What a mess, so if you wish to stop the bleeding.
This morning after much prayer, marriage and some issues concerning it have arisen. God's original plan for marriage is seen in Matthew chapter 2: verse 24. Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and she'll become United and cleave to his wife and they shall become one flesh. Other references can be seen in Matthew Chapter 19 Verse 5, 1st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 16 and Ephesians chapter 5 verse 31 through 33. This is urgent to keep in mind. There are some other points about marriage besides this one. Inverse 24 of Genesis chapter 2 I love the word United, and the word cleave. This is clearly not just a physical attraction but a spiritual action. When your United and you cleave this is what occurs. In my studies I also came across Malachi chapter 2 verse 16. For the Lord God of Israel says I hate divorce and marital Separation and him who covers His Garment or his wife with violence therefore keep a watch upon your spirit that it may be controlled by my spirit, that you deal not treacherously and faithless with your marriage mate. Wow. You see, when we are studying God's word praying worshipping and serving the Risen Savior, it comes to our minds that regardless of wives that were living idolatrous lives we are not to lay our hands on them. We are to keep a check on our own spirit that it is controlled by Gods spirit otherwise Mad Men We Become.. I know first hand that this is a difficult task in a lot of the situations. That is through the carnal eyes. Through The Eyes Of God we see our mates differently in a better light. We tend to be more forgiving, we try harder. Now historically speaking idolatrous wives were to be divorced in Jewish culture. That was one of the reasons for the scripture in Malachi chapter 2. Now the scripture also says that God hates divorce and when we separate. There is usually nothing good coming from separation. I know the world says differently. But I seek out the heart of the Almighty. Not man-made judges. We live in a very Wicked and adulterous culture. Where sexually, almost anything goes. Let's look at something else look at 1st Corinthians chapter 7 verses 10 through 12. Now in this chapter 7 a couple of different things are discussed concerning divorce and separation. The Apostle Paul first makes it clear in versus 10 + 11 that it is the Lord making this charge. A wife is not to separate from her husband, but if she does separate and divorce him let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband. Then Paul said that he charged that the husband also not put away or divorce his wife. We also can look at Matthew chapter 5 verse 32, where it says that if your divorce is not for sexual immorality, then any remarriage is adultery because God does not acknowledge the divorce. Wow. According to this I personally have to confess that for many years I made a sticky mess of God's original plans for my married life. But as we all will know, once it's gone too far you must stick with what you have confess your sin and begin 2 change your opinion and your heart towards your existing mate. Now what does it take to do that. 2 read this scripture and study it and pray and start seeing marriage the way God sees it. My goodness what a mess millions of people have made of a beautiful thing that the almighty God has created. In our nation of America we should begin to teach our young people God's truths. Even when it means we confess to them our bad decisions. We must explain to them the spiritual Beauty of loving God first and we're both mate Place God first then themselves. I do not believe that once you go to far, that u can't be forgiven. Yes you can, and it reqiures both of you to repent. Then things will change. Trying to go back can be sticky as well. Down right horrible for some who try it. If you wish to stop the bleeding, then both of you repent together and move forward to a loving respectful marriage. God bless and believe God.
