More encouragement will be added Soon!

I know firsthand how difficult this calling and stand is for you in this latter hour. I would like to reflect on a few things that I have learned along my journey of restoration. If someone 10 years ago would have told me in a prophetic vision...I would have perked up a bit and guarded up my ways. however I wouldn't have learned as much in His discipleship program either. Hindsight is 20/20 so they say. I can clearly see why! many feel punished for what they have had to go through in this refining process. I too have felt this way many different times during this walk. they may eve n think that their mates walk scott FREE! Let's look at this from Gods perspective..... I hope that you see things a bit more clearly when we do. I hope that you pray more for that wayward cov mate of your youth. I will give you some insight on what I've learned. I honestly wished that someone would have lead more as examples as christian leaders when I first started out. And then again...I don't! I will share why....when I get back to posting. First you need to know the WHY that you are even standing...is it scriptural or man made? How do you know? Just a few insights to ponder until we meet again...Stand strong and Look UP! You need to be using your time seeking the Lord without idle hands nor idols. Again I say Rejoice! Consider it not strange the trials you are going through. That's just IT...you are not pitching a tent and staying....you my faithful friend are going through to VICTORY! Obedience and repentance by the hour is key. Be sure that you are a forgiving person. If you aren't ask God to help you get to that point immediately. If you are that far away mate in the wilderness thinking about how you could EVER GO BACK HOME AGAIN...trust that He will not only help you in not delaying but that he provides every need you have as you do obey. Its too important not to obey and depart back to the wife or husband of your youth. Trust God to open up some Big doors suddenly and sooner than expected! More to come.....pray and obey ON until then. You work on you right now as God does the rest. Get your hands out of the mix! See ya soon. Stay blessed!!

You are not foolish...You are obedient!

"Standers are often thought to be foolish by family, pastor, and friends (but so were Noah, Abraham, and so many other people who were used by God)". "For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." (2 Tim 1:12) You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God...Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:4-7-10 “Now you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these things; it was not my idea.” Numbers 16:28 A Season of Restoration is Upon Us One powerful thing that God has laid upon my heart is: now is the season of restoration for his people. God’s heart is always sensitive to the weak Christians. Those who have been attacked by the enemy, afflicted with sickness and bondages and lead astray from God. In this season there is a powerful move of God to bring back to Himself all the weak Christians, who have been attacked and deceived by the enemy. God wants to restore them and bring them back to them into His waiting arms. He is calling the weak those who have fallen away and the prodigal sons home. For the entire Body of Christ God is releasing a powerful move of the Spirit for our restoration. God is going to heal, restore, and deliver His people from bondage. In a way so powerful that we will all know that it was done by the hand of God Himself. God our Father has heard the cries of the weak and helpless. He has heard the cries of his people who are sick and afflicted. He has heard the cries of His people who are in bondage and trapped by lies of the enemy. God is bringing Restoration to each and every member of the body of Christ who will cry out to Him. God is a God of forgiveness, no matter how great the sin. God’s heart is especially sensitive to the weak who have been deceived by the enemy. God sent his only Son to die for us; will He now not deliver and bring restoration to His people? What do you need restoration and forgiveness in your life? Now is the time to cry out harder than you have ever cried out in your life. The season of restoration is upon us. Cry out to God and do not let this season pass you by. Bill Hardaway Longest married couple in the U.S. - 80 years married! He's 101, and she's 97!

"Do I tell them I'm standing?"

{{{NEW STANDERS}}} "Should I call him?" "Would you invite her?" "Do I tell them I'm standing?" With everything being topsy-turvy right now in your marriage and nothing the same, treading the water of how to deal with your wayward spouse can be confusing. Showing unconditional love is one thing but what's acceptable to say? What's appropriate? Some have no contact with their husband or wife and can't communicate. Others see their spouse often but there is so much hostility their words are returned. There can be an urge to reach out, I know what that feels like and there is conflicting information available for research as to what to do and how to do it if you look for instructions for others. The only set detail in place for restoration is that we have to go to the Father. How He'll arrange the plan varies from marriage to marriage and how He'll attend to the details is up to Him. I felt led by the spirit to tell my husband I was standing. He was headed to the airport to go out of the country to visit the other person. A great urge to tell Him I wasn't giving up on Him came over me and I sent an email unsure if he'd get it before the flight. He did get it and he still went on his trip. However, something very peaceful was in the midst as I had no expectations of the email changing his mind or turning him home. That's what I was led to do and the way I was led to do it. I also hugged him on Father's Day and told him he was welcome home at anytime with no questions asked. On our anniversary I gave him a card. There were days I had the desire to touch his arm and say I love you but I didn't. A time I wanted to tell him to cut the nonsense out and come home but I refrained. No one else could have instructed me to do or say these things or not say and do these things. No one on earth could have given me the peace from doing the things I did when his answers and responses were less than positive. If you allow yourself to be Spirit-led rather than emotion-led, logic-led and people-led, you'll be led to do everything you need to do. Sharon Nichols Used with permission Kris. God Bless you faithful servant!

Miracles still happen TODAY. He is the same yesterday, today and forever!

Learning from Miracles If you believe in miracles, you're probably eager to find out what messages God may be trying to communicate through them. Each miraculous event you encounter may have something profound to teach you. However, no single explanation may be enough to fully understand the miracles you experience. What if you have more questions than answers when you're trying to learn from miracles? You can use your questions to deepen your pursuit of truth and discover more about God and yourself in the process! There's nothing like miracles to inspire people to break into song with uplifting messages. Here are five songs about miracles that remain popular with listeners. After you read about them, why not listen to them and enjoy the sense of hope that they so memorably express? 1. “What a Wonderful World” sung by Louis Armstrong: a miracle Nicholas Monu / Photodisc / Getty Images This classic song describes life’s miraculous moments so simply and sweetly that it has the power to move any listener to tears: "I see trees of green/Red roses, too/I see them bloom/For me and you/And I think to myself/What a wonderful world." 2. “When You Believe” sung by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey: This tune from the soundtrack of the movie Prince of Egypt expresses the faith that miracles can happen even in the most challenging circumstances: "There can be miracles/When you believe/Though hope is frail/It’s hard to kill/Who knows what miracles/You can achieve/When you believe/Somehow you will/You will when you believe." 3. “Miracles” sung by Jefferson Starship: This song does more than just entertain; it expresses a heartfelt plea to believe in miracles: "If only you’d believe like I believe, baby/We’d get by/If only you believe in miracles, baby/So would I." 4. “Ordinary Miracle” sung by Sarah McLachlan: This tune describes miracles as gifts that life constantly offers people to open: "It’s not that unusual/When everything is beautiful/It’s just another ordinary miracle today." 5. “Miracles Happen” sung by Myra: This song from the soundtrack of the movie The Princess Diaries urges listeners to believe that miracles do sometimes occur: "Miracles happen/Miracles happen/You showed me faith is not blind/I don’t need wings to help me fly/Miracles happen/Miracles happen."

Are you teaching YOUR Children the Lord trusted you?

A modern-day paraphrase of the Ten Commandments: The Ten Commandments or the Tablets of the Law are the laws that God gave to the people of Israel through Moses after leading them out of Egypt. In essence, they are a summary of the hundreds of laws found in the Old Testament Law and are recorded in Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21. They offer basic rules of behavior for spiritual and moral living. The following is a modern-day paraphrase of the Ten Commandments: Do not worship any other god than the one true God. All other gods are false gods. Do not make idols or images in the form of God. An idol can be anything (or anyone) you worship by giving it more importance than God. If something (or someone) has your time, attention and affections, it has your worship. It could be an idol in your life. Do not treat God's name lightly or with disrespect. Because of God's importance, his name is always to be spoken of with honor. Dedicate or set aside a regular day each week for sabbath rest and worship of the Lord. Give honor to your father and mother by treating them with respect and obedience. Do not deliberately kill a fellow human being. Do not have sexual relations with anyone other than your spouse. God forbids sex outside of the bounds of marriage. Do not steal or take anything that doesn't belong to you, unless you have been given permission to do so. Do not tell a lie about someone or bring a false accusation against another person. Do not desire anything or anyone that does not belong to you. Comparing yourself to others and longing to have what they have leads to jealousy, envy and other sins. Be content by focusing on the blessings God has given you and not what he has not given you.
