The God Who Is Mighty To Save

It took the mighty hand of God to deliver me from my abusive marriage If it was left to me alone I would have stayed and kept hoping and praying things would get better. On 11/20/22 everything in my life changed! I no longer ‘submitted’ to my ‘husband’. I had an encounter with Jesus and I was never the same!

I was born again by the Holy Spirit of God through reading the gospel accounts in the Holy Bible. What the enemy meant for my harm, God used it for my good. The miracles, signs and wonders I experienced over the next month just made me stand in awe. I experienced the power of the Holy Spirit in mighty ways.

I just knew and was convicted that I had to leave my marital home. I could no longer stay practicing sin with my ‘husband’. I realized how much deep in sin I was in that marriage and how far from God I was.

I had this insatiable hunger for the Word of God and spent all night and day reading and studying the Bible. I had never experienced anything like that before. The Holy Spirit was leading me to and revealing the meaning of scripture to me in ways i never could have imagined. All that mattered to me was seeking God and His kingdom. Nothing else mattered to me! No husband, family, job, not even food or water. The Holy Spirit was fighting my battles for me against my ‘husband.’ I would have a scripture ready for any attack or argument from my ‘husband’. It was truly supernatural.

I read the Bible with such authority like I had never done before and I saw the demons in my ‘husband’ tremble! Oh the majestic power of God! I experienced such unexplainable joy and satisfaction of soul! I felt AlIVE for the first time in my life and I knew Jesus was alive and real like I had never thought of before.

I truly beheld the glory of God! Nothing and no one could make me go back to my sinful lifestyle.

This was just the beginning of a very long soul-shattering divorce journey but it was all worth it at the end because it only had to be God and His abundant love and amazing grace that kept me safe, sane and surviving. Well not quite sane but we will get to that later.

God delivered me from sleeping with the devil himself. I still get chills down my spine at this thought realization.

It wasn’t by my power or might, nor by my willpower that I left that marriage, because every earthly demonic force was against me but at the end I overcame and was set free by the power of God!! And for this I will forever glorify the Most High God who loves me unconditionally and rescued me from my slavery.

The Creator of heaven and earth, El Shaddai, parted seas for me to cross, moved mighty mountains, calmed raging waves and fought my battles for me as He led me out of my Egypt. God still rescues His children from their oppressors! He is the same God today, tomorrow and forever.

I cried out to God and He heard me and saved me! Psalms 50:15 Amplified Bible (AMP) “Call on Me in the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.”

I thought I loved God before but I didn’t really know Him. How can you claim to love someone you don’t really know? Moreover, I didn’t truly love Jesus because I was living in disobedience and rebellion. Jesus states in John 14:21,23,24 “The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him. Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my Word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him. The person who does not love me does not obey my words.”

As I have come to know my dearest Father in heaven and Jesus my Savior, I am in awe of Him and now I have the privilege of worshiping Him with all my heart, soul and mind. In His Holy Presence I found fullness of joy, peace beyond understanding, such abundant hope in Jesus and total satisfaction and tranquility of soul.

I found my life’s purpose in worshiping and glorifying Him and all I long to do now is live for Him and make Him smile. My testimony is how Jesus died for me, resurrected me through His resurrection, His great unfailing love for me and how He has always held me in His loving arms. I just had the noise of the world turned up too loud to hear Him guide me.

God loves me so so much and thinks so highly of me. He calls me special, precious, lovely, chosen, strong, unique and forgiven. I have been empowered by the Holy Ghost and sealed as a child of God for eternity. The profound joy of my salvation cannot be described in words.

In the midst of a bitter divorce, super broke, arrested with a mug shot online, people gossiping about me, my enemies laughing at me, estranged from my family, I still found such great peace and such fullness of joy that can only be found in His Presence. I no longer strive, I’m no longer a slave to fear, death doesn’t scare me at all because I know where I am going after this temporary life on earth. Sin no longer has power over me! The chains have been broken through the mighty blood of Jesus Amen! The Bible tells us in Romans 5:3-4 “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Hope in the Character of God, hope in His Promises and hope in His Faithfulness. Such blessed hope and assurance! “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things unseen.” Hebrews 11:1

I am being transformed to mirror my Lord and Savior Jesus every day by the sanctifying work of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Being married, my parents, family, being a mom, being a millionaire would have never satisfied my longing soul, it would have never filled the huge void in my heart. But now Hallelujah! I have found the greatest love of all. I have experienced the highest form of my Father’s Grace in Jesus and I have full assurance that I will be resurrected and live forever in heaven with the angels; worshiping my God in heaven forever with no sickness, pain, suffering, betrayal and death after my life on earth. Such glorious hope I now possess! All glory to God!

I believed the pain of the heartbreak of my divorce would literally kill me but with only God I am still alive today! He has a glorious purpose for me on this earth and when that’s fulfilled He will call me home. I found total rest in His loving arms and I truly believe and trust in His promises. This brings me such great peace because I am now yielding to the Holy Spirit and not trying by my own power or might to live life which is futile.

I was trying to earn my salvation for so long but salvation is a gift from God and I couldn’t earn it or unearn it and I don’t deserve it. “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:38. I love God so much that words can’t describe the feeling and I know He knows my heart, understands my smile and the language of my tears. I found real love in His presence and nothing compares. My heart longs to go home and see my Jesus face to face and I pray that while on earth I can spend my time in His presence praising Him and worshiping Him and doing His will for my life.

I love You Lord and I have so much to say and express because my heart is so overwhelmed with Your love, mercy, goodness and grace. Lord please help me to write this story, help me to shout my testimony from the mountaintop! I love you so much, so so much and I thank You for the privilege of knowing and loving You and worshiping You. Everyday is a day closer to getting to You so I will rejoice and be glad!! I’m so in love with You and no earthly love will ever compare now that I have tasted Your immense love for me. Your love has overwhelmed me. You are the only one who understands all of me, who knows me inside out and loves me completely despite all my many flaws. You alone can love me perfectly and unconditionally.

Worshiping Jesus Christ is the essence of my being. I love worshiping my Maker. I was made for this. Born for this.

Allow me to reintroduce myself: I am Born of God, a child of God, a daughter of Zion, a citizen of Heaven. I am Royalty, daughter of the Most High King; redeemed, justified, saved, freed, delivered and loved unimaginably. I have experienced love so undeniable. Love so wonderful! Love so pure and precious! The joy in my smile, in my soul, the perfection of it all could only be supernatural amidst the external chaos of my life currently.

With increasing knowledge of the Holiness and Grace of God, the deeper my worship becomes. Words can’t describe how much my soul loves my God. It’s like I can burst out of love! This earthly body of mine can hardly contain the love I feel in my heart towards my precious Jesus, my Savior. Love incomprehensible to my mind but a love that I feel so deeply in my heart. Nothing else matters. A love that I’ll gladly die for to live forever! I am capable of feeling this way only because He loved me first to die for me on the cross of calvary.

My whole life I was looking for this love in all the wrong places, in the wrong people but God set me apart to show me what real love is, a love that the world could never fathom of giving me. At just the right time He sent me the song “real love” by my beautiful twinny cousin Gabrielle Fomunung to remind me of His love. He also sent me the song “Perfectly loved” by Rachel Lampa and TobyMacT reminding me that He sees me as blameless in His Sight.

In Jesus I found divine healing love, the kind of love I’m crazy about, the kind of love that the entire universe can’t contain! The kind of love I have been searching for my whole life. The kind of love that can only be described as perfectly divine.

God is love and love makes the world go round it is said.

Glory be to God forever and always!! Praise Jesus!
