Unsaved Husband

by Robin
(Crowley,La)

I have been married for almost 10 years. My unsaved husband is not a Christian. I have asked him to come with me but the only times he will is for meals.

I have gotten him to come to our self Bible study group when it was at home. He doesn't always stay while we are discussing the Bible, but he has joined in the fellowship. My Church family says that he will soon. Just give him time and keep praying.

I go to a pentecostal church. I love going. Some times I feel that Satan and my husband try to get me to stay at home. I want to so badly to show others that I am living for Him. I feel that Satan stops me by saying they don't want to hear that. I need God to help me on that.

I know that there are others like me. I can use all the support.

Trust and Rejoice
by: Tammy

Hi, I just want to share with you.First of all don't try to prove anything to people.Show God that your living for him. Do those things that please the Father and people can't help but to see God in your life.A lot of times that's the trick of the emeny,I makes us feel like we have to show people or in other words prove something to somebody, that what he tried to do but failed.So let that go.Next,I took a class on the principles of prayer offered by Charlotte-Campus LCU(Life Christian University),it was a book by Kenneth Haggin called Principles of Prayer. He stated in this book that he had been praying for his brother that wasn't saved.TO make a lond story short, He said that He prayed and kept praying, the Holy Spirit told him to start rejoicing as if it had already happened. No longer pray this pray again everytime the enemy bring this to your mind rejoice and thank God for His son Jesus who died just for your husband. Just praise God now for his unfailing love,That same love that did for you and your husband, then be like Joshua and decree and declare that for you and your house yall shall serve the Lord. Stay in worship and contuine to give God all the glory and share to gosple to everyone that Holy Spirit leads you to. Take care of God's business and watch God take care of yours and remember to cast all,ALL your cares upon the Lord for he cares for you.Remember that without FAITH it is impossible to please God. So Grow in your Faith, Trust and Beleive in God because there is nothing to hard for God.God Bless Tammy

Keep Trying!
by: Caitlin

You MUST keep trying. I speak from experience. It was my boyfriend who converted me. I was VERY resistant for a long time. I made fun of his religion and argued with him about it CONSTANTLY. The truth was I had never even read the Bible. I wasn't brought up around the Bible because my father never really cared and my mother was an Atheist. I must say, I'm really glad my boyfriend hung in there, because now I study the Bible everyday (even if only for a few minutes) and we go to church together now. It's a wonderful experience for both of us. It all happened because he was very persistant, but never pushy. He really was the first person to ever sit me down and explain Christianity to me. I became more interested and borrowed his study Bible. I began reading it, and I was SO enthralled that I started reading it everyday! Soon after I started attending church and here I am today!

So DON'T give up! Don't be too pushy, but be persistant and patient. Encourage questions about it and just keep trying! He might thank you for it later!

GOD hears your prayers for hubbie
by: ohiohillbilly

hang in there! trust GOD! ASK PRAY BUT PLEASE DO NOT PUSH HIM TO GO! let GOD be GOD and do his work as by asking and praying and setting an example you are doing yours! this was the story for me and my husband for many years! it is the same with other women i know!
if i may i would advise you to also make time for him! sometimes we get so busy with the busy work of church we forget our spouses and i do not think(for me and some others anyway) that will get him thers or to CHRIST because they feel resentful!(and have been known to use it for an excuse!!) try to make time for him also and honor GOD in your marriage and your church in this way!! (
it ain't easy!) talk to some of the women at your church and ask them! the older ones are especially helpful!!
GOD BLESS YOU and be assured by HIS own WORD that HE hears you!

Praying for you...
by: Ameerah

Hi Robin,
I want you to know that I am praying for you and for your husband. I pray that God can strengthen you to be a quiet example of His love, forgiveness, and patience. I pray that God will use your example as a way of drawing your husband to Him.

I would really be encouraged by the fact that you husband is participating in the fellowship. It is by being around people filled with God's Spirit and really getting to know them and their lives that many people are drawn to God - Our lives are our best ministry. People listen to our lives much more closely than they listen to our mouths.

When my husband and I started dating, neither of us were saved. I made the commitment to God before he did, and I was very tempted to break off our relationship. Still, I felt in my heart that he was my husband. Through all of the sin that I watched in his life, God told me not to leave - why? Because I could only see the present- God could see my husband's future.

I say that to say, as human beings, we can get very caught up in what we see in front of our eyes, and not realize what is going on in the spirit realm. The Spirit of God was working on my husband's heart, whether I could see it or not. God knew what my husband was ready to hear, and what he was not - so He only allowed his to attend certain things and hear certain things because those were the things he was able to digest and accept at that time. The other things would have pushed him further away from God instead of pulling him closer because he was not ready.

In terms of feeling like Satan doesn't want to you to go to church - he doesn't. There is no way around it. And, he will use your husband to get you to stay home - he will use anything he can to get you to stay home.

I've gone through periods of my life where it almost seemed like it physically hurt to go to church. It was such a struggle. And, if I missed a week, it was that much harder to go the next week. One thing that can really help with this is developing a closer relationship with God throughout the week.

Spending time praying and talking with God on a daily basis will help you experience more of His presence in your everyday life. The Holy Spirit can be your strength, and help you to fight off Satan's attacks to keep you home.

I hope that helps a bit. But, I am sure there are some other women out there who have been through something similar who can give you even more advice.
