Last week we discussed no longer crawling around on our bellies, feeling broken down, shut down, rejected—believing instead that our Beloved died to give us the best of everything and to believe, as His bride—we deserve the best He wants to give us. This week I’d like to share why, as brides, we may find ourselves unable to see the top of our problems because they’re piled so incredibly high. Understanding why He lovingly allows problems and difficulties to stack up against you.
Recently I began to notice that instead of my life being the endless honeymoon I’d enjoyed for months and months, problems began to increase until I dropped them all one morning and gave them back to the Lord where they belonged. Repeatedly I began to say, “This isn’t my problem, it’s Yours Darling.” After the fourth or fifth time this happened, I asked Him what was going on. That’s when He reminded me of the Angel Principle that I want to share with you!
Angel was a minister who was with RMI for several years. She left behind several wonderful changes we still enjoy, and it was she who pointed out this principle to me. It was right there, but I had never noticed it before.
In 2006 I suggested Angel leave the ministry to focus on her family. Angel had been estranged from her family for many many years, when suddenly they began contacting her, reaching out to her for help. So I encouraged her to make her family her ministry and to continue to follow His lead, to be in the center of God’s will for her life.
When we did meet up several months later, not only did I get to see Angel again, but I got to meet several members of her family. They were driving through Ozark and had stopped at a nearby restaurant for dinner. Angel called me and I drove right over getting there just in time for dessert. Since both of us were fasting, we went outside just to talk and I asked her how she was really doing. Angel said, “My life has been fantastic—incredible, in fact!” Angel was glowing and she was prettier than I had ever remembered.
Yet, instead of telling me all the “good things” that had been happening, she began by sharing a long list of problems and crises that led to her glow. She said, “My life is fantastic because I let go of everything—especially trying to solve all my family's problems. After you suggested I leave RMI, God turned my ex husband’s heart against me. One day he called and asked me to leave the house in a week that I had been living in since we got married. I had no idea where I would go, so as I packed, rather than simply trusting He had a plan, I began trying to figure out where I’d go. The next week my cousin attempted suicide and was in a coma. Several of my family called me asking what they should do. The week after that my mom was diagnosed with… well, you get the picture. God began to pile so many problems on top of me, one on top of another that I was afraid they would soon topple over and bury me. That’s when I said to the Lord, ‘I surrender!’ After I surrendered it all, everyone and everything, and I vowed never again to ‘try’ to do anything or help anyone. Instantly I felt bathed in peace and I watched as my Beloved began to solve all my problems, without my help.”
Are you in a situation where you can’t see the top of your problems because they’re piled so incredibly high? It’s time to apply the Angel Principle. Give Him your problems, “This isn’t my problem, it’s Yours, Darling.” Then watch as one by one each and every difficulty begins to resolve itself—leaving you to “love on” the One who makes our faces glow—radiating His love for everyone to witness.
Unleashing the TRUTH
Hello, my bridal friends,
Two weeks ago I received a letter about the payment of my Council Tax that was overdue (very late), here where I live, you cannot delay more than 1 month, because, by law, they try to resolve the debt quickly. And they said in the letter that the enforcement agent would come and visit me and take my belongings to cover the debt.
I was really scared. But I had just read the LL week 45 of the Angel Principle and that was refreshing. I was able to deliver this problem to Who is my Beloved HH and as Angel said: Darling! this problem is not mine but Yours, Can you solve it for me? And I then let it go. Because I really couldn't solve it due to my very complicated current financial situation.
I prayed and fasted for 7 days. On the day that the enforcement agent would come, I prayed for half an hour before with my friend Sara, so after the prayer, I took the Bible to meditate and waited .... they made an appointment to come at 6 pm... at 6:40 pm no one slammed the door I simply gave glory to the King and truly said: the Lord of hosts fights for me and as His bride, I only need to be still in the middle of the furnace lit seven times more waiting for the salvation of my Love. At 7 pm I sent a message to Sara saying what our Beloved Husband did, He threw out the agents and so I would be able to make the payment next week without having to take my goods because I am a faithful tither and could not be stolen. For sure if it was another time I would be crying desperately and trying to act alone.
“…and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth” Proverbs 19:2
Dear friends, I have learned from all these tests of my faith that we cannot act with our hands, we cannot rush our steps, we cannot do like the “old woman” leaning on our understanding, but we must learn that there is Someone who can do everything and He is our Husband, our Lord, and Savior ... give everything to Him, do not struggle in the furnace, take His word and be still waiting for His salvation. This happens if you are obeying, tithing, fasting, going the extra mile, not justifying yourself, but waiting on Him for everything because my God will supply all your needs with the glorious riches in Christ - Philippians 4:19.
Say to Him: Darling! This problem is not ‘mine, but Yours, Can You solve it for me?
“For your husband is your Maker, The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of the whole earth. Isaiah 54:5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
I love this verse that says: my Husband is the Lord of Hosts!
Be encouraged!

I love this principle and is something I have been applying for almost 6 months without knowing❤
There are things that we cannot solve and we pray, but for a strange reason, we cannot trust Him. We keep trying and trying to solve everything that comes to us❤
In this season of challenges the Lord have taught me that He is my sole provider and that He will give my “daily bread”, that if my reputation gets damaged He can change it in a minute by faith!
My Beloved reminded me that when something gets ruined He will give more than double what He did for Job.
So I am in a surrendering season, it has been humbling and peaceful, to live one day at a time, a situation per time. I am not supposed to worry about tomorrow, I know we have heard it before, but for me, it got a new meaning today!
I am His, I am a sheep, I must just follow His voice, a step at a time, just moving a little ahead.
My life is a constant move by faith. I am fully dependent on His will ❤♥
My sweet bride change your mind, let go, trust, and move a little by little, with Our Beloved we have no rush!
What an amazing principle! Experiencing the freedom and peace that comes from surrendering everything to our Beloved Lord allows us to glow! There is nothing that can compare to taking His burden upon us that is light and easy, and knowing He is totally capable and willing to carry our heavy burdens!
Giving all my problems to my Beloved Lord is something He’s been talking to for a while now, not that I haven’t done it before, but I wanted to pick up my problems again… and other people’s problems as well. But my Beloved stopped me in time, and He showed me what I was about to do; pick up burdens that are not mine to carry. So, once again I am giving it to the ONLY One who can solve these problems.
“Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6
Without a doubt, this beginning is one more opportunity to praise and fall in love with my wonderful Heavenly Husband… I am so grateful that He takes every weight off my shoulders to take care of it all, His love is SO splendid!
“The Word gave life to all creation, and its life brought light to all” John 1:4
Today my Precious Husband reminded me of this verse and it makes sense to me with the lesson that He tells me to simply pray [speak His Word back to HIM] because it basically means releasing the power of His words—which do not come back empty but fulfill the purpose for which HE sent them—on each one of those problems or worries that are in my life. What a beautiful gift our faith is! Because by believing in these promises we can truly rest and enjoy life abundantly. I only have an immense THANK YOU for my powerful Husband who transforms all my problems into opportunities to witness His glory once again. I do not want to waste these opportunities… I want to live each day amazed and in awe of who my Heavenly Husband is, that is why I no longer want to allow my problems to overwhelm me, but rather make me happy knowing that they bring me closer to HIM.
