"re; Charles division
at home"
My brother Charles, I understand the
frustration you feel about knowing spiritual truth &
your spouse doesnt. I was led into the Messianic movement where
my eyes were open to many truths. I also wanted my husband to
know these things & to walk with me in changing our lives
according to these new truths. It led us down a treacherous path
of division. My husband also threatened to leave me. In
desperation I prayed to the Lord, asking "what do I need to do
open this mans eyes to the truth ?"
His answer shocked me...the Lord said "It is not your job to
open his eyes to it. That is the work of my Holy Spirit."
Then I asked him what my job was then in this situation? He told
me show compassion , mercy , grace understanding &
patience...that is what is required. He also showed me that my
zealousness for these new truths was understandable but is
blinding me to what was really going on...satan's attack !!! the
enemy knew that I had received these truths & his plan was
simple. Divide & conquer...then your wife may never get the
chance to grow spiritually. I will continue to pray for your
situation as well as my own for its been many years now but I
finally have seen my husband ( whos name is Charles by the way)
starting to believe & put these truths in action. I really
believe with all my heart if I would have continued in the
manner of overzealousness my hubby would be long gone.
sincerly a sister in Yeshua
