Twice I asked God to show me a sign. I said Lord any kind of sign that will tell me everything is over, that my husband's relationship with the other woman is over. When I bought the things for his other child, (in my previous post), he brought those back (that same day when he came home from work) and gave it to our youngest son instead, even though it was a bit small for him. I was a bit confused... So I asked God for a sign, to be more specific.
and God answered my prayer last week... and it was not an easy one, another test of faith.
My husband told me he was going to work. after lunch my father-in-law sent a message, we need to go to their place early, so I went to my husband's place of work to fetch him, and there I found out it was his new day off and he didn't went to work.
Was I mad? Yes I was! I had a very good idea where he was.
When I came home, a few minutes later he came home with two small plastic bags of his things. In my anger I was crying and I yelled at him, asking him to leave and thrown his clothes on the floor... I was not able to control myself anymore. When I accepted him back, I made sure that I have told him i will never compromise (he had the idea of having 2 families before, to which i said no, i find it evil and told him I am not going to accept him again if he wants something like that. Me and my children will never be partakers of such wickedness).
And now he lied again... he had abandoned us... I accepted him back... It was not easy with all that he did to me and the kids. I prayed to God at that time to help me move on, I was ready to become a single mother. But it did not happen. I can still clearly remember everything. So this time, I was really angry and telling him to leave us... He yelled back in tears saying... I am not leaving, this is where I want to stay.. over and over... I don't want to live there.... And in a low voice he said, please believe me i just took the few things i have left there... and more explanations... And he said don't push me away and he was in tears...
While i was angry and throwing clothes away, i remember Jesus when he was angry and throwing the money changer's table inside the temple... (We should not turn a blind eye to sin, when we see our loved ones sinning we should rebuke them, in my case it has gone too much already. We pray for them but we need also to tell them and show them that we don't like the sin that they are doing). I told him if I didn't found out about it early, he may do the same thing next week.
When i had cooled off, i asked God to forgive me, what I did was going to give up James 5:20. Then God said, the answer to your prayer asking for a sign... i stopped to myself, and thank God. This was an unexpected kind of answer, I was expecting something different from this.
I was still upset with my husband though for lying to me, he could have said the truth. I told him that, he said he doesn't want me to know first...
The devil had immediately put a thought in my mind... do not believe him, its all a lie...
But God clearly told me... believe and it will be so.
I believe that it is over... I believe that my husband's unfaithfulness is over. I believe that my husband's relationship with the other woman is over. i believe that my marriage and family is now fully restored.
God answered our prayers.
I thank God for restoring my marriage, there is more work to do, I know my healing will come in God's perfect time. I will forget all the pain... all that had happened. I am faithfully praying for my husband's spiritual restoration, one of the things that God had asked me to do, to help him get back (James 5:20). We have been going to church now for 3 straight weeks, me my husband and our 3 children.
I am now waiting for God's promise of prosperity... He said... "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Praise the Lord and all glory to God.
For all the things that he has done for me and my family.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, God will answer your prayers, we just have to keep holding on, never giving up on praying and in God. If it's God's will it will happen. His will is for marriages not to be broken, and if you are going through the same path that I have gone through, and want your marriage restored, keep on praying and claim your marriage restoration, it is God's will for it to be restored.
1 Peter 5:10
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
