    I am sorry regarding the death of your ex-husband and your children’s father. I just learned of the ministries and the things you have had to walk through with the LORD. I will pray for you and your family. I am also a person who experienced a horrendous betrayl. I had to walk away from a corporation that was an outreach for youth. My husband was in a two year affair with a pastor’s wife; he refused to step down and get counseling and his board didn’t hold him accountable. I knew I could not stay in that situation. It was more than the adultery that provoked me to divorce my ex. I have a good understanding of the pain you endured. I had been with my ex for 30yrs. and married 26yrs. I also agree that the best advice to give is to not loose yourself and never become more desperate for the marriage over God. I thought God would not be pleased with me if our marriage didn’t work. God made it clear that my salvation was not established in my marriage and that the gifts and talents were placed in me long before the marriage. You are much younger than I and have recovered much quicker. If only I had the foundation you had at such a young age, I believe I would have more accomplished by now. I spent years fighting for my sanity and getting to place of forgiving him. God bless, I pray that all that God has predetermined and destined for your life in heaven will manifest here on earth and that you and your children will know peace beyond understanding during this difficult time.

    Truly Pastor Riva nothing just happens, God I believe truly gives premission and without His approval the enemy can’t touch us. Stay positioned and alligned in Gods will I guarantee you Pastor Riva He will take care of you.I too have a story and with 3 babies ages 2,3 and 7 years my husband was tragically killed in a motor accident. Can I tell you I remarried had two more girls one of which just this year won a $180,000.00 scholarship and she wont finish high school until next year but God has made ways possible that just simply supernatural. He did it for me and I know He will do it for you.
    He’s on His way to receive His bride and she (the Church) must be positioned and alligned in accordance to His perfect will and way. The righteous is always secured in Christ Jesus! To Him alone Pastor Riva be all the glory and Praise. His strength is made perfect in our weakness…With Love and Prayer, Heather In Nassau Bahamas…

    God thru your husband (many days) spoke blessed messages and promises to me via the television screen. My husband and I would look and listen and of course smile sometimes at Pastor Tims striking resemblence to Will Smith (actor)… Both you and your husband have been such a gift..very DYNAMIC -you both allowed God to use you (please don’t stop..don’t give up…keep praying on…). I’m praying God’s peace at this very challenging time for you and your children and extended families. May His peace reign in your heart ALWAYS…Remain Blessed Pastor Riva!!

    Hello. I am a pastor from Baltimore. We are praying for you and your family. We met your former husband while vacationing in Florida. He was very friendly and hospitable, but I sensed he was “going through”. My husband and I prayed for him. We were saddened to hear about his passing. As a pastoor of a deliverance ministry, I have realized that many in leadership in ministry are saved, but not delivered. Our Bishop-Bill Hamon of Santa Rosa Beach (Christian International) teaches the 10 “M’s” of ministry, which tells why God makes the man before manifesting mighty ministry. I believe he was a good man who fell back into what was familiar to him when under stress. We love you and are praying for success in leading such a blessed ministry. Love you in Christ.

    True dat like one of the commentors said… and the bible even said ‘our lives doesn’t consist of the things we possess. We are the ones that were created for God’s pleasure! True PRiva never loses your identity in Christ in whatever you are doing on earth! If you have a relationship with Christ you will not allow any body to mess with your temple! Dat devil is a liar! But our God is good! Continue your ministry to Him and He will direct you. There are true men and women that fear God and won’t mess with the temple of God-in adultery! Satan has sent agents among to pull down servants of God in shame to embarass and stop the work of God! Let’s pray that the church will be prayerful, get delivered and stop our generals from being taken down by money, women, and drugs. The devil’s tricks are not new! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever!

    God remains the God of justice, and this was meted on His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We are living in times when believers are questioning their belief. This means the word of God is being judged whether it is for real or not you be the judge. This brings to mind the garden of Eden moment. We can see that what God declares remain from everlasting to everlasting. God is the only true foundation, since nothing can separate us from the love God. Keep the faith. Grace has taken care of our assurance. Jesus Christ is Lord.
