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.

I agree, raven it has been amazing watching you grow.

 

[raven28690]

Thank you both. Its been amazing for me aswell. Still learning and stumbling along the way but striving to do better though and I still have a long road ahead of me to get to where I should be.

Its all new to me and at times it is hard. I was use to doing things my way but now when I try to do those things, I feel bad and guilty.

The old me would have handled this by drinking to dull the pain and looking for someone else to replace this empty spot but the new me says you cant be doing that. Regardless of what has happened, your still married in Gods eyes and there's nothing in that bottle that will take the place of praying and reading Gods word.



I don't know, when I look back on my life all I see is mistakes one right after the other and I don't want to make anymore.

Im 42 now and I have threw too much of my life away already doing what I wanted and its got me nothing but heartache and problems.

 

[raven28690]

In other words, don't pat me on the back much. Im full of mistakes.

Thank you everyone. Things got bad and we had the cops involved. Everyone even the cops said to divorce and that without trust the marriage is gone. I feel like I'm living with a stranger and sometimes I just want to throw in the towel. I longed for a Godly marriage but it seems that I am in quite the opposite. I hate the filth that's brought into our home, I feel like I can't raise my children properly. He teaches them to curse, is aggressive and tells my daughter to shut up. I have told him many times to keep his voice down because I am afraid the landlord will evict us, we have two new neighbors since both neighbors moved out and I feel it was due to the arguments. I have prayed several times and many people as well have said my husband need's deliverance. I don't want my children following their dad's footsteps. There have been times as well when I fasted and the answer pointed to demons, this week I was given Matthew 8 and the part about Demons gave me chills. This is not the first time I felt God was trying to tell me something. I feel stuck and confused. I feel that my husband is somewhere there deep down but also feel maybe I could be wrong.

Your husband is still there but being lead away by the deceiver. You keep praying as you are doing as the bible tells us to pray without ceasing.

My mom and dad separated when I was still young and later on she met and married who is now my step dad. My mom started going to church and reading her Bible but my step dad did not believe in God. My mom saw it rough for awhile however she never let up on praying to God that He would somehow change my step dad. Well, He did because my step dad started getting tickets anytime he drove and he was plagued with nightmares that would wake him up in a cold sweat.

God gave my step dad a Damascus road experience and he gave his life to the Lord and has been close to God ever since.



My marriage had got to the point where we felt more like room mates than spouses and sadly I did give up on the marriage and saw an exit when I found the pic of the OM and her on her phone so I told her to leave. Hear to tell you that not a day goes by that I do not regret that decision.

Had ppl tell me Im down right crazy to be praying for my marriage to be restored as She cheated and would do it again. That she is not coming back so let it go. Im here to tell you those are all wordly words from worldly views. Our God is a God of all things possible and NOTHING is too great or out of reach for Him to do. We are talking about the same God who gave sight to the blind and who raised the dead so don't think for a minute that He cannot change someones heart and mind or restore a marriage.

Each and everyone of us here are Sons and Daughters of a risen and living Savoir. We are also heirs to the kingdom of God. Our God reigns on high and He has given unto us authority over the power of our enemy and his demons.



From what you said, It wouldn't hurt to anoint your home and children with oil. While speaking..

"Jesus, by faith I anoint me, my spouse, the children, animals, and this home, windows and doorways and declare them all holy unto you and ask that you would cleanse us and this home of every unclean spirit and human spirit that does not belong here. In the name of Jesus, Satan I bind you, I bind you hindering spirits, I bind you spirits of the prince of the air, I bind you evil forces, I command you to take your hands off of our spirit soul and body, heart, mind and emotion and material things. Off of the children, the animals, and this home. I bind your mouth and your power and command you to be gone forever. Jesus, I pray for the anointing of your blood, the surrounding and protection of your mighty warrior angels and the overshadowing power and protection of your Holy Spirit over me, my spouse, the children, the animals, and the home, windows, and the doorways and ask that you would protect us from any attack of the enemy whether in spiritual or physical form, in your name, Jesus, Amen."

Amen Raven. And also, Walkwithgod, try fasting again, but this time, pray for the deliverance for your husband from those evil spirits. Remember, fasting "loosens the bonds of wickedness, lets the oppressed go free, and breaks every enslaving yoke". Fast and stay in constant prayer. Fast for as long as you feel you need to. I will be praying for your husband and everyone else here and spouses as well.

 

[Walkwithgod]

Thank you Raven and everyone, I have started fasting again and I'm on day 5. It's very difficult and yesterday I cried out to the lord, weeping. When someone hurts you so bad as if you are the crumb under their feet it hurts really bad. I got a good paying job and he attacked me saying I felt I was better than him now. I never put him down when he made more than me or when he lost his job..I would find job leads for him and never made him feel like dirt even when he called himself worthless or a failure I told him he wasn't and he would always find something. I always felt he cared more about the money. When I got my commission check I gave him part of it even though when he got his settlement insurance for when he got in an accident in a car with both our names he didn't give me anything. Everything that I make I pay bills first then I split half with him. I don't mind giving him money it's just that we had issues where he stole and didn't handle the money responsibly so we agreed I would handle it. When he was upset and had access he would pull out the money from the account and gamble or spend it. Now he says I'm trying to control it but it's not that, I just can't trust him and I don't want to be in the same situation again now that we have 2 kids. I don't feel loved or respect from him and it hurts because the person you want to love you the most keeps hurting you. When I try to communicate with him I don't get the truth or he gets angry. I hate living life like this and sometimes feel it's better to just walk away I mean how can a marriage with absolutely no trust and it seems like the other person isn't working on building trust work? Thank you for your prayers. Please especially pray for us since tomorrow is church. Our arguments get really bad over the weekend and it seems the enemy uses that to prevent us from going to church.

Raven, I did tape words on my doors and used oil but I will try again as you say. I believe these spirits enter in the shows he watches. I notice when we argue he'll go and watch something dark with evil in it. I find these times are when it's hardest to reason with him and there's just a look in his eyes. Our kids were upsetting him and he was getting angry and he had a mad look with eyes that were so dark and full of anger. I think I know now when the demon is present or strongest. I believe it is a spirit of anger/rage and lies that need to be cast out or is tormenting him. Yesterday, as I cried out weeping to God I felt God led me to a book. Now, I normally never read books unless it was for school or the bible. I opened it and found out it was a journal. In it my husband talked about how he knew his walk with God was not what it should be and that he was making himself busy to avoid God. He says he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior but than I asked him again and his story seemed to change. So I was wondering, I know they say if a person has Christ in them they can only be oppressed but not possessed. There are times it seems he forgets he did or said something even though I saw or heard him do it. It's like something took over him and it was not him, so I wonder if it could be possession. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to go crazy or maybe I'm crazy thinking it's demons. He's made me to look out to be the crazy one to other people. He acts so different in front of other people but at home it's completely different. I really hope this Damascus Road experience comes soon.

Sometimes with deliverance we have to look into our self first to see if anything can be hendering our prayers. I recommend a bible study about verses that say what hinders prayers. Also the most important thing is we need to forgive ever one otherwise the enemy can creep in threw you. As it says in His word if you forgive others than our father will also forgive you.

 

[raven28690]

Amen Scott and exactly.

WalkwithGod don't look at it as your crazy as you are very much right about the demons. There is a very real spiritual battle going on around us on a daily basis.

Im very familiar with that spirit of anger as I carried it around with me. That spirit though can do no more than what you let it. If you feed it, its like anything else in that it will only hang around and grow.

Let your words to your husband be words of kindness and forgiveness. Otherwise any words spoken out of being mad will only ignite the Anger that your husband is dealing with. Once I realized I had problems with my anger, Only then was I able to deal with it.

I don't know what your husband is feeling but let me tell you what I went thru when me and my wife was still together as some of the things you mentioned sound very familiar.

When I couldn't find a job I went into a depression that ended up consuming me, feelings of worthlessness and failure surrounded me. I lost touch with everything around me and instead of tying to overcome those feelings I more or less succumbed to them. My wife was the only one working and Im not the type of person who enjoys having to ask someone for something so I never asked my wife for anything. Not clothes, money, food. I realize a marriage is no longer 2 people and there is no yours and mine but during that time I became very independent aswell as being bitter.

I have CDL license and figured I would never have trouble finding a job but everyone I talked too either wasn't hiring or gave me a brush off. I never did view my wife as being better than me during this time, on the contrary I saw God blessing her as she started getting promotions left and right however what set my fuse is when she told me her family were saying things like I didn't want to work and was just sponging off her.

Talk about feeling belittled now but I became even more hostile and despised her family for their words and despised my wife for not sticking up for me.



I tell you these things because please realize for the person going thru that, you feel as if the world has been laid on your shoulders and slowly its crushing the life out of you. I would listen to dark music and watch dark shows aswell as the place I found myself was dark.

Men take it very hard too. In our eyes its us who are the providers and protectors of the family and when you have that took from you, well... it makes you feel worthless and insignificant.

Every thing that you have mentioned sounds like you are handling it better than what I went thru. Remember what the bible tells us that our words can either build someone up or tear them down and in the circumstances we are talking about, light them up.

If your husband has went into the same bubble of despair that I found myself in, The only thing that is going to resolve that is by your interceding for him and praying on his behalf.

Its not something he is going to go around and advertise either. It wasn't until my wife left that I started opening up and telling a few ppl what I just told above.



Now I believe the same in that a Christian cannot be possessed however a Christian can backslide. Our enemy knows this and he will pull you out of Gods Will as long as you let him. Remember his whole goals are to steal kill and destroy.

You and everyone else (me included) pray every single day whether you are seeing immediate results or not pray, pray, and pray and keep praying until God answers that prayer.

Just as important is to read the Bible everyday as it gives us wisdom and in turn better equips our prayers.

I started out with God bring my wife back home why has this happened to me and I cant take this another day.

Too, God thank you for this day you blessed me with. Thank you for your grace and mercy upon me and thank you for this trial that Im now going thru as I know your changing me into the person you want me to be and thank you for sending your only Son Jesus to die for my sins and forgiving me my sins. Lord I ask that you restore this covenant marriage but Lord not my Will but Your Will be done. I stand in agreement with all those others who are praying for a wayward or lost spouse. Lord we recognize that we can do absolutely nothing without you so I ask in faith believing that your words says ask and ye shall receive so I ask now Lord for your divine intervention into each and everyone of these broken and troubled marriages. I ask this in Jesus name and I plead this in the Blood, Amen.
