Putting on the Full Armor, Pt. 7: Rest and Recovery by A.P.

My husband’s health has been warred against, to the point where he’s been in a life-threatening situation.

We've been praying and drawing close to the Lord as a family to break the spiritual strongholds that are attacking him.

After the intensity of the battle these last 3 months-–particularly the last 2 weeks–-there’s been a shift. Something different is happening. I don’t know how to describe it.

There is so much peace and rest in our home!! A rest like we have never known before!

All of the enemy’s lies have come to nothing! Everything he throws at us is already defeated and overcome, in Jesus name!

I bask in the comfort of God watching over us, and rest in the quiet after the storm.

Every day, Jerome feels better and better. Every night he gets more sleep.

He is learning how to take every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).

He’s learning how to relax in spite of all the pressures of life he has going on as a husband, father, business owner, and friend.


He came to the realization that he needed a new "processor". The way he processed life, information, tasks and projects was what led him to breaking down.

Now God is making all things new, and showing us what patterns need to change.


Testimonies of Today:

Our second son shared: “I asked God last night to give Dad energy to go clear brush for some trails.”

And–Jerome had energy! They left on this beautiful day to spend hours making trails. They came trooping back with big grins and lots of laughter.

Jerome testified: “It’s a miracle to have energy to go do one of my most favorite things....make trail.”

They all went fishing this morning. They were totally skunked fish-wise, but came home with joy and videos of their fun.

God has been healing him through the fishing!!!! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

Our daughter and I needed to trim her horse’s hooves. I was her assistant.

As I looked at the hoof that was damaged from that cut a few years back, I was concerned.

It really doesn't function great. I was suddenly stirred to ask my daughter:

"Could God heal the coronary band so the hoof could grow straight even after all this time?"

She said: "Yes."

So we agreed together and asked God for this miracle.

This evening, I was stirred to look up the verses about asking and believing and we read them together. She and I are in GREAT anticipation to see a healed hoof!!!

Our youngest son was mildly freaking about some toy he could not find.

We asked him if he would like to know a trick about finding things.

He said: "Yes".

So we told him that God knows everything and where everything is, so why not ask?

He asked and came back a while later all upset because he hadn't found it yet.

We encouraged him to not give up. Then, within minutes, the toy was found and not even by him.

Our fourth son testified: “my puppy listens better when I’m not mad.”

Our oldest son shared what joy and flow he felt in the connections they all had throughout the day.

My heart is overflowing with abundant joy at God’s presence in our lives.

Everyone had a testimony tonight!! Everyone is recognizing the miracle of peace, value of each other.

Our eyes have been opened to see the miracle of God in the smallest ways throughout each day.๐Ÿ’•
