Revelation about Marriages
by MarliynIt's no secret our marriages are being attacked. I believe we all know in our heart that we are in the end times. I believe we all believe we have been brought together for a purpose, and God "is" going to use us to wake up the churches in issues that the church has either refused to address or blinded to truth.
I was sitting in front of my puter, and just thinking in awe of how the Lord has given me grace and mercy, as well as others. What came to my mind specifically was how GOD softens the heart of even heathens to favor His children i.e. The gas and electric. He softens the heart of someone we don't know to allow us more grace so we may live in comfort.
Then this thought came to mind. GENERATIONS, the church has been told that GOD does not believe in divorce. He is in to restoring marriages, BUT both partners must agree to work together for GOD to be able to restore the marriage.
Our prayers are primarily focused on our partner, more than ourselves. God, bring my husband home. God, give him a desire to love you more. God, change him into a loving Godly man.......etc. Then the thought came to me WHY?....why? do we come before God asking for some kind of a change in our spouse. This is a word for men, as well as women!
WE PRAY IN FEAR...... WE PRAY, BUT WITH DOUBT....... The church for GENERATIONS "and" GENERATIONS has been lied to! Satan - Lucifer the Prideful, has confidently and arrogantly planted a seed that has created a cancer in the believer's lives.
There has been an abundance of, if you will, notoriety to signs and wonders... Healing diseases, straightening backs, legs growing to match the other, eye sight restored, why, in the church I attend, we even have a man who was placed in a room in the hospital left to die, and was cold and getting hard, but a prayer cloth was placed on him by his mother believing GOD would bring him back to life... ..he had his head run over two times - he shouldn't be alive. He comes to church every Sunday. Walking and mentally fine. She believed with NO DOUBT OR FEAR.
BUT NO GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS ABOUT MARRIAGES BEING RESTORED; MARRIAGES BEING RECONCILED.....
Satan has embedded a lie from the very pit of hell in the mind of the church, claiming that marriages cannot be set free from the hands of hell, "if" one of the spouse's does not agree to change. Well, according to how we look at the circumstances in the flesh, that sure sounds logical and realistic.
So the abused, down trodden spouse begins to pray for the other, sometimes almost a begging nature for GOD to change our partner...Guilt usually plays with the mind of the abused - emptiness-fear....FEAR - DOUBT is in our prayers. If we check our motives...we will find most of our prayers to GOD about our spouses, is based on fear and doubt...exactly what satan wants.
God does not waiver in His Word. He does not speak in double-mindedness. Listen again to what we have been told ......God wants all marriages to work...He does not believe in divorce, HOWEVER.....our spouse has to want the marriage to work also.... FEAR has been in our prayers re marriages far too long.........
IT IS NOT UP TO OUR SPOUSE .........IT IS UP TO GOD..... IF GOD CAN USE A COMPLETE STRANGER TO KEEP OUR GAS AND ELECTRIC ON...........NO ONE CAN DESTROY A MARRIAGE..... we have been led to believe that GOD is a miracle worker in everything but marriages.....
What is the answer...I believe we must renounce the lie from satan, that it's the discretion of the spouse. THEN check "our" motives why we want this marriage to work. How many of the abused spouses pray out of fear of being alone, fear of having no place to live, fear of not being able to provide for ourselves, MONEY is a big motive....we hold on for the wrong reasons....We beg GOD because satan told us it's our spouse who makes the decision, which increases much fear and anxiety BECAUSE now we feel rejected. WHO HAVE WE MADE OUR GOD? We placed our spouse before GOD. He has become our idol.
As long as we hold on to the lie that our spouse makes the decision, we will be subjected to torment, and fear, and doubt, and rejection. GOD IS A GOD OF RESTORATION, but we get in the way because of that seed that has been planted GENERATIONS AGO. IT IS GOD WHO MAKES THE DECISION .... NOT SATAN, AND NOT THE OTHER PARTNER....
So we plead...what we need to do is edify each other so much, that we forget about that lying seed of doubt, fear, and rejection, and begin to believe that GOD WILL RESTORE - We have to let go....forget our partner....and find out what GOD wants to do with us....We have a great need to be healed emotionally.
I know a lot of this may sound familiar, and it seems to make sense, but we must believe the decision is not up to the partner. BUT GOD...
I believe a lot of us stay in an unhappy situation, and abusive situation because rejection, fear and doubt are major strongholds. We pray girlfriends but don't have the faith or trust in God, we fear more being left behind by our spouse.
Many of us come from various forms of abuse. Therefore rejection, fear and doubt keep us chained. We're praying the right words, but we're praying with the wrong motives....I'll bet there are many partners that know they married out of the will of GOD. I did, not once either.. We have to want to get fixed emotionally "first". When we get fixed, our motives will change, our eyes will be open and we will hear GOD's call on the marriage. Not our spouse.
GOD.....satan knows the last thing we want to hear is we aren't loved, and GOD is an awesome GOD, BUT we say silently, I'm the one who has to suffer and be alone.... That's where we come in..the body of Christ has to renounce this lie...How can we edify each other if even those happily married believe the spouse makes the decision. God's testing our faith and trust in Him now more than ever.
I made a decision to let Michael go. The devil NO MORE is going to play havoc with me...My prayers, I truly believed were sincere, but they were sent out with doubt and wrong motives, and satan has been playing with me far too long. I've allowed him to threaten me, instill fear so I won't make waves. It is not up to satan, it is up to GOD. I'm no longer going to pray wimpy prayers. It's going to be GOD show me my faults, my weaknesses, my selfishness, my sins. Show me why I married my husband. Show me the real reason I'm holding on to my husband. I'm going to do what has to be done, no longer in fear that he won't want me, or he won't provide for me, BECAUSE SISTER'S.......FEAR WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING...I'M PRAYING DEAD PRAYERS. I ask that you all keep me in your prayers. This is a gigantic step.
If you want to clear the air so doubt, fear and rejection can no longer torment your mind, and you are willing to confess, not for any reason but that we have sinned against GOD, I BELIEVE GOD AND THE ANGELS ABOVE AND AROUND US, WILL BEGIN TO APPLAUD, DANCE AND SING BECAUSE THAT LYING SPIRIT OF FEAR, DOUBT AND REJECTION WILL NO LONGER BE HIDDEN, AND NOW GOD CAN DO SIGNS AND WONDERS IN THE MARRIAGES, AND THE ANGEL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION WILL LOOSEN MARRIAGES ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE HAVE TO GET OUR EYES OFF THE IDOL(our partner) AND FOCUS ON GOD, and once and for all say enough is enough, I want to be made whole and with a sound mind. Get PRIDE out of the way.
Stop making excuses. Women of Faith.....This is only the beginning... The Lord wants to heal YOU. He wants you to have your self-esteem back. He wants to fill you with His love. We have to open the door of our heart and let Him in so He can begin surgically removing the scars, the festered wounds. He wants us to be brave and take off the many masks we wear hiding the pain. He doesn't want us to be used and abused. I pray to GOD, the Lord somehow, allows me the affordability to travel around the country to those that are crying out for help and a desire to be made whole. He's going to use everyone of us, if we walk in His obedience. I BELIEVE THAT. Our loving Father brought us to the right place. We were all called here...this is no coincidence.
You see, it isn't my husband who has to change, it's "me"....Don't BOX GOD IN. When I'm whole - I will see my husband through the "real eyes of truth"...Don't you all want that also?
I hope to GOD I made sense.....I hope to GOD this was all from My Heavenly Father and not from me..........I love you all so very much,

Look what Esther did Ladies.....We are Esther's........I BELIEVE THAT.....
"YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT". When this lie is proclaimed and renounced where he has no holding power....not only will the marriages be restored, but it will knit the church back together also. Some of our marriages won't knit back together again - but it will be GOD... not man who makes the final decision.
It doesn't matter whether we have questions about even wanting or not wanting our marriage put back together. We are married. We must walk as married women. That doesn't mean we must stay in an abusive situation, nor does it make us single if we leave. It just gives GOD room to fight the battle that satan has empowered far too long.
Who dares to be an Esther?
I'll tell you a secret....our spouses are hurting just as much as we are, but we were chosen by God to change first...
A lot of this doesn't sound like a "new" revelation does it? Sounds like "old" advice, doesn't it. Then tell me? Why aren't marriages getting restored? WE HAVE TO RENOUNCE THE SEED OF DOUBT "FIRST" THAT SATAN HAS USED FOR GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.
