I have been off line. The computer at home is a mess. I came to the office and found an email from Zack just now:

Quote:
I have about month and a half and then I am free, and
then I'll be back.

I am thinking a lot about us, and what we should do to
make it better and best of lives we can have.

Sorry for me sending you so short e-mail, but I have
to run very soon.

Love,
Zack
your DH


I am glad to get this of course. It is an answer to prayer. I had a very difficult weekend and was in prayer (like I was in a vigil but I didn't have a list of people to pray for, just a few names I could remember).

I spoke to God and praised him for how he is the creator of the Universe. I was watching something on TV about how Physicist have found that inside an atom there are particles that are afloat in space. I was very impressed by this. I know that this "space" is God. God holds all atoms together. (And an atomic bomb is the epitome of s. as it requires that the space be eliminated to cause the bomb to burst.) I got to thinking about how many molecules there was in my body and how many atoms there were just in side of me, let alone inside of the entire planet and then the other planets too. (Even if there isn't life... there is matter.)

If God can hold all of these things together all at the same time than of course he can heal cancer and bring about peace in time of war. And he can raise the dead. He can even break through the chasim created by Adam and Eve with original sin that seperated humans and Him. He did that by bringing his son to this world and starting his growth here as two a cell and then a group of cells and then a baby.. etc. and then that man who was also God who holds the universe together actually agreeing to be disrespected and beaten almost to physical death before allowing the nails to be put through his body and his physical body to die. He holds the atoms together that made up the nails that was put through his own body!

Then taking on not just the sins that had already occured in the life of the chosen people, but all sins committed by every human everywhere on earth, and not only what had already happened, but all sins that was going to happen ever. He died on the cross for the sins I have not yet committed!

If he is so loving and so giving to me to do that.. than surely he can save my marriage. But if saving my marriage is not what is best for me, then I have to accept that. I have to be willing to go up on the cross myself and to die to my wants and my will and my demands about what should or shouldn't happen.

Really, in the great scheme of things, holding all atomic elements in all forms of matter throughout the galexy and beyond for one example. My marriage is such a small thing. But on the other hand. His love for me is so great and so awesome that he calls me His daughter. He says that I am heir to the kingdom of God. Since he is so big and so knowing I must stop trying to pretend that I might know what is best for me.

Kimberly, When I was praying about this.. speaking these things outloud, I was lounging on my sofa. I found myself leaning back with my arms out to the side like I was laying on a cross. And I was sweating. Every pore of my body was sweating. I could feel the FIRE of the Holy Spirit. Usually I speak in tongues to feel that but I felt it right then. I was still crying and weaping and calling out to God but I felt how awsome He was and how Great He is.

After I said "amen". I looked at the TV and Benny Hinn was on. I took it off "mute" and this is the very words Benny said: "Someone out there needs to hear this. Your prayers are heard and it will be alright." and something more after that but I couldn't hear because I was yelling: "I claim that in the name of Jesus!"

That was last night. I went to noon mass at the Catholic church today and then came to my office and found that email. (I'm not Cathoic, but I felt led to go to Mass. I wish I could have taken communion though.)

Also today I found office space I can use during the day from morning until 3:00 in the afternoon every day for only $100. So I will give up my $500 a month office and have space to use for almost the entire work day/evening for only $200. Praise Jesus!

Praise Jesus! Praise God! God you are Allmighty! You are Holy and worthy to be praised to the ends of the earth!

I am trying to be happy, but honestly, I am not happy. The enemy is really attacking me and I am fighting back as best I can.

I have to remember that I can not make decisions based on my emotions. right now I feel like being confrontational with him for not answering my questions about where he is living, where he is working and why he is needing so much time to pay back what I understood was not such a large sum of money.

But instead, I have written a "draft" of an email and carefully did not send it.

Now I am just going to focus on my spiritual walk. I yelled at my mother the other day and was short tempered in general for a couple days. I need to get a grip and show more of the fruit of the Spirit.

Father Lord,

be with my sweet sister, please. Lord help her to wait upon You. God, also help her to continue to lift up her husband, and trust his decisions. Lord, thank you for these things. Thank you for taking care of her husband, and thank you for the promise that you will bring him home safely. Lord, one day all of her answers will be answered. Please, Lord bring my sister strength.
thank you Jesus, amen.

Praying Against The Spirit Of Divorce

Believers must oppose the spirit of divorce that is so prevalent in this age. There is no other alternative. Believers need to pray for marriages, especially those that are in trouble. It is our duty and our privilege to intercede for these couples. If your marriage is in trouble, you must plead with God for the marriage. If you know that a marriage is in trouble, you must stand in the gap for that marriage. It is time that the church stops giving up on marriages. It is time that the church humbles itself before God and intercedes for couples. Divorce does not have to be the norm. Broken families and lives do not have to be a daily reality. As long as God is in heaven and God's people pray, there is hope for marriages and families.
The following prayer requests are for a marriage that is in crisis. These are suggestions to help you know how to pray in this situation. You can use these requests to pray for your own marriage or other marriages. You can use these suggestions by placing the names of the couple in the blank. As always, be sensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit as you pray. He may give you insight and Scripture to pray as you intercede for yourself or the couple. Plead the Word of God! Pray with faith and persistence!

Father, I pray that You will deliver ______________ and _______________ from self-centeredness. Grant that ____________ and _____________ will have a servant's heart (Ephesians 2:3; 2 Timothy 3:2; Matthew 20:28; Philippians 2:5-11).

Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that You would bind the work of Satan from this marriage. He would love nothing more than to destroy ____________ and ______________'s marriage. I ask You to stop His work in their lives and destroy his attacks against this marriage (John 8:44; Genesis 3:11-13).

Lord, I ask You to convict and deal with any unconfessed sin in ____________ or __________'s life. Enable us/them to deal with any sin that is hindering their marriage (1 John 1:9).

Father, I plead that ____________ and ____________ will speak the truth to one another in love. Cause ____________ and _____________ to honestly share their feelings without being arrogant or spiteful. Through love and honesty, enable _____________ and ______________ to work through their differences (Ephesians 4:25; 1 John 4:7, 11).

Holy Spirit, I pray that You would create a spirit of forgiveness in ____________ and ______________. In the name of Jesus, I plead that we/they will put away all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and slander, along with every form of malice. In the place of this, I pray that we/they would be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other as God for Christ's sake has forgiven them (Matthew 6:14-15; Ephesians 4:31-32).

Father, I plead that You would bring _____________ and ______________ into a more intimate relationship with Yourself. Cause us/them to long for You as the deer longs for water. Grant us/them a hunger in their soul for You. Create within us/them a spirit of prayer, especially for each other (Psalm 42:1-2, 63:1; John 17:3; Colossians 4:2).

Holy Spirit, I plead that You will convict ___________ and _____________ about the problems in their marriage. I pray that Your conviction would be deep and sharp. Deliver __________ and ____________ from being defensive and self-righteous about the problems in the marriage and Your conviction concerning these things. Grant that ___________ and ___________ would humbly accept Your conviction and will change as You deal with him or her (John 16:7)

Father, I ask that You would deal with any past problems in _____________ or ______________'s life that is causing trouble now. Your Word declares that You heal the brokenhearted and that You bind up their wounds. In the name of Jesus, I ask You to be true to Your Word and heal the emotional wounds and baggage that we/they have in our/their lives (Psalm 147:3).

Father, in the name of Jesus and by the power of Your Holy Spirit, I plead that _______________ will love ________________ as Christ loved the church. Cause _____________ to have a sacrificial and serving love toward ______________. At the same time, in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I plead that _______________ will be a loving and submissive wife. Cause ____________ to support and minister to ____________ (Ephesians 5:22-33).

Father, I pray that You would rekindle passion and desire between ______________ and ______________. I ask You to bless our/their relationship and cause them to rejoice in it. I pray that ______________ and ____________ would be satisfied and exhilarated with each other's love (Proverbs 5:15-23).

Lord Jesus, You have declared that what therefore go has joined together, let no man separate. You have declared the will of the Father. It is the Father's will for marriages to be for a lifetime. You desire one man to be with one woman for life. This is Your heart's desire. Because this is Your heart's desire, I plead with you to save and strengthen _____________ and ______________'s marriage. Because this is Your heart's desire, I ask in the name of Jesus that You will do whatever it takes to protect and defend this marriage. O God, do not let sin, Satan, circumstances, or problems separate what You have joined together (Mark 10:2-9).

Hey,. Mellie, I like that prayer, thanks for the post.

Fellow Standers... I have fallen!

I wrote and mailed an email in which I told him I felt he was being unfair to me and that if he is committed to improveing our marriage he needs to start to communicate better with me starting now while he is there.

Then I said that since I had not heard an answer to him about my getting him the airline tickets that I have decided he doesn't need me to get them for him.

I told him that I loved him and wanted us to have a good marriage so it wasn't all confrontational.

I noticed that he has read this email and didn't respond to it.

I have thought about sending him an email in which I tell him that he has a chance to get me to buy the airline tickets but he has to tell me by Monday otherwise I will use the money for office rent and stay in my office one more month to see if I can build up enough to keep it.

I am in real trouble and I don't want to spend more money on airline tickets and want instead to focus on my financial stability. So, I have decided not to send him that option. If he doesn't return because I didn't buy him airline tickets and he has been working all this time over there, then so be it.

I have really had it. I waver in my committment. I just wonder if he is really worth it.

So, please pray for me and for us. Pray for God to heal both of us.

I am not going to write to him and I am not going to even think about his coming home or not coming home. I am going to pray for our marriage every evening for an hour (as I have been). During the day I am going to focus on other things. (That is probably why I am not here much now... also I won't let myself put the computer at home on line until I get some work done that is more important than me being on line.)

I have a meeting on Monday about office space at a church in the next county over. This could save my business! I believe God is opening that door.
