Marriage on the rocks

Please pray for me & Sean. We have been married for 12 1/2 yrs and the last year has been very difficult to say the least. He has lied to me repeatedly about large sums of $$ and I am at the point where I can't take it any more - I am ready to leave. I told him to get a counselor or a lawyer but he doesn't seem to take me seriously. I was a child of (multiple) divorces so I know what that does to kids and I don't want to do that to my boys. But I am really tired of being lied to and being the one who has to make things better. Please pray that God would bring a solution to this - whatever it may be.

Claudia, before you even consider something like divorce, be sure you have tried everything else! Have you fasted and prayed for your marriage? If so, how often? Ask yourself, "Have I done everything spiritually that one person can do?" If not, then it's time to; because if you haven't, then you haven't really given God a chance to move. Sometimes, God's power is not moved until we give it all we have("he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him".Heb.11:6). It is only when we seek him with all of our hearts that we find him in certain situations(Jer.29:13). It's important to go all the way out because it takes more power to get some things done because of the level of demons that may be pursuing your family. Afterall, the Bible says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood(your husband may not be the real problem), but pricipalities(demons can influence the stubborness of someone's heart and cause them hold on to bad behavior). And since spirits may be involved(and the unrenewed mind of your husband opens doors for them), then you must do all you can to battle them spiritually. That's why I suggested fasting and prayer, which intensifies the power of God in you so that you can overcome the power of Satan. I also suggest group prayer where individual prayer has seemed to fail. The Bible says that "two are better than one"(Eccl.4:9); it also says "that in the mouth of two or more witnesses, let every word be established"(Matt.18:16). That means that there are some things one christian can't do alone. He/she needs more power. That power is in group prayer. Just one or two more people agreeing with you on something. Do it with people who care for you, or someone who will have concern for your situation. For group prayer to be effective, the people praying must be of one mind and heart. The Bible says, "Can two walk together except they be agreed?" That's why it's good to pray with people(christians) you have built a relationship. That bond makes available more power. The power of God is drawn to wherever there is love and concern between people. So Try it, please!

Claudia, be sure that you protect your own peace. Stay prayed up daily; be sure you meditate on the word more. These things will protect your peace and build your faith more so that you are able to overlook how things appear to be. Circumstances are convincing when we are not stirred up enough spiritually; it's hard to see how things are going to get better. But once your faith stirred up, nothing seems impossible then. We can trust God for anything then. I'm sure you already know these things, but somethings we need someone to remind us. When we are in the middle of something, we can get lost in it. But don't worry. Just go that extra mile, and everything will turn out fine. Believe me, I have seen marriages come back together that seemed way beyond repair; but when one person drew closer to God, God healed those marriages. The same will happen here.

God bless you, Claudia!
