Buy The Prodigal Writes From His Heart
"My husband recently gave his life to God after months of separation. Our kids and I had been standing and praying that God's will be done. This past weekend he reserved a room at a hotel and we spent the entire day praying and studying the Word of God. What a blessing and a real genuine transformation." (Georgia)
"Today my absent husband told me whether I believe him or not he thinks about home every day. I believe him because I believe God's promises to me. My God is faithful to those who seek Him. Every day is a miracle and I thank Rejoice Marriage Ministries for reminding me where to look for them. Jesus is the only answer." (Louisiana)
“It seems that the devil is giving it full force these days. I am praising God, knowing that the storms will rage before the miracle appears.

I know that He is speaking to me and letting me know the storm is not over yet, but I can trust in Him.” (Texas)

"As are most I'm sure, I am most concerned about the well being of my children in the absence of my prodigal and his sinful choices. So I was greatly encouraged when my youngest child got out of bed and came running to me. "Mommy! I just heard the most amazing thing! I heard a song I've never heard before! (meaning in her head) It went, 'I am loved! I am blessed!'" I am SO grateful and humbled; even in the pain my children live in daily, they are moved by the Truth of the Spirit and can declare that they are loved and blessed! God IS good!" (Ohio)
“I have had a burdened heart as many standers have had the first few weeks of the holiday season. Today it is rainy and I awoke feeling weak in my stand. I shared this with my Lord during my morning prayer. I asked for communication with my spouse and within 10 minutes he called and his sweet voice was music to my ears. Needless to say, my gray day has turned into a sunny day within my heart. Once I was off the phone I cried and shouted praises to my Lord Jesus. He loves us so much and I truly feel blessed.” (Georgia)
"I had been praying that God would show me a sign that He wanted me to keep standing. On the way home from work I saw a rainbow. I thought how I would like to take pictures of the rainbow but I didn't have my camera and it faded. After I got home, I had to go back outside. I saw a beautiful double rainbow of which I was able to get pictures. Praise God." (Georgia)

“I have been praying earnestly for months that God would open the door for a job for me in my husband's town. Yesterday I was unexpectedly interviewed by phone by the supervisor of the job I've been claiming. He was going to recommend to my superiors that he wanted me for the job! I am awaiting my superiors' decision. On the way home I saw three trucks in succession - an Omega truck (God declares the end from the beginning, Is. 46:10), a Victory Movers truck, and a Covenant Transport truck! I just laughed and thanked God for declaring my victory that has been decided in Heaven before it is revealed on the earth! I know that marriage restoration is next!” (Georgia)
"In a recent email my husband was describing activities he saw us doing together in the future. For the first time in many months he wrote that he loved me. God is showing me in many ways that He is working on my husband and I have faith that our marriage will be restored." (Wisconsin)
"I had jury duty Monday. I was dreading it. The lady sitting next to me was very nice. She began to talk to me about marriage restoration out of the blue and shared her faith. She shared testimony of two restored marriages. Her message was God does want marriages restored. She said she would pray for us. Jury duty turned into a wonderful blessing from God and a Word from Him saying...I will restore what the enemy has destroyed. Praise the Lord." (Georgia)
“The Lord gave me a wonderful Christian friend who is also a stander. She lives in another state and the Lord continually allows her to see Covenant Transport trucks. I have been praying for the Lord to allow me to see one also. I live in a small rural community. I was on my way back to work from lunch one day last week, and while waiting to pull out from a side street, a truck pulling a trailer passed in front of me. On the back of the trailer were the words 'Disaster Relief.' I knew it was from the Lord. He is my Disaster Relief. I praise Him for His faithfulness. I know He will save my husband and restore my marriage without a doubt.” (Missouri)
"I asked my spouse to forgive me for the damage that I caused our marriage. In the past she would tell me that she would not even know where to begin to forgive me.

Praises to our Lord Jesus Christ." (Florida)

“My husband came into the house requesting to talk to me. All this time he has not been able to face or talk to me because of the guilt.

Thank You Lord for giving me a sign of your promise.” (Illinois)

I praise the Lord for this and ask for His blessing on this person." (California)
"When my husband first returned home, he told me that he was not in love with me. I have continued to pray and believe God that he would fall in love with me again and recently he has begun to call me during the day to tell me that he is thinking of me and that he loves me. He has become more affectionate. I give all honor and praise to God for this blessing because I recognize that this is all Him. I praise God for answering this prayer." (Bermuda)

“My husband called me today to tell me he fell and broke his hand. He said he just wanted me to know. He could have called the OW for compassion but he did not, he called me. This is the second time in 3 weeks that God has allowed me to be the one he calls when he is having a crisis in his life and needs someone to talk to. I have also been praying for God to provide a way to buy school clothes and my husband told me today that he was going to give me some money and both the boys money for school clothes.” (Texas)

"I have been broken, humiliated and ashamed of my husband, as I found out he has a child with the other woman. Yet I have learned how to fast and pray for my husband’s deliverance and restoration of our marriage. I am still praying and crying out to God for a 'New Beginning.' I am believing that when my husband returns we will have our son. I would never have come to know God in the way I have if this situation had not arisen and for this I am so glad." (United Kingdom)

On the drive back, I saw another one beside me on the freeway. What a wonderful feeling to share the excitement of seeing one of those trucks. God is good.” (California)

“Recently I learned that the judge issued a final judgment to end our holy union. I do not accept this, and I began to cry out to our Lord for guidance and direction for the next step. I wanted so much to give up as I was tired of struggling and suffering. However God did not allow that. My devotionals were centered around new beginnings and all things made new. While at a red light I contemplated contacting an attorney for alimony/child support then I spotted the Covenant Transport truck, which I have never seen in Georgia. God is always in control and on the throne. I know restoration is here.” (Georgia)
“The checklist for standers you sent out in “Charlyne Cares” is excellent advice. As I read it, God showed me that even with my marriage restored, and in spite of all our problems, I still need to abide by these words of advice on this checklist. Many marriages are broken up because the spouse did not heed to the advice on the checklist and got into a relationship that caused a divorce. The Internet is a dangerous place where the enemy likes to prey on those with troubled marriages and on standers. Thank you Rejoice Marriage Ministries for this checklist that I needed to be reminded of.” (Arizona)
"I am a mother that has been praying for both of my daughters' marriages. Recently one of my sons-in-law got engaged to the other person. The engagement and relationship has now been broken off. Today I went for a walk and was asking the Lord to show me a rainbow. I looked up and to my surprise there was not only a rainbow, but a double rainbow; one rainbow for each marriage." (Canada)
"After no contact from her Dad, my daughter became very frustrated again. He finally responded, but only with questions to help him with his divorce proceedings. She was hurt, but was able to reply and pour out her heart to him. The divorce questions that the enemy had used to harm us, God has turned to be an opportunity to speak love to him. Last night a check arrived to help me with her tuition, the first child support in years. Praise God, He is changing all of us." (Canada)
"This week I went for counseling with a woman who knows I am standing for my marriage. In the past I think she has doubted, but this time she had a surprise for me--the tale of another couple in an impossible situation, in which the husband just now got saved, and both are going to work on their marriage together. So now this Christian counselor says she will believe and pray with me for my marriage. Praise the Lord." (Michigan)
"I saw a church sign that jumped out at me. We read and hear 'Nothing is too hard for God.' This sign said 'Nothing is hard for God.' It struck me immediately." (Tennessee)
"I thank my God for His goodness. We went to court and the judge postponed the divorce. I now know that nothing is too hard for God. I would have given up on my stand had I not found your Ministry." (Canada)
"My husband and I separated and he has filed for divorce. This past weekend we took our kids to church for the fall festival. We had such a wonderful time and he stayed the night. I know God is moving and working on my husband to bring him home. Thank you so much for your encouragement. God is truly blessing me in so many ways." (Louisiana) A Bobservation - On the same weekend the Ministry sponsored an activity at a church school in South Florida. I could not understand why God wanted the Ministry name on a rock wall climb until reading this testimony. Now I wonder how many prodigal husbands and wives stood by that sign while their child attempted to climb. (Maybe next year I could volunteer for the dunk tank under "Dunk A Prodigal.")
"The Lord allowed a visit by my spouse. We had laughter and a great time together sharing a meal and watching a movie. My spouse also seemed more relaxed during this visit than at other times. I thank the Lord for His continued mercy upon us." (Canada)
"My in-laws invited (and paid for) a week long vacation. My mother and father in-law, along with myself and my children. We had a blast. They insisted on paying for our room and outings. God has truly restored our relationship as I was the original prodigal. I know that this has to speak volumes to my husband." (Pennsylvania)
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. Psalm 15:13-14
"My prodigal husband who is still at home sent me a text expressing his love for me. God indeed speaks to prodigals. Praise His name." (United Kingdom)
I have had hardly no contact with my husband. Yesterday he called and said he loved me and wants to get back together. The Lord is so faithful. My situation looked hopeless, but I kept going by God's Word to walk by faith and not by sight. I didn't see anything happening, but I didn't have to because God had His plan all along. I thank my Lord Jesus.” (Georgia)
“Praise God, my husband is home after being separated four months. I know that God can do exceedingly more than I can ever think or imagine, because I know God keeps His promises. Thanks for being an inspiration to me during this time.” (Tennessee)
"Greetings, yet again, from the land down under. After my letter, 'Sacred Bond' was in last Monday's Sydney paper, people were attacking me, writing in, asking what right have I to say that same sex marriage is wrong and harmful. My reply was published in Saturday's Sydney paper, under the editor's heading, 'Let's Fight The Good Fight For Marriage of Men and Women;' 'In reply to my critics, thank God for the majority. Our nation was founded on faith in the Bible. Marriage is a sacred, permanent, life-long covenant relationship between one man and one woman. This is God's perfect order, as marriage is the bedrock of stable families, strong communities, healthy society and in a nation's best interest. Let's preserve God's way of marriage, the only true and right way, between one male and one female.' I have had much support from family and friends for my public stand, and this has been an encouragement to me." (Australia)
"I've been standing for several years. The pain was too great to endure. RMM confirmed my inner longing and joy of knowing I could stand. I read 'Charlyne Cares,' books, CDs, every day. I go to church, Bible studies, pray, doing everything Charlyne teaches. Recently the pain has lifted. The love, peace and trust in God are stronger. My husband continues in the path of a prodigal but we are still married! I am able to love and pray for my husband joyfully every day. He knows he is unconditionally loved and I see evidence of this softening him. It is worth it all to learn to love this way." (Wisconsin)
"I prayed and asked the Lord to please let me know that he was working on my husband and that my husband was thinking of me. Later in the day I received a text message from my husband just to say hello. God is working on my husband." (North Carolina)
