This was my case. I was so eager to get married that I viewed some of the men I met as potential husbands, causing me to ignore certain warning signs. When I did not see marriage coming from those situations, I forced the relationships. I compromised, and I’m sure the men could sense that desperation. It was foolish, because firstly, I did not seek...]]></description><link>https://www.difficultlove.com/post/how-your-desire-for-marriage-can-be-manipulated-by-the-enemy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69579e6aa2c15f4bf4f0d2e8</guid><category><![CDATA[Season 1- The Genesis season]]></category><category><![CDATA[The Healing Series]]></category><category><![CDATA[Spiritual Growth]]></category><category><![CDATA[Spiritual warfare]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_d15d967c86a7443699f594bef39ef406~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Victoria</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How God humbles prodigals: A Nebuchadnezzar experience]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Daniel chapter 4, God gives King Nebuchadnezzar a disturbing dream. We can see immediately that he is operating as a prodigal because he is seeking interpretation everywhere except from the Holy Spirit. If he had the Holy Spirit, he would have been able to discern what the dream meant, but instead, he turned to magicians, astrologers, and wise men of the world. Yet even in his rebellion, God is still speaking to him. This dream was a warning. God warns prodigals before judgment, giving...]]></description><link>https://www.difficultlove.com/post/nebuchadnezzar-how-god-humbles-prodigals</link><guid isPermaLink="false">694eb71fdd47cad8b9f46db9</guid><category><![CDATA[The Lost soul (prodigal)]]></category><category><![CDATA[Bible study revelations]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Dec 2025 16:26:08 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_5c1b57a5830b46f49e43c9ca3b9876bc~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Victoria</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA["HE IS DEAD"]]></title><description><![CDATA[These were the words I heard audibly, spoken in a stern voice, one morning as I was waking up.

What I do know is that I immediately understood who the words were about, and panic set in. My first thought was that my spouse had died. I began to wail uncontrollably.

Many of the dreams I had during my marriage restoration seasons were about my Husband. Early in our marriage, sleep became something I feared because God would often show me, through dreams, my husband entertaining women outside of our marriage. Time and time again, what I saw in the spirit would later manifest in the natural. When my Husband and I separated, the dreams increased.

Scripture tells us, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” This tells us that before we came into this world, before our Heavenly Father formed us in the womb, He already knew us spiritually. I was once a prodigal, and maybe you are now. When people hear the word prodigal, they usually think of the story in the Bible, and yes, that is exactly what I mean.

Years of knowing it was hurting me, yet still returning. Part of it was a soul tie, yes, but if I’m honest, not knowing my worth or my identity played a huge role.

I recall reading in Genesis about Adam knowing his wife Eve, and she conceived. I always wondered why the word "knew" was used instead of "lay with" or other terms like those used in the story of David and Bathsheba. However, this is more than just physical intimacy. Knowing is about becoming one with your person. God desires for us to be one with Him first before we become one with our spouse.

When I think of Genesis, I think of Adam and Eve. God looked at Adam and said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him”  (Genesis 2:18). Out of Adam’s rib, He created Eve. Imagine a God so good that while he puts the man to sleep, he creates a beautiful woman, perfect for Adam's needs. They both knew  one another, and they both walked with God. It is such a beautiful picture of love.

To repent means turning away from sin and turning towards God.  It is not about condemnation or shame but about being real with Him and allowing His Spirit to reshape us. The Holy Spirit often brings memories to my mind, to reflect on throughout the course of the day. It could be a careless word, my tone, or to please people more than I please God. When that nudge comes, I try not to ignore it; I repent.
