Part 1: How God showed me the man I'm supposed to be with through dreams and visions

Here it is FINALLY! Praise God i'm done. Please forgive all the typos and bad grammar. I'll try to get it flowing better and will be editing it every now and then. But I wanted to get it posted today. Its very LONG but very good in my opinion. hope you all enjoy!

First off I want to say that the first man I married, we’ll call him Joe, was not who God wanted me to be with. I asked God if I should, and He told me no. He was not saved and we were unequally yoked. Unfortunately I was serving myself back then and not God. I beat myself up mentally throughout the marriage because I was so unhappy and I always thought, “If I had only listened to God…” Over the past few years I had several dreams about the “man I was supposed to be with”. Since I was married when this was going on, and these dreams never included Joe, I would wake up repenting for having dreams about another man. Two years later I had repetitive dreams where Joe was cheating on me and I found the proof. Come to find out he had cheated on me and God provided substantial evidence and encouraged me to leave Joe.
I’m not sharing this to encourage people to leave their husbands if they are cheating. You must rely on God for that answer. I do believe that God can heal broken marriages. That just wasn’t the case with Joe and I. In the beginning of the divorce, I went to church and the Lord laid heavily on me that I was about to be so happy in my love life. The joy God gave me was so strong and I knew He had given me a prophetic word concerning my future.

Here are the dreams that led me to the man the Lord intended for me to marry. I will try to include as many from the past few years as I can remember. I am leaving some things out as they are personal and not necessary to share.

My now husband and I started talking December 20, 2007 and met each other in person on December 31, 2007. Please note that the (*) marks the fulfillment of each dream.

Dream in 2005 or early 2006 “House of Destiny”
About 3 months or so after Joe and I married, I dreamed of a house that I’d always had dreams about ever since I was little. Every time I’d entered it in the past, I knew it was my house and that one day it would belong to me. This time though I came to the front yard and I was floating or gliding just above the ground. I saw my house and thought to myself “Oh no! I can’t have this house now because I married the wrong man!” (In real life Joe and I were in love at this time) I came through the front door and saw the back of a man's head and knew it wasn’t Joe. I saw that he was watching football. I’m pretty sure it was the Dallas cowboys. I remember thinking he was the one I was supposed to be with and I was disappointed that he was a football fan lol.
*My husband is a HUGE cowboy football fan. As i'm writing this (its July mind you) He is in the other room playing fantasy football and just gave me an exciting speech about how awesome its going to be when football starts up in September lol.


September/October 2006 – “Vision at the Hospital”
I was in the hospital with my son who had just undergone open heart surgery. My marriage was on the rocks, (this was before I found out Joe was cheating). I remember sitting down from exhaustion and feeling a deep loneliness. I was praying and asking God if He didn’t want me to be with Joe…who had he meant me to be with?…I felt I was going through a war with my sons health issues and my marriage problems. Suddenly I had this vision of a man sitting in a chair. I remember his eyes were sad. I felt a deep sense of loss, hurt, and just plain trauma. God said to me, “He is going through his own war right now”. I remember seeing his pants were camo and I thought he must be back from the war and was recuperating or something. At this time I had no understanding of my gift and thought I’d imagined it. But the feelings from the vision and Gods words ran so deep in my soul that I told the man in my heart, “one more year…give me one more year.” I was going to try and make things work with Joe.
*What stood out to me the most in the vision were the mans eyes. They are my husbands eyes. Also, my husband told me later this was after he had gotten back from Afghanistan and he was going through so much turmoil in his marriage. They had been split a year before we ever met.

Dream in 2006 “Another House Dream”
I dreamed of a house that was built very quickly and in haste. It was the perfect house for me and my family. I remembered that it was built so fast and was priced at exactly what I could afford. But it was such a good buy! I just knew someone else would buy it before us, we just couldn’t be that lucky!
Several months later I dreamed of this house again. This time it had vines and greenery growing over it. It had been sitting there waiting on me to buy it for a while. I suddenly knew that in my dream it was a house that only I could go to and that Joe could not go. It was only meant for me not Joe. When I woke up I thought “are Joe and I getting a divorce? Is that what that meant? I even had an urge to leave my husband so I could go there, but i rebuked the thought thinking it was satan.
* This is around the time that my husband and his ex wife split and he began his new journey with the Lord and waiting and praying about his future wife.

This is only part one and I am so utterly excited to read more DAPH!!!

LOOK HOW GOD WORKS!! thank you, thank you for posting...I know the rest won't disappoint!!!
desiree
p.s. your first marriage is proof that you CAN marry the wrong person even though you do it right by being married (God's covenant)...I DONT WANT TO MARRY THE WRONG PERSON LORD!!!

How awesome! There's hope for me yet!

Delaine

Wow!! That is amazing. You can't stop there. I'm anxious to read more. Thanks for sharing.

Jeri

youre welcome Jeri! my pleasure! Glad to see you here!
Daph

daphanie thanks for sharing the excitement. forgive me, i'm a little confused...u said "God encouraged you to leave Joe..meaning divorce b/c Joe was cheating on you......are u really saying God did that? my understanding is according to God's word, he forbids divorce........

but then u said initially God told u not to be with Joe...did he tell u thru a dream or how did he do this?

your story reminds me that there's ALOT of people in the world AND even God's believers that don't wait for God's real words about their partners in marriage.

to make a long story short, there is a pastor of a HUGE church today & i've watched his sermons online. one time, he talked about how he started the church then stated he had to get married as he said being a single pastor would not be a good idea........he said literrally, one day he was i think passing thru the front desk administration area & met one of the staff members there (a lady). Anyway, he said his pastor buddy told him he should marry her since he's single. He abruptly asked her to marry him & she said yes. that was yrs ago...........

today, she lives her life away from the church, she used to be labeled as pastor & one of the founding members at the church but u can't find her name anywhere on the site now. i have seen public display of her new career & there is alot of darkness. the pastor seems to try to support her "life" thru his sermons & more...but i feel he's sort of manipulating God's word to protect his pride in his marriage.

Yes God told me not to marry Joe through his Word. I was awake when this happened. My ex husband was addicted to porn and was cheating on me and then told me he didnt want to work things out after i pleaded with him to. i had told him several times i didnt care if he slept with 5 women, i wanted to work things out. He didnt want to. Jesus even says in His Word that divorce is ok if there is adultery. If you arent clear about what im saying i encourage you to read my entire testimony. I assure you im not manipulating Gods word in any way. It was God himself that told me to share my testimony.
I know you meant well, but I think you misunderstood.
blessings,

The bible also says in Corinthians that if your spouse (unbelieving) wants to go then he/she can! You tried Daph and that's all you could do--now look at how God has blessed!!

Great to see you back!
smooches
desiree

Thanks Desiree! You're so right! I believe God can heal all sorts of marriages, unfortunately it wasnt the case for "joe" and I. But God still had a plan and blessed me beyond what I ever expected.

Ohhhh...welcome back Daph...I was waiting for you to come back to answer this. I started to, but my inward brakes came on...

Love ya...hope all is well.
