My wife and I made the agreement to turn off all news, social media, and any outside consumption of COVID info for 2 weeks and possibly indefinitely. In some way, it is sad that because of this, I won't be lurking GAW--I'm not much of a poster but felt included via the lurking and upvoting over the past 9 months. I'm confident that this is the right decision.
I would appreciate your prayers for me and my marriage. My wife literally thinks I am insane, deluded to follow after Satan and the thought of divorce is crossing her mind. She has admitted to thinking of me in contempt and that our marriage is dead. I believe God lifted the veil over my eyes briefly and I saw a glimpse of His work and plan. I am convinced with every bone in my body that COVID and these mandates have the spirit of antichrist/satan behind them. My wife is pro-mandates, pro-vax, trusts gov't, pro-mask our 5 year old. I guess you can see we're at opposite ends.
Please pray for me and my marriage. Pray for me to truly have discernment and wisdom from God. I truly want to know if COVID and these mandates DO NOT have the spirit of antichrist/satan behind them. I want to know where I am wrong in any of my beliefs that are causing contention. Please also pray that if there are any evil spiritual forces acting upon me, my wife, my son and my marriage--that they be totally subdued in Jesus' name. I really want God to show me a sign that what I have awakened to is true and I really want my wife to be with me.
We're doing all we can.. counselling, pastors, marriage course, agreements in communication. I want this movie to end, but I also know.. letting it play out will be even GREATER!
I'll probably read comments to this post one last time tonight and afterwards lurk https://communities.win/c/Christianity/
Bye frens for now. See you later or in glory! Hope it's not long. From Canada.
Hello brother...my heart and prayers go out to you and yours for sure. I agree that unplugging from all media is probably a good idea. I've considered doing this myself...
In reality, however, even unplugging (or trying to on your part) will NEVER stop your liberal infected wife from asserting her authoritarian ways upon you and your child. So unfortunate.
My advice is do whatever it takes to keep your marriage intact. Try not to discuss any of what's going on in the world and avoid any crossing of her ego whatsoever if you can help it. Ego is always at the core of any rub between two individuals.
If your wife is to be red pilled, she will most likely have to come to that reality on her own...completely apart from you. She knows what you believe and everything you have said to her has sunk deep within her subconscious mind. She can do nothing about this even if she tried. Our subconscious is like a compact disk that cannot be erased. Once it's there, it's there. Now it's up to God the Holy Spirit to work on her mind and heart with the information you have given her and information she will inevitably learn in days to come. You are not wrong...and you are on the right side of history my friend.
My 27 year old niece Chelsey was a raving, San Francisco State indoctrinated liberal of the highest degree. We have always had a great relationship because of the mutual respect between us, but she was always the family member who would disagree with any and all my political and social beliefs. We had many discussions and they almost always ended with we had to agree to disagree.
Well, not long ago, she called me on the phone (it was in the middle of the first Covid shutdown) crying, with more anger in her voice that I had ever heard from her before! As it turned out, our governor Gavin Newsom had taken away from her the one thing in this world she couldn't live without...her gym. She's an avid weight lifter and in one fell swoop she could no longer go. Long story short, Chelsey is now my biggest fan and I am not exaggerating when I say that she's more awake to reality than most life-long conservative patriots I know. She dove deep down the rabbit hole and her whole world was upended. People can change...your wife can change my friend. Be patient, keep it together and pray, pray, pray!
