A Marriage Made In Heaven

Marriage is sanctioned by God. One might say what does that mean. It is a formal decree, ecclesiastical decree. Solemn agreement, an oath, its binding. To give effective or authoritative approval or consent to.

On the other side of sanction is the detriment, loss of reward or coercive intervention annexed to a violation of God's law as a means of enforcing God's law. A consideration, principle or influence that impels to moral action or determines moral judgment. We have the law of the land which set laws of social control for enforcing society standards.

God calls for us to live holy. He calls for us to live Godly and have Godly character; stable character and stability. In this we find that we will fall deeper in love with God and each other. We must find out where we belong; that's in the hands of God. We obey and do His Will. You give your life to God and live a clean godly life, holy that brings honor to God. This place will not let you go back when pressured to.

I Chronicles 16:11, seek the Lord and His strength, seek His face continually.

We are to have steadfast endurance in the Lord. If we continue in God's Word, then are we his Disciples. The righteous shall also hold on to his way. And he that have clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. In my writings its relevant to today as to what spirit is operating in the Church of Jesus Christ today. The bridegroom will come but many won't go up with Him when he comes. The Church is the Bride of Christ and is failing to portray Jesus and what He set forth as God commanded. The Church is a marriage made in Heaven; sanctioned of God and of a single heart.

In a vision this morning I saw a marriage of this man and woman. I was left to catch a ride later. When I arrived the men of the church was there, the guy and woman that got married, but the wives of the preachers were not there. Many walk as two, a husband and a wife but they are not in the same accord when it comes to God and his house. I came for a short time as I had work to do. I was treated like royalty when I stopped in by mother. She was glad I made it to the wedding.

We have in the natural many marriages not sanctioned by God. Men have made choices in their lives that will bring detriment, injury, damage or negative effects to their ministry. In other words a baby cries for their daddy, these priests will do much crying. Proverbs 18:22, whoso finds a wife finds a good things and obtain favor of the Lord. Many have not favor because what they desire is of a natural effect instead of Spiritual. So now they have to deal with all of those natural parts when God never ordained this for you. It is better Solomon says to dwell in a corner than with a brawling woman in a wide house. If we are one, the Lord and God have to teach us it will take time for us to teach another especially when their heart is on their own selfish wants.

Exodus 22:16, and if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed and lie with her he shall surely endow her to be his wife. Too many people are sleeping around in the church and moving on to some where else. God is not pleased. They do God the same way. Many marry God for a few weeks until they get what they want and leave God. Marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled. Why do we defile our spiritual marriages? God is not pleased. We take His Holy name and abuse it. If my husband is a Wolfe, why wouldn't I want to attach his name to mine if I truly love him? Why wouldn't I act like I am a married woman? Then if we love man how much more God. Many saying they are children of the most high is not carrying God's name well at all. Sure we run into mishaps every once in a while but not willfully and everyday. If we say we are married to the Lord, then we carry His name in a respectful way. Declare I am a child of God! If we love man, how much more God? How can a man go to meet the Lord and leave his wife behind? She should be with him. Not only that she should desire to be with him also. But if it's a problem don't forget God. God has not done us anything to make us deny Him his due.

Our desires has to be in the right place and in proper order. Genesis 2:23-24, and Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man. He went on to say therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be on flesh. How can we be so mean that we cut each other down? When we cut each other down, we also cut ourselves down. I love my husband and forgiveness comes easy. We don't hold grudges when we are in Christ. We forgive and pray for one another. What we are, we was that when we go married. We are not to give occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully; discrediting each other, expressing disappointment or displeasure in with no one. If the others conduct is unworthy or blame worthy, they need to amend their ways; and pray.

Many marriages is in a mess and we need to get it right. Marital mishaps most times go on without repentance on both parties. When married couples go on without being forgiveness one to the other it will keep them out of Heaven. We need to repent at the time of the act and keep a repentant heart after the fact. As one of my formal Pastor preached a message “It's Okay”. Well I started using the phrase and when he questioned me about my marriage I said “Its Okay”. He replied back it's not okay. He said “do you know what you have done”? I said again “Its Okay”. I had the faith to believe the Word he preached, so I grew in my faith. He knew that I had gone through a lot and he wanted better for me, and I love him for that. But it was okay because not only did he deliver the message, God sent the Word for this moment in my life and those words reminiscence quite often after it was preached.

Can't nobody do you like Jesus, no one will comfort you like Jesus. We are to have singleness of heart. My grandson on last night was crying for his dad that was murdered a few months ago. This morning he cried again. No morning or night goes by that he don't cry for his daddy. It hurts me that I cannot give him what he wants. He wants his daddy there with him as he always was with him 90% of the time after he was laid off from his job last November. He made two years old today, December 3, 2010. He wanted his daddy to come so bad he cried until he fell out on the floor. I took note of it and asked God to help us, help this child. God said to me “if this child fall down and holler for his daddy what is wrong with my children”. This child cries with love for a daddy that has been taken away from him. Why do we not cry to God like that, with adoration, praise and worship expressing our love for the God we say we love? Do we really love God or do we love what he does for us that we are not thankful for? It's time to stop playing church like the little kids that play house. We have a God we can call on anytime and He will answer because He can be found. There is a reason for our selfishness. We have not reached the place of praise and true worship yet. Some think God owes them something for their selfish indignation. They walk around proud, high and lifted up but God will bring us to our knees.

We must be stable in our relationship with God as well as with our natural spouse. What we are to be is single hearted. Our relationship is characterized by sincerity and unity of purpose or dedication. We are to have one driving purpose or resolve. We are to please God. When men please God, wives please their husbands, and children please the parents, we can take on singleness of heart and mind. Our sole purpose is to keep withing the boundaries of God's standard set forth in His Word; Holiness. Our relationship with God is exclusively attentive. We have an eye for the truth and is not easily unbroken or undivided. Our lives are devoted to one God and our life style is that of the Lord Jesus Christ. Spiritually we are to be united to Jesus that unites us with His Spirit and they both unite us to God. There is nothing that should break your relationship with God. A broken marriage, divorce, murder, interrogations, attacks on your character, homelessness, nakedness, perils, past relationships, disobedient children, wives, husbands, mother, father, coworkers, or friends. We experience many things in life; but do we love God enough to continue our walk with Him? God knows all things and many things He allow you to see, its not to be said. Hold fast to your marriage made in Heaven. Be steadfast, fixed, not changing or fluctuating, unvarying, permanent and enduring in your relationships. God wants us to be steady in our purpose. Why do we serve God? We can't serve God in insecurity, or emotionalism; according to how we feel. It is of utmost importance that our minds are sound and resist the forces of the enemy. Christians we should not be disturbed with the world affairs that will curtail us in our walk with God, we cannot be altered or changed.

Because of who we are in Christ we can have a marriage made in Heaven
