“So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” Matthew 19:6
"Yesterday I was in a large city trying to find a business that I have never been to. Driving right towards me was my prodigal. His job takes him all over the city. I waved to him and he actually waved back, unlike last time. Only God could have orchestrated all of this." (Minnesota)
"As I was praying about my marriage restoration the Lord revealed to me through a sign that said, 'I am the way, the Truth and the Life!' As I was continuing driving, what are the odds that I would see my first name and my prodigal's on a campaign poster board together? Yet I saw the big poster on a lawn. I guess this is God's way of telling me that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life for the healing and restoration of my marriage. Praise God!" (California)
“I just want to testify that OUR GOD is omnipotent and is EVERYWHERE! This season of my life has brought me closer to Him. I know that He is not a respecter of persons. Recently my prodigal said that he wanted a divorce, that his mind is split. He said he hopes I find a good godly man. That he believes I will be married to a new man soon. I thank God because HE speaks in visions and dreams. My husband was agreeing with me without knowing it. Yes, he is the godly man with a new heart and spirit that I will be married to until I die. Praise God that He is the God of the Impossible. Thank you, RMM for keeping me focused.” (New Jersey)
"Praise to God alone. The other day my phone needed to be charged and I had left my charger at work. I prayed and asked God if I should call my husband and tell him I left my charger at work in case he called. I felt led to do so. I remember Charlyne had a situation much like that where she had to tell Bob something. I wanted to hear Bob's words on how he felt and thank God it was in Tuesday’s devotional." (Oklahoma)
"To God be all the glory! My husband called saying he wanted to have a meeting. I nervously went after praying with my pastor and believed God for whatever may come. He told me that he was 100% sure the other relationship was over. Praise God. He called a few days later saying he wanted to come over and just hang out after he got his things from the far land. Even though he is still brokenhearted, I know that my God is able, my marriage is restored and I'm claiming the victory!" (Washington)
“Six months ago, I moved with my daughter 400 kilometers away from my husband. I wanted to start a new life after my husband moved in with the other woman. But God wanted me to pray for my marriage. I was unable to find work and couldn’t work due to my daughter’s illness but God has always provided good supernaturally. God told me to do what my husband says. He wanted us to come back to our home. Two weeks ago, we moved again, and I got three job offers, and I wasn’t even looking. Praise be to God.” (Germany)
"Thank you, Lord for answered prayer. Like many standers, I miss my in-laws very much as they stopped communication with me. This week, totally out of the blue, I was blessed by a telephone call from my sister-in-law, whom I haven't spoken to in over a year. She told me God had placed me on her heart and she felt led to call me! We were able to have a wonderful conversation. To God be the glory." (United Kingdom)
I thought in my heart, “God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed.” Ecclesiastes 3:17
"On Father's Day my husband and I went to breakfast. I walked out at first but then God spoke to me that my husband and I had set up worthless idols in our heart and God was destroying, not to worry that He would restore. I was so encouraged and went back to enjoy the time God allowed us to spend together. I am standing for the rest of my life for Jesus." (Texas)
“The Lord speaks to me through trucks and license plates, bumper stickers and street signs. I've seen Covenant Transport trucks, Restoration trucks, Rainbow trucks and mud flaps. Lately I've been praying swiftly and have seen a Swift truck, a Speedy Delivery van, and a Pronto car. Today I wasn't looking, I was running a quick errand. I saw the best truck ever – ‘Project Welcome Home,’ Thank You God!” (Illinois)
"Your devotional for today was the answer from the Lord Jesus for me. Thank you. You have no idea what this brought to me. All I can do right now is to praise the power of my Lord Jesus." (Connecticut)

"God opened the door for my husband and me to begin communicating. He shared how bad things are between him and the other woman. He invited me to celebrate a family birthday. We had a wonderful day and ended the night praying together. A week ago it felt hopeless. Praise God, in the twinkling of an eye He can change a prodigal's heart." (Michigan)
“so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
"I thank the Lord for enabling me to resume my stand. I was a stander for a year before my prodigal came home. He left after an year and was soon telling me He was in love with someone else. I had enough and gave up my stand and found someone else also. I was not in peace and the Holy Spirit was speaking to me every minute. God enabled me to leave this relationship after several months and now I have resumed my stand. My husband has started coming around more and has asked me out on a couple of dates." (Tanzania) (PS from Pompano - This is one of the "detour roads" Charlyne warns about in her teaching.)
"I know the Holy Spirit is telling my prodigal that his actions are sin. I received a humorous Mother's Day card in the mail from my husband. Humor was and remains a part of our marriage. I totally believe my husband knew I would get it." (Wisconsin)
I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass. Isaiah 48:3
"I recently received confirmation of the affair my husband is having. Days have gone by since then and God has brought me to an incredible place in my stand. I've been receiving strength all week. My God is so faithful." (Florida)
“Give glory to GOD, my husband returned home. GOD did the miracle; He took off the blinders of his eyes! It is incredible what the Lord has done with His son. He came home repentant and the biggest thing is that my husband says that the Lord has delivered him of memories; he doesn't remember the OW . He says it is as if he was in a journey and in the middle of it he fell asleep. I am very thankful for the ministry, may the Lord bless you even more. God is faithful; let’s not faint and keep waiting for the promises of our God. He doesn't change what He had said.” (Japan)
“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live longin the land the Lord your God is giving you.” Exodus 20:12
"My husband left and we have no contact. I have been praying and fasting. Feeling very down and desperate I cried out to God to give me a sign. I was waiting for a large van to park that a group of people were unloading. They had on matching jackets. On the back in large letters was 'Trust in Jesus.' The message was loud and clear." (New York)
"To God be the glory. My husband came home suddenly a few days ago. God is good." (Texas)
"My prodigal husband and I have not spoken in weeks. He and our son attended a birthday party. He signed a beautiful card with our son's name and our names together. I believe he still sees a future for us. Praise you, God, for the work You have begun in us." (California)
“My prodigal contacted me at 2:00 A.M. in the morning by text. Just last month he had me blocked from calling or texting. He called to ask me a question and then offered some help with job opportunities. I praise God that we were able to communicate.” (Tennessee)
"I received six gifts from my prodigal for Christmas. I thank God for my being with my prodigal and our child on Christmas and New Year's Days. Thank You, my Lord Jesus Christ." (California)
"I have been standing for my prodigal husband for many years. Last night after I cried out to the Lord to receive contact from my husband he called for the second time in all those years. He said he loved me and I told him I love him more today than ever and I will continue to wait and pray for him. I have no doubt my mighty God is working on the other side of the mountain. Praise God for His kept promises." (Montana)
"I have been separated from my spouse and young son for two years. A year ago they both moved out of state. After much prayer and seeking the Lord He has heard my weeping and answered my prayers, and has brought my son back to live with me suddenly and unexpectedly. I wait and put my trust in my Lord that in His time my spouse will return also. PTL for His faithfulness." (Washington)
“I submitted a prayer request to this website to be removed from a GPS tether so that I could care for my three children. The tether was not removed, but I was granted permission to take my children to and from school, doctors, dentists, school events and meetings, and most importantly, to church! Praise be to God! Thank you for your continued prayers and support as I stand for the salvation of my husband, the restoration of my marriage and family, and the cancellation of a pending divorce. Amen.” (Michigan)
"When my husband got orders to a new military duty station, I asked God if I was to move with him. After we moved, my husband asked me to move out. With no family and friends around, I relied on God and asked Him to provided for us. After many struggles, God provided a home for us. I was able to rent a townhouse with no job. God is faithful." (Pennsylvania)
"This was another year spending Christmas without my prodigal. The rain was pouring hard as my kids and I were on our way to visit my family for the holidays. That didn't discourage me. Along the way, we saw 2 Covenant Transport trucks pass by. To top that, we saw 2 full rainbows in the middle of the storm. I praised the Lord as I know this was His sign for my marriage restoration." (California)
"My husband and I went out on our first date after being separated for years. I asked him if he would like to see the movie 'Fireproof' and he said yes. He liked it very much and was touched by it. I believe it is just the beginning for us." (California)
"I thank God because He has given me peace about my finances and I am trusting Him to continue to provide for me and our children. Also my pastor is helping me start a group for women standing for their marriages which I will be leading. I am humbled to have this opportunity even if my marriage is not yet restored. I stand on Jesus my Rock." (Canada)
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Psalm 20:6-8
"My spouse and I have been divorced for years. I have been standing for only a few. My car had been in the shop this past week. I hesitated to call my prodigal, but the Lord led me to anyway. I called and asked him if he could take me to school. He agreed. It was nice to be in the same car and I even got a few smiles out of him. Thank You, Lord for loving us enough to show us how mighty You truly are." (Tennessee)
“I feel like my stand gets progressively harder, yet the Lord is always there whenever I feel I cannot go on. This week I got an email from RMM at a critical moment when I was crying and didn't think I could make it to my internship. Praise God, He even sends people to support us at troubled times. This weekend I felt the Lord saying my miracle, my suddenly, is coming soon, and that my suffering phase is over. Praise God, I am happy my blessing is coming. I pray all of your marriages feel and know God's healing during this time, and I'm agreeing with you in prayer for full restoration.” (Arizona)
"I had a problem with shoddy dental work that required a complete re-do of a multi-tooth bridge. I went to the Lord, and then approached my former dentist about the problem without being nasty or demanding. He insisted he did nothing wrong. I submitted the matter to arbitration and trusted the Lord for the result. I was awarded the full amount of the dental work. The Lord gave me the verse 'When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.' Praise God." (New Jersey)
“‘They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.’ I am humbled that after a night of desperate tears, my God proved me wrong for doubting Him because I could not see what was happening on the other side. My devotional this morning was on1 Corinthians 13 on'love never fails.' I felt led to text my husband that I love him. He said he is not sure about us getting back together but that he rededicated his life to Christ and prays for our son and me. I thank God for His mercy and pray for strength to hold on and not give up.” (Kenya)
“I have been praying for God to bring my husband home. It has been many years since my husband left to be with someone else. He has missed so many Christmases but this year he spent two days with us. He says he is happy with his new life but he knows I still pray for his return. He was here and I could tell he has missed his family. God brought him home, even if only for a few days. That was just a confirmation to me that God is working on his heart. God is good! What a wonderful Christmas gift for me from God Almighty. I know that God is still working on the other side of the mountain and on his heart. To God be all the glory. I love you Jesus.” (Texas)
"The LORD's grace and mercy have sustained me in a weary land. Recently my spouse, other family, and friends joined me to celebrate an important milestone in my child's life. My spouse and I got along fine. He even phoned me after getting back to his home to let me know he had arrived safely and to thank me for planning the celebration. Several days following the event I plunged into the valley of confusion, revisiting the concern of 'how long, O LORD shall I wait.' But that very day the LORD encouraged me, first with the thank-you phone call, and out-of-state licence plates (two on the same day), and scriptures. I'm clinging on to our LORD for encouragement. I especially need His help with my refreshed observations of the particulars of our "crazy cycle" (see Dr. Emerson Eggerichs: Love & Respect). My God is able to save." (Canada)
“My marriage was dead. I know, because I killed it. I was a horrible husband. I neglected my wife for years. The separation/custody papers were executed. We got our own apartments and separation towards ultimate divorce began. First, God changed my heart seven weeks after separation. He gave me love for my wife that I never had. But she moved on. She would not even consider reconciliation. She started a new relationship and was seeking permanence in it. I began standing for our marriage. For three months, God did miracles in me. He gave me the strength and promises I needed to persevere, and to understand how important my marriage was to Him. And then, suddenly, in the face of mountainous circumstances, my wife ended the other relationship and let me back into her life. Oh, the absolute glory of our God! His promises to heal our marriage were bigger than any circumstances. As we walk towards healing, I praise God for the miracle of moving the mountains of our two hearts. Holy, holy, holy is He.” (North Carolina)
"But I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you." Jeremiah 7:23
“Praise to the Lord God Almighty! My husband is home! The events leading up to him coming home were not the best but through that God had a plan and brought him home. He has not completely given his heart back to the Lord but I know that it will come and we will be attending church together very soon. Through this trial in my life, I have obtained such a wonderful relationship with my Savior, I just can't explain it. Thank you Rejoice Marriage Ministries, you have truly been a blessing in my stand for my marriage restoration." (North Carolina)
The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. Psalm 25:14
“Praise the Lord! God has surrounded me with powerful prayer warriors. They don't ask for details, they just believe and pray. God even placed someone on the other side of the mountain to stand in the gap on behalf of my family and claim ‘God hates divorce.’ I thank You Jesus!” (Illinois)
"Praise the Lord as He is so good. I got fired in a reorganization of my company. Praise the Lord my company offered me a new job that is even above my level. I will still be able to pay for my house and give my children a life without worries. Praise the Lord as He never fails." (Netherlands)

“Today as I was driving I kept saying, ‘I am going to trust God ,’ over and over again. Then a restoration truck passed me. Thank You Jesus! But the amazing part is when I came to the stoplight, the license plate on the car in front of me read 'IN GOD WE TRUST!' AMEN!” (Illinois)
