What can be done?

"first of all" > 1 Timothy 2:1-4

"rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." (1 Peter 3:4)

Who can predict the human heart? We fall in love despite all sorts of logic warning us not to.Then live with the result.

We can get God's correction of our ways which made us able to do what is wrong. And then discover what He rules us to do in His peace > He can use whatever we have gotten ourselves into - - so we are not just living with it.

So true. The teaching and guidanceis always here to help us grow. 

I think i am put in place to lead my husband to be saved. He is a good decent man but steeped in the influences of this world. He has not yet made the leap into knowing the things above. The glorious treasures only Jesus can provide. I am surely uniquely placed to influence him as nobody else can? With love.

I am new in faith, so can somebody please explain does these advices you have given to the OP apply only to he married couples, but not to the ones that are dating and unmarried? Or is it the same for both and why?

I have just started a similar thread before I saw this one. I am in the same situation, except that we are not married.

Well, i love him.

But i feel sad today. I mentioned a Christian women's gathering i want to attend. A worship and teachings day. My husband said oh it sounds like a cult. That they will all be 'happy clappy'. He said it mildly as always, he is a gentle good man but still. It means he thinks christianity is a nutty cult. I keep quiet. Hoping one day he will realise going to a mormal anglican church is not a cult.

May  both of you get to be all "happy and clappy" together soon. My own bride and I have  now that I have consented to  going to and even joining one of them there kind of churches. 

 I like that; "Happy and Clappy"! It is a good description of the joy  deeply felt in the emotion of the presence of the Holy Spirit at worship, sermon, and fellowship once not being resisted by me and my own stoic upbringing.

 I went from stoic unbeliever atheist, to chosen and frozen Baptist, to all work and no play lessons, until my own bride said she misses her Pentecostal leanings, and we found - were led to- a more happy - clappy worship house of our Lord Jesus.

Now even I sometimes find myself raising my arms in praise of God during worship music. I even get a tear or two or more on occasion. Hurts my tough old crusty geezer look, but hey I just don't much care any more. I'm all Happy and I do get at least  hand raising  and toe tapping if not clappy.

May God move the two of you to a place of corporate worship, and may each of you have the comfort of the Holy Spirit dwelling within.

Precious sister, his actions show Father is drawing your husband, he's making excuses up in his conscience, if the Holy Spirit was not at work he would be totally apathetic and indifferent, his comment would've been, ...have fun, enjoy yourself, see ya when you come home... 

Remember Paul, ...It is hard for you to kick against the goads. Acts 9:5

Dear one, I congratulate you on your decision to not leave, I know it must be tough, is there a woman's ministry that meets regularly at your church that you feel you can confide in and ask for prayer, is there also a men's ministry that that meets for a Saturday Men's Breakfast and Work Day that ministers outside of the church in the community that your husband could comfortably attend without all of the churchy surroundings and trappings?

 Jesus is our Lord in our vertical relationship, your husband is your "lord" in the horizontal relationship, ...please, may I humbly suggest, if you are not already, treat him as you would Jesus if He came to visit, go that extra mile, ...remember, more is caught than taught, sounds like he is resisting his own conscience.

Nancy Missler's book, The Way of Agape, is an excellent testimony of her marital problems and how the Lord helped, granted her and Chuck were both Christians, but the spiritual principles she learned work for both believers and non-believers.. 

Lord bless

That's where I'm at right now. Once a mindless robot during worship, now I dance with flags in my hands at the back of our sanctuary.

Can't say I have seen that. Flags as in flag drill team flags? Interesting,  -are there others with you also waving flags?

I have images of the Baht Rivka Whitten DVD singing Ha Ben Yakir Li and waving a large flag waving as she sings and dances, and I also having competing images of crowds waving little flags running through my mind's eye.( Just decided to play that DVD as I read here.) I'd post the link, but it is on Youtube - Easy enough to find if interested, the worship lifts my spirit.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
