Partner addicted to p***

Q: 

What should I do? He is the father of my child. Some say I should leave because he has repeatedly done this.


A:

Nobody is perfect. Leaving is the easy way out. Fight for your marriage and don't give in to the devil and don't give his soul up to the devil. Pray and enter into warfare for your family, your marriage and your husband.


Q:

We are living together, made a covenant together but not legally married because we are still saving up for a wedding. So I can't fight for a marriage - others say there is no marriage to fight for because we are not legally married.


A:

A covenant before God still requires witnesses for accountability. If you've been saving for a marriage, I propose to use the little you have now and make the most with it. At the moment, it's better than no wedding, if you get what I mean. Plus, it still takes time to make arrangements - 6 months or so. Scale down on quantity, more on quality. Only invite people who matter, instead of pleasing the crowd that doesn't. Elope if you have to. But don't save on the spiritual aspect. It is not just a covenant between two people but three -- it is a covenant made with God so make God in the Center of it, not yourselves.


It seems you've made a covenant with this man privately and want to honour that. You have also set your heart on a wedding. I honor this decision of yours because he is the father of your child and what God has put together, let no man separate. Start off with a Christian engagement ceremony. That will get things going. 


An engagement is not a proposal. It is a promise to marry, and it is before God. It is a time to devote yourselves to spiritual preparation towards a marriage. During that time, get baptized and walk away from old sins and habits. It is a season for transformation as you prepare to die to self, being crucified on the altar on your wedding day, just as Christ gave His life for the church, the man ought to give his life for his wife.


In the Jewish culture, the man doesn't even see his fiance until the wedding day, and during that time, he is mentored by his father who will decide when he is ready to be married. You don't have to do that but I strongly suggest he is mentored spiritually by a pastor he respects who cares about him as a father to him. Understand the root source of sexual immorality and how it links to fatherlessness. If you can fix this issue, it can change everything. Also, break every generational curse -- his own father probably had the same issues with porn addiction and sexual immorality.


This cancel culture intends to delete spouses like they can be replaced easily. Well, this man can't be deleted -- if left alone, he will still be addicted to porn and find someone else to disappoint and hurt. It is going to be a never ending cycle of betrayal and defeat. What he needs is Jesus. This will bring about a spiritual transformation that will bring healing, not just to this man but this family, yes, this is now a family. You heard that right. If people want to disagree about this being a marriage, they are legally right and probably spiritually right but this is a family, and there is no doubt about that. If you can't fight for your marriage, you can at least fight for your family.


I bless you and your husband-to-be to get legally married. An issue of the heart can always be fixed. Addiction can always be defeated. There is always hope for repentance and restoration in Jesus, up to 70x7, which means infinitely. But a broken family is the root cause of more sins, more generational curses and future issues. Your child growing up fatherless is going to continue this cycle of sexual immorality. I say it ends here and it ends now.


Save this man, save this marriage and save this family.

There are three things you need to overcome:


1. The root of the issue: fatherlessness

- this addiction stems from a history of fatherlessness and he needs healing in this area

- perhaps spiritual fathers he looks up to, to mentor him


2. Addiction

- even with spiritual fathers in his life, he needs the Holy Spirit to overcome his addiction that has already taken root


3. Break Generational Curses

- his own father could have been sexually immoral

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

Baptism and sinless after

1. Jesus was baptized  2. Jesus’ disciples baptized 3. Jesus commissioned us to baptize 4. Ephesians 4:22 talks about putting off the old man.  This means leaving your past behind and you are not that person. Your dead body is buried and you are now alive because of Christ in you. So the devil cannot point his finger at you and condemn you for your past sins because that person is dead, and you are not that person. You are a new creation. If Christ is in you, Hebrews 6:4-6 says we cannot crucify again the son of God.  2 Peter 2: For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog re...

What is a calling?

My eldest came back into my room today after her nightime prayer. She was worried about her calling being totally different from what she has set her heart to be or do. Of course, I told her the usual -- "Don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself." I was tired and sleepy, and so was she. I just really needed her to go to her bed at this point and not get worked up about the future. And yes, it was good advice, especially if it's got her this worked up. I, for one, did not worry about my future. For some reason, I just seem to be really ambitious all the time. From wanting to start my own kindergarten at nine, to wanting to be a millionaire missionary at ten, to wanting to build a campus when I was thirteen, it just kept getting bigger and better, and always more or less on the same line. It was like I saw it coming. And yes, it may seem like different things to the naked eye, but it really was the same thing. We talked about the differences betwe...
