30 Days of Praise … Day 9 – God Fulfills His Word!

Welcome to “30 Days of Praise!” Every once in a while I go into a month long journey of fasting, praying and praising. It helps me re-commit my life to Christ, keep my priorities in order, slow down from the craziness of everyday life and take time to really listen to what God wants to tell me. I am always amazed and excited where my journey takes me, and this time I will be journaling everyday and sharing my experiences with you.

Day 9~
A friend of mine has been coming to our church for the past 7-8 years. She has been standing for God by herself and trying to teach her son about Jesus while her husband has remained an unbeliever. I’m sure it has not been easy and I’m sure there were days when it felt that her husband would never walk where she is walking. But last night an amazing thing happened. Her husband and son were both baptized in the precious name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission (removal) of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost”

She got re-baptized with them and they dedicated their lives and family to the Lord. It was so beautiful to witness God bringing this family together and fulfilling his promise.

1 Corinthians 7:13 “And the woman that hath a husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to live with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified(made holy) by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean, but now they are holy”

Because she stood strong for the Lord she allowed His light to shine through her, and 8 years later her husband decided that he wants to know this Jesus that she has been serving! I wanted to share this testimony with you as HOPE that just because it doesn’t look like the poeple around you are watching, believe me they are! And just because your husband, wife, kids, neighbors, parents etc… don’t understand your faith now, keep holding on! God will prick their hearts and show them His love! Just keep standing and believing!
