Christa

Thanks all of you. I am so blessed to have had so much anointed advice. Thank you so much. Please continue to pray for me in the next two weeks that we will get the call that they're ready to take my husband into the program. Please pray that I will be strong and stick to my guns in making him go or else. Please also pray that he willingly goes in and stays in for the entire year. Now that I'm recognizing that being around my father isn't the best alternative, I might ask my brother if I can go live with him and his family. Thank you so much for your prayers and solid advice. God bless you all.

Blossom, Joyce Meyer is a rad woman, get her cd's and read her books. I'll tell you something a little about me....that same piece of crap thing (homosexual whatever in hell it is) has been a constant in my spiritual warfare. My dad is verbally abusive towards me (still to this day), never physically abusive. His dad was verbally and physically abusive towards him. These spirits will pass down the bloodlines if they're not stopped. I have a daughter that I pray for all of the time that she will not have this spirit attack her. Pornography, occult...I've been there and done that too. Blossom, sometimes, this thing will get me in my dreams as I'm sleeping. It'll stick a girl in my dreams and the next thing you know, it's on. It has even brought people to me....I've lost many friends because I've actually had to say "no" to their advances, or I've abandoned the friendship because I knew they were under the influence of that spirit. It's embarassing and it's almost useless going to a regular counselor about it because they'll tell you to give in to your desires because you were born gay, etc. This is what I suggest (and I'm going to do this for myself, because actually, your story made me realize that this is a bigger issue in me than I recognized before): There are many churches that offer "healing rooms," I've been to them before for other things. They cast off all sorts of hellish things that attack people. A homosexual spirit is no exception. I know that some of the Vineyard churches have them. If you don't have a healing room in your area, call up some churches and ask if they cast out spirits. If they say, "no" or if they give you an answer that shows you they're shaky on the subject, then go to the next. Pentacostal churches may be a source. Immediate suggestion: Get a bunch of Christian CD's, whatever kind you like and inundate your brain with God and His Word. Everytime you get a thought, "Resist the devil and he must flee," turn on one of those CD's and go do the dishes, sweep the floor, get on the treadmill.Or go for a walk with an ipod full of Christian music or Christian message downloads (Joel Osteen has free ones, most TV preachers do). I had to realize that my Heavenly Father is the perfect father figure for me. Jesus is our husband, our lover, our savior, our comforter, our redeemer, our parent, and a friend that sticks close than a brother. He is our everything. For many years I thought God was a tyrant because my earthly father is. God is so the opposite. "It His KINDNESS, (not his mighty might) that brings us to repentance." He is kind, He's our dad, He's the King of Kings, and we are the King's kids. Remind that nasty spirit of that every time he enters. Like True Flight said in the above response, "He stands in the gap"...so there is no gap anymore. I know you're going to get rid of this thing because everyone on this page is binding the devil on your behalf right now. I plead the blood of Jesus over you right now. I ask Jesus that the anointing will fall so heavily on you right at this moment that you will feel God's saturating love and joy come upon you like a warm fuzzy blanket and sink deep within your soul like an ointment from the heavens healing and mending you. You are blessed and not cursed. The enemy has no place in your life because you're a child of the Most High God. You are a blessed child of the King, you're our sister in Christ, and you have a mighty purpose that only you can fulfill for the Lord. He says, "If you love me, you will feed my sheep." He loves his sheep, He is the Good Shephard...He laid down His life for His sheep. You're going to help someone, maybe many people, someday with this exact same thing. It may be your calling. Find other people online who have been delivered from this. Get prepared, because God wants to help a lot of people through you. You are so precious. Thank you so much for sharing with us about your struggle. God bless you and protect you sister, we love you and appreciate you!

Well, straightforward is what I need...so, no worries there. Actually, recently, a prophetess cast a spirit of fear and a spirit of abuse out of me. That just completely boggled my brain for a while, but it made sense after. Those spirits squeezed me really hard as they left too. It felt like my ribs were getting crushed and I was gagging and gasping for air. Nothing like that had ever happened to me before. I'm glad they're gone though and I surely don't want them back. My dad is verbally abusive to me too and I live with him and my mom right now to get away from my husband. I seriously want to run for the hills, but I can't afford it. I can't seem to get at a safe distance from these people. If I could afford counseling, I'd get it in a heartbeat, no joke. I'm of the opinion that everyone needs counseling at some point in their lives. Thank you for your prayers. I really need them...I need my joy back.

I receive it too and over my family as well!

Thank you everyone for your input, prayers, and caring for me in this situation. My husband and I went to interview at the program yesterday. It's called Teen Challenge, it's a "Christian Life Program." Their next bed is available on the 21st of this month. I told my husband that it was this program or marital separation. It is a one year program where he spends 3 months on a ranch (with cows and everything), earning his own keep. The rest of the 9 months he will be transferred to another facility where it'll be less intense. For the induction at the ranch (3 months), he is not allowed to bring books or music (other than 5 praise and worship tapes). He must attend all church services on Sundays and has to go to the Bible studies/classes during the week. He can't wear any clothing with secular wording or symbols on it and he has to wear a collared shirt, slacks, and a tie for church. They don't even allow cigarette smoking or cell phones. He gets one 15 minute call a week to immediate family members only. Basically, this program will teach him how to be a good Christian man and how to function in society (get trained for a job too) if he gives his heart over to the Lord and if he stays in the program. It has an 86% success rate, but it is intense, especially for him. My husband has major learning disabilities and he can read, but he can't write. He almost didn't get accepted into the program because I was filling out the application for him. I knew Jesus was there pressing on for us because the coordinator was trying to convince us of a less intense program..... where he wouldn't live onsite..... due to all of the homework assignments requiring him to write a lot while at the ranch. My heart sunk because I know my husband won't drive his butt an hour a day to go to teen challenge meetings on his own. I asked the coordinator if we should just leave then or if my husband can fill out the application from here and still have our interview. He said to continue filling out the app and he would be back in a minute. He then called us in and Todd is now on the waiting list for a bed, THANK YOU JESUS! I don't know if my husband will stay in or even go in on the 21st, but I know that this program is annointed and I'll have a lot of people praying for him. He's willing to go because he knows it's our last chance. If he leaves the program, they will notify me and I'll file for separation immediately. My husband wants to do this for his family, so I'm praying for a new man to come out of this. In the meantime though, my daughter and I aren't living with him, but I just hope and pray that things turn out right and turn around. Thank you again for your continued prayers on this. I will keep you all updated, hopefully with good, miraculous news.

Thanks you guys. I'll keep you informed.

I married a functioning autistic man (didn't know it) 3 years ago. He's also narcisistic, a thief, and a liar. We have a 21 month old daughter together. My husband is demon possessed I think. He cusses me out on a regular basis for very invalid reasons. He smokes marijuana behind my back and he's a convicted felon for selling marijuana to a 14 year old back in the day. We're sort of separated right now because I'm tired of the verbal and mental abuse that comes and goes without warning. My daughter (who's not even 2) asked me if I was ok and rubbed my arm the other day after a fight. I left for good at that point. Now my husband is blaming me for his tire blowing out on the freeway and instead of him getting towed to a tire place, he got it towed to the bikini girl, 4th of July, party his friend invited him to. He's blaming me for not going and picking him up from there, taking him somewhere to get a tire, and then dropping him back off at the party. He's completely ridiculous and he doesn't know Jesus. Can I claim abandonment on this one? I don't want to get a divorce unless I absolutely have to, but I don't want this devil one minute alone with our daughter. I just don't trust him. Please pray for me, I really need answers by, like tomorrow. I'm trying to get him into a Christian rehab program on Tuesday. He would live there a year. That is our only chance. Please pray for his voluntary admitting into this place. My head is going to explode if I have to deal with him anymore.
