[Testimony] Greater is He
This was my fourth conference. Each year I receive a fresh anointing from God that draws me closer to his presence and power. This year, I have been touched with his wisdom.
I am faced with a decision that I didn’t know was so powerful until after the Shine Conference.
My husband and I have had a very rocky marriage of four years. We were separated for about six months of the last year and recently came together to give it another try. After only six weeks, we decided to end our marriage.
It wasn’t going to work.
During Friday morning’s session, Lisa Bevere gave away some of her reading material. I was hand picked to get a free copy of her book “Out of Control and Loving It”.
The following morning, Pastor Stovall spoke on not letting your dream die and had an altar call after his message. The spirit of the Lord was so present. It was overwhelming. A seed was planted in me when I left that three-day conference.
All of the speakers, Deborah, Pastor Kerri, Lisa and Pastor Stovall had an awesome word from God that left an impression on my soul.
I immediately started reading Lisa’s book, which prompted me to reference the Bible (uncommon for me). The Lord has been speaking to me ever since.
As I was getting ready for work this morning, this question came to mind. Are women primarily the initiators of divorce? I thought about it. To my knowledge they are. Why is that? I asked my husband. He agreed. His thoughts were that women look at the situation as long term, don’t see any change in sight, and decide that they don’t want to be burdened with it.
He was right, for me anyway.
Shortly after arriving to work, I hear the Lord saying “Greater is he who is in me, than he who is in the world.” Now, I knew there was a scripture that said something like that, but me being someone who doesn’t reference the Bible, I had to verify the wording. So, I Googled it.
The wording I found was this: “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4.
All I can say is, I can’t see what tomorrow holds, and yesterday is through, but God knows the plans He has for me!

I was reading this testimony and found myself drawn to the person who wrote it. I don’t really know why. The testimony ended on a hopeful note and left me wondering if she planned on staying with her husband or not, but the strength in her words left a feeling over me. A desire to share with her that I too, believe God has a plan for her. Although sometimes we dread the hardship that is to come, we also have to believe that when you believe, HE guides you to the path you should be on. I once, not too long ago believed I was going through something so horrible I didn’t want to go through it alone and so I clung to HIM and I now find myself not able, not wanting to let go. I have found peace that only HE can give. I could go on but I’ll just say that she will be in my prayers!
