My Heart is Breaking #7

[brandnewday]

(((((((hugs)))))))

I can not even begin to imagine the pain you must be feeling right now. I am so sorry.

I can tell you however that when a relationship begins with lies and is immoral and adulturous, then it thrives without God's blessing.

For you, right now, you need to let your Husband go.

Pray for him from a distance, but leave him alone.

Continue to work on yourself and most of all work on forgiveness. Just a little bit each day, it will take time!

Sending you huge (((hugs))) and prayers.

The Enemy Tempts Us To Lie! -

"Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering lips speak
with deception. May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and
every boastful tongue that says, "We will triumph with our
tongues; we own our lips—who is our master?" Psalm 12:2-4

Do you always tell the truth or just a few "white lies?" What is
your spouse doing regarding telling you the truth? Do your
children know the difference between telling the truth versus
lying to you, to their friends or to their teachers? Do you
think our society has accepted "white lies" as part of life, as
being acceptable and quite normal? What do you teach your
children or possibly employees or what does your employer ask you
to say, "I am not here" when, in fact, you are in the office?
Are we teaching our children it is all right to lie? Ask the
Lord to examine your own heart before you start telling me all
about your husband's or wife's lies.

"Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for
your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your
truth." Psalm 26:2-3

What does the Lord say about lying?

"There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable
to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent
blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are
quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and
a man who stirs up dissension among brothers." Proverbs 6:16-19

There is a scripture that I use to remind you to "zip your lips,"
but let me use this Bible verse today to remind you not to ever
fall into the temptation to start lying because of your marriage
problems. The enemy will lie to you by telling you that is it
all right to tell "white lies." What did the devil tell Eve in
the Garden in Genesis? What happened to her and Adam? Beware of
the tricks and schemes of the enemy who is tempting you to fall
into sin by different ways in just one day!

"Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD: keep watch over the door of
my lips. Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take
part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat
of their delicacies." Psalm 141:3-4

I pray that you and I will always have the fear of the Lord so we
do not blatantly sin against the Lord with our tongue daily.

"Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it."
Psalm 34:12-14

My heart's desire is for you to know that the Lord is your
Defender and Protector during your struggle of marriage problems
which may include children problems, financial or employment
issues. You may not see with your visual eyes God's protection
with warrior angels, but they are there with you. (Read 2 Kings
6:8-23)

You and I can start in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 20, when
Abraham called Sarah his sister and Abimelech king of Gerar took
her, but God protected Sarah.

"But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to
him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have
taken; she is a married woman." Now Abimelech had not gone
near her, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent
nation? Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister,' and didn't
she also say, 'He is my brother'? I have done this with a clear
conscience and clean hands." Then God said to him in the
dream, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and
so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did
not let you touch her. Now return the man's wife, for he is a
prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you
do not return her, you may be sure that you and all yours will
die." Genesis 20:3-7

Remember, Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5) who lied to the church
about their giving? God considered this a lie against the Holy
Spirit and as they lied, they both died. I know you will
remember many other Bible stories that teach us the principles
that you and I need to apply to our daily lives regardless of our
circumstances. Peter who was so close to Jesus, said he would
die with his Lord, yet he lied to three different people denying
he knew his Lord before the rooster crowed. Can you imagine
Peter denying his Lord? How often do we do that ourselves and
then get convicted by the Holy Spirit? Remember, the enemy
deceives and tempts us and we must know the enemy's tricks and
schemes. (John 18)

Today, examine your own life, before you point your fingers at
your spouse who was tempted and started lying to birth the sin of
adultery. While your spouse is committing adultery, they have
had to tell lie upon lie, to hide their sins. You and I must
know that God will expose their sin in His timing.

You must be very careful that you do not lie for all different
reasons throughout your normal day. Remember that the enemy will
convince you that they are justifiable reasons. Sin is sin and
lying is lying. Beware, the enemy is not deceiving and tempting
you to fall into sin. How many people do you know or justify
lying on their tax return? Cry out to your Lord, right now to
cleanse your heart from lies that have been birthed during your
marriage, separation or divorce.

"I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. Save
me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues."
Psalm 120:1-2

How does the enemy get a foothold in so many marriages? The
answer is easy, by lying and deception. We teach our children
not to lie from an early age, but what are they observing?
Parent, are you able to look at your child and know when they are
not telling the truth? I used to be able to look at our children
straight in their eyes and could tell if they were lying to me.
God can do the same!

I pray that you will start praying against the lying spirit that
is attacking your spouse and may be attacking you. May each of
us pray for all prodigals of all ages to know the truth and that
the truth will set them free. Satan is speaking lies to your
spouse every day. Satan deceived Eve and he is out to deceive
you and destroy your spouse. Pray that your spouse will realize
that they have been deceived and are in a trap and the only way
out is to cry out for Jesus, who will become their Savior.

"Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that
God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of
the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape
from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do
his will." 2 Timothy 2:25-26

"Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to
hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you
want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from
the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth
in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is
a liar and the father of lies." John 8:43-44

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have
come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
John 10:10

Remember, that Jesus Christ is the answer. He has the only
answers for you and for the healing and restoration of your
marriage. Pray against the lying spirit and ask the Holy Spirit
to start convicting your spouse of the lies and the tangled web
they have had to weave to live in their sin. Ask the Holy Spirit
to speak to every family member in your home to be convicted to
repent and ask forgiveness of anyone telling lies. You must
build your marriage on the foundation of God's Truths, not with
lies that will only crumble in time. Are you changing to be more
like the Lord? What is the truth?

"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then
you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:31-32
