After praying in the spirit, God has shown me 5 Things That LIFE (and Satan) wants to do to our Husbands:
1. Drain his strength and make him weak spiritually.
2. Seduce him into unsafe places.
3. Work against God establishing Him financially, professional and spiritually.
4. Distract him from his First Love- communion with Christ through excessive busyness and doubt.
5. Play against his confidence and capabilities by highlighting his weakness.
All Lies of the enemy!!! And for EVERY LIE THERE IS A TRUTH BUT YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO ACCESS TRUTH!!
WHAT DO I DO?
When you sense that this is going on with your spouse, allot time DAILY to PRAY in the Spirit for him.
WHY AM I DOING IT?
26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers[l<rmony with God’s own will. Romans 8:26-27 NLT
**The reason I strongly suggest praying in the spirit for him is because a lot of times when we notice something wrong with our spouses it affects us in a way that makes us unproductive.
“Praying in the spirit helps filter what is going on without taking it personally but taking personal responsibility for what we see”.
In other words, if you do not spend ample time praying BEYOND your understanding then your emotions will get in the way and cause you to sabotage your husband’s season of stretching (growth) and neglect your place.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST WEAKNESSES OF A LOT OF WOMEN IS OUR EMOTIONS.
“Praying in the spirit allows us to receive the reality of God beyond our weak emotions”.
I have made this mistake so many times in my life and it has left my husband even more confused and worried about what’s going on with ME and the chaos in his own life. After praying in the spirit God MOVED MY EMOTIONS OUT OF THE WAY so that I could SEE what season my husband was in more clearly and how I could HELP him accomplish what God was working in him through LIFE’S experiences.
LADIES, my prayer today is that we forsake our emotions and fight to see the bigger picture through PRAYER!!
Have eyes that SEE and ears that HEAR GOD for him.
Sincerely walking this out with you!
Love,
Kimberly Allen
