A Dream from God:
My husband called me in the middle of the night (we are separated because he was abusive/violent) and was weeping from a dream he had, he was not very descriptive so I don't know which perspecive it was. In the dream he said he saw himself outside mowing the lawn (our house doesn't have a lawn). He saw me and our daughter who is 2 1/2 (his stepdaughter) in the house. It was cut in half like a doll house so he could see inside. I was washing the dishes in the kitchen at the sink (we don't have a dishwasher) and Emily was playing in the living room next to me. He cried and said he was sorry and I was a good woman and got so convicted from the dream. He went back to sleep while on the phone with me and told me the continuation of his dream the next time I saw him. It continued and he said in his dream that he fell forward on my scissors (they were closed). He said they were the scissors with long blades like the ones I own. He said that they went through his chest and that he died. In context to those dreams the next time I saw him I found out he had been tempted by porn and then he started drinking again. He was very remorseful to the point of tears for both things but didn't communicate any plan to protect self. He has been born again 2 times and backslide 2 times. He became very domoneering, controling, negative&criticl with me and our daughter but has been convicted alot (but holding back from God). He got off his medication & last night he asked for a divorce.
I had the dream interpreted at a dream site. In this time and age that we live in as in all times dreams are being released. The site's motto: God has chosen to communicate with mankind through dreams. Our purpose through this website is provide a way for those who have studied and learned Godly Spiritual Dream Interpretation to help those who have not had an opportunity to do so
It said: The first dream of your husband was so that he could see the issue of divideness that exists between you and him. He was allowed to see the cleansing you required from the relationship. He was allowed to see the preciousness of what he is losing. The second dream indicates he is experiencing spiritual death from something he fell into that is damaging his heart. God gave him these dreams to help him. You can use these for understanding as you pray.
He had the dream shortly before all this went down. I got the interpretation back after all this happened (separation, him falling into really bad sin). As soon as I heard it, it rang like truth in my spirit (as well as my mom's)Well he is not dying anymore because I am praying, I say that in faith.
Pray for my husband Andy's salvation! My husband has backslidden and has fallen into something that is damaging his heart and killing him spiritually (God spoke that to him in a dream too I believe from what he told me of the dream). Pray that God will protect Andy from the condemnation that the enemy has been trying to put on him, as well as the justification of sin/self-pity/blaming others that results from unconfessed sin/ not repenting. Pray that God takes all pride away from Him, pray that God is working into Andy's heart a spirit of humility so that nothing will keep him from submiting to the Lord. Pray God takes away all confusion, balances his mind, and gives hm a sound mind. Pray that God is bringing my husband to his senses and brings him to full repentance before him, broken for his sin, and discernment to see the work of satan for what it is! And most important that God will enable him and show him to cry out to Jesus for help and deliverance. Pray that God is delivering Andy from his past, from whatever Satan has used to cause him to stumble. That God will give him an undivided heart, that He will serve the Lord with ALL his heart, ALL his mind, ALL his strength, ALL his will. That God is giving him wisdom and revelation into his divine will. Pray against all lying and deceiving spirits hovering around his mind. That God is making wicked things unsatisfying, even disgusting to him, like bitter bile. That Andy will hate the work of those who fall away and hate sin, HATE sin. Let the spirit of truth, the spirit of conviction, the spirit of wisdom, revelation and understanding, the spirit of love come to Andy and crowd out all that is not of the Lord.
Pray for godly men to speak into his life. Bless his relationships with the mature christians, anyone who God wants to use to speak life speak truth into Andy's life. Let his sovereign will be done. I invite God to use people, give those people wisdome, annoint their lips.
That God is silencing all people, influences, voices, satanic powers that encourage divorce/adulterty or that speak death over our marriage. That God will show them to be liars, and that the truth will prevail. Father direct Andy's steps day and night. I declare that my husband will live and not die! Let his heart be flooded with the light of truth. I ask and plead and thank in advance God for taking out Andy's heart of stone and giving him a heart of flesh that is soft to the Holy Spirit and to submission to the Lord.
Pray for a hedge of protection around our marriage, Ask God to take away the source of the division in our marriage. Also specifically for our marriage bed stay undefiled and that God will wall/block Andy in with a hedge of thorns & keep temptation/sin. That God will keep him away from the temptations of unfaithfulness/ sexual immorality/ lust. I am asking God to orchestrate circumstances, and supernatural intervention against all the tactics of Satan that seek to destroy our marriage. If he decides to go to the bar, I pray that God will make his car not start. If satan tries to set up temptation/person to lead him into adultery, I pray that God will destroy those plans (make his phone not work, whatever it takes!). Lord guard his heart, his eyes, his mind from lust. I rebuke the spirit of pornography IN THE NAME OF JESUS. That God will bring reminders at every angle during this season to soften Andy's heart, turn it toward his wife, his family, most of all towards the Lord! Let all the confusion, and all blinders be taken off of Andy completely!
I Pray for supernatural encounters, dreams from the Lord for piercing conviction, severe discomfort/unrest in his sin until this prodical comes back & submits to the Lord. Let God arrest his spirit. Let this prayer be like an arrow that pierces through the darkness and speaks release.
That God will do whatever it takes to bring him to his senses (I specifically plead that it doesn't involve infidelity, take that cup from me this is my desire I plead my case protect my husands eyes this is precious to me. If it can be Lord but I choose to walk by faith, Gods will still be done) That he will come back home, but not the way he is. That he will be saved, and get filled with the Holy Ghost.
A sign. I pray for an obvious sign that God wants me to keep standing for my marriage, that my marriage IS being restored. A sign of good report. I still choose to walk by faith and not by sight. But I have not if I ask not!
For my family. That God is restoring our family soon. That God is protecting our little girl through this all. That Emily will be protected with legions of angels from all attacks/strategies of Satan. That she will keep a soft, sweet heart and God will keep it safe in his hands. I pray for angelic encounters, comfort, peace, security over my little girl. Help me to be a wise, consistent, loving, discerning mother for her.
Gods hand on my custody case with her other dad Travis. His glorious will done. That I will be sensitive to His leading, so I can cooperate and be in his will. For divine MERCY, favor and grace
The pretrial is set for this Friday, December 21st at 1:30pm MT. Please pray for us during this time!
Myself.
I want all that God has for me! If it is possible for me to grow and change in any way that would speed up our restoration that God will reveal it to me. That God will help me/teach me/grow me to be a powerful intercessor and take out anything/everything in my heart that would hinder my prayers. Let the Lord direct my steps. For the Lord to quicken personal promises to me for this coming season. That He will turn me into a true worshiper and that the Holy Spirit will fill me afresh with His presence so that might go forth in the fullness of His will, purpose and power. Satan is really trying to get me down during this season to make me think carnally about the situation and is attacking me with feelings of insecurity, jealousy, resentment, depression because of the porn thing. Please pray against these things. I invite you to rebuke them, war against those things oppressing me.
Please do not be bold with those things on Andy. He is not right with the Lord and is willfully choosing his sin.

Your husband, once saved and reborn, had not lost his Salvation thru backslidding, then got born again" a second time, after returning to God. As with the "Prodigal Son" story of Christ, your husband had wondered off, strayed away for a time, but came to his senses and returned to God, as such, had not originally lost his Salvation. Nor has he as yet to this point either.
The dream he had is a warning, should he stay in that sin living as he is, God will eventually leave him to Satan to die in his sin. (Story of King Saul- Old Test.).
King Saul was called and annointed by God to be King. Yet after a time, tho Saul knew God's Word and belonged to God, he got impatient and saught a witch for understanding. Now Saul had belonged to God all this time, while God chastised him to come back to Him- God.
Yet, after so many times, God gave him one last chance and Saul did not take it. Thus, God turned him over to Satan and to an early grave.
Thus, you'll not find King Saul listed amongest the Old Test Patriarchs the Apostles gave in the New Test.
So, your husband is still saved and reborn, but the split house clearly shows the division that seperates you. Your washing dishes shows you both need to get right before God and start the marriage fresh and new- (husband had dream, but you are washing dishes too).
His falling on scissors is the warning of what will happen if does not turn away from worldly lusts and come back.
Lord-
We praise and thank you for having brought this husband back to you once already, and now pray, you'll bring your prodigal son home once again back into your loving arms.
We ask for a healing and restoration of this marriage and for first Love, compassion and eyes only for you and each other be returned, that this can be a testimony of your Love for us and chastisement to bring us home when wonder off, to bless us even more, when return fully back to you. In Jesus Name- Amen!!

i AM AGREEING PRAYER WITH YOU.

Thank you for praying for us! I really appreciate it.
I think that Andy is definately not "lost" but I don't know if he would go to heaven where he is right now because even if you have once been saved you still have the choice to go back to the world and you still have the freedom to reject Christ even if you've once accepted him. How can you be reborn if you are not turning into that new creation, but instead heading back towards darkness? I have chosen to stand in the gap to intercede for my husband. At least this is what makes sense to me. God has to change his heart right? Take out that heart of stone and give him a heart of flesh. Maybe you can explain what you meant.

Lord, I pray Your Holy Spirit will convict this husband to do what's right regarding his relationship with You and with his family. I pray the snare and sgtonghold of pornography is broken. I pray he is delivered from a spirit of lust, and is immidiately filled with Your Holy Spirit and with His love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, temperance and meekness. I ask for abusolute miracles, causing doors to slam shut on sin and doors to be thrown wide open on righteousness. Let him love the Lord his God with all hsi heart, soul, mind and strength, and love his neighbor (wife & children) as himself. I ask and pray these things, in Jesus Name, amen.

thank you so much for your prayers. they mean sooooo much to me, and they will to my husband once he comes to his senses!
On Sunday I went over to my husbands house (only because he asked me to get my things). He was unshaven and watched me as I got my things, his voice was soft, sad sounding. I found a porno magazine under his bed and pic of 3 girls
(not that he took but from internet) in lingere on his phone. It made me very sad
and shook me for a while. I cried right there.
He said he was sorry, and grabbed it away. I was so upset and expressed feeling betrayed (I'm not beautiful enough! ect. I was emotional). I just looked at him, and he told me not to make him feel bad. Then I came back inside and told him there is no condemnation and I told him I would always love him and left. That was so hard.
I did not call him. I haven't the whole time. I am letting him go and just praying for him.
Well on Tuesday night at around 12:30 my husband called me and told me he was an uncle. (Right before we separated he was really set on getting me pregnant, I was weary of it because of the instability/his motives suspicious). I said congratulations, and he told me about the baby's name and weight and then said he had to go so he could go to sleep. Why did he call me? Is that my sign?
He told me earlier that he still loves me
and cries himself to sleep so God is softening his heart. He just needs to be delivered from this hopelessness and giving up selfish attitude and from the lies and confusion and blindness that Satan is seeking to put on Him.
God is doing it I confess in faith. (I believe that my faith will be growing so much through this).
This is the hardest thing I have ever gone through.
My husband looking at other women was my number 1 insecurity. He used to date models and led a crazy life dating lots of women and had shame/regret from that but that was the past....not really dealt with. As soon as he met me he put all that behind him, wanted to be a good man, stopped drinking (even before I wanted to!). So I felt really special because of that. The porno is so hurtful to me God. But I realize that this is a disgusting spirit that he is in bondage to. It is totally spiritual and not about my beauty or his love for me. It is something that Satan wants to use to make him feel condemned and be secretive and bring him down. I will not allow that to happen because I have God's spirit living in me! Both times it happened when I left the house to stay at my parents house for a few days (2nd time is now, for a while) so I guess he was not protected while I was gone since he ha been doubleminded with God/the world. Pray that God will give him a heart that is true to God, that desires him.
Also pray James 4:7-10 over him:
That Andy will humble himself before God. That Andy will resist the devil, and the devil will flee from him. That Andy will come close to God and God will come close to him. Let Andy wash his hands, purify his heart, for his loyalty is ivided between God and the world. Let there be tears for what he has done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter and gloom instead of joy. Let Andy humble himself before the Lord and then the Lord will lift And up in honor.
Please keep praying for him that heart is softened to God, and that he turn his life over to God. I pray for Andy to be bound to God's will alone, God has a will and plan for his life. Pray for a hedge of protection around Andy so that he will not fall into temptation. Pray that God will soften him and guide him back to me and Emily in the right way. I know that God is a God of restoration and will honor my prayer. Pray a hedge of thorns around Andy based on Hosea 2:6 to keep him from all relationships that would inspire adultery/infidelity. Also a hedge of thorns to keep him from any relationships that are set up to lead him into darkness. Pray that only the power of God will be allowed to enter into his house (no people of evil influence, that means only people who will lead him to God/speak life over him/give godly counsel).
