Hang in there God is on your side.

Dear Sabrina:

We are standing with you coming against this attack in Jesus Name.
Satan take your hands of this young man.
What God has put together you cannot destroy.

Didn't the LORD make you one ....? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard yourself; remain loyal to the wife of your youth."For I hate divorce!" says the LORD, the God of Israel. "It is as cruel as putting on a victim's bloodstained coat," says the LORD Almighty. "So guard yourself; always remain loyal to your wife." Malachi 2:15-16

Jesus's teaching about divorce Matthew 19:3-9. God created marriage starting with Adam and Eve. "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Genesis 2:18.

Satan wants to destroy your marriage. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest." John 10:10

Satan has come into your home to destroy your marriage. He does this by deceiving one marriage partner that the marriage is dead. The spouse that is deceived wants out of the marriage. Sometimes they have someone else they want to live with. Throughout your marriage you may had "ups and downs" you may have had better or worse, but "the enemy, the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." I Peter 4:8

Your spouse has been taken captive by the enemy,
they are brainwashed,
they are deceived,
blinded to knowing the truth.
2Cr 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded their minds .... So they cannot see...

The devil has set a trap for your spouce ... you must be gentle .. and Pray that they .. "will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will." 2 Tim 2:26
Many people we pray for here are born-again Christians who were Pastors, Music Directors, Bible Study Teachers, Promise Keepers and active in Church leadership. We are praying that all these spouses,. will see the truth and be set free.

"Standing" means not giving up on your spouse regardless of what they may say or do. You are standing and believing for your marriage covenant to be restored.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Know God's voice
Read John 10. "My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow me." The Lord will go after that one lost sheep and leave the 99. Believe in the power of prayer. The Truth will set your spouse free! "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Mark 10:27

You are not alone

What about 1 Cor 7:15 with regards to the "unbeliever" or the "unbelieving". This could be a person, or even a Christian acting or behaving like an unbeliever. This goes to the use of the words believe, unbelief, believing. (Whoever believes will be saved...for example, does not include those that once very long ago had a belief, but rather, those that are currently in a state of belief. What is the evidence of belief? Fruit!)

"But if the unbeliever (or the unbelieving--those that currently lack the faith) leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace."
