Good day,

It's been some time since I posted here, but I beleive in the power of prayer and I know that there is prayer warriors here that are awsome. So I beg of you to please pray for me and my girl friend Crystal. She was once married and had a child, and now her ex is comming back and she is confused and don't know what to do.

Please pray for God to lead her to the correct choice between me and him.

There is much more to the story but it is long and drawn out. But this is the jist to it.

Please help.

Bro. MentorsRiddle.

Thanks in advance. this is truly important to me.

Nice to see you back MentorsRiddle. Certainly will prayer for guidance in this confusing time in the lives of you and your girlfriend.

Mentor's Riddle:

Is this the same girlfriend that you were in love with and who had a problem with drinking and infidelity and then wanted to get back together?

Is this the same girlfriend that you were praying a few months back that your relationship would get better?

Is this girlfriend a Christian?

Brother: I fear that you are unequally yoked. I fear that the relationship perhaps is not supposed to get better.

I am going to pray. But what I am going to pray is that the HOLY Spirit would speak to YOU that you would know the will of God for your life and do it.

The will of God is never that a believer would get himself unequally yoked in an intimate relationship with an unbeliever.

Maybe she is a believer who is carnal, I dont know, but I do know that if we insist on having things our way, God will sometimes allow us to have just that long enough for us to reap the consequences of that, so that it will lead us to repent of our wanting our own will and submit to HIS.

The permissive will of God is not a thing you want. You want the perfect will of God that when things dont look so good in the world, you can rest and trust that it was the perfect will of God that you sought and that HE is in control and will work it out for your good.

I know I am being somewhat presumptuous and I do not know as of this posting all the answers to my questions above, so if I am wrong and this is a new girlfriend then forgive me please, but I feel this real sense of ... the hair on the back of my neck standing up with this and I am concerned for you. Maybe you need to be the one walking in another direction?

I will pray that God will lead YOU in HIS perfect will and that you will walk in it when HE does in spite of what your flesh might want.

Love in Christ,
Linda

Hey there.

Thank you for your prayers.

No this is not the same girl. I have figured out that unequally yoked people never work out... the hard way...

This one is a beleiver in God.

You are so right Linda, I do want the perfect will of God. That is why I need your prayers because I want God to do his will in this relationship and not mine. If she and I are ment to be together by the will of God then I am happy, if not... well then I need to learn the lessons that he intended for me to learn in this relationship.

I am just so afraid that if they get to get together again that he will start being mean to her again. because he is unequally yoked to her...

Thank you all so much

I love all of you.

Praise God! I am so relieved to hear that this is a different girl. I certainly will pray that she not be drawn into an unequally yoked situation. Does she have a pastor?

This scripture tells me that God would not will her to return to this relationship, for God has provided that she could be free of it:

1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

Yes she does. Actually it is funny, her past. refused to marry them because of that reason. So they went somewhere else. But I am just hopeing that she is not hurt any further through this ordeal.

You are all so awsome to pray me she and I. Thanks for all your support.
