deeparate for Marriage Restoration to a beloved spouse - pointdfirs - 12-23-2016 04:28 PM
My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I am married to a wonderful Christian woman and we were deeply in love. We married because we loved each other rightly and we loved the Lord together. We lived several hours apart and it didn't matter; we absolutely loved being with each other, delighting in each others company. My aunt, a truly Godly woman and a prayer warrior, said "yours is a match made in heaven, you have a once in a lifetime Godly love for each other. It's obvious".
However, I let myself become VERY spiritually and emotionally unhealthy during a change of career and over the course of 2015 as I worked with all my strength (and "my" is the key to the problem) to arrange a work situation that put us under the same roof permanently. God worked wonderfully to get us much closer together but blinded by the enemy's lies I was believing, I actually came to believe He wasn't helping/listening anymore. I became increasingly anxious, fearful, desperate and eventually defeated under the pressure.
It also brought out life-long wounds that I'd worked hard to "cover up". I came to look to my wonderful, gracious, Godly wife as my source and not the Lord. In the shape I was in, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, putting emotional pressure on her the the Lord never meant us to take anywhere but Him, I exhibited very painful behavior towards and around my wife, finally saying extremely hurtful things to her, right into the center of deep wounds from her first marriage...and she put me out. I have not seen or heard from her in 11 months. I am in New York, she is 2 hours away in Ontario.
Over this time God has dealt with me in an amazing, loving, kind way that is nothing apart from miraculous. I am in a good church with an excellent pastor who upholds the marriage covenant, I went through 5 months of counseling and intensive deliverance therapy, involved in weekly prayer group, am under accountability, buried in the Word, spend my days (and many nights) in prayer and have fasted multiple extended times to intercede for my wife. God has given me dreams, visions, words and deliverances....it has been Miraculous. The enemy has also come against me in ways I've never seen before, true oppression...a sign I've been going the Way I should.
My beautiful wife said a number of times: "I pray that you will come to see yourself as Father sees you...and as I see you". Father has answered that prayer beyond what my wife could have imagined. He (and not me) has made me the man and husband for my wife that she deserves, prayed for and Father intends. I am not the man she married....I am more: I am healed in the depth of my heart.
I am sure that she was counseled to have no contact for a year (for legal reasons). I made many attempts to reach her, all rebuffed. After several months of hiding myself in Jesus in healing...I just sent a 34 page letter to my wife (we both LOVE long letters) testifying to all Father has done to answer that prayer she so lovingly prayed for me, affirming my dedication to our vows and covenant before Father and how truly, devotedly, devoutly and dearly I love her. I sent it by email and a hard copy to the house.
I know this is already long, but I wanted all who read this to know that from the instant I read my wife's letter sending me away, I have utterly buried myself in Jesus for healing, deliverance and guidance. I am utterly committed to our marriage and will not abandon my wife's heart in her deep woundedness to Satan.
PLEASE, my Brothers and Sisters....PLEASE intercede for the hearts, love, marriage restoration and future for Bill and Christine, to shut Satan's lying mouth, to deliver my wife's beautiful, gracious heart from its oppression and blindness. Please pray that she will actually receive this letter, will actually read it and that Father God will speak to her so powerfully that she will soften her heart to forgiveness and turn back to her marriage, her vows and the reconciliation Father has for us. She is the love of my life, I nearly walked off into the February forest one night a month after the break from the guilt and shame of hurting her so....but it was my love for her, for my family and for Father that stopped me. I am DESPERATE for Him to intervene, DESPERATE for ONE MORE CHANCE to lay my life down for my beloved Christine and sow into her heart ALL that Father has placed and set free in mine. I have taken a vow with Him in this.
Brother and Sisters, I am DESPERATE for Him to intercede and desperately reach out to you, especially you prayer warriors, those who believe in the marriage covenant and who know that He Heals marriages. I will never meet you (and I'll tell you I'm crying now as I write this) but you can reach deeply into the dearest heart of a marriage and two souls who love Jesus and loved each other so very much. Help me, please...pray, intercede even fast for the reconciliation of Bill and Christine's marriage. I need a miracle, a miracle. We both need Him. I am standing for my wife who, in her pain and woundedness the enemy has captured. Please help me rescue her heart, our marriage and future back from the enemy. He will not add our marriage to his trophy wall of abandoned vows, broken hearts, ruined marriages and divorced, defeated Christian. The last 11 months have been the longest and hardest of my life (and I'm a long service veteran, I've seen a lot), the loneliness has been agony so very much; yet Father has done a Miracle in my heart/mind. Please....PLEASE....intercede and be a part of a Miracle for our marriage. In the life to come, I know Father will show each of you to Christine and I...imagine what that will be like, when I can embrace you for answering this desperate plea from a loving Christian husband trying to rescue his wife's heart and marriage.
God Bless you, God Bless you, God Bless you...and I will pray and fast for any request you favor me with....Gladly and faithfuly
in Christ,
Bill (and my wife Christine)
