When Vicki Rose's husband became a believer in Jesus, she wanted to help change details

of his lifestyle immediately, but she had to back off and let the Holy Spirit do his work.

If I'm constantly nagging at Billy, he can't hear the Lord.

And so be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry.

That is the message that I have to keep even now to tell myself, for me to listen to God and to listen to Billy and to keep my mouth shut.

And like, God, work in Billy's heart and light.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Thursday, February 12th.

Most of our Reviver Hearts programs are recorded in Little Rock with our family life today, ministry partners.

And the reason we're at WR&B studios today here in South Florida is because we have a very special

guest who's been with us on the program this week and is telling what I think is such a

compelling story of the mercy and the grace and the power of God.

I remember my dad used to say when we were kids, as we would talk about difficult marriages

or people who were just you didn't think could ever come to faith in Christ.

My dad would say, there are no tough nuts for God to crack.

And I've seen that be true over and over again.

And Vicki, Rose, you and Billy,

humanly speaking, were tough nuts. But the Lord knew how to get a hold of your hearts he did.

And I'm so thankful that you're here with us on the program this week to share that story with

our listeners. We were very tough nuts. And we were very lost. We were, as I always say,

out there drugs separated from each other after nine and a half years of marriage, two young

children, being a single mom, working a retailing career, traveling all over the Orient,

the Far East. Jewish background. Jewish background. We had so many things going on.
