As always a word in due season. We have a victorious mind and the mind of Christ. Your messages are always so encouraging. God bless you and God bless all the lovely standers listening in.
Many times I feel that I want to give up and quit, but I don't , Jesus Christ did not quit or give up on me, I'm the only one standing to restore and reconcile my marriage, I give Thanks in Advance that it's already been restored, in Jesus Christ Name. Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Jamie, for encouraging us standers this evening! At the end of this month, I will have been divorced from my wife for two years (Note: I know some of you have been standing for a lot longer than that, and you are to be commended for doing so!) I admit that I often feel completely hopeless, especially given the fact that she remarried another person in December of 2023. What’s more, I admit that part of me is always saying: “This is over. You will never be able to convince her to return to the marriage”, and of course this is the truth if it’s all up to me. But that of course is the point… It isn’t up to me; it’s up to Jesus. It’s just so difficult for me to let go and give her to Him. Sorry this is so long, but would you ever consider doing a podcast in which you address how we should go about surrendering our prodigal to Jesus, while not giving up on standing for our covenant spouse at the same time? Thanks so much!
@@DanelleOlson-d7w Hello!! Thank you for your comments. Yes let me pray about your question and see how the Lord leads me to answer that questions. Thanks!!
Dear brother, the LORD is in control. Sorry my message is so long. But I pray it gives you hope. In 2019, after 25 + yrs and three amazing children. My covenant husband admitted to an affair. The day he left 5 years ago n this August. When he left, each of our children, aged at the time (12 - son, 15 - daughter, 18 - daughter) They all suffered over the next three years with anxiety, insecurity, self harm, bulimia, and worst of all two attempted suicides by our middle daughter. I Praise the living God for His mercy. All are doing really well now. 🙏🏼 Meanwhile, after leaving us, Peter rented a small flat near the ‘counterfeit’ which was 150 miles away from us. There was never talk of divorce. He was so against it. After 6 months - due to Covid - (his excuse), he moved in with her and her four children (aged at the time, 20, 18, 16 and 11) - her eldest is a son, and three daughters. She had been divorced for 6/7 yrs from a very abusive husband. She and my husband had briefly dated in their teens. So that connection was there. They related over mutual school friends and reminisced. In June 2020, he asked for a divorce (I later found out she had said to him she felt uncomfortable living with a married man). He asked me to sell our new family home - I did. THE LORD GAVE ME SO MUCH GRACE AND PEACE. IT WAS TRULY SUPERNATURAL. The Lord also provided me and the kids with a great rental property. My God is so precious to me. He was and IS my Everything - My kinsman redeemer. I believe, looking back, my husband and I had been together for so long, we simply forgot about each other. The night he left, he told me he’d only become a Christian for me, that he isn’t sure he ever really believed. This hurt more than the affair. He also said he wished he’d listened more to the brothers at church when they always recommended date nights and putting out spouse first. The fact he mentioned that gave me hope. He admitted, looking back at that advice, he was too proud thinking we didn’t need to do that. As our marriage was so strong. He said, I wish I had listened. That gave me hope that he hadn’t truly given up on us. Sadly, leaders in my church said I had biblical grounds to divorce. I had never heard of being a stander. I trusted their judgment. He asked for a divorce June 2020. The decree absolute came through Dec 2020. 🥺 After the divorce I started praying for his salvation and even hers. That’s when things started to go wrong for him. The judgement fell… In August 2021, his dad died. He postponed his wedding and in November 2021, he remarried. My heart broke. They in June, 2022, 8 months later she was diagnosed with lung cancer stage 3. (It was actually misdiagnosed. It was stage 4). By November 2022, the cancer had metastasised and spread swiftly from her lungs to her heart. She collapsed and was rushed to hospital two days before her 51st birthday. The cancer quickly spread to her brain, she had a stroke, and died. Apparently, she had always said (declaring word curses on herself), that she would die by the time she was 51, like her dad did. Very sad. Peter, has since been left to raise her children in the new house they bought when they married. Not one spare room for our kids when they stay. They sleep in the sofa when they visit. This whole thing has really affected our three so deeply. The rejection is deep. My precious God has been amazing with our kids. He amazes me everyday, showing He has them in His palm. I am so thankful I prayed for them to be HIS before we even had children. Praying, Lord, I don’t want to bring children into the world just for them to go to Hell. I’d rather never have children. So if You ever bless us, let them be YOURS. My LORD has been SO FAITHFUL. Finally, in Feb 2024, Peter’s mum died. He is really suffering loss on a grand scale. He is reaping what he sowed I’m told by my new Standers friends. I believe the Holy Spirit is working on him and his heart. I am praying and fasting for his salvation. He came to my house on Father’s Day to see our kids. I hugged him twice and he didn’t pull away. I pulled away first. That filled my heart. God is so gracious. I pray it encourages you and reminds you that The Lord God continually fights for His children and our children. God bless you. HOLD ONTO GOD. Don’t look at the natural. God is Fighting for us in the Spiritual. The natural looks like they’re happy, but inside God is working. In HIM 🙏🏼
@@VeraHull1966 Thank you SO much for this post!! Although I’m truly sorry that you have had to go through all of this, it is comforting to know that I am not alone. 😊 The temptation of course is to say: “My case is different. Things have gone too far and there’s nothing that can be done.” But that is the Evil One trying to discourage me because he is indeed the Father of Lies. Thank you again for sharing your story! It was so gracious and kind of you to do so. 😊 If you don’t mind my asking, have you and your prodigal been reconciled and remarried? If not, I pray that that time is just around the corner for you. 😊 Thanks so much again!😊💙
@@roadtorestoration5371 Thank you so much again, Jamie! I love how you responded with: “Let me pray about what you are asking before I answer your question.” Thank you for setting the example of going to God first. Again, I love that response on your part.😊 I want to follow your example, because of course, I cannot possibly fix what has been broken in our marriage by myself. I desperately need the wisdom that only comes from Jesus. Thanks again! Danelle (a guy with a girl’s name. Ha!)
Great video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
Jamie, I would love your counsel. I betrayed my wife and her trust multiple times while following false idols. God allowed a sin that brought disgrace to myself, my family, my friends, and my community. I have nailed my sins to the cross and have become a new creation. I'm halfway through my year of legal separation, and my daughter has written me out of her life and that of my first grandchild, born earlier this month. My son and I still talk as I believe he recognizes the false idol that lied to me for so many years. I pray for restoration to give my wife the sanctified and consecrated Christian marriage and husband she deserves. I want our marriage to be an example of what it can be after 36 years of me walking in sin. I pray that God works behind the scenes with my daughter and wife. I have unresolved legal charges and don't know if I'm working with or against God's will for me in this regard. I wonder if God's will is for reconciliation and not restoration. Regardless, I continue to live in faith, trust in God's timing, and believe that he is preparing me for "something" grand during this time of separation and living my best life.
@@rusty33393 Hello! I’m not sure what your specific question is but I love the way you have identified your idols and have repented. Whether it’s restoration or reconciliation just remember nothing is impossible for God. What has he placed on your heart?
I get so much from your messages and your ministry is Wonderful. I appreciate you so much. My only concern is that you promoted a Joyce Meyer book. She has been proven to be a false prophet/teacher. Not teaching the true gospel. But a prosperity gospel - which is no gospel at all. If there’s 99% meat and 1% poison given to you would you eat it? - NO. Neither should we be turning listeners to Joyce Meyer. Her ministry is double-minded. She preaches Jesus was the first born again believer. Not the Son of God. Please investigate for yourselves (all who read and either agree or disagree with me). I have investigated and she is NOT someone I’d be happy or willing to promote at all. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏🏼
@@VeraHull1966 I listened to Joyce in 2016 and 2017. I haven’t listened to her recently. I do like her and feel she is biblically sound in her teaching. Maybe you have heard some of her talks that I haven’t heard 🤷♀️
