Testimony

This testimony begins with recognizing the bitterness and resentment a friend had in her heart for her husband. As she sit and listen to her Pastor teach last Sunday morning, and he simply said,"you need to stop being angry with your husband." She told me that she knew he wasn't talking about her. He continue his message for the morning and never mentioned it again. But she thought about it, repented and went up for prayer.

She called me the next day to talk. As always I gave her a scripture to confess and two things to do (1) Say the scripture daily (2) Change your confession regarding your husband. You should be speaking the Word of God over him daily.

Sister Jacqueline shared this testimony with me a coffee time.
I was glad because I was working on a project for my single friends. Apostle Paul said we should set our goal to please God.(2 Corinthians 5:9). We know there are different ways we can look at a marriage. Daily, we need to consider what we do and say and ask. Am I pleasing Jesus Christ or myself? It makes you think about the relationship.

Instead, most of us ask, Will this satisfy me? How can I be fulfilled? What will make me happy? I wonder what will happen if we asked this question. What suggestion, ideas and thoughts would please God in my marriage today? If we are to live out the New Covenant, we need to follow the words of Apostle Paul: "Those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again"(2 Corinthians 5:15NIV).

Just wanted to share a true testimony today. It's my prayer that someone would be blessed. Annie Dennis Eskridge, author of Sin Abides...www.ruthplace.com

One Marriage Under God by H. Norman Wright

By now most of you know that I volunteer my time with various Support Groups. One that's so dear to my heart is Engaged/Marriage Support. We discuss every area that are involved in a God ordained marriage. Well reading various books has played an important role. Today, I'm focusing on Author Wright's book...One Marriage Under God.

Our culture isn't only indifferent to marriage, but a bit hostile. It's no longer say that marriage is a good thing. The problem isn't a glitch in space but an attack on the foundation of the traditional family. We must keep in mind that marriage is a specific earthly example of God's eternal covenant with us. God doesn't quit and He doesn't want an imperfect married couple to quit either. The eye opener written by best selling author and educator H. Norman Wright cuts through the cultural confusion. Then, clarifies the institution of marriage as God originally created it,a beautiful, committed, eternal bond. The only option for anyone who's ever said I do: make it work, no matter what. This particular book will help you see things from God's perspective. Reading this book will be one of the best thing that you'll ever do for your marriage. I highly recommend this book. It can be purchased at your local Christian bookstore. Annie Eskridge, author of Sin Abides...www.ruthplace.com or email areskridge@sbcglobal.net
