(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: bmwgirl740

We hired a lawyer 2 months ago to resolve an issue with an exwife on some property issues, the case is cut and dry, the lawyer is dragging her heels because obviously she has cut off more than she can chew with taking on too many clients at once, or so her paralegal told us.

WE NEED A QUICKKKKKK BREAKTHROUGH FROM GOD!!!! Every day this goes by costs us more money!!!!

Please agree with us in prayer that this lawyer will get our case pressed through as she promised us 2 months ago

I CLAIM RIGHT NOW THAT NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US WILL PROSPER AND EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES UP AGAINST US, WE SHALL CONDEMN IT!!! ACCORDING TO ISAIAH 54:17

Perhaps the Lord has arranged this delay for a purpose?

"Many seek the rulers favor, but justice for man comes from the Lord." Proverbs 29:26

"Do not be overcome with evil but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

"And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also." Matthew 5:38 - 48

"Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?" 1st Corinthians 6:1

"If then you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? " 1st Corinthians 6:4

"Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud, and that your brethren." 1st Corinthians 6:7 - 8


You say this is a cut and dry matter. Is it cut and dry for your first spouse? Is it costing her money she doesn't have to pay for representation? Would she be more moved to cooperate with you if you responded and treated her with love?



Father God,

Please lead this man as to what you want for him to do. If these scriptures I've shared are pertinent to this situation, please let him have ears to hear. Perhaps you are saving him from some longterm trouble by causing this delay.

I thank you and praise you for your love for us. That you can set any problem right and bring good from it when we love you and are called according to your purposes.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

First of all, I am a woman not a man, and the fact of the matter is that my husbands ex wife RAN OFF WITH ANOTHER MAN TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND MARRIED THIS OTHER MAN WHILE MARRIED TO MY HUSBAND!!! NOT TO MENTION CHARGING THIS MESS TO HIS CREDIT CARD. SHE DIVORCED HIM WITHOUT HIM KNOWING IT IN THE OTHER COUNTRY. YOU THINK HER MARRIAGE IS EVEN LEGAL??? SHE HAS NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER PAID ONE PENNY ON ANY BILLS THAT SHE HAS CHARGED OR ON THIS HOUSE. SHE IS IN THE WRONG. SHE CAME BACK TO AMERICA AND DIVORCED MY HUSBAND AND WROTE IN THE DIVORCE DECREE THAT SHE DID NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE HOUSE SHE WANTED TO BE COMPLETELY FREE FROM IT. SHE CLAIMS TO BE A CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN. NOW 8 YEARS LATER SHE REFUSES TO SIGN HER NAME OFF THE HOUSE WHEN IT HAS ALREADY BEEN JUDGED IN A COURT OF LAW WHICH SHEEEEEEEEE STARTED!!!!!!!!!! Now tell me how we are in the wrong by forcing her to follow through with what has already been judged against her!!!! NOT TO MENTION MY HUSBAND TOOK HER BACK IN AND LET HER LIVE HERE FREE WHEN HER LOSER HUSBAND KICKED HER AND THEIR 2 BABIES OUT. THEY FINALLY GOT BACK TOGETHER AND ARE LIVING IN MORE POVERTY THAN THEY EVER HAVE BEEN. ME, I would have told her no way could she come back, she made her bed now she can lay in it!!!! Now you tell me what is fair here. It has already been judged, she just has to sign the quitclaim deed, releasing her. THIS WAS HER IDEA!! SHE SHOULD PAY ALLLLL COURT AND LAWYER FEES WHICH WE HAVE HAD TO PAY THUSFAR!!!! She is just being mean and is jealous that my husband has a new wife and is doing so well. God knows all of this, I just wanted you to know before you started in judging me, and YES it is cut and dry IT HAS ALREADY BEEN JUDGED, now she will be forced to sign and not to mention I HOPE SHE HAS TO PAY FOR THE COURT COSTS HERSELF!!! She is the one being disobedient and if you know anything at all about God, you know that He always favors the one walking in obedience and not the one trying to get something for nothing. The curses are upon her and this as at her own hand. My advice to you is, know the whole story BEFOREEEEEEEEEEEEEE you start making accusations that you know NOTHING about!!! MY GOD SAYS THAT NO WEAPON, NO WEAPON, NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME WILL PROSPER AND EVERY TONGUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THAT RISES AGAINST ME IN JUDGEMENT, I SHALL CONDEMN IT, FOR THIS IS MY HERITAGE!!!!! MAY THE FAVOR OF GOD BE ON OUR LIVES AND MAY THE CURSES OF GOD BE ON THOSE WHO ARE DISOBEDIENT!!!!!

My sister,

I am not judging you.

I wrote first to the husband, as he is the spiritual head of this matter, is he not? It is also often confusing on the Internet to know all the details. I would ask for your patience and understanding of this medium.

God's word still stands. Does it say there that it is okay for you to go to court because she did first? Do you see exceptions in God's word there? How many times does the Lord say we are to forgive? Has she run out of times for forgiveness because she continues to do wrong? We are to overcome evil with good. You and your husband have such a wonderful track record of doing that -- it is so hard, but he has extended his hand to her from what you've shared, and that is what the Lord asks us to do.

Believe me, I understand the pain and trauma of these sorts of situations. They are not easy -- not at all.

I hope you are able to see my tone and intentions for what they were. Why are you so angry with me for simply sharing God's word? If it doesn't apply to the situation, as I prayed about in my prayer, then simply disregard it.

May your heart be where the Lord wants it to be. May his hand reign over your situation -- I may not know the details, but our Lord does. He knows what he wants for your family. His heart grieves over the mess, over the sins, over the stresses and he knows all that is going on. I ask for his intervention and that His will be done in your situation.

Blessings,

PFR

I am sorry, I don't mean to be rude or angry at you. I am just so tired of this situation going on and on. I am weary from it and I just want people to do the right thing. She knows in the end, she will have to sign or even the judge will just remove her name from the deed. We need to refinance in order to pay this woman's high high interest credit cards off that she left my husband with. I am just extremely put out with this woman and all of her issues that she left behind for my good hearted husband to deal with. She used and abused him and continues to. I want it to end is all. I want God to let justice prevail. Let the wicked pay for their wicked ways and let the good hearted honest people be blessed. I failed to mention my husband raised her first kid that had a dead beat dad, see he gets no thanks from this evil woman for anything he has done for her. The least she could do is to make things easy on us. She willingly signed the one house over already, well somewhere in between houses she deceided to be mean and ugly about things. Therefore leaving my good hearted husband to have to pay court fees that he shouldn't have to pay. I just want this to end, that is all I am saying. I am tired of her having some sort of control over this issue. He is having to refinance because of her, the least she could do is be nice and do what SHE KNOWS is right. All I can say is that God knows the whole situation and He will always rule for the ones being obedient unto Him. Thanks for writing back and atleast writing at all to try and be of help. As you can tell, I am having a hard time with my flesh in this situation because being Italian, you know we like to take things into our own hands. But, I want God's will in this situation. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for writing back. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way. (((((((HUGS)))))))

I can really understand your frustration. I know this woman seems evil by her actions, but she is still one of the lost sheep, whom the Lord says he'd leave his entire flock for a bit to go and find her and bring her back unto himself. I know her actions have hurt you and your husband, but your enemy is not her, but Satan.

Some thoughts, and please, do disregard them if they are things you're already doing or that don't seem as the Lord is leading you.

Have you tried praying scripture over her? Scripture for her salvation? That she would know the love of God? That she would follow the laws as they are written?

Have you gone into spiritual warfare for her? Not so that she will do what you need her to do (although that is good too!) but for her salvation? For her rescue?

It seems to me that Satan is doing all he can to try and destroy her life, and to take as many down with her (at least in terms of pain and frustration, etc.) as he can. Yes, she has a choice, but the word says that even the King's heart is held in God's hands and he can turn it any which way he wishes, as if it were channels of water in his hands. I often think of my husband, who has left me, and then I think of the Damascus road experience. Yes, Saul had a choice. But how stupid would he be to ignore the appearance of the Lord, his blinding, someone coming through the door sent by God to lay hands on him for the restoration of his sight and the infilling of the Holy Spirit! Wow! I know that God can bring the same kind of influence to my husband, and he can also to this lost soul who has caused you so much trouble.

I know how hard it is to change this point of view in your own heart. I won't go into a list of the troubles I held against my husband. However, somewhere in the process of these many months of prayer and fasting, the Lord showed me that HE (my husband) is not my enemy. The ENEMY is my enemy. The ENEMY is the one behind the troubles and strongholds that have been against us for years.

Also, I had to realize that some of what is happening is the Lord's chastisement against me. I am SO not judging you, but offering this as part of what has happened for me. It seems like for me, either something is driven by the enemy, or because it is needed for my personal growth and obedience to God (and often he uses it for both as he promises all things will work for good for those called according to his purposes and who love him).

I'm so glad you posted for prayer here. I do pray that you will soon see the Lord untangle this situation for the benefit for all of you.

So, back to my first post . . . ( ), maybe the Lord is allowing this delay for some special reason. Is it to bring a heart of prayer and forgiveness in you? Because he loves you so? Because he knows you are capable of this in him? Is it to solidify your marriage even more, as you turn to each other in these times of trial? To again and again show your sweet husband your love for him as he sees your patience and longsuffering with him? For the salvation of a lost, hurting soul who is in the grip of Satan?

I also feel led to tell you, I fell away from the Lord for many, many years. I would throw a FIT if I heard praise music in my home. I was scornful and distrustful of anything to do with God. My husband, unbeknownst to me, prayed for me for something like TEN years! I HAD NO IDEA!!!!! Honestly, I didn't. I was beginning to be lost into paganism! I wasn't doing the kinds of things your husband's ex-wife is, but I was still lost in sin. LOST in sin! No one thought I would ever turn again.

My husband left me and I cried out to God that night. Cried to be in his hand again. Cried out to him to help me understand what I could not in my intellect, and what had caused me to walk away.

He did.

It has been less than a year.

All my days, I will always know. If he can turn my hard heart around. If he can save me, if he can redeem me, if he can find me joyfully praising him and worshipping him and heal me of the horribly abusive childhood I experienced and set my feet upon a rock --

He can redeem ANYONE.

ANYONE.

I pray the Lord's love upon you. I pray he speaks to your heart what He wills, and that if anything I've said is part of his plan for you, then it will resonate with you. I pray a blessing over your marriage. I pray for the Lord's love to strengthen your bonds with your husband. I thank the Lord for giving this man a faithful and loving wife who cares so deeply for him.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

Awe Sis, (((((hugs back))))) I feel for you, when I was in 8th grade, my parents seperated. It was horrible. I know what you are going through, because I stood in faith with my mom that my dad would come back to her and be saved. All I have to say about that is God is sooo faithful. My dad came home (after 9 LONG months) and was saved shortly thereafter. Everything you said today has helped me and I sooo thank God for you posting it to me. Sometimes it is hard for us (me) to hear the truth. I do pray for this woman, and I know she needs it. I know I need God to work a miracle in ME. I am so hard hearted towards her and I need to learn to walk in forgiveness and love. I can see now where He could have a great opportunity to do so. I am sooo struggling in so many areas. I have just moved like 2000 miles from home, and I have never moved away from home in 35 years, (all my life). I am struggling with going to church alone since hubby works on Sundays. He also works 12 hours a day leaving me home in a strange town, ugh!! I am also believing God to change that lil situation and that he would be able to go to church on Sunday. I am rather shy and insecure and HATE going to church alone. I have been through lots in my childhood too. Sexually abused (being wrongfully touched)at age 8 by a trusted neighbor, then a family member a few years later. I turned to food because I couldn't tell anyone. I didn't feel I could. I felt guilty for what happened to me, like somehow it was my fault. That caused a weight problem, which caused me to be "different" (about 40lbs overweight)from my classmates who made fun of me and called me names and reject me. So, I know what you mean when you say difficult childhood. Always struggling to be accepted, I married a verbally abusive man (first marriage) that almost caused me to take my own life. Seems like I have had struggle after struggle after struggle. I need God to do some inner healing on me I guess. Lord knows I have been to so many annointed prayer services and had prayer, but that old enemy of ours creeps back and tries to attack us over and over. I have battled suicide all of my life. But God finally brought a man to me that adores me and loves me for who I am. He doesn't judge me for what size I am, which now is about a 14. I did get down to a 8/10 but the move and wedding put stress on me and there again, I turned to my old buddy food to comfort me, especially since I don't know a soul here in this town. That is what I meant to tell you, instead of my whole life history. Maybe I am bitter and I pray that God works that out in me.

Something you said.... So, back to my first post . . . ( ), maybe the Lord is allowing this delay for some special reason. As soon as I read that my husband called AND SAID THE SAME THING!!! I knew that was confirmation. So, thank you sooo much for that. I feel encouraged with that and with what you said, I am going to change my attitude and pray for this woman, who like you said is lost. I feel bad for the way I have been acting. I am going to totally turn this issue over to The Father and leave it there and praise HIM for what He is about to do!! Thanks again Sis, you have no idea how you have helped me today.

Are you believing for your husband to come home?

bmwgirl740... harboring unforgiveness, holding grudges, anger are all things that can deter our prayers being answered by God.
I realize it has been hard for you, & your family-- don't you think her decisions have caused some hardships in her life as well?Especially if she is a Christian & walking in opposition to God! You would be blessing yourself also to pray for her.
I too, was abused as a child (age 5 months old to age 5 1/2), then molested over 200 times from age 12-14, unwrongfully touched & looked at by two step-brothers, one was 4 yr. older, the other 6 yr. older.
For years I held unforgiveness, & not only did food become my solace, but also drugs & alcohol. This past October 31, I asdked God to slowly show me, in a manner I could handle, everything that I needed to do to become closer to Him...anything in the way, i.e., grudges, nforgiveness,unconfessed sins,and the such... He has been faithful to my request & brought up much I needed to let go of...sometimes excess physical pounds is due to excess spiritual poundage...I gained over the years, almost 200 pounds over of what my weight should be... to look at me, you'd never guess I weigh what I do, because I do alot of lifting with my son who has cerebral palsy, & have lost 42 pounds since sept. (gained back 10, but holding my own now) I would like to extend the invite to join a thread about weight & Jesus... using scriptures & prayer to help with food & weight issues... click on my signature where it says weight on the Lord in red... I will pray for you in the spirit, as duties at home call me away for now~!

OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Finally someone who understands where I am coming from about food. I know I have a food addiction and I have cried out to God more about this than any other thing in my life. I have cried out for years and years and bought many books and been on every diet known to man. This time I want to be free. There is something drawing me to eat sugar and sweets. It just makes me feel so good when I am lonely, but I know this is abusing food. I went on a crash diet last year and lost 65 lbs only to have gained about 50 of it back. That is devastating. I so desire to be at my normal body weight, so that I can feel better and get off this high blood pressure medicine. I just want to lose this weight and be free for good and help others be free. I will read your link and study it and pray for others who are struggling to be free. God says He will give us the desires of our heart, when we delight ourselves in Him...Ps 37:4. There is nothing more that I want than to be free. I am sorry about your son and about your life with the abuse. I don't want to have children because I DONT WANT TO GAIN ANY MORE WEIGHT!!! I can't handle it, I know I will go out of my mind. I can't get pregnant and gain what....50 more lbs on top of what I weigh now. I could not handle it. I am getting to the age of seriously thinking about it, because being 35 means my biological clock, so to speak, is ticking more and more and may tick out soon, who knows. I told God that if I can be free, then I would think about having a kid, but not until then, because I know I could not handle getting any bigger than I am now. It is just not worth it to me. Selfish? Maybe, but I know my limits and have battled suicide most of my life and don't want to go down that road for a whole 9 months or more, I know it would push me over the edge. Please pray for me, I do not even know which way to turn. I am going to pray like you did and ask God to lead me into my deliverance and total healing of this excess weight of about 60-75 lbs. I really don't know what to do, but I know God can help me. My husband has never had kids either and he wants one. I just know I have to be free before I can go down that road. I have never really wanted kids myself, but I feel like God is pushing me to think that way. I think I would be content not ever having any kids, but I know my husband wants one. Please help me know how to be free from the bondages of food that have me so bound. Ugh, I need so much work, thanks for writing, it really encouraged me to know that they are others in my shoes. I think that is so great that you have lost 42lbs!!!! Keep up the good work and I will pray for you too.

Ahhh, count me in on the weight issues! ACK! The Lord is dealing with me and healing me about those things during this season.

BMWgirl . . . that is amazing about your husband saying the same thing! God is so good! He will reveal his purpose to you in all this. He will.

Yes, I am believing for my marriage, and thank you for sharing your family's testimony. Those good testimonies help keep us going!

I am so amazed at how this thread went! You posted one thing and came out with a few others and some new friends!

I hope this doesn't come out as condescending, because I don't mean it to be at all, but I wanted to comment on how you really responded so wonderfully and displayed to the Lord a teachable spirit and an open heart! Praise God and WTG to you!!!! On many threads here, when someone is offended or hurt by a post they either go away forever and we don't know what happened to them or a flame fest ignites and the whole body of Christ gets another wound. You were open to the challenge and I am humbled to witness your obedience and openess to the Lord, amidst really difficult and trying circumstances. I can really understand some of what you must feel -- for me, when I have ever had the thought come into my mind of my husband loving another woman, oh, the pain! I imagine you must feel some of the same in reverse -- imagining him in the past loving someone else and then that she has hurt someone you love so much so deeply. And her actions continue to make difficulties for you guys. I imagine that must be very difficult.

Not to hard for God though!

He can untangle this. And hopefully another lost sheep will be back in the Shepherd's arms!

Blessings to you, and please stick around and join us in prayer!

On many threads here, when someone is offended or hurt by a post they either go away forever and we don't know what happened to them or a flame fest ignites and the whole body of Christ gets another wound. You were open to the challenge and I am humbled to witness your obedience and openess to the Lord, amidst really difficult and trying circumstances. I can really understand some of what you must feel -- for me, when I have ever had the thought come into my mind of my husband loving another woman, oh, the pain! I imagine you must feel some of the same in reverse -- imagining him in the past loving someone else and then that she has hurt someone you love so much so deeply. And her actions continue to make difficulties for you guys. I imagine that must be very difficult.

Not to hard for God though!

He can untangle this. And hopefully another lost sheep will be back in the Shepherd's arms!

Blessings to you, and please stick around and join us in prayer!


Awe, thank you for that post, that was so sweet and truly felt. I just felt like what you were saying is what I needed to hear. The truth hurts sometimes. I had been so wrapped up in my own self and my own feelings, I couldn't get past that. You opened my eyes to another side of the issue. Thanks for all the sweet things you said, it really made my day. I have learned to listen to what others say to me, although at first it may make me mad or offend me, that is just my pride I guess. But I have learned over the years, if I will listen to what people are saying to me and really think it over and take a stand point of ok, maybe they are right, and maybe I can learn from what they are saying, maybe God is saying this to me through them....then I usually tend to have an open mind and learn and benefit from it. LOL, I finally figured out, I didn't have all the answers, hahaha.

This thread really did take off and I am so glad. I was so desperate the day I wrote this for an answer, and you will be excited to know that the lawyer called yesterday and she told him that it should all be settled by the first of March and it should only take 5 minutes, PER THE JUDGE!!!! That was so exciting to me, no wonder I had a battle this week. The answer was right here in my face. Althought we don't have a set date, we are waiting on a cancellation list so that we can get a fast date, so please pray with me that the court will have a cancellation date and we can scoot in and get this settled in 5 minutes!!!!

UGH, about this weight thing....yuk. I am tired of the struggle, I want to get to the core of the issue and then maybe I won't be so addicted to food and I can let go and lose weight. I went to an amazing service last night at church, we had some great well known speakers from tv come and minister and it was awesome. I am going back today for more. It was great and I want to just go soak up some more and maybe get set free from some of this emotional baggage!!

About your husband...don't worry, God can change his heart and change things before you even know it. My parents had filed for divorce and dad had moved in with another woman, MY MOM'S "FRIEND"!!! God took that situation and ran with it. We prayed for 9 months for him to come home and back to mom. That has been many years ago, and to this day they are still together and happy as can be!!! They just built a new house and everything. So don't give up, be encouraged, because God says he will give us the desires of our heart (Ps 37:4).

Well, again thanks for that great post, it did make my day and I am glad I made some new friends to pray with and to share with!!! (((hugs))) Laci
