Would God promise me a new husband in a dream while I was still married to my current husband who is cheating? Should I just forgive him and forget the money or fight for what is mine?

PAT ROBERTSON: We got
to take some questions.
TERRY MEEUWSEN: Let's Bring
It On with some email--
PAT ROBERTSON: Let's do it.
TERRY MEEUWSEN: --questions.
OK, this is from
a viewer who says,
"My husband is cheating on me.
I had a dream that God
gave me a new husband.
He had blonde hair, blue
eyes, and was very handsome."
PAT ROBERTSON: [LAUGHS]
TERRY MEEUWSEN:
"Would God promise
me a new husband in a
dream while I was still
married to my current
husband who is cheating?"
PAT ROBERTSON: I
think dreams are
an expression of our desire.
And your subconscious
mind is breaking out
while you're asleep,
so I wouldn't
say that that dream
necessarily came from God,
but maybe it did.
But if your husband
is cheating on you,
he's broken the marriage.
And Jesus-- That's a reason
for divorce, according to-- He
says infidelity.
And so your marriage bond,
technically, is broken.
And so the idea of
having another husband
is not contrary to the Bible.
So I don't know.
I don't know if God
gave you a dream or not,
but all I know is
that you have a desire
to have somebody who really
loves you and is faithful
to you.
All right.
TERRY MEEUWSEN: OK,
this is a viewer
who says, "My mother
remarried when I was a child.
There were times he was
great but other times he
was really awful.
My mother passed away and now
he wants all of her money.
Before my mother
died, she told me
that if she ever died and
it seemed suspicious,"
[INCREDULOUS LAUGHTER]
"assume it was
my stepfather who killed her."
My word.
"Now that he's being so forceful
about the money situation,
I wonder.
Should I just forgive
him and forget the money
or fight for what is mine?"
PAT ROBERTSON: Actually that
money belonged to your mother
and your mother
wants you to have it.
Surely she left a will.
TERRY MEEUWSEN: I don't know.
PAT ROBERTSON: Well
if she didn't--
TERRY MEEUWSEN: I'd assume so.
I mean.
PAT ROBERTSON: There's--
TERRY MEEUWSEN: If you
have to fight over it.
PAT ROBERTSON:
--right of a, they
call it courtesy for a husband.
Gets a certain piece
of a wife's estate
and a wife gets the widow's
dowry kind of thing.
I'm sure that just from
the interstate laws
you, as the heir, are
entitled to a certain portion
of the estate.
So by all means, fight.
Why would that man take
all your mother's money?
TERRY MEEUWSEN: Well,
she married him, though,
when this person, the viewer
writing, was just a child.
So that's been her husband
for many, many years.
PAT ROBERTSON: Yeah,
well, even so, the child
deserves a part of the
estate from her mother.
And it's entitled to it.
So not a big fight.
Just get a lawyer and
when you go into probate,
it's your money.
All right.
We leave you today's Power
Minute from Psalm 50--
what is it?
TERRY MEEUWSEN: 55:22.
PAT ROBERTSON: 55.
All right. "Cast your
cares on the Lord
and He will sustain
you; He will never
let the righteous be shaken."
