material, martyrs and marriage - June 7, 2008 - 07:11 AM
Hello, We need to pray for marriages and it is Gods will for good in all things. He wants the best for us but we do not trust him all the time especially when trials and tribulations come. It took faith for Abraham to offer Isaac knowing that God said 'Thou shall not kill". It was Abraham’s relationship with God that led him to hearken to the voice of the Lord. He did not go running to a special group devoted for fathers and sons togetherness because we are to raise the children up in the way they should go....... We should not forsake the fellowship, but we need to be sure we have a relationship with the Lord so that when he speaks to us, we hear His voice above our hearts and above our desires and what we feel is best for us. Arene is preaching to Arene now-so never think that I am talking from standing over there. We have to get back to basics. The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. Please go to the following website www.biblecrosswalk.com and type fear in the area of on line “Bible Study Search for”. Read the Psalm about fear. You have fear of the relationship failure, fear of not knowing what to do, fear of not knowing what life will be like without the idol (that husband who is not a husband or that wife who is not a wife) many of us women want to pretend we are martyrs and really need to seek God to see if this is what he wants for us in a bad marriage that if we looked back and be honest was not approved by God. For example: I have heard women say to a man that God said you are going to be my husband or claim men etc.: later when things go wrong, it is "please pray for this marriage". If this is really the case, ask for prayer and say to the man "your faith and knowing that your belief you are doing God’s will to just stay married and not get a divorce-that you will not bother him while he sows his oats elsewhere just as long as he does not divorce you, you will wait even if you are 100 years old"-you will wait even if you have to endure him flirting his affair in your face, you will wait even if you see him with the children and lady of his desire, you will wait even if he is so mean and disrespectful, you will wait even if you have to depend on your family and the government to take care of you while he supports those who he loves, you will wait because that is what you believe. What will be his defense in this if you are not arguing with him; you are willing to allow him to do what he wants as long as he does not divorce you. This will be the greatest witness to him and actually show great faith in you. God does not take away our free will, but we know that because we are afraid and love this guy, his free will needs to be bent towards us because the only rule God has is that He is not for divorce? Do we really have faith in God and him sustaining us or fear in losing a man? Gods word is firm, constant and it does not change-yet we will put stipulations on it to suit our needs. One way to keep the marriage that the man does not want to be in is to become a hand maiden in his new relationship. Who would dare divorce a woman who is willing to be a servant to him and the woman he "thinks" he loves? Obedience is better than sacrifice: Exodus 20:1-17 1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's. Is there one missing that says thou shalt never divorce? 1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. REMEMBER THE CHILDREN: They will have a difficult time seeing the parents present as christians for public and behave like demons in private. ladies it is hard for a child to comprehend mommy loving daddy when its ugly and daddy is cheating and beating and abusing. Men, it is hard for the child to understand love when the love is obviously killing your spirit by abusing you. some are able to keep thier joy of the Lord and others are not. Your faith looks bad when you complain and look like you do not mean wht you say by saying you forgive and you will wait until that spouse turns around and God is good ,but you are totally showing that you are miserable.
