“Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; my ears You have
opened; burnt offering and sin offering You have not required” (Ps. 40:6).

Beloved, there is no need to sacrifice. This is not what He has required. He

does not need your offering; this is not His desire. Beloved, it is the broken and
contrite heart that the Lord will not and does not despise. Is your heart broken
up wide? Allow Him to open you up in order to pour His healing balm in.

Beloved, there is not anything you can do that can please God. No works—no,
they are a mere outpouring of what He has done. We come and lay our works
on the altar and they are burned up with nothing remaining. Instead, He wants
you to lay down all you desires and all of your heart right there on the altar—
and there He will take it and fill it with His love.

Beloved, allow Him to open your ears to His still small voice, the voice of the
One who wants to tell you how precious you are to Him. It is not in the doing,
but in the being. Today, spend time just sitting in His presence. Don’t do
anything. Lay all your works outside the door. There is nothing that He wants
but you. Can you tell Him today that He is all you want too? Then share with
Him your heart today!

Hallelujah! God really answers prayer. I love the Lord so much and I want
to start off by telling the Lord Thank you for everything that He has done
for me. Thank you Lord for everything that You are doing for me and for
everything that You are going to do for me. God has answered one of my
many prayers!!!!

Today's "The Encourager" Friday, 9/6/13, Daily Encourager Newsletter

means a great deal to me and it has been the most encouraging
newsletter that I have received since joining RMI ministries. I will tell you
why shortly.

Today marks exactly four months since my husband and I have separated
(not legally) and exactly 2 months since I discovered and joined RMI
ministries. I have grown so much closer to the Lord. I think about the
Lord before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning. The first thing
I do each morning is pray, read the encourager and a scripture. It has
been a tool that the Lord has sent me to build my faith and my strength. I
immediately began applying the principles that I learned in "How God can
and will Restore your Marriage?" and God has let me see that it's not
about me, but it's about Him and helping others.

In 2009, my husband and I were separated for a few months. I was a

born again Christian. So, I did know that I needed the Lord's help to
restore my marriage. So, I prayed, fasted and read God's word and
eventually the Lord restored my marriage. However, once our marriage
was restored I stopped spending time with the Lord and the marriage
could not be sustained. I pretty much stopped praying, fasting and
reading the Bible. I started trying to fix my problems myself. I was
trusting in the advice of family and friends, instead of depending on God.
But, that's another story.

Anyway, during our 2009 separation, through prayer, the Lord revealed to
me that He wanted to take me to a higher level. God has a higher calling
for my life. The Lord showed me that my calling was to start a ministry for
married women and single mothers. During our separation, I had become
a single mother (physically and financially) so, I understood the challenges
that single mothers face each day. But, through it all God was my
provider, my protector and my comforter.

He had also showed me that when He restored my marriage that my

husband and I were to start a married couples ministry. But the ministries
weren't to be the typical "church-minded" ministries. The Lord wanted to
use us as vessels to lead others to Him. God's restoration of our marriage
was to be our testimony. But I had no idea where, when or how to begin
these ministries. Of course, when my marriage was restored, I totally
forgot about that idea and began focusing on "myself" and "my" problems
