Thank you, Lori, for that meaningful encouragement! We need to build one another up in our faith and I appreciate you doing that through this sharing.
Amen! We are so glad this encouraged you
Thank God, and thank you Lori for your obedience to share this. It was for me. The date that you released it, the prayer I made, and several things you touched on. But most of all the book you told me to get was a part of my instructions from The Most High God that tied this all together for me! Thank you again Lori for your obedience!
Thanks for sharing this, Janet. What a blessing to hear how God is answering your prayers. We feel honored to play a small role in your spiritual journey. God is good!
This was such a GOOD reminder that for as much as standers are being targeted by the enemy in our stand, you are also a target, if not an even more attacked one(!) as a ministry for marriage restoration. Thank you for choosing to share this recording. Our battle is real, against an enemy of our souls, who seeks to murder and destroy us all through his lies. Stand firm! Our armor is made for this war. Our weapons of truth, love, righteousness, and faith-in-prayer work! Your ministry has kept me from giving up many times. Because YES, it is about more than waiting for a prodigal. The battle is for territory in our souls, in our homes, in our children’s lives. Thank you for your work and your testimony.
Amen! Thanks for sharing, Anea. We are praying for your family.
That was right on the money Lori! The verse I was thinking of during the podcast was Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Thank you for sharing
I wasn’t married, but was in a long term committed relationship for 18 years. We had talked about getting married and it was in the works, until it wasn’t any longer and he ended the relationship. That was over 5 years ago. There is much more to the story of what God showed me regarding that relationship and where it will go from that point but suffice to say that I no longer wish for going back to what was, but, I pray for my now ex to know God. I pray for Jesus to turn his heart towards God and God to turn his heart towards Jesus. I pray for his soul, so that he may know the truth – that there is a God and He very very much loves us and is intricately involved in our lives.
Also, today, I have spent in tears, as the weight of this world continues to increase it’s pressures, especially financially. Being now single, and where I live life itself is no longer sustainable financially. I am in despair but fighting it, trying to feel connected to Christ but I am so so worn down. So, your recording today, yes, I have been distracted by this world’s never-ending crushing oppression and I yearn to be with the Lord, to see his eyes, to have my hand in His. I cry today, not for the loss of a partner, spouse, if you will, but for being separated from the spirit – to NOT be able to see and be in the very presence of Jesus Himself. This I desire, I need, more than anything the world has to offer. Thank you both for this podcast.
I am forever grateful for Rejoice Marriage Ministries and thankful for your obedience to share. This encouragement to persevere and to not give in to the distractions was exactly what I needed. May God continue to bless you and use you. May we all continue to stand in faith and confident trust that He who promised is faithful.
