Most
people believe that 'true marriage' comes as a result of 'religious
beliefs being confirmed' rather than 'purposes being confirmed.'
|
"When
we have no perfected idea of who and what we are, 'we will
pervert the ordained dimensions of life, relationships,
marriage, and sex' in our quest to 'search for the answers to
this disturbing pain in our mind, body, and spirit.'" |
Oneness is not the result
'of a mutual agreement of religious ritual,' but the agreement between
Significant Destinies.' Many individuals have been destroyed in their
lives as a result of remaining committed 'to the law of a certain
doctrine or ritual,' at the expense of the True Reality of the Spirit
and His Desire.
1. Do not marry
'simply because you share denominational beliefs.' Just because you
have mutual denominational ties 'do no mean that you have mutual
Destiny ties.' Many have married because they share 'politically
correct beliefs according to denomination, but are not joined
according to Purpose in Spirit.' Many divorce because of differences
of perspective of Vision. They divorce 'and remain in the same
denomination.'
2. Do not marry
'simply for sexual liberty.' Many are ignorant of God's purposes for
their lives, but hold to a politically correct understanding of the
concept of 'better to marry than burn.' Many do not want to 'offend
God,' so they marry. However, God is more offended 'when you put
yourself in a situation that will hinder you from believing and
resting in Truth.' Many marry, then suffer in their spirit because
'they want to be free from the marriage and are held captive 'by the
scriptures regarding marriage and divorce.'
When you marry 'merely for
sexual liberty, but lack insight into who you are in Christ, instead of
burning in your flesh, you will find yourself burning in your
frustration as a result of feeling trapped in a marriage gone bad 'by
the Word of the Father you were trying to please when you got married in
the first place!' It 'ain't worth it my friends. You must know who you
are!
Do not marry 'for the
occasion of sex.' Once sex has been done for the moment, 'the reality of
life yet remaineth, and you will have to face the challenges of growth
that you are faced with.' Life will happen regardless of sex or not.
3. Purpose
determines marriage, not denominational values. Outward expressions of
the Bible, spiritual doctrines, etc. does not mean one will have a
healthy marriage.

Marriage should not be
based on 'politically correct beliefs of religion, but of mutual
oneness in God ordained responsibility.' A spiritually blind or
irresponsible person, can also have 'doctrinal knowledge.' His
'doctrinal knowledge may help him/her speak to the pastor, but their
laziness and comfort in irresponsibleness will cause a 'rift or a
divorce' at home!
4. Your marriage
should be established in Truth, not in religion or ritual. The
pressures of maintaining a solid relationship 'in church' can also
cause a strain on the real issues 'at home.' A marriage cannot thrive
'when it is double minded.' A marriage cannot thrive in effectiveness
'when it continues to wear a mask of success.' Marriage, once again,
should be established in oneness of purpose and not merely on the fact
that 'both parties have the same politically correct beliefs in their
denomination's bylaws and interpretations.'
5. As much as we
don't want it to be, divorce is still a painful reality. It still
happens, even with people who love God. In order to be healed in a bad
situation of marriage, even to become whole again after a divorce,
there must be a true desire to 'discover one's true identity in the
Life of God, not the 'life of religion or ritual.' You cannot use religion
to be the 'escape from the responsibility of discovering God's true
purposes for your life.' Your purpose 'exceeds the demands of Sunday's
departmentalization, and is designed to bring maximum fulfillment to
your life in all things.
Bringing your life under the
subjection of God's Will is perfect, yet uncomfortable. It will manifest
various falsehoods that were once esteemed as 'truth.' You will not
thrive in the fullness of life 'when you become satisfied or entrenched
in the powers of a falsehood formerly received as truth.' You cannot
afford to even have 'a little piece of it.'
God desires to join lives that reflect His Outlook, and not merely the outlook of the denomination.
God joins Himself together, and not what the denomination joins
together. He joins together His True Purposes, and not merely one's
attempt to hold to the 'rules of religious perspectives or rituals.'
One can know the scriptures
and even the established doctrine of one's organization. But knowing the
scriptures and 'knowing God,' are two different things. The politically
correct thing to say is 'I love God with all my heart.' But if I cannot
communicate to my spouse, and truly articulate my love to her and my
family in deed, mind, and spirit, THEN I WILL LOSE MY FAMILY.
Knowing the scriptures 'do
not guarantee a healthy marriage or successful intimacy in marriage.'
Covenant Partnership is based on the Truth that both individuals have
become and is becoming.

Now,
I am not saying that knowing the scriptures and sharing a common bond in
the faith is not important. It is very important. However, I speak of
the maturing process that should be established in the life of
individuals 'before they are married, or even while they are married.'
When this process is established, the true motives of covenant
relationship will be revealed and produce consistency throughout the
marriage, even during turbulent times.
Having the foundation of
Destiny in the beginning of marriage 'will help during the shiftings and
transitional periods of marriage.' It will help secure the individuals
during 'emotional and mental transitions' that are brought on by growth,
sexual maturity, and Spiritual development.
6. Experience is
something 'that cannot be mastered by reading a book.' It must be
'lived in, touched, and felt.' You cannot read a book on how to be a
wife or a husband. We can read about the insights and experiences that
others have faced. However, 'it is still mandatory to face the
turbulence yourself.' You will be constantly challenged to make
decisions during turbulent times, and you will have to subject
yourself to them. This is why learning the Principles of the Kingdom
as it relates to your personal identity is so crucial. We speak not of
'learning religious theories.' We speak of learning the intricate
parts of your personal destiny and inner purpose in God as it relates
to life and fulfillment.
When we have no perfected
idea of who and what we are, 'we will pervert the ordained dimensions of
life, relationships, marriage, and sex' in our quest to 'search for the
answers to this disturbing pain in our mind, body, and spirit.' We will
distort the power of love in our search for love. We will abuse the
awesome purpose of sexual fulfillment and sexual energy 'as we search
for the touch to end all touches.' When we don't know who we are, 'we
will destroy the very thing that was given to us to perfect our life
here in the earth, as well as the Spirit.'
