“If your husband or wife isn’t a follower of the Lord and decides to divorce you, then you should agree to it. You are no longer bound to that person. After all, God chose you and wants you to live at peace. And besides, how do you know if you will be able to save your husband or wife who isn’t a follower?”
[1 Corinthians 7:15-16 CEV]
Shameika writes:
My husband of 3 years and the father of our two young children (ages 3 & 1 1/2) left 2 months ago saying he wanted a divorce. I am saved and I have had a relationship with God for years now. My husband is unsaved, however struggling to obtain a realtionship with God and to live a holy and separated life.
He believes in His word. He studies and he tries to apply God’s word to his life “with his words”. However, he is hindered with lust of the flesh and the worldly mindset he’s developed. When he left me I was shattered. I found out he’d been seeing another woman that is christian who he claims to have lead him to Christ and that he has developed a “spiritual connection” with her.
I was hurt. So bad. My spirits were broken. My heart was broken. I went on a 7 day consecration with the Lord. I needed guidance. I wanted to be right in God’s sight. I love my husband with Agape love. He was so cold to me. I fell on my face to God and cried out for strength and for wisdom. He showed me myself. He ministered to my spirit and led me to know that I needed to change me first.
I was saved, but I had areas that needed destroying. My flesh. My own will. My pride. My EMOTIONS. And then he dropped in my spirit I Corinthians 7:15-16. I realized through God’s word and then confirmation from my spirit and other men and women of God that there was no need for me to be desperately holding on to my husband. To let him leave.
Recently…he has expressed his apologies and the desire to work things out in our marriage. He is still struggling with salvation. He is still undelivered from his flesh, selfishness and pride. Therefore, this is subject to happen again. I am standing on God’s Word and following his instructions to not be unequally yoked. However, I need to be in the perfect Will of God. I am continuing to pray, fast and see God for direction. It is one day at at time. Please keep me in prayer.
