“ My people are being destroyed because they do not know me. Just as you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to acknowledge you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to bless your children.” O46
Beautiful, the Word calls us in Psalm 1 to delight and meditate on His Word day and night. How will we learn His Word, His law? It is only when we spend time feeding ourselves with His Word, knowing that it will be our sword in every fight.
Last week the pastor I work with asked me about my eh and our situation (he has known my eh since he was a child) during that conversation he told me “the word says that if the non-believer leaves, meaning abandons (the relationship), the believer is no longer under the law” I remained silent thinking “could it be that he wants to tell me what I think” and he continued speaking in my understanding “that I didn’t have to continue without a partner” and I remained silent until I felt guided to speak.
Ladies, I didn’t ask the Lord for guidance in my response but He still told me what to say a long time ago. He already knew that one day I would have to go through this test of explaining how I live based on His word, but I would have never thought that one of those people would be a pastor. Well, to tell the truth, what helped me gain the knowledge today were nights of crying, reading and praying with Him, especially making my 3×5 cards. When He told me that I was no longer under the law since the “non-believer” was gone, I smiled and told Him that I usually don’t get into this type of conversation but I just want to say “Milton, my spouse, is a believer, and God hates divorce and so do I, it is something that even though it crossed my mind once, he had always told me since before I was married, that once I did it, that the promise would be made once and it would be “until death do us part” (in my thinking). I added to the insinuation of finding another partner since I am still “young” according to him; If I were to enter into that, if I only thought about it, it would be adultery and living like that I would never be happy, nor at peace, neither physically nor mentally, so I stay as I am with my Best Company and let it be what He wants. I am Happy with my Lord !!!
And he (pastor) then tells me that he sees many of my age in this situation doing different things. Then I answer: I do not want my Lord angry with me, I love it, I am at PEACE. In the end, remember that what happens to us is because He allows it and if He allows it… I did not finish the promise, the pastor made it, agreeing with me that “ All things work together for GOOD for those who love Him.” R8:28
Ladies if I had not met my Beloved as and when I did perhaps I would have failed this test, but Victory is only His who has given us His word to proclaim and be protected or to defend ourselves as our sword. We are in a war and the bullets come from where we least expect, let us not get too comfortable the enemy is hunting but our Beloved is Bigger than him, He loves us, protects us and prepares us for war, let your Heavenly Husband train you, study His word, let us have intimacy with HIM and strengthen our communication and relationship with Him. Knowing that His Word is our Sword in every fight but the battle is always His, let´s keep the faith in Him.
Dear Jewel, thank you for this wise lesson and encouragement. It is indeed important to know the Word of our Heavenly Man and to accept His Word to resist the temptations of others with other intentions. I experience most difficult moments at my workplace. Where most women are single or divorced young. Even though they know that I am a believer, I sometimes get the question if I don’t need another man. Your testimony comes at the right time for me to continue to hold the hand of my Beloved. With in my heart that everything happens for my good
Dear Kristine, I always remember from LAL ” they dont have it ” we have the best Husband and with HIm we have everything so even though we know the answer is NO we don´t keeping in silence is also our best defense have HIm defend us.
Hello. Three pastors told me the same thing… and I answered the same thing as you. However, these three people showed me examples of very fulfilled remarried couples who powerfully serve God with anointing and ministries. I saw throughout my childhood my mother living alone and unhappy and my father very fulfilled with the foreign woman… I am a little lost.
bonjour. 3 pasteurs m’ont dit la même chose… et j’ai répondu la même chose que vous. cependant, c’est trois personnes m’ont montré des exemples de couples remariés très épanouis qui servent puissamment Dieu avec onction et ministères. j’ai vu toute mon enfance ma mère vivre seule et malheureuse et mon père très épanoui avec la femme étrangère… je suis un peu perdue.
Dear Lux, I can´t explain you how confusing this get and how many times I chose to remain quiet because, yes they are other cases of couples that live happy, but my dear that is something that only He can help us undertand through His words and He is the one with the last word. I chose to obey and remain waiting for His will to be done as I continue to learn from every situation and add more testimonies of His hand in my life.
Right now I´m living alone with my son while my spouse lives with someone else, but He has healed my heart, that it doesn´t hurt anymore and filled me with His love, this way I live at peace knowing He is control, so just trust HIM.

Chère Lux, je ne peux pas t’expliquer à quel point tout cela est déroutant et combien de fois j’ai choisi de me taire. Certes, il existe d’autres couples heureux, mais ma chère, c’est quelque chose que Lui seul peut nous aider à comprendre par Ses paroles, et c’est Lui qui a le dernier mot. J’ai choisi d’obéir et d’attendre que Sa volonté soit faite, tout en continuant d’apprendre de chaque situation et en ajoutant de nouveaux témoignages de Sa main dans ma vie.
En ce moment, je vis seule avec mon fils tandis que mon conjoint vit avec quelqu’un d’autre, mais Il a guéri mon cœur, il ne me fait plus mal et m’a comblée de Son amour. Ainsi, je vis en paix, sachant qu’Il est aux commandes, alors fais-Lui confiance.
