Hello everyone,
I was on here last year around this sametime asking for my marriage to be restored, and by gods loving grace he restored my marriage, we are still married! But I am coming here again to ask for prayers once again for my husband for he is slipping away from God, he has a gambling problem, and although he quit alcohol I think he may be getting addicted to prescription drugs and maybe other drugs, which I ask God to reveal to me all things that are hidden, but yes please pray for my husband to turn away from this worldly stuff and to get right with the lord to serve the lord in Jesus name amen

Praying for your husband.
Just a thought he should probably seek councilling it sounds as
if he has an addictive personality trait.

In the bible it is written that old men will have dreams while the young men have visions. You can interpret dreams anyway you want but it is still only a dream. You and your husband both have to place God in the center of your marriage to steer it on the right track and keep it on course. Based on your post I would say that your marriage is rudderless right now and it is just going with the flow that is destructive. I have said a prayer for your marriage.

Who do you love more God or your husband?

If you feel in your heart God doesn't want you gambling or smoking, why do you do it?

I will pray that you stand firm in God's love and be a light that will lead your husband out of his sinful life, instead of following him down the pit of despair and suffering.

May the chains of addiction be broken and God's love and truth renew you and draw you both towards lives that reflect His glory instead of enslavement to sin and lies.

Since you both have addictive personality, seek the advice of an addiction counselor. If at all possible, a Christian addiction counselor. (The kind that counsels biblically, not merely counsels, and happens to be Christian.) You already admitted you have a problem. That's a big step. Assuming hubby admitted he had a problem with alcohol last year, he knows he's plummeting down the rabbit hole again. Those of us with addictive personalities have been like that for so long, we really don't have any idea how to live life without our crutch, so someone has to teach us.

As for dream interpretation? He's on drugs, so that's kind of like trying to interpret a delusion. Hard enough for anyone to interpret a normal dream, but the real world is so far from him now, he has no idea if that was chemically induced or not. If it's important, I'm sure God will give it to him again when his mind is straight and straight with the Lord down the road a bit.

Lord, please help this couple find someone who loves you and follows you with the ability to help them overcome. This may feel insurmountable for Jessica, but it's not through you. Amen.

Since he has all these addictions, he seriously needs counseling BUT God cannot and will not change him UNLESS he WANTS to be changed..

No i dont thibk he was on drugs during this dream he had... In his dream our 2 year daughter had gotten bitten by a sanke and he said he sucked out the venom n could tasts it in his mouth... He said there was lots of animals in his dream like it was a harvest season. N then he said my daughter said " do you hear them daddy, we have to go" and he said he couldnt hear anything but me and our kids could. He said we had to tell him which way to go, he said along the way. There was ppl coming out of everywhere trying to stop us and the road was narrow. Eventually we got to where we had to go and me n the kids were departing n he said he seen big crosses in the sky or angels and he was twlling us donr worry about me ill be fine. N then he heard a voice saying "it doesnt have to be like this, its not too late, repent now... And the. He said he woke up at the edge of the bed crying....so yeah that was his dream....and yeah i did some snooping and hes been getting miney off ppl i seen an interac e transfer for r90$ so hes beeing doing cocaine he took off for a night and did drugs the whole time, i really dont know what to do.... Im trying to stay strong ive fought for 3 years to be sober and so far i have not touched a drop of alcohol but it gets so hard sometimes when my husband takes off im lost right now..... I really love him so much i want our marriage to work but its hurting me to love him.....

Jessica honey I see that you are asking for prayers and I do pray for you and your husband. Girl maybe the alarms that you are bringing up here and that are flashing in front of you are signs from GOD that this young man is not the right person for you. Please take time to soul search. Please do not be like me and ignore the loudest alarms God gave me when I was younger about my husband. 20 plus years later I have invested in my husband and I will be honest I am still struggling with the way he treats me. Please take time to think about your future ask yourself these questions is he someone I want to be the father of my future children? He is someone I can rely on to help me or take care of things in a emergency situation? Is he someone I can feel proud about? Is he someone I want to grow old with? those types of questions you really need to ask yourself you are young and you can easily change your life and find a balance of happiness in your life.

The dream he had may very well be his inner mind telling him he is walking down the wrong path in life and he is hurting people he loves. One thing with cocaine is it will make people dream weird dreams as a side effect. I think if you want to tell him what his dream means tell him it means that the message is that it is not to late for him he can straighten up gain and repent and live a christian life. My suggestion is that maybe you all need to relocate get sober and stay away from the place and people that made him go into these bad habits all together. They are they devil so to speak and he needs to banish these people from his life if he is going to have any success. Please maybe move like an hour away from where you are now get away from the casinos and such. get both of you into AA meetings or NA meetings if you really want to make things work out and walk a life of Christ with you husband you both need to do it hand and hand . Reach out and c=gab your husbands hand and walk with him. Sit down and both of you make a choice that for your marriage and your child you are either going to walk together to fix your life or your going to walk away. The safety of your child is most important. If he says he is not ready to sober up and get on the right path you need to move out with your daughter to a family members house. This is for her safety and yours you do not know these drug people and gamblers he hangs around you do not know what they may do if he gets in trouble with them. So please please find a safe place to stay if he does not go into a rehab [place and get back on track. Either way also I would try very hard to move out of the area and start over. Good luck I will say prayers for you and your family and your safety. Please keep us posted and let us know how your journey is going God Bless.

I don't know how all these things work, but I do know this
"Which of you, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until you found it?" Luke 15

Anytime I have dreamed about a snake it either meant that I would see one that day or that a devious person would try to trick me into sin. So based on my own experience with a snake dream...they don't mean anything good. But that's just me. I wouldn't presume to say that it would mean the same for your spouse . You say in the dream your child was bitten but your husband sucked it out and actually tasted the venom inside his mouth?? Well that should tell him that the things he is taking into his body are poisonous. I could go on ..But I refuse to play dream interpreter. What I will offer are my prayers for your situation.I believe very firmly in the power of prayer.I believe this without a shadow of a doubt .
