do any of your spouses know that you come to annointed.net for prayer and support. I am just wondering what my husband would think if he knew I came here.............would he be in awe or would he be upset...sometimes I wonder if I should have him come here and check out how many people care and how I have given it to God...if he checked this site out, would he turn his heart to God???

Micki,

Jodi doesnt know I come here, and honestly she might think if she did I had totally flipped a cog. I was a lukewarm Christian at best during our marriage, convinced by the devil that all the things "we" were doing sinfully in our marriage that I was not worthy of God or going to church. And the devil uses this fact of renewed faith that Jodi will find me repulsive , so I fight him on that everyday. I feel in my situation that I will leave it to God to steer her where He wants just like He steered us here. I know its tough, I like to try and control situations, that I am best served by letting God do what He has done and not try and "move" him to fix her the way I want and by what methods I want Him to use on her.After all what Ive tried hasnt worked so why not allow Him who created everything and it was perfect fix her and "us"

Hope this helps again its just my opinion.

Micki,
I agree with Troy. I have also had thoughts of having my husband come and see these posts but God really placed it upon my heart that it would be taking it out of His hands if I did that. He has a plan and He will make sure all the things that need done get done. I also felt that it may make my husband turn more away from God's gentle nudgings if he felt that some how he was being manipulated by all of this. I want him fully open to God's voice, not on the defense against it. Your husband will come to see the changes God has made in you when God gets him ready for it. Just stay strong, and remember how many of us here love you.

I know my wife would be furious at me for posting our problems on a prayer board. She does know that I am a member of a prayer board and that I have had dialogue with a few members but I do not feel she knows how commited to this board I am. Her response when I told her of annointed.net and how it has been a true Godsend to me, "that's nice." She has internet access but at this time cares so little for what is in my life, probably wouldn't even have remembered the name of the board two minutes after I told her. From my perspective, many of our spouses seem to be agitated easily by things that refer to their marriage. It is easily seen by them as another way of us thinking we are better than them, when you and I know it is simply because God cares and we care. Truthfully, I think it makes them think of the wrong things in their lives and causes them to run further away from God and marriage. Hardened hearts are difficult, if not impossible to deal with on human terms. That's why I have given up hope of convincing, encouraging or begging my wife back to the Lord. It's not going to happen. Even when my wife asked to go back to church with me and did, several weeks later she was still doing the same old things, only lying to me about them now. After this became apparent to me, she hasn't been back. To be honest, I'm glad, because while I'm truly saddened that my wife is not saved, I realized that I was going to lose my relationship with God in the process of us (wife and I) spending time together. The point is that going back to church, coming to a prayer board, reading the bible or whatever it is that you think might encourage someone, won't, unless they are made ready by Jesus to hear it and believe it. God is far more creative than man, let him use His methods to return your spouse to Him. Taylor
