Holidays... A Standers prospective. Many often wonder does this Stand get any easier as time goes on?

I have had this heavy on my heart these past few days. Many Standers often wonder if this walk & stand gets any easier. I'm sure that simply depends on the deep agape love in which each person is standing for their own mates deliverance(s). There are never any shortcuts in life so why should this phase in our walks be any different? It does get harder waiting month after month and year after year. We are to look to Jesus for our help in times of need. We are never suppose to put our Cov. Mates in the position of an idol or light where Christ ought to be first place. No matter if your mate is with you or seperated from you in this hour they are walking in darkness until they return in a Godly sorrow and complete repentance. Its simply our faithfulness being walked out daily with Him. He wants your mate back on track more than you do. You may even see your mate doing things attending church in this hour. Yet you see no change in their heart towards you or your children. Many Standers question this. They ask why or how can they go to church and yet not yet be changed. How come they keep playing house? Don't they know that they are walking in a fire zone with the enemy? That same enemy that led them astray and in most cases into permanant adultery with the other (or countless others). How can they not see truth set before them? Proverbs 5 in any version of the Bible speaks that of the same and where they will spend eternity. It leads to an early grave. Many ask why do they have to suffer as these prodical mates take their kids for weeks introducing another person as a new replacement. Beloved there is never ever a replacement for the real parent. In most cases these mates are seekings love in all the wrong places (just like the song). They have involved many different people in their life. Ones that they will have to explain that they made a mistake when they return. Or simply never see again because the Lord will speak to them to run and escape the plot of the enemy. God always gives them a way of escape! Trust Him to bring about the needed changes in you first and then them. Your heart needs healing and your faith is being exersized in this latter hour. It is only a test of you being in the fire. Does this walk get easier? Yes in some ways it does. When you first begin Standing and you don't even know what that means you might even find yourself on the floor in a ball feeling so broken and hopeless. You may cry and cry for times that go on forever. I confess that I did just that. The Lord will have you pray for other 1st marriages just like yours because He wants the generation sin cycle broken off your side or their side (sometimes both sides of the family). He wishes for His church the bride to be without spot nor wrinkle standing for rightousness. I can tell you that I along with countless standers have Christmas or other holidays that are harder in some years than others. Some of these wayward mates are involved with people who walk in the complete agreement with ungodly council even IF they are in a church. We are living in dark days where we are called to be the light. We are not better than they are we still have sin. Yet may be called to a higher level in our maturity in our walk. What I am trying to say here is like being under the influence your mate along with the other people they are with (even if they are calling them family now) are all under the influence of not only the world but the enemy himself. People may not yet see the circumstances of their poor choices which many times include injury or even premature death. They think that they are on the right path yet feel uneasy knowing that they need to be home with their Real wife and kids. Does it get easier....sometimes yes. If you are looking to the Lord instead of man being perfect it takes the weight (and wait off). Even IF they are taking photos of each other and YOUR kids and flaunting a so called perfect life...know its a lie of smoke and mirrors. Its just a matter of time and salvation. It takes just one of these wayward people to see the light again and send them off packing. Just like you were broken God will and can break them. Only the when they are walking humble before the Lord can they be used effectively for His Kingdom. So if you are hurting just remember that God hears the prayers of the righteous and in His perfect timing they will be answered. He collects every tear you have cried. Please know that our Prayer team is PRAYING & fasting for you daily. Next year will be different and I pray that God finds you faithful to His calling as well as stronger with heals dug in deeper. Its not your battle its always been HIS!! Only the Lord Jesus Christ will get the GLORY for your restoration to come.. May the next holiday which is quick on our heals find you praising Him instead of crying. His return is one day closer and I pray that your focus is on what you can do serving the Lord instead of an inward focus of perhaps self pity on yourself. He works on us all one day at a time. You are born with a purpose and a calling. Do you accept Jesus as your everything? Or do you simply clock out on holidays worried about why God hasn't done what He has promised and fall into the pit of disparity? He will deliver us all! Amen So get up and rejoice!! Take that bed and walk. You have power in that walk! Sharpen those tools in your spiritual toolbox and then let God do the fighting. There is power in His name!!! No more weakness so quit nursing those wounds. You are set free and delivered in this hour. Your mate will see your bright light. Keep standing trusting and believing its all coming to pass the way the Lord has promised in his Word. Holidays are just another day to God. We should be living like givers everyday as well as celebrating His soon return. Where is your focus? Is it on man made material possessions or eternal treasures that shall never fade away. Better yet are you teaching your children how to battle or just cry whine and give up? They need you to be that spiritual guiding light and example of agape love forgiveness and unconditional love just like Christ. We rejoice along with you as you travail giving birth to this new life in Christ. He is able! Happy and holy holidays!! Be set apart and don't celebrate as this fallen world does. Transform your mind and get into His Word. God less you with truth and freedom this holiday season and new year ahead. It does get easier. I can speak that being a veteran seasoned Stander. This may hit you but they don't stick as much. Why because he's made me stronger and I have faith like a bulldog that will never give up on my marriage or family. I know that the Lord delivers and sets people free. He's no respect or of persons and if He dud it once before He shall do it again! Its not about me...its always been about Him. Stand strong again and look UP! Focus on Him and NOT on the storms around you. I hope you'll choose to dance instead of mourn! Take off those grave clothes. Be set apart and shine like the star you are!! He's got you and your family concerns in the palm if His mighty hand. Put those other people including your mate back on the mercy seat. I hope this helped. Your walk more than likely is normal. If you are new to this Stand please message me by email @ sharon.n@live.com or if you need extra prayers or scriptures.
