This is a new chapter in my life. I am all about setting the standards on serving others through what the lord is teaching me. I know at times I may fall but I know that my my lord pick me back up.
I had a great weekend with my son age 5 but I also realized that I need to speak with my wife so that she does not resent me.
Special note to me:
Allow your Lord to teach you His way which is the only right way. Trust your Lord to remove your oppressors who are speaking out accusations or blaming you for all the marriage problems. Stand firm. Wait on your Lord to work out your problems, bringing restoration and healing to you, your marriage and to your children. Our Lord will stand up and fight for you when you are afflicted if you will call on His mighty Name! Why not cry out to Him right now!
"Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior. Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence. I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." Psalm 27:7-14
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
"But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. . .Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you? Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up." Psalm 71:14-16;19-20
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
Whenever wife calls now it is about support money. With that being the cases, how do you respond. Everything is money hungry.
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
Dropped off support check yesterday as well as sons T-Ball glove. Wife wanted more money. Later she called and she talked for 25 minutes while I just listened. I have backed off for over a 1.5 months now. I pretty much don't say to much but just do what I am taught to do by my pastor and lord and savor.
"Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
Dropped of son at moms yesterday. I asked her about getting some of my other things and I will get them, she stated you don't live her anymore. I did react negatively but then apologized for what I said. I must rememebr to stear clear of the baiting trap that she will do.
Pray against other spirits that your spouse has probably opened themselves up to such as: Spirit of Fear, Spirit of Whoredoms, Spirit of Bondage, Spirit of Haughtiness, and Spirit of Perverseness, just to mention a few. Bind against these spirits and loose on them the fruit of the Spirit as in Galatians 5:22-23. Just imagine if each of us would pray against these demons that have blinded and deceived so many prodigal spouses around the world, what could happen in the spiritual realm with our Lord Jesus Christ fighting in the Heavenlies! You and I must go forward every day fighting for your marriage and all marriages, taking back from satan the territory that He has stolen.
When Moses was told to go into the Promised Land, he had to fight against the enemy to take the land. You and I must do likewise. Don't stand still. Don't give up. Don't look at your circumstances of a Red Sea. Walk in faith and believe in the power of your Lord Jesus Christ.
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." I John 4:4
"No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD." Isaiah 54:17
Now let's go fight the enemy and know that our Lord Jesus Christ has already won the War.
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
You are doing fine. Remember that we are merely human and we make mistakes. The fact that you immediately apologized is great. I think you did the best thing possible.
Of course you are going to feel stressed and pressured right now, especially if she is nagging you for money. I suspect since you have given her so much space that she may feel that's the only weapon/connection she can create with you right now.
May it's time to come out of the dark and start experimenting a little bit. Or maybe it's time to do a 180. I know it is very difficult during this phase of DR to walk that fine line between being patient and gracious and loving from a distance and not get steam-rolled.
I'm a little lost on exact advice right now, since I'm not a guy and didn't have to deal with the child support issues. I would suggesting seeking out a successful man on the bb. COG comes to mind; I believe he is still active here. Just Me would be a good person to seek out too.
You are in my thoughts and prayers...keep doing what you are doing.
Writing, I need to think prior to speaking as well as be two steps ahead of everything in my every day. Continue to pray daily and turn everythiung over to him. Pray for LB,MB,JP,GW,BC,SG,JS,& Triangle 3x a day.
As you go through your suffering or pain, remember that your Lord hears and sees your pain, your tears and He wants to heal your emotional pain and trauma. Know that the Holy Spirit can heal your broken heart and crushed spirit. Your spirit has been wounded by the enemy's tricks and schemes of marriage problems, separation or divorce. Satan had used hurtful words to cause emotional pain that needs to be healed, but your Lord God can heal you.
"He heals the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds." Psalm 147:3
Nothing is too hard for your Lord to do for you as your go through this difficult time in your marriage. Stand on the promises of God.
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
Have not spoke with son this weekend do to the fact that my wife is avoiding all calls that goto him from me. She will answer for her to speak with me but son is always not around for some un-benown reason. Even though my heart fills emplty to because of this challenge, I must relie on god every day.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
How would you evaluate your faith today? Are you walking in faith? May these powerful words of both song and scriptures of faith touch your heart today. You and I must walk in faith each day to please our Lord God. We must believe that God loves us and that He will reward those who earnestly seek Him. Do you really believe this? Has doubt, unbelief or fear try to destroy your walk of faith? Start reading and memorizing scriptures about faith until your "faith tank" is filled up to overflowing.
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
These are the notes that I need to continue to follow:
* Above all else, memorize your favorite scripture verses to share. The power for your stand, as well as for this Ministry, comes from the Word of God.
* Promise to keep that family in your prayers, and remember to do so.
* If you feel led to refer them to our web site, remind them about "Charlyne Shares" and "The Prodigal’s Perspective" on each page to help answer their questions - http://rejoiceministries.org/
* Learn what you believe about the Christian faith and about standing.
* Live a life that is an example of Jesus so that you will be a lighthouse, drawing people to you.
* Develop your personal devotional life. Learn to hear the voice of God.
Many people do not share about their stand at God-given opportunities because of back trouble; they seem to have a yellow streak running down it. This comes from the Enemy, who is always ready to remind you of the possibility of rejection and ridicule. Learn, instead, to listen to God and to always follow His gentle nudges.
One of the biggest tests of standing is the sharing of standing. Prepare today so that like Kyle’s driving test, you will be ready for your test at any time and under any circumstances. Do as God leads and He will get the glory.
