My husband and I divorced in May of this year. He divorced me because he didn't love me and felt that he was not behaving in the way a husband should. In the process of getting divorced he told me that he also committed adultery once and he had felt guilty about it Although I forgave him and tried to keep the marriage together, he wanted out, so I prayed over it and signed the divorce papers. He had told me that when he went to the lawyers he felt "something telling him that what he was doing was wrong." but continued to file. Praise God, and I will continuosly praise Him because 1 year prior to my divorce I had rededicated my life to the Lord and when I thought that I could not face the day that my divorce would be finalized, God NEVER left my side, even when I was angry with Him, the Lord loved me through it and saw me through it, and I was able to face that day. I still felt the Lord was telling me not to give up hope and I continued to pray for direction and confirmation of this.
I had resolved in my heart not to contact him and to allow him to live his life freely as he wanted to, but ever since then he calls me almost daily, tells me he misses me and that although he feels he did the right thing by divorcing me because the pressure was now off him somewhat, he regrets the divorce. He tells me that although he has dated in the past since the divorce, he doesn't want to be with anyone else and has since stopped dating. He has asked me to try to work on the reconciliation of the marriage. I feel the Lord spoke to my heart and told me that he needs to be saved BEFORE we remarry and it was confirmed by 2 totally different pastors who prophesy. I have told him this and he understands but still has not come to the Lord, he said he felt God call him to salvation in the past but have seen people backslide and doesn't want to do the same because he is not ready. He says when he comes to Christ he wants to know that he will stay in Christ and not want to backslide, but I know the Lord is working because certain things and ways of thinking have changed or in the process of change, so I ask that you pray that whatever is hindering him from being saved is removed in the name of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Also, shamefully I have fallen into sexual sin with him. We are occassionally having sex with each other. Usually I can resist the temptation but I have fallen to this temptation a few times. My husband understands fornication is a sin but does not understand why it is wrong between us because we were once married. I have been trying to deal with this but I now realize that I need prayer partners to pray with me to break this curse of sexual sin and that we will reconcile the marriage in the way of the Lord and not by our fleshly nature. He prayed with me last night to respect our bodies as temples of God and to not sin against our bodies any longer but later on he felt that he will be unable to resist this temptation. I ask you to lift us up in prayer so that the Lord will give us the strength to resist this temptation not only because it is the right thing to do but because we love God (and he states he does) and want to obey Him. I have been blessed so much by the Lord and want to continue to be blessed, I don't want anything or anyone to stand in the way of the blessing. Please pray for us. Thank you.
