THIS IS FROM OUR DEAR SISTER HASANTHI, IN SRI LANKA.....



That sure was a most beautiful weekend and the best Easter weekend I've ever had in my life. Do we have a testimony sharing thread? I remember you mentioning about having one.

Carrie I wanna share a few areas the Holy Spirit inspired me to pray for during the Vigil so that you can post them if you like. I am sure all of us warriors were led by the Spirit to pray for unknown areas.

The Lord asked me to surrender the following areas coz He said these were some of the reasons for delay in healing process…

# There are partners who ask for the restoration of their marriage and feel Lord would give them a personal victory. Lord asks for humility and reminds them that victory is for both of them and not just for the one who was standing in faith.



# As much as they pray their partner would return home, they must allow the Lord to stretch their hearts to give the returning partner space.



# Lord reminded that those who return are wounded and that the spirituality of their partners should not frighten them. They should see and feel Jesus through their waiting partner. “You are the only Jesus he/she will ever see”. They should feel that they are forgiven and not punished.



# Lord stressed a lot on complete forgiveness. Coz that allows the grace to flow.



# Forgive not just your partner but also anything and anyone else that led him/her away from you.



# “My way is Highway” says the Lord. He says we view any negative movement (according to our point of view) as movements of satan and forget that through it Lord might be working too and become anxious and restless. He says that He is watching and that He “knows” it all.



# He says some are afraid of the unknown in their situations “I don’t know how he/she feels… I don’t know where he/she is… I don’t know with whom…” A lot of “I don’t know” sentences. He wants them all surrendered to Him for He KNOWS.





All my prayers and love.

Hi All,

Well, I praise the Lord for the beautiful gift and breakthrough he brought to me in his love and mercy!!!! Praise the Lord! And thank you to all of you for the prayers, joining together in unity for this vigil, and for your continued prayers and support!!!!!

There was a tremendous miracle of the Lord Tuesday afternoon in my situation. My husband and I were talking about the final divorce papers. He seemed very agitated and geared up for a fight. I had worried that I'd not been clear enough when I'd confessed my sins to him a couple of months ago that I did not want the divorce. I had said that, but worried that I'd said it so quickly it had not been noticed. Anyway, the Lord presented me with an opportunity to say all of that again, that I love him, that I don't want the divorce (I repeated it again, lol!) and that I would not stand in his way. He was worried I'd have my attorney show up in court and fight him at trial and he'd have to have witnesses etc. ready and how that costs thousands of dollars, etc., and I said, "D, I'm not going to fight you." He kept on saying that maybe I'd want my attorney to review the papers to be sure they were fair (suddenly being defensive for me, on my behalf!) and I got the opportunity to bless him and say, "D, you are a man who has thrown himself at the throne of God, you are an honorable and trustworthy man! I'm sure you've been very fair in what you put in the papers and that I can trust you!" Oh it felt so good to say something loving like that to my sweet husband.

At one point he suddenly started talking about how we are so far from communicating like husband and wife right now, and that is way off in the future (!), and we were going to have to have a lot of talks about all that happened before we could be husband and wife again -- he was referring repeatedly though to that we might be husband and wife again in the future!!!!! Praise the Lord! He told me he just needs this closure and still wants to go through with the divorce. However, just one week ago it wasn't even a possibility, a couple of weeks ago we were just going to be "friends", and just a short time before that he couldn't even look at me! Last week it was clear he was very hurt by my court papers last September, now he says he is not mad at me and is only upset by the people at the church who steered me in this direction! His voice was so "clear" when he said he is not harboring any unforgiveness towards me. When he said he still wanted the divorce, I just said I know, I understand, I don't blame you, I get it, I hear you, etc. All very gently. The Lord was definitely present.

I then wanted to share with him how much God is doing in me so quickly, as an encouragement when he was talking about how far in the future and how long and how much work it would be to get to being man and wife again. I told him how last weekend, the Lord had been showing me more about what he wanted to do in me, and had shown me my critical tongue and the power it has to bless or to curse and how badly I'd treated him. I got so choked up I could barely get the words out. I was crying and then he shared with me that during the last four weeks, the Lord had been teaching and sharing with HIM about the power of the tongue to curse or to bless! God is so amazing, teaching us about the same things at the same time! Thank you Lord!

THEN, all of a sudden, he got very excited and started praising and complimenting me! He said, "YOU! YOU!" and he started to laugh with joy. He said, "There are a lot of Christians out there who stink like flesh, but not you! I am so blessed every time I talk to you and hear the words that come out of your mouth! The Holy Spirit is in you! And you listen to him! You have the fruit of the spirit in your life!" He then went on and on, blessing me and praising me! He gave a beautiful word of the Lord for me! All this, and just a few minutes before he was assuring me how he still wanted this divorce! I just sat there, his blessings pouring over me from the phone, almost unable to believe what I was hearing and praising the Lord and, wow!

Then there was an abrupt switch back to discussing the signing of the final divorce papers.

What a tremendous gift from the Lord though, to hear my husband bless and praise me like that! I am undeserving after how I had treated him when we were still together and yet the Lord blessed me so kindly! Thank you Lord!

I feel so confident that our restoration is on the way! It would not surprise me at all if he suddenly started telling me to not sign the papers! And I also feel so at peace that even if the divorce goes through, we will still be restored. It would not surprise me if it was even very soon, with how much rapid change I've seen the Lord doing.

God is SO good, so gracious, so kind! So merciful! So magnificent! So amazing! His ways are not our ways, and he is so loving. He can help us all to find our way back to our spouses, to be a part of healing our marriages.

Please continue to pray that our restoration will go all the way through, and that we will be delivered from the divorce. The enemy is putting up a fight bigtime, so please pray to bind him away from this process.

I also feel strongly led to pray that my husband will seek out spending some extended time with me before this divorce would go through, which means right away. Would you pray with me for that to come to pass if it is the Lord's will?

Isn't God something else?

Lord, thank you SO much!

Blessings,

Erika

Anyone else?

I have two more -- I forgot to share that when my husband came home with our daughter that evening from visitation, I was coming from the laundry room. I set the basket down and picked up our daughter and was chatting with him, when he very purposefully, well, I could see the thought cross his mind, then he walked over very chivalrously, and picked up the laundry basket and carried it upstairs for me. I know it seems a small thing, but I know he was doing it to please me and to be a man for me, and that is a BIG thing! Praise God! It was so strange before to have his favor completely removed from me to the point that he would do nothing for me anymore, and now I see signs of him caring and wanting to do things to please me. He also has done things where he will tell me about his business or something, and I used to wonder why he would share those things? Now I suddenly see that he wants my approval and for me to cheer him on -- all very important in a husband/wife relationship. I'm so touched he cares what I think, that he wants the "strokes" from me that he is a man, he is talented, smart, is successful, etc. *blush* So it is a two way miracle -- the way I'm thinking about it all has changed and I'm appreciative, and that he is doing those things and feeling those ways.

Number two is that I got a call from the courts and was nervous they were continuing an evaluation I had dropped. Long story. Anyway, what happened was I got an opportunity to praise my husband, share that I am hoping for restoration, say what a good father he is, etc. The lady was quite blown away by my words and very excited. She has to write up a report and I'm hoping all my praise and everything will be in there and presented to the court to counteract my destructive words earlier on in the process.

Thank you again so much to everyone for the prayers.

I can't believe I am actually posting this because my only thoughts of hubby are when I pray for his salvation. I try not to think of him at all any other time because I have so much anger toward him. I have prayed that God will soften my heart.
Today, I went and got the forms for divorce (I know, I know...not an act of faith! But I believe God used it to a good advantage!) and then I dropped by the place where I work to talk to my friend G. Guess who shows up there! My U.B. I was nervous, shaking, and wanted to run out the back door. He wanted to come get some of his stuff.
When he saw the divorce forms, he was very upset and angry. He told me he was going to file, in his own time. He said he just needed to know if I wanted to keep my name (his name!) or change it. I said I wanted to change it to my ex-husbands last name (and my son's) instead of my maiden name so I would find out if I could do that. He really was angry about that. I had prayed all the way home for God to just take over and let me not mess everything up. He is SOOO amazing! The Lord kept me calm and loving and upbeat. U.B. really relaxed and told me "I'm just getting (his son's toddler bed) because he outgrew his playpen where he was sleeping, and that he didn't want to take all the stuff he has here. "WoW! The Lord working through me allowed him to relax and be very calm. ALL the honor and Glory to God!!!!!!!
I brought up our relationship and told him I thought it was all a lie. He did get offended about that. I said "you must be relieved to get rid of me finally". I laughed and he looked at me with this look of horror on his face. I asked "you don't think that's funny?" He said no, he didn't think it was funny at all. Very angry that I could laugh it off. I don't know why I did that but he let me know he didn't want this, that it wasn't funny at all. He left to go home. I went out and told him to stop running away, as this was a huge problem in our marriage. I explained to him why I said our life together had been a lie, that I don't want to divorce, that I forgive him of everything and I just wanted him to be happy. He very angrily said "so why did you get the papers! If you don't want it then why did you get them?" I said to make him happy, since it's what he wanted. He said he didn't want it and it wouldn't make him happy, that he was just going to stay miserable. I said you don't have to be...let God heal you inside. He said if he couldn't be with me, he wanted to be alone all his life. We are really starting to get somewhere! I asked him to come back inside and talk. He asked "about this?" I said, no, we were always good friends, we could talk about music or God, or life in general.
He said he needed to take that stuff home. I said, ok, I am just fine with that (and I MEANT it). He asked if he could come over later to talk. I said of course! So here I am waiting for him. Please pray for us!
I'm sorry this is so long but I never expected to see him for awhile, much less to have such a great talk about us. I still don't know what will happen from moment to moment but God is WORKING here!!! Praise You Lord Jesus!!!!
The Lord is so faithful! Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him!!!
God bless all,
Debi

Thank you to all who participated in the Easter Prayer Vigil. I was blessed to be a part of such a wonderful thing.

The Lord has truly moved in my marriage. My Husband has decided against divorce and is truly willing to work it out. We see each other frequently and although he is still at his parent's house, we have a great time and things seem to be sooooo much better. He now talks of," when I come home" rather than avoiding the subject. He tells me often that he loves me and I see him every payday, he has never left us without money or recourses. We do the budget as always and we have and the kids and I have never wanted for anything while he has been gone. He tells me that we are getting close to him coming home. Soon he says. We actually spent part of the day driving around today so he could show me a few houses. Saying, "See that would be perfect for us." As for me I am dancing and praising the Lord for His miracle in my life and my marriage!!




Please continue to pray that the Lord binds satan in my husband's mind and heart and that the Lord will rain forgiveness for me down on my Husband and that for our whole family’s sake, his parents, our children, and both of us that he comes home very soon.

Thanks for these encouraging stories. I will keep praying for marriges. If you guys are interested in praying for marriges every day at the same time, let me know. I want to sign people up, so every hour of every day is covered with people praying for marriages. Please PM, as I do not always make it into all the different threads, and if enough people show interest, I will start a thread to assign prayer hours. Don't worry if someone has already taken a slot that is good for you. The more the merrier. Then if someone drops out or can't make that time, it's still covered.

Oh AMEN !! AMEN !!! AMEN !!!!

Thankyou Lord ...thankyou that Your hand was so obviously in this Vigil !!!
I lift up every single marriage to You Father for Your blessing, For Your continuing work in every spouse, whether waiting or wandering,,,Your work will be completed !

For those who are still waiting for their breakthrough..dont despair, Just because your eyes cannot see signs or wonders, it doesnt mean that God has forgotten, or that He thinks your situation is too hopeless. NOTHING is too hopeless for our God ! There is NO situation, NO confusion and NO obstacle too big for Him to handle. EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE !!

Oh Lord where there is desperation,. change it into renewed hope. Where there is discouragement, bring faith. Bring the joy of the Lord into the hearts of the spouses still waiting. The joy that says You will never leave us, You will NEVER forsake us.
The joy that says no matter what your wandering spouse has done, IS doing.......I, the LORD GOD, have everything under control. Do not look to the things your eyes can see, do not be fooled ! Look to the things you cannot yet see...accept the impossible....accept MY PROMISES ! I have spoken and I will do it. Do not fret or fear, I have not forgotten you. I am making a way in the wilderness, sending streams into the desert, streams of living water into the barren desert where no life was. Life will spring up, and abound, There will be a new beginning to which there will be no end. Your joy will be complete. Fear not my sons and daughters, your joy WILL be complete.


Amen. Amen.

OK, I was not sure that this was good news, but her Ladyship, our Carrie-Anne has convinced me otherwise!

Owen and I both work for the same company, he is now in a different building to me and as he is now living 80 miles away with the OW, he is not where I work very often.

Well today I knew that he was going to be in my building and I struggled to decide if I should work from home or not. Well I chose to go into work. By strange circumstances, I was late into work and as I was walking up the path, I saw Owen in the corridor above me. Then wait for this, he came to see me.

I got to tell him how nice it was to see him, he told me that he could not come all this way without seeing me! He looked as pleased to see me as I was to see him. Now this is what is breaking my heart. He looks so ill. Above his eye is red, he is in pain with his arm, he looks so thin. I got to tell him how ill he looked. Guys, there is only one thing that I know at this minute, how much I love that man. I want him home, where I can take care of him and make him sparkle again.

We are in the process of having the house transfered into my name. He did mention the transfer, but was nice about it. Owen was also going for another job near to where the OW lives, well he did not get it.

Father,

Thank you for allowing me to see my Owen. Even though I feel like crying at this minute, I know that this meeting came from you. Thank you for the chance for Owen to be reminded of me and us.

Father I beg of you, bring him home now. Break what ever spell that is keeping him from home, give him the strenght to walk away from this situation. Father return him into my loving care.

Amen

Praise the Lord Donna!!!!!!! I think it is Lord's own plan to allow him suffer a little to help him realise that He gave Him a wonderful wife who would take care of him and that he should return to her coz no one else can care for him the way she does.

May His healing love flow out to your husband through you Donna.

Many of you are already familiar with Charlyne, but this is just something i HAVE to share with you !!




WATCH OUT! YOU'RE HEADED THE WRONG WAY! -

If only your spouse could hear those words today! They are headed the
WRONG WAY! Do you know someone else who is headed the wrong way?
Then please take time to pray for them. Pray that the Holy Spirit will
speak loud enough that they will listen and be OBEDIENT to turning
around and head the right direction--toward JESUS!

"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

When we take matters into our own hands, like Sarah and Abraham did
regarding wanting a baby and Hagar, they went on a detour road of
disobedience and consequences that they did NOT need to go through.
I pray that you will learn from their mistakes, and be careful not to
go on a "Detour Road" of disobedience due to all your circumstances
you are going through.

Often we will end up on a detour road because we listen to others, or
the pain is too great, possibly you think the road is too long or you
think you must be on the Wrong Road. You are not on the Wrong Road if
you are following and listening to your Lord God. The right road
usually is very narrow and there are many more people on the Wrong
Road because they want to do it their own way, not God's way. Always
listen and wait for the Lord's voice and directions. Don't honk your
horn in impatience, wait on the Lord; God does speak!

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear
a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it.'"
Isaiah 30:21

We must wait for miracles for God to get the glory, not us. God
showed us as examples by Sarah and Abraham being so much older that
their bodies were dead to bearing children. But when God ordains and
orders something to be done--it is done as a miracle and for God to
get the glory!! God wants your marriage to be declared dead and then
He will breathe the "Breathe of Life" (Ezekiel 37) back into your
marriage for Him to receive the glory and honor!! Do you understand?
We need to always praise the Lord for all miracles and answers to
prayers! Look for answers to prayers! Waiting on God shows Him and
others that you are trusting Him for everything and walking in faith.

"A man's steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone
understand his own way?" Proverbs 20:24

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose
that prevails." Proverbs 19:21

Seek the Lord and make sure you are headed the right direction. If
you are on a detour road, life is not going to be easy. Surrender
everything to your Lord, submit to His will and His way for you and
your family's life.

IF only your prodigal spouse would do this, they would be home very
soon! Pray for your spouse's obedience to God's will and God's way in
their life. Sarah ran ahead of God and created many problems. Stay
on God's Road, watch for His road signs.

"Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight."
Psalm 119:35

Satan is telling all prodigal spouses that because they took a detour
road, they can never turn around. Prodigals think because of the
mistakes they have made they have to stay on the detour road
permanently. This is another one of the devil's lie. Pray that the
Holy Spirit will speak so loudly your spouse can hear and surrender
their will to God's plan for their life. Pray that your prodigal
spouse can slow down to see the Exit road where the Holy Spirit is
flagging them to warn your spouse they are on the "wrong road, headed
the wrong way." The Holy Spirit will take them to the Lord and turn
them back around to the road of restoration for their marriage!

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And
God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you
can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way
out so that you can stand up under it." I Corinthians 10:13

God Bless,

This is from FIREFIGHTER, having trouble posting.....


czynka,

I cannot post this reply to your thread, for some reason. Can you post it for me?

Dear God,

As you know, Satan works the hardest when we are praying and coming together the hardest. We will not let Satan defeat us, Lord. We are strong in you and the attacks that we may be feeling are grounded in Satan, Father, testing our very resolve. God, Satan is tempting us with discord in attempt to take us away from what is really important work on this board. GET THEE BEHIND US, SATAN. JESUS' BLOOD IS COVERING US, AS WE SPEAK, AND WE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HURTING RELATIONSHIPS AROUND THE WORLD, LORD. We bind Satan's attempts to distract us and keep our minds off of even praying for our own situations. Keep our minds continuously occupied on the task at hand, dear Father, and give us strength to do what it good and proper in your sight.

James 1:2-6 says, "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind."

By your grace, dear God, and in Jesus' name, Amen and Amen...

Hi Carrie Ann,
The evening with my hubby went okay. I did feel like telling him I didn't want a divorce just made him comfortable leaving things just as they are. I am so confused on what to do. Today was not a good day. I won't post details...this is a breakthrough thread, not a sob and lose control thread! Thanks for your faith and hopes for my marriage. I need all I can get! God bless.

Hot on the heels of Owen coming to see me on Monday, I have had 7 e-mails from him today.
I was meant to be at a meeting yesterday, that I knew he was going to, but I did not go. Today I received a garbled e-mail from Owen (he made the first contact) more or less saying that he had missed me at the meeting.
Something is moving, thank you God.


Posted by: slpdx2

Thank you Lord for moving in Owen and Donna's life. Donna has waited so patietly on you Lord and she has been such a blessing to us all here. Please continue to move in Owen's heart and mind. We are worried about his spirit and his body Lord, but we know he is in your safe keeping. Please minister to him, fill him with love for Donna and the undeniable and unignorable thought to come home where he will be safe and loved. Please rain the same feelings down on KB and Paul. Remove the obsticals blocking thier paths home to thier wives and children. Be with all of us and hold us close so we can keep our faith and our eyes on you. Keep all obsticals from our path as we wait on You. We await your miricle in all our lives. To you all the glory for all that has happened in each of our lives recently. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen and Amen.

I don't remember if I posted this or not, but during the last Prayer Vigil I received an email from my husband. It had been two months with no word before that.

The vigil was one of the most difficult times for me emotionally. I definately felt weakened by it. (I don't mena to say this is bad. Sometimes being weakend is good for me.) I have continued to feel this weakness, this tiredness. I think that I must have been running on adrenalin before the vigil and a part of the healing process for me was getting here.

I don't know if I will fast for the next vigil, but I will pray. I will pray daily for the list of couples. I am looking forward to the new program that Shawn is introducing soon.

And there is more!! Owen has been in a foul mood today. We exchanged a couple of text messages. So who do you think he took his foul mood out on? ME!!! In a funny way, it shows that he still loves me. I know I should be upset about him being miserable in text message, but I am not, I think it's funny!

Now, I have gotten home from work today and there was a letter for him, from his credit card company. I had thought that he had changed the address on all of his personal mail and then that turns up! Remember he has been gone for 5 months now. It's not looking too hopeful for the OW, if his post still comes here after that lenght of time!!!

Thank you Father, I know that you are moving.

Amen

Oh Boy!!!!!!!! That is awesome. Praise you Jesus Thank you My Lord!!! he is simply releasing miracles one by one. Yes you are right sweety... when we are upset we alyzzz take that out on the one we love the most.

And of course it shows that he knows you are the one who would understand his moods so he takes the freedom of spilling himself just the way he is on you. He is very much depentant on you Donna.

I think the Lord has let him realise bit by bit that no one can sooth him like the one He blessed him with.

He is sure on his way back to your arms honey let's get ready to celebrate ;0)

May He surprise you today and keep you smiling :0)

Hey you know what honey, even I went through a similar experience during the last vigil and I remember Carrie-Ann also sharing how she was most vulnerable during those three days.

I was so crushed sometimes that I had to cry. And the weariness was so much and I felt so tired that I thought I might fall off a sleep before making through the hour.

But now whenever I feel tired or emotional I offer that pain for the healing of a marriage. And I also offered to share the burden with someone, anyone and told the Lord to Put the tiredness on me so that someone who was tired would be relieved. That kinda worked in keeping the devil from discouraging me.

Praying for you dear. May your kindness in praying for others return to your hundred fold and may He give you your heart desires and more. I pray that communication floodgates would be open between you and your husband and may your inbox be full of mails from him soon

Love,

Hasanthi
