I to was addicted for many years,and allthough i may not have been a satanist, i surely was not seeking god. Today god is in my life i been clean for seven years, and i have been born again. So now that i’m seven years old in both the lord and recovery i see things quite differently.Things do not always happen on our time the best advice i could give this woman and her spouse is patience, treatment, prayer, counselling, faith, grace, and hope. Be sure you have people in prayer for both of you.Methadone can become both addictive and intoxicating so the taper program is important

Honey Satan sits in the front rows of the churches. They all claim the Bible as their authority, but they do not follow it. You have already decided it is us against them. You envision your boyfriend being a Christian – and after the world he can become one in Satan’s kingdom. Just don’t you actually fall in love with God and work to please God rather than your husband to be, nor should you come under conviction of obeying God and His commands as written in His word. Because the Christian world thinks themselves free from obedience through faith – in reality – it is faith that leads us to be obedient.

Let me give you some sound advice – when this man loves Jesus so much he wants to obey God in radical points of faith that put him at seeming odds to the general common christian beliefs then let this be a sign from God. He will accept the Seventh day Sabbath Saturday and keep it holy according to God’s command as our sign that it is God that redeems us from our sin and not we ourselves.

Go with your instincts, that is how God talks to us whether we are Christian or not. Remember he is always there with us we just have to acknowledge his presence. About 4 years ago I was atheist & my then girlfriend now wife was Christian. We have been married 2 years and together for over 13 years. Your ex may very well be lead to Christ through you. As you know the man is the God head of a family, once he devotes his life to God things will get a whole lot better for both of you. Who knows, salvation comes through ones conscience not the outward manifestation we see coiographed in public deminstrations, he may already be saved. Who cares about what the world thinks, they don’t really know what God has in store for you. I too am bipolar. Don’t get down thinking about what isn’t going as you want. Look back on your life and see what all you have made it through. We bipolar people sometimes think we go through more than others do. Really we do, but mostly because we refuse to push through difficult situations. We tend to clam up and quit until someone pushes us to the point we get so mad we either fall back further or push on. Hide behind the cross and believe what Christ has told us. He will never give us a burden we cannot handle. When we clam up we might as well call him a lier. To worry is to believe that Christ isn’t going to see us through the bad times. You do what your heart tells you and His will will be done.

Certainly if you feel like things are not going to work, you have created a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe there will be problems, I guarantee you will find more than your share.

As a Christian, I’m sure you’re familiar with the disdain the church has for marraige outside of Christianity. 2 Corinthians 6:14 advises the church members not to be “unequally yoked” with unbelievers, which is generally interpreted as “do not become emotionally involved with non-Christians, because they will effect your Christian walk.” The people you associate with have a strong emotional impact on you, especially when it comes to marraige.

As for a past of Satanism, I’ll remind you of when the bible said “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, all old things have passed away, behold, all things are made new.” If he is serious about wanting to pursue Christianity, then merely the act of coming to Christ invalidates anything in his past. On the other hand, I am concerned where you said “everyone says I will go down further”, because it sounds like there might be character issues you both might need to work on. I doubt he’s your ex for no reason.

As for your fear, I’ll remind you of two other scriptures. “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and of a sound mind.” and “If any man lack wisdom, let him ask.” If you are feeling afraid and uncertain, uneasy, this is not the work of the spirit of God. To find his discernment, all you need to do is pray earnestly for his guidance in this matter.

Finally, if he is continuing to use drugs, or continues to have character issues that would hinder your relationship, I would advise you wait.

uhhh… if you don’t believe in having relations outside of christianity, then you’re shutting out a lot of sweet people. I understand the marriage part, but I don’t see why you can’t still talk to him.

Look…if you aren’t functioning well and if you are experiencing acute anxiety and/or fear…then please consult your therapist at once. There is a very good chance that your medications need to be readjusted or perhaps even changed. You can be stabilized. You can have a good life…but first, you need to take good care of you. Please schedule an appointment with your therapist.

As for all the absurd religious melodrama, sure, in part, it’s a function of the primitive thinking at work in all the religious folks around you. But, it also sounds as though you too may be operating with a belief system that leads more into delusional thinking than into healthy living. If your religion is making you crazy, then perhaps you should consider ditching it.

Finally, as to your exhusband, I don’t know how you and he will ever be happy until you’re together, living as far away as possible from all the people who are presently interfering in your life.

Good luck. You don’t need anointing or any other primitive ceremony. You just need to think clearly about what you want, plan carefully, and then do what you have to to get the life you want.
