Yes Lebanon is one of the better country for Christian at least before the 2023 liquidity crisis. Now with Hezbollah there is.

Does he let you work? Allot of self esteem can come from a job well done. This will combat the some negativity at home. Are you attending church? You should have the shelters numbers and enough money to rent an apartment on hand.
I used to work before we had kids but I made the choice to stay home and homeschool our five kids I haven’t found a church yet . It’s just been me and my Bible for the last couple of years . Immersing myself and learning .. I grew up catholic but never knew Jesus as a catholic . I’m not sure which denomination to follow but I realize at some point I will need to have a community.
Yes, keep doing that
And I am praying that I stand with you to God so multiple prayers and Rebuke are aimed towards the spirit controlling your husband.
Thank you so very muchYes, keep doing that

My mom grew up Catholic but switch to Pentecostal regardless of denomination what is important is if the pastor has the holy Spirit and is preaching the right doctrine. Mabey the church will have counseling. Perhaps he would be open to a counseling? Hopefully his heart will be softened.
But in the meantime It might be a good idea to get a job online.
If it can't be worked out. I will be praying for you. God Bless.

To be blunt its why were told its best not to. We as believers have all power authority over the enemy.. so one could take some authority over that house when the other is not there.. you pray over it. Open that front door and kick out what ever the lord puts on your heart. Anionite places in the house. All things are possible with the lord but He will never go against mans will. The spouse must do what He said in His word when it comes to marriage. My dad.. was ooh very very mean.. my mom loved the lord at one point he would not allow her to take me to Church. They prayed and then he let me go but that was not done over night. Again he was not saved yet one day at Church I was told by someone I must ask him for forgive me. Yeah he was the one that beat me with a board.. and called me all kind of names.. things without Christ scar you forever. She was crying when she said this to me.. I was crying.. me ask him to for give me?
So about a week later we were down stairs dad off to my left.. I see the clock above the TV (only 3 stations with PBS) the clocked showed 8:30pm. I look at him and ask "dad will you forgive me if I have ever hurt you". He looks back answers yes will you forgive me. To that I say yes. I call that woman the next day and said I did it. Her words "was it about 830 pm when you did this? I said "yes how did you know" She said "the lord told me to pray for you right then"
Now I am not sure who many understand why the lord did that. There is no "I am a Christians so I don't have to listen to you.. you sinner! " lol.. yes I do. That marriage ooh that is very sacred to God if you will its a holy covenant to God. It is not just a casual partnership. The two become one.
My dad did get saved but.. again that was not over night. To give you a tiny glimpse.. He was my step dad since I was three. He had 6 kids from his past marriage that wanted nothing to do with him. One of those kids called him pops.. he said .. do it again. He put his head into the wall. He was a marine in WWII. Those 6 kids .. were no where when he died. My bother left when he was 15? All I remember is Kenny getting up from the table.. going to his room dad going after him.. kenny screaming and... left that night. My dad got bone cancer which was never from God.. one day said "out of all my kids I feel closer to you". I forgave him.. it was not me it was Jesus. Its a past I don't like..some of you truly understand that. I will say this.. I have had many dreams with him in it.. do you know I have never had one bad one.. in each one.. he is always nice or says nothing.
Its SO easy for me to sit here and say to someone stick it out... hold on to JESUS .. but I am not there. My dad was so mean I asked my mom when I was 16 if I could leave she said yes so I did. What did God say? My dad was mean was a sinner.. blah blah blah. Just after I moved out.. I was walking out of School and in the middle of the street this car stops.. asks "are you Danny so and so? I said yes. They said "the lord told me to tell you to run home". Now a grand mother that had no clue that happened.. told me "the lord told me to tell you to run home". I didn't.. I don't care who you are or what you personally believe.. but if GOD tells you to do something and you do not do it.. it has a price.. every time. There is no. oops sorry lord forgive me. Only twice in my life did He ever tell me to do something. The other was late at night walking back to my truck after a Christian meeting.
I was in the middle of the street in HollyWood and He said "RUN" I thought.. run? Why I'm not scared" to that He said "when GOD tells you to do something you do not question it you do it" to that I smiled and said yes sir.". The short it right after that . I just passed this apartment building pitch back in side.. just as I passed two people run out jump in a car and drive backwards after me. More to that but if He said something.. just do it.. that goes for that book. Those are promises that He will keep for He cannot lie. So there are time we are somewhere He didn't put us.. Be KNOW He will never leave you.. never forsake you. and greater is HE that is in you then he thats in the world. Nothing by any means shall hurt you. So.. what someone does in a case like this.. some would say divorce.. other pray seek know He will lead you guide you. Pray.. wait on Him and ask. He will tell you and you know its of Him because you get this peace you can't explain.
My mom was going to leave him go to Colorado.. the lord told her.. if you do not take him with you he will die. She didn't know about the bone cancer.. but she loved the lord. It was only in Colorado they had the right doctors.. and the lord used man on TV haha oh praise GOD... that preacher could play the piano and sing. Fell got up fell .. but praise GOD never left the lord. The lord used that man.. at night my Dad watched him and was saved. Its people we give up on.. God never does.. no matter how much you fall.. He never stops helping you
Yes, there is a movie along those lines that was a true story. Once you get to their country, you lose all your rights.

I've heard of woman in Kuwait that were hired help from other countries and can't leave because their passports need to be signed and in some Muslim countries woman need signatures from their dad or husband to get on a plane.
I think ecumenical can mean "including or covering everything or everyone; comprehensive", which I apply per the Great Commission to philosophy as Einstein sought to do with a theory of general relativity in physics. This does not mean accepting what is false in other religions, but rather building upon what is true in both, like Paul did with respect to Judaism in the Scripture I cited.
Wow! seen that Movie, woe intense it is. Hoping the best since I know God wants the best for us all, not just those that believe God, All, and will not force anyone into his Kingdom
John 4:23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
No flesh pleases Father ever since Son at that cross condemned all sin to the flesh
Romans 8:3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
God Father, pleased in Son, Son is risen to give us the New life in God Father's Spirit and Truth of love to all, having mercy to not condemn, since God has not condemned us all by that cross to beleive in Son as risen for each or not, then the new life begins in love and mercy to all and one stops fighting and arguing, that is hard to do, to keep one's mouth shut and continue to truly love as God does and has since day one in the fall of the first Adam, forwarding to this present day. Why can't we stop arguing and fighting, playing as we know more That others, especially God, who I see just loves us all y'all. Might be time to respond in love that overcame this world for us all to begin with, maybe? In Spite of what another one does or not does
Stress, leaves no rest in the midst of stress
the call is to love all, not in a flesh perspective in Daddy's perspective, PaPa's Father's
God's Love does not demand its own way (People do), is not proud in evil being done to anyone, loves all, all are freed to chose to love as Son has done it first once for us all, no in-betweens, for me anyways, thanks for your posts, hoping you find peace and serenity in the midst of adversities you are in
read it in 1 Cor 13:4-7
Acts 16:23-30
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
—
Only God can remedy an impossible situation, abide in Christ.
Only he can provide Joyful endurance, move mountains, provide the right response at the right time, salvation…
I’m sure you already know this sister and I know it’s easier said than done…
Thanks for posting, was a good reminder for me as well…
people of different faiths are NOT supposed to marry. God says, "do not be unequally yoked together......". when i became Christian bak k in 1993, i learned quickly to never date a non Christian. "what fellowship hath light with darkness, what fellowship hath a believer with an infidel"? pray for his immediate salvation, to be convicted, converted & transformed into Jesus' way of thinking, speaking & acting. (Ephesians 2:8,9,10, Romans 12:2). get all your family & friends to pray for him. consult the church leader. i'm hoping all CC members will pray too. blessings to you.
God accepts us exactly the way we are. He is your spouse. So what if he believes differently from you. You are called by God to accept him as he is and love him. Don't let your faith in God stop you from accepting and loving him as he is. Respect what he believes in and give him space. You be firm in your beliefs and never give up on your faith in Jesus.
On reading the other replies, I gather it must be hard for you. Have you considered separation from him? Better to live your life away from such a man that beats and physically abuses his wife than with him and the kids. Him mistreating you would have a lasting effect on the kids.
Separate and take the kids with you. If that is not possible then leave. If it is not easy for you to leave the kids, then wage a fight with this man. Spiritually. Not physically. Pray against what he says and does behind closed doors. God will hear your prayer and answer your prayers. But continue to love your family. God would want that. Even him. You are called by God to do that.
Islam is a war religion. Not like Jesus Christ who came to show the world what it means to Love. Don't lose your faith. Remain strong. Don't argue with him or converse religion with your husband. But share your faith in Jesus with your kids. Pray for them. I repeat. Do not talk religion with him. That will only bring more unhappiness and fights. Agree to disagree. But don't stop your spiritual warfare for the souls of your children and even that man.
God bless you.
