From time to time Scott and
I will talk about it.....
I was ridding in the car with my husband many years
ago. He had been without a job for
about four weeks , and with a new baby this
was a little frightning. We were talking about
the Lord and praying and singing praises to him.
All of a sudden I just turned to my husband
and said, My Father will supply all of our needs.
Then with a grin on my face , I added half
jokingly , half serious.....ONE OF THESE
DAYS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAND ME
ONE THOUSAND DOLLERS.
My husband got a good laugh at my childlike
lift of the chin as I said it. I crossed
my arms and said.....you just wait and see.
SOME ONE IS GOING TO HAND ME ONE
THOUSAND DOLLERS IN JESUS NAME.
Well, A week later my husband found a great
job. But no one handed me a dime...lol
Years past....more kids, more trials, arguments,
lack of prayer, then the enemy came in like a flood.
My husband And I were seperated finally and
we were prepared to have a divorce. We both
didnt believe in divorce , but the enemy had done
a good job of temporarily decieving us. Once God
began to deal with me again.....I was all alone
in my appartment when I began to pray. I asked
God to help lead me to do what he would have me
to do...and I would be willing to do his will no matter
how it made me feel....just as long as I was where he
wanted me to be.....because I knew if I was where he
wanted me to be, I was safe. God spoke to my heart
CLEAVE TO YOUR OWN HUSBAND.
OUCH that hurt ....I didnt want to hear that because
I was still hurt over the past. But I picked up the
phone and called my husband and Told him......I
just want you to know that I forgive you of all and
I love you , and I want you to forgive me. No matter
what else happens , I want you to know that. That
was about as much as I could muster up to do at the time
in what God was dealing with me to do. Any way ,
I was working at a local resturant , which was also a hotel.
When this gentleman walks in and sits down to order.
As he looked at his menu, I couldnt help but notice
he kept glancing up at me and turning away each time.
When I walked over to take his order, he began to speak.
He said, Honey, I know you dont know me, and I dont
know you, but I have been fighting God on something
and I cant fight any more. (he had no idea i was a
believer) He had my full attention. He continued....
He said, God wants me to tell you something...before
he could fully finish his sentence, i jumped in and said
"what is it!" He said, God wants you to know that
he sees you and hears you and knows exactly where
you are......he wants you to know he is guiding you with
his eye, and he wants you to read EPH..5:21
Then he handed me an envelope and said, I wont
see you again....take this and dont worry about it.
Then he left. I stuck the envelope in my pocket
just so thankful that God knew where I was and heard
me.....that alone was enough for me....BUT after
I got home and settled in , I went to get my bible
and opened it up...this is EPH 5:21
Submitting yourselves on to another in the fear of God.
Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife
even as christ is the head of the church
and he is the savior of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ
so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved the church
and gave himself for it: That he might sanctify and cleanse it
with the washing of water by the word.
That he might present it to himself a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle or any such thing
but that it should be holy and without blemish.

IT WAS A CONFIMATION! I KNEW WHAT GOD
WANTED ME TO DO...I JUST NEEDED HIS STRENGTH
TO DO IT AND A WAY TO DO IT.
I then reached down in my pocket , remembering
he gave me something....I opened it , and in it
was 10 one hundred doller bills.

I was so thankful that I literally blew a kiss
to my h eavenly Father and said.
I WILL!
I WILL OBEY YOUR WILL!
It may not be easy, but I know it will be worth it.

LOVE, SIS CATHY

HALLELUJAH, best testimony I've read in a while!

Mostly I am so thankful that you and your husband can reconcile! THAT is the greatest miracle.

The $1000 is a plus..........maybe you all can go on a "honeymoon" with it!

Your testimony gives me hope for my hopeless marraige! I felt a flood of love for my husband yesterday and prayed that God would work a miracle in our lives. He has filed for divorce against my wishes and seems determined to go through with it. I feel like God could work a miracle in our lives and we could be reconiciled. God:p has told us before that we were going to be mightily used by God, but that it was conditional. I don't know why I am feeling such faith at this late date in our marraige, but I really feel like God is going to do something. I feel like there is really no one to talk to about this, but then I found this website. Anyone out there want to agree with me that God could do the impossible in my life?

The Lord is always up for a Challenge…
Remember that he is not just the God of the Hills & Valleys
Or the God of out mountain top experiences….

But he is the Mighty God of our Darkest hours….
The Prince of Peace or our Greatest Turmoil’s…
The God that Healeth Thee… When our Emotions have been out of control
The very One that Stands with us closer than a Brother… When everyone else seems to have left.
Our Comforter when there seems to be no rest….For he brings Rest to the Weary

Sis Cathy,
Congratulations on your anniversary.
You have a wonderful testimony of what God has done and is doing. Isn't He great! \o/
My wife and I celebrated our 31st anniversary this year. None of our siblings have matched that and in fact my two older siblings think I believe in God because I'm not as smart as them. Thats ok with me :)
I will take God and my wife over their *smarts* any day ;)
God bless.

I appreciate the testimony about God healing the marriages. I would like to share a praise report along those lines too.

When my wife and I met, I was backslidden and deeply immersed in pornography, in particular the online variety. I justified the addiction by saying that I wasn't doing anything illegal, and I wasn't doing it on the job; even after I returned to the Lord I was still struggling with the addiction. While I never got in trouble, the addiction was quietly eroding the marriage.

In the summer of 2005 I hit rock bottom. My wife, while logging on to the computer, stumbled across a collection of images which made her quite upset. She was so angry at me that she was going to get a divorce, because I had been looking at women all the time. I sought help from different sources, and then contacted one of the men of God at the church in Norfolk where I attended. He prayed with me and about a week or so later there was a special altar call for people with addictions. As I approached one of the elders, I whispered in his ear what I wanted God to deliver me from because I was quite embarrassed. As we prayed, the refreshing of the Holy Ghost came over me, and God did what I was unable to do on my own...deliver me from the sin of pornography!

This was on August 7, 2005. On October 2, we both went to the final night of the UPCI General Conference in Richmond. Bro. Billy Cole was preaching, and gave an altar call where my wife came down with me. She received the Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus' name that evening!

When I retired from the Navy in November, I did not want to move from Norfolk. I knew God brought my wife and I to a strong church where He performed many good things for us, and helped save our marriage from collapse. However, the job market was not open there, and we moved up here to Maryland. Since then, God has blessed us with another strong Apostolic church near our home, and we recently had a baby boy on Christmas Eve!

I rejoice with all whom can thank Jesus for the miracles He does to save marriages. It is His desire to see families grow together in Him!
