Just want to praise God that the night after Tony spent the night at his sisters, he came home earlier than expected the next day & was himself! Soft hearted, kind, patient, loving etc..!! He even let me serve him & slept in our bed!! He told me bye before work!! Then he came home right after work yesterday, & again was softened!! He let me read from the Bible- somthing I believe the Lord made a appointment for- & I believe the scripture even gave him some freedom; as he is covered in guilt & Shane from disobeying God. He thinks he's out of Gods grace because of his deliberate disobedience. The scripture was Jesus saying that if someone rejects him & his teachings, He doesn't judge them! I said that I was going to write that one down & that it will really help in certain times & he said "I told you to write it down" I said, "no u didn't..." He said, "oh, I guess I just thought it then.." I said, "I think that was the Holy Spirit speaking to you!" He just smiled.. Praise God! We watched a movie together & connected a whole lot! Again he slept in our bed instead of the couch.. This is all after him completely with drawing almost 100%. Not speaking to me, staying gone & only coming back to sleep on the couch, staying the night elsewhere for the first time since he's been home, being depressed & hateful, etc.. God is definatly on the move! I have to stay the course & stay focused tho! I'm just praising God that Tony is walking into freedom in Jesus name!!

Thanks everyone!! I'm just so happy for him! I hate seeing him so lost all the time. I myself know what it's like to feel lost & distant from God... It's terrible.. Sharon, I know!! It's amazing yet sad that the Lord pursues him so diligently yet he didn't even realize that was Him speaking to him.. Shortly after that powerful moment, the enemy began attacking him with stress of our son, his favorite shoes that got ruined.. I told satans to flee & claimed Christ blood over Tony. He has no more power or dominion in my life or Tony's because I love Jesus & Jesus is alive! By God alone satan fled last night as he will continue to flee & keep his devices to himself, in the powerful name of Jesus!

Let me warn that if your faith in this prayer is not firm, when satan attacks you back, it will be very hard to withstand. If your faith isn't bold enough to pray this confidently, ask the Lord to strengthen your faith for a while until you feel ready. These arnt just words; these are powerful weapons aginst the enemy. You have to be strong enough in the Lord, in your faith, in your trust, to hold up your shield of faith before you can take up the sword of the word!

I was in a deep valley & was finally brought to a place of heart change; yet again. Again but all the more feeling sorrowful for my husbands hurt inside apart from God, & for my Lord whom I & Tony both disregard, even tho He is Holy & Pure... My heart broke & I cried so hard for so long that night.. It was the night Tony got into a wreck. Just a hour or so before he wrecked God brought me to this heart change.. Every since then ny eyes are opened! All this time I was praying for Tony's eyes to be opened out of my hurt, when I should've been praying for my eyes.. Praise be to God that my faith has never been stronger.. It's only increasing, & for His purposes!
