MARRIAGE IS THE PLATFORM FOR GOD’S GLORY
My 3rd person out of 10 that I would like to thank during this season of Passover is my husband. What God put together, let no man separate (Mark 10:9). At the beginning of our marriage, it did not appear that it was founded on God, but when the Holy Spirit began to flow in my life during the marriage I had to think twice. My thoughts at the time was based on what people around me was saying which was conflicting with what God was saying. I had to listen and be obedient to what came from God. Through my husband’s love, God has redeemed me back into the platform of marriage to water the seeds that was planted in the first marriage, but did not take root. My husbands love is a reflection of the scriptures Ephesians 5:25-33. Just like God placed Adam and Eve in the garden, he placed my husband in my life so I would listen and reflect from the spiritual image that he physically created in our home. Prior to meeting him, I was not a good listener. My husband is the physical manifestation of the image of God, and I am part of that image through the spirit. The physical image and presence that he set up in the home was to provide the basic needs for the structure of our family. Through his basic needs, the word of God took root and began to grow to produce fruit. In my first marriage, I met Christ.
In my second marriage, I was redeemed. I have a lot to be grateful and thankful for during this Passover Season. Marriage is the platform that fulfills God’s glory on the earth. My husband is the Boaz that God trusted to help me fulfill his promise and Will for my life. My husband automatically set up the physical stable environment for protection and security for me to birth God’s vision and fulfill his Will. He allowed the word of God to flow through me to become visible. He allowed me to be myself in the home without shutting down my spirit. He allowed me to do this in the four walls of our home. He supports the writing of the vision. I am understanding what the spirit of the Lord is saying to me at this appointed time. I am absorbing everything that I could only talk about in the past, but now I am experiencing the fullness of who the Almighty God is in my life and in others. Christ and his angels are present and watching everything right now in the world. I saw this day 7 years ago, but it was in dreams and visions that hadn’t manifested. Plus, no one would have believed me since I didn't have the appropriate credentials.
TRANSITION THROUGH THE DARKNESS
The 1 job that I was terminated from in 2013 and 3 jobs in 2016 pushed me out of a career without cause. They were operating from the law that stated, “at will” and they can terminate employees without cause. 3 of the jobs leadership denied me unemployment benefits. All three stated that I violated the Standard of Conduct in the Employee Handbook, but after providing extensive factual documentation to the Department of Labor, the 3 denials were overturned so I could receive my unemployment benefits. I wasn't going against authority. I was following the law. The mind of Christ in me was uplifting the integrity of the law, but the leaders pressing against me were uplifting their standards. I was fighting from a place of Victory in Christ.
What happened was wrong, but I had no defense within the system that represented liberty, freedom and justice. It has been extremely difficult with finding a job because every employer wanted to know my employment history. This boxed me in a corner that did not allow me to find suitable employment. When I told the truth about my employers, I received no job responses. If I wanted to stay in the same line of work, I needed the experiences from the jobs, so I continued to keep them on my resume and application. I walked in the truth until a door opened. When the door opened for a position, it was in a job I had no experience, but I was passionate to do because it was all about Wellness. I accepted the job, and this is where I met my husband who I did not know was the Boaz that would help me elevate God’s vision. God strategically planned for me to be in the right place and at the right time to meet my Boaz. I am grateful that the jobs dismissed me from employment because I was able to align myself with God's will for my life and spend time with God to birth his vision for my life. I also met my Boaz.
MY BOAZ
This marriage started when I was gleaming in his field at a Natural Food Market in 2017. He noticed me like Boaz noticed Ruth when she was gleaming in his field (Ruth 2). When the world system shut me out, God gave me favor with my husband to shut me in a home so I could birth God’s vision. My husband stated to me “You are my destiny”. We are suppose to be together at this time, and our paths was destined to cross. He demonstrated the agape love that I thought I knew. When I was pregnant with our son, he knew and agreed to the name Josiah which God provided to me in January of 2015. He supported everything that God said except my old dominant, aggressive, judgmental attitude that jumped in the way at times causing strife in the marriage. I had to constantly repent and turn from these behaviors in my marriage to move forward with God's vision. God was chipping away at my character little by little until I submitted to the character of Christ. My husband was the stable force that God placed in the earth to allow me to fly around in a box like a caged butterfly bumping into the wall until the day of my release. God was not going to release me until his timing, and I am still working towards the release date. These blogs are my evolution to be who God ordained for me to be from the foundation of the earth. They have encouraged me through my dark times.
MARRIAGE IS GOD’S PLATFORM
This platform was built on God’s word. I had to submit to corrections through my husband’s spirit. I had to humble myself and be quiet when he corrected my behavior. I had to pray and ask God to help me, so the next time the problem occurred, the Holy Spirit helped me. I thank God for my Boaz because he teaches through his verbal, nonverbal and physical communication. He has feelings. I just can’t say anything to him. I had to shut down the old disrespectful attitude that sometimes reared its head because I use to be a strong, independent woman with no defined boundaries with my words. I had to take full responsibility for my behavior, emotions and attitude even when I thought I was right. I couldn't just transfer my feelings unto him like a doormat and expect him to just except my ways. Marriage doesn't work that way, but that is how I learned in the past which was in error. "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things" (1 Corinthians 13:11). Corrections is how we operate in love and grow into a beautiful garden together. He is made in God’s image through his character and righteousness. He does the right thing by God and the family. His emotions have taught me how to submit my ways to Christ so I do not repeat the same cycles in my life. I don’t want to repeat a broken marriage. I am learning how to respond in unconditional love and not criticism, judgement, harmful words or blame that doesn’t have a place in the home. I had to put on my shoes of peace so the change within me could take root in wisdom. I had to dig deeper to shine for God.
SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND
My husband allowed me to dig down deep to get the diamond in the rough places. I was able to be cleansed through the word of God. I could fix myself in the environment that my husband created.
No matter how crazy I looked, he loves me. No matter how my physical looks or body changed, he loves me. He created my BEvolution LLC logo in 2017 when we met because he believed in what God was saying to me. I thank him for being the force in my life to push back the darkness in me so my light could arise and shine.
I have learned to fight my battles in prayer and watch God answer them because this marriage taught me:
#1 – How to Put on my Whole Armor (Ephesians 6:11-18)
#2 – How to Submit to Christ (Ephesians 5:22-24)
#3 – How to Be Still (Psalms 46:10)
