I'm also married with children to an unbelieving wife. God help me and give me courage, comfort and strength to stand firm in your word. Save my wife, Jesus.

I am in the same predicament as this fellow christian. I do my best to hold onto hope but I often seem to drop it or leave it somewhere. I now understand that it's a daily thing now based on this video, so I will begin to move in that direction. I have 3 beautiful boys who I am trying my best to raise as the next generation of christians. Through God it will be possible. Thank you for this!

by remembering that Christ loves them. Hold firm to your faith, pray for her, and Especially being the husband, God gives spiritually authority over the household. never divorce but just love her, and in prayer God will move.

Going thru this now although mine claims to be a believer (there is no real fruit). It has drawn me closer to God but everyday it is hard not to get discouraged.

msdeety - I know what you mean, I've been in this situation for a number of years now. Took me a while to surrender all this to the Lord, and humble myself and obey Him. Jesus says to love our enemies, and here I was not willing to love my husband anymore - scary and sobering. The Lord gave us His Holy Spirit that through Him we can be patient, love and be humble towards all, just as Jesus was and is! All glory to our awesome and living God!!

Thank You Thank You for reminding us, those who have these and similar struggles, about the work of God by praying continually. Philippians 4:6 also comes to my mind for those who struggle. Another favourite is 3 John 1:2 for the spouse who we struggle with.

Being unequally yoked makes me cling to GOD and wait on Him. It also causes me to be zealous for the Lord and passionate with those who are Christ-followers and are in "relationships" with those who even may claim to be Christ-followers, but without fruit to flee the passions of lust and seek first God's Kingdom ...

I've fallen in love with a non-Christian. I live for God with all of my heart and I want nothing to do with the world. I've been running away from this relationship but it just grows stronger and I've been praying about it and well... It's absolutely unlike anything I've ever experienced. I still have some prayer and fasting to do but I'm coming closer to God through it and it seems to be his will.

How have things gone? Scripture is clear we arnt to purposefully marry into being unequally yoked. I did and its not east at all no matter how much you love someone and its quite heart breaking spiritually.

I was saved after I married an unbeliever. No matter how great you think your marriage will be, it gets very lonely not sharing your faith with your spouse. You can feel the division. Not a good idea if you are truly saved.

@@KPaq Yes I agree. Thank you. I actually decided to break it off when it was at the peak. It’s the most difficult thing I’ve had to do but God revealed it to me. I made it clear to God that I was completely willing to do it. My best guess is that it wasn’t Gods will, but rather something that had to happen or was very likely to, most likey a result of me sowing into my flesh a major part of my life and then reaping a bitter fruit thereof. I’m sorry to hear about your case. I’ll pray for you. Best take it to God. If you really want to move forward I suggest that you make it clear to God that you’re willing to do absolutely anything, as long as it’s his will and he will come to a solution. Always keep climbing don’t settle even if everything is perfect. Keep seeking him during the best times as well as the worst. Don’t even choose to get comfortable in the peak of his grace. Keep moving forward and trusting God no matter what it takes. The true rest comes after this life. God bless

Remember Lot’s wife. If the Spouse do not listen to God & our pleadings, they will perish… Not everyone can be Saved. Leave in God’s hand. Don’t worry too much & we do our part in praying for them. We do our best to be a righteous spouse to them nevertheless.

I recall reading some verses about sanctification and I have read that if a man believes then his whole house can be saved. It is in a verse
@tamanitembo2197 Жыл бұрын
@@metaiv9527The sanctification is in the form of them simply being set apart from the rest through the prayers of the believing spouse. So they're sanctified but how they get saved is entirely between them and God.

Light House You are saved! I’m praying for you along with your husband. I’m in the same situation. I would recommend reading your bible daily and let it remind you how you should act. You are going through a tough time but you will be okay. Much love.

Study 1 Peter 3 and 1 Corinthians 7:10-24. This is great biblical advice for unequally yoked marriages. Dont forget who you belong to: the Lord Jesus, our Father in Heaven, and you are indwelt by the Holy Spirit! My spouse is not a believer and I am struggling this, but the Lord showed me the best thing anybody can do is pray for our spouse's salvation and pray that the Lord can mold us into the godly women he called us to be! Acts 16:31 And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Bless you sister, I will pray your situation improves! ❤

I know this is an old post, but I started veering away from Jesus shortly after marrying my nonbeliveing husband. I was warned by the church ministry and my mom, but I went ahead of it anyways because he was a great guy, treated me with love and respect, was good with my kids, had a great job and was extremely responsible... Logically, it made sense and we also had an emotional connection. I got pregnant six months after we married and we bought our first home together all around the time I started slipping from church and my prayer and worship time with Jesus. From that point on we've had a lot of suffering and I started focussing on ways to connect with him and win his affection so I started giving into the type of shows i'd be willing to watch. He became completely distant and uninvolved with the kids. I was constantly playing referee between him and the kids and i was at the point of giving up because I hated the person I had become. About a year and a half ago I was praying, asking God to give me direction for His will in my life. Now I'm not sure if It was my prideful heart at the time that lead me to return to Liberty University for my Graduate degree (against my husband's advice/liking) or if it was Jesus opening doors to bring me back in relation with Him. I'm more incline to believe it was a Godly revelation because it has indeed lead to restoration in faith, relation with Christ and He has filled me with joy, peace and hope like never before... It's been an incredibly humbling, growing experience. However, it has also caused great tension in my marriage because my husband outwardly disagrees with anything on a biblical perspective. He's upset I won't watch particular programs because of the content, he hates anything regarding politics, so my view on conservative matters are disapproved of, our parenting involvement/techniques are polar opposites and the list goes on and on. Even throughout this additional tension, I've stayed faithful to Christ in my time with Him through daily scripture, prayer and discipline in which Christ has given me the strength and courage to be kind, patient, truthful, slow to speak, and slow to anger. I promised that I would never leave and have no intention to but now he is threatening to. All I can do is continue to pray for him while continuing to grow in Christ.

I was like you when I first found out I was unequally yoked after 9 years (3 years of marriage and finding this out hurt me to the core. He lied about who he was, lied to impress me, lied to kick it with me, lied to keep me... the whole time until he couldn't hold it as his truth anymore; until i started asking questions to clarify and figure out why life seemed divided and not on one accord). I started taking these scriptures recently and started to apply them to my life. I am now standing on the word of God along with His promises, miracles, signs, and wonders. Thank you Lord for loving me and teaching me to love my unbelieving husband.
