Beschreibung

God loves relationship. He created us to be in relationship with Himself. And He created marriage for man and woman to reflect that divine union of love, joy, intimacy, and fruitfulness. No matter the present condition of your marriage, God is well able to invade it with His supernatural love and power to create a supernatural marriage for you and your spouse. Seven Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage leads you on a journey of understanding Spirit-led intimacy so that man, woman, and God are brought together to create an entity that Satan has no reliable way to attack, no useful battle plan to defeat, and no effective weapon to destroy.

In 7 Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage, Dan and Linda Wilson have written a book that restores the elements of wonder and awe to marital relationships. The authors present a simple profile of a Christ-centered marriage in which love and honor are the paramount virtues, and the supernatural power of God is allowed to flow between the couple and God continually. I highly recommend this book not just to every married couple, but also to those who are getting married or want to get married!

Dan and Linda Wilson brilliantly weave together the story of their supernatural encounters with God and how they have transformed both their lives and their marriage. In 7 Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage, you will get an inside look into the process of how God opened Dan and Linda’s hearts to receive this truth, the lessons they had to learn along the way—particularly that of lordship—and how living in God’s supernatural presence has brought great benefits and blessings into their marriage. This is a timely and needed message for marriages in the church today. Once again, God chooses to touch every person in the body of Christ—the little ol’ me’s—with His presence and for His glory. Dan and Linda are certainly no exception.

The men of Issachar from 1 Chronicles 12:32 understood the times and knew what to do. In the times in which we are living today, the infrastructure of world society is deteriorating due to the onslaught of the enemy against covenant relationships in this hour. Dan and Linda Wilson’s timely book, 7 Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage, will inspire you to seek and find improved intimacy with your spouse by allowing the Holy Spirit to draw you together toward complete oneness in Him.

7 Secrets is a treasure. In it, the Wilsons invite us to dream big, sharing the keys to spectacular marriage. Through childlike response to God’s grace, these secrets lead to new heights of intimacy and fulfillment. They are not theoretical. Each secret manifests vividly in the beautiful romance Dan and Linda share with each other and the Lord. Having known them for over thirty years, I can testify that these two embody supernatural marriage and they glow with the joy and peace of Jesus. We would do well to follow their example!

What a story and testimony of a walk with God in marriage! This is what God intended when He created marriage for our good and welfare. As in all of life, we cannot live supernaturally without God in our affairs. We were not meant to love and live outside of God and His amazing grace. In a day when so many marriages are on the rocks, such a book is really needed to be able to appropriate the truths and the Truth that make such a marriage possible. Indeed a cord of three strands is the secret of such a time together! May our Lord revive holy marriage in our churches and homes.

PETER LORDPastor, Speaker, Author of The 2959 Plan and many more resources

Long before the Wilsons put pen to paper, those of us who have been blessed to know Dan and Linda have seen the unfolding of the concepts of this book. Their marriage has been godly, beautiful, and deep for decades. How incredible to see the transformation of a truly exemplary marriage into a supernatural marriage! The increased depth of oneness, passion, power, and joy in the Holy Spirit are invitingly presented in these pages.

BOB BEAVERPastor, Christian Church of San Angelo, San Angelo, Texas

I have had the privilege of knowing Dan and Linda Wilson for a number of years. Dan is a scientist and eye surgeon who looks for accuracy and knowledge founded on solid, tangible research. It is impressive that, at the same time, he recognizes the need for the miraculous work of God intervening in our lives and relationships. He and Linda pursue the heart of God with an intense focus, which is evident in 7 Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage. I recommend this book to all who are married and all who intend to be married. I believe this material, if applied, can revolutionize marriages all across the world.

D. LELAND PARISPresident of Youth with a Mission, Tyler, TexasFounder/CEO of Humanitarian Relief Organizations

Wow! When the Chinese in our churches first met Dan and Linda they were very surprised because, although grandparents, they appeared as a newlywed couple. They were one in spirit, heart, and mind as they daily walked as faithful Christians. I recommend this book for those who want to have the fullness of marriage that comes from being focused on the Lord. Anybody who wants to read this book will never, never be divorced.

“MISS CHOY”Chinese leader of over 700 regional house church networks

We believe that marriage is honorable above all and is instituted by Almighty God. God always wants to see healthy marriages and united families come and worship Him in the church together. We really admire and thank Dr. Dan and Linda Wilson for their passion in writing 7 Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage. Hundreds of broken families are already reunited in India through their teaching and books. We can boldly say that the divorce rate is now slow in our region of India just because of this couple. They are proven teachers and authors in India through their work and ministry. We cannot praise highly enough the vision and purpose of this book. We appreciate their emphasis on supernatural marriage. This is one of the best books on marriage written by a couple who practice what they preach. It’s a book we urge every person to read and be blessed by. As they say, “Holy is always fun.”

PASTOR IMANIYEL AND SIS NISSI JVOTHI VINNAKOTAPresident and Vice President, Hope Mission, India

When Dan and Linda came to Kenya in May 2008, while in Mombasa, they taught wonderful lessons on marriage. These teachings removed walls satan had erected against our marriages and satanic limits came off. It was like the children of Israel during the time of Gideon (Judges 7:16–21). These teachings taught by Dan and Linda will cause the glory of God to be seen in our marriages just like when the jars were broken and the torches shined brightly.

About the Authors

FOREWORD

Dan and Linda Wilson’s new book, 7 Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage, will wake you into new dimensions of passion, covenant, and romance with your spouse. It will shift the very foundation of what it means to come into agreement with the kingdom of heaven for your marriage. This book is full of insight and godly wisdom, and it will challenge, inspire, and equip you to change the way you view intimacy.

The Wilsons exhort their readers to walk in their divine decree as world changers and history makers through supernatural marriage. 7 Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage is a Messiah’s mandate…a divine strategy to raise up powerful and fulfilled marriages filled with extravagant intimacy and continual communion.

Imagine a world where every marriage is supernatural—where every husband and wife have embraced who they truly are and are living from their identity. There would be no broken homes. Orphanages would be closed down. Children’s hearts would turn to their fathers. There would be no sexual addictions, no desire for pornography. Divorce would not exist. Supernatural marriages are a sign and a wonder that will lead the world into revival.

Whether you are newlywed, have been married for years, or are preparing for a great marriage, 7 Secrets of a Supernatural Marriage will equip you to fulfill your dreams and could change the future of your marriage. No matter what your marriage currently looks like, this book will take you to the next level. I highly recommend it!

PUTTING SUPER INTO YOUR NATURAL

Every Sleeping Beauty wants the man of her dreams to kiss her, awakening her to a marriage where they live happily ever after. Supernatural marriage is not a fairy tale. You can know the secrets so that you can enjoy the ultimate marriage experience with your mate.

Did you have childhood fantasies? It is likely that during childhood you had dreams of what it would be like to someday be married—perhaps even pretending to go through marriage ceremonies in play with your friends. God placed those thoughts of marriage in your heart.

During your time of engagement, there was probably a gradually increasing anticipation and excitement about the upcoming wedding—the two of you being united to become one. The optimistic hope you held about how wonderful marriage could be was not vain. It was based in the reality of God’s desire for you and your partner.

Do you want your marriage to be super? Of course you do. Everyone hopes their love relationship will be above and beyond the norms for society. Who wouldn’t want experiences with their partner in marriage to be satisfying and good?
