I LOVE CONVINCING EVIDENCE!

God absolutely blows my mind! I wanted to share an update with you from a story I shared over a year ago. I was telling you about a friend of mine whose husband left her for a women he was training at his gym. I may not have given you all the details, but suffice it to say it was devastating. I prayed with her, cried with her, and cast out demons and soul ties with her! I have never been leaned on that much spiritually since I've been saved. But what I know about God (or, what convincing evidence he's shown me about his ways), I know. I shared with her everything God had revealed to me about believing that this will work out for your good. I also know that your trial will come out on the other side exactly how you claim it will be.

I shared this with one of you at one of our gatherings when I said don't focus on what you see right in front you. You decree how you want it to end and wait on God to make it so. All we have to do is walk in love in the situation to give no place to the enemy and God will take care of the rest. When you live this way it feels like you are literally ignoring what your physical eyes see and even what you my hear or feel. Guess what? You are. That's what living by faith looks like.

So, back to my story. I told my girlfriend just this. I only asked her one question the day she called me barely able to get the words out that he left her last night. I said, "How do you want this trial to end?" She said that she wanted her marriage back. So I told her to decree it to be so no matter what she may witness until the day he comes back. There is no time requirements on God. So we don't know when he will do it, but by covenant we can definitely know how. I told her right then to claim it, no matter how it felt right now. She did, and begin to ask me a million questions about how this works.

I explained to her that now that she has spoken over her husband she needed to tell me how do you live everyday when you know your husband is coming back? She said you just do what you need to do everyday until then. Just keep living. I let her know that this is the hardest way to go through something, but this is God's will for how you go through while trusting him. So I told her to enjoy her time off from being a wife, go cut you hair and take care of the kids. That was about 2 years ago. Two years with times of gut wrenching crying like the day he served her with divorce papers and again on the court day when he looked triumphantly in her face and said he couldn't wait to get the divorce over.

But I kept telling her that it really doesn't matter if he divorces you when you're not focused on what you see. Just keep living! As a matter of fact, spruce of the house in expectation, go to the gym and work out if you want, just live. Her husband went on a month later to marry the other women. But we stayed on course with our decree. Our prayers were led by God. He showed us that we needed to brake the strongholds over her husband's mind, we cast down the leviathan spirit filled with pride, we loosed the soul tie between them, and the final prayer was for him to see this woman for who she really was. We even prayed for the other woman because she was fooled by satan too and will be devastated when her husband goes back to his real wife! We were praising God all the way through as we witnessed God's work little by little.

Every prayer came to past and the final straw for her husband was the other night when he came over to see his ex-wife and tell her that God was doing a complete turn around in him and he was finally listening for the first time in ages. He told her that he didn't think he knew what love was before, but now he does. He told her he realized he always loved her and he was mad that satan had tricked him out of his marriage and he wanted to come back home!!!! He said he was ready to do counseling or whatever it took to come home.

She called me crying, amazed and mad at this man. We laughed and laughed to see how God moved. It took a little over 2 years, but it happened. Her friends that have witnessed this whole thing have been stunned at how she's handled it all. Some friends have told her that sometimes she looks like she is glowing with peace. She was! That's what you look like when it's out of your hands and in God's. You decreed what will happen and now you just walk in peace until it does.

Until next time,
