Prayers,please-This has gone too far............

[warthog]

Remember that woman I told y'all about at church with 4 kids,and we're attracted to each other??Well,here's what I DIDN'T tell y'all:She is MARRIED-And I'm so ashamed Ive been pursuing a married woman.I could say it's cause of my own marriage ending,shes not happy,but I wont-I'm a normal man,and crave the closeness,and being held by,a woman.To make it worse,I'm a member of Church Council,and every thing I do will reflect badly on my Church-and WE MUST keep the Lord's house CLEAN.SO-I want and need accountability partners-man or woman-to make sure I end this nonsense-either if she calls me,or this coming Sunday;when I see her.We haven't done anything-YET,other than the act Ive kissed her-Still,in my book,that's WAY TOO FAR to go with a married woman.Im going to tell her"We can be friends,but THAT'S IT-You are another man's wife,and I WILL NOT let this go on- NOW,,OR EVER"......If I DO NOT tell her this,Ive got a good feeling of what will happen-and its NOT good.SO:Hold me to it,partners-I will let y'all know when I tell her.ACCOUNTABILITY,PLEASE-ASK ME"did ya tell her???"-and if not,WHY NOT?????????????":veryangry:

You are accountable, Steve, in what you do in this situation with this married woman and the truth is you are still married until the divorce is final, so follow Jesus and the path God's plan is leading you on to serve Him and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth! If you truly want to hear advice, I will say have nothing to do with this woman, until you are strong enough to resist her, as you are very weak in your body and mind now, because of your wife deserting and leaving you! It is very painful and I know how your heart is hurting and how you need someone to care and be loving to you, but 'tis Jesus Who you need to draw closer to right now and not have the temptation of a woman, especially a married one, as you can easily be led being on the rebound! Keep your mind upon Jesus and pray for strength to endure and the power to overcome all temptations, or otherwise you will be led down the wrong way to more trials and sorrows! As you say even kissing is not right until you both are free and the Lord is in it to help you have success in dating and/or marrying this woman or any other, when you both are free to do so in the world and most of all in God's sight! Do not yield to this temptation for it will only lead you down the wrong path to more sin and sorrow! My prayers are with you, Steve, and May God Bless you with strength through scriptures to help you to overcome and do what He has in His plans for you! Amen! Ma Betty

Steve you talk about this woman and situation like you are NOT a married man. You are just as much a married man as she is a married woman. Just because you are separated from your wife for a few weeks does NOT make you a single man. You are totally MARRIED in the eyes of God and by the laws of the land. And even if you had filed for divorce and it was final and you were single RIGHT Here and NOW, you are in no position whatsoever in your life to be pursuing another relationship. You have so many things in your life that you need to be working on instead of thinking about a relationship with a woman. If you pursue that right now, you are just sitting yourself up for major FAILURE in your life again. Is that what you want or need right now????? Another instance of failure>??????? I know you won't like this but you seriously need to seek some professional counseling for your life and forget about entering another relationship. That is the last thing you need in your life. Your present marriage is where it is today for many many more reasons that the few you have shared with us. A marriage doesn't just fall apart for the couple of reasons you have shared with us. I realize I don't know you but I do care and you need to get a hold of God and put him and his will for your life FIRST and foremost in your life.

God will not put you in a situation that you can't handle. In this case flee from the situation.
You are both still married. We will hold you accountable as you have asked and continue to lift you in prayer.

1. I will NOT hold you accountable..... It is not my job......
2. Pray the the Lord guides you, Yes it is his to help both of you.
3. He will not put you in a situation that is beyond you.
We are human ans we do all crave companionship.....We are not meant to be rocks...

I'm new here; maybe two weeks. I was born again in 1990. We are no match for any temptation that comes our way without the aid of the Spirit. Joseph wasn't indwelt with the Holy Spirit, but his heart was right with God. He RAN from Mrs. Potiphar. Run warthog and don't linger. ><>

Good post Steve and keep up the good thinking and remember your wife and her lawyer will use anything they can to make you look bad in court.....so be godly wise and PRAY for wisdom to get you through the surgery and divorce court proceedings as He helps you endure and overcome all things!
