Call For Fasting 3

Hello every one as we start this fast I felt lead to share some verses on fasting.

Matthew 6: 16-18 And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Isiah 58:6 “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?

Be strong during this fast, the enemy knows how powerful fasting is and will try to stop you by putting thoughts in your head of reasons to stop. Surround yourself in Gods presents with music and reading His word. Speak to God continuously He will answer. There is so much power in fasting it will change you God will give you an encounter with Him. Seek His answers and be sure you pray for others not just your self.

Job 42:10 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Was reading from another book I had and YES, we need to be in constant prayer for our spouses.

Here are some excerpts.



The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; he who would destroy himself does it. Wounds and disgrace he will find, and his reproach will not be blotted out (Prov. 6:24-33)



The adulteress is deceived into thinking that she has done nothing wrong. This is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done nothing wrong (Prov. 30:20)



The adulteress is an enemy of God! You adulteresses, do you know that friendship with the world is hostility with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God (James 4:4)



God will give time to repent and then cause tribulation! And I gave her time to repent; and she does not want to repent of her immorality. Behold, I will cast her upon a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds (Rev 2:22) (Repent means to stop and turn from the sin)

And I will kill her children with pestilence; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds (Rev 2:23)



“So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; whoever touches her will not go unpunished . . .†(Prov. 6:29).



(Have you noticed that this manual has never called adultery an “affair� Adultery is not an affair; the word “affair†connotes a party. This is no party, not for anyone involved. Adultery is a sin that brings great pain and destruction to the lives of everyone concerned. It also destroys the Christian testimony by making a mockery of God and His Word if the adulterer has proclaimed himself to be a Christian.)




Most important is repentance. Repentance means turning away from the evil and doing good. Most men remain in the sin of adultery because they are in too deep. They somehow feel responsible for the adulterous woman. Many times they are more loyal to her than to their own wives and families! Here is a biblical explanation for this behavior: “His own iniquities will capture the wicked, and he will be held with the cords of his sin†(Prov. 5:22). Many men try to get away from their immoral situation, but the sinful cords of lust and selfishness hold them. “And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them . . . But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light . . .†(Eph. 5:11–13).



To rid yourself of sin, you must expose it to the light—the light of Scripture and the light of Truth. Your loyalty must be to the Lord and to the wife of your youth. But what about the other woman whom you have

basically used? What do you suppose your wife would say to do with your adulteress? You must break all contact with her—forever! You were probably very rude and unkind to your wife back when you were

deceived into thinking you didn’t want her anymore. You’ve got to be just as firm with the adulteress and cut the situation off immediately! Don’t ever meet or talk again; walk away from any conversations and hang up when you hear her voice. If you don’t repent and handle it in this way, you will fall again, and again, and again. Stand up and be a man of God now, or you will probably pay the price for your sin and lack of guts in hell!



Keep in mind though, if you sow in the flesh, you will reap in the flesh! “For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life†(Gal. 6:8)

I just wanted to start my morning by thanking you all for your prayers & support to one another. You help renew my hope and remind me to immerse myself in the God's goodness, in His Word, and to have faith.

God is good! He speaks to us through one another, and I praise him for bringing us all together in our stands.



A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

-Ecclesiastes 4:12 NLT

Thank you all for being there for me as well. God is bringing all of us through this trial. Jesus is right there next to us every minute of everyday. I cant wait to see more testimonies on here. I know they are coming. We must keep enduring, keep persevering and be patient. God is always faithful no matter what. He is working

Hey guys. I am asking all of you to come together with me in prayer tonight to pray for my husband. The Lord blessed me by letting me see him today. All was going well when we were talking then suddenly he said that he is still trying to get the divorce papers but he is trying to get other things done first. But the thing is, even after he said that i saw how he was looking at me and checking me out and laughing with me. I saw the care and love in his eyes even though he was trying to hide it. Satan threw that wrench in there to try to get my faith low....it didnt work. I now know that i have to pray and stand even harder because i see my husband battling with the decision to divorce me. I pray that the Lord removes all thoughts and ideas of divorce from my husband's mind, heart and spirit. He is also talking about him and his cousin getting an apartment together...that just has disaster written all over it. I pray that the Lord cancels and nullifies all the plans that my husband is trying to make now and in the future especially if it does not line up with God's will in his life. Thank you and God bless...

Hello all. I hope all is going well and that you guys are standing strong. I am so happy and blessed. Satan has been trying to attack me this week but i persevered. He definitely attacked me on Tuesday heavily. First my friend called me asking why my husband put certain comments on FB saying that he was hurt and couldnt take it anymore. I didnt know what she was talking about so i tried to look myself and saw that i couldnt access his FB at all. I couldnt even look him up. So i told my friend that i think he blocked me. which kinda hurt. Then the thought came up in my head, what if he is talking about another female. So i started getting paranoid. But then suddenly i felt a peace and then i just prayed. I turned right to God and prayed that he would reveal what it was that my husband was talking about. My friend called back and said that she texted him to ask if everything was ok. My husband said yeah that it was family stuff. But the thing is i dont know if he was telling her the truth or not. But either way, i just gave it to God. i stopped trying to search for things. I'm still a little paranoid about it though. Then my sister and mom got into an argument over the phone. It was real bad and my sister was actually about to leave her job to come home and confront our mom. I was actually getting ready to leave because i wanted nothing to do with it. Just as i was about to walk out the house, God spoke to me and said "If you run away from this now, how will you be when i bring Shimon back? Will you run away when things get rough?" I told God He was right. So i went back in my room and prayed instead. Then my sister text me and told me she was going to stay at work because it wasnt worth coming back home and arguing with our mom. So she just asked me to look after her son and make sure he was ok. i praised God because satan really tried to have me run instead of standing and praying. Then the next day, satan attacked me again because i notice that my husband was no longer following me on IG...i hope you guys know what that stands for because i dont think this website will let me say the name. Anyway, i was a little hurt by it but instead i relaxed about it. I decided to call my husband and just be cordial about it. So i called and asked him about IG and FB. He said he took me off both because of what i did last month by invading his privacy on FB. He said that him taking me off helps him cope better. and thats why he just rathers coming to see me and talk to me in person. I calmly told him a understood and apologized once again to him. He said it was ok and that he really didnt remember that he took me off. It was an ok conversation. We hung up and praised God even through that because i heard 2 things that satan tried to make me over look. First, my husband saying he took me off both sites because it helps him cope means that him seeing pictures and stuff of me reminds him of what we had and the fact that he left me behind and probably feels convicted everytime he sees those things. Praise God!! The second thing is that he said he rathers coming to see me and speak to me in person. Praise God again!! Then I text him apologizing again...then i told him to please tell me how much it would be for one of our dogs to get neutered so i could budget him in. He text me back saying that he will let me know that he would help with the cost as well (he works at an animal hospital...praise God because he gets half price off everything) Then he said if he can make it to work. I asked him if he had no gas money. He said no and that he didnt get paid till today. So i told him i would bring him money that day. He thanked me. I went to see him. When he came out the door of his house, his mom and brother also came out. I hugged my husband and he thanked me for the money. Then his mom said "Allison come give me my hug woman". LOL i ran to her and hugged her and his brother. While my husband's brother and mom went for a walk, my husband and i talked. It was a good conversation. We were laughing and he was checking me out...ALLOT! Then thats when he made the comment about him and his cousin planning to get a place together but not for now. I almost panicked but God gave me peace immediately. So i just said "oh good. thats awesome". Then we spoke more and thats when he brought up the divorce again. I didnt really say too much about it. I just let him talk. I got a little sad but God gave me his grace once again. Then my husband noticed i got a little quiet and then changed the subject to our cars and how good mine looked compared to his. (God convicted him about talking about the divorce....Praise Him!) I noticed how he was looking into my eyes with such care and love even though he tried to hide it. We spoke more and then he said that i should go ahead and go because it was starting to get really cold out. I agreed. So he hugged me with a great squeeze. Then he touched my hair and said that he really does like my new due. (I've had it for a few months now, but i think he just wanted to compliment me and let me know that he thinks i'm even more attractive since i lost weight and got the new due, but he tried to do it on the sly) This is also the second time he touched my hair with such care and tenderness. I got goofy and said Do you really? with a silly face. he laughed and called me silly. Then as i turned back around, even though he was walking up the driveway, i saw him turned around and checking out my....behind... i guess i should say lol. Then he made a smart comment. I did one of my high toned screams and called him rude. We both laughed and he said to call him to let him know i got home safe. I said ok and drove off. I beeped goodbye to his mom and brother as i passed by them and his mom said she will see me later. I just praised God the whole way home. He alone could do things like this. I cant wait to see what He does next. Either way, He gets all the praise and glory!



Sorry this was so long, I didnt think it would be LOL

 

[raven28690]

Wow, Amen Alli. I am thankful you took the time to write all that down and share it.

You can really see God working in everything that you wrote and everything that had been going on in your week and it is encouraging for others here.

How you handled each and everyone of the situations you were placed in was exactly how God wanted you to handle them (by turning to him and praying) Not once did you blow up and lose your temper.



I was told when starting this that before God would bring back or change our spouses is that he would first change us. Otherwise a spouse would be coming back to the same situation that they left.

We can just read and see the change in you alli.

Although I must be truthful and admit I have no idea what IG is LOL but thats not of importance.



You also gave me my first laugh for the day from some of the things you wrote so for that you have earned another song from me.

 

[raven28690]
