Since last Fall 2014, I've been working on getting my soul wounds healed, as well as praying for my marriage and family. We all have soul wounds and I figured me getting my wounds healed first would avail my family the best. It's amazing when those wounds are healed how your life changes, but not only that, but the lives of others changes.
The enemy, Satan, does not want our soul wounds to be healed. In fact, the Bible says that the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy our lives - that is, those of Christians. When our souls are wounded, we have those things in common with the enemy, giving the enemy legal right to mess with our lives. As I think of Jesus, He had power when He prayed for people, they got healed.
The same Dunamis Power that is in Jesus is the same power that resides in me. But when I have things in common with the enemy, I cannot access that Dunamis Power. It is through repentance, applying what Jesus did on the Cross for me (and all of mankind), and the cleansing of His blood for my sins (atoning) that I can be washed clean of these sins. BUT, it is Jesus' Resurrection Dunamis Power that heals the wounds caused by those sins.
I am seeing more changes in my life in a good way more and more. There is acceleration here and it's because of this Dunamis Power that heals my wounds. I've also been doing this for my husband and kids. I've done this more for my husband than the kids, and thus, I am seeing greater changes in my husband.
In fact, there is this miraculous sweetness and love in our relationship that is blossoming. I never got to enjoy this in my other marriages (yes, unfortunately I've been divorced twice). God is transforming my marriage right now before my eyes. He has been healing our soul wounds. My husband commented the other day that he was so surprised that I did not procrastinate or make excuses about getting rid of something in our home. I pretty much did it immediately that day.
It is the power of God transforming our marriage to make it what He wants it to be, a couple who draws closer and closer in love with each other. I love when he calls me from work and we talk like two giddy teenagers. Or, when he leaves for work, I am happy that he loves his job and work, but sad that we will be apart. And, when he comes home, my heart leaps for joy. He looks forward to talking with me, with seeing me, with hearing my voice, with coming home to me.
We enjoy parenting together, as well as cooking, going places, our weekly dates.
I was so wounded in my prior marriages and even beginning this one, so many wounds. But by the grace of God, He has sustained us through those challenging times to bring us to this. And, in fact, this is just the beginning. When my husband's soul wounds are healed, as well as the kids and all of mine, I cannot imagine how sweet it will be, and the power we will have to be able to move mountains.
When we pray for someone, like for healing, they will get healed. When we pray, it will be done because what we are praying for others for, we will not have anything in common with the enemy and the prayers will do something. It is powerful because I want to not only see the lives of my family and I changed, but many others, to get healing for their souls and for it to spread. For revival to come, because we need it in this dark age.
So we keep persevering and take off everything that hinders our walk with the Lord.
