He is a God that turns hopeless situations up side down, inside out!

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God. (M10:27)

I would like to share this Thank You by one of our Brides who completed Course 1.

The book How God can and will restore your marriage, said at the beginning that this book is guaranteed to get you out of crisis pretty much immediately and for me it sure did! My husband was adamant that he wanted a divorce and wanted to move out and just be happy. Over a couple of months of me occasionally confronting him to see if his anger had subsided and he changed his mind, he was still adamant. The only thing giving him pause was how we would handle child custody. After finding RMI and I read the book and began to apply the principles….I was now the one thinking maybe it would be better off he left to clear his head and figure out what he wants. I was no longer afraid because I knew God will take care of me and had His hand all over our situation. I became more calm and let go of my husband in my heart and during our last amicable conversation about him wanting to leave the marriage, he said he had a change of heart and no longer wanted to leave but still did not want to engage with me intimately. He pretty much lives downstairs and I upstairs. Its been 8 months living this way and though we are still on the journey, I see changes happening and I thank God that total restoration is His will and in His time He is making all things beautiful.

These testimonies in C1 were AMAZING. There were some ups and downs throughout my journey working through Course 1 because I would see a lot of testimonies but not any quite like mine. I have not come across one where a husband forgives the kind of sins I committed against him so i had to almost daily cry and repent to the Lord. As it stands I have let go of actively searching for a testimony exactly like mine and instead believe I may be the first one to pave a way for others like me…. . I believe I should not limit God by saying He cannot handle my situation. The Lord died for and forgave ALL sins - including mine. What I have not been able to handle or fix all these years, He can! I just have to believe and rest in that. How I have come to this point is by reading about His character especially in the story of David of late. I see that He is a big God. He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. He is the Almighty. He is a miraculous God. He is a compassionate God. He is a willing and able God. He is a God that turns hopeless situations up side down, inside out! He is a God who gives those who trust Him beauty and takes their ashes from them. He is a God who loves us to believe in Him and trust Him as He acts on our behalf. He is undefeated, He is a victorious God. When He declares war on His enemies they are surely dust. In my case, in my home, in my EH's life and heart, in my heart, in our marriage, in our marriage bed, in our finances, in our new home, in our union and purpose….I see God arising and ALL His enemies in and around my home scattered!

My marriage was hopeless, I tried everything these past 10years as our marriage was in trouble from day 1. Nothing helped but now I have hope at last. I believe God will fully restore my marriage and use our testimony to help and encourage others. By God's grace I would love to let young brides know of the need to live God's marriage principles from day one to avoid years/decades of pain in marriage.

Thank You so much my Lord. Finding You as my Heavenly Husband has been amazing. You are all I want, all I need. Because I have You I have all that I could ever need. Thank You so much for hearing my cry and coming to my rescue. You are brilliantly bright, You shine bright before me every day. I love You so much and thank You for saving my life!!!!!……x

Your life will never be the same. God will heal your whole life as you come to know Him for who He really is. He will comfort you and hold your hand in this journey and as you look to Him, your face will be radiant. May God bless you and cause Your whole life to radiate His glory here on. I love you sister and all the best.x
