Yes, yes, and yes but our whole family was kicked out for some reason. Yeah, I've turned on all the lights on in my hotel. The curtain is drawn back. Nothing but the blood of Jesus is playing. It makes me twitch a lot, but it's better than just doing nothing and being scared. Can you tell us what you mean by going through trauma and why you are scared of your husband?

Ill get back to you. Even now I have to fight. Pray in the Spirit. Pray that the enemy doesn't make me give way to panic. I think I'm being attacked by occult practices but I have no way to confirm that. I just am using everything I can to fight back.

Don’t panic sister. Don’t let fear control you. Fear has no power over you beyond the power you give it.

Last night, I covered my hair, and repented for specific sins in my life, any that came to mind. Especially any compromises with witchcraft and spiritual darkness. I feel that I was being led to the slaughter and that I only now see the light because of the Father's mercy. Calvinist and OSAS has failed. So I trust the Holy Spirit now. I only pray the Lord forgives me for not being discerning and allowing evil into my life. I pray He deals with me according to His mercy and gives me a chance to live totally submitted to His will and nothing else. I don't deserve it. I deserve hell with all the other rebels. But I feel Him calling me forward. Please pray for me that I would one the Lord and finally separate myself from evil people. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

salvation is not just being saved from hell. we are saved from our sins. 1 justification. or just-if-i'd never sinned. 2 sanctification. we are sanctified or set apart from the world to God at the moment we are born again, but it is also an ongoing process until we die where we are made more and more into his likeness and taught how to live righteously. 3. glorification. when we die or are called up. we will be glorified. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13 - 14 salvation is going from being dead in sin to being alive in Christ and having a relationship restored with Him. Its having His Spirit in us. its living to God. salvation is not just about what we get as a materialistic and self entitled culture clings to, but also because of what we got how we are now different. set apart. And that's the beauty of it . The moment I was drawn to Christ I came alive and a whole new desire . I came to life and being made alive in Christ sin became exceeding sinful a complete awareness to how evil sin is and as I live I die . Live unto CHRIST , die to sin . That's the beauty of it . A whole new creature . And at the whiff of sin and evil of the flesh , the beauty of HIS ALARM BELL does ring , EVIL EVIL ,cease and disset from this thought . YALL KNOW ITS TRUE . SO when I see christains walking in sin and justifying their love of what pleases them, I am like Now where is the HOLY SPIRIT . FOR IF THEY HAD THE HOLY SPIRIT why would they walk in willfull sin with no conscious . Folks have been deceived real bad . OH they got a wee bit of head knowledge only its reasoned out by the flesh . I SEE NO SPIRIT IN MANY . IS this possible , can we discern the tree . YOU BET IT IS . MANY have not the SPIRIT . this is a FACT and a very scary one for them . OH they gots lots of twisted hermes , lots of twisted understanding of men , BUT I SEE NOT THE SPIRIT . BECAUSE the SPIRIT does not justify evil behavior , its shuts it down .

How do you discern salvation? "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word;
and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him." - John 14:23
"...this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after
those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their
hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." - Jeremiah 31:33
"Only acknowledge your iniquity,
That you have transgressed against the Lord your God..." - Jeremiah 3:13
"As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us." - Psalm 103:12
"...one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and
reaching forward to those things which are ahead..." - Philippians 3:13
" For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins
and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." - Hebrews 8:12The Lord is calling you to live a new life... And all you have to do is to believe in Him.
"I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." - Luke 5:32
"For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all." - Romans 11:32
"He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy." - Proverbs 28:13
"I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the
angels of God over one sinner who repents." - Luke 15:10
"for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." - Luke 19:10
"Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!..." - 1 John 3:1
You are loved in Jesus' name! Blessings!By the grace of GOD , Letters hit the nail right into the box with one swift strike . BUT THEN LOOK WHOSE SAYINGS HE IS USING . OF COURSE ITS TOTAL TRUTH .

Naomi, I had a chance to go back and read through that thread you had going at WCF, about all you have been going through at home, and Biblically, your husband is 100 percent wrong in expecting you to work and keep him up. I have no idea where he ever came up with that idea! The Bible makes it clear that the man is the one that God says is to earn a living by the sweat of his brow. The woman was created to be a help-meet to her husband, and her primary responsibilities are being a housewife and Mother. The curse she had placed on her was pain in child bearing. The Bible says that if a man won't work, neither should he eat. Your husband needs to learn to step up and meet his obligations to you and your household. Under the circumstances, having children would only complicate things more. That one comment where he told you that if you aren't going to keep him up, he doesn't care if you leave tells you where his heart is.
The only thing I don't know about is how much better off you are now than you were keeping him up. You said you have no home, and living in motels is very expensive. Just from a practical standpoint, I am not sure you did the right thing in leaving. He is still head of the home, even if he doesn't do right, and you indicated you felt God wanted you to remain with him, but you left because he wouldn't do right. Did he ever go to marriage counseling with you? It is such a frustrating situation when one spouse won't follow scripture, but the other spouse still has to follow the Bible regardless, as we have to be concerned with our own relationship with God. If you are with your husband, you have to be the provider and do all the work around the house, because that is what he demands of you. It is unreasonable, and he will have to answer to God for the way he is running his home, but he is still the one in charge. Demanding he change isn't going to work.
Here is what you need to think about Naomi. Are you better off now than being with him if he will not change? Chances are, you will have to put up with him being like this from now on, barring intervention from God. Can you live with doing everything for him, and him basically being a bum? Did God really tell you to go home and submit to him? Are you better off now or worse off now than when you were living with him? Can you see yourself living single the rest of your life? These are all serious questions that none of us can answer for you. All we can do is pray for you, which I will do. Do some serious soul searching, and know the will of the Lord in this matter. Do what the Lord instructs you to do. As far as the cult stuff goes, I have no idea if he is mixed up in witchcraft or the occult. I am not going to tell you to remain apart or go back with him. My counsel is to think about whether you are better or worse being apart from him, and more important, what the Lord wants you to do, and make up your mind based on that. Regardless, I know you are facing a serious struggle, and I am sorry you are having to go through this. We are here for you. Feel free to lean on us here. I am sure you can find someone to lend an ear. You can talk to me or perhaps you would be more comfortable taking to sister Abby, but the main thing is that you don't need to go through this struggle alone.

I am better. I care about him deeply still. But he drained me. It's been a struggle but I feel like I have room to be myself again. I can get my bachelor's, have time to not look frumpy, time to be healthier.its great

I appreciate that. You're not cruel. You just really love the Lord and want me to put Him first. I am having to now rely on The Lord and the Church in ways I never had to before. When I begged the Lord to make me more like Him, this was his answer. Now I have joys because my scars reflect Christ's suffering. Because now I have fought the enemy and conquered through the blood of Jesus. Butero, thank you for praying. In that hotel room, I was fighting. I was fighting every foothold Satan had ever gotten. He uses fear and shame and lies put into our heads. He can't completely ruin what God made. But He lies and when we believe those lies, He has us in bondage. The truth is that The Lord did not make me "too unique" but I am fearfully and wonderfully made for the Kingdom of God. I am the Lord's precious daughter and He delights in the specific way He made me. I had to get that back. Satan wanted me to think I was "too fat, too ugly, too mentally ill"... So I'd give into the fear of insanity, become insane, and lose my calling. However, what the enemy meant for my downfall became the greatest blessing of my life. God has a purpose for me. And I follow the Spirit and the Word, not some theological system. I am doing what God called me to do--- act in honor as I'm still married, but focus on getting healthy and my house in order.

For Tabitha3319 ‘s situation, I’m reminded of this... But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. — 1 Corinthians 7:15 Whether a husband departs by physically moving out himself or by telling his wife she might as well leave, a wife can tell when she’s been shoved aside. This doean’t mean she should run out and find a new husband, but she can’t force a man to provide for her against his will. If Naomi has been the one paying the bills, and it gets to where she can’t work long-term because she’s unstable, what do you suppose would happen? Naomi, my advice is to find a safe place where you can recover, get yourself mentally and spiritually healthy, but do stay from any new romantic relationships, and try to stay loyal to your vows. Then pray for the Lord to move on your husband’s heart. If your husband repents and you can save your marriage, that’s the best outcome. But follow the Lord’s leadership and let Him handle the situation.
