according to Matthew 18:19....that the LORD would speak to the heart of my husband.

We were married in NY State, on March, 31 this year.
My husband is a seer prophet. He does have a good heart.

But due to visa laws I had to leave the country in about 20 days.
I could not understand why my husband told me since the third day of our marriage...in some days, YOU TRULY ARE MY WIFE....and the other days...NO, YOU ARE NOT MY WIFE....

It hurt me. Today I know that all he wanted was to be convinced that he had made the right choice, he did not want to be led by his feelings or anything else, except for the LORD. He wanted HIS perfect will and that alone. He married me, believing that I was God's perfect will for him. Then he started having doubts whether he had heard it right.

In May he told me that God probably wants him to divorce me and marry some other lady in the neighboring city. A couple of months later he was sure she was not of God for him.

So, my husband, although a good man...and a prophet and a seer himself, has been tossed to and fro. He has been disappearing for many weeks... the only way for us two to communicate at the moment is whether the net or the phone.

I do not hold anything against my husband. He says to me that he is deeply in love with me. Yet he cut practically every connection with me...I do not even know where he lives today.

He says that he could have married me because he was so much in love with me...and it may not have been the will of God. That probably all the visions and confirmations he got about us together could have been some major trick of the enemy. That in this case he needs to divorce from me.

I know that I was seeking the LORD very diligently concerning my marriage.
I was also before for years in prayer...and deep travail....concerning the will of God and HIS plan for my life. I prayed hard...until there was a total breakthrough. I know that the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the LORD. I do not think that when we ask God for bread, HE would give us a serpent. I think the LORD knows all our choices...as HE is outside time and room.

Could you please pray that the LORD would move supernatually and would give my husband a clear knowledge....was our marriage then of HIM or not. That he would understand what is what.

My husband loves me and wants to live with me. But he has been simply confused whether the choice he made by marrying me....was now of the LORD or his own great eagerness.

Could you please join with me in prayer and agree in faith that my husband would have full and unshakable assurance concerning the will of God.

You husband is No prophet and No Seer. Any One who walking with the Lord knows that you don't do what he is doing and is using God as an excuse for his behavior. His behavior is not of God. He has abandoned you and this is wrong, very wrong. I am sorry, so sorry for your pain. Part of being faithful is to be faithful in your heart, keeping unto Your spouse. What he has said to you is totally ludicrous. No matter who we marry God helps us to be right people. Nowhere in scripture, could this man justify his actions or thoughts as being from God. He is a fallen man living and acting in his falleness and saying its of God. Don't believe this lie. Satan is the father of lies. The bible says many will be false prohpets and curses them. God is bigger than all the lies perpetrated against you.

Jesus, I lift this sister up to you. You know her pain. I pray healing to her heart. Father let the truth come out right away. I have the strong feeling this man is a bigamist, let the light shine on this. Show her where to go and what to do to find out the truth. Help her to file an extention on her Visa. God give her people to care and help her. Father bring this man to his knees. Humble him to the point of giving up. Humble him until he only can surrender his life to You. Satan, you father of lies I command you away from this man. I command you lying spirit to be silenced in Jesus name!

JeriRose posted this but I think it applies to your spouse.

Ezekiel 13 (New International Version)

False Prophets Condemned

1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination: 'Hear the word of the LORD ! 3 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the foolish [1] prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! 4 Your prophets, O Israel, are like jackals among ruins. 5 You have not gone up to the breaks in the wall to repair it for the house of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of the LORD . 6 Their visions are false and their divinations a lie. They say, "The LORD declares," when the LORD has not sent them; yet they expect their words to be fulfilled. 7 Have you not seen false visions and uttered lying divinations when you say, "The LORD declares," though I have not spoken?
8 " 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign LORD . 9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD .

This is what you must do now in Psalm 55:22 Do as it says in Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (KJV)

Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. (NIV)

Then replace what you had your focus on towards the burden you were carrying with the promises of God.. Go find them in the bible and read them and rest in them ..
((HUGS)) God Bless..

Also with your husband being a seer prophet he should then be seeing the Holy Spirit telling him to repent and to surrender to him fully in his ways, if he is not seeing this he is walking in his own ways and strength and is not truely seeing things through the eyes of God..

Sis, Wow!! I have read this serveral times and all I can say is WOW! It is my prayer that your eyes will open up to the truth and that you will no longer be bound by the deceptions of your husband. A husband DOES NOT act like this and a true man of GOD REALLY DOES NOT ACT LIKE THIS!! I will be praying for you, I will be praying that your eyes open up to the TRUTH.


Father God, I pray for the eyes of Tiina to open up quickly, without delay. This man, her husband, is not a Prophet. He is no where near Isaiah, Daniel, Elishja or Elisha. You spoke intimately to them and You use them for Your glory. May Tiina realize the lies that her husband is telling her, expose each and every one of them.

He is deceived into thinking that he is hearing from You, but I know that You would never call a man to act like this. You would not allow a man that You have given to Your bride to be treated as callously as this man is treating Tiina. A true man of God does not treat his bride like this. May Tiina understand that.

A marital union created by You is full of love and respect. You would not allow Your daughter to be with a man who one minutes says he loves her and then the wind blows say something completely different.

Your Word says that when a man finds a wife, he findith a good thing. May Tiina see that she is a good thing for she is created by You. You love her and You would never give her a marriage like this one based on lies.

Her husband is a liar who is deceived by satan. I pray that each and every deception comes to light. I pray that satan's attempt to hurt this woman any longer is foiled. Open her eyes quickly. Let her see her husband for who he truly is.

Place a divine hedge of protection around her from head to toe, letting no area of her exposed. As each lie is exposed, I pray that You will hold her just that more tighty. Continue to reassure her that she did not wrong, she just met the wrong man. Cradle her in Your arms, carass her spirit. Just love on her as she really needs to be covered in Your love.

Father, again I say let the deception come to light. I know that You will protect Tiina and hold her as it all comes out. In Your name, I pray. Amen

This is Pastor Jerry:
I have to agree with Christy. You husband may have seemed like a nice person before he married you but now he does not want to keep his word.

What kind of God would we have if the Lord said:
I loved the world so much that I gave My Son for the sins of the World
But today I feel like I do not want to do that any more.

The word says we are the bride of Christ
Jesus does not want a divorce.
Jesus has not changed His mind.

Your husband needs to get good saved.

The marriage vow was for life. It was not for a few days.
Your husband is suppose to love you as Jesus Loves you.
Jesus still loves you so if your husband is a man of God he will keep his word.

I Know this may hurt but it is the truth.
Pastor Jerry

Tina, I find myself hurting for what people say, you know this man, we don't, it dose seem like he needs to get close to God, the confussion is not from God and I know you know this. I will be praying for him to get close with God, cause until he dose he can not make anyone happy, So until he dose this you need to be closer to Jesus like never before.

I also think that he has a calling on his life cause of the serverty of the attack on him.

2 Cor 13 If we have not Love all this other stuff is no good. So he needs to fall in love with God. We all need to fall in Love with God

I am really sad and I will lift you both up to the Lord


Posted by: Tiina

Don't I know after being married that he must be misled.
But I also know the power of prayer. I know the might of my LORD whom I serve. I know that HE knows no such word as impossible. HE knows the hearts and the minds of men. HE can turn human hearts to do according to his good pleasure. HE has the hearts of the Kings and Rulers, and turns them...as we pray...as the brooks of river... to do HIS will. ( Also my husband is the head of the family. )

I know that the LORD is able to change anything. Where there has been darkness, whether through ignorance or hurt or bitterness, HE is able to bring in HIS light.

The same with my husband.

I am in a situation where I CAN BE WITH HIM ONLY WHEN THE THING IS OF THE LORD. IF NOT - I have to remain in my home country. And that's fine too, provided it is the LORD. --- But as to me, I am faithful and I will do what is right. I shall fast and pray and seek the LORD. The rest is in HIS hand. It takes a miracle in both cases.


Posted by: Tiina

But I have an unshakeable faith that the LORD is able to tell all that also to my husband.

The LORD could get through even to Balaam. My husband is a lot easier case.
The truth is that sets free.

I know what is what, but as he seems to be confused, then I also know that the LORD is able to come with HIS Truth, and let him see what he has not been able to.

And he is a minister and has a very big vision.
We all are flesh and blood, and may flounder at times. God is bigger and knows it all. HE can also turn all things to our good, to serve HIS purpose.


Posted by: JeriRose12

Yes, we can agree with you in prayer for God to get ahold of your husband. But the Bible makes it plain that a true prophet of God would not act so, and our concern is that you are saying he is a seer and a prophet and a "minister with a very big vision."


This is Malachi 2:

Admonition for the Priests

1 "And now this admonition is for you, O priests. 2 If you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart to honor my name," says the LORD Almighty, "I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart to honor me.
3 "Because of you I will rebuke [1] your descendants [2] ; I will spread on your faces the offal from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it. 4 And you will know that I have sent you this admonition so that my covenant with Levi may continue," says the LORD Almighty. 5 "My covenant was with him, a covenant of life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name. 6 True instruction was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin.
7 "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction-because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty. 8 But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty. 9 "So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law."


Judah Unfaithful
10 Have we not all one Father [3] ? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our fathers by breaking faith with one another?
11 Judah has broken faith. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the LORD loves, by marrying the daughter of a foreign god. 12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the LORD cut him off from the tents of Jacob [4] -even though he brings offerings to the LORD Almighty.
13 Another thing you do: You flood the LORD's altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. 14 You ask, "Why?" It is because the LORD is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.
15 Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. [5] So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself [6] with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.

The Day of Judgment
17 You have wearied the LORD with your words.
"How have we wearied him?" you ask.
By saying, "All who do evil are good in the eyes of the LORD , and he is pleased with them" or "Where is the God of justice?"


I do not believe he has the call of God on his life to be a seer and a prophet, if he is going directly against the truths of the Bible. Why would he even question if it's the will of God that he married you? Now that he married you DIVORCE IS WRONG!!! If he has to ask, he IS NOT a prophet! We don't get alone with God and have Him speak to us something that opposes His Word. Anything God speaks to me when I ask Him for a word or answers will line up with scripture. In fact, often, The Still Small Voice of God will speak a word to me, then I will find a corresponding, confirming scripture THAT VERY DAY. Your husband can find NOTHING in the Bible to confirm such a word that maybe he is supposed to divorce you, because you are the wrong woman. The Bible will tell him that you are to be as one flesh and that what God joined no man should separate.

Dear Lord, I pray that you will open the eyes of this man to Your Word. He needn't look any further then the Bible. If he wants Tina to pray that he will hear from God on this, I pray she will show him Malachi 2:16. God hates divorce, plain and simple. The end. I pray he will realize he is no prophet of God. I pray his heart is turned to You and he repents. I ask that he wuold make no claims to being a seer and prophet. For why can't he SEE Malachi 2:16? That word has been in the Bible, stating your desire for couples to remain married for about 2000 years. It doesn't suddenly change for him. Show him the truth!!! Dear Lord, break this man, humble him! Take the pride and arrogance out of him! How can he say he's got the call of God on his life, when he's going against Your Word? I pray, Lord, that You will intervene to let him know the truth, so the truth can set him free!!! Deliver his soul from a lying spirit and from the spirit of confusion! Set him free! Set him on the path of righteiousness! Save him from going his own, willful way! I pray he repents big time, and makes peace with God. And, I pray, he stays with Tina and becomes the shephered in his home. Make him a Godly and righteous husband and father!

Comfort Tina. I pray that she will know what to do to help him see the truth. I pray as long as he is in rebellion, she will have you constantly comforting her and loving her. Pour out Your love on her, Jesus. Be her all and everything. Be her husband! Always be her husband, even once he repents and is living right. I pray she will always put YOU first, above all, and that she will never expect her husband to be what only You can. Make her marriage strong and beautiful and all it should be. But let her put YOU first, even then, as her REAL and ONLY Husband!

I pray and ask all this, in Jesus Name, amen.

Finding HIM in 2004


Posted by: Tiina

I know what is what. I can also curse him, but I have chosen to bless him.

I hope you noticed I did not tell about a single thing he had done unto me. I chose to forgave and forget and not make mention of this anymore.

As he is my husband, I have chosen to do and behave right, no matter what I see or know. I still am under him. And I do believe that the LORD is mighty enough to intervene.

Our words have also a lot to do with what we see happening both in our lived and the lives of the others we are talking about. WE may choose to speak things that are true, but not edifying, nor giving glory to the LORD...and this would not change the situation....or choose to speak faith then.

Yes, his vision is big.
And as he is my husband I refuse also to speak about any of his deeds, they are buried under the blood. I also know that a prophet is known by his fruit. Yet, I know I was seeking the LORD....and HE told NO, to all the men I met....until I turned 39 and met him. I also told the LORD to finish it all in bud, if it was not HIM, and meant it with everything within me. Of course I did not stop there, but tested this relationship from every imaginable angle. I gave the LORD many times free hands to finish it all, and even prayed and behaved the way that allowed HIM to do it. - Also my husband was the first man in the course of 17 years I was able to let close to my heart. Something happened to me when I was young that did not let me to enter into any relationships at all. The moment I saw any feelings in my heart, I let them be killed, for I was so afraid.
Now, I did reckon also with the fact that the LORD could have just healed me miraculously by this very moment. I did reckon with all of that. I did send my husband the most awful pictures of me to make him back out. For me too, I had been waiting for the one the LORD had for me all my lifetime. I did everything imaginable to ruin that relationship as well. And I did not take him as the will of the LORD because the things went this time the right way.
I married my husband for I believed it was the LORD who had pointed him out for me.
The rest what followed was a nightmare...in the spiritual sense.

But I am married. And the pastor who married us was a very strong prophet and a very Godly man, and he respected my husband. Yes, my husband does have flaws, but who won't.

But I still have maintained my faith that the LORD is able to work out HIS perfect will in any situation and turn all the things to our good. Even if we both saw wrong visions and got all the wrong confirmations...for as we were living in different countries, the more we had to rely on the guidance of the spirit.

I have tested all my motives both now and then. I followed what I believed was the LORD. And I shall stand in my faith. That the LORD CAN do all things, that there is nothing impossible unto HIM. And HE can turn the fate of my husband as well. And reveal Himself unto him, showing him HIS TRUTH. AND SETTING HIM FREE FROM EVERY CONFUSION AND FEAR AND LIE OF THE ENEMY. I have that faith and I stand on it.

And HE can turn the fate of my husband as well. And reveal Himself unto him, showing him HIS TRUTH. AND SETTING HIM FREE FROM EVERY CONFUSION AND FEAR AND LIE OF THE ENEMY. I have that faith and I stand on it.

The key to all of this that is going on in your marriage is to first and foremost put your relationship with Jesus first, and to set a personal time of prayer apart for Jesus alone to speak to you.. Quiet yourself and emotions before the Lord and allow him to lead you into his presence and to show you things you might have not seen from not calming and quieting yourself before him without nothing being said, and then listen in your heart to only what he has to say to you.. Stay in that secret place until you come out with the breakthrough you needed to hear from the voice of the Lord in prayer.. And before you know it from abiding in the secret place the anointing that is on you will begin to flow into your husbands life .. The anointing is what breaks the yoke of bondage. I believe he is going through a stage in his life where he is wanting to learn Gods voice but has not yet truely learned it which is why all the confusion he is having.. The voice of Jesus will grip and stablize every single part of your spirit, soul and body without any confusion there when he speaks.. If you want to see a mighty work done in your husbands life tell him to daily in his own personal time of prayer to seek Jesus with all he has and before he knows it the Holy Spirit will begin to lead him into the secret place and will begin to teach him about his voice and presence.

When in the Shekinah Glory cloud of Almighty God during prayer and when being led by the Holy Spirit from within his heart all confusion and anything that is not of God will begin to be exposed and he will begin to see in the areas of his life he thought was of God being removed in the Presence of God, for being in the Presence of God will change you. The character of Jesus as you are soaking in the presence of God will begin to come all over your spirit,soul and body and in return when daily seeking the face of God he will be transformed going from glory to glory into having the characteristics of Jesus from spending time in prayer daily and in Gods presence..

1 Chronicles 16
11 Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always.

Jeremiah 29
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Colossians 3
15And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].

Jesus begin to move mightly in all of this and begin to make ways where there are none in all of this.. As they both begin to seek your face daily in prayer lead them right into your very presence and glory cloud causing your presence to overwhelm them as they are seeking you in prayer..

Fidning HIM in 2004


Posted by: Tiina

It Is All Good....but I Am An Ocean Apart....and I Heard Almost Nothing From My Husband All The Summer Long....( Ok, I Tell You That, I Do Not Hold It Against Him, But He Disappeared With All My Money And Clothes And Documents --- And I Was In My Home Country With A Child And No Living Place - As My Husband Took The Money For The Sales Of My Apartment Here To Start With His Business That He Later Told God Did Not Allow Him To Start.... )

I Still Do Not Know Where He Lives....neither Can I Go Visit Him.... Especially Now When Instead Of What I Have....i Had To Develop Major Debts...to Somehow Go On With My Life Here....it Happened At A Time When I Had A Summer Vacation From University And When My Last Salary Came In June....and Next Still Has Not Come... It Will, In October....

When I Was With Him And Prayed For Him In Tongues, It Affected Him The Way You Described....

Thank God, Only A Few Days Ago He Has Started To Write Me Again....after Not Replying To Any Of My Calls Or Messages For Many Weeks....i Am Sure The Lord Is Doing His Work In My Husband's Heart....

And --- I Am The Kind Of A Person You Described, Intimate With The Lord....but I Also Must Confess That When I Thought That I Could Have Missed The Lord...after Such An Intense Seeking Of His Face...and After So Many Confirmations....i Was Totally Disappointed And Told Myself That If I Truly Missed Hearing Him, I Did Not Know How To Hear His Voice At All...

Me Too....also I Am Called To Minister Fulltime ( I Used To Be A Pastor And In Charge Of A Ministry For Many Years ) Like My Husband Is...and We Share In A Common Vision....and Like Him, So Have Also I Lived In The Name Of Seeing That Vision Come To Pass....yes, It Is The Lord Who Does It All....but It Also Depends Greatly On What We Choose To Do...


Posted by: ANOINTED WARRIOR

I can only say this in encouragement for what you are going through. Bind patience around your neck so you will not go ahead of God in a situation that may be coming around the corner. Also stay calm so you will stay grounded in the firm foundation of Jesus and relax knowing Jesus is bigger than this situation you are in and that you are his child and he will be there to provide every provision and need that needs to be met in your life when you trust in him and rest in his promises knowing he is sovereign through all you go through.. God Bless

The Lord Was The Only That Was Left....besides My Daughter.

I Could Only Look At Him, For In The Natural There Was Nothing To Do Anymore....but He Has Been On The Move....and I Have That Faith That What He Has Started He Will Also End....he Is Faithful To All His Promises And Just...

I am very sorry to be the one to say this; your husband sounds like a con man. He used you, he tricked you, he stole from you, he took your belongings and what you and your daughter required for your home, leaving you homeless... yes... I HAVE read what you said about him, and what others' replies have been... sister... he is terribly backslidden if even he ever was a man of God... there is repentance yes...there is forgiveness yes... one thing confuses me... you said that the Lord told you NO to all the men you had meant previously...but yet you have a daughter...how can you have a child, if you was saying no?

Your husband is not showing traits of a godly man... a godly man would not desert his wife, and then say it was wrong to marry her... God told him to divorce you and marry this other woman now.. no wait...it wasn't her either...it was another woman. You have no idea where he is... he has not contacted you,... your husband may be married to you legally, but he is NOT IN your home, how could he be the head of your household? Our marriages are suppose to be the example of how much Jesus loves the church...and respects it...your husband is not loving you like that, not respecting you like that.
PRAY IN TONGUES for an answer to this... pray in tongues for God to reveal the answer without a doubt that the answer has come from God... pray in tongues because it is God's PERFECT WILL...not emotions, not feelings, not words... GOD'S PERFECT WILL...i will also be praying in tongues for this. I was also taken by a con man in my first marriage, who promised so many things...all lies, he said what I WANTED to hear...not what the TRUTH was... the truth is what is needed here.




Posted by: Tiina

I also told that there was a tragic event in my life that left me unable to let any man approach me for many years...actually, until the time I met my husband.

And no, he is not a con man.
Just confused. He does have a good heart. But one can also be sincerely wrong. And I have forgiven and bear no grudge against him. I understand.

But it is a spiritual issue. And it would be best if I had the gift of discerning the spirits, this would enable me to help him the best way, then I would not be groping in the dark. There is something amiss. Yet, it does not make my husband a bad man, if he has at times followed the voice of another spirit. It happens from time to tim to all of us. There are many voices, but only one belongs to the Spirit of the LORD. Of course we also know that the LORD will always speak in accordance with HIS Word, never against.

Yet there are dimensions in the prophetic that I am not full familiar with.
For a prophet my husband is.
And God's heart is in prayer and change.

in all the countries there are laws. So also in US and in my country. If my husband would want to come and live here, then I need to be the one supporting him. But I live in an European country where the prices are amongst the highest and the salaries amongst the lowest, the three Baltic states have taken the last position as to wages comparison. So I would not be able to support my husband with my income, even while I work here with 3 jobs on a constant basis.

Also I am not allowed to the States, before the paperwork is in order, and it can not be done before my husband has whether property or a required amount of finances. As he was in fulltime ministry from 1999-october 2003, he does not have anything much in the natural at all. It is allright with me, but not with the State. - Well, I now had that sum, but as he chose to follow the voice of the spirit guiding him that told him to do a different thing, he now needs to expect a miracle from God.

My husband does love me and he would want to be with me, but it takes a divine intervention in any case. I do not have his present address, but he gave me his cell phone number, and now in his last mail, his table phone number. There is an enemy out there who enjoys creating confusion. Especially if people are separated like us. I know that God whom we serve is greater and can bring clarity and peace to a situation where there has been a turmoil. - My husband was thinking about this other woman and whether he should have married him, for years ago he thought he heard God telling him that she was the one, but when he went to check it with the pastor over him at that time, he told that yes...but due to heavy warfare it may not happen - and in this case God will bring another. So he took me as that another.

And yes, in October 1992 the LORD spoke to me with HIS audible voice while I was in Orlando, FL, as a prison minister. HE spoke about ministry, and what HE had in store for me in future. --- After hearing this, I prayed in tongues for years....very strong...I travailed and birthed out all there was to it....until there was a total breakthrough....these were not the ordinary little prayers....but deep prayers...at times I was in travail for days at a time....all the time when I was up...and did not have to be at work....I prayed namely for the will of God for my life...and what I had heard from HIM ---- and I do not think that after all that, HE was leading me into error.

Even if there needs to be a change...then I am patient enough to pray and wait - for years, if needed, to see the LORD bring about the change to the present situation.

Dear Tiina,

I am not anything but a believer and I am not as well versed as others on this site. I have been going through my own bitterness in my marriage but please, this man needs prayers of enlightment first.

Your marriage cannot go forward until he understands that our life her is about trust and tests. God entrusts with the souls of our children and our spouse. When we treat those poorly, he weeps out of disappointment but yet he still loves.

Your husband show remember this first.

tiina, my 2nd son was born under the same type of circumstances as your daughter... I too, chose to have him, and raise him, loving him as much as I would had he been conceived under loving circumstances, in a marriage.
And tiina...at times I have been blessed with the gift of discerning spirits.

Your husband calls himself a prophet...God's word says:

Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Deu 18:22 - When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord,.... Says he comes from God, is sent by him, and has a commission from him to say so:

if the thing follow not, nor come to pass; as the prophecy of Hananiah, Jer_28:3 that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken; or otherwise it would have come to pass, unless when a condition is either expressed or implied, as the repentance or disobedience of a people; see Jer_18:7.

but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; in a bold and daring manner, with great impiety and impudence, out of his own head and heart, being a mere device and imagination of his own, which, not having the fear of God, he delivered as coming from the Lord:

thou shall not be afraid of him; not only to reprove him for his wickedness, but also to punish him for it; showing no regard to the high character he assumes, nor to the great pretensions he makes to sanctity, knowledge, and familiarity with God.
================================================
Jer 28:9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.
then shall the prophet be known that the Lord hath truly sent him; and not till then; it is the event that must make it manifest: in the other case it may be in a good measure known before it comes to pass, and, whether it comes to pass or not, that a prophet is a true prophet; because his prophecies are agreeable to the word and the declared will of God; contain evils threatened on account of sin, and in order to bring men to repentance, which must needs be right; and besides, they have no interest of their own to serve, but run contrary to the stream of the people, and are exposed to their rage and censure: whereas, a man that prophesies of peace, he is more to be suspected of flattering the people, and of prophesying out of his own heart; and nothing but the event can show him a true prophet; which if he delivers with a proviso, that the people do not do that which is evil in the sight of God, to provoke him to deny them the promised good, is always certainly fulfilled; and if it is not, then he appears manifestly a false prophet.
==============================================
Eze 33:33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
whatever is predicted by the Lord; in the mouth of his prophets, certainly comes to pass: then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them; and acknowledge it; and particularly that Ezekiel was one, a true prophet of the Lord, by the exact accomplishment of his predictions.
=============================================
So God's word says when a prophet speaks from God, it will come to pass... this is your measuring stick. May God grant you wisdom concerning this.

In these past months I have rummaged the bible in every direction concerning the prophetic and prophets. I did it also before, but not that intensely. For now that has been an expediency.

The man who was the biological father of my daughter is dead. And what happened then is under the blood, forgiven and forgotten.

But when married, I discovered it rather quickly that something was not spiritually right. Yet, my husband sees 24/7 everything what takes place in spirit realm, and has the knowledge about the things in the past, present and future. He foretold me already since the beginning, when we met, that there will be launched an attack against us in the spirit realm....he foretold me everything that I was going to think about him in future...and what some ministers with whom I was working here were about to tell me concerning him... I forgot his words...but later I remembered all that.

Yes, I understand what you have been trying to tell me, but truly it takes only one little thing. The intervention of God. Truly it is only an easy thing for HIM to show up and present the Truth to my husband...making him face it so clearly --- that it would leave no room for any misunderstanding unto him. - If it takes that in his case, I am ready to fight and fast and pray, until the breakthrough.

Of course...when he told me in May to make a choice...whether to be with him....and have him as a husband....or serve the LORD....or go to any services in church. - I told in response that I thought that by choosing the LORD I got also my husband who was a minister. --- But THAT statement surely could not have come from the spirit of the LORD. - Yet, he IS my husband. - And after so much seeking of the LORD, I believe that the LORD brought him to me. I did not follow my feelings or anything else, but what I believed was of the LORD. - It may be that it takes a bit of spiritual warfare now to get things straightened out. But married I am, and I am noone to give up thus easily. I will pray and fight until I see the answer to my prayers. And of course I will listen to what the LORD has to say. For HIS will has always been the only thing I have desired to do. I am not perfect, but one I can say - THE LORD has my will and my heart.

Tiina, I have been praying for you daily since I read this request on Friday. I really, really pray that your eyes will open to the truth. As folllowers of Christ and the Word, many of us have given you the truth about this man based on biblical scriptures, and however much we want for you to see the obvious....... At any rate, again I say that this man is not a prophet or even a man of God right now. His actions are not Godly nor are they in line with God's Words. If you haven't placed your husband on the salvation forum here on annointed.net, I impore you to do so because he needs saved. Be Blessed.

Father God, again I pray for Tiina's eyes to be opened to the TRUTH, Your unbiased, perfect TRUTH!! May she see that this man is not from You nor is he a respentation of You. For Your WORD is faithful and true and Your Word says that when a man findith a wife, he finds a good thing. It doesn't say to love your wife one minute and then the wind blows you don't. May Tiina see the inconstitenties of this man compared to Your Word and may she finally see, without a shadow of a doubt just who this man is following and is bound by. Move mightily. Amen

has ministered with the most widely known prophets of God, and they have recognized him. He also was singing for a long time in Benny Hinn's 1000-member choir. He sure is saved. Also the prophet who is over me looked at him and told me that he does have a good heart and is a good man.

maybe he is just flesh and blood, who has doubts sometimes and errs....like all of us. Noone is infallible. The greater the call, the greater the resistance and challenges.
The LORD is greater than this all. And HE can reveal HIS plan and purpose why HE wanted me to get married namely to him. AS to me, I was looking at the LORD alone, while seeking HIS will in that matter. I did not take it easy.
Now when married, I do not believe in divorce, but in divine intervention that would set everything right.


Posted by: Tiina

God answers prayer.

I was asking you to agree that the LORD would speak clearly to my husband's heart. And He did.

My husband turned back to me on Thanksgiving Day....and on his Thanksgiving Day, the LORD finally spoke to him, as clear as possible.

And now, he will no longer waver or have any doubts, was our marriage of the LORD or not then.

All it took was one word from the heaven.
The intervention of the LORD turned it all. And He changed the whole condition, 100 %.

My husband was always in love with me. But he started developing fear lest he could have chosen wrong and maybe it was the enemy giving us all the confirmation and maybe it was just his own will to have me...and it kept him tormented. And that was why he gave up on me, almost totally.

But now, the LORD has spoken. And he heard it crystal clear. And there is no more room for doubt. And it was totally of God. And the LORD confirmed him as a signs prophet in training in HIS ways that were totally understandable to him and that he could not take in two ways, he now is 100 % convinced that what we had was of God.

And now he and me too, in my country, need financial miracles to get together, but the LORD shall do it now, I feel now a total release in my spirit. For all the hindrances are gone.

My husband told me that he was sorry and he never wanted to be controlling, but he thought sincerely that it was what the LORD wanted him to do...whatever was done. And I understand, I have not a single problem with any of it, I have forgotten all the past, and now my husband is able to turn his back totally to all the past and move forward from this point now and here.

Isn't God wonderful ?
He surely is.

Father in Jesus name, i ask You to intervene is this situation. Clear the confusion from this couple and set them both on your straight and narrow.

Open the eyes of their heart Lord as to what Your will is for them and for their futures together.

Bind up and cast out the enemy and his many tricks.

I thank you for hearing my prayer and I praise your Holy name, forevermore....

Amen and amen

At first I thought that if the LORD already did move and turn everything from total hopeless....my husband told me twice and most seriously last month that he wanted to divorce me.... and then he never answered any of my mail or calls - almost the whole summer....and when he came online, he is in NY and I am in Europe....he never replied....and I was in a condition where he had got all my money, I had no living place here anymore, no money coming in for a vacation season....and the most modest rent for a studio apartment....was all I made in a month....plus more....and I had a child to support....and my clothes and things were all with my husband who had to do my papers....but then said that God told him that he was not allowed to and had to leave me instead....then yes, I was asking, who was the One he called God talking to him and all these other questions....

If now the LORD intervened indeed...and turned my husband's heart totally, 100 % to me....then I was first thinking at the sight of your prayer....that if I gave here thanks for a thing done....then why pray more....but you sure were led by the Holy Spirit and doing a good and needed thing....

Prayer is always needed. Well, after hearing....after a long aquaintance with my husband....less than a week ago, that his vision to establish a church that was originally meant to be like the early church....well, I understood that my husband meant it in the fullness of God's power, and had anointing in mind....then I must confess...that great was my surprise to hear from him then....like a bolt from the blue...that his vision meant....to restore....the church in the form the Jews have....or I should say had....in the days when temple measurements were given and altars were built....and golden utensils were used....

So at first I was a bit taken aback...and thought in my small shock that my minister husband must have been in religion or astray....but I took my time...and understood that there may be some wisdom in it....if he keeps in mind ministering to the Jews....and provoking them to jealousy....uniting both....their language, and the heavenly....

But when I was slow in my responses....then my husband got upset several times....and was several times telling me to leave him as I could not understand....and I was thus in his way.... all I asked was a bit of time for prayer and thinking....just meditating...what was it what he was trying to tell me....

But by God's grace I could get wisdom and express patience not to react to any of his remarks....and when I responded to all in meekness....he calmed down....and understood that I could not grasp in a single moment all he had been hearing and thinking for 20 years as a believer....and now he has been calm and considerate ever since....

Well, only when he came back, he at first told me that I can never think anything that may disagree with him....well, he has been not looking at my deeds, for I tried to talk in love and walk in love and not upset him in any way and submit to him as much as I could, yes even in places where I did not think he was doing the right thing....I explained, but as he was adamant, I submitted, and respected his decisions....he was seein in spirit and judging my mind, or probable thoughts that I may develop at the sight of the spirits he saw attacking me...that was all....and when I was not always this quick to say an enthusiastic YES to all he told....but remained silent and contemplative.... he thought I was opposing him, that was why he needed to hear from the LORD that I indeed was the one....

And the LORD did exactly as I asked HIM to....
And I am most grateful, for I think that love covers the multitude of sins.... and forgiveness is above all....my husband with his seeing could understand that I was asking was the source he was hearing certain things indeed the LORD or any other....and he found it hard to forgive me that I did not trust him in all his decisions fully, 100 %....I did not tell him anything, but yes, as at times I did think....and he could see and understand that I had questions in mind....he started developing doubts whether he really now married God's perfect will....or just proceeded in flesh....and I am grateful to the LORD that HE had grace on me....and answered my prayer.....although HE did not have to do anything....we got so much confirmation when we first met....that most people would have been dead sure....and so was I when I married....but then the storms begun....and when I was here without money and a child....and no place to live at....waiting any moment to be reunited with my husband....then hearing the words about his intent to divorce....and his statements like....God did not allow him to give me any money back....and wanted me to be as I was....then it made me feel slighty uptight in my spirit and question....what was troubling him....yes, I developed questions....some which I should not have had....and developed some distrust....and that gave the enemy ground to work.....so our relations were tested and tried....but what came out was pure gold....the LORD is in charge....and has been all the time....

I believe that my husband would be affected by my prayers....and they would keep him in God's will....as he truly wants to do this....the reason why he was so adamant and requiring his way so often, yes even things that I knew to be harmful to me....was namely that...he thought he was hearing certain things from God...but I think he missed that....but don't we all do that at times, we most certainly do...only it may have less disastrous consequences....

And yes, dear Mom, your prayers were worth gold...as well as the prayers of every other who felt led to agree in faith with me....
All I asked was for the LORD to speak....and He did....in a way, that was making my husband so convinced....that he could not deny my origin anymore....
I did not want to give him any answers to that question, as I was not God...but the LORD did it....and that saved my life and marriage....and I am glad...if my husband were to follow his heart in all things, he would be most perfect man for me....but he does have good intents....and a good heart....

and yes, Mom, your prayer was good...and addressed also all my present questions, because after hearing about this vision, that I knew to be very much different...I was myself a bit....asking....what was it then....and yes, I too, needed prayer myself....
Thank you.

Lord, I ask for truth and justice to rise up in this relationship.

I ask you to comfort her and help her find out all she needs to know.

I ask you to guard and keep her and meet her practical needs every day.

I ask you, Lord, to convict this man to return her money and tell her the absolute truth.

Release new life in her and let her be a blessing to her child and to many others.

In Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen.

God has been good to me.

HE turned my husband's heart totally back to me. It was a tremendous attack in the spiritual realm, surely there is an enemy to our soul who did not like it too much that the LORD brought us together.
But the LORD came and intervened. At the time when my husband had told me twice last month....that he felt God did not allow him to live with me and he felt God telling him that I was disrespecting him and he felt God telling him that he HAD to divorce and was not ALLOWED to live with me.
I sensed that all it took was a word from the LORD indeed. And the LORD did speak. And convinced my husband....in ways that he could not deny.
He wanted and loved me all the time.
And I knew his heart. I only could not understand what was it all, and what was happening. But in fact he never did hear God telling him any of these things....as the LORD was silent instead....and my husband took it as ominous silence. And proceeded to assume the worst....and tried to protect himself from heartbreak....as he did love me....by not responding to me and cutting himself off from me.
And he wanted to provide for me. Thus far he still has not given me a single penny. But at least I may know his heart. His heart has been turned 100 %, fully back to me, and he is most loving...and he is sincere and he does not take me any longer as his enemy, but as his closest friend, and he is able to trust me.....and this is like day and night from what it used to be. ( For some strange reason, he had lost his ability to trust in anyone....except his mother who is very nice and in the LORD ). God alone could bring about such a miracle.
But no, he was not ignoring me because he hated or disliked me, it was just the enemy painting all kinds of wrong pictures, but we do know that the enemy is a liar.
The LORD spoke....and changed it all.
My husband has not been able to return me any money....for I do not know now how it is possible for him to live in such constant lack....after all, he lives in a States where the conditions are so much easier to get back standing on both feet, if staggering....but even today I know that he has the deadline of his rent payment....and needs to trust that the LORD would do a miracle.
In fact it was the lack of finances....that made him lose faith....in us....and think that probably the LORD was not going to move....as soon as he expected HIM to...and he thought that he was unable to have me.....and then he proceeded....so as to spare himself from emotional breakdown....
I knew that he loved me...the last night I could be with him....he was crying in the other room where he prayed...as he was so downcast....and did not want me to go....but I had to, because of my daughter who was alone at home...and a promise I had given to the consular officer....to return and not to breach any visa laws...
So, there had to be a short season of separation.
Just the enemy was creeping in, trying to make it a permanent one.

Now he needs to have 18 000 USD minimum whether in assets or cash....and he needs to believe it from the LORD....for without this no visa shall be granted to me. Plus he needs to believe the LORD to move and bring in the remaining needed sums...an additional 16-17 000 dollars....

So, this was defeating him in his faith...and he gave up. And I knew not why, for I knew how he felt about me, and this made me repent of every imaginable thing....possible and search my heart and search everything that I could have done wrong....and try to do everything possible for restauration.
But on the exact day when I totally ceased from any of my own efforts...the LORD moved. And I tell it as a magnificent testomony, for all may seem financially the same...but there is faith today. And the love has been restored. And all the lies of the enemy got exposed with one single move of the LORD.
I can not marvel enough at the sight of HIS great grace towards me. HE is the LORD. And HE did not have to do anything at all. But HE did. ( HE confirmed him because I asked, and because all of you agreed with my prayer....and then added even more confirmation in the strongest prophetic manner ). So within one single day, and yes, it was Thanksgiving, the LORD turned my fate and life from total disaster...and hopelessness and despair... to a blessing and raised us high, as if on eagles wings...and we have been on the go ever since, and there is no going back anymore.

In reading through your prayer and some of the responses that I have been posted I faith in believing that you have received the answer that you seek. I know that it is hard to hear and believe what we do not want to be true. Listen sister to God please listen. I am sure in time you will find that your husband is not the man that he says that he is. God bless you sister.

Father I felt the spirit telling me that you are answering her questions through your people. I know that it will be hard for her and that she may feel some pain but this is not what you have in store for her. What you have in store for her is peace, joy, and happiness. Father please give her strength to continue on in your name. Father send the holy spirit to her husband. Show him that what he is doing is wrong. Father show him that he is lying on the holy spirit. Father bless this sister with the spirit of discernment. In your son's holy name I pray. AMEN

Thank you for your prayers. The LORD answered exactly my prayer. All I asked from HIM was to speak to my husband what was HIS will concerning us. I wanted God to speak up and tell it to him, so that he would understand and believe and know what was what. And the LORD did it. That was all I ever asked.

The rest what you mentioned.....
I trust the LORD has not stopped HIS work.

The blood of Jesus has been shed for the remission of sin.
Our lot is to forgive....like the LORD does it, by deleting it off as it never were, and then HE shall have freedom to move.


Posted by: Tiina

BUT IS THERE ANY THING THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE LORD.
SURELY NOT.

I HAVE EVERY FAITH THAT HE SHALL ALSO COMPLETE THE WORK THAT HE HAS STARTED - AND WILL TURN EVERYTHING TO GOOD, THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE. I AM NOT RELYING ON MY WISDOM IN THESE MATTERS, BUT ON THE WISDOM OF THE LORD. HIS WAYS ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN MINE. HE CAN DO IT ALL.

DEAR LYNN, I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN AND THE CONCERN OF MANY OTHERS, BUT I AM SURE I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE PATH OF THE LORD. HE HAS MORE WISDOM IN THESE MATTERS, HIDDEN WISDOM THAT SHALL BE REVEALED IN HIS TIME. THE OUTSIDE IS NOT WHAT MATTERS THAT MUCH, THE HEART IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT.

Dear Tiina,

I can see that you are convinced that you are right, and I don't think that you have any money to give him, but my only request would be not to give him ANY more money.

If he came back and is contacting you it is because he wants something. He may just be checking to see if there is any more he can take from you.

It is true, we are to use God's wisdom. Be we are also to use the good sense that God gave us.

You asked for this board to pray, and we are praying.

We are praying that you wake up in time to rescue yourself and your dear daughter from a man who would refuse employment in the USA and leave you in those terrible circumstances with your child while living on YOUR money.

That is NOT the will of God. No way. That is just stealing and laziness.

His mother is neither 'nice', nor 'in the Lord' or she would not support and condone this.

It may actually be illegal fraud.

If you have visions, shake them off and do the right thing. Focus on supporting and making a secure life for your child.

If other Christians say he is okay it is probably lack of information about him. He may have them fooled. They don't know him the way you do. No one would allow anyone to minister under these circumstances.

I am so sorry that this man is behaving this way. He may have some real mental problems or he may have just been spoiled rotten all of his life.

I am so sorry that other Christians seem to be supporting this behavior.

I am so sorry that you are in such trouble financially.

God bless you and give you wisdom and courage.

Lord Jesus, I continue to cry out for dear Tiina and her child. Lift them up, meet their immediate needs and give them long term security. Bless her and surround her with everything she needs to know to make good choices.

In Jesus' Loving Name, Amen.

He did go to work, at the end of May.
And now he has told that he was sorry. And he tries hard to establish his business. I am sure that now when the LORD has turned things right, he shall be doing good also in that.

I speak the Word of God to you! dear sister
God's Word is not in vain!
May God speak to your heart directly !
Save you and your husband, your child!!!

In Jesus Name!

This is my favorite chapter, I listen to them daily!!!

Deuteronomy 28

Blessings for Obedience

1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:


3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock-the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.



7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD , and they will fear you. 11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity-in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground-in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.

12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.



Curses for Disobedience
15 However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:


16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.

18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.



20 The LORD will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him. [a] 21 The LORD will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. 22 The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. 23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. 24 The LORD will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.

25 The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. 26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away. 27 The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 28 The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. 29 At midday you will grope about like a blind man in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.

30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and ravish her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. 32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. 34 The sights you see will drive you mad. 35 The LORD will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

36 The LORD will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your fathers. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone. 37 You will become a thing of horror and an object of scorn and ridicule to all the nations where the LORD will drive you.

38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. 39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. 40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. 41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity. 42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.

43 The alien who lives among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44 He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be the tail.

45 All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the LORD your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. 46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. 47 Because you did not serve the LORD your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, 48 therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.

49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young. 51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined. 52 They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the LORD your God is giving you.

53 Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the LORD your God has given you. 54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you-so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot-will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For she intends to eat them secretly during the siege and in the distress that your enemy will inflict on you in your cities.

58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name-the LORD your God- 59 the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60 He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. 62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the LORD your God. 63 Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.

64 Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods-gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. 65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. 66 You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. 67 In the morning you will say, "If only it were evening!" and in the evening, "If only it were morning!"-because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see. 68 The LORD will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.
