Q)
Good Morning Pastor. I have been a member of the Worship Center for about 13yrs. I've been with my 4yr old daughters father for about 9 years, we've been through a lot. verbal and physical abuse, break ups and make ups. I read and watch the word in the mornings, I give thanks to God at night and in the mornings. I'm at the point in my life where I want to build my relationship with God stronger and closer. I have talked to my boyfriend about substaining from sex and growing closer to God, but he doesn't like this. I watched the word where they were speaking about lusting and I had him watch it but he wasn't interested and sorta got upset. I feel like he's being a block and I don't really want to be with him any more, but I will go through a bunch of drama just to get him to leave. I get disgusted when he touch and feel on me. He gets mad when I don't want to have sex, I tell him what it is that I want and that's to follow the word of God but he doesn't see it that way he begins to think that it's someone else. I could on and on but at this time I want to know what to do? I don't think we'll make it because he's not ready for what I want at this time of my life. Oh and the age difference may be the case, I'm 39 and he's 31. What should I do?

A)
Thank you for your question. The answer to "what should you do" is obey God. I assume from your letter that you and your boyfriend live together. Living together is not of God, it is a sin. To obey God in your situation with your boyfriend means that you both need to live in separate places.
If your relationship with your boyfriend is damaging your relationship with God, then you need to separate from him not only logistically but also relationally. Right now you have to excercise your trust in the Lord. Trusting is not easy, but it's the only way to bring peace and blessings to
your life and your daughter. As a believer, you do not want your daughter exposed to a lifestyle of sin that you are a part of.
I urge you to please obey and trust God to take care of you and your daughter His way. If you and your boyfriend are meant to be together, let it happen God's way, because
if it happens any other way you will suffer. If you would like more guidance, please contact our church office.

Q)
I visited your church this past Sunday and must say I really enjoyed it. The message had a lot to do with what I am going through right now. My husband walked out July 4th of this year with no explanation and since then I have been talking to and getting advice from lots of people because I would like to work things out. Well Sunday you said stop talking to others and cry out to God. Does this mean that I shouldnt discuss the situation with others at all? I am a little confused about what to do. I pray about it but dont know how to hear the answer so it makes me appear impatient. I would really love your advice. Thank you
|
A)
Thank you for your question. Seeking God or crying out to Him for direction is saying to God, "You have the final authority in my life". It means, after hearing their advice, I place it all before the Lord and say, "Now, Jesus, give me the way you would have me to follow". It may be from advice that I received, or it may be in a different direction that the Lord leads me in.
I would advise though, not to talk to too many people, where you receive so many different oppinions that it becomes totally confusing. Normally, three solid individuals are enough to talk to and receive from. Then take all opinions and advice to the Lord and say, "now Lord, You lead me". And, God knows how to let you know, which route to take.

Q)
hello Pastor McDaniel, i am a former member of your church in which i miss dearly. My question is...If my father lost his job and needs a place to live but has constantly been in and out of this situation for many years what should i do?,,,my brother is always picking up the pieces for my dad and nothing is changing in his life. my brother and dad both ingage in the same activities (smoking,drinking,parties, etc.)in which my husband has been totally delivered from. Im not trying to judge but we have 3 children and we are all in the house by a certain time and the alarm is on. I don't know if we ready to deal with someone elses habits. My husband and i have a larger home than my brother and he feels that we should take him in but my father has never asked "US". My husband is the head of our home and we make decisions together. i can't just tell him come stay with us without my husbands approval, and what makes this situation even more complicated for me is that my husband is a Minister and Police officer that is not very open about anyone coming to live with us anymore due to prior incidents. however i really want to help my dad but financially i cant and the only thing i have is my home. because of my fathers past he cant get a decent job and his credit is sooo jacked up that he cant get a place to live on his own. Im asking God and i'd like you to do the same to find out...What do i do?

Thank you for taking the time to send your question. My advise would be to sit down and discuss the situation which your husband. Share what you feel in your heart and allow your husband to share his opinion. After you both share, allow your husband to make a decision on what to do and trust God with his decition.
By doing this you will be following God's order. As hard as it may be, your dad may have to endure a difficult journey in order to come to himself and see a direction. Keep praying for him and trust God to work on your dad. Trusting God is something that we learn to do. It is not
something we accomplish overnight.
In the Bible, God got Jonah's attention by allowing him to be swallowed up by a great fish. In the belly of the fish Jonah repented and God gave him another chance. Your dad may have to have a "Jonah experience" to bring him to repentance.

Q)
Pastor what does a married man do when (even though he and his spouse might be having some emotional difficulties) his wife doesn't want to be intimate with him? (even though she still thinks he is a good man when it comes to making love) What does the Bible say about this? This is after 4 years of marriage.

A)
Sexual Relations/Emotional Relations in Marriage
As it pertains to marriage and sexual relationship in a marriage the following scripture came to mind: I Corinthians 7:1-5
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Now as it pertains to emotional challenges that lead to problems in our sexual relations, the emotional issues must be dealt with in order for both husband and wife to be on one accord. Marital Counseling is needed to address the specific issues that can bring oneness emotionally and sexually.

Q)
Pastor McDaniel. I was asked recently by my co-worker, "Where are the dead"? Or "What happen to the soul when you die"? Forgive me if this is an odd question but I did not know how to respond. I don't usually think about the dead after they have passed on. But is there a scripture I can point out?
|
A)
When a person dies, their body goes back to the ground or grave and their spirit/soul goes into the presence of the Lord or to hell.
Listed below are just a few scriptures that support this. There are quite a few others that I can send you if you need them.
Spirit/Soul Goes to Hell:
Acts 2:27 - Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Spirit/Soul Returns to the Lord:
2 Corinthians 5:8 - We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Body Returns to Ground:
Gen 3:19 - In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it you were taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return.
