FD Chapter 1. Whose Trust IS the Lord

Dear Beloved Brother or Sister in Christ,

Many people have written to our ministry when facing divorce. So many continue to call and write our ministry DESPERATE for help. To be ready to help the masses of people who come, often in a panic, I have compiled many of our resources together in this book.

If you come to something you have read before, read it again. The more you “renew your mind” the more you will replace the lies of the world with the faith in your Lord. The more faith, the more the fear you are experiencing will fade away. And what will remain will be the “peace that passes ALL understanding”!

In addition, NEVER skip reading the Scripture verses, even if you do know them by heart. The verses will do something wonderful to your spirit. There is a “washing of water with the word” that will cleanse your mind, soul and spirit. It will put out the fire of fear. Begin by reading this:

“By wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established
And by knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.”
Proverbs 24:3-4

Through this book, I believe that you will gain the wisdom, understanding and knowledge you will need to do “the right thing” and release your attorney.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6

The wisdom gained by reading this book, ESPECIALLY the Scripture verses, will help you to know “what” to do. The understanding comes AFTER you have obeyed; the knowledge helps you with discernment knowing how to handle the next crisis and how to help guide others.

Releasing your attorney will take faith and trust in the Lord, which I believe you will gain through reading the MANY awesome testimonies of those who chose to trust in their Lord and He faithfully “delivered them from ALL their distresses”!

“Thus says the LORD,
Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes flesh his strength,
And whose heart turns away from the LORD.
For he will be like a bush in the desert
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A land of salt without inhabitant.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD
And whose trust IS the LORD.
For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear WHEN the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:5-8.

I write this letter to you in the BOLDNESS that came from watching God DELIVER me (and so many others I have had the privilege to minister to). Our Lord and Savior delivered us all from the “lion’s mouths” from the “fiery furnace” as He led us “through the valley of the shadow of death” of attorneys and divorce papers. I understand because I was served my papers at my door by the sheriff, I had lies on my divorce papers, my papers stated an amount of child support that would not meet the needs of my 4 small children. I knew that by NOT going that I would be “losing by default” and I, too, tried to “walk by faith” when everyone, Christians and pastors, were telling me to “get a good lawyer to protect myself and my children.”

I KNOW what I am asking you to do will be terrifying, but nothing I share in this book is something I have not lived through, nor many others just like you. We all faced it with trepidation in our hearts. But as we KNOW from reading Scriptures – our God was FAITHFUL and more POWERFUL than any attorney or any spouse who wanted to divorce us. You will experience the same deliverance if you simply trust Him.

Keep your eyes on the One who can save you from destruction. Don’t choose to allow FEAR to keep you from the blessings of peace and a restored marriage. Fear is the enemy’s way of pushing Christians to do what he KNOWS will lead to their destruction. You will never gain your MIRACLE if you operate in fear. Trust, faith and OBEDIENCE to His Word will bring about RESTORATION.

May the Lord bless you with a RESTORED MARRIAGE as you release your attorney and take the hand of Jesus!

Rejoicing in His faithfulness,

Erin
