First a little background... I have been bothered and praying for a long time about the fact (and I shamefully admit) that my husband really annoys me and his many sins against me have hurt and irritated me more times than I can count. I was feeling very guilty and sad about this. I knew it was wrong to feel this way but I didn’t understand how to handle it or pray for him and myself concerning it. I’ve been feeling my love growing colder towards him and this really has alarmed me because I know that this isn’t God’s plan for us to have tension between us. I would pray that Jesus would give me supernatural love for him and that Robert would become the man that God would have him to be, but many times I have failed and Robert has failed. Finally tonight I believe that there will be huge breakthrough concerning these feelings and this situation! I just had a vision and a word from Jesus! I was sitting in the quiet of my room reading, all of a sudden I was approached by the Lord. He was holding up a long string of a pearls in both hands. The pearls were very beautiful. They were pure white but also very iridescent so that you could see the rainbow on them. He said “You will need these”. He put the necklace over my neck and they hung around past my chest. I touched them in question and curiosity; wondering why I needed them and what they were for? He put His hand on my right shoulder and looked me in the eyes very seriously and said “These are the pearls of praise. You’ve been troubled by the issues in your marriage, you have been irritated and annoyed by your husband and have been asking me to help you. I’m giving you these out of my treasuries.” “Do you know how a pearl is made?” He asked. It dawned on me and my eyes lit up. He smiled, “Yes, it’s created when the oyster is irritated. You feel as though many things your husband does doesn’t belong in your life and you are correct! Just as the grain of sand doesn’t belong in the oysters life. Yes you are irritated and it is uncomfortable but I am doing a wonderful work in this situation. Just trust me and wait and see!” He said with a twinkle in His eyes. “I want you to praise me and worship me when you feel irritated, because I promise you will experience more irritations. I have much work still to do on you both. When you are bothered, remember to praise me and your irritant will form into a precious and beautiful pearl. This pearl is formed by your sacrifice of praise to me and it is a beautiful thing! It shall become a blessing around your neck that adorns you. Instead of the irritation that you feel has been choking you. Praise me! Praise me! Thank me for all! And you will see my mighty hand accomplish wonderful things in your life and marriage.” Then He hugged me, squeezed my right shoulder and the vision was complete. I pondered the vision and said “Thank you Lord!” Quickly again I saw Him. He kissed me on the forehead and smiled as if saying you’re welcome and then He said “Remember The pearls of praise!” With that He was gone. I literally felt my shoulder being squeezed. 30 mins later I told my husband Robert the vision and something more amazing happened!! The Holy Spirit lead Robert to give me a word of wisdom! More wisdom! He said that “the shoulder is significant because you place burdens on shoulders and you have been carrying this burden. Jesus was squeezing your shoulder because He was massaging it as if to say I love you and let this stress go. The right shoulder is significant because it is the side of righteousness and favor. You have felt choked because we have been unequally yoked and I’ve been dragging you down. This yoke that you’ve borne as a burden on your shoulders has caused pain. The Lord is breaking the burden off of you and has comforted you and in its place has laid wisdom upon you.” Wooo Hoo!!! Breakthrough tonight!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful... Jesus reminding us that He can make pearls from the irritations that we choose not to take offense to or hold onto. Thank you very much for sharing it.
For anyone struggling in this area, here are a few books that might also help:
- The Bait of Satan (Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense)
- Steps to Freedom in Christ (a workbook from "The Bondage Breaker")
- Sacred Marriage (What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?)
Key components to breaking free from the bondage of taking offense (and/or fearing future offenses) include: being grateful in all circumstances, trusting that the Lord has a purpose in what He allows, that He will help you through it, and that He will make good come from it. And praising the Lord helps us to overcome a spirit of despair.

God bless you!

I put up a dream that I need help understanding also
This testimony / vision is so beautiful sunbeams4Jesus. Praise God. Someone bumped this by posting a false doctrine but your testimony about what the Lord is doing in your marriage and the words he gave you have blessed me.
This device would not previously "Publish" this comment, but after leaving and returning here it has now published what I am now editing, below:
"Whatsoever (Jesus) says to you, do it." John 2:5
That verse is a quote of the Virgin Mary which has for too long and too often been ignored by people whose religion consists of being anti-Catholic, and who need to repent and to stop telling devil's lies about "Catholics". Yes, there ARE some VERY serious "Catholic" issues which need to be addressed and rectified, including the fact that the Church has been infiltrated by wolves, one of which is the papacy usurper deceitfully calling himself "Francis", and who is a false prophet using all good things of the Church heritage as his Trojan Horse/"Angel of Light" deception device.
Now concerning one of the five dream/visions with which the Lord has blessed me over the past 50+ years:
During one night in (I think it was) 1999 I was shown a dream/vision during which the Virgin Mary and an Angel were standing, facing me, at opposite ends of what I thought was a large picture of the USA: The picture portrayed this nation covered coast-to-coast with disasters, (tornadoes, floods etc.) and which depicted what had actually been occurring during the 1990s.
It was during that period also I had been trying to promote a special, nation-wide, pro-life project which involved the use of a literally concrete work of art signifying the keystone of Jesus' seven creation stewardship-oriented teaching commands (which I was blessed to discern in 1988) whereby to help provide faith, hope, charity, and conscience-formation for those who are in need and receptive, i.e., conversion to a living faith in Jesus.
However, during that period of the 1990s I had encountered nothing but adversarial reactions and rejections and betrayal by both "Catholic" clergy as well as some of the laity, i.e., the people who should have been most supportive of "my" project; one of which clergy, a now deceased well known cardinal to whom I appealed for support, but to which appeal he never responded but instead stole "my" project etc. (-too many details to go into here.)
St the time (1999 or so) I did not think the dream/vision was a prophesy of what was to come, namely 20+ more years of the same disasters which we have been witnessing, and so I did not know what to do regarding that dream/vision. Neither figure spoke or said anything to me, but for several years I felt that there was a message for me in that vision: It was not until about 2 or 3 years later that I was pondering the dream when it suddenly clicked that there were 2 messages that Heaven wanted to give me:
First, I suddenly realized that the large "picture" of the USA covered with disasters was NOT a mere "picture" but a PAINTING! A WORK OF ART, and that showing me such artwork having such a graphic imagery meant two things:
(1) Heaven was thanking and letting me know of Their appreciation for my having spent much of the previous decade, and most of what little income I had, trying to find support for the pro-life/art-employing project (which had also an evangelization function as well).
(2) The second and most important "message" consisted in the fact that during those years I had made appeals to exhibit this art form to various secular art museums locally and in other parts of the nation, not one of which curators at those museums would allow the exhibit of my pro-life, Gospel-based, Christian-values-promotional art form; and which they rejected in favor of "art-works" which had nothing to do with Faith except to perpetrate sacrilege against what is good and holy; and so, which "secular-minded artworks" were the curators' preferred "art" and for which, in principle, they demonstrated their support for only pro-abortion art patrons whom they did not want to offend or embarrass by the pro-life, Gospel-based art I had been inspired to create.
So that what Heaven was also showing me was there had been serious consequences to the nation because of the anti-Christian preference for things which have no Christian foundation or values. What the democratic immoral majority of USA citizens (and republicans who aided and abetted the "liberal" licentiousness of such democrats) had sown in their choice for God-less "art", and many other cultural expressions, they were reaping in physical devastation to their otherwise Divinely created environment.
Ten years later, I received the most recent dream/vision in which the Angel who previously appeared with the painting showed me many examples of how corrupt and ungodly the USA had become: After he did this he told me of a name to be employed to serve some purpose of - I surmised - responding to such corruption. I cannot make that name and concept known right now; not until I have completed a certain book on which I've been working since 2018 when I began to receive insights and had made a great many discoveries of things detailed in the aforesaid book.
However, the evil one and its spiritual and human minions, plus my own poor health, have caused this book's completion to seem impossible: But I know "all things are possible with God". This current work in progress book is what has turned out to be the introduction to the curriculum of Bible-based study text books I've been developing since 1988; several of such works include a British cultural, Christianity-oriented novel, and there are two Bible-theme/oriented classical music videos which can only be created in the UK.
I obtained a passport to travel there in 2020 just prior to the virus outbreak; but the stimulus funds I had been sent have dwindled down to too little to so much as purchase a plane ticket; and so, I am simply trusting in the Lord to help me find at least one literary/media/arts patron in the UK. What I need for starters are tens of thousands of dollars to store various personal possessions here in the USA till I return, God willing, to the USA; many of which possessions relate to the media/ ministry I've been working toward since 1988: Once I arrive in the UK I anticipate locating someone having millions to spare and donate whereby to create these very exceptional media/arts evangelization projects.
So, I am not asking for funding here, but only someone's intensely fervent prayerfulness that I realize the means to facilitate these projects for the people of the UK, there being no Christian/Catholic-cultural heritage patrons here in the USA: None. Zero. Zilch. However, I have reason to believe that what I have to offer to the people of the UK can turn out to be beneficial to many other people in many other nations, and which I certainly hope and pray will include the USA.
Thank you for reading this, and may God richly bless you for your prayerful intercession!
