My husband and I have been married for 5 years he accepted Christ as his savior a few years before we got married. I have always had a tough time with my in laws they don't like the idea that their son married me because he moved out and they were so use to him being home. My husband was molested as a child by his adult sister for 5 years and as a result has anger problems, is very introverted and is abusive mentally, and physically. He makes it known that he believes his parents over anything I say. Just last week I told my husband I didnt want my children at his parents house because they are alcoholics and he threw a huge glass down shattered it all over the kitchen than ran at me punched a hole in our wall and grabbed me by my neck and slammed me against our pantry door. He ultimately went to jail bailed himself out and came back to our house while me and our two daughters 4months and 5 years were at my sisters. He broke up the house even further I had to get a restraining order. The restraining order ended on the 14th my daughter turned 5 on the 16 so we went out together he acted like he really cared and he was so sad about everything over time that he had done. i saw a fb he had created while we were not talking and he was chatting with young highschool students pretending to be 15. i had to report it to the police he still says he didnt do it and was getting mad because he wanted me to say I believed him even though I didnt. He hung up on me today and i kept calling back and texting he ignores me often like this once he ignored me neary a month he stole our rent money while i was pregnant with our second child and i was evicted. I dont know what God wants me to do I been praying but i just dont know how much more i can take. Please pray for me

Sky87, I'm truly sorry your family is going through this. I will certainly pray for you, your children, and your husband. Please find a safe place for you and your children to stay. It's obvious your husband is in a bad place that is dangerous for you and your children. He must reach a place where he throws himself at the foot of the cross and surrenders all. He will also need Biblical counsel and someone besides you to hold him accountable to attending counseling sessions and whatever other methods of treatment are required to address his behavior. Even though we should always be seeking to grow closer to our Father we often seek Him most when are hurting. So, please immerse yourself in His word and place your faith in Him trusting Him completely for peace and understanding.

Hey Sky87, it hurts me to read your post. As, I have a close friend who is going through something similar. And, I know how much stress and pain she's going through, especially with kids. I am definitely going to keep you and your family in prayer. God and your guardian angels will take care of you and your babies. Stay safe, love. People care for you.

Praying for you and your children...and your husband (he obviously needs help). I do wonder why you want to contact him? He's abusive and violent, not to mention unreasonable. Please stay away from him and seek counseling for yourself. Do you attend Church? Pastors will sometimes counsel, or be able to direct you to someone. A church can really provide love and support.

Reading Scripture is VERY comforting so please go to the Bible (God's Word) for strength and guidance. May the Spirit guide and comfort you through this hard time!

What I am about to say may offend you, but I hope it does, and gets you and your wayward husband to wake up, come out of the darkness.
Your husband had an unfortunate past, abused by family what a shame, I hope they repent before its too late! Also I can see your husband is of the devil, and his god is the god of this age I am afraid! You said he accepted Christ as savior, but did he really? The main point here, is did Christ accept Him????
He is still carnal sold under sin, and in danger of hell fire unless he truly repents and comes to a saving faith, he is full or anger, hate and rage, and this is not a good place for you and your family to be in, I dont mean to sound harsh, but his great abuse to you and your family is no excuse for his past abusive history.
He is taking our his anger and pain on you, and is in great sin and bondage!
I encourage you both to repent, and seek the mercy of God, there are no easy answers here, you may loose everything, but you will gain your savior back, but it will come with a high price!
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
As long as mankind has breath repentance can be found, yes I mean found, it usually doesn’t come until the sinning soul breaks down, yielding to the holy word of God, through the conviction of the Holy Spirit, who is convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment!
Joh 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Joh 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Joh 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Joh 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Now many will say repentance comes after the conversion, or somewhere down the road since stopping any sin is impossible, since mankind is depraved and unable.
But God is not mocked, God is still waiting patiently for His wayward creation to repent, forsake their sins, which mean they stop first, and then seek His mercy, broken as a wild horse, now useful to His master. He gave them free will and ability to choose to repent or not.
Rom 2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and the forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
If your life is a mess, and you are living the lie, that tells your conscience you can sin and live of the world and still be saved, and in bondage to your flesh, giving into temptation whenever it comes knocking at your door, just remember it’s not God condoning your bad conduct, but your conscience becoming seared to the point that real repentance and faith will not be found, it will be too late, His great mercy and kindness will not last for long!
So it’s not too late for those who still have breath, and are ready to stop playing Russian roulette with the patients and mercy of God, this is not a game, this is life or death, for all eternity, repent before it’s too late and God says time is up.
Tommy
The Biblical Characteristics of True Repentance: (as taught by early church and Apostles) 2Cor7:10-11 “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.”
For True Repentance to have Taken Place the following MUST have Occurred:
1) Season of Deep felt Godly Sorrow for sin. (Invoked by Spirit of Truth working, Jh16:8)
2) A Crisis of Conviction that Cuts to the heart! (Sin already being forsaken!)
3) A Zeal to CLEAR oneself of all Wrong Doing against God. (make restitution if necessary)
4) Indignation and Fear that leads to Vehement Desire to STOP Sinning!
5) Vindication and Finally PURITY of heart!
Every incident of Repentance in Scripture Follows this PROCESS. (DON’T Let anyone tell you it Doesn’t, and they will MOST certainly Try!) The Sin STOPS HERE, The Old Man DIES here, The Flesh is Crucified HERE! NOT Afterwards. The Desires and Conduct are CHANGED here. (Or never will be!)
OBEDIENCE to God follows in NEWNESS of Life and All things New! (Rom6:4-6, 2Cor5:17) If you have NOT Experienced this and have NO IDEA what it means, you are NOT BORN of the SPIRIT!!!
You may indeed have ‘RECEIVED’ Christ, and ‘Believed’ on His Name (repeated some words) BUT the Devils ALSO Believe! (James2:19) If a Person is SAVED by What he DOES and NOT by Faith Alone! (as James affirms, JS 2:24) The What he DOES PART, STARTS with This REPENTANCE!
I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds! Acts26:20
