Matthew 19:4-12 (Amplified Bible)
4He replied, Have you never read that He Who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
5And said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be united firmly (joined inseparably) to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?
6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder (separate).
God intended for marriage to be Indissoluble, permanent and instead of looking for ways out we should concetrate on how to stay together!
I have sat with many woman who are overcome with fear, anxiety, depression and uncontrollable emotions. Starting with me being one of them!
Inevitably those of us that are married focus on our husbands and look for them to meet our need.
Yes we can desire for our husbands to love us and show us affection, praise us and support us.
But ultimately we need to go to God to meet those needs and than when we do receive them from our spouse it is a blessing not an expectation!
I have spent many years waiting and manipulating my husband to love me and do what I wanted him to do. Only to cause myself much heartache, which lead to the anxiety and uncontrollable emotions.
It was when years later....( by my choice to wait that long because that is how long I tried to control) that God was in control. When I allowed God to change me, He in turn changed my husband.
When I learned to trust God, focus my eyes on Jesus, that is when He took care of the circumstances around me.
We have a present truth and a past truth. The past truth is based on experiences, hurts, failures and lies.
Where as our present truth is based on God's mercy and grace!
This past weekend our Pastor preached on this very thing.
Do we believe that Jesus is hyped on you?
He is madly in love with you. We need to believe what God believes about us
Change the past "I AM's" .....I am not worthy, I am unlovable, I am unforgivable.......
God says You are Worthy, I love you, I forgive you.
We are righteous through Christ and if we don't believe it we are only living half the truth!
Jesus came to give us life and give it abundantly!
Grace means we no longer have to work- it frees us to not have to fix me, or them or it!
Jesus does that. When we fix our eyes on Jesus we are free to go and serve others.
God takes away and makes new everyday, Every moment!
God believes you are His treasure, He searches for you and He desires you.
Today replace one "I AM" lie and line it up with the word of God and what He says about you!
