Esther 1:19-20 NIV84 "Therefore, if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Xerxes. Also let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she. [20] Then when the king's edict is proclaimed throughout all his vast realm, all the women will respect their husbands, from the least to the greatest."
Psalm 40:1-3 NLT - I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. [2] He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. [3] He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.
By March 5, 2019, my 2nd spouse could see that I was taking God’s call for us to move to New Zealand very seriously. I had begun obeying the Lord’s call, making arrangements to sell the Tiny House and scheduling an Estate sale five days later, on March 10, 2019, in preparations for a move. This was the day that she disclosed she would not be going with me to NZ, but was planning to leave the marriage due to our irreconcilable religious differences. This became the legal date of our marriage separation as listed in the divorce decree.
Two years later to the day, on March 5, 2021, I received a 2nd faith filled email from Lisa (in New Zealand), regarding my the taking down of my ministry, and her continued faith that God would restore me and the ministry. It was that 2nd email that caused me to notice her as a sister of genuine faith in the Lord, but I could never have imagined that just 47 days later, the Lord would tell me she is to be my wife. Between these two dates, not including the dates, it was exactly 777 days!
Video I Posted Letting Go of Apostate Spouse on April 20, 2021
I recorded and posted this video on YouTube on April 20, 2021, in the back yard of Jared and Kristen Taibi, just outside of Austin, TX, explaining that the Lord was telling me to finally let go of my apostate spouse after four years of waiting for her to come back to Him and me. The Lord commanded me to tell Lisa he chose her to be my wife, the very next day on April 21, 2021
