Lisa Marriage Story
During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord said to me, "Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there. [7] I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it. [8] I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery. [9] Because Israel's immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood. [10] In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretense, " declares the Lord. - Jeremiah 3:6-10 NIV84
"Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" [41] "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end," they replied, "and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time." - Matthew 21:40-41 NIV84
"Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. - Matthew 21:43 NIV84
Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. - Acts 13:46 NIV84
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. - Romans 11:22 NIV84
On August 6, 2020, Persis (2nd spouse) sent me an email asking me to fill out the divorce papers. After several set backs with the production and editing, I finished and posted on YouTube the whole story of her apostasy and my re-marriage to Lisa in the documentary style video called “The Heavenly Scandal” 555 DAYS later on February 12, 2022. 555 is a sign of God’s deliverance to me, starting back in Trusting God in the Storm. Lisa has been the most remarkable and refreshing of God’s deliverances to me especially after the suffering of 21 years in the marriages to two unfaithful spouses! It must be similar to how God feels about His still faithful Gentile bride after having divorced both Israel and Judah for their unfaithfulness.
