  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

I really need help; worst time of my life :*(

I really don't know where to begin, there has been so much. I apologize for the length, I just don't have anyone to talk to and I really feel alone all day.

I was married, to a minister for 2.5 years; he had two children from a previous marriage, I had one, and we eventually had one together, a boy.

Everything was great until a year and a half later when this woman came into our lives, who was married with 2 kids of her own; her and my husband immediately clicked; he started begging her to quit her church and come to ours; she eventually did and even started singing next to him at church. The flirting began. It was very hurtful and led to rumors of affair.

Eventually, this woman left her husband; this is when my husband started treating me like I didn't exist. For three months this went on until he completely lost it and falsely accused me of cheating. He acted like a complete lunatic. He told me that he "suspected" for months. I was so hurt and humiliated. We only had one car and when I wasn't with him, I was at home with the kids while cleaning, cooking, and taking care of our infant son.

After the second day, he eventually said that "God" talks to him and led him to believe this, that I had cheated. My husband even lied and said that he had proof, pictures and whatnot. He even tried to make me think that I "black out and take off with guys." I kept asking him, "How do you have pictures of something I didn't do?" Four days later he kicked me out of our home, with both my sons, one being his own. I had nowhere to go so I had no choice but to stay in this filthy abandoned house next door. I lived there with my kids as a squatter for four months. He occasionally dropped in to accuse me of even more non-existent cheating. He eventually started complaining about having to buy me and my boys groceries; he said I had to get a job. I had no car, no place to live; the car we had was in my name and he had it. Every time I had to go somewhere, I had to walk to town with my kids; a few miles there and back. He eventually gave me divorce papers two weeks later.

He said he was sending the papers to where we got married-Las Vegas- and that the "beauty" part of it was that we would be divorced in a week. I couldn't believe what was happening. I didn't see any of this coming. I didn't want a divorce, I loved my husband and I kept praying hard every day that God would show him that I didn't cheat.

It wasn't long before people I knew were saying that they were seeing my husband on dates with the woman from church. I refused to believe it. Just a few months later, two days after my birthday, I received the worst text message of my life. It was from my husband and it said, "Hey, I got hitched; I wanted you to hear it from me before anyone else." This just made everything that much worse. If this wasn't enough. He called me up a month after that and claimed he wasn't the father of our son. He said he took a home DNA test and got negative results. No matter how much I begged him that it wasn't accurate, he said the test was 100 percent accurate and that I was lying. He hasn't seen our son since he turned 2; he will be 3 next month and has forgotten about his father. If this wasn't enough, he told me that he would take another test if I paid for it; after saving, I finally paid for one to be done; he refused to take it. He said that "God" had shown him who the "real father" of our son was; a man who just died of cancer that he was visiting until he died.

He kicked me out on Aug. 29, 2014; it has now been a year and a few months of pure hell. So much damage in so little time. Because he left me with two kids and no job, I'm stuck on government assistance. I'm broke all the time until I finish school and can get something. Because I'm on government assistance, it is mandatory to seize child support from the father. I filed in October; before then, I hadn't heard from my ex-husband since July. When he found out, he was furious, and started e-mailing me saying that he was going to seek full custody so that our son can visit his "real father's" family. With all the commotion about child support, I'm trying to get a court ordered DNA test done, but they won't do it because we were married. I currently just found out that we are still legally married; that you're supposed to file divorce in the state you live in, which would be California; so my minister husband has TWO wives.

I need prayer badly. I've been praying since the day this has happened and it has all gotten worse. It has affected my sleep, my appetite; I'm horribly depressed. I feel that he took a huge piece of me with him. And he has done nothing but be cruel and inconsiderate. My stress is through the roof. I never thought in a million years that that man could do these things to me. It's just me and my two kids now; I have no one. I got out of the abandoned house in January of this year, but I am stuck living with my uncle and his girlfriend. Their house is so gross that me and my kids only live in two rooms to stay out of theirs. This has been the biggest nightmare of my life. I'm about to give up hope and I feel like I'm going insane. I started e-mailing a man by the name of 'Prophet Kingsley Christian'; everything he said was so inspiring and I believed him that it would all get better, but then he said it would only happen if I sent him $700 so he can have his 'prayer warriors' pray for me. I'm lost. I don't know why God let this happen to me; I don't know why He hasn't done anything. Does he hear me? Is he allowing me to suffer for past sins? The short time I was with my husband was the happiest I ever was in my life, and now I'm miserable again; worse off than before I met my husband. I'm hurt and humiliated. I don't feel I'll ever recover emotionally or psychologically from this. My husband told all of his church members that I "had an affair" so they would stop questioning his fidelity as to why he dropped me out of nowhere and ended up with his rumored affair. His words when referring to all of this is, "Isn't funny how God always brings things to light?" I'm so confused. I don't know if we were under bad spiritual attack or if it was all an act to get rid of me so he could be with her, I just don't know.

Pls pray for me that God brings me justice; that I get that paternity test granted to me; and that I find a job quickly after I graduate school with my B.S. I have 3 more semesters left.

I apologize for the length. Believe it or not, there's a lot more, I just didn't want to go on any longer.

Thank you all for listening...

Oh I'm so sorry. If I could hug you, I would. Praying for your vindication, restoration and recompense from God.

I can't believe this man has the nerve to pastor a church and act like this. You don't need a paternity test. YOU and God know who the father is. I'm sure your ex does, too. He only accused you of cheating because HE was cheating.

You stay in college! You can do it! You made it this far, and you are nearly finished. I'm proud of you, that must have been immensely difficult under the circumstances.

Andream, there are folk who live vowed lives before God and his church where they commit to praying for the needs of the world of the hurting people within it. *Hi, I am one of them*
Anyone who asks for money for prayer is scamming you.
Our God harkens to the broken hearted, the widowed, the orphans and the dispossessed who have no power and does not ask for money to do so.

Can I suggest you make contact with the forum Chaplains that we have on CF. They should be able to get you in contact with a Christian fellowship near where you are who love Christ to the point it shows in how they love and treat each other. They may also be able to put you in contact with the releavent Charities who may be able to offer legal advice and support. I only know the UK ones.

Nothing you have posted about your husband convinces he is a man of God and to be honest I suspect the only thing he may love is himself and his own selfish wants.

Well done for perserving wth your education is such difficult and truly heartbreaking circumstances. May God bless you and keep you safe, may God bless you with people who love Christ who show that love in the integrity of their lives to support you. May God give you peace.

Holding you and your children in prayer.

:heart: Praying, dear heart, for your protection, for your provision, that God strengthens and sustains you, and that He brings justice in all of this, and thwarts the plans of the enemy. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen (((hug)))

"Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God." ~Isaiah 54:4-6

Praying for you. Thank you for remaining in the faith; please continue. Why do bad things happen to people who try to follow God? I do not know. However, I personally am quite confident that this is not punishment for past sins, so please let that go. There are people who have lived blatantly ungodly lives who have prospered in this world, while even some true followers of Christ are tortured for their faith or die in immense, and perhaps because of, immense poverty. I am just praying this life's circumstances do improve for you, and that, regardless, you can find peace and strength in God.

O dear Lord, it grieves me to read this. I feel as though I am in her shoes. This appears to be the worst story of betrayal that I have ever seen. It angers me how he used your name in vain to get what he wanted and lied, especially since he is a reverend. Please avenge my sister in Christ. Please move mightily to give her justice. No more lies, please no more lies! What a cruel experience she has faced! Please bring to light things in her favor, by shining a light to expose the sins of her husband. Please move mightily on her behalf and turn this around to accomplish Your purposes. I ask of You in Jesus mighty name I pray, Amen.

My first prayer is that you get a darned good lawyer asap. Maybe through legal aid. He abandoned you and his child. That will help in terms of child support. I also pray you will not be intimidated by him, in fact perhaps you should consider a restraining order since he is being at least very mentally abusive. In court a DNA test can be ordered I would assume.

I would also approach those who are in his Church to see if they can get him to act like he is what he is supposed to be, a Christian.

Praying for all to turn out well.

P.S. Prophet, so called, Kingsley sounds like he is in the same group as your husband, namely the group of wolves in sheep's clothing. You can get prayer here for free any time you want! Many people, including me, leave multiple posts as time goes by. You can also PM me if you want personal prayer. I would be happy to pray for you and the children any time. For free of course!
