Not In Vain
by Deana Bell on February 4th, 2020
BY: Stander, Healed Marriage, Georgia, USA This morning my husband and I prayed together as it has been a challenging week and the enemy has definitely been attacking. But earlier in the week, I spoke God's word that "No weapon formed against me shall prosper" and I asked the Lord to meet our needs and God (as always) came through and we persevered. This morning in prayer, my husband was praying a... Read More

Thanksgiving & Praise: Our Best Weapons
by Deana Bell on November 27th, 2019
By: Carolyn Johnson, Director Emeritus, Restored Marriage I’ve been thinking about all the things each of us has, for which we should be thankful.

by Deana Bell on November 20th, 2019
By: Deana Bell, CK Director, Restored Marriage It was a rainy and cold fall night in Charlotte and I had had a long day. I wasn't feeling well; I had barely eaten all day and the spiritual warfare I was experiencing that day was overwhelming. I had fed my family, but I didn't feel like eating, so at 10 pm I found myself hungry and tired. All I wanted to do was go to bed, but I heard the Lord tell ... Read More

Weary....
by Deana Bell on September 30th, 2019
By: Carolyn Johnson, Director, Restored Marriage First of all, YOU cannot heal your marriage alone; it is the power of JESUS that brings restoration and reconciliation.

But it is not impossible. So often, we... Read More

Reconciliation - The First Goal of Restoration
by Jackson Bell on August 13th, 2019
“I was so angry at God that I did just the opposite of anything that had to do with God.” In his own words, this man was deceived. His wife, who was left behind with their children, was struggling with depression and a spirit of suicide.

by Jackson Bell on July 25th, 2019
I just read a poster on Facebook that listed six habits that sabotage our life. I could go down that list and place a check-mark beside each one of them. There are habits that need to be dealt with in a Godly manner. This is the list that was presented: Worrying about things you can’t change.

This is especially true while standing for your marriage. When I began giving my answer it made me realize that the time of my most explosive spiritual growth was during my greate... Read More
