Recognize Spiritual Warfare In Your Relationship

[tstrong]

The devil has always tried to attack my marriage over and over. Still together after 30 years but it does take work.

[fraisefille]

I feel the enemy is trying to attack my marriage because it’s hard when my husband is not a believer he’s still in the world and all I can do is pray. Thank you for your message. I trust in Jesus.

I totally totally relate to this… I didn’t realize that I was in a warfare until I got into this relationship and the enemy started to fight it. In my own case, I didn’t have issues with oppositions because I knew I heard God clearly so I went all in and was ready to kick against them but the enemy sent people to him and being a man who seemingly wants to be at peace always, the enemy sent all the oppositions to him. We fought that together and overcame but as I write this, the enemy has struck again. Started with bringing fear and anxiety in my heart and suddenly the fears manifested, now he is completely overwhelmed with so much that he asked for a break and all my spiritual leaders have told me is to fight throughout prayer. The enemy knows we are a force to reckon with so he has been coming to attack. He is on the vulnerable side now and I have to fight this one so that this break will not lead to the devil laughing. I will come and testify of this

I definitely go through this warfare at the moment but instead of arguing I get right into prayer because the enemy uses my husband against me at times and I recognize when he's being used I can see it exactly how it is and instead of arguing I step back because if i would argue things will escalate and then we both will end up being mad and that's what the devil wants to steal the joy. I pray for my husband always and hope that one day he could be close to the Lord like I am. I'm constantly telling him Scripture and talking to him about the Lord. At times he's okay to listen and at times he's not about it but I don't lose faith that he comes to the Lord surrender himself and join me as I'm close to the Lord.
I pray for all marriages especially if you are close to God because the devil will always try to put rocks in-between you both but don't let him win react and stay in prayer 🙏

This message is for everyone...let us not be easily offended but be willing to defend through prayer! Thank you for the message. Be blessed, Brother Marcus! 🔥💛

Wow, this happened to me yesterday with my husband. It was definitely spiritual warfare going on with doubt and arguments.

[alexiswaynep]

Brother Marcus....I hope this message reaches a lot of couples...Super on point. Its frustrating dealing with a carnel mate.

[mellissa]

I agree. My hats off to anyone who is called to be a pastor's wife. I would not want that for all the tea in China but I definitely pray for those who are called to it.

My boyfriend doesn't believe in God, but he believes that a divine spirit exists. Funnily enough, I lost my way when I was 13. I'm 26 now, and have been a Christian for about a year now. I found God through the mindset my bf put me through, making me question my own beliefs, and im overjoyed to say I love Christ again. I am working to repay the favor, and gently hoping to guide him to the truth. But if there is one thing I've learned, some people can't be led. They have to follow Jesus on their own accord. I was one of them. But I won't ever give up hope again!

This is true. The enemy has attacked my relationship with my future husband to use his family to make him believe I am easy and evil. Been praying for his spiritual blindness.

I'm so glad you made this video and brought this subject up. Our war is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. I finally started noticing the devil's patterns six or seven years ago, when I stopped being a 1 hour a week Christian, and realized I needed to be a 24/7 Christian. The devil uses smoke and mirrors, and is constantly trying to stack the deck in his favor. When you finally see it, you start noticing it everywhere.

One day, I became sick and was hit with a terrible migraine. Also, several other small things were happening that day, from all sides to make me impatient and cranky. My husband had a bad day as well, then ran into terrible traffic, road rage, etc. on the way home. So as soon as he walked in the door, and I asked a simple question, he had immediate attitude with me. However, this day, unlike all of the previous ones, I saw the devil's handiwork. He manipulates your surroundings; puts people in your path that will try to get a reaction. You might get a bad headache, or sudden anxiety. He stacks the deck. He does the same thing to your partner. He puts thoughts in your head then like, " How dare so and so say that to me! Who does he think he is". In short, he will make as many things go wrong as possible, and then put thoughts in your head to put you in a certain frame of mind. It's a divide and conquer strategy.

On this day though, I saw it for what it was. He got us both irritated and impatient, and if we had not really been paying attention, we would've ended in a severe argument. Instead however, I said " I see your hand and what you are trying to do, and I'm not falling for it". Right after my husband and I realized this, we decided we were no longer going to fall for this strategy, and it has cut out about 95% of our arguments. Now that my husband pray together, and discuss the devil's strategies, we have kept our marriage strong. Now when a bunch of things are all going wrong simultaneously, or I find myself getting cranky for no reason, instead of fighting with my husband, I tell him " I think I'm under attack. I'm feeling angry and impatient, and we say a quick prayer together". Then the devil cuts it out. Just like with Jesus in the desert, once the devil knew he couldn't win, he left for a more auspicious time. WhenI see my husband get angry or over react, I say "Let's pray together" and then we ask God to block the devil from any interference.

Especially in these times, we have to constantly be aware of Satan's strategies, and not allow him to manipulate us like puppets, or to get us in arguments with people, which is what he wants.

I really needed a word today. I needed this reminder for my marriage. I just can't seem to get time alone with God. So, thank you.

[roneldaguzman]

Wow I just got this right after I argued with my husband and after 16 years together and 10 years married I today decided to brake it off. Is crazy I just received this message. I am a practicing Christian and I been attacked in every way possible someone can imagine and I have not stop seeking God or gave my back to him regardless of all the oppression but today I’m done with my husband and I will be picking up his clothes in a few minutes. My husband is catholic and I parted ways with our church once God called me two years ago and no one in my family is a non catholic so the things I have to put up with and all the humiliation has not made me loose faith in God. Honestly I can’t keep letting those that supposed to love me keep hurting me this way and today I say no more. I rather be alone then loose my salvation. Pray for me.

Awareness & understanding is key - cost me everything - lost it all, everything finally came crashing down one day with one final blow (marriage, ministry, Church Family, Natural Family, Finances, My beautiful Home - all through this, stripped completely bare). The more we helped minister to people, especially couples, marriages & families, the more direct hits we took. Of course, hindsight is 20/20. Back then wasn't fully aware & understanding how to respond to those devices being assailed against me/us. Still recovering from the terrible fallout - long lonely very challenging road but God is faithful. It's going on 7 years later and I'm still dealing with the impact & how it ended then changed everything & nearly completely wiped out me and my entire family. My survival has come from a deeper place of trusting & loving God even all the more!

[lashantamiller]
