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 guess my situation is much different than everyone's here. I was ready to give up on my marriage. I removed myself from FB Christian marriage support groups. I wanted nothing to do with my husband because the hurt and pain was too much. He was physically there but emotionally and spiritually we were disconnected. I joined the site because I just wanted to take my mind off all the pain and what my husband could possibly doing against me. When I told him about it he was very hurt but I think it opened up his eyes. He said he now realizes what I must have gone through. He saw the many guys that had written me, the convos and how men kept pursuing me. I think he finally realized what he has. This experience helped him to open his eyes a bit. We still have along ways to go but when I was ready to walk away God did something unexpectedly. He asked me if I had attraction towards other men and I said yes and I believe it was just the fact that I felt good that another man understood and showed he cared and not like crap. He asked me if I loved any other men and I said no, my heart has been locked up and it has. He realizes that I have attraction for other men and it's due partly to him. I don't choose to have these attractions and I don't know how to explain it but when you are treated so bad you become vulnerable. I was the type that my husband was my one and only, I would not have a desire to talk or look at other men in that way. I stopped caring and tried as best as I could to shut off my emotions and not care. He said he recognizes these actions because he used to do them to me. He said I have become like him and this must be the pain that I experienced. I do love my husband but I am treading these waters very carefully. I'm not proud of what I did but at the moment I saw nothing wrong with it and that's how the enemy can catch you off guard. I am not pointing fingers or trying to say anything but I guess I could be your spouse and the things they went through. Are we really as innocent as we say we are in the falling apart of our marriage? Were there communication issues, anger issues, trust issues, neglect, abuse?

I know i am not innocent. I've put my husband through the ringer before we were even married. I know what i have done. My insecurities and jealousy is what started all this. i knew i had to change but i didnt know how and i was too stubborn and proud as well. i take the blame for all the wrong things i did in my relationship with my husband. There were trust issues. I didnt trust that my husband wasnt attracted to anybody else. I didnt trust that he loved only me. we would argue and not talk for hours and even go to bed angry. i've repented for all the wrong things i've done.

I agree I know it was my fault my wife left I became so detached and depressed and did nothing to help it and she got tired of it and found care in my best friend the main problem I had was I did not turn to God for anything in fact I ran from anything God and it opened the door wide for the enemy to enter in.

 

[raven28690]

Scott that is pretty much exactly the same as me.

I became detached and depressed because I could not find work. Instead of talking to my wife about how I was feeling, I withdrew from everyone and went into a shell. Drinking was how I tried dealing with what was going on.

The guy she worked with showed her the attention that I wasn't. So no, Im not by any means innocent when it came to communication and neglect.

 

[Walkwithgod]

Many of the responses sound like my husband. He said he was depressed as well and didn't care about anyone or anything. All I wanted him to do was communicate with me but he tried to fix things and do things on his own which caused many problems. Have you tried to have a real talk with your spouse? Admitting the hurt and pain that was caused? Apologizing and showing that you understand how much hurt they've been through? I know that is what I would love to hear from my husband but your spouse probably won't believe that you've changed so pray about it and that God will show them you have changed. The thing is you really need to have changed or it just won't work and I think that is what God is doing in us. Coming from someone that probably is in your spouse's position..they probably still love you but are just so hurt and think that if they were to go back it will be the same thing.

 

[scott123]

Yes I have she said its to late and she can't come back because she is with him now

 

[allibear86]

I have apologized and asked for forgiveness. he also apologized and said he forgave me and know i forgave him but....he still left and is still with the ow.....so...talking doesnt always help. i've come o the point where i'm just letting God do what He feels is best. i'm focusing on other things and trying to stay happy.

 

[raven28690]

Exactly same as Scott and Alli.

I spoke with my wife and told her all these things and apologized. She just said she forgave me along time ago but too much damage has been done to return. Now she doesn't want any communication at all.

As Alli, I have come to a point myself and had to do other things to keep what sanity I had left. Felt myself sinking into a very depressed state that I have never felt before.

 

[Walkwithgod]

I still see there's hope for you guys if you want your marriage restored. I read my devotion today and was directed to God doesn't allow divorce unless it's for infidelity. God can restore those feelings that your spouse once had for you back. It seems they are just in a rebellion and lashing out for all the hurt and pain. Just continue to pray and God will work on them.

 

[scott123]

Alli the answer is yes it is Gods will. Just read the bible about marriage and you will see
