Good evening and welcome back to Praying for Them, your God Fearing Spouse. This is episode 10 from surrender to transformation. Amen. I thank you all for going through chapter 3 with me. I hope you all have got something out of it. Because after I get through this episode, this will close out chapter 3. And then we'll move into chapter 4 next week. Amen. So today I want you to take a deep breath because today episode is not just another episode, right? Today is the place where everything we've been talking about comes together. Surrender, obedience, purification, release. All of it leads to right now. Amen. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. God, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for every step of this journey. For every moment you have corrected. For every moment you have shaped. For every moment you have carried us, oh God, we thank you. We thank you, oh God, for surrender. We thank you, oh God, that you have given us the spirit to overcome. We thank you, oh God, that we are in a season of being purified. So you may get the glory for what you're doing in our life, Heavenly Father, and in our marriages and the ones to come, Heavenly Father. Today we ask you to complete the work you have started in us, O God. Transform us fully. And God, we lift up our spouses to you right now, oh God. Let this same transformation that we're going through right now be happening in their life too, oh God. We pray. We know when that time comes and you elevate us to a higher level as a couple that will be aligned to your will and your way. We thank you, oh Lord, for this time. We thank you, oh Lord, for this journey. We thank you, oh God, for a surrendering spirit, God. We give you the glory, we give you the honor, and we give you the praise right now. Amen. Amen. There is a place in your walk with God where surrender stops feeling like a battle and it starts becoming your identity, right? You don't fight it as much anymore. Thank you, Lord. You don't resist it as much anymore. Thank you, Lord. You don't question it as much anymore. Because you've lived through enough seasons to know that God can be trusted, right? This is the place of transformation. Not because everything around you changed, but because you changed. And that's the real miracle. When your heart is no longer the same, when your thoughts are no longer the same, when your reactions are no longer the same, when your desires begin to align with God's will, you start to realize surrender was never about loss. It was always about becoming, becoming who God wants you to be, becoming who God created you to be, becoming emotionally grounded, becoming spiritually aware, becoming disciplined, becoming whole. Amen. And now when you look back, hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. You can see it. The moments you thought were breaking you were actually building you up. And we thank God for that. The moments you thought that were delays were actually divine alignment. And we praise God for that right now. The moments you thought were lost were actually seasons of preparation. And hallelujah, we bless God's name for that. Because transformation always has a process, and you're starting with surrender. Amen. Some of you listening right now, you can feel the difference in yourself already. You don't think the same anymore, you don't move the same anymore, you don't tolerate the same things anymore, right? And we thank God for that. We thank God for you being changed, for you being equipped, and for you being in his presence, right? We thank God that this is not a coincidence that he is working in you right now because when you surrendered fully, God doesn't just change your situation, he changes you. And sometimes that's more powerful than anything else. And here's the beauty of this journey: as God is transforming you, he is also transforming your spouse. So that when the timing is right, you don't meet confusion, you meet alignment, you don't meet chaos, you meet purpose, you don't meet insecurities, you meet readiness, amen. Because God doesn't just prepare people, He prepares connections, amen. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. God, we thank you for transformation. We thank you for every season that led us here right now, no God. Thank you. We are not who we used to be, and we give you the glory, we give you the honor, and we give you the praise for that, oh God. God, continue your work in us, oh God. Complete what you started and God, prepare our future spouses and our current spouses right now, oh God, to do your will and your way, Holy Father. God, we praying for alignment, we're praying for growth, and we praying for the same surrender for everyone who's listening right now. Bring us together in your perfect timing according to your will and your way. Amen. As I close out chapter three, before we step into another chapter, I want you to pause and reflect on what God has done in this season, amen. This chapter three was all about surrender, purification, and transformation, amen. You learned how to surrender where you could not control. You learned how to trust God when you didn't understand why you were trusting God. You learned how to prepare for your future spouse and your current spouse in a way that God wants you to be their spouse, amen. You learned, I'm hoping you all learned this stuff, because I know I'm still learning myself, how to choose obedience over comfort, accept removal and redirection. And finally, we learned how to be transformed. And if you're honest with yourself, because I've been honest with myself right now, you are not the same person you were when this chapter started. That is the evidence of God at work in you. Little change is wins. You know what I'm saying? Just praying, surrender is a win. Praying purification is a win. When you start to surrender in prayer to God, that is transformation. And I thank God for you today. And as I close out this chapter in prayer once again, I hope you all follow along with me as we take a deeper walk into chapter four. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Hallelujah, we thank you once more for chapter three, for every correction, every conviction, every breakthrough, and every moment of growth. We thank you, oh God. Seal what you've done in us, oh God, on this very day. Do not let us return to our old ways, our old thinking, our old patterns, oh God. Prepare us now for our future. Prepare us now to be better spouses. Prepare us now to be better stewards for you, oh God. Holy Father, when we move into chapter four, help us to walk deeper through your word. Help us be more intimate with our relationship with you, oh God, and help us to trust you in spirit and in truth. Amen. Well, that's chapter three. And as we close this chapter, I want you to remember this. You didn't lose anything in surrender, you gained everything in God. I will see you in chapter four next week. Have a blessed day. Have a wonderful weekend, and continue to walk by faith and not by sight.
