I'm Married and am finishing Course 2 and I want first start by Praising the Lord. I am writing this praise report because we need to encourage other women. And I want to share the mistakes that lead me here. I am in a very difficult situation, today I listened to the enemies lies and fell into his trap.
For 4 months and 3 weeks, I am doing well in this journey, doing the courses, reading the books, tithing, and being under the protection of the Lord. I live with my husband but he was distant from me and was not talking with me. Though I started to focus on my relationship with the Lord. But I still couldn´t let go of my EH. Well, this morning after I wake up, I let the enemy use me to ask my EH why he was not talking with me. Brides I already knew the answer, and by asking, I was unfaithful to my First Love, I was an adulterous woman.
But still, I listened to the enemy´s voice. Well, ladies, I listened to only his lies. My EH opened his mouth and told me that he didn´t love me anymore and that he wanted the divorce. Well, my world just finished there.
Still, I let the enemy use me to question my husband if there was OW. He said that he wanted only to be alone and live his life. When I was listening to this I was so desperate. We have had 5 years together, we don´t have children. I put my hand into what God was doing, and look what happened.
After he left I started to cry and at the time I wanted to call my father so that he could pray with me, but the Lord wanted my prayer, for me to talk to Him. I was so loud when I was praying. I was asking for help. I was asking Him to talk to me when I open my Bible, I asked for forgiveness for going against Him, for not waiting for Him.
Ladies If you like me are living with the EH, and he is not talking with you, don´t get anxious like I did, don´t question him, or anything, continue to be quiet, apply the principles that you learned. It was the Lord that took him away from you and me so that He could have our attention.
Trust the Lord and take Him as your Husband. Have faith, don´t run to others, but run to Him, to His arms. Don´t think foolish things, don´t be anxious about tomorrow. Trust The Lord. Do what He is saying to you. Don´t be afraid.
After reading the verses that He showed me, I had a quiet time with Him. I only could hear "Have faith and trust Me." He brought to my mind about the prodigal son. That I need to let my EH go.
Then during our quiet time, I asked what He wanted me to do, and in my heart, I could feel, that I need to encourage another woman. Someone who is now in a similar situation. So please share this with someone.
Don´t believe in the lies, and in what you are seeing, because “… faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1, you can´t see, but you need to believe. Give everything to the Lord, focus only on doing what is good, in following His word, He knows what He is doing. His will is perfect.
When I talk to the Lord that my EH said he wants the divorce and that he wants to be alone, the Lord reminded me that “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” (Proverbs 19:21), and “The LORD Almighty has sworn, 'Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.'” Isaiah 14:24.
And of course that “In the LORD’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.” Proverbs 21:1.
Dear Sisters, if He said, He will do something, don´t look to your situation, have faith that He can change everything. Focus only on loving Him, with all your heart, learn more about our HH, share the little faith that you think you have. Run to Him only. Maybe it was not what you want to read today. But soon you will be reading my restoration testimony. And also you will be writing yours. Don´t be afraid, He is with you.
"And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.” Mark 14:36
All things are possible for the Lord, He knows what you need to go through. Trust Him only.
"I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:4"
When you run to Him, you will be saved, and protected from everything.
"But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well.” Luke 8:50
The girl was dead, but Jesus said that she would be made well. Is your marriage in this situation? Look what Our Beloved said ONLY BELIEVE.
"yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." Romans 4:20-22
Look how Abraham believed, how he had faith. And God in the right time delivered what He promised.

Remember, Matthew 7:13-14 tells us to “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.”
And Psalm 100:4 tells us HOW to Enter— “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.”
Be sure to submit a Praise Report today and enter through that narrow gate few ever find!
