AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 17:20 He answered, "Because of your little faith [your lack of trust and confidence in the power of God]; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have [living] faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and [if it is God's will] it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Subject: Are death threats ground for divorce |
Bible Note: "Divorce may not stop him from threatening your life but to continue to live together cannot help either." My point is, if divorce is not the solution move on to seek a real solution! Satan would have you stop here because he knows God can make a way! No my dear sister...neither will help. But there is a help you may not be aware of, and He is the perfect help and is more than able to deliver you. But it will take a new level of committment of your faith to His Word. You see, without faitt, it is impossible to please God. We can receive nothing from God apart from faith in Him and His Word. It is an enemy trying to steal you marriage,and is telling you the only answer is to disobey God's Word.He is a liar and a defeated enemy! "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." "I can't go back; I fear him so what is left for us?" Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. My dear sister, Your posts are bringing to light a BIGGER problem. As children of God we have LOST our faith in God to work in our lives! God does not give us any command that He does not empower us to perform. In our mere human carnal nature this would be impossible. But God can make a way through the impossible. The HUGE problem within the body of Christ is that we accept the worlds opinions and wisdoms and disregard God's promises. There is a way through this without being disobedient to God's Word, by remaining faithful and allowing the love of God the heal you, and by placing your faith in His perfect love....God can work a miracle in your life. The crossroad each of us face is when we see God's direction in His Word and we see a more convenient alternative. If we would humble ourselves to His Lordship, fast and pray until God works it out either by delivering him and healing you, or by delivering you from him and healing you if he refuses...but you will have remained faithful. Something you may not see is the enemy of our soul atempting to destroy your husband and trying to get you to mistrust God. "Our relationship is gone - so if we can't be together again, is divorce not the only option?" Relationships can be healed, even the worst of them...by the love of God penetrating the heart. To do this would take a much deeper willingness to surrender and let God work in your life. A much deeper searching for and spending time in relationship with Jesus THROUGH HIS WORD and by the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through you. This would require a new level of personal surrender and death to self to allow Jesus to live, and move in and through you than you even realized was possible. This crisis is an opportunity for God to show Himself strong in you, work a miracle in your life and then enable you to be a witness to His miraculous working through a yielded vessel. I will pray that your faith fail you not and that the Holy Spirit will reveal His power and His great love in and through you. I ask whosoever will in this forum to pray as well. God bless you! |
