MY SPOUSE IS SPIRITUALLY SICK!

Precious Ones, A common question that we are asked is: Why is my spouse doing this? We could go into a big theological debate over this but that's not our style! We want to share with you a "simple" answer that we have shared. Be encouraged!

(This is written pertaining to a marriage in which both are believers but one is in a backslidden state.)

You have to remember that your spouse is "spiritually sick". They ain't gonna make much sense!!! That's why you are not to go by what they say, but by what God says! Right now, under the influence of Satan, your spouse will lie and not even really know it! And there's no use in getting "mad" at them or you will be falling right into the enemy’s plan!

Picture this scene: A strongman has your spouse held captive, bound in a building being held hostage. You make it into the building and find your spouse, only to then start yelling at them and telling them to quit acting like this and to get home! This sounds ridiculous, right? It would do us no good to yell at our spouse or to be upset with them, due to the situation that they are in. But this is exactly what we do when we do not see through the eyes of God’s Holy Spirit! No, you would look past your spouse into the eyes of the enemy and take authority over him to loose your spouse, in Jesus Name! You would even be overcome with Holy Ghost anger at the strongman to fight for your spouse’s freedom. That's the situation your spouse is in and you're the only one that will pray and war enough to see them set free! But do you see how we fall for the strategies of Satan so easily? When we walk by what we see and hear and not by the Word of God we fail! We fall! We quit! We even blame God!

Hope this helps to explain a little of why he/she is saying and doing what he/she is. Love, Les & Cindy
