My parts no longer answer or obey cues.
This is good news!
And as you know, my husband is one of my handlers. We do not reside together, but he is here on occasion. (Ugh.) He is a believer, but is not deprogrammed. The Lord will only take what we are willing to submit to Him in truth.
And...God's word cannot be broken. 1 Peter 3:5 talks about husbands, that if they don't obey the word, they can, without the word, be won by the conduct/behavior/lifestyle of the wife. I'm not saying to obey ungodly commands. I'm saying to obey God's command as per his word and then watch the fireworks get delivered to your husband.
He is punished and I cannot go back to protect him. He has to choose freedom for himself.
Yes. But again, you possess the superior weapon i.e. prayer, strengthened through obedience to the Superior God.
...grabbed my arm and said,"We need to walk!" He pulled me...
...might explain some of the recent injuries?
my/our former pastor was here around that time
Yeah, you had mentioned the pastor previously. I gotta watch my temper because this abuse of position hits close to home for me.
Originals or doubles/clones, either way, it's a fait accompli (a done deal).
I'm off on foot to visit a new client who has been streamlined into a mental health protocol via criminal misdiagnosis. Might be out for a few days; it's up to The Boss!
Hugs!
