From Prodigal Spouse to Divorce Recovery

[@dinekevinke3384]

Thank you so much, all this time I have been so alone in this journey, doing the best I could out of my relationship with the Lord. This was so helpfull to me, I hope to come to this complete freedom. I have been so down and disapointed lately of not any good outcome and likely it brought curse in my life. This message is all speaking about it, not to dance with the devil and looking upwards and surrender, not to look on anything the prodigal is doing. Thanks for this message.

Amen! Thank you. This is such rich wisdom that is a far better approach than your mainstream psychology.

I've been married for 34 years and my wife left the marriage 3 months ago. She told me last month she wanted a divorce and 2 weeks ago returned to pick up her personal items. She refuses to talk to me and is the prodigal spouse. She now has moved 4 hours away from me and has made it very clear that she doesn't want me. Despite not wanting a divorce, the Texas divorce laws regarding residency rules, left me with no choice. I've prayed, wept/grieved so much, and asked God- how could my wife/my best friend just leave me like that. I have filed for Divorce and will give my wife that certificate of divorce. I had been standing but I can't stand no more. It's not right that I've been put in this hellish place. I'm closer to God and He won't leave me. I hear what your message is, but unfortunately my prodigal spouse thinks otherwise...

You are still looking at her. Look towards God instead. That's where your peace is. Seek the first the kingdom of God and everything else will work out. It's been 5 months now. I hope you are better.

I have been married for 25 years and my husband filed for divorce in September.. we are both followers of Christ and don’t understand why he has chosen divorce. I take full responsibility for all of my faults but my husband left. I feel so abandoned.. I love him so very much.

Sorry to break it to you, but if you divorce your spous, you're not a true follower of Christ. Since faith is about trust and if you dont trust Christ to help you in your marriage and walk away from it, you are disobeying Him! Divorce is a sin and a Christian would know that.

@@barco777 What your saying is that you must be prefect or your not a follower of Christ or if you dont fully trust then your not a follower of Christ. ( you have no understanding of Grace and your a legalist) The Word says we are being transformed from Grace to Grace it is a proses)

[@barco777]

@@arthurroberts49 if you know you will commit a sin (on purpose) that says you are not walking with God, and thus you don't believe (trust) in Him. Is there grace for repentance? Of course, never said there isn't. But at that moment people are not following and trusting Christ.
We should strive to attain that, and yes, we do make mistakes and there is forgiveness for that. But is there as well if you sin on purpose?
I'm far from legalistic, and I certainly do believe that we can be saved ONLY through grace... So please don't get personal about me if you don't know me. You assume things that aren't there.

Jesus it was never Yahweh's will to divorce forca harden heart.

[@mustardseedist]

God DID NOT give Moses the bill of divorcement. Nice twisting of scripture there. I suggest you read Matthew 19:8 KJV....Then read Genesis 2:24 KJV

Maybe don’t label someone a prodigal spouse. Isn’t that basically a curse and label.

[@barco777]

Its the truth right? Or shouldnt we call someone who steals a thief anymore? If you leave your marriage, you're being the prodigal spouse, since God doesn't want it that way, they 're leaving God and you. Otherwise they would have stayed and work it out. So yea, its maybe a label, but based on the truth. Thats all that matters.. The Truth!!

[@arthurroberts49]

A prodigal is someone who turns there back on God, A prodigal IS NOT someone that leaves a toxic and hurt full situation, The suggestion is that if you dont stay in abuse you are running or turning your back on God thats a lye I would have joined up if not for that.

[@barco777]

@@arthurroberts49 if thats your opinion, you don't fully understand the significance and meaning of a marriage..

[@sweedana]

Yeah it's a curse label that the prodigal put on themselves when they left the marriage the way they did. They left a covenant they made with God. It's that serious
