Agreeing with you ladies for quick healing and restoration of your voice and praise, Love.

Hallelujah.

I would love to be in agreement with both you ladies. It is a fact that God moves his word through his people, and I know he will place certain people in certain areas to perform certain works for His glory, even when it is not yet evident what the outcome of the work will be. I know that your mother and Cholette have been a blessing wherever the spirit of the Lord has taken them. I pray for the place that the Lord prepared for ya'll to be revealed quickly, for a place of peace, rest and comfort and love.

Thanks, Virtuous. Printed it out too, because it is good scriptural information to have.

Hi-five, me, Lola. lOL. i want you to know today, Christa, that the Lord honors marriage. It doesn't matter if you decide to marry the most diabolical dude in the world. God would honor that. But He also has made a way of escape, not as an excuse, but as legitimately merciful ways to get back to where you can have peace and grow in grace and godliness. Todd is not your enemy, but he is being used by the enemy. Until he comes into his right mind, he is the wrong one. One day I am going to tell my story to you when you have time.

Hmm. I feel so badly for you. I just want to say that yes, God hates divorce, but He also hates it when people hurt other people. You are right, there are ccrtainly extinuating circumstances for which God allows. Adultery, obviously, but also, if a man puts his wife away and does not want her. If he abandons his role as a husband. If he rejects her because of the Gospel. Let's see which one you fit in. I am trying to show you why you don't need to fall under condemnation. Because Cholette is hitting the nail on the head. Everything else is just to drive the point home. I Corinthians 7:10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. 12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? I do not advocate divorce, but what I am saying is that when a man abandons his role as a lover, caretaker, prophet, priest, and provider to his wife, then he has already walked away, and made himself more important. I am not saying that God won't work it out, but you will never know how He can, if you won't trust Him to receive this care and begin to work on Todd for you. A person cannot change another person. Only God can effect a change in a person's heart. A soft heart can be moulded. A hard heart only gets harder. I pray that Todd receive a heart transplant, get a new heart. One that will hear the Lord. I know that it hurts and is depressing. I think that you are pretty brave and courageous to do what you have to do for your child and yourself.

That is awesome word, once again, ladies. Meat for the hungry!

Amen, I will stand in agreement with you, K.

I am so very glad for you.

I agree with Lola, Christa. Not because I feel what she is saying is right, and it is. But I have seen this so many times, that I am surprised that I have not grown impervious to it. Especially since I come from a state where 50% (how startling is that!) of all domestic abuse situations end by death of a spouse/partner. Shocking, huh? I am tired but not impervious to it. I have found that the more I encourage the victim to be an advocate for themselves, the more they become an advocate for the abuser. It is an odd symbiotic relationship, and deadly. You can go on like this literally for months or years. A couple of months ago, I believe I mentioned it on an earlier post, a woman whose husband was a deputy sheriff, and whose father-in-law was the police chief. The husband had a restraining order on him. He ended up killing her and himself, and would have got the children, if they had been at the store with their momma. It is popular as white rice over here. Believe that. All I can say is you have the decision of life and death (and I don't only mean that in the literal common sense, but also spiritual, financial, and mental anguish can feel like death) in your own hand. Just do what the Lord is telling you to do. If you have a tiny piece of glass embedded in your hand, and you cannot get it out yourself, you go to the doctor so that it is surgically removed. Why? Because you know that even though it is going to hurt more right now to heal from the surgeons incision, it will keep you from being hurt dramatically worse later. Why ? Because glass could cause a worse problem down the road. Hope that made sense. Dear, have a good night. Listen to wisdom.

Oh, thank you, Lord. How wonderful is Your Word. It NEVER returns void. You said it NEVER returns void!!!!!!

May the Lord bless you, Mbstudent. Pray that God may see your excellent spirit, and your purpose to walk in the better way, and resolve the issue the enemy has tried to use as an impediment. May it be moved today.

Amen, Love. I am so glad you have been encouraged so strongly by Holy Spirit.

May the Lord bless you abundantly, sister.

AMen, I stand in agreement with you ladies.

i do, I truly do stand and believe the Lord for your mom's salvation. I pray that the Spirit will speak through you and draw her into His arms. I pray that the scales will fall from her eyes and that her ears will be opened in the spirit, so that she may see the Truth and hear the Truth. I pray that her heart be softened and that she receive you. In Jesus' name, I pray.

We cover him in agreeing warfare prayer.

My Father, my Father. I am. many people are, in anguish of spirit and waiting for our change to come. Lord, we love you too much to accuse you, and let go of your hand. Because the whole while we have been in this trial of fire, you have been our cooling touch. When the floods came to sweep us away and drown and destroy us, You lifted a standard against that enemy. Whole armies of people can come against us and have, but You only made us leap over them and their plans, and run through them like a one woman/man army. You are my strength, my light and my shield. You are my song in the night. You are our security and surety. You are our Shield and Exceeding Great reward. Lord, when we struggle to keep dignity, honor and integrity before You, You always keep Your Promises. I count on Your Covenant, Lord. Your mercies are tender and new each day. I know You watch over us carefully, and lovingly. I feel Your love. I ask you to deliver us out of our present circumstances. I know that you are using them to give us perserverance, and equip us with every good thing so that we will be perfect, not lacking anything that we need to do the work that you created us to do. But now, reason with your children. I know I am tired. We are not accusing you, Daddy Father. I know you understand that we are just waiting, and while we wait, I will again ask you to remove these hard things from us. They are like pits in our teeth, sour milk in our throat. Please remove these hard places, Lord, and put a reviving spirit in me. In all of us. I read princessdelia's prayer, blue504, change, love, so many that are seeking your face and not your hand. We are truly coming to you without motive, without gile, being washed in the blood of the Lamb, asking you to revive our spirits so that we may laugh again, and feel alive, and rejoice in you, and sing your praises, and tell all about you. Dead people cannot praise you, Lord. But we are lively stones, so we praise you. You know what is best for us. May your perfect will be done in our lives. In Jesus' name, we ask it all.

Amen, praise God. I am totalling agreeing with that hot and fervent and effectual prayer of the righteous Virtuous and MB. Amen! May the enemy be forced to return to you 7 fold, place what he touched in every area.

Touching and agreeing, Kimie.

When I read this, it was better than God speaking it to my heart. I think he knows that if he would have spoken it to me, I would not have believed He said it. He gave me those words in a devotional on the exact day I was becoming a little frustrated with His silence. GLORY TO GOD!! What a timely, well-spoken word, Cholette. Amen.

YES, TGBTG!

:bighug: Love you, gurl. I know it's hard. Here you have with you, the people you love most in the world, and the enemy tries to use your people to bring up your past. Well, the joke's really on him. Because if they can make jokes about you, you look more like Jesus than you know, the enemy is attempting to hinder your walk and harm your witness with your family. After all, a prophet gets no honor from his own household, baby. I am a witness. Everyday, I tell my mom, and my sisters things. Then the events happen. They say it is coincidence. Well, coincidence should be a day of the week. Hee hee. On top of that, I know it's hard for you not to say anything back to them. You are trying to de-stress, and I know you are being derogatory towards them-you just want some understanding. I remember times when my sister used to bring me to tears. Praise God, He can hold you up and wipe 'em away. The tongue is an uncontrollable thing, and the word says that it is on fire of hell. That's why holy spirit has to keep us, or we will quickly go left in the flesh under provocation, right? LOL. The truth is everybody knows when they have issues, and many times just have trouble controlling themselves, because they have not submitted everything to God. So stuff that is not submitted keeps peeking out of the flesh, and BAMMM! Drama! Try as I might, I have to point some fingers at myself everyday as I struggle not to do the same. Umkay?!!! You, I will definitely hold you up. Kisses and hugs, Love.

Touching and agreeing, Tony and Christa. In Jesus' name.
