21 | Porn in spouse overcome thru fasting? | Galatians | bandaid | 212622 | ||
There are many threads on the questions I have asked and responded to. The other question is concerning women divorcing men. Yes, I have had more than enough support in my life for quite a long time concerning all the issues involved. I am in many good hands of support, inspiration and accountability. My husband is not. I am not there. My children are not there. I can do nothing about what he does at this point and wish to know only the best way I can pray for him. He needs much prayer or the struggle he is in will only continue downhill as I have seen the negative progress it has made in just the past 5 years. Please pray and feel for him, he is in great denial, bitterness and a stronghold. |

Thank you, I will do that. Sigh... I appreciate you guys not trying to go over everything I may or may not be doing right, but simply addressing the questions I have. They are difficult ones I have asked of even too busy professors, that is why I am now in a study forum. | ||||||

I am not questioning the effectiveness of prayer and fasting, but why some issues needed fasting over other issues that just needed prayer. Was the lunacy from sin, or a birth defect? Do you know anything about mental health? It sounds to me like you are only making assumptions and not really taking time to think or pray about what you are saying. Is it just the faith that was needed to pluck up that tree, or does it also have to be Gods will? Does it say that? How does "asking amiss because of my own lusts" have to do with a loved one who is struggling in sin and denial? Are you trying to tell me I am asking amiss and that is why my husband is still in bondage? That MY faith is the reason my husband hasn't sought help? You are picking and choosing verses that are of no relation and sound like you are picking ones to be spiteful to me particularily. You have not said anything helpful or related. You are coming off to me as mean, judgemental, condescending, unloving, controlling and like you don't really know what you are talking about. I would like to be nice, but you are harassing me and not addressing the real questions. |

Some things just make sense. Does God act upon things if we do not ask? Then why pray? I believe Gods will is that we pray for His will to be done, but He wants us to be specific and not just utter up generalities. Should we just pray the Lords will be done everytime we pray and not ask for what we specifically hope for or need? If God lays something on our hearts after vast time in prayer, we should pray that way. Jesus states that the man was freed from lunacy only came about through prayer and fasting. Not just prayer. Was the lunacy because of sin, or a birth defect? Gods will is that we accept the freewill of His blood offering to wash away our sins. That we Glorify Him. That the Truth sets us free. I have to believe that God wants my husband free from porn and glorifying Him with his gifts whether it is with or without me I have already come to accept. That is a simple enough request. Would it be wrong for me to want my husband free for our childrens sake? Or want him free to safely and intimately celebrate our maritual committment? Or more? Knowing Gods will and how to pray more for someone, comes as we pray. If it were a onetime utterance, persistant prayer would be meaningless. The complication isn't so much what is Gods will, but how to pray specifically. After a period of time in prayer, is it Gods will someone doesn't get help, it isn't God's time yet, we haven't prayed rightly, or is freewill the end result? |

Again, I am at this site to get scriptural references and study aids for my questions. I already have EVERY FORM OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND INSPIRATION. Give me a break, I just want scriptural references to study for my particular questions! I have enough people in my life for several years. I am not alone. I have a pastor. I have women I have elders. All I want from this site is scriptural references to my questions. If you don't have them, be at peace ...I am already in good hands, and pray for my husband. | ||||||

Gileum, Try what before I abandon ship? Please. The end of this lonnngg line is that someone needs help despite anything I can do or have tried. I cannot make him change. Does his freewill take precedence over fasting and prayer? Those are the questions that at some point everyone will get to at the end of everything else attempted. Is the desire to overcome mine alone? You can't save a marriage when only one party is trying ...unless the sin is only one that can be delivered through fasting and prayer. I am not asking for advice, I am asking legitimate questions and my understanding is that the truth of Gods Word is what sets us free. You have to be open to go places to hear or read the Word to accomplish this. When someone IS NOT OPEN, there is something hindering that. Do you really think I have not prayed about this for several years?? Please, if you want to help, pray for my husband to be open, and fast if you think Gods word pertains to this situation. That is what my questions are about. | ||||||

Thank you John. I appreciate your sincere caring approach. As I somewhat mentioned, my situation goes beyond the norm as to what I will not go into. I would ask you pray and if you fast, for my husband who seems to be on a very difficult path that he is in bondage and denial to. I am in a safe place, and agape love cares for the person more than the union. Sometimes love needs to be tough. | ||||||

Keliy, This is NOT the place for you to push your opinions and ideals on me. If you do not have any bible references to my question, then please save your advice for another site and leave these questions for someone who DOES know if there are any. This is as I understand a Bible Study Forum. I will be kind but blunt since I have already advised you. You have no clue of my situation and I have other places I go for information, accountability and spiritual advice. If you cannot answer the questions given, then move on and please leave me alone. If you continue to harass me I will advise the forum leader. | ||||||

All of these sites and things are helpful,...to someone WHO WILL go to them or listen to them or open up to them. When one party will not get help that leaves few alternatives. That is where the questions on fasting and freewill come into perspective. | ||||||

Keliy, assume you had little girls. Assuming the worst situation you can imagine, would you stay or divorce? Please, understand, I am not looking for answers to all the other questions and judgements brought up here. My questions were specific. I understand everyone has opinions and ideas and wants to help, but for the sake of several paragraphs on advice you know nothing about in a situation, trust that God has perhaps given me enough sense to ask questions that have legitimate value to my situation. | ||||||

At first glance it may be easy to assume I am at the beginning of a long journey. However the opposite is the fact and without going into further personal experiences, you can rightfully go from the assumption after 5 years, every effort has been made, including the movie. I am clearly asking for scriptural references, not advice. I understand basic law, glanced scriptural text, and freewill to hardness of heart. However, despite the advice I have already heard one nagging detail has escaped my reading. In reading the scriptures, I have been unable to find any reference where WOMEN can divorce under these grounds, it clearly seems to state men as the divorcing party. I think everyone assumes it includes women, and that would be an easy road to take, however the scriptures still don't mention women as divorcing men UNLESS they are to live in adultery. I don't want to assume like everyone else. I want facts. Freewill, or spiritual strongholds (demonic oppression/possesion)? That is my next question. Can pornography lead to spritual strongholds? Can these strongholds, in this case, be broken through fasting and prayer? Or does freewill prevail? |

33 | Personality disorder or demon possesion? | Mark 5:15 | bandaid | 212546 | ||
Jeff, Thank you and the rest for your patience with me. The questions come up as the person I am relating questions to is a liscensed Counselor, and a born-again Christian from what I know. They attended a few Bible universities as well. I cannot understand how someone with a clear understanding of psychological disorders and a knowledge of scripture can fall to a level of such a stronghold in their life and not do anything about it, knowing the severity of the level. My only idea is that it is a stronghold, although I do not know what scriptures here I can add. It brings to mind several questions relating to Christians having any possibility of having demonic possession. And if there is any hope that fasting from others can help lead to overcoming the freewill or possesion they have. |

Thank you for that input! Yes, I read that complete interview. It can be found at the website from that new Christian based movie that is getting so much attention about a firemans porn addiction. (For lack of being able to say the name). | ||||||

Thank you all so much for your knowledge on this subject! Yes, it all helps very much and again thank you. I am new to the forum, so I still have yet to understand the use of notes and scripture additions to correctly submit my questions and follow up notes. My question was intended for disorders and not medical conditions. I realize many disorders are treated with drugs, and wondered if there was any biblical evidence of herbs being used for the same purposes. I have read each follow up note on my questions and am very thankful for the time all of you have given in your submissions. I will read the book mentioned in one note/answer. |
