A Touch from God

While at the beach spending time with God in October, I experienced a huge revelation/breakthrough!  To begin, I will first give you a little back story.  During the time Kevin and I were engaged I was not a Christian. However, I did pray for a sign from God if marrying Kevin was the right thing or not.  Not long after, several bad things happened and I took it as a sign that it was not God’s will.  Even knowing that, or rather thinking I knew that, I married him anyway. 

The day of my wedding I was extremely anxious, nauseous and generally doing very badly!  There are pictures of me where I look like death! It was horrible!  My family and friends wrote it off as nerves.  Walking down the aisle my Dad kept telling me to “breathe, Aimee, breathe!”  I was thinking, why is he telling me that?  Come to find out, I was hyperventilating!  So, when I got to Kevin and the ceremony began, I remember feeling God’s presence.  Kevin and I wrote our own vows.  After the ceremony, people came up to us and commented how beautiful our vows were, how they could feel God’s presence, how touched they were, etc.

With all of that being said, for 5 years I have believed the lie that I married Kevin against God’s will!  And it WAS a lie!  As my friend and I sat on the balcony at the beach, we were talking about marriage and the importance of being married by a Godly person.  I told her how even though Kevin and I weren’t saved it was important to us to be married by a Godly person.  I began telling her about the day of my wedding and all of a sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks!  This revelation hit me spiritually and I felt it physically! GOD would never make me feel the way I felt on the day of my wedding!  All of that was from the enemy!  All of the feelings I had, I have only experienced when under attack from the enemy.  At the time of my wedding, I was not a Christian and did not know anything about the enemy. I truly believed it was God and that it was my punishment for going against His will!

This revelation hit me in a way I cannot begin to explain.  I immediately began crying and then laughing.  I felt physically lighter and somehow different!  The biggest lie of my marriage had been exposed and God healed me in a way only HE can!  It was as though in that moment, God reached down and touched me and I will never be the same.

Kevin was always God’s plan for me!  I am not powerful enough to change God’s plans. He knew me before He knit me together in my mother’s womb.  He knew at the beginning exactly what it would take to bring me to my knees before Him!  That is why all of this happened.  There was a part of me that believed God didn’t love me before I was saved- that His plans for me didn’t begin until I was saved.  That too was a lie!

My friends, the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy!  Jesus came so that we can have life and have it to the full! Ask God to expose the lies you are believing and step forward in truth.  It will change your life!  This revelation was an answer to prayer to expose the lies of the enemy.  At the time of praying, I did not have a CLUE that this would be God’s answer.
