We had 3 1/2 hours of testimonies this morning, with individuals confessing sin, repenting, and seeking forgiveness!!! Fathers restored to their wives and children, children restored to their parents, men and women sharing about returning to the Lover of their soul, Jesus Christ!! We give Him the glory for all He has done.
"I have been living in such sin that I had pushed past my conscience into... numbness. This week, God has begun to give me my conscience back. I've had so many idols in my life, and I wasn't giving God time."
Husband - "I suffer from anxiety. Actually, I use it as an excuse to get out of things. I've also suffered from depression. I didn't know what it meant to spriitually lead my wife. I have embraced so many worldly things, including pornography. I need God's help to be the man that I need to be for my family."
His wife - "I give all the glory to God for what He's doing in our lives. This past year, I have overcome an alcohol addiction and I've never known how not to lead. The Lord has shown me this week that my role is to be the wife. Not to be the strong one, but to let my husband lead."
"God has removed my bitterness, anger and selfishness. He has given me His joy!! I've lost 10 poumds on the inside!!"
"Last December, my husband left me. I thought I had good reason to be bitter and angry. I now know I have to lift God's Word above my emotions and be obedient and forgive, recognizing it's the first step to my healing."
"I have lived in total and utter darkness. Broken home. Broken marriage. Broken soul. God said to me, 'Hear my Word. Open your eyes. Put your trust in Me. I will never leave you nor forsake you.' I have been separated for 6 months, and this week, I have immersed myself in His Word. Thursday night, my wife sat beside me!! I praise Him and thank you for your prayers!!"
"I have been sexually abused. I wanted to forgive, but not from my heart. This week, God showed me that I needed to forgive from my heart, and with His help, I have done that."
We praise God that He is still in the business of redeeming and changing lives. It is our prayer that His work will never become commonplace to us. We don't want to lose the wonder of seeing His mercy poured out on undeserving sinners. Rejoice with us as you read about more trophies of His grace!
