Chapter 13 “Cut All My Credit Cards Up” The Word of Their Testimonies

Milestone #1: Testimonies of Tithing

Cut All My Credit Cards Up

Dear Brides, We all have a fear when it comes to our finances, but if you can just let go and give them to God you will see a big weight will be lifted off of you such a burden we do not have to bare because our Lord and savior carried it for us.

This chapter 4, “Give it Away,” was so moving one I could relate to so much, I had to take moments and pause to cry and thank god for so many things. I did not cry out of grief but out of relief and joy that I could finally freely trust God in this area of my life. I always did for the most part but the times I didn't cost me big!!!

Mark 10:27, “Looking at them, Jesus said, ‘With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.’”

I'm loving these verses, and I say verses because there are several. I did not know until I started the How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage and A Wise Woman and Finding the Abundant Life, and Encourager. This verse has helped my trust and faith that God will do something that in our human eyes looks impossible.

Well, I already learned this by making so many mistakes and my HH coming through for me even with all my doubts. Even with all my doubts!!!! How awesome is that! brings me to tears while I write this because he loved me so much that with all my doubts and fear and worry He wanted to prove to me that He was my provider not anyone else. He did not have to do that. I did not deserve Him going to the lengths He went to show me no matter what He would always provide for me. I have been a stay at home mom for 23 years so I have been dependent on my first husband and now my second. Always living in fear financially because neither husband liked to share their money. Both were very controlling with it. Both having the idea that it was theirs because they worked and I didn't.

Since both of my marriages were so unstable I was always in fear of what if they up and leave me. Nothing is mine. I loved staying home with my children and new God was giving me that gift to be able to. during my separation with the first marriage and now this one, I tried to find a job but never could find someone to hire me because, well because I was nothing of worth to any of them because I did not have much of any work experience. I have 5 kids total. three adults and now two young ones at home.

I knew during my first separation and now my second that after I could not find a job my HH did not want me to get one. That He was going to take care of me. He truly is being my Husband. The only thing through before He started to let me know He was going to restore my marriage was that I was starting to doubt how was he going to provide for me when I had no job and my divorce was coming up around the corner? I was getting by living off spousal and child support but my child support could not cover all the bills that my spousal was covering which was the house note car note and car insurance.

I ended up getting a grant that is paying for me to take a online college course which I am taking now but I was not near going to be finished by the time the D day came around so yes I did start questioning. Until God showed me He was going to restore my marriage.

Then I could see why I did not find a job and why I did not have to feel in such a hurry to get this Pharmacy tech course done. Another thing that I am not so sure about. I did not do well in school and am now 47 years old. So going back to school is a very scary thing for me to accomplish. Anyway, I have learned to just roll with things that my HH will line everything up to not try to go ahead of him.

I know we are not suppose to go to court. I did not come to all this knowledge until after the fact but when we did go to decide on the child support and the spousal my HH made sure I was provided with just enough that every bill was paid for. We live off just enough to no more no less. No room to spend anything extra. I am more then happy and content with that though. For a minute I stopped paying my tithes because My child support got cut some.

God convicted me of this and brought me to a place of understanding that if I give my tithes He will make sure all my bills are always paid. So I started tithing again and told God I would never not tithe no matter if it looked like a bill was not going to get paid. I have ever since. and after doing so I had times before God started to restore my marriage that my husband who still is not living with me out of the blue after not talking hardly asked if I needed any money could ask if I did. I did too. I did need money at that time to pay ac couple things. Since God's been using my husband to pay for extras the kids needed that I normally wouldn't have been able to buy or asked my husband to.

Looking back now seems like God was setting my husband and I up for restoration even then. We still have some ways to go unless God decides to instantly turn my husbands heart because he's already turned mine but I am learning through this ministry to wait and that its OK to wait. That I don't want my husband back or anything else for that matter if it's not from God if it's not Gods will to be in my life. I've told God I do not want my husband to come back unless God sends him back. Only if God sends him back out of His will. God is enough and I see that and feel that. I will fully trust God to provide and guide me financially from now on, no doubting no fear.

Today I told God I was going to cut all my credit cards up. I have been paying on them for a couple years now and they seem to be going no where paying so much interest. I have only used one or two since. I asked him to please find a way that I can pay these things off all at once and would never use another credit card as long as I live. That I would depend on Him to supply all my needs if I didn't have the money for something. So I wait for my HH to provide the means to get them all paid off if that is in His will to do.

Well as of today I am not struggling with anything but feel peace knowing my HH is taking care of me and will trust Him with every area of my life. I want His will to be done in my life Not mine any more. I'm so tired of my will going forth with nothing but grief in return. I have confidence and faith and trust that my HH will is sufficient and will only return good things and nothing but His unfailing merciful love.

Let us pray: Lord, Today I do ask for wisdom. I read in Proverbs 8 today about how important and special gaining much wisdom is for me. Thank You for showing me today my sins against both my first husband and my current husband. Thank you for making me humble to go to both and apologize for somethings asking for their forgiveness. It feels really good to get rid of such filth. I love you so much

Dear Brides, If you want to know how to trust God with your finances or to see what He did for another this is a very good chapter to read. SO many examples of Gods mercy. So many examples of Gods faithfulness and love for us.

All my life God has provided for me not just some of my life but all. I just didn't know it at the time. Looking back now I see. Don't wait until half your life is over to see Gods goodness and the love He has for you to be your Heavenly Husband to provide all your needs in every area of your life. Here in this chapter 4, “Give it Away,” are so many great examples of the lengths God will go to make sure we have enough.

The Surprise and Miracle Came

Hello, dear Brides, Each day on this Day, I am amazed at the prayer responses of our Beloved Lord and how faithful He is in all of our lives.. How small we are in the face of so much greatness and wisdom ... the Bible tells me eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

After my trip to Brazil the furnace got very hot in the last few weeks ... I received notice from my landlord because there were 3 rentals overdue, and also I received the same time the Council tax letter ... when I received the letters I could only look to Him and say: “Darling this is a problem for a husband to solve and right now you are my HH and I need You to solve it for me”.

I prayed and trusted. I didn't despair, I just sat and waited for the salvation He would give me, also I learned that as a faithful tithe He will open the windows of heaven with blessings without MEASURES.

The letter that came from the court they said that they would come to my house to collect my belongings for payment of Council tax. On the appointed day I prayed with my friend Sara and sat with the Bible in hand waiting for the enforcement agents. It was scheduled for a Thursday at 6 pm, I waited until 6:40 pm and that's when I praised the Lord for deliverance. On Saturday God provided everything, I could to pay the Council tax.

With great joy I knew that somehow, He would save me from landlord notice.

I Keep being His bride, worshiping His name and hearing His voice, that everything would be resolved. So that you can understand last year because my surgery (let me mention another PR), the Council was helping me but for last 3 months they stopped helping me. One day they send me an email saying that I need to go there to check why help was not coming. So I went there and I showed them the letter from landlord. They told me that “we are going to check and then we send a reply”. After three days for the first miracle the payment to Council tax, in the morning I received an email from the Council that they would help me with the rent payment. The surprise and the miracle came when I opened my account, and the balance was the exact amount of 3 rents overdue... only He could do that, inclined the heart of the Council for me.

I said to Him: Lord I know that You will, I know that You will open the sea, but only this time Can You please open the sea really early? Not at the last moment like the other times? Look, He heard me ... He answered me ... He answered my heart's desire.

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:4 AKJ

Every day I want to be closer and closer to the best Husband we have. A Man of Value, Kindly, Gentle and never tire of listening to me.

My Beloved, I am grateful for all the benefits that You have done me. Even the tribulations, trials, and tests because it is where I can delight in You, wait for Your action, learn that I can ALL things in Him who strengthens me, that You are my Shepherd and I will not lack anything, that You are the Lord of Armies and my Husband and that You fight for me, even if my father and my mother abandon me You will never forsake me. Because you are not a Man who lies, but You are the Truth that sets free. I love You and thank You for being Your bride.

I’m speechless to explain everything I have lived with the Lord in the past two weeks, but I could see that today I am His and He is mine and I am sick of love!

And have you, my dear friend, discovered Him as your Heavenly Husband? Have you sought Him with all your heart? I encourage you today to speak to Him and ask Him to show you and you will be amazed at all that a HH can do for His bride.

“When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.” Psalm 27:10

“For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel” Isaiah 54:5

“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10

I Can’t Believe How Blind I Was

I want to first thank my Beloved HH for having allowed me to find this wonderful ministry, where I could find what nowhere else: Hope and a beautiful guide to start my RJ and truly know my Beloved HH and become His bride.

Thank you Beloved Partners for sowing here, for making it possible for desperate and hardened women (as I was) to receive these beautiful books and courses and we can be cleaned, healed and made new by our HH. Thanks to these resources I could know the Truth and I could finally feel that freedom to be in my Beloved HH. Thanks to these courses I have been able to renew my mind and RELEASE everything that does not take me to my Beloved HH. Thanks to these courses my idolatry to money has been broken, reprimanded tied and cast out in the powerful name of my Beloved Lord.

I know that nothing I can give will be able to achieve to return everything I have received here, but only according to the will of my Beloved HH will I give everything that He allows. I love you and I pray that this ministry will continue to prosper and reach more and more women to change their lives and lead them to be His Bride.

Dear friend, do you think your family has already been destroyed? Do you think there is no hope for your situation? Do you think your husband will never come back to you? And if he does, do you think that everything you've lived is too much and you can never forgive? Do you think divorce is the only, or worse, the best solution for this? Do you think God has something better for you outside of your marriage? Do you think that "at last" you are free to rebuild your life?

Dear friend, God can and will restore your marriage. But above all, God wants to do it, He wants to restore your marriage, but He is perfect and immense and not only wants your marriage, He loves you, your children and especially your husband. How will God do such a thing? He is the Lord Almighty, He made heaven and earth! Do you really think there is something too difficult for Him? Well no, there isn't. For human beings, like us, it is impossible, but not for God, for God everything is possible. Believe Him, He loves family and He does not want to destroy a family to form another, He wants to make New Everything, old things have passed, all are made new with Him, with His Love.

God has no one else or better for you, God does not want divorce for your marriage, because He hates divorce. God does not want to condemn your children to live a divorce, it is too painful for them, He wants your children to see His Glory in their family, but it is the heart of the family who must change first, and do you know who is the heart of the family?

You! Women are the heart of the family, that's why He created us women, I think we are sensitive, He created us with His perfect design and it is He who wants to work on you, wants to break that heart of stone and make one of flesh, a new heart, a pure and spotless heart, a holy heart for His Glory. Does the world tell you that "being Holy" is impossible? It is not! He wants to cleanse you, sanctify you, love you and restore you to you and your whole family. The Lord will sanctify your husband through you, because your husband is the head of the family and to change the head you must first change the heart.

Trust in God, read His Word and there you will find the strategy you need to overcome and restore your life and that of your family. The book, of How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage is based on the scriptures and will guide you to where the Lord wants to take you, will guide you to where the Lord wants you to be, will guide you to understand His Word and apply it to your life. Believe God and stop mourning.

When one begins to go through a process of separation or divorce and is "taken to the desert" he thinks that it is the worst thing that could have happened to him and that no one has experienced something so terrible. One believes that no one has gone through the same thing and that no one can understand it and it is true that no one can understand it, because only God can understand it, but also only God can make something possible in our human eyes that is impossible and this book proves it.

Extremely desperate situations, extremely impossible, extremely destroyed, where everyone believed that there was nothing else to do was The Hand of God who did it. If you do not believe it then read these testimonies and you will verify it, because by the word of their testimony of these marriages the Heavenly Father is being glorified, which makes possible what is impossible and can change everything in a second. What He did for them also wants to do for you and he will, let him into your life and you will see him.

It is beautiful to have had the blessing of having found this ministry and having taken Course 1. When I arrived here, desperate, hardened, foolish and full of so much pain and resentment, my heart was so dirty that I was NOT willing to pay "nor a dollar" for any course or anything to help me, if I found help I wanted it to be free; I was not willing to pay anything "to learn more about God" because my rotten heart believed that those who "did that" just wanted to take money from me and that everything was a lie and I thought they took advantage of the desperation of people to profit ... and if they "talked to me about tithing" I would definitely go very far because, according to me: "they just wanted my money" ... at this moment I write this, my heart trembles when I go back and see how my Beloved HH has worked with me, how he has had such patience for me, how he has worked, scrutinized, cleaned and restored every area of ​​my life, how he has struggled with my idolatry to money and control of it, as he has restored me through His Word and this beautiful ministry that helped me to understand it, to desire it, but above all it led me to have that unparalleled relationship of intimacy with my Beloved HH, that relationship that only He can establish with His Bride, to have become His Bride, to feel His ... is inexplicable and beautiful.

My Beloved is so beautiful and I thank you and I praise you for allowing me to reach this ministry as well as so many other women, because having arrived here changed my life, gave me hope, made me see that God is Real, that He DOES NOT He lies, that He does not change, He taught me to know Him, know His Word and delight in it, He taught me that He has control of everything and that only by His side have I been able to find everything I always longed for. Thanks to this beautiful place my heart could be cleansed, all of me was cleansed and washed with the blood of Jesus.

I want to thank all the members for the beautiful desire to serve, to help, to give as He gives us. Thank you to each of you for allowing a woman like me, who was so immersed in the world, to have arrived here with the guidance of Our Beloved HH. Thank you for the beautiful planting you do in this ministry, I know that your lives are filled with the grace of Him and His love.

I arrived at this ministry a year and 8 months ago, and although I have already read almost all the courses, I am just filling out this last form of Course 1, but I know that the times of the Beloved Lord are perfect and every filled form has been pouring out my heart, shedding all my life, my tears, and always learning to seek more from Him and above all to find him. The methodology that this beautiful ministry definitely uses, I feel in my heart, which has been guided by HH, so that the women who arrive here can learn how He wants to teach us.

Thanks to His Love, His patience, His sweetness and everything he has done in my life, today I feel different, my mind has been renewed by Him, with His truth. My heart yearns to serve him, love him and really help other women who, like me, are desperate and so in need of knowing him without even knowing or having an idea of ​​how he is going to change their lives.

Today I look back and I can't believe how blind I was, how hardened, how foolish and idolized I was. My Beloved continues to work on me and "continues to take out the precious [He] from the vile [me]". (Jeremiah 15:19) I look back and laugh at myself as I closed completely to tithe and today, only for the Thanks of my Beloved, I can do it with all my heart, without expecting to receive anything in return, just to be obedient to Him and return only a little of everything he gives me. As tithing has changed my life, not because now I have more money, much less, the financial crisis we are in is more severe, but my Beloved has allowed me to tithe without my EH having the slightest idea of that I do it and he has never realized, because it is my Beloved who has control and who opens the way.

My Beloved is the provider of our home, and despite all the debts and the financial crisis, He has covered all our needs, even my EH does not explain how we have been able to live these months without income and it is not explained how little by little we are really coming out of this. I used to be the one who controlled the money, paid the bills and charged me with all the responsibility of maintaining the house and making the money reach, but thanks to the guidance of my Beloved King I was able to release and leave it in the hands of my EH and every day learning to let go more and not telling him how he has to spend money, because "Now, I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, while man is the head of the woman and God is the head of Christ." (1 Corinthians 11: 3)

And it is my Beloved who must settle "the accounts" with my EH. My King is the one who does everything and I have surrendered everything to Him, but I confess that it has not been easy and even today I am struggling with myself over the control and worry of what the money is spent on, but I know that He is working and little by little, as he has already done, he will continue to cleanse me of all this and let me give it to him, because the most beautiful thing is that He is so faithful that he shows me and allows me to renounce and repent so that He continues to cleanse me with Hyssop and I can get closer and closer to Him, which is what my heart craves most.

In truth my heart is totally grateful to this ministry, to the members, to all who work here carrying His Word and Hope in Him. I want to thank the RMI Minister Ziva, in Peru, because my Beloved has allowed me to know her and that she be a light sent by Him in the midst of my darkness, a light that has led me to trust Him more and not need anyone but my Beloved in any situation. Ziva has been a beautiful help to learn to seek more from the Lord and only to trust in Him and not depend on any human being and I know that my Beloved allowed us to meet in His perfect time.

My Love, after 1 year and 8 months I can finish "formally" Course 1 and I know that everything has been in Your time. I thank you for allowing me to find this ministry and everything you have done in my life since that time. My Love, thank you because Your time is perfect and although I have already read and seen the other courses, You have worked in me with such patience and with so much love every lesson that it seems as if everything had been synchronized with the events of my life, It seems as if everything had been programmed, because every lesson I had to do "formally" was ministering to me as if it were new, despite having already read it at the beginning of my process.

My Love, all this is only thanks to You and Your perfect love, thanks to You and your beautiful patience with me, with this rebellious woman and so dirty that she fell at your feet full of tears like the prostitute, who was satiated as the Samaritan woman, which was forgiven and cleansed by your precious blood without deserving it. Thank you my Lord for Your perfect work in me and for continuing to perfect me until Your arrival My Love. I love you infinitely and I only long to remain in Your presence until you decide to take me out of this world. I love you.

Dear friend, I can imagine how you should be feeling right now, but let me tell you, there is hope! Do not believe that everything is already destroyed, better believe God and let yourself be transformed by Him. I was destroyed when I started taking this course, shattered and desperate, without any hope and I felt completely alone and misunderstood. I have also felt like you, I have also felt burning and being destroyed, but do not fear! God will come to rescue you. Call to Him! Search in His Word, meet Him, fall in love with Him and your life will never be the same, but it will be much better, full of joy and peace, isn't that what you need right now?

Do you know who [can give it to you?] Only Lord, only Him. With all the Love that He has placed in me I give you this course so that the Lord will continue His work in you, He has placed in me love for you without knowing you, He has put in me to pray for you without Knowing you and without knowing your desperate situation. He is the inexhaustible source of everything. Dear friend, do not fear, take refuge in the Lord.

Could Never Have Imagined

For a couple of days I have been asking my Beloved HH to help me remember all those wonderful things that He has brought to my life to be able to write my PR, since I had nothing on my mind. It seemed quite strange that nothing had happened, so I just said: please Honey, help me remember all those events that I've been by your side and I've seen your hand. He is a gentleman and with a sweet voice I started to remember many things in a way, so that I could write them down and keep a list to prepare my new praises. Wow, He is so amazing.

I am the godmother of my elder nephew who is now almost 30 years old. He is single and has never had a girlfriend before. At 6 months of being born, his head was closed and he had a skull surgery whose opening extends from ear to ear, otherwise his head would not grow. Because of this, glory to God, my nephew had no consequences of learning or mobility, but the shape of his head has a slight deformation by which we have always believed that he feels self-conscious/ashamed.

Due to my sister's divorce, my nephew has lived with my mother for almost 6 years and looks like me, physically and in his way of thinking as well, therefore we have an extreme relationship. Almost 2 years ago, due to a traffic accident, I gave him a Bible as a gift along with a reading guide and since then every night he sits with my mom to read the word. My HH has been guiding him to interpret His word and lately when any doubt arises, he takes the opportunity to ask me and orient himself. Wow, I could never have imagined being able to help someone knowing the Lord.

The point is that one of the conversations about financial issues led me to explain the principle of tithing, how to do it correctly and do it in obedience to the Lord. Also in order to close the door to the enemy and prevent him from stealing something else from our lives. My nephew listened attentively and went straight to look for Malachi 3:10.

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Malachi 3:10

Some weeks later, he told me that he was already tithing to his storehouse and thanked me for clarifying the issue. But I could witness something more surprising, because my mother, who has gradually been more interested in knowing the Lord as her Husband, asked me one day to speak about tithing to the girl who helps her with the cleaning (whom I have known for many years). And then my mom added: well, I already understood that, although I don't go to any church, I get my spiritual feed from the church that sends me daily devotionals by whatsapp so I have understood that that's where I should be tithing.

What else could I ask to the Lord? He is giving me the desire of my heart, and my whole being is completely full of joy to see once again how He is opening a road for us.

"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Mathew 5:15-16

Situations That Look Hopeless

I am writing this PR to praise and thank Him for holding me up and taking care of me during my RJ so far.

Since this trail He's been looking after me and providing for me and my 2 children. My ex husband is still paying everything that he committed (we didn't fight about it) to pay during the divorce. And since I am unemployed at the moment my HH really is using my gifts and talents, (sewing, beauty, nails) to generate extra income for me and my kids. I am currently really struggling to find employment in the field I studied and worked in for 18yrs.

But my HH blessed me with others talents as well, and the things I love to do and were hobbies He's now using to help us and I always have orders for clothes etc. And I started to tithe on this income as well as my allowance from my eh.

My HH also carried me through the worst test so far, to let my kids be introduced and go on holiday with my eh and ow. I always wanted to protect my kids from this mess but this were taken out of my hands. All I can do now is let it go and leave my precious kids in His hands. And He is holding me and comforting me. He also saw to it that my family surrounded me during this time, which I am so grateful for, and I know it is from my HH who loves me and takes care of me (and my children).

He truly is the best Husband, His love for us is perfect. He will catch all our tears in a bottle and replace it with a smile. He gives us rest and peace in situations that look hopeless and to difficult to bare.

All verses from Isaiah 54:

"For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel" Isaiah 54:5 NLV

• He is my Husband, He provides in all my needs and protects me. In the same way He is my kid's Heavenly Daddy and will hold them, protect them and will provide for them - Isaiah 54:5 (1983 Afrikaans translation)

"For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee." Isaiah 54:10 NLV

• Through everything, He will be with me - Isaiah 54:10 (1983 Afrikaans translation)

"In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee." Isaiah 54:14 NLV

• He will protect me and my kids - Isaiah 54:14 (1983 Afrikaans translation)

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn." Isaiah 54:17 NLV

• Because everything happening is kept from me and I must find out afterwards, it feels like weapons are being formed against me. But with my HH with me, these weapons won't prosper - Isaiah 54:17 (1983 Afrikaans translation)

You Can Expect a Shift

Hello brides I just want to share that God is doing something in my marriage because I’ve let him take the lead and full control and I want to share a bit of what he’s doing...

since my EH left me he rarely text me if he did was solely about visitation time with our daughter or just to confirm but lately I’ve noticed a shifted he still talks about our daughter a lot but I just no there’s more to it 

Last week he text me almost the whole week back and forth we text he even let me know if I needed him he would be off limits because he would be in The army base training during the weekend . That being said the next day early morning he text me saying he hated the fact he had to ask me if he could borrow money from me since his car battery died and he had to report to base . I didn’t hesitated and I lend him a bit more to cover his expenses . He text me right after he got home this Sunday evening and thank me for helping him . (Which is my pleasure because well he is my EH) He also let me know he would when he was leaving to boot camp but I didn’t text back I wasn’t sure what to text and I just want my HH to guide and feel peace to text him back and I also fell asleep but today he text me again and told me again when he was leaving for boot camp I just smiled and I knew God is up to something .. I didn’t reply right away and then he text me again saying “are you ok”?

If We Trust in Him Alone, He Provides!

My Heavenly Love cares for me at all times!

I was led to tithe years ago. My Love has made it easy for me to do--logical and wise, even when my funds are tight. He has shown me, repeatedly, that He takes care of me. When I have failed to tithe in the past, it has been because of a chaotic time or distraction. HE has made it easy for me. I have sins that I struggle with repeatedly, but He has not had me struggle with tithing. My former husband learned to tithe from a good pastor.

So, when my FH called me to say that his banking account had been hacked and all his money had been removed, I was surprised, but I was more curious than afraid, curious at what the LORD had to show us. This was in spite of the fact that I had just had some big expenses and was expecting a maintenance check from my FH to refill my checking account, plus I was leaving town in a few days. So when my FH told me that no funds would be deposited, I was not afraid, nor upset.

I was really curious as to how my Love was going to use this situation. My FH was upset, as he had just purchased a very expensive piece of equipment and had had other big expenses. My Love led me to say, "You trust in God; He will come through."

Several days later, he texted me to tell me that the bank had managed to find where the funds had been moved, but that it could take another pay period to get the funds transferred to the right accounts. I praised God in my text back, and then my FH called me immediately, wanting to pray right then on the phone with me!

I was out of town with no computer, so I didn't check my accounts until I returned. Amazingly, the funds had only been slightly delayed and my next maintenance check was on time, as scheduled. Of course, I tithed both deposits as soon as I saw them.

This morning, I was feeling a bit stale in my praise of Him. I like to praise Psalm 145 every morning, but it was feeling rote for the first time. I went on to read my read-through the Bible scripture for the day, and right there was David's praise of God, as he prepared supplies for Solomon to build the temple.

I got out my index card to copy and memorize this praise.

He provides! He provides! If we trust IN HIM ALONE, He provides!

“Blessed are You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone. Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name" 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 (NASB)

Everything is HIS! He controls it ALL!

He will give us ALL that we need and will bless us, if we turn to Him and trust in Him!

Operating and Moving Things on Our Behalf

Hello last week I received a letter from my daughter’s health insurance denying her speech therapy and though my mind couldn’t understand it because she does in-fact need it.

She is 4 years old and does not put more than 2 words together and does not speak in sentences. At that moment I felt like I wanted to let my EH know but I thought to myself why burden him he can’t help me anyways I would only make him anxious and worry him perhaps even upset him. I decided not to tell him anything and I really just have it up to God two days later my daughter pre-K teacher took me to the side and told me that. The school therapy contacted them and told them they had 2 openings and though. The morning there is 6 kids that need speech therapy and there is 8 in my daughters class the teacher chose her as one to get speech therapy .

When she told me that I knew God had came through and I did right in keep quiet and not worry my EH but depend on my Heavenly husband. I always give cheerfully my tithes and I just knew he knew my heart and had open this door for my daughter . Praise him and glory to him for he is in control of everything operating and moving things on our behalf .

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ." Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

Going Against What I Was Taught

I have struggled with letting go of some things in my life for quite a while, some things that could potentially be harmful to my body, functioning and well being. I thank My Beloved because he has protected me all this time that I continued to hold on to what I knew would be harmful to me. I have always liked to eat salt and in a specific choice of a certain snack. There is nothing wrong with enjoying something in moderation but that’s not something that I did. Now there’s been days where I could discipline myself but nothing lasting.

This snack seemed to always be calling my name and if I wasn’t buying it for my self somebody else would, if it was just them being thoughtful or me calling on them to do it for me. So needless to say I have had an unhealthy appetite for this thing. I’ve had swelling in my feet, etc, very dangerous, but even those things couldn’t keep me from what I was craving. I’ve asked my Beloved for help on occasions but I was not really sincere about wanting to change the majority of those times. I was experiencing some different things with my body and made an appointment to see the doctor some test were done. Some time later I was told that I had osteoarthritis. I was devastated by the news and did mourn for a period and at some time in that mourning realized that this was an answer to prayer.

You see to prolong the life of the body in this condition some of the information I read suggested eliminating salt ,sugar, etc, but even after this I still struggled with the same thing. I made no real attempts to put them away me, but God.....My Precious Lord gets all the praises.

I know without a doubt that I did not do it in my own strength. I had a swelling episode and I was aware of the cause, when I eat specific things containing salt I overdo it. I felt led to go on a fast at some point eliminating all but veggies and water. It was during this fast that my salt intake was done away with and following the fast My Beloved helped me to continue to go without them it has been about 120 days or more that I have not indulged in this snack that at one point I couldn’t go without.

I give all the praise to my Beloved this is something I could have never done on my own. To add to all the excitement I discovered after reading another’s testimony about tithing and the devourer no longer being able to take from you. Well funny thing, I started withholding my tithe at some point when these things were taking place and stored it up to send it off to RMI. I didn’t get it off to months later with my testimony but my Love knew my heart back then and he protected me and helped me to overcome. I’m not sure if this is the exact reason it happened but I do know that this is what took place before it.

I have been a tither prior to RMI it was just being put in other places.Now looking back I realize that in all that time before tithing to RMI, I was tithing to my home church even though we are not taught that we are required to tithe. I was going against what I was taught. I struggled with trying to do it and was never successful or even serious about it.

I praise him, this is true victory for me. I have found myself in the recent indulging in a new snack with salt of course but not as often, but slipping back into old habits, which will result the same way if I don’t do something about it. My love is allowing me to see that I have to replace what was removed with some thing else something better for me or I’ll continue to fill that void with the wrong thing. I also noticed that I withheld my praise report in regards to the deliverance and I believe that also plays a part in me having victory over what has had me in bondage. So I have to continue to do my part to stay victorious or I’ll find myself in the same place as before. Thank you Love again and again.

"Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 (NIV)

“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.” Matthew 12:43-45 ESV

During the Sleepless Nights

I want to thank and praise my Heavenly Husband today, He is so good, so good!

My earthly husband divorced me in October and there was an other woman in the picture for 4 years and still is. We lost our business, leaving me without an income. My earthly husband still supports me and my 2 kids but it's not enough.

But through family and friends my Heavenly Husband started to open doors for me to use my hobbies to supplement my income.

He blessed me with talents like sewing that I can now use and He always provides me with orders for clothing.

He truly provides and we always have food, clothes etc. And I am so thankful and humbled by how He truly looks after and provides when we become His brides. I also started tithing on my earthly husband's maintenance and whatever I earn from making clothes and doing nails. I never ask my earthly husband to provide anything even the maintenance money, and if he forgets I ask my Heavenly Husband to remind him and He always does.

I took off my wedding ring after the divorce but my earthly husband immediately wanted it back to sell it. At first I didn't want to because it had sentimental value and kept it for when we get remarried (I just believe because that's what He told me).

According to the South Africa law, I also didn't have to give it back since it counts as a gift. But my Heavenly Husband told me to sacrifice the ring, so I did. He told me to hang on and there is a reason. My earthly husband sold the ring and booked a holiday for him and the kids over Christmas. Later I found out that he was planning to take the other woman and her kids as well.

I was so upset because I didn't want to expose my kids to her. But again my Heavenly Husband told me to make the sacrifice, there is a reason. All I can say is that this past Christmas week was terrible but like my Heavenly Husband told me, just leave the children in His hands, He will protect them and be with them and Who better to look after your children?

Me and my earthly husband really didn't talk a lot since before the divorce up till now. I didn't fight the divorce and my Heavenly Husband told me it's going to happen.

There were a lot of hurt and and a huge hate wall up. I've been praying and fasting to completely let go.

When I took the kids to his place earlier today we talked for the first time and really opened up about some things that happened in the past. And he told me this holiday opened his eyes and he doesn't know if his relationship with the other woman will work! He hugged me for a long time and he was close to tears.

That was the reason my Heavenly Husband told me to make the sacrifice! And He told me it will be for my good! He is starting to work in my earthly husband's heart!

He is so, so good and faithful and even on Christmas day when I was so sad because my kids weren't with me, He comforted me and held me tight. During the sleepless nights, He was with me. He caught every tear in a bottle and I was able to smile because I have Him!

Although there is no talk about reconciliation yet I'm at peace because I know He is at work in my earthly husband’s life and my life. I still need changing but I know He will make it happen in His perfect timing.
