♕ Today's Promise: "And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.” Matthew 28:20
Hello Dear Brides, I want to thank my Beloved Heavenly Husband for everything that He did, is doing and will do in my life, for the Love, the friendship all the grace and mercy, for never leaving me or forsaking me, for all His patience, thank you my Love, apart from you I can do nothing!!
Brides I have some things to share that happened during these last weeks, the first one is a praise to Him the love of my life, because He was able to do the impossible regarding my documentation in my Home Country and now everything is legalized, and I never thought that I would be saying it by I am finally divorced!! LOL. If you have read any of my past PR (Praise Reports) you will remember all the trials that I went through because of the different systems for the country where I currently live and my home country. He did it all, and now I can just wait with expectancy for the next things to come, and while I was waiting for that and the closer I got for the new things that’s when the attacks started.
The first test came, and again nothing wrong with me and everything is normal Praise The Lord!! But then the enemy came again, it was when I discovered that I am being tested for tumors in my body!!! Ladies I confess that I lost the rest of strength that I had. The fear took hold of me and the voice of the enemy and his lies were louder than the truth of my Beloved Lord!! I confess that it was very hard to concentrate and bring my thoughts captive, I felt defeated, as my life was finished.
I am thankful for my church Restore Ministries International, and for His Brides that are praying for my life when it is difficult for me to pray!! It was later in the night that I could not continue to walk as I was dead. He brought to my mind Philippians 4:6 “Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ.
So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always. Follow the example of all that we have imparted to you and the God of peace will be with you in all things.” TPT
I read it over and over again, when I finally laid it down at His feet, and gave it all for Him!!! All my worries, fears, despair, I believe that He can heal me, I know that He can, I belong to Him and if He is for me, who can be against me? I believe that He was waiting for me to bring it to Him, whatever I have, He knows, I can’t do anything, but He can, and I choose to think about Him not myself or my worries. After giving it to Him, I immediately could feel a difference, His peace!! I laid down and slept, because He was with me. I found the peace that transcends human understanding.
Brides, I am still waiting for the results of the second test, but I will wait on Him, whatever He does or allow is for my good and for His glory, I can now find the peace that I needed, the peace is not the absence of the problem, but the certainty that He is with me during it and that He walks with me through the Valley of Shadow, and He will be with me always until the end of this age.
Since the beginning of my Journey, one of my dreams was to have the book Restore Your Marriage translated into Turkish, and not just that, but also have a Turkish Ministry, things that when I came to the Ministry, in my eyes it was impossible, but in His eyes it was DONE! But with faith, without seeing anything, we continue to move and to walk, and now we are so close to having the book not just translated but also published.
A couple of weeks ago, after following through His direction for the Turkish Ministry and my life I was attacked by the enemy who wants to stop the work of God in this country. The opposition came to take away my health and bring me to fear and despair, so my eyes would be away from HIM.
I was sitting at home, working when out of nowhere I felt dizziness, weakness in my body and could feel that something was not normal. I noticed that it was my blood pressure that was very high, as my family unfortunately suffers from this disease, I often need to be checked up. The interesting thing is that I believe that He was alerting me that this would happen, because two weeks prior to the attack, He brought to my mind that I need to make an appointment at the cardiologist. I thought that it was odd, because I was feeling good, but it was so strong that I decided to obey and made the appointment. The attack came a day before my appointment. Then I could understand why He made me schedule it.
On the day that my blood pressure was high, I was so afraid, I could not understand that this was an attack!! Ladies, it is very important to be close to Him during all situations, and be prepared for the attack that will come. The next day I went to the doctor, and was telling him what I was feeling. He immediately measured my blood pressure and noticed that it was not normal from someone of my age. I had an ultrasound of my heart, and I saw that he was looking puzzled to it, not because he found something, but because everything was normal!!! That should be my clue that it was not physical but spiritual!!
He couldn’t understand the motive of my high blood pressure, he asked for tests so the cause for it could be found, he never explained why he was asking those tests or what he thought was wrong with me, but I did the tests required. During the waiting time for the results, the Lord began to gather what I believe are the members for the Turkish Ministry. At the same time I was going through all this, Nehir, the Minister for the Turkish, was feeling so depressed, suffering so much despair, but she also could not understand why. Then I shared my situation and that when I finally understood that it was a Spiritual war to stop the wall from being rebuilt. In the same week, I was able to learn about people that are desperate for help, Turkish men and women, who were very excited to hear about the Ministry.
And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.” Matthew 28:20
