♕Today's Promise: “Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!” P6620
Eloise, how did your Restoration Journey actually begin?
My restoration began as the potter, when the clay pot in his hand was spoiled, Jeremiah 18:4. I thought that the Lord was not listening to me, it was at the moment that I believed that I was being faithful to him as a religion, but I realized that I was failing my Heavenly Husband, but I remember perfectly one day when I prayed to my God to show me if my Douglas was cheating on me, because I always suspected it, he had changed a lot with me, he stopped visiting the Church for two years (I thought it was because of the move), I did not claim him because he did not show suspicions, but he had been in a relationship for two years with the other woman and in that relationship, a girl was born.
One day I entered my bedroom and at that moment a message from the other woman entered his cell phone, that's when I discovered everything because she was a co-worker who was always his friend and I was surprised that she wrote because he no longer talked to me about her. When I looked at his message it was that I felt, like the potter and the clay, I am the clay that felt the pain that is experienced when it is spoiled. From there I realized that God was with me when I heard that prayer where he showed me the whole truth. With tears and pain I thanked God for what was happening to me, the Holy Spirit consoled me, I felt for the second time, how my Heavenly Husband was there at that moment, it was a unique experience.
My Douglas never wanted to leave the house, he told me that if he left it was to never come back, he never wanted to be with her, but he didn't apologize at that time either. I think it was very hard for me to feel pain and anger knowing that I had him at home. I didn't believe anything. But we came to an agreement that we would visit a church.
How did God change your situation, Eloise, as you sought Him wholeheartedly?
As the weeks passed, we went to a church but we did not reconcile with the Lord, and I saw a testimony of marriage restoration, the case was that she committed adultery, at that moment the Holy Spirit showed me a verse E3:7 time of shut up and time to talk. My loved ones at that moment He reminded me of all the past mistakes that I committed and that I was silent for years, it was time to speak, I judged my husband, and God taught me that I should have spoken with my earthly husband; In the year we were married I committed adultery, falling to my knees asking God for forgiveness. I separate myself from everything. My earthly husband didn't notice.
One Sunday in the temple the preaching was from P2813 Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Once again The Lord spoke to me "it is time to speak" I knew that this would completely separate me from my earthly husband, take courage and accept what happened, I told my husband and for him it was something that he never felt in his life even when he was in adultery, I realized that the change should be for both of us, my Heavenly Husband showed me that my mistake started with me. My earthly husband gave me another chance, we gave our lives to the Lord, until he experienced pain he asked me for forgiveness.
What principles, from God's Word (or through our resources), did the Lord teach you during this trial, Eloise?
R826 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
My knees have buckled since my restoration began, the trials are the hardest part but it helped me believe more in my Heavenly Husband. At the time of my restoration, the RMI material appeared in my life, I felt that the Holy Spirit comforted me and led me to have a relationship with my Love. Thank you God, you arrive at the exact moment, my life smiled again when I found the truth.
The book on How God can and will Restore your Marriage, came at the right time, that book was for me, I realized that God always listened to me.
The tests are very hard, because the enemy attacks more in our mind with doubt.
What were the most difficult times that God helped you through, Eloise?
The trials are the most difficult moments and the trust between the two of us, my earthly husband and I, I think that for Douglas the most incredulous thing was believing that God had forgiven me and that he believed that he was also forgiven. God helped me go through valleys of the shadow of death to have confidence in Him and keep Faith alive.
Eloise, what was the “turning point” of your restoration?
Knowing my Heavenly Husband in such a personal way that I never experienced it, RMI was a source that helped me and that my Heavenly Husband brought to me.
Tell us HOW it happened, Eloise? Did Douglas just walk in the front door? Eloise, did you suspect or could you tell you were close to being restored?
Douglas never left or abandoned my home, even though he had a daughter from the other relationship, he felt that he should not have left his house at any time, his family was always my daughter and me; it was up to me whether to kick him out of the house or leave him by my side, despite the years it would take us to gain trust.
My restoration was fast, the Lord was in charge of making each of us see our fault, from that moment everything changed, even his well-being, his work, his health and his relationship with me changed completely.
Would you recommend any of our resources in particular that helped you, Eloise?
RMI material is written to change lives and restore any marriage that wants it, from how to be wise to material for men.
My husband became interested in the material for men and he himself recommended it to others, helping others by motivating them to restore marriages. We have been restored for 3 years.
Would you be interested in helping encourage other women, Eloise?
Yes, in all cases.
Either way, Eloise, what kind of encouragement would you like to leave women with, in conclusion?
I have encouraged others, I have shared the material, and the ones who had the interest to read the material and restore, achieved their goal, I saw the case of a young woman with three years of divorce, that got restored and remarried and had another child. There's nothing impossible for God.
We just cry out to God and He hears our prayer. Now we dedicate ourselves to sharing RMI´s material to the people God sends us.
