My wife moved out of our home over 8 months ago and God has
been working on our marriage ever since. My wife has told me
that is still thinking about coming back to our marriage.
earlier today she expressed that she would be open to us
going on a vacation together next year. The most promising
words were that she would like us to buy a larger car next
year for our pets and future children. But she is still very
depressed because of a miscarriage we had last year and is
afraid that she cannot have children and doubts herself as a
good wife. Please pray that the lord continues to break down
the obstacles that are holding her from returning to our
family. Please join me in praying for God to continue to
working the heart and mind of my wife. I also ask for prayer
for the marriages of my friends and prayer partners Kaidee,
Kurt, Ani, and Amanda. I pray that their spouses and drawn
closer to the lord and brought back to their spouses.

Amy let me talk to the children, and she has left the other
man.

I just wanted to come to your website to not only say THANK
YOU but, help encourage others in the area of your ministry
of healing broken families.  I came to your site about 2+
years ago and I sent a prayer request for reconciliation of
my marriage.  At that time my husband and I had been
separated for almost a year.

Many from your staff and others in the chatroom became my
prayer partners for some months and it seemed like everytime
I visited your site, something positive would happen with my
marriage shortly after.  I then KNEW and still KNOW your
ministry is truly annointed with the power of God and those
that come here will be blessed!

Well, I must admit after surpassing 1 1/2 years separation
and then ending up in court, I lost my faith and allowed the
enemy to discourage me.  I was so hurt, felt so alone and
even thought for a moment that God let my marriage
crumble...HOW SILLY!!!

Well, to make a looooooooong story short.  I write to you a
year after my divorce was final and am so blessed to
announce our reengagement and plans to remarry this year!!

So with that, I just wanted to encourage people to really
'lean not to thine own understanding' and do not put a time
limit on GOD...He knows when is the right time for your
healing and it may be longer then you think you can bare
but, press a little further and continue to surround
yourself with Godly counsel like this ministry!  Lastly I
wanted to add...dont give up when things 'seem'
irreconcilable.  If God was able to bring two lives back
together after a horrible divorce...He can fix it all for
you too!!

Stay prayerful Brothers and Sisters

How Long (part II)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Everyone who submits a prayer request to M.H.I. receives
material from us that includes a message entitled 'How Long.'
Today as I studied and meditated on His Word, He caused me
to see it from HIS perspective.  The former message is a
message from our (man's) perspective.

Pro 4:20-22 says this:
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my
sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in
the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that
find them, and health to all their flesh.

The word 'attend' comes from the Hebrew qashab {kaw-shab'}
which means to hear, be attentive, heed, incline (of ears),
attend (of ears), hearken, pay attention, listen.  Inherent
in that meaning is the consequent follow-up which is the
DOING. 

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is
like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For
he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into
the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being
not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man
shall be blessed in his deed. James 1:23-25

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be
pure, and whether it be right. Pro 20:11

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to
give every man according as his work shall be. Re 22:12

His reward mentioned here is dues paid for work, reward:
used of the fruit naturally resulting from toils and
endeavours in both senses, rewards and pun1shments of the
rewards which God bestows, or will bestow, upon good deeds
and endeavours, of pun1shments.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2Co 5:10

Yahweh was not pleased with Moses over this very thing; And
Yahweh said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my laws? Exo 16:28  This was in reference
to those who called themselves His people yet they ignored
His teachings (Torah) and chose rather to do what was right
in their own eyes.  They profaned His Sabbath by toiling on
the Sabbath.  Now we know, that the Sabbath is not the day
that most believe or practice (in some for or another) but
they, like the former people, do what is right in THEIR own
eyes.  This is why Yahweh says over and over...
"How long..."

And Yahweh said unto Moses, How long will this people
provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for
all the signs which I have shewed among them? Num 14:11

Do you think that the Father is pleased with people who
take His Name in vain?  Those who say they are His but their
works, their FRUIT, they doings are not consistent with that
profession or with His teachings?  His heart is yearning for
those who NOT ONLY believe or profess a belief but who are
ALSO as ZEALOUS for good works.

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous
of good works. Tit 2:14  You see, He made it plain in His
Word that faith WITHOUT works IS DEAD.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Psa 4:2
(Leasing is falsehood)

Even the Messiah said; "O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?"
Mat 17:17

While He was observing the Sabbath and teaching He was
asked; "Lord, are there few that be saved?" And he said unto
them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say
unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When
once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to
the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the
door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer
and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall
ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence,
and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I
tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all
ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you
yourselves thrust out. 	Luk 13:23-28

I was impressed by His Spirit regarding my own weariness. I
was wondering why He called me to do such a work.  He showed
me that throughout time, He has had to deal with such
apathy, such selfishness, such idolatry and all manner of
tiresome sin which, IF NOT PURGED, like leaven will leaven
the whole lump.  As we approach the Passover and the feast
of unleavened bread, it is a good time to "examine yourself
to see if ye be in the faith" 2Co 13:5  The feast of
unleavened bread is a time to get ALL the leaven out.  More
on Passover and this feast to come shortly.

Our prayer is that you will join us in casting off religion,
tradition, denominations and every form of leaven in our
lives, whether it be unforgiveness, bitterness, covetousness
or any other kind of sin(s) because the Master is soon
coming and He has warned us that those who count themselves
secure and safe while their lives do not bear the fruit that
MUST accompany such a salvation... will be in for the
greatest horror of all time.  Wherefore let him that
thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1Co 10:12

Do not put your trust in your religion, your denomination,
your church attendance or any other thing but let your faith
be rooted and grounded upon YOUR OWN diligent study and
prayer and asking for the understanding and teaching which
comes by the Holy Spirit.  There are soooooo many who are
smug in their self-righteous faith whose lives bear no real
fruit.  Don't be one of them... to your own loss and horror.

Grace and peace from Yahweh, our Father
