TEXTShalom...

I am so thrilled to find this forum. I have been a Christian since 1982. Somewhere around 1994, I began to have this hunger and drawing to the Jewish people/Israel, so strong in fact, that it began to consume me in almost every thought. To make a very long story, shorter... I was led to a Messianic Jewish family who began to teach my family and myself the things that should be. Discovering the truths of Hashem and the way we should live. We began to live our lives as close as we could to His ways. Shabbot, etc.. feasts.
Then about two years ago, I discovered that my father's mother was Jewish. Oh my... I was so happy and everything began to make sense.
Well, my husband and I divorced almost three years ago, after 23 years of marraige. And, out of weakness I married again... I love my husband, though he did not believe it is neseccary and since the resurrection of Messiah.. the 'Messianic' ways.. Shabbot, feast are not applicable, necessary.. you see he is a pastor. So now for a little over 1 1/2 years, my girls and I have not fellowshipped nor celebrated feasts or have done the Sabbath... we have had bible studies with my husband on Sunday mornings.. but I don't even pursue going to church on Sundays.
My husband has told me that I could begin to go back to where I was before we met... because I have been expressing to him that my heart is .. and I miss it, he said fine, but that we would be unequally yoked... and he would just have to live with it. The home we live in, was his.. before I came and I do not feel its right to do Shabbot, etc... when he doesn't agree.
My family says I should leave him because it is dangerous 'spiritually' in this situation.. and it is my fault.
Does anybody have any wisdom.. advise they could share...
Peace and love

Welcome and Shalom Terryann78!

I will be praying for your situation. I have seen it many times.

It is so hard when the wife comes to an understanding of based faith in Yeshua the Messiah. Although because of the knowledge you have, you must be faithful to G-d’s commands…you also must try to honor your husband in every way possible. Although, a husband’s commands do not over-ride G-d’s...do not pester your husband, or make him feel inferior in regards to what he understands. In everything that you communicate to your husband about our Heavenly Father’s …communicate it in humbleness, and meekness. I would not recommend leaving your Husband. Instead I would refer you to the wisdom of a very wise Jew…<br>
“In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don't obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear. Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of G-d very precious. For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in G-d, also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands” - 1Kefa (Peter) 1-5

May you be blessed as you apply this wisdom,

Reuel
