The fact you still pray for him while the evil spirit of Satan beats at your door trying to take you away from Gods daily grace is a sign of the Spirit that you have chosen to live under.. Stay strong Sister! God will be your protector...He tells us the battle is His , and you are claiming it...I heard a touch of doubt, when you said, even after all the prayers things are the same..
.Take refuge in God, and He will see you thru. Your love for him still is good... pray to maintain that. I have been thru very simular events with my wife only in reverse order. She was my Jezebel. I used to even have to lock my refridge because she would come over and steal things while I wasn't there. I was always nervous about my stewardship of things...
then God told me to stop. Unlock the fridge and let her take whatever she wanted out of the house...literally turn a cheek. I did so, expecting Him to stop her from continuing...Nope, not the way He was playing it..She took most of the kitchen items etc etc..I began to go back to stress over it..He stopped me again. Said NO..let her have what she wants..I was like am I getting the message straight?...So He talked overtime to me while I was in prayer that this was the right thing for me to do.
Finally, I just said, well you say you will have my back on my end of needs. You have judgement of her; so I let it really go this time all of it, and no more reservations about it. He has blessed me now. She has gone rather nuts to be honest. Not categorically , but I see the vicious Spirit seen in the stories of the gospels as the Leaders of the Law were at Jesus' conviction, Satan himself is seen in these words of attack.... My kind words, while being abused psychologically, My non-anxious demeanor, my letting her leave with things I said I did not agree with her taking, but holding the door as she left, Had her in ruins...My smile was like burning coals on her head, and the conviction of her sins thru the Holy Spirit speaking to her, was painful I saw it. And I was sad for her. Even tho I was the target of her abuse.
I realized something..It was then that my stress was really gone. It was then that the things of earth drew strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace. It was then I knew her abuse was not His will but he used it to deepen me. Not show her. In my weakest moment I was my strongest. She will have to face God mono e mono some day. Yet, God has given me the heart you possess as well , for we serve the same Spirit now..
I now wanted to pray for her not against her. I have pain, but not hate. I have betrayal, but I still reach out in love to her. I am, as you will be if you stay strong..in a place of deep reward, and the ability to minister to others in a special capacity, that now God can use to reconcile others to Himself, all the more.
Father, be with dimples...I see a woman that is seeking your face. I pray you protect her from the husband, yet I pray also for their marriage. God intercede in this situation, you say what God has put together let no man put asunder... bring him to realize what he has in the value of this Christian woman..and father use her testimony found in her demeanor that is from your spirit as she interacts with him in a gentle loving way, to bring him to wanting the relationship and himself to be found in the same victory she is living in... Give dimples your refuge Father, and as fellow brothers and sisters here at CC help us all to pick up the shield of prayer for our sister. Protect Her items we pray and let her be able to do the things she needs to exist and function, and we pray these things in your name..Amen! God bless you richly!
