Also now, I pray 3 things:
1. Lord God, make us able to see that as for Joseph, you will use everything, even evil in our life to bring forth good according to your plan.
2. Give us grace and reveal to us the reason why You allow certain things to happen to us and the Goal You are pursuing for our life through them.
3. Help us to welcome them, accept them, bring them to You in prayer, to be able to know how to react and deal with them with your help.
In the name of Yeshoua.

And I’m so biold to add something to my last commend: God HZIMSELF divorced from Israel!! Later he married Israel again..you know the STORY!
A godly marriage is something other than we know..its AGAPE in all things and every partner had made a COVENANT to BE THE BEST from his/her whole heart! Every other thing blames GOD!!

Hello dear Ones out there!!

I myself are married 20 yrs now, and my husband was a drug addict. So, God had given grace and he get out, but after some 5 yrs, the habbit comes again through testings in his health, and we had three horrible yrs were i feel so lonely, misused and betrayed, with suicide thoughts, my kids also…I serched hard for truth in this. I ‘m now saying this: God loves the sinner, but He HATES SIN! Because the results are destroying LIFE!! God IS TRUTH and we must follow TRUTH, not LIES, because the word of God says: They are perishing because of lack of KNOWLEDGE!
Why would it be GOOD when i would make suicide??? God don’t want me dead, but LIVING A TESTIMONY THAT HE IS MY LIFE and HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT ME!!

My sister in law had also a drug addict husband. He was not a believer, but she had been born again, but not matured in christ..her son had made suicide, shortly after her husband died after too much drinking!!

I would encourage every body to stay out of a perishing and only hurtful marriage! This isn’t God’s will to suffer for the LIE! We have to suffer for the truth and because of this truth I’m seperating from my husband.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil!!

That’s what i discovered!!

Be blessed and stay alert! The DEvil only comes to what? TO KILL! TO STEAL! TO DESTROY!! Is that God’s purpose for LIFE and MARRIAGE!! I SAY NO NO NO!!!

PS: Thank you Chip for your comment. It makes me feel good.

Yes, I try not to believe that I am a frightful sinner who reaps somewhere what she sowed. (And that it is my fault that everything has been spoiled/wasted in my life.)
I did my best to be in obedience out of love for God… saying yes until death if He asked me (even if it finally scares)… Yes … I Need to deepen understanding of the grace and sovereignty of God. ?

Phew! I really spent a lot of time, but I finally finished the reading followed by Genesis; And the story of Joseph is peculiar to me… and I think about it every time…
But no, I still do not understand how God can desire and allow these horrible things in my life… I do not see (except for one or two things) how of these hundreds of sufferings, betrayals, losses, mess etc. – More than thirty years – it could one day come out of the good…

I really do not see how these horrible things increase Christ in me and diminish me… They just make me lose hope, put me in doubt, even risk losing my faith… and I do not think That it is good… Well… I do not give up.

In reply to Dave.

Hey Dave, thanks for your thoughts. I agree we suffer the consequences of our sins, and if we sow to the flesh then we reap of the flesh corruption. However, a lot of what happens to us comes from other people or circumstances – not our fault. And who can say they are living perfectly righteous lives? I don’t think God leaves us twisting in the wind the moment we mess up. He’s going to use everything – good, bad, and ugly – to work in our lives. His grace is greater, and the fact that He can take evil and somehow use it for good in the end is one of His most amazing attributes.

When God put Adam and Eve in the garden all things were working together for the good. When they sinned, this ceased. The way we can return to all things working together for the good is through righteous living. I personally don’t believe all things are working together if we aren’t living righteous lives. Many times the hardships we are suffering are the result of consequences of our sins. God wants all things to work together, that’s why He begins transforming us in our minds then this should radiate to our bodies then to our surroundings. Only God’s order is perfect. If we can go back to the smallest element known to mankind which is the atom. It’s working perfectly. Many atoms put together perfectly grows into man. The same with plants and even soil. Microbes are working together in perfect harmony. All things are working together for the good. But when we put a kink in God’s order, we disrupt this perfect process and things cease to be working together for the good because once God’s order is disrupted, chaos follows. We’re living in a chaotic world. Thankfully, Our Lord Jesus Christ restored order and when we follow Him and allow His righteousness to govern our lives, order is resumed. When we are clothed with Christ and all things are perfect again, as in the Garden but until then we wage a battle with sin, Satan and self. Leaven is an example. I didn’t understand this until I took up making my own bread. Leaven, or yeast, disrupts the molecule makeup of flour and causes an unnatural rising because it pits molecules and microbes against each other that produces heat . Under the law, they weren’t allowed to use leaven in bread offerings. Why? Because God wants His order and won’t allow anything that disrupts His order. I’ve been thinking long and hard about this for many days.

I was going to leave my husband years ago but Jesus told me very clearly not to. Our church was heavily into submission and that made him into a bully.
I had much to learn. Even though he had prayed the sinner’s prayer he had never found Jesus. He just learned the talk, acted the Christian around other people but was nasty at home.
I just press in to Jesus and go and sit with Him in Heavenly places. You husband has made the decision for you. Learn to press in to Jesus and cry out for Him to show you step by step what you are to do.
Love and prayers

Our enemies can be those of our own household, and it must be hard when your son is involved. The situation with your husband has probably been waiting to reach crisis point,now that it has it’s good you’re even at this stage looking forward, which indicates that everything in you wants more than what you’ve had up until now.many times Jesus himself moved away from certain people, you have probably shown a lot of grace to your husband but truth is now having it’s say.Too many godly women have suffered because of bad marriages, Why endure for a dead situation?Religion has a lot to answer for as to why women have been dishonoured and abused.Jesus gave everything, the Father held nothing back, but it was for a reason, it was not to demonstrate how a good man died at the hands of evil men..it was to take upon himself everything that needed to be laid on him, not for nothing,not for others simply to see he was good, it was to accomplish the will of God in saving us.I’m glad God is leading you out of bondage Sherrie…bless you x

This message is right on target for me and what I am experiencing. God put me in a place that is evil, that is, filled with anger and strife, blaming and criticizing. This evil is a “marriage” that I got myself trapped into 14 years ago. It all came to a head on Wed, Dec. 15, when my husband kicked me out because I was honest with him for a change and told him that I didn’t love him as a husband, but still loved him as a person. I feel sorry for him. So for all these many years I have completed his lies and deceit. I accepted his ways, even though they did not coincide with my beliefs because I knew I was willing to change and become more mature with my walk with Jesus. However, it seems he remains in the wilderness. He tells me he doesn’t want to change because it won’t do any good anyway, at least with me involved. He kicked me out of my house, but let my son stay. It seems he is using him for leverage because he knows that I will come back for him. He is right! He tells me that I will never forgive and forget the past. I think I have come to the conclusion that he is speaking from his heart and he is the one that won’t forgive and forget. I am buying my time to get started earning money as a provisionally licensed counselor to save up money to rent a place. Is this the right thing for me to do? I feel exhausted in this marriage, however, it is by God’s grace that is keeping me fulfilled and joyful…and my head on straight!!

Anyone that wants to comment…I would love to hear from you for advice!
