2 Samuel 21:8-11
Women are nurturers by nature. They often struggles with submission, so the Holy Spirit challenges women to submit (Ephesians 5:22). Had Eve been submitted to her husband, she would have referred the serpent in the garden to him, her covering. As the church, the submitted bride of Christ, we are told to submit ourselves unto God, resist the devil and he will flee (see James 4:7). Submission brings strength and a submitted vessel gains power to resist. When the enemy meets with real resistance, he will flee. But we must understand that the battle is not ours; it belongs to the One who cover us!
Within a woman the Holy Spirit establishes a nurturing spirit that will not allow her to push away her young but nurse them and to care for them. Doesn’t it make you angry to see how the enemy always wants to pervert good for evil? You see, Satan cannot create. He has to use what he is already created. He pervert corrupts, and even disrupts, but he cannot create. The wise woman learns his devices. Once you learn what he is trying to do, use your strength for positive purpose. Stop being seduced into using your abilities for what he’s trying to grow.
Nurturing a problems not only strength from you, just as an unborn child can only get food from his mother. The enemy cannot live in a blood-washed, regenerated spirit. The enemy can only thrive in your mind if you let him live off your old memories and fears. He is a leech that depends upon your umbilical cord for survival. Cut that cord and watch your fears. Starve to death.
Like Rizpah, who guarded the bodies of her dead sons until she had gotten the king’s attention and arranged a proper burial for them, you have to be careful not to hang around dead issues and keep company with things that ought to be put to death.
Rizpah was being faithful to her children, but some of you are hanging around issues that don’t belong to you. Recognize those tendencies to walk among the dead as the enemy seeking whom he may devour (see 1 peter 2:8) and don’t let him have you!

Dear Pastor
How does one trust their spouse again after being lied to repeatedly.
Is it right for a husband to do everything that his parents tell him to, especially if it has
to do with finances. My husband and i discuss and make decisions at home, but when he has
visited home, whatever we have decided to do is changed to something else which his mother
tells him. Aren’t we suppose to make our own decisions and have them end there. I’m frustrated because i see that i am not important in this marriage. I need prayer please.
I love my husband very much and want, actually need God to restore our marriage.
God Bless

There is no marital problem that God cannot solve. You have been married for 32 years and you both still love each other, despite appearances.
Keep fighting for your marriage. Go into fasting and prayer.Open your heart completely to the Lord, cry out to Him. Forgive your husband and ask the Lord to return the milk and honey to your relationship.
What seems impossible to us, is always possible with God.
“Prayer Rain” by Dr. D.K.Olukoya and “Point By Point 101 Prayers That Strengthen Marriages and Other Relationships” by Elisha Goodman has powerful prayers that you can use coupled with fasting.
Don’t give up!!!!!!!
God bless you and your marriage.

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE! He did not say that to flater anyone but he said it for a reason, go to him open heartedly and express everthind within you for he said he shall hear all our prayers and resound, if we trust and have faith in him what can stop him from blessing us? let us hold on to him and never let him go.

i rushed into marriage knowing that i stand knowing god (religiously) and he stands knowing nothing of god(worldly). i realized it afterwards it was a dumb move, however i also know the power of god, and the miricals he has done for each and everyone of us. the point is i need prayer desperately he now knows god as he takes baby steps and as i try to do my best since i was raised out of church. As he transition from worldly to godly we fight and i mean we fight. we both love each other so much and we both know that we want this marriage more then ever. we are a blended family 5 kids. we recently tried an activity were we just throw everything out on the table so that god can break us for good so that he can be able to start to build up a strong foundation, and i will admitt as hard as it was we made it threw that. however the fighting dont stop. His comments, his attitude, his lack of maturaty, HIS HURTFUL WORDS TOWARDS ME!!! i have gave up so much family and friends because of the abusiveness i would get at one time which i thank god for that. It took my husband a good minutie to no not to hit me anymore we both ended up in jail because of him beating me up and me defendeding myself . however he stop that but leaves all the others. we talk time after time again we agree to it then next minute i know he is doing the same thing because he has pride. Now let me be honest because im a fair person i tell you the way it is so i can shame the devil. Im not a very easy person to deal with in life im very out spoken like he is im very stubborn like he is i also too lack some maturity, and yes it is fair to say im dealing with my self but in a mans body. the only difference is my wisdom, my knowledge on what i was taught and i learned, i guess what im saying i need a miracle to take place we waisted so much time on the bad that, we dont want our kids to see this so we are tring to change but how do we change and raise our kids to be fruitful when there father does it when ever its right for him. im tired of the sorries, im tired of the hurtful words, im tired because he sees us going without but still chooses to do nothing about work nor life its self. i want a man of god i wasnt called to change a man and teach him how to be a man i not built like a man im built to be me and i long to have that change man knowing that he will never go back to what he was to what i know deep down in my heart what he is going to become. I have to speak wisdom i have to be wise i speak and lay hands on my kids and say what their lifes are going to become and he does nothing just watch please help me pray for me family plz

Oh, Pastor T.D.Jakes. I am so greatful for these passages from the Bible. I have been married for a little over a year and four months into my marriage I left my husband. I found out that the woman who he said he left alone to be with me became pregnant with his child. I have not spoken to him until now. We do have two children together (one deceased) and a three year old. We have been through what I would
think as the normal relationship (minus the cheating, physical and venal abuse).
