Mark,
Are you here? I miss your insights, my friend.<p>I know things are very tough, but we need to lean on each other, and we need to know you are OK.<p>Please respond asap.<p>Thanks.<p>Praying for you....

Dear Lupo thank you for your concern. I have just recently moved and yes things have been very difficult for me. I have so many enemies, and they are very relentless in destroying what God wants to restore. It doesnt even seem real. I can only compare it to some stories in the bible, like when Saul found out David was going to take his place as King. Saul couldnt accept that. <p>My wifes mother, my sister, my own mother are all demanding my wife to divorce me. I just found out my own mother has offered to give my wife money to divorce me. Both entire families are againts me. Last i checked, my wife was the one whom left to become a junkie and thought she could bring the children with her and she did for almost a year. I just broke down, cried and prayed for a miracle. Yet im being treated as though i have done so much worse than she did, if that was humanly possible. My wife is not well, and is about ready to lose it compleatly under so much pressure. I am helpless. She wants our marriage restored, but the voices and so many enemies are too much for her, and at times are just too much for me. I waiver back and fourth between trusting God and wanting to give up and die. This trial has gone on for so long. Over 3 years now, not including the other 7 her mother relentlessly seeked to destroy. This woman will not give up, and so many now have joined her.
Please pray for my wife. Her mother senses that we are close, cause she hasnt divorced me and is supposedly getting her this weekend. She will sit my wife in a chair and torment her until she breaks. My wife is at a point where she would rather kill herself than to give in to them, or accept that God wants to restore and go againts them. Her back is againts the wall.
Please pray for me, that i would see God do more than help me make it thru another day to see the power of satan kill and destroy my wife and life. Im very tired of just hangin here on the cross.
I pray God has mercy on everyone here. I pray He comes soon.
Mark

I'm so sorry to hear how things are going (seemingly) from bad to worse. You are truly a child of God for Him to entrust you with so much tribulation.<p>Satan knows it, too, and senses his time is short, so he is on a rampage (Rev. 12:12). Please hang in just a little while longer. I know it's been a long fight. I know you are tired. God knows it, too, but he has *wonderful* things planned for you. That is the only reason I can figure He is allowing this much tribulation to befall you. <p>Think of it this way, when the REAL Tribulation comes for all of us, and it soon will, YOU will feel like it's Child's Play compared to this! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Father of All the Universe,
I humbly come before you to intercede for my brother Mark. Father, his heart is heavy with his burden. Lord, lift this burden from him. Carry it - and him - for now, Lord, for your servant Mark is very tired and hurt. Lord, lift his eyes to see Your ways for his life.<p>Father, REMOVE his enemies from his household. Lord, CLOSE his mother's mouth, his mother-in-law's mouth, and his sister's mouth. Make them UNABLE to speak the lies and hate they want to spread against him. Lord, put a hedge of thorns around his wife so that she will not HEAR the lies and believe them.<p>Lord, send your Holy Spirit to fill the mind of Mark's wife, and renew it - instantly - in the twinkling of an eye, just as the enemy is about to make his final pitch for her thoughts. DO NOT let him gain another foothold in her thoughts, Lord. We ask your protection for her, for Mark and for Mark's son.<p>Lord, YOU ALONE can redeem us from the enemy. YOU ALONE make us whole and well again. We look to You for our healing, our answers, our strength and our salvation.<p>Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

Thank you for the wonderful prayer Lupo. I stand in total agreement. Its all in Gods hands. I pray my situation will turn out to be an encouragment for many.
Mark

Lupo, you are so sweet. Lostpup, I missed you,too.<p>Like Lupo, I feel saddened that things are heavier for you than before. Persecution is going around these days but we have to hang on to the truth that God is greater than our circumstances.<p>You remain in my prayers.

Hi Freshstart,been wonderen how your doing.<p> I believe trials are like school. The tests dont get any easier with each passing grade. Thought id share that... But hey, i think they are starting to seem easier, when they are not. It really does make a difference when you stay close to God. I just wish i could always be in His peace, but unfortunantly we have an enemy that is a theif of our peace, and we have to live in this world although we are not of it. <p>I finally finished putting together my new computer system. I built the tower myself and it really wasnt so much fun. I was humbled a lot. The mennonites next door probably dont think im much of a christian-lol...My vocabulary slipped during this project [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img] They still want me to go to church with em though, and ya know i think i will. They are really COOL people. <p>The wife is doing ok. We still spend weekends together. Shes growin and i am proud of her for putting out the effort to work out her issues. We will be together under the same roof soon enough. Im in no hurry and it will be in Gods time. I think she needs another year in the treatment home. It seems to be Gods will for the moment.
Im just trusting God to put it all together.
I do praise God for where my W and I are today. It has been a huge growth, although sometimes i dont see it.
God Bless, Mark
