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!
