Ladies, I'm so sorry for keeping myself in the background for such a long time.I've not been doing well spiritually and I haven't been a good wife to my husband lately.I've been feeling very rebellious in my heart towards God and to my husband .I'm struggling with sexual sin and I feel that I 'm living in a land where it's taboo to talk about God and spiritual matters.I feel that Satan is trying to drain all the faith I have and I'm spiritually thirsty and hungry.I miss real christian friendships and get togethers.I recently met a christian young woman from Kenya and we search for a good evangelical church in the area and now we've found a small one.An Assemblies of God Church.It's small but we can feel the spirit moving.
My husband and I are still together but I feel that we are just living in the house like brother and sister.I'm getting angry all the time and a lot of resentment is building up in me for things that happened in the past.I feel strongly that now is the time to make a change but I'm scared for the unknown.
I'm also worried about my father who is living alone in Florida , after the death of my mother. online, nothing is coming to me.I fear for my faith.
Sorry that I have to pour out my heart like this.Please pray for me.
When I try to read my bible or listen to a christian message

Carla and Jean, this is a great topic. If you haven't already heard this audio, check out "The Proverbs 31 Mighty Woman of God"- http://christianladiestalkradio.com/2008/10/the-proverbs-31-mighty-woman-of-god/

Jean, I absolutely agree that we as wives and mothers can do what the Proverb 31 woman does. I have read that chapter more times than I can say. I strongly believe we can do anything through Christ who strengthens each of us. Of course we will have days that we fall short, but we must realize that we should make a huge effort at doing what God has commanded each of us to do. I love being a wife and mother. I believe it is the most important job I could ever do. I have three wonderful children that God has blessed my husband and I with. Our son is his from his highschool girlfriend, our first daughter is actually my niece and then we were blessed with our own miracle. We plan to have more, but we are waiting right now, and trusting God.
I was so thrilled to find this site. I love God with all my heart and am in the process of starting my own woman's group here in my hometown. So, for me to find a group of woman to encourage me is just wonderful and for me to encourage others as well. This is exactly what we were called to do.
To all woman, may God show you just what you need and how truly blessed you are. God Bless and have a blessed day.
Carla

Comment by Minister Jean Wilson on February 12, 2009 at 10:08am

Rachael,
I see that God ministers to you in a unique and special way. Alot of times he will speak through the woman first even though the man is the head of the home. I have had that happen with me and my spouse alot. At first my husband was resentful because being the man that he is; he felt that what God has to say to us would come through him as being the head; hwever God had to speak to him heart and let him know that he has also placed an anointing and discernment in me; because I am the wife and is to be submissive to me husband, doesn't mean that God cannot speak and work through me. Now that he has "grown" up from that thinking, we flow in the anointing and I am praying that we walk in the overflow of that abundance this year. God has birth an outreach ministry in us and we are just starting out...however, I can see God working it out and people are being delivered and set free through this vision that he birth in us. Now, everyone is not going to be called to be a pastor, but anyone that is a believer, is a minister. Now, in regards to your situation; just know that it doesn't diminish who God has created your spouse to be; however, at this time God is using you to minister to your husband. He wants him to see through you what he is calling him to be as a man of God and the spiritual leader of your home. Just be encouraged that when you do lead prayer or devotion, he is watching all that you do. When you are in your prayer time just continue to thank God for all that he is doing in your marriage...continue to lift up your spouse in prayer and thank God for touching his heart and mind and that you two will be in one accord in your relationship with God. You have already asked God to help you in this situation..now don't ask anymore, he heard you the first time. Just start thanking him and praising him like it is already done. Continue to be the one that initiate the prayer and devotion time as God leads you...."let go and let God"....before you even realize what is going on...your husband will be stepping up and stepping out into what God has called him to be. However much as we want to, we cannot change and dictate how things should be...God does what he wants the way he wants. We just need to stay out of his way. When we do this, we will see changes. God cannot work out the problem if we are trying to fix it ourselves. That shows him that we don't trust him to work it out. I have learned this the hard way and in some situations, I find myself still trying to "fix-it"...during those times, I repent and ask God to help me and get out of his way. He says that we can cast all all cares on him because he careth for us...just trust him. So, my sister, don't despair and stop feeling like you are being "junior holy ghost". You are the vessel that God is using in this season of your marriage.

I meant to say devotionals did not too much work because of the time.

Comment by amages5 on February 12, 2009 at 9:35am

I just ask my husband to pray some mornings and I continue to pray that he have a hunger and thirst. My husband actually asked me one time why do I always have to initiate prayer. I think it was because he didn't want me asking him to pray, which is understandable. I told him why though and he understood but I try to know when to ask and when to just do it myself. My husband prays himself in the morning but sometimes I feel we need to come together as a family, in unity kids and all and pray. Man, it is nothing like having a man that prays and seeks the Lord my husband use to open the church for prayer when we stayed closer to the church. When my husband prays I can feel the covering. I told him too, the atmosphere changes. Like you said you don't want to nag them because it has to be geniune. We have started listening to the radio broadcast in the mornings and we actually went to prayer for 15 minutes this morning at our church. We pray at home but when you are in the sanctuary it is different to me because you don't have time to focus on I need to this, I could be doing that it's just quiet time. Devotionals did too much work because of time but that may work.

Yes, I agree Annette. It is easy to quote the scriptures...but NOT so easy to follow up with true action.
Let us continue to ask God for the help we need in practical application to our lives.

1st Corinthians5:7 would be so easy if you would only follow it. Unfortunately for us women, we tend to be quite moody and sometimes forget submissive roles as women. This is the same for me I think we always need to come to the throne of Grace and asked forgiveness. Similarly, we need to be self less and seek to please our husbands. In the end, we were also pleased ourselves.
