The Stand – Lessons Learned III

cropped-img_02231.png

  1. Please, James Brown please do not get caught up in what the enemy is saying to you through your spouse, mom, his mom, friend, grandparent, minister etc……but WHAT IS GOD SAYING????
  2. The only reason Peter was able to walk on water is because he kept his eyes on Jesus. The only way you will be able to walk on water in believing for the restoration of your marriage is to KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS! If you keep your eyes on what is going on around you, you will drown!
  3. Three fold cord of prayer, fasting and sowing will be necessary throughout your stand. Never go on last week’s word for your stand. That was for last week, find out what God is saying this week and every other week from now on.
  4. Adults warn children to not touch the oven because it is hot and could burn them. Restored standers tell current standers: don’t go looking for things (emails, phone numbers, and his /her car) because you will find them and the information will hurt your feelings and make you feel like giving up.
  5. God is working on you FIRST. The situation that occurred is just a symptom. God is trying to get out of you what he put in you. Stop fighting the process, you and anyone connected to you will get worn out! Your arms are too short to box with God so forfeit your will that you created and say Lord Your Will be done!
  6. Your spouse is not your source. God is! Isaiah 54:5 “For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. For the Lord has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Like a youthful wife when you were refused,” Says your God.”
  7. The enemy really does not have to do anything. The enemy knows you will open your big mouth in anger and do it for him. 🙂 #learntokeepquiet
  8. God is a jealous God and maybe just maybe your situation is not because of the devil but because you saw your spouse as God and God interrupted the relationship.  Get your vertical relationship right first and the horizontal will follow #IJS 🙂
  9. A soft answer turns away wrath.  I don’t care what he/she, ow/om says respond with kindness. LOL it really works. They end up madder but you will have peace!
  10. The covenant of marriage is not something that you try on and take back because you don’t like how it fits. You may have to gain “spiritual” weight to wear it or lose “spiritual” junk to fit it.
