Stand For Your Marriage!

Do you guys remember what happened when one of his apostles took his eyes off of Jesus when he joined him in his walk on water? As soon as he took his eyes off of the Lord he began to sink. As soon as the winds started blowing and the waters got choppy he lost faith and began sinking but even then Jesus reached out his hand and rescued him.

Thats what we have to do remember to do while we stand for our marriages and every day of our lives. This very moment we have all been forced to step out of our comfort zones and trust Jesus while we take a faith walk on water. the evil one is constantly making the wind blow and the waves choppy. he is always attempting to make it look like our stands are impossible and worthless. As if the winds and waves he throws at us are too much for us. Well we often panic and forget that all we have to do is reach out our hands and cry to Jesus for help. He won't let us sink.

It doesn't matter what the devil says or does, it doesn't matter what our spouses say or do. NOTHING is too big for God. We must remember not to put limits on what God can do.

If your prodigal spouse is stubborn (like mine) don't lose faith, pray. It's not too big for GOD, He was the one who made them in the first place. If our prodigals say or do things that are hurtful....so. Nothing is too big for God. We have to stop thinking that God is only at work when our spouses are being nice because He is working even when they are not. Don't forget our spouses are in a spiritual tug of war; some days they are sweet as pie and others as bitter as venom. That's why we pray and have faith. Besides if God can defeat death, can't he win a tug of war for our marriages? Remember Jesus said to cry out in His name and the Father will hear and answer.

Keep believing!

Your words came at a time when I was feeling weak and I was allowing the devil to put ideas in my head that would dishonor my husband and show a lack of faith. Thank you, I too am making a jorney to restore my marriage. I prayer for continued grace and healing..

God is in control, but i am not
by: believer

My husband had an affair. God intervened and my husband returned several months ago. Truly a miracle. Our young children have been shielded from this info. Grateful for that. Husband does not show affection. Goes through motions. I want so much more for our marriage. I struggle with trying not to compare myself to her. My prayer is that husband would seek God first. Also that he would learn to see me the way God does. Please pray if God leads you to. I'm grateful but unhappy. I want my husband back in every sense.

When you thought it was over
by: Jay

I have been married for nearly 6 years, my husband and I seperaated just after 6months in our marriage because we both were not saved or confessing Christians. During that 2 and a half yr split I began telling God all the problems with my husband but He revealed all the problems with me. God changed the way I felt toward my husband and I began to pray that He would bring him home again. God did just that He answered my prayer but now we were unequally yoked, still their was division in the home. After a yr and a half we spli, I filed for divorce and 3 days before my divorced scheduled to be final my estranged husband came into my church, cried on the alter and God saved him. While all this is going on my pastor is preaching BE Still Thus Saith the Lord. And since that day I have stopped all final documents and decided to stand in obedience with the Word of God. So my words of encouragement is this, if He did it once he can do it again. Stand on the Word of God, its painful but He is a Healer and the Great Restorer. For He is able to do Exceedingly and Abundantly above all that we can ask or think.

And Im still standing, for God says its not time to move forward nor backward but stand for I am the Lord thy God.

marriage restoration
by: Anonymous

Thank you for confirming my stand. I love my wife, and want to have the marriage that God wants for us. She is mad and has good reason. I didnt cheat on her I just didnt show her how important she is to me. May God have mercy on me, and give me the chance to show her Christ in me. Its been 5 months now, and all seems lost, but it hasnt stopped me from believing. I dont doubt God. We are his children. Pray for me as i pray for you. GOD BLESS In JESUS Name

I really needed to hear this
by: Terrel

I'm usually a macho type of fella, but I am close to tears right now in agreement with this. as I am dealing with a similar situation that you described. I'm not married, but I am trying to regain the woman that I want to marry. Actually I took a step on faith and asked her to marry me, and that kind of put a road block between her and I. So I don't know what to do other than have faith in GOD. and cry to Jesus!!

Thank you.

Please pray for my marriage, I have been married 2 years, we have a beautiful 1 year old son, I have dealt with adultery, physical, and verbal abuse.I separated myself from my husband feb2008,he pulled a gun on me,i still love my husband, i'm very confused about his feelings we don't talk, he told me i should have sex with someone else, and he doesb't want to see or hear from our son until he's 10 years old.he's very angry with me.I have been depressed for quite a while, it's been very hard trying to make it through each day,I don't know what to pray for, I don't even know if I want to hold on to this marriage. I know God can make a way where there is no way, but I don't want to pray asking for my husband back,if he does not want to live a Godly life..I'm so hurt, and my son is so innocent in all of this, I feel he needs his mommy and daddy,I just don't know.please pray for my restoration, and for the devil and strongholds be cast away and out of my husband, I believe God will do.thank you

thank you

I am so greatful for your encouraging words because I needed someone to be in agreement with me in prayer for the very same things you are mentioning. My fiance and I are not together but I am trusting God that nothing is over until he says it is over. Although we were not married we made a vow of marriage and I want him back in my life so that we can serve God together and make a difference and share our testimony with the world please help me trust God for this.
Thank you

I touch and agree with your comments about marriages. We need to stand still and SEE the salvation of the Lord. Nothing is too hard for the Lord to do, only believe. We are in a spiritual warfare concerning our marriages. Victory is ours. In Jesus Name.
