If Mama didn't like the fact that I told you your faith was being tried by fire she sure isn't gonna like this next thing:
You're a poser.
You are well versed in the law that surrounds the Word but so clearly lacking the true personal experience with the grace and mercy that should have, by now, caused at least some amount of mercy and graciousness to flow out of YOUR spirit.
The Word you claim to know and believe so deeply in states clearly that the power of life and death lie in the tongue and yet almost every time you open your mouth you make the conscious, willful decision to kill.
You were supposed to be the spiritual leader of your home and you failed miserably and can't face that fact which is why you're always whining and pointing the finger at your wife. I know it makes ya feel all warm, fuzzy and righteous to imagine the little lady back in her proper place under your roof and the kids all beaming and joyful - and I reckon you're bargaining that that's exactly when you will start, too...
Let me know how that works out for you!
Awww hell Phil, let's cut the BS here. You don't believe in God. You think you ARE God.
If you thought yourself a mere mortal human like the rest of us, you would have taken the direction I gave you earlier regarding finding out what God says about your family. I mean seriously, any idiot can google that very phrase and find a starting point. But it is beneath you somehow to do what might remotely resemble toiling. You want everything spelled out for you so you can poo poo it and attempt to baffle us with more useless rambling.
You think you're in the wilderness - well I'm beginning to think you're more akin to the one that visited Jesus when HE was in the wilderness. I mean, you can sure quote scripture but I don't hear anything about you getting into the Word for yourself to find the answers that will save your family.
Additionally, you've got a mouth that doesn't declare anything but lies. Which Father DO YOU SERVE??? Your wife is not a whore. She is a virtuous woman. You see Phil what you fail to grasp is that your wife has fallen into the hands of the enemy due, in part, to her past and the fact she married a dude who himself was in the hands of the enemy. But she REMAINS a child of God with His Word planted deep inside her spirit and it will rise up and save her. It sure won't be because of your intercessory prayer though because for every sincere prayer you might have prayed, you've canceled it out within hours with the words that you later spoke.
Do you KNOW that the enemy HAS EARS and he hears all the filth you spew about your wife and TO your wife? He DELIGHTS in it! You do him proud. He wants that woman and he uses your lack of REAL wisdom and self-control to get closer every day to owning the deed to her soul. At this rate it's gonna be a twofer.
You JOB - THE CALL - is not for you to work in the enemy's camp but instead to serve the One to Whom she belongs, rather than lament your opinion that she's gone too wayward. And while I'm on it let me just tell you this: SHE CAN'T GET BEYOND HIS REACH.
You need to learn compassion and respect. Each has been given to you in abundance and it is the work of the Lord. You don't appreciate it.
You appear to be nothing more than a self-righteous, blind, old, fool that has a severe Napolean complex.
Maybe before you search the Word for what God says about your family you should first search it for what it says about YOU. You don't know who you are. In your case, I don't think it's that you have forgotten either. I think you just don't know the Power that would be behind you if you would dare to get your ENTIRE self in line with the Word.
You can speak life to your dead marriage. It's right there laid out for you in Ezekiel 37.
Thus saith the Lord...
Also, God's Word says He will (not 'might' but WILL) bind up the brokenhearted, heal that which is sick and bring back that which was driven away but you really NEED to hear the "driven away" part.
Man, it was you behind the wheel.
One more thing, lose the pirate crap.
If you want your family back start by rebuilding their home.
And this time smartypants, don't forget the Chief Cornerstone.
