I found the testimony of Gerald months back when my marriage was going downhill. It really moved me a lot. As of now I have no contact with my wife and she wants a divorce. More than my marriage being restored, I pray for my wife's salvation. God is good even when we can't see or understand why things are happening. Following Jesus despite the storms is what really molds character, and increases humility, courage, endurance, and faith. I have no doubt that God will restore my wife. All things work together for those who love Him.
Ameen i wish all men where praying for their wives,may the almighty restore your marriage😭🙏its so hurting that alot of inocent people are going through tough times in their relationships,im also praying for the lord day and night for restoration.i pray that the lord my see you through and ur wife comes back soon in jesus name.be strong man of God ,its just aseason God is gona make aturn around in everything thats happening now in ur life in jesus nams Ameen
Honesty Hanny Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. As much as I’d love more than anything for my wife to come home, I am aware that I still need a lot of work beforehand. The waiting season may seem very hopeless at times, but God is with us. This is the season of change for ourselves to have God mold our character and to reveal the areas we need to change to become a better spouse. This is what it means to truly sacrifice, deny ourselves and live for Christ, and carry someone else’s cross. I’d bare it all for my wife. I am praying for you and your marriage. I pray God comforts you in this waiting season and you cling onto Him for every source of a need you could possibly have. The nearer we draw to Christ to fill us up, the less reliance we depend on from anyone else. To be so full of Christ is to be so at peace when He is all we have. Peace be with you in the name of Jesus.
@@jasonjordan777 Ameen i know its so hard and painful mostly when your on total block,but still praying for the unseen and hoping to hear from the lord but even though it hurts we should always learn to be thankful in whatever situation that we may be in because the lord is with us and he will never let us down,we should lean on him and surrender all our burdens to Him to fight our battles for as its written in Exodus 14:14 Be still and let the lord fight for you and Yes we should be still wait for the lord to fight for us,for he promised us so we should always remind him because He is atrue and ajust God who never lies,so loving kind and merciful and he loves us unconditionally no matter what.lets stand firm pray without ceasing and indeed God will restore us in all areas of our lifes Jeremiah 33 is full of Gods promises for restoration for us we should lean on it remind him to restore us as he promised in jesus name .i pray for you man of God be blessed.Im thinking of creating agroup so we can be sharing prayer points and encouraging one another so that we can keep our spirit uplifted bse as much as we pray still we neeed some some to encourage us,lift us in spirit so that we can keep going....hoping to work for us and i pray that people will join.We have to defeat the devil by fire by force in jesus name,claim all the belongs to us.The devil is aliar
God recently told me that I am to be an intercessor for my prodigal spouse. I pray for him every day and have let him go( we have no contact). I can't wait to see what God is going to do since I know the Lord keeps His promises!
The first question is powerful.. sometimes we don’t think our prayers are making it past the ceiling & this shows God really does minister to our spirits.
My husband and I are separated...I keep hearing I'm in the eye of the storm but God says to stand still. I believe my husband is going through transformation and I keep praying for him and believing God is going to restore our marriage.
Thank you so much for sharing! I am currently going through a divorce initiated by my husband. We have 2 daughters, 3y & 6m. My husband is living with the OW and excepting a child any day. My situation looks IMPOSSIBLE - BUT GOD I am praying for a miracle.🙌🙏 Lord, please deliver my husband. Thank you so much for your testimonies! As a standing wife. I truly appreciate it 🙌
Thanks for letting the prodigal husband give his point of view. This is so helpful to assist us to understand the demons that our spouse are battling so we can be reconciled with God’s help. Thanks for the honesty and transparency.
God bless you both! I’m almost 7 months pregnant and dealing with a prodigal spouse, I have been carrying this cross for the last 10 months and standing in the gap for him. He suffers with a lot of demonic oppression, unbelief, drugs, porn, emotional cheating. He is saying that he is going to leave once our child is born, the Holy Spirit has told me that it is not His will for us to divorce, but my husband doesnt even know if he believes in God, I don’t know how to reach him when he doesn’t even want to hear anything I have to say. I pray God removes them scale from his eyes
Denise it's not what you say to him it's how you live out your life in front of him. He is not listen to your words. You have to love him like your not hurt and treat him like hasn't done anything. I'm not say it's easy but that's what my wife did for me. I had to see God in her and through her. You can do it. Go to our website and get my wife's book and work book it will help you. geraldandyvette.com
My GOD! This was VERY good. My Husband has a LOT of similarities to your Gerald. This further confirms the state of rebellion and double mindedness mu Husband currently has. It was hard because I was focusing on the outward (his words, his harsh attitude) that I would forget the warfare that he is dealing with and get worked up sometimes. God bless you both and your ministry. Thank you BOTH for your obedience and transparency.
I was married for 25 years , then my husband left and came to the USA . Few years after I learned that he divorced me .He is now married , 2 years ago he started calling me very often . I have been standing now for 16 years , because God told me , he’s going to clean him up and bring him back to me. I do believe in restoration and reconciliation. 16 years is a very long time , so I’m questioning God if I’m doing something wrong. Please pray for me . God tells me to be still and know that he is God. He also tells me that nothing is too hard for Him . Therefore I’m still waiting on God .
Replay! I'm trying to be hopeful. Your story is amazing! My husband is so mean and doesn't want to talk about our relationship at all. He only says we should talk about the children. When I hear your testimony things sound possible but being in the trial itself it is much harder especially when you're the spouse that got left by the prodigal.
I just recently “stumbled” upon this video, which encouraged me so much, and gave me hope, as I am standing for my marriage/my husband’s salvation/healing & restoration. To hear the prodigal husband’s perspective was so insightful, and confirmed some things for me. This video led me to your channel, and watching other videos. I am thankful for your ministry here on RU-vid. I am hopeful. I am encouraged.
You guys are a formidable example of hope and restoration to the glory of Yah/ God. This whole testimony and your transparency are ministering deliverance in itself. But at 52:51 - 54:49, a part so raw in its detail and the kiss you shared made me cry. Look at this victory!! There's nothing like true love forged and birthed through the Holy Spirit of Jesus. And brother Gerald , when you shared earlier how you are filled with joy like never before, being in God's will and fulfilling your God ordained purpose.. Well. I just can't find the words of how this reaffirmed my faith. Sister Yvette, you are an exemplary daughter of Yah/ God and I identify with you in ways I can't express here. A true Proverbs 31 woman. Blessed are you. I'm praying for you both, to go from strength to strength, and glory to glory. That the LORD will use you both to minister to many others to bring hope and victory to their lives and marriages. That they too with God's help will know the value and joy of true love and true intimacy as God intended. You're a beautiful and inspiring Kingdom couple. Continue to stay true to Yeshua /Jesus. 🙏 So glad God led me to this video 🙏🙌♥️🤗👑👑🏆
I watch these to remind myself never to get married lol. Im so happy single. Once in a while someone comes along to catch my eye, but I snap out of it. This hell, games, infidelity is not worth it to me but to each his own. I enjoyed watching. Very helpful.
I just wanted to say that this is confirmation for me. God told me at the beginning of September to start sending my husband who is a prodigal, prayers and verses with love every morning that he will give me through my prayer time. He told me to start them off by saying “Good morning Husband” than saying what the Lord said. He doesn’t respond of course and so every day I’ve been wondering if I’m just literally crazy, more than that, I’ve been scared that me speaking to him would actually push him away even more. Thank you for confirmation.
This was an awesome Q&A session. I think it was very important to hear from Gerald. Most videos I've seen are mostly the women talking and speaking on the journey. It often left me wondering are we (wives) in this alone. Thank you both for your transparency and honesty. This is an extremely important ministry. May God cover and continue to bless you both.
There are many marriage ministries out there but GYM I can say that God is truly working with you all. May the Lord continue to bless your Marriage, Family and Ministry 💕❤💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥
Great interview thanks for the transparency. A few questions for Mrs. Yvette how long was your stand?? and did you consistently pray the same prayers?? For Mr. Gerald how often did Mrs. Yvette reach out to you through text or phone calls?? And how did you respond?? Or did you at all?? And how did you feel when she didn't reach out??
Thank you for your obedience. The power by your shared testimony is such an encouragment for me. May our husbands come alive and be found in Jesus' name! May the scales fall from their eyes. May this be their Saul to Paul season ! May this be your family's season of celebration of the prodigal coming home! As for Me and my house we SHALL praise the Lord!
This was excellent. Thank you so very much for this, i needed to hear this somehow. Please keep me and my man in your prayers cos this is exactly where we're at right now after 9 years . His eyes, heart and mind are so closed off only God can help him. 🙏🙏🙏 I need God to heal me aswell. Amen.
@@tinaedwards5499 For me it is God's word. Meaning he tells me too and has given me visions/prophecy as confirmation. But it is HARD. For example, just when I think or ask is it time to let go this video pops up in my feed and God is speaking to me directly as I watch it. Like Gerald said, "Do what God tells you to do." Their story is an amazing testimony similar to what God showed me. I want my amazing outcome where God gets ALL THE GLORY! Jesus is real.
Response to Individual Messaging an issue Blessings! I’m so sorry all of this is happening. The enemy hates Gods plans. Our ministry has many resources to help. If you feel and know God asked you to stay and fight or prepare for marriage than you have to do all you are able to do to please the Father. If you don’t know what God is asking of you, then your first assignment is to get healing so you can clearly hear. We offer books/workbook, webinars with teaching, online counseling and group Spiritual Warfare mentoring. If you follow our ministry, you know we have broadcasts on our pages and website as well. I would pray and ask God what is the best resource for you. You need weapons to fight and that is what we try to provide. The mentoring is spiritual warfare training and counseling is for personal healing and prayer strategies. The other resources are valuable for your everyday fight to stay sharp in the spirit. All of the information is on our website geraldandyvette.com
Thank you for your raw transparency. So much wisdom and healing in this message and I’m grateful for your obedience to the Father. Continued blessings to you both. 🙏🏾
Please pray for the restoration of my marriage. My husband left our home and told me that he “doesn’t know how to love himself, which makes it hard for him to love me and to receive love“ we had a beautiful day of healing on Friday, then Monday morning he text me “I want a divorce“. He has since said he will take some time to rethink things… But my heart is so feels like it’s on a roller coaster. I am standing in prayer over him, for him to have peace and to feel loved and for our marriage to be restored. Please pray with me.
My husband has asked for a divorce. Told me he loves me, and he’s conflicted but feel like this is what is best for him. I haven’t heard from him. My heart is shattered but I am leaning into God. God alone can bring this marriage back to life, grab his heart and make a testimony and blessings from battles. Please pray for us.
I just recently found you guys. Watched this today. Just want to say how much I appreciate your honesty, transparency & vulnerability. This gives me hope and confirmation that I am on the right track. Thank you for this ministry!
Praise the Lord, for your ministry! Thank you for letting Jesus, help you both with redeeming your marriage, and then allowing your experiences to be a blessing and ministry in our broken world! Hallelujah!!!
O Lord Jesus! Breakthrough in all the marriages. Lord we need Your blessing. Nothing and no one can stop Your blessing. Lord cover our spouse right now, be the hedge of protection over our marriages in Jesus Mighty Name!
What did you Mrs. Benton do in the meantime. Especially, when God's tells you, your way out is staying in the marriage? Did you ever feel like Mr. Benton was getting away with his actions, while God was holding you accountable? Love this interview!
Good morning Tina, I pray all is well with you. I can tell you this I was not getting away with anything. It may seem that way to you but God was dealing with me from the inside. God had to deal with my heart. Because it had become hard. That took time and work. But do understand God works in his timing NOT ours. When He does a work it looks like me. Washing me as white as snow. So if i could say anything say with what God has asked you to do. It will workout for the good. God does not make mistakes.
@@gym-geraldyvetteministries3210 Thank you for responding! Both you & your wife are an amazing blessing to the kingdom of God & to my marriage! Blessings 😇
OH MY GOD , MY GOD OH MY GOD ,MY GOD SISTER BABYYYYYYU WHEN I TELL U THIS COMMENT IS SOOOO ON POINT DO U HEAR 👂🏾 ME SISTER I FEEL THIS EXACT SAME WAY LIKE THE WOMEN 👩🏽 ARE BEING WARNED AND THREATENED TO BE OBEDIENT AND STAND IN THE GAP FOR THE MEN AND THE MEN GET AWAY WITH THEIR ACTIONS AND SOOO MUCH I TELL GOD THIS CONSTANTLY ACTUALLY TALKING TO HIM ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW
Praise the Lord. My beloved and the other person went to church this weekend. God is changing hearts. I am a helpmeet suitable and ready to receive my prodigal!!
At 1:05:50 when you were discussing about him not having the money to divorce...the back and forth..." yes you did, you cut me off from the cards, not the 2nd time"....was super funny! I needed that laugh! Thank you, bless you both! Thank you!
So beautiful how i long my marriage was like yourrs,pls remember us in your prayer my husband gone since March this year,God can and will restore my Marriage.
Gloryyy Be To God 🙏🏽❤🙌🏽 Thank You Gerald And Yvette I Was Lead To Your Marriage Ministry And I Am So Grateful For This Channel I Am Currently Seeking For You Both To Stand In Agreement With Me In Prayer For Our Restoration As Well As Reconciliation For Myself And My Prodigal Its Been A Long Journey Of A Fight For 4 Years Now Of Being Separated Off And On But Again I Thank You Lord For Ordering My Steps To This Channel It Was Not A Coincidence But Definitely A Sign That You Want Me As His Helpmeet To Keep Holding On And Pressing In In Whatever You Want Me To Do To Heal Our Covenant Amen
I realize the pain I have caused my husband and I often ask him to forgive me and he will only ask for what. But often I sense his anger and there is negative talk etc. How do I handle it all. It can be frustrating. God bless you Gerald and Yvette for sharing
Doing a 30 day prayer and felt God tell me to type out those prayers and send it to my prodigal daily.. even though he told me to stop A bit fearful of rejection.. but i have to tell myself "do i fear God or fear man?"
I have been searching for God to give me directions. I “stumbled” across your page and I know this was intentional from God. I can relate to this in so many ways. I’m so thankful to God that you are open and transparent with your story.
I really want to stand but we’re now divorced, I still feel hope bcus he still comes back to me and seems interested, but he doesn’t want the responsibility of our family, he’s now engaged to the mistress he left us for. I want to move on with my life but then I feel pulled to standing . Please pray for me . I have so many family members reminding me my ex spouse is not for me and has someone better Thank you
You do what God says do. God has a plan and it starts with you. Get delivered from others and what they say. If it doesn't line up with what God wants then block it out. They may think they have your best interest but God WILL is more important than what they think. God bless you.
m are mostly women and it’s so sad to see that so many of us are going through marriage separation and standing for our prodigals. My main question is why is God allowing this all to happen to so many of us? Especially to the women? And not only is it happening to us but most of us have yo stand for our marriages for many months and even years. I love the Our Father in heaven with all my heart, but he has promised us peace, hope, and a future. Why does he allow all this pain and confusion to happen within our marriages if he is a God who does not creat confusion? Who doesn’t want to see us fail? I don’t understand. God tells us to call on him and he will answer us but I never hear him, God said he will deliver us from our distress but some of us are still standing after 20 years.. God said that whatever we ask for according to his will we will receive it but yet restoration still does not happen… It’s hard to believe that my husband doesn’t have 100% free will when there’s clear proof.
Pray for restoration for me in my husband Terry he is living with another women her name is Yolanda. Pray for his salvation and pray the same for my daughter Crystal and her husband Juan Green. Thank you God bless you all
I have a question GYM. What if my Husband is persistent about me getting a divorce. He wants one but he wants me to do it. I said no why would I do that when that's not what I want to do. I don't understand what I'm suppose to do. I pray throughout the day. Last night I didn't know what to pray about. I ended up busting out crying. It's like I couldn't pray but I know God feel my pain and knows my heart. I always pray that my Husband would return Fully to God. Don't get me wrong He Loves God and pray himself. But I say that because if he was closer to God he would go back to church with me and our 3 sons. And he would treat me like you don't want to lose me. And I always ask God if it's his Will than I start praying.
My prodigal text me out the clear blue to let me know that he's been thinking about me (after 4 months no contact). If things progress, how soon do I mention he things that bother me in our marriage? I forgive him, but I don't want to be on this rollercoaster. We've broken up several times before, he's a runner. This is the longest we've been apart. HOW DO I KNOW IF HE IS SINCERE THIS TIME?
Its up to God not us. Questions make them feel they are backed into a corner. We have to give them time to get to counseling and for a heart change. It is NOT our job to fix them
I think yall might be the perfect couple to ask..i feel like other people have a different answer /perception when they say "dont chase" "dont msg them" "let them go" & if that's the case by gosh i don't want to chase him evn further..but sometimes I feel like it could depend on the prodigal & by listening to alot of gerald's videos it sounded like he was describing my prodigal ex husbands childhood.. he can't express or talk about emotions & like the dismissive avoidant which i REBUKE...my prod is a runnnnerrrr, & if he got mad or upset he would stonewall me for days..anyways sometimes I do get an overwhelming feeling to send him a devotion that ive read or I'll tell him im thinkn abt him & praying for him & telling him he's strong, he's the head & not the tail etc... just encouraging words maybe like once a month or so but for the last yr almost he has been silent..he wouldn't evn respond if i sent him something really important abt our house he put up for sale, a question...no response, & nothing when I send him that stuff...i was NOT an encouraging wife while married.. it's like idk if it's the holy spirit prompting me, is it me just wanting to reach out to the man ive fallen in love with allllll over again thru this 2yr stand & i was a foool the 1st yr agh🤦♀️🤦♀️ then God got ahold of me..but if im pushing him further i wannnnnnnnna knowwwwwwww!!
Mindy Loper you have to do whatever God says do. Get in a place where you can hear God speak. If He is not speaking go back to the last thing He said. It’s all about timing when it comes to reaching out. If he doesn’t respond be ok with it if God told you to do it. You only get hurt is when you do it on your own time. Get yourself healed from the hurt and pain. Stop listening to other people if God did t tell you to give them your business. 🙏🏽
I have healed soooo much from the 1st yr..i couldn't stop crying day or night if someone paid me to..just couldn't stop but thats also when a whole new r'ship w/ God started & showing me all the places I fell short as a wife & mom but didn't yall say that gerald was encouraged by the uplifting things u said? Evn aftr the div he was still supporting us, we couldn't go more than a few days w/out txtn each other & thennnnnnn i had this NOT SO BRILLIANT IDEA to do a 30day no contact!!! IT BACKFIRED!!! 2wks in he texted me & 4 once in my whole life i was strong & didn't cave, the nxt eve he called, i didn't answer, he told my brother he was lonely & he missed me & b4 i could reach out to him the following week satan put a decoy of his complete opposite type in his path & he literally went from light to dark, (IN 1 WEEK) frm supporting us to closing the acct & putting a 10day notice to vacate on the front door, stonewalling me, nooo communication! 5mos in he married her...he is evn running from people that were like family who he loved & they loved him..it's like he's ashamed, w/drawn, aangry idk i just want him so badly to know im here for him i love him, i pray 4 him every day, dress him in the full armor of God everyday ,like God has turned my heart around for him so much & i know my prod must return to God in repentance & then i pray God's will for our marriage...or thats what I pray anyways lol
Mam I am from India where second marriage is not considered at all , but now he has became prodigal I don't know what to do, based on God s word i am standing but sometimes I feel like quitting please pray for me to have strength in this difficult path of my life,i got this video when I wanted to quit god is working things through u
My question is to Yvette. How did you overcome the mental trauma of his betrayal? How were you able to surrender fully to his intimacy and enjoying making love together?
Shoot, that's Awesome and unusual that your loved ones followed your lead and didn't ridiculed Gerald. I refuse to allow anyone to ever go in on my Husband, even though I got negative reactions. I don't talk to or ask any advice from hardly anyone. Praying friends and only a handful who are encouraging to my marriage is enough. We don't need the peanut gallery in our business. Some things they may know that can't be avoided, but conversations, etc ... Nottt❗🤨
My husband left me with 3 kids. This is text book the way my husband behaves. He doesnt want to talk to me in person or barely over the phone. I'm hurting. I went to a mental facility for a week. He doesnt care. I dont know how to handle his switch. He is not himself.
Hello thank you so much for sharing I am standing for my marriage currently this has blessed me so much . I will be signing up for webinar bless you amen and woman of God .
My husband returned home still acting just as horrible. I'm pregnant with our second son and I can't take it. I tried to pray through the unfrateful acts and behavior and little boy, lazy, mentality he had and It's too much for me and I'm actually thinking of just walking away for good and moving on with my life. He's catholic, I'm Christian. He's not into God but he didnt mind praying and reading the bible with me. I can't anymore. I'm at a point where I don't know if I even want this marriage. It's too much ... he keeps foing little stuff to hurt me and blaming me for his actions smh.
Hello Gerald & Yvette ! I think I notice (after MUCH prayer) changes in my estranged live at home hubby.. Praying fore thatn 5 years for reconciliation. But I have a question.. i have ADD and i CAN NOT concetrate while i am praying... except if i have written prayers that i can keep focused on. Do you have any written marriage restoration prayers i can use ?
My husband separated from me last July 2019 and we are in the middle of a divorce that I do not want he rarely ever talks to me how can I win him back I pray for him several times a day
please what scriptures were you sending your husband?? i still feel very resentful for what he s done .. i realize i also have never been such ...encouraging wife... never had much trust in him .. i still feel very numb and dispise him .. cz his behaviour now ...his lazyness and influence on kids ..i get mad at times ... but cannot express ...he s always...downplaying my feelings ..we have isdues in parenting kids ...ect.. i always feel he s doing nothing on purpose i don t know and feel very ..far too. ours is mixed marrisge ..
Please prey for me my husband left me but returned after 11 years, we have been fine until I discovered that he is constantly talking to a woman I introduced him to from my church, what should I do?
God has put me on the path to pray for my prodigal. We are divorced and he is remarrying. God has already prepared me for this, however he and other woman are telling my daughter to call her mommy. I don’t want her calling her that, but I don’t know what to do...
Pray pray pray! Is my answer! No need to fight with the world with my voice of my own words. God has already SAID and Jesus has SAVED! Read and Pray the WORD and see and hear God. Jesus has covered us and our spouses. Obey the word and miracles will happen. God is the God of impossible ❣️
