He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance], so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse [of complete destruction].β Malachi 4:6
Hello precious brides, l want to tell you about something absolutely amazing that HE did ππΌ
About a week ago my eldest sister contacted me to let me know my brothers girlfriend is pregnant, but mainly to tell me the sad news that she contacted my sister because my brother was not acknowledging the baby or wanting to go with her for her doctors appointment. My heart was broken π₯ because we all know how wonderful and amazing and precious babies are, and a precious blessing β€
My sister and l understand my brother and why he may have been acting that way. This is my youngest brother out of 6 kids, he had a very rocky start in life and still very young when my parents divorced and he had a learning impediment. Also financially we struggled and did not have a stable place to stay. Emotionally we know he also needs healing from the Father ππΌ from a lot of the pain from the past which l know HE will do because He healed all mine. He probably had so many fears and also providing for this child.
I started speaking to Him about this and while l spoke to Him He brought to mind a couple of brides here in South Africa, that l reached out to pray. It felt like that scripture that says our fight is not against flesh and blood but against rulers and principalities
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in highΒ places.” Ephesians 6:12
And that the enemy would like nothing nore than this baby not be acknowleded by its father so He also brought to mind the scripture that says that HE will turn the hearts of the father to the children which one of the brides also shared that l felt was confirmation so each day l would pray for my brother and speak to Him about the scripture and my brother ππΌ
Then brides guess what? Yesterday l saw a missed call on my phone from this brother. We spoke and he told me that his girlfriend is pregnant BUT WHAT he said really amazed me. He said ‘but l did not take the news too well in the beginning but now l have come to accept it’ Praise Him ππΌ
I told him that l understand its not the best of circumstances them not being married…. and of course it must have been a shock its a huge adjustment but everything would be ok. Babies are blessing and bring so much joy π
What they need is a father to BE there and loads of love. He agreed with me and mentioned that his girlfriends brother had told him the same thing. Hallelujah!
We ended our conversation because he had arrived at the girlfriends brothers house but l was so happy for the mending of his relationship with her and her family and the unity HE brought about before the arrival of this precious little person π
Brides, l am beyond amazed l spoke to my sister and we could not get over just how GOOD HE is and how HE had answered our prayers ππΌ
He is faithful and true to His word. Please remember that He never answers us in the way or timing we expect. Some things take longer than others and its all a mystery. But He truly knows what is BEST for us. He deserves ALL our praise in the good and the bad because even when things look bad HE is still working it out ππΌ
oh how happy and wonderful!!! what a precious thing the Lord has done! He is so so good and knows how to bring light to every heart!!
reminds me of this verse I found yesterday Isaiah 35:10
[10] and those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Wow! I’m so happy to hear about your brother’s change of heart! I teared up with joy reading your praise! It’s still amazing to me how our Beloved works in our lives. He always knows what’s best for us. I can not wait to hear how much your brother is going to love this little guy or girl!! β€οΈ
