Praying ladies.

OK.  I'm asking for some serious prayer for a young lady named Amy.  She has been married 4 1/2 years and has a 21 month old son.  She is in the battle of her life - a battle for her life.

The short version:

Amy was molested by family members as a child.  It was then that The Monster gained his foothold.  She is firmly in the enemy's clutches, but part of her still wants out.  Her husband is a godly man who loves her and wants her back (she left - and is in a very bad situation where she is being abused... but doesn't know how to 'get out'.) BUT he doesn't really have a clue about standing in spiritual authority over his wife; he doesn't know about headship. 

Anyway, I was able to talk with Amy last night and, surprisingly, she opened up and shared a LOT!  Basically, she is what I would consider borderline D.I.D (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and she needs deliverance.  DH and I don't believe deliverance can come, UNLESS she takes the first step by actually WANTING it.  I do believe that part of her yearns for freedom, but I also believe that The Monster is trying to obtain full control over her. 

So, please pray that she would be set free.  Pray that she would want to be set free.  Please pray that her husband will hang in there and gain an understanding of headship and stand in the gap for her, spiritually.  Please pray that we will have wisdom.

Thanks!

Esposita-- Im praying for her and the situation. I know of a few people who are as you discribe your friend and they too were sexually abused. So often sexual abuse, expeically when it comes from a family member, can greatly damage and mess one up. Thankfully there is hope for them tho just as there is hope for us all. But sadly the walls of defense, hurt, bitterness, anger, abdonment, crushed self esteem and so on are very thick for many sexual abuse survivers. And like you said this makes a big giant open door for the enemy to come in and and reek even more havoc. I dont know the answers other then to pray and fast for people like that and then to be paient and let God take over because it will take time.

 Praying from here.

  I think this prayer request thread is a better one for this

   The funeral is tomorrow. I didn't know the family. A lot of my friends did and will be traveling today and tomorrow. Pray for safety and healing for those left behind. It is expected over 1,000 will attend this funeral. Lots of travelers.

We are having major problems in our family. Our 'kids' are teen & adult (the 2 adults still live at home due to finances, etc) & all 3 of them have 'jumped ship'. All 3 of them are passive/aggressive to what we want/rules/work that needs to be done, etc.  They all understand that everyone has to pull their fair share, etc but that doesn't mean they actually do the work.

We have made lots of mistakes with them & it's breaking our hearts. DH's long hrs (72-100 hrs a week for the last 4 years) & my chronic health problems hasn't helped any. DH hates the hrs but it's what the job required & he's always done whatever it takes to support his family. He got the job 4 years ago after 6 month of unemployment so it was a huge blessing at the time. Problem is, when you work hrs like that it's REALLY hard to find another job & with his age (50) most employers want someone younger. Doing whatever it takes to support the family is DH's way of showing love & everyone in the family knows that in their 'heads' but in the day to day 'heart' attitude it tends to feel like abandonment.

DD is the one that has us scared. Every since she turned 18 she's been putting herself into situations that can be downright dangerous. She's very much a daddy's girl, always has been & her love language is QUALITY TIME. DH's hrs has caused her to feel abandoned & she's angry about it. She's hurting so she's trying to keep up a tough wall & she's acting out but it's obvious that her heart is really with the family if we can just get through to her before she really gets hurt.

We're trying SO hard to turn things around. DH has cut his hrs by half & we're trying to work it out to be self employed. DH & I are praying that we can succeed with it & that it's not to late with the family.

DH & I know that we are under spiritual attack we're in a battle for our family's hearts & souls. DH is new to all this though so he's in 'spiritual boot camp' & the stakes are high. Please pray as you are led. Love in Christ ~herbalmom

Update- DH is now working 1/3 what he used to- usually 2 days a week only although sometimes he goes in when they need extra help.  We're working on self employment together as a family but it's been rough going. Major illness, money troubles, etc & the troubles with the teens/young adults is still on-going. We do see glimmers of improvement but we've still got a LONG way to go. Please continue to cover us in intercessory prayer.
