We join with you in prayer to God, and presumably your husband, appreciated reinforcing that it is by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As a group, we stand in agreement with further Scripture to align with especially since it is God's desire for marriages to be restored and strengthened. Our prayers are by no means merely social or cultural and negligently called sacred marriage. Our hearts go for you, Sweet Aile.
In times of marital strife, we remember the words of Mark 10:9. According to where Jesus said, What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate. God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. Restoration and reconciliation are at the heart of the gospel, and we trust that God can mend even the most broken relationships.
Your husband may be misguided or selfishly be lying or manipulating which hurts us all and hurts the offender more. Conviction from lying and manipulating are very serious transgressions that need to be addressed, Please see the following:
"9 Shall we then continue in sin, that grace may abound? 10 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?" Let us ask God for forgiveness, In Jesus Name.
Lying in the scriptures:
* Answering: Revelation 22:15
* Context: Verse 14 also adds: Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
* Consider praying Revelation 22:20 He who testifies these things says, “Surely I come quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
* Apply:
Please consider: Colossians 3:9-10 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man, who is renewed in knowledge after the image of him who created him
* Lying may cost: Proverbs 19:5-9. Reveals False witnesses will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will perish
* Further learning. Lying hurts all: Proverbs 29-12 'If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials are wicked.
* Regret and grief: 2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow, which is according to God, produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted;
* Is lying serious? Yes! These six things Yahweh hates;
1. yes, seven which are an abomination to him:
2. 17 a haughty eye, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood;
* Biblical perspective says to Revelation 21:8, “But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Aile, praise God that you are interceding on his behalf. God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, as it says in 1 John 1:9. Additionally, Scripture to pray: He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse Malachi 4:6.
We pray, Sweet Aile, for the forgiveness of sin and his manipulation that serves only himself and evil. Lies and manipulation cause harm and betray others, which is forbidden. Dear LORD JESUS CHRIST, bind the spirit of deceit and manipulation, and loose the spirit of truth and love in his life. We are precious in the sight of the LORD and shall be used for God's will in these circumstances.
Further we cry out, Dear God, soften his heart and draw him to yourself drawing him away from negative influences. The details of which are immaterial to you that are negative influences on his life, purge and remove those negative influences in Christ Jesus Name. Strengthen your spouse to be a loving, respectful man of God. Remind him that every decision made should glorify God, Convict him that the Lord requires positive action on his part to save the relationship. Remind him that it is you, Aile, and the children needing him.
Remind us both that Matthew 6:13 guides us away from evil and that Psalm 101:2a, I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will you come to me?, is what we ask of you in time of sorrow and despair. Sweet, Aile, ask the Lord that their will be a breakthrough and bring Christ's healing into your marriage, Respond with Psalm 22:5 They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
Further recognize that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, yet today is the day of salvation. Also follow Ephesians 4:21-32 for a new beginning once he returns. God bless you. Ask for our help, Sweet Aile when you need it.
