♕ Today's Promise: “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 high places.” Ephesians 6:12 KJV
Dear Brides! Blessings! Where do I begin? Wow God is so good and wonderful. Let me start by saying, I am a stubborn soul! The Lord led me to this ministry back in June one night as I was working I was sitting one to one with a patient. I work 12 hour night shifts 3 nights a week. I put my patient to sleep, said a prayer over my patient and for myself and I began scrolling through the Internet. I remember I was having a bad night that night after receiving a text from my EH (earthly husband). Although the Lord showed me not to argue back with my husband for he showed me we do not wrestle flesh against flesh I have to remember it is not my EH (earthly husband), but the enemy! But even so, I am still human and my feelings do get hurt when my EH (earthly husband) would say mean things, but instead of continuing to allow him to get to me, in tears I began to cry out to God! Yes in my patients room of all places!
The amazing encounter I had with my HH (Heavenly Husband), was just so beautiful! I could feel his Holy Spirit strong! As I scrolled through searching for a YouTube video on marriage restoration, I kept coming across this particular video, but instead of clicking it I kept passing it. Let me tell you when the Lord wants to show you something he will show you! Even as I kept passing this specific marriage restoration video, it kept popping back up right at the top. Weird I thought to myself as I contributed to try to pass it, finally I gave in and decided to click on it. I prayed Lord if this is you showing me your will be done. And let me just share this was a marriage restoration video of a sister in Christ who’s marriage was restored because of RMI ministeries...forgive me brides I can’t remember her name it’s been awhile but all I can tell you was the Lord was at work.
I was In tears crying pouring my heart out to the Lord thanking him for bringing me to hopeatlast.org I even ordered “by the word of their testimonies'' the first books I ever ordered and later ordered” How God can and will restore your marriage” both which I recommend 100% needless to say even though coming being led to RMI ministries I still wasn’t reading daily the books, or coming online to do the journals, listen to the love song they recommend. I would read the daily inspirational testimonies from other brides and read the daily devotionals but I wasn’t applying the teaching to myself and really wasn’t doing as I should. I continued to struggle, even found myself fighting myself just to pray.
Don’t listen to any other voice but Gods! God is all that matters! I learned to speak to God only and keep my mouth shut! I used to run to my mom first all the time when I was sad or mad crying to her first instead of taking it to my HH first. And then I would pray to my HH after I was done talking to my mom, boy was I wrong! The Lord showed me I was a hypocrite I wasn’t putting him first I was running to my mom or sister first, so brides don’t make that same mistake take it to God first. Talk to him first ask him first before making any decisions or taking any steps let him guide you. I am still learning to do this. There’s times I have gone days without praying, without reading my bible I find myself battling with myself it’s in those moments where the Lord needs is to press through and pray remember the Lord will sustain us always in our times of distress.
Dear brides, no matter where you are in your stand, don’t ever lose hope don’t ever lose your faith, know that your HH (Heavenly Husband) is by your side and he is your strength when you feel defeated and weak know he will make your paths straight know he will life you up and mold you to be the godly bride he called you to be. He will transform you and make you new. You will begin to see things through his eyes. You will start to see things differently through his eyes. It’s a beautiful thing when we surrender to our HH don’t give up the good fight! Know that your HH is right there with you he hears your cries, he hears your prayers don’t give up prayers and blessings your way my dear fellow brides God bless
