name. We thank you not just for the restoration You're performing on the marriage but we thank You for the transformation that you're working on the marriage to make it even better than it was before. Thank you for the wonderful testimony that will come out of this situation. We give you all the honor and glory, now and forever. In Jesus' name, amen!

Praise God, that's good news! Thanks, D!

Hi justblueskies - I will pray for you and your family and want you to remember and stand on the fact that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Him (Isaiah 54:17)

Hi Love's Child, welcome back! I was wondering what happened to you, glad to see you're back!

I agree with all that's been said. Congratulations because what you did took courage and humility and you will be blessed for your obedience!
