Dear Lady. Ann:
My name is Elizabeth. I am a single mother of two boys. My oldest son is 13 and my younger one is 5. They have different fathers. I’m married to my oldest son’s dad. We were (I thought) high school sweethearts. I told him I wouldn’t marry him unless he got saved. (I was raised United Pentecostal) So he got baptized. Though he was and is abusive. I ended up not being in church anymore. After we separated, I started a relationship with another man and we had my baby boy. He cheated on me though. I started taking drugs and eventually overdosed. I was about to go to hell but God allowed me to live. God dealt with me on the fact that I made a promise. It’s not about what my husband is doing, it’s about how I react. I haven’t been a good example to him of a true Christian woman. I’m not taking responsibility for his actions, only my own.
He now he has 5 kids with 5 different women. I have filed for divorce repeatedly through out the years but he has just now signed the paperwork. I can’t get the divorce finalized until I get my oldest son home. He got into some trouble this past November and I had him temporarily placed in foster care to get some help. I have vowed my life to God now. I am celibate and I don’t plan to remarry after the divorce. I don’t want to focus on my relationship with my estranged abusive husband. I focus on my relationship with God. But more than anything, I want my family saved. I want my husband saved regardless of where he is. I want my son to heal from the abuse we went through. I want to heal. I want to live for God and I want my sons to have a passion for God above all else.
So I would like to pray for Mr. Jarvis Singleton (my husband) and Jarvis Jr. (our son) and Jedi (my little one) that God would put His hand on them. That he would bring salvation by whatever means. God promised me I would have my family back. I will stand on His word. Having them back means, the devil can’t have them anymore. The devil can’t control them anymore. I want to pray that God puts a stop to every demonic spirit that has possession over my husband, and any attempt to take control of my son. I know this is a lot, but my heart is so heavy for them both. I believe God, no matter what anyone says. Thank you.
