I agree totally, and maybe that is what this is about for them. God demands that we forgive others before he can forgive us, so perhaps this is a way for them to finally resolve all those old issues.

They can be reconciled without marriage. My mistake duh! However what I said I still mean. I believe that God still wants to bring them "together" in some fashion. Apparently after ten years the bad blood is not over and it could be. What we do in the past can stay with us a long time, even years later, without some form of reconciliation. People can have amicable divorces. I hope for them that this may be the case.

Well, Primo says he and his former wife have been divorced for ten years, so reconciliation doesn't sound relevant here.
I have recently been faced with some results and consequences of sins committed long ago. This allowed me to really face up to the past and to confess those sins and to repent and ask forgiveness and to really look inside and see how I needed to change. Perhaps you can take this time to reflect on yourself and the past and see if there is any remaining unrepented sin from that situation.
I think mainly though that you can rely on the Lord to help you through this. Remember to love your ex-wife in the way Christ instructed us to love everyone, to not be vindictive, and to pray that the Lord's will be done in this. I don't know if she is a Christian, but if she is not, perhaps your handling this in a Godly manner will help her to see the Truth.
Also remember that Jesus said we cannot serve both mannon and Him, so if you need to let go of some of your material wealth to make someone else happy, perhaps that is what God wishes you to do. (I am not implying you have this problem, merely reminding you a lesson I have learned lately, that money is fleeting and meaningless).
I will keep you in my prayers in this and hope you can find a Christian attorney, and hoping even more that you two can resolve this without the courts.

Father God, I come to you in the name of your son Jesus. I lift brother Primo to you. Open the eyes of his understanding that he might know what you would have him to know about the trial hs is going through right now. I acknowledge your lovingkindness and mercy for Primo in this hour of his need and praise you for your willingness to pour them out on him.
I ask that you keep him from looking to Satan as the source of his problems. But rather that you would help him to seek for look for truth in all of his circumstances right now. I ask the same for his wife Lord. I do not know what to ask for specifically but that your redeeming power work between the two of them. That your wisdom will manifiest itself is surprising ways for them. Please send those who would counsel them in non condemning ways Lord. And because it is what is always in season for us to do Lord, I pray for Primo to repent. May your words come to his mind in all hours of the day, even as he sleeps at night.
May Primo and his wife seek your wisdom.
Amen

If I've done anything to deserve this....then so be it.
This is a very interesting comment. If you acutally have done something to deserve this then perhaps it is not Satan attacking. Maybe what is happening is simply the result of your own actions. And the actions of your wife.
Most of the time it takes two to make or break a marriage. Now is the time to reflect upon what the two of you have done and how it will affect you for the rest of you life. This is an angry time for most people. Divorce is ugly for both of you. Each of thinks the other is trying to steal from the other.
It is too easy to blame the devil right now. Consider your own free will first. Have you both really tried to make this marriage work? Have yo gone to counseling? Are you willing to admit to your faults without saying "Well she did.....".
If this marriage must end then the best thing that can happen to you is that you would go to the Lord to ask Him to reveal what He would have yo to know about yourself. Ultimately it is the only thing you can effect. Your wife has her own road to travel.

We have learned through many years of happiness, sadness, joy, pain, loss, triumph, trust, betrayal, and much more - That God absolutely is in control of our lives and our destiny. All we have to do is let go and let God!
The Lord has a perfect plan for your lives.
With the Lords AWESOME help, we have begun to understand the true foundation of family - And while we are always learning, we have come to understand how very important it is to raise children up in the way they should go. We know that when we put God first in our lives, and we teach our children this, that they WILL become mighty men and women of God.
Many of us today have been through divorce, separation, loss, and upset caused by these. Society today dictates and teaches us that if we aren't happy with our spouse, we can just go find a new one! And while we're at it - ( remember we don't need to worry about how it affects the kids or anyone else, just do it society says!) find two or three, and maybe even explore that "Alternative Lifestyle" we have been thinking about.
Well, we are here to tell you that amidst all the evil that is in the world today, there is hope! There is love, happiness, and much joy to be had. God wants each of us to know his love is everlasting and freely given - His grace and mercy is far beyond what we can comprehend or imagine.
He wants us to know that if we will allow him to work in our lives, we can come through anything, and come through triumphantly!
My wife and I have been together ten years now. Prior to our marriage, we had both been divorced twice. I brought two wonderful children from two different marriages, she brought three beautiful children from two more. With our marriage to each other, that makes SIX "I Do's " and FIVE divorces!
Please know I am in no way condoning divorce nor do we speak of it as an appropriate avenue – We believe strongly in the marriage union and in reconciliation as Gods BEST path for you. We just want you also to know that we have “been there, done that” and through it all have triumphed over the enemy and his MANY attempts in MANY ways to bring us, our family, and our marriage down.
God has blessed us with and placed us in charge of six wonderful boys, all of which are becoming strong in the Lord. We have asked each of them to contribute to construction of our ministry and our web site so be sure to check back often as it is going to be growing, Praise God!
Remember, our children are a fantastic blessing from God - a powerful, precious gift that we must be ever so careful to be sure we do the very best we can to help them be all they can be and all that God has planned for them to become.
And, if you were counting, we only mentioned five children and I stated we had six. That is correct. We also have been blessed with and are raising a half brother of one of my two son's - that makes six.
So, consider this - We have six boys, and my wife and I. That is eight. Then, we have the father of two of my wife's boys, and the father of her third boy. We are up to ten. Then we have the mother of my youngest son, and his half brother, along with the mother of my oldest boy and his step-dad. Now we are up to thirteen. My youngest son and his half brother have another, younger brother, and my oldest also has another younger brother. Now we are up to fifteen!
While I could go on, you can see that our "Blended Family" is somewhat large, and the most amazing thing about it is this - We ALL GET ALONG! We are friends, we help each other out, and we as believers stand in the gap for unsaved members outside our immediate home and believe for their salvation. We can and do Praise God that we do not have the worries and upset associated with supervised visits and restraining orders, we do not have the custody battles and all of the things that the enemy ( AKA The DEVIL ) will use to come against you and your family. Through the grace of God we have come through many of these issues and Jesus has shown himself mighty, and made our family strong in the Lord.
The bible says that the demons TREMBLE when we even whisper the name of Jesus, so you can imagine just how strong a family founded on the word of God is! That doesn't just make them tremble, it CRUSHES the Devil and his buddies like a bug!
While it has not always been easy, we now know that God was bringing us to this place - To this ministry so that we may share with you that it is possible - That God IS THERE - That Jesus IS ALIVE AND WELL.
So, no matter what your circumstance, no matter what your walk in life, or walk in the Lord, no matter what challenges you are facing, and while we praise God for all the triumphs you have, just know that God has a plan and a purpose for you and yours!
Divorce, step kids, ex husbands and ex wives, step-dads, step-moms, step-brothers and step-sisters, uncles and aunts, on and on, everyone IS A CHILD of God with a purpose in this world and in Gods kingdom! God forgives our sins and our past, and makes our crooked places straight. He places our feet on his best path, and wants us to simply trust him and never doubt that he is in complete control - If we will do that, he will show us the way - AMEN!
Wishing all of you Gods VERY BEST - We love and pray for you and your family - We know that God has great things in store for you and if you haven't already, we know that you will soon be enjoying the BEST of God in the REST of God - AMEN Again!!
In God's Love,
Jim & Linda

I know that all of us here on the BBS don't always agree on everything. We have our differences on things.....whether it be the timing of the rapture, eternal security...etc...
But one thing I do know we have in common is the power of prayer.
I am being suppressed by satan in a very bad way.
I am about to be taken to court (again) by my ex-wife of 10 years ago because of her selfishness
and greed for what little money that I do make.
I am about to embark on a legal battle here and I am asking all of you who may read this to lift this brother up in prayer.
I know full well that God is in control and that ultimately....He will have His way in this matter.
If I've done anything to deserve this....then so be it.
"Vengence is mine" says the Lord....so much easier to say than to act on.
I thank you all in advance for your prayers.....and also pray that I can find a good lawyer with at least some integrity. (No offense to you lawyers out there....I know not all of you are crooked)
