Hi Mark,

Thank you for this post and your prayers. Gosh i am very grateful for this place and the people who come here... very very very grateful.

I get so discouraged when i see what is happening around me. You lose that hope you have in Christ... i know we shouldnt but thats how i feel sometimes.

When i saw your post this morning i felt that hope again... roller coaster. How does God turn someone around when they have free will to choose which direction they want to go...? I know He is a very strong persuader... but it doesnt look so good over here... am i blind? Even after this weekend with her sharing some personal emails with her, and seeing her reaction, i thought maybe something has hit home in her heart? I didnt get my hopes up because of the past histroy with her... but a glimmer of light... i saw it... and she felt it.

She has told me she needs to hit rock bottom... she needs to fall... before she will come to her senses... it didnt make any sense. If someone knows what needs to happen before it happens wouldnt you try to avoid it? I remember sending an email out to Ray? about asking for prayer for God to break me. Well i got what i asked for... because of whats happening in my life i have drawn closer to God.

Will the same happen to her? I dont wish harm to her but maybe thats exactley what needs to happen... how i dont know.

Her circle of friends are having a hayday with me. Her girlfriend calls me "rex" i dont know why. Makes fun of the fact i have food stored in buckets in my basement for laster use if needed... laughs at me. her boyfriend is another story... keeps hinting at physical solutions for me... man i dont get her. I dont get why she doesnt see what is happening to her... the enviroment she is placing herself into.

She plans to move out November 1 2005 to a smaller duplex with all 5 kids, december 1 at the latest. I am keeping the house for a while (for as long as i can afford it) so the kids have a enviroment they recognize... Home. I will need to sublet some of the rooms to make ends meet... it will be difficult but not out of the realm of possibilties with God. Ideally i would like christian tenants but may have to settle for whoever shows up...

If all goes according to her plans shes out at the end of the month and i move back home. I will need to clean house and plan to pray over the entire property with others to clean it spiritually and pray that it will be a place of refuge for anyone who enters this place. So much to do... so much going through my mind... yet im coping... all good things come from Heaven above...All.

Oliver

ps
a few people have felt the prescence of God while praying for this situation, some have felt peace, some have sent personal emails telling me it will be saved, others have words directlky from God. All indicators tell me that He is at wortk in this marriage... He is for this marriage... but it will be on His timing not mine. What more possbily needs to happen for her to turn around and goto God for forgiveness and come back to me? How is HE going to do that? Thank You Jesus.

i too have felt the presence of God when praying for your marraige. after i had read marks post.

i was thinking about prophecylink one night. and all that is written in it , and those of us here. Your marraige update stuck out in my memory , as i pondered it , something hit me. A thought. There are many prophets and apostes here on this site , all praying for you , why then hasnt this turned around?

I started to wonder , and something came to my mind.

You have a wife , and she is cheating on you. Everyone is praying for her to come back to you. Does that sound familair?

Is not our Father in the same situation? Has not Isreal done the same to Him?

Ive been asking God about it , but have heard nothing yet. I just thought i would share this thought

Hi St Joel,

Your post is a confirmation of a conversation i had with my friend at work about the very topic.

He mentioned the book of Hosea as the example of God and Israel.

It is Gods timing and not mine. I continue to pepper my wife with scripture and other things that directly relate to her experience on the weekend. I continue to plant the seed of Hope into her when i can... i see the cracks this morning...

Its her weekend away from the house and i get to look after the kids (5). I believe God is working strongly in her life right now... and will continue to do so. One thing i have learned is to forgive... as hard as i try to distant myself from her and what she is doing i cry for her and her soul. Whatever happens the main thing she comes back to God in repentance. If that happens then the angels in heaven will rejoice over her decision... if anything above that happens it will be a testimony for this board and rays website to the Greatness of Gods incredible healing power. The God of the Impossible.

God be glorified in all that happens in my life, my marriage, my wife, my children. May He always be the forefront of all the Good things that come into our lives from above.

Hi guys,

In Leighanns (my wife) own words to me, "i (leighann) need to fall and fall hard before anything changes. She asked me to let her go (which i have done - gave it over to God). So ok... let it be that way, let her hit rock bottom Lord.

Please pray for that... that she would fall and come back to Jesus in repentence and turn away from her sin, be forgiven, and forgive herself.

I dont know if this prayer is right?, but i had to fall to lose it all... only then did i draw closer to God.

Love in Jesus,

Oliver

ps i dont wish her any harm... none. That is not on my heart for her.

its gross how sin turns our hearts. how we desire nothing else. How love turns cold withen us. What can turn our hearts but God? Who can free us but God? does she need to hit "rock bottom"? what is rock bottom? sin is never satisfied. if shes waiting to have her fill , tell her it always hungers for more. If the lust is consuming her heart , if she can desire nothing else , tell her Jesus can change her hearts desire. He can free her from her sin. Tell her its foolishness to wait , lest destruction come upon her suddenly. Now is the time for repentance , may the Lord have Mercy on our souls.

it would be wrong to pray for harm to come on her ,which it very well could if she hits rock bottom,for god loves us all , like a father's love for a child ,pray for the demonic influences in her life to be replaced with god's love,for the same as we listen to the holy spirit she is listening to demonic spirits that make her think she is making these decisions,a very common tactic of the devil
yours in christ mark

Hello,

You dont need to pray for this situation any longer. Its time to move on.


Oliver

Oh boy.

Somethings happening again with my wife. If you would kindly disregard my previous post. She is scared about moving out and is having second thoughts about her current situation.

I dont know whats happening inside of her but i think the battle has just turned around.

I dont know what to think at this point as it is in Gods hands, and has been for a while now.

For the kids sake of having a father and mother to grow up with... please continue to pray for this situation and battle.

I feel like a yoyo on a roller coaster.

Oliver
