I pray that the Lord would change you to be the lifestyly witness she needs to see as a true example of Christ and His love for the church. And I pray that you understand that standing up for yourself amidst the abuse is good, but how you do it is more important, trust the Holy Spirit to guide you in this!

I pray that God have His Way in the lives of Ricardo and Neil and their wives. Our God is able to speak to every heart. Let us also pray that those who hear what God speaks will also want to obey Him. Glory to God!

I am praying for you brother. I can tell you that it takes a lot of patience to be married to a person who is "unyoked"-my husband can attest to that. I was a pagan for over 20 years, but apparently, I had a lot of people praying for me and I gave myself to the Lord in March of 2012. So I add my prayers to the others for you and your wife dear brother.

Brother Rickygtz, I have never been married,but after the Lord found me,I did not go back home for almost 3 years,I wanted to! I just did not have the money at the time to go back home. My mother and brother has sent me away because before Jesus,well you sure would not have wanted to be around me either!! LOUD Always thinking of only me,had my own rules,went my own way. Now when Jesus touched me in a mop closet in College,I thought, well now I am ready!! LOL I would point to the faults of others,hey look!! You say you are a believer but act like that!! OH I became so good now!! LOL Why brother!! I could find lack in everyone!!

Thinking MUCH!!! more highly of myself then I ever should of!( Rom 12:3) NO SIR!! I had lessons to now learn!! Lots of lessons!! lesson number one.To fix others through Holy Spirit,we must first allow ourselves to become fixed in HIM. It requires knowledge from God's Word,then it requires the wisdom from Holy Spirit as how to apply this first to our own life,so then we can encourage others in there life. ( 1 cor 12:31) And I show you a still more excellent way! Now please read 1 Cor 13:4-8) You see brother, i had never known what love is for? i knew it was cool to have!! But never understood, until I went to Holy Spirit School how to apply it to me,and to others!( 1 john 2:27) This is the foundation!

That no matter what another says or does,I look to this foundation at all times for me!!! And my life!! So I have much need to endure as well now!( Hebrews 10:36) Doing the will of God is not looking at others and there faults,it is looking to me and mine! Love grants grace,Love does not look for faults,but rather always gives strength to another.To become and stay thankful! No matter what is going on around us. Not easy is it?? LOL I KNOW!! But from this foundation good brother,Jesus can med the house we first built,he starts by making the house we first built a HOME on the inside,so then our house can look good to us and others from the outside!

When you bought your home appearance was important to you,you sure did not wish to buy a home with the paint coming off of it,or holes in the roof! Who would?? ( matt 7:24-27) We know what we hear, and believe by what we now do!( james 1:22) Let Jesus do the building!! Let us tend to his house he has build by always looking at self and checking it!!( 2 cor 13:5) many other lessons, but here is the point! After Jesus knew I was ready,he made a way for me to now come home. Do you think I was received warmly??LOL They were glad to see me after almost 3 years,but had great reservations as would anyone who ever truly knew me before the Lord! To follow Jesus means to always follow him,in good times and tough times!( matt 5:45)

It rains on us all from time to time brother as you can well attest to! But what is the purpose to all you are now going through? Feeling and emotion look to take center stage in our live and rule our lives! Humm Look what Jesus says here though! ( 1 Peter 1:6-9) You see brother God already knows the outcome,but we do not,nor does the devil who looks to use our eyes, our ears,our feeling, our emotions,to show us how we cannot obtain the outcome of our faith. He is a thief,( john 10:10) he cannot tell the truth( john 8:44) But Jesus whom we serve cannot lie!!( Hebrews 6:18-19) Our anchor of hope! This hope!! ( rom 15:13) A hope which looks unto Jesus, not a worldly hope! Maybe?? No maybe with God Almighty!! Do we make mistakes?? LOL SURE we do!!

But from that weakness God teaches us!( 2 cor 12:9-10) It took 3 long years,but then one day as i was praying and thanking Jesus for all he has done in my closet in the bedroom,a knock came on the door,i left the closet to answer the door,my mom and brother wished to know Jesus,they wanted me to pray for them! GLORY TO GOD!! Then as Jesus did me,with tender loving care,i granted them, what Jesus granted me! I did not speak on there lack,i spoke on grace,and love and mercy,and yes kindness! This to can happen with you wife,but it starts with us brother! Consider this.I sure do not tell you what to do!! I only show you an example of just how much Jesus loves you both the very same!( acts 10:34) You notice scripture much, do you not? WHY? You may ask?Because I cannot save,I can do nothing apart from Jesus in me!And neither can anyone who claims themselves to be a believer!

You are the man,for some it is time to act like a man. I sure had to find this out the hard way myself brother!!LOL i enjoyed feeling sorry for myself! I could blame others and never take responsibility. But that is why the house I built sank! Please learn from my mistakes,and do not make the same ones. You have my prayers both you, and your wife,but like a house, when you choose the more excellent way,you will see your house becoming more and more of a home,you just will have to look at the wife. Jesus in you creates now to understand this. Your wife is your home,and with Jesus with you both,there is nothing left but pure love for all to share! It is time, time is required by Jesus to us,are we willing to give him that time?Only you can answer this brother!I had to answer this for myself as you will. It is worth the time brother!!It is worth the endurance,because Jesus did both for us,can we not follow his example? God bless you brother!! Jesus loves you and so do we in him!!( rom 8:35-39) and 1 john 4:4-6!!) To be his children we must be willing to act like his children,and through our father God, we can!!( luke 1:37!!) Your brother in Christ mark

 

[rickygtz]

Hi Brother Mark,

I understand what you are telling me, I have showed respect and love to my wife, never disrespectedm always encouraging her to seek God, and let God transformed her, but sometimes I fail beacuse she is constantly refusing to, she had even thrown me a Bible in my face. I had donde almost everyting , but you are right, I need the help of the Holy Spirit to have strenght , and to learn more , as how to love under all circumstances , as our dear father loves you, but the process is very hard at this time, sometimes I feel I am fighting my worse enemy on my same house and bedroom, all this situation is affecting my spiritual life, thats why desperately I ask your prayers every day .

God Bless you

 

[kamiller1972]

I just got this in my mail and thought this may help. It's from Max Lucado.

No one believed in people more than Jesus did. He saw something in Peter worth developing, in the adulterous woman worth forgiving, and in John worth harnessing.
He saw something in the thief on the cross, and what he saw was worth saving. And in the life of a wild-eyed, bloodthirsty extremist, He saw the apostle of grace. He believed in Saul.
Don’t give up on your Saul. When others write him off, give him another chance. Stay strong. Call him brother. Call her sister. It’s too soon to throw in the towel. Talk to your Saul about Jesus, and pray.
God is at work behind the scenes. And remember this: God never sends you where he hasn’t already been. By the time you reach your Saul, who knows what you’ll find.
God used Saul, who became Paul, to touch the world.
Has God given you a Saul?

 

[rickygtz]

Please pray for me, I really need the guidance of the Lord, I have tried almost everything , my heart is broken, is very hard for me to stand in this battle to save my marriage, I have humbled my self, and serve my wife, I honor my marriage but all I get is disrespect, abuse, and dishonor, please pray for the best to happen, I am not for Divorce, I dont think is the only way, but I also believe that God doesnt like a marriage with abusse , discussions, dishonor, I need really your prayers.

Amen

 

[rickygtz]

I need to add a few details. I was new in the Lord when I married, i didn't ask direction nor prayed for finding a wife. My wife has gone tochurch since child, her mom is christian and tooktook her church since young age, she once told me before my wife born, someone in church told her that her daughter were gojng to be very hard ahearth and problems, and as now, but she had never surrended and give her life to Christ, I remember something curious, that in wedding ceremony when she enter the door in church, a huge thunderstruck sounded. I have prayed, lead, speak with her mom, pastors, and her about her need to surrender to God. But iam really desperated. I dont spect answers from you, but may the Lord show me his purposes, and strengthens me.

Dear Brother Ricky,

I hear you....and I feel your dear heart, and concern for your wife....."Love your wives, even as Christ loved the Church, and gave Himself for it". You are expressing this scriptural exhortation.......and the Lord God will bless you as a result. I am praying for you as I write.....Do not fear, but continue to love and bless....and see what God does?

Life can be hard........but we are in His hands.

I relate to you 110%. My ex was an abusive person in every way, very deceptive and ungodly. She used to purposely provoke me, abusing me and provoking to the point of no escape. I'm divorced now, there was no option left but to walk away. Like you, I hate divorce but GOD's will is not for two to be unequally yoked. My ex was as ungodly of a woman as I can imagine and she continues in that path til this day.

I pray the Lord directs you according to His will.

Hi Ricardo,
Marrage can be tough, this I know. I too am going through my own troubles with my marrage as well. Except in my case, it's my husband. I will pray for you & your wife. I understand the troubled feelings you must be going through, and the heartache as well.

 

[Daniel Symmons]

Hi Ricardo,

My prayers are with you. My wife is also 'distant' from God and it has been a point of hardship in our marriage. I pray that you may have the strength to hold fast to your faith and allow this to feed into your married life.
I don't know you or Sylvia at all so I can only speak and pray for you out of my own experience, but this I will share with you and hope that it helps. It took me many years to understand that my wife saw my faith and love for God as a threat to our relationship. She saw Jesus as a rival who took all my time and passion (and with some justification). I had to change, to allow God to help me give more time to wife and family so that she could see that my relationship with Him really benefits my relationship with her. We are a little better at this but marriage is a long journey. Part of this was accepting that she has to choose a relationship with Jesus in her own right, it is not commissioned to bind her in chains and drag her before Christ, it is not how I came to him, it is just not how he works.

If I understand what you are saying you feel unsure if you sought out the right wife through God. Relax, God loves you both and gave his blessing at your wedding. Maybe he gave you to her because she needed someone with your sensitivities to help her become truly and freely herself. Rest assured Jesus works in situations as they are now and not as they should be if we'd taken a different path. As long as you travel with Him the different twists and turns are secondary. All are human companions are 'tax collectors and sinners' as are we!

I also pray that you feel empowered to be truly yourself and not downtrodden. If she would be sovereign over you she is rivalling God. In my own experience of trying to balance honouring my wife as I should and God there has been much friction and I have often erred both ways. God calls us to 'render unto Caesar what is his'. The best advice I can give you is to pray often for guidence from the spirit, and especially in times of conflict send arrow prays to God. This i have found amazingly effective at defusing tension.

I apologies for giving too much advice when what you need is prayer. My prayers are with you also!!

In fellowship,

John

 

[rickygtz]

Dear brother John. I really appreciate your prayers and your advice. God knows e erything , and is control of everything. I believe he will reveal me his will. I just sometimes , do need encouragment, from other brothers sisters, and from the Word of God. Even when i know this , my faith and patience goes weak sometimes.

 

[Daniel Symmons]

We are weak but God is Strong. When we rely on our own resources without Him we run dry. When we allow Him into our struggles and see through His eyes life becomes fuller, not necessarily easier (straight away any way), but better.

God give you strength and endurance and wisdom (as to when to stand and when to give) and may He 'Make is face to shine upon you'.

In fellowship,

John
