A Bibical Study Of Satan In Your Marriage

[kristie]

<div class="post">

<div class="inner" id="msg_18191">I decided to do a bible study

on satan, to give better insight as to who satan is and how he works. I

looked up every verse in the bible that had “satan†in the text. I then

looked up the theological explanations for every verse or passage and

noted them as well (typed in red text). It was a very interesting study

in that every scripture that contained the word “satan†applies to

‘restoration of marriage’ teaching as God has given me directly all

these years. Up until now, I have only taught here what the Lord has

given me through rheema word (given to me via my spirit). I have then

followed the theological readings with a personal notation of how each

relates to restoration teaching (typed in blue text). I felt that this

may help some of you feel more secure in seeing for yourself things that

I have told you, directly from the word of the Lord and from the

theologians who decipher the word of God. Hope you enjoy and gain much

strength and wisdom from this study. <br><br>1Ch 21:1 Now Satan,

designing evil against Israel, put into David's mind the impulse to take

the number of Israel. 1Ch 21:7 And God was not pleased with this thing;

so he sent punishment on Israel. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Evil

and suffering. David recognized his error, but Gods judgement was still

visited upon the people. The effects of sin in a persons life cannot be

eradicated totally even by repentance and remorse).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Satan

and his demonic accomplices are the ones who oppress our spouses and

put thoughts into their minds. They whisper thoughts to them, impulses

to act upon those thoughts. God is not pleased with the things they do,

and He does send punishment upon them..just as He did His loyal servant

David. If God will punish David for his actions at the promptings of

satan, why would we ever even think that God will not punish our

spouses. David was Gods chosen one, and the direct linage of Christ and

the reason Christ is sometimes referred to as the Son of David.

Repentence does not save us from the punishment and we do reap from

everything we sow, just as David did).</span><br> <br>1Ch 21:12 Three

years when there will not be enough food; or three months of war, when

you will go in flight before your haters, being in great danger of the

sword; or three days of the sword of the Lord, disease in the land, and

the angel of the Lord taking destruction through all the land of Israel.

1Ch 21:14 So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of

seventy thousand men. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(This

passage may seem to picture God as very harsh and vindictive. It was

crucially important for Him to establish in the minds of His people the

importance of following His will, not that of satan or themselves. It is

a serious matter to act against Gods will in a flagrant manner. The

destruction here seems enormous – but if later generations profit from

this lesson, it will have served its purpose. Even in exercising His

wrath, God does what is right and just. The most faithful of Gods people

make mistakes. King Davids command was evil and brought Gods judgement.

Even judgement brought evidence of Gods mercy). [/color<span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">](Gods

punishment is right and just. It is His punishment that changes things.

Fathers and mothers are the direct influence on their children, and

their childrens children and on down the lineage of family. So sin

committed becomes a generational curse upon familys, each generation

repeating the offense they learned and the continued passing down of

such sin. God will punish and stop this sin behavior to profit the

entire generational lineage, which is actually merciful for the whole.

It is a serious matter to act against Gods will, for spouses to go

against the will of God for marriage, to bring generational sin upon

their children and the generations to follow. Gods intents are always

for the good, to establish in the minds of His people the importance to

follow His will and not that of satan. You may feel like your spouse is

getting away with their sin, but this will not be allowed and in Gods

timing they will suffer the wrath of God to get them turned back

around).</span> <br>  <br>Job 1:12 And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I

give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man

himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord. Job 42:7 And it

came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to

Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends,

because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

Job 42:8 And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant

Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will

make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you

have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has. Job 42:10

And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer

for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice

as much. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(God tested Jobs

faith. Job shows Gods revelation can occur in unexpected situations –

tragedy, suffering, debate with friends, and debate with God. Such

revelation shows God is the author of hope and forgiveness, not evil,

suffering, and legalistic religion. God permitted satan to test Jobs

faith. Job was obedient and provided an example of obedience to all

Christ’s followers. The author did not specify whether Jobs children

were conscious of their sin, the crucial factor was the mind of Job

himself. Acting as priest for his family, his preoccupation was pleasing

God. He sought to intercede with God on behalf of his family. Prayer

for sinners is a constant duty of Gods people, but our prayers cannot

bring forgiveness for anothers sins. Each person must confess personal

sin and seek personal forgiveness. Satan, not God, was the direct cause

of Jobs suffering, God however remained in control of creation, and

without His permission, satan could not have acted. Human beings sin

because an outside force (demonic) influences people to trust their own

judgements and desires rather than trusting God and His good will

towards us. Gods servants designate people, like Job, who wish to do

Gods will. Gods servants are ordinary people who allow God to use them

according to His purposes. After all of Jobs trials and tribulations,

God blessed him twice as much as He had before. This happened after Job

had repented and prayed for his friends. Ultimately, every person who

trusts in God will have a happy ending for his or her story).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(As

we impress here upon members, God allows this assault on your marriage

by satan, in order to test your faith and to strengthen your faith, to

bring you up levels in Himself. Trial is the way to growth in God, to be

put in a position where you have absolutely nothing or no’one else you

can go to for help. This is the position you are in when your spouse

leaves the marriage, because there is nothing you or any other human can

do to change the mind of your spouse. Only God can touch the mind and

heart of your spouse, and you are totally dependant on Him to do so.

When you are placed in this position, you come closer to God. You cannot

help but grow in God, because you are put in a position where you have

to get one on one with Him, have to pick up His word and learn it, learn

His will, and learn how to do spiritual warfare. These things bring you

into a new level with God, and that is the purpose of God for you in

this trial and tribulation. When all is well in our lives, we are good

at not paying attention, not devoting ourselves to making time for God

and learning His ways and word. Trials force us into a place where we

have to stop our regular routines and give attention to God. It is a

season God has allowed in your life to raise you up in Him. God is

testing your faith and stretching it like a rubber band, making it grow

to larger then life. The revelations of God come through trial and

tribulation. As we have taught here, the changing of you is more factor

in this trial then the sin of your spouse, just as with Job. It was not

so much about the sin of his family, but the mind of Job. The testing of

Job. You likewise have been called out to be the priest of your family,

to intercede for your spouse and family. God remains in control of His

creation, including satan and his demonic forces as I stated in the

explanation of getting into spiritual warfare. Your spouse has went into

sin because an outside force (demonic) influences them to do so, to

trust their own judgements and desires rather than trusting and obeying

God and His good will in marriage. Gods designate people is yourself,

like Job, who wish to do Gods will in your marriage instead of walking

away yourself and then God uses you according to His purposes to restore

your marriage. Your obedience to Him to stand and intercede for your

spouse and marriage will bring you double blessings in your marriage,

just as it brought Job double blessings. This is more about you, then it

is about what your spouse is doing, God has control of your spouse as

He has control over all His creation, including the one influencing your

spouse, and His will is going to be done, He is just using this trial

to bring about a new you., which will lead to a new person in your

spouse and your children as well, and all those who follow in your

lineage).</span> <br><br>Zec 3:1 And he let me see Joshua, the high

priest, in his place before the angel of the Lord, and the Satan at his

right hand ready to take up a cause against him. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Satan means "accuser" in Hebrew. One of his roles is to bring accusations against people in the Heavenly council). </span>Zec

3:2 And the Lord said to the Satan, May the Lord's word be sharp

against you, O Satan, the word of the Lord who has taken Jerusalem for

himself: is this not a burning branch pulled out of the fire? <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Satan

does not care for your spouse or the other person, if one applies. He

influences them to do his bidding, but he also accuses them before God

when they do. He is loyal to none, and satan himself accuses so that God

will give permission to satan to extract a punishment upon the person

who sins. This is how a persons own sin does them in, how their sin

overcomes them. God turns them over to their sin and their sin itself

brings punishment upon them. God is in control however, and like with

Job, He only allows satan to do so much to the sinner. Satan was the

influence behind Joshua’s sin, and satan was there to accuse him of that

sin before the Lord, but Joshua’s ultimate ending was redemption in the

Lord, the branch being pulled back out of the fire. Your spouse as well

will be pulled back out of the fire, once God allows their sin to

overcome them and they are brought to pure misery in their sin).</span><br><br>Mat 4:1 Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One. <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Jesus responded to all he said with)</span> Mat 4:4 But he made answer and said, <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">It is in the Writings</span>.....

Mat 4:10 Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the

Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only. Mat

4:11 Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took

care of him. <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(We are to

follow Jesus in how we defeat satan from our marriage and lives. We

speak the written word of God..â€It is written that God says what He has

joined together, let no one separateâ€. It is written that the

adulteresses/adulterers lips drip honey and her/his speech is as smooth

as oil, but in the end she/her is as bitter as gallâ€. It is the word of

God, and the word of God defeats satan and makes him go away).</span><br><br>Mat

13:37 And he made answer and said, He who puts the good seed in the

earth is the Son of man; Mat 13:38 And the field is the world; and the

good seed is the sons of the kingdom; and the evil seeds are the sons of

the Evil One; Mat 13:39 And he who put them in the earth is Satan; and

the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get

it in are the angels. Mat 13:40 As then the evil plants are got together

and burned with fire, so will it be in the end of the world. Mat 13:41

The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his

kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do

wrong, Mat 13:42 And will put them into the fire; there will be weeping

and cries of sorrow. Mat 13:43 Then will the upright be shining as the

sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Satan

caused the weeds in Gods world. Weeds are “sons†or followers of satan.

At the end of this world, those who do evil will be punished. Satan has

power to deceive and delay. He does not have power to win the final

victory. Both God and satan seek to win followers in this world. God

allows satan’s work to flourish for a while to prevent the destruction

of His own followers. Judgment for sin may be delayed, but it cannot be

escaped. Present circumstances may indicate righteousness is foolish and

unrewarding, but ultimately the righteous will receive their just

rewards).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Satan has

power to deceive and delay, to deceive your spouse into sinning and to

delay the restoration through you in your inability to become like Job,

having full trust and faith in God and His word and will for your

marriage. Note though that never does he have the power to win the final

victory. Remember that he can only do what God allows for Gods

purposes. We have established that Gods purpose of trial and tribulation

is to test you and your faith…and it is you and your faith that will

hinder the restoration, your lack of such that satan will use to cause

delay. Restoration is assured because it is the written word of God, but

God has purpose in this trial you are in, to bring you into a closer

revelation of Him and relationship with Him. The given…the restoration

itself..will be delayed as long as it takes for God to get you to where

He needs you and the purpose He allowed this for. If you feel like you

are there, then you may be or you may not be. God knows what all He

wants you to gain, and sometimes we cannot even recognize some of those

things until we get the revelation. Revelations come from God, they are

not something that we can see and know before they come to us. But if

you are still in delay when you know you are where God wants you to be,

and I still say there is no way for us to know this, I have felt that

way many times and then surprisingly God did slam a revelation home to

me about something I needed to change that I thought I was fine in, but

there is another purpose that also has to complete, and that is your

spouses sin overcoming them and teaching them a lesson of truth and

obdediance to God, so that they can come to the place of wanting change

in themselves as well..of which you will be the priestly example for

that spouse and your family). Judgement and punishment of sin can be

delayed but never will it be escaped. And even though there are times

when we feel like all that we are doing is yielding us nothing, that it

is just foolishness for us to keep perservering in this stand, the word

reminds us that ultimately we will receive the reward of perservering,

the reward will come in Gods timing when all His purposes are

completed).</span><br><br>Mat 16:22 And Peter, protesting, said to him,

Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.

Mat 16:23 But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you

are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on

the things of men. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Jesus

was tempted by a close friend, Simon Peter. The evil one sought to keep

Jesus from suffering as Gods Messiah. So did Peter, and Jesus recognized

the voice of the ancient enemy in the solicitous concern of a friend.

Jesus replied that Peter was speaking the devils will and that such

concerns had to be put behind Him as He set about His determined march

to the cross. Peter represents our human tendency to avoid suffering and

unwittingly accommodate ourselves to a realm ruled by satan. To belong

to Christ is to follow His way of self denial. All other roads are laid

out by satan). </span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Many

of you have come to me questioning your stand because someone you trust

and think of as a Godly person has advised you that you should just

move on, that your spouse has freewill, that you just need to accept it

and move on yourself, that you are being foolish in standing for your

spouse and marriage. Peter was a faithful follower of Christ, yet even

satan used him, put it into his mind, to try to stop Jesus from going to

the cross, from doing the will of the Father. Those around you can

either be deceived outright by satan, his lies about the word of God,

his lies about freewill, about marriage and divorce, and some of those

around you could be influenced by your suffering, just wanting to stop

your pain because it makes them uncomfortable. The accommodate

themselves to satans influence to stop you in either case. Do not listen

to those doomsayers, because even though they may go to church and

normally be upright persons, good friends to you, they are accommodating

themselves to the lies of satan to try to stop you from being obedient

to God, to stop you from receiving your miracle. There is no greater

miracle then salvation, as Christs intentions were in the going to the

cross for all of us. Peter, tried to stop salvation at satans influence

into his mind. Satan still tries to stop miracles and salvation, this

time of your spouse. Rebuke what those people say and only listen to

what God says. Remember Peter the next time someone gives you false

advise). </span><br><br>Luk 10:16 Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to

me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against

me, is against him who sent me. Luk 10:17 And the seventy came back with

joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your

name. Luk 10:18 And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from

heaven like a star. Luk 10:19 See, I have given you power to put your

feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is

against you: and nothing will do you damage. Luk 10:20 Do not be glad,

however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are

recorded in heaven. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Satan

is the tempter and accuser who brings charges against people before the

Heavenly throne. His defeat and ouster from Heaven became sure when

Christ gave His power over satanic forces to His church. The church must

be intent on defeating satan. It is a call to confess Gods power and

certain victory over all that opposes Him. Evil is subject to followers

of Christ. These signs, revealed through the disciples, teach the nature

and purpose of God. He makes good to rule evil and redeems all who

submit to His loving and good will. Gods people are to rejoice more that

they have received His mercy and forgiveness then in their power over

evil spirits).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(We

are Christ’s church, each and every one of us. Our bodies are temples of

Christ. So when we think of the church, it is not a building in which

we go to worship God, it is ourselves. Christ gave you power of satanic

forces and you must mind set to defeat satan. Anything that opposes the

word of God is of satan, and you are to confess Gods power given to you

and victory over all that opposes God. Satan and evil are subject to

you. God rules evil, He is the creator of all and He is in control, and

through you evil is driven out and your spouse is redeemed. You have the

power, and if you submit to Gods will for your marriage, and use that

power invested in you through Christ, you will drive out the evil from

your spouse and marriage. Rejoicing over that, praising and worshipping

God for the power and mercy in your situation through that power that He

gives you, is much more important then just rejoicing over the power

you have against satan and his forces. Praise and worship in thanks for

what God has given you is one of the most powerful things you can do for

your restoration. It is one of the most important keys to your

restoration miracle. During my active stand I went to my home church

sanctuary every night and praised and worshipped God in thanks for a

couple of hours. I asked my Pastor permission to have free access to the

church after hours, and he provided me with a key to get in. He showed

me how to use the sound system and lights, and every night I went into

the sanctuary alone, sometimes even at midnight if a church event was

going on that evening, and I would put the lights on dim and load praise

and worship cds in the sound system and I would dance and sing before

the Lord in thanks. The Holy Spirit always met me there, for we enter

into Gods courts with praise and worship, the Holy Spirit comes to us

when we praise Him. The Spirit would take over and I would go on and on

until the Spirit brought me to a end in the vigil, and it was always two

hours, but it always seemed to pass quickly because there is nothing

like being in the presence of God..it is glorious. Most nights when the

Spirit would bring me to the point of end, God would give me a word for

my marriage, or someone elses. I did this for a couple of months, then

would take a week or so break and go again for a couple of months, and

did so until my spouse came home. I truly believe it was one of the

greatest keys to my victory. I knew that Gods word could not fail, so my

restoration was assured, and for me it was more a time to worship and

get close to God, to thank Him for all He was doing in me and in my

spouse and marriage). </span><br><br>Luk 22:3 And Satan came into Judas

Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. Luk 22:4 And he went away and had a

discussion with the chief priests and the rulers, about how he might

give him up to them. Luk 22:5 And they were glad, and undertook to give

him money. Luk 22:6 And he made an agreement with them to give him up to

them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Satans

control over Judas did not relieve Judas of guilt. Satan cannot make us

do what we do not choose to allow him to do. As did Jesus, we have the

power to resist satan and temptation if our faith is strong).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(As

I have always taught, there is a door open by which satan and his

demonic forces come in. Satan cannot force himself upon us, we do

something that allows satan to come in and get a foothold. This could be

something very obvious, such as wrong things in the household in the

way of movies or books displeasing to God, or a sin we commit. It could

be just strife between you and your spouse…which God tells us to not

strife with one another. When there is something in our lives that is

not pleasing to God, satan will come, he is the accuser remember, and he

will oppress the person and try to influence them into sin. You have

heard me state that any thought satan or his demonic forces put into our

minds, we have mere seconds to cast it down or it can seed, and then

that seed can root and grow, we move from pondering on the injected

thought of satan to obsessing about it and then to acting upon it. Much

like a scenario I have given of a man passing a woman in the office and

satan injecting a thought of the woman being attractive. Then satan

influences more encounters and friendly chitchat, and then lunch

together, and then next thing you know they are in a full fledged

affair. This all began with that one wayward thought of the woman being

attractive. The man pondered the thought instead of casting it down.

Then satan orchestrated talk in the office and just kept getting things

cozier and cozier between the two. We however have the power of God to

reject and cast down, to be aware of the danger zone we are treading in

and to get out fast. When we instead give in and follow, satan and his

demonic forces will overcome us and take over for their purposes, and

their purposes or to steal, kill and destroy).</span><br><br>Luk 22:31

Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put

you to the test as grain is tested: Luk 22:32 But I have made prayer for

you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned

again, make your brothers strong. Luk 22:33 And he said to him, Lord, I

am ready to go with you to prison and to death. Luk 22:34 And he said, I

say to you, Peter, before the ****'s second cry today, you will say

three times that you have no knowledge of me. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Peter,

like all of us, did not realize how treacherous it is to make rash

commitments that satan can use to his advantage. Satan has power over us

only when faith fails. Christ prays for us and waits to restore us. We

can learn from our failures and use the experience to strengthen others

so satan cannot use them). </span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(There

are several teachings that could relate to this verse and instruction.

Rash commitments makes me think of making rash vows to God. Ideally, in

everything in our life, we should seek God. When we choose a spouse, we

should only seek God, let God bring us the spouse He chooses for us. But

how many of us seek and wait upon God to bring our ideal spouse? I hear

about believers marrying unbelievers, thinking it will be okay, they

will bring that person to the cross, and then they have a mess in a

house divided, as God warns strongly about. Not waiting on God and just

making rash commitments can bring us much grief. But like Simon, it is

not an excuse to sit down and let go. Simon did exactly what Christ said

he would, he denied Christ three times when the going got rough. But he

did not keep on denying, he repented and he went on doing the will of

Christ. Marriage is a commitment, a vow to God, and when the going gets

rough, we are to keep on going in God. You may have made a mistake along

the line, did not listen to God or wait on God in the choosing of your

spouse, may have walked away from one marriage and are now suffering in a

subsequent marriage, which we do reap what we sow, but you made a vow

and must honor that vow now. Satan does sift us like wheat, and God

allows us to be sifted…the testing of Job, the testing of you in this

tribulation you are in. A test as to if you are going to honor the

commitment made to Him in your marriage. Your spouse also was sifted

like wheat, put to the test, and they failed because you are here

reading this. They denied Christ in just the same way when they chose to

listen to satan and do his bidding instead of Gods. But there is hope,

just like with Simon, in them being turned back again and God will use

them to witness to others when they are, to help strengthen others.

Jesus prays for them and waits to restore them. And we are to pray for

them and wait for the restoration as well. Likewise we, from this trial,

also strengthen others to follow in the same trial).</span> <br><br>John

13:2 So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into

the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him, John 13:27

And when Judas took the bread Satan went into him. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Even

though satan may prompt one to sin, the choice to submit is still that

of the individual. John related the betrayal of Jesus not only to Judas,

but also to the source of all betrayal, the evil one satan. John speaks

of Judas as betrayer from the beginning. Jesus did not choose Judas so

that he would betray Him. Jesus had to be betrayed, but Judas did not

have to do it. All of the disciples were potential betrayers of Christ,

as are all of His disciples today. The difference between Peter and

Judas is that Peter sought forgiveness, Judas did not. Satan entered

into Judas as he does into all willing persons. Judas must be held

responsible for his betrayal and we for ours. When Jesus perceived Judas

and the high priest’s soldiers coming, He looked behind them to the

ultimate betrayer, the prince of this world, satan).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Satan

is behind all sin, all betrayal, the betrayal of your spouse against

you and your marriage. All sin comes from satan. Satan cannot get in if

we are doing right and walking with God. Your spouse by whatever means

gave satan access, the initial choosing to listen to satan, fall to his

temptation was on your spouse. It gave satan a foothold by which satan

was able to totally overcome your spouse and now has control. Your

spouse will be punished as we talked about in the first passage and that

punishment will bring them back to the cross. Peter sought forgiveness

and went on to continue service to God. Judas was overcome by guilt over

what he had done, and instead of just seeking forgiveness, he took his

own life. It is very obvious that Judas suffered even more greatly then

Peter for the offense committed against God. He did not even consider

seeking forgiveness and going on in that forgiveness, he punished

himself in the most severe way. But all in all, the offense against God

brought great misery which resulted in repentance or horrible death with

great remorse being behind both outcomes. Those in sin against God will

suffer great misery and Godly sorrow).</span> <br><br>Act 5:1 But a

certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

Act 5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to

it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. Act

5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to

the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Act 5:4

Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it

not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine

heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Act 5:7 And it was

about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what

was done, came in. Act 5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether

ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Act 5:9

Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to

tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried

thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Act 5:10 Then

fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the

young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried

her by her husband. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(The

greed of Ananias and Sapphira produced pre-meditated deception. This is

high handed sin against the Holy Spirit. They died, and the early church

interpreted it as Gods judgement on their deception. Perhaps they died

of shock at the embarrassing scene. This may have been the first death

experienced in the church after the resurrection. It shocked the

congregation, striking them with holy fear. Exactly how God causes

miracles to happen, we do not know. He may use natural laws of life and

death. He may intervene directly. To use religion and religious acts to

gain is a serious sin. Using deception to make the act appear greater

then it is compounds the sin. Such an act is not simply a game of

deception fooling friends. It is a lie told to God in the Person of the

Spirit. We dare not take lightly our religious acts or promises. God

does not take us lightly).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(I

included this passage, because there are many ways of greed and gain

for an individual and using religion as an excuse. Christian spouses go

out with another woman and state they are okay with God in doing such,

and even give false doctrine to justify their actions. When we falsify

the word of God in order to satisfy our own fleshly desires and gain for

our flesh, and then try to make sinful behavior okay with God, to our

peers, by twisting His truths about the behavior, this is lying to the

Spirit as well. Again, satan is the one behind all betrayal, and in all

betrayal it is not just against man but against God. Your spouse is not

just sinning against you, more importantly they are sinning against God,

they are lying to God, cheating on God. Many of your spouses are using

religious acts to cover their sin. They are sitting in church and

presenting themselves as Christians. Many are even sitting in those

churches besides adulteresses and adulterers, and they think they are

okay. This scripture clearly denotes that they are not lying to man, but

to God in doing this. To use religion or religious acts in their sin is

a serious sin against God. They will not get away with it, they are

making a mockery of Christ, of the Holy Spirit).</span> <br><br>(To Saul

me; Acts 26:17 And I will keep you safe from the people, and from the

Gentiles, to whom I send you, Acts 26:18 To make their eyes open,

turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to

God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among

those who are made holy by faith in me. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(God

reveals Himself in crucial moments in our lives, when we least expect

it, and turns evil experiences into redemptive opportunities).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(I

think this speaks clearly for itself. Get up on your feet standers, God

has come to you, brought this trial to you for this purpose, to make

you a servant and a witness of things you will see God in. He will keep

you safe from people, from your spouse and the other person, from

attorneys and judges, to make their eyes open and turning them to the

Lord, from darkness to light, and from the power of satan to the power

of God, so they can be redeemed. God uses and does all things for the

good of those who love Him. He loves you, and He keeps you and your

marriage in the palm of His hand, and builds you up in Him, making you a

true servant and warrior for His kingdom, to be a witness to His power

and mercy).</span><br><br>Rom 16:17 Now, it is my desire, brothers, that

you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among

you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away

from them. Rom 16:18 For such people are not servants of the Lord

Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words

the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked. Rom 16:19

For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this

reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in

what is good, and without knowledge of evil. Rom 16:20 And the God of

peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of

our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Innocence

and wisdom can go together. One must be alert to the dragging down

effects of those whose purposes are alien to the gospel. Once these

purposes are recognized and it is obvious such people cannot be won to

the gospel, they should be avoided. The church on earth is not perfect.

Some members sinfully serve selfish desires instead of Christ. We must

turn away from them and work with Gods faithful and truthful leaders).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Again,

this speaks about those who give you false advise to move on, the

freewill speech, and all we spoke of above..trying to lead you astray of

God and obedience to God in your marriage. They are deceived by satan

themselves. Keep away from them, do not share or discuss with them your

marriage or stand any more. Do not give satan space to drag you down

through them. Even if it is your Pastor, if he is giving false word to

you, then you need to seek a different church. You do not want to be

lead by one who accommodates satan. Note that the passage ends that God

will be crushing satan under your feet!).</span><br><br>1Co 5:5 That

this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,

so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(God

can use treatment of a person to discipline the person, leading that

individual to repentence and restoration with Gods people. Satan does

not intend to help a person towards salvation. Anyone outside of the

fellowship  of the church is under satans power. A believer cannot live

under such conditions  and will eventually return to God or die). </span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Your

spouse has treated you badly, betrayed you, and this again is a verse

speaking about how your spouses sin itself will be their discipline that

leads to repentance and restoration to God and yourself. Your spouse,

if Christian, cannot live under the conditions of sin, and ultimately

will come to one or the other, returning to God or dying, and Peter and

Judas are examples of this. Both stemmed from their misery in their sin.

Note that just because your spouse sits in church does not mean they

are in fellowship. When in sin, one is out of fellowship with God. We

are the church remember, and our bodies the temple of Christ, and when

sin is in us, the Spirit is gone from us. We cannot walk in both

darkness and light, it is one or the other. Your spouse is out of

fellowship with God, and they cannot continue this way. Satan influences

them into the sin, and he accuses them of the sin so that they are

turned over to him for destruction. Their sin will destroy them to the

point that they either turn back from it or they die in the acute

misery. Sin is never a fun trip, it will continue to get more miserable

driving the person towards death. It’s a one way ticket to hell, both in

living in it as well as literally).</span> <br><br>2Co 2:10 But if you

give forgiveness to anyone, I do the same: for if I have given

forgiveness for anything, I have done it because of you, in the person

of Christ; 2Co 2:11 So that Satan may not get the better of us: for we

are not without knowledge of his designs. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Evil

& Suffering, satan: Satan is involved in relationships seeking to

bring hurt and division. When love and forgiveness do not characterize

the church, satan wins. We must not ever underestimate his deceptive

resourcefulness). </span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Satan

has brought the division in your marriage, just again another statement

that satan is behind all sin and division. God calls us to forgiveness

for our spouses, and to love them unconditionally. I have had standers

that suddenly give up, declaring that they just cannot love this person

who has betrayed them. I have seen it mostly in male standers who have

wives in adultery, and they allow their pride to overcome their

obedience to God. They follow their flesh and decide that they just do

not want their spouse anymore. It really does not matter what we want,

more importantly is what God wants and expects of us. Which is to love

the unlovable. To forgive and to love them back to the cross. To allow

Him to give us the love for our spouse when our flesh cannot gather it

up. Satan is His enemy, and He gave His only begotten Son to save us

from that enemy. Jesus could undergo the betrayal of man and the torture

of scouraging and crucifixtion to save us, but we cannot withstand the

betrayal of a spouse to save them and our marriages. That is sad. We

just hand our spouses over and give satan the victory over them and our

marriages. That is not honoring God nor Christ in what He did for us).</span><br><br>2Co

11:2 For I have a very great care for you: because you have been

married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely

holy to Christ. 2Co 11:3 But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve

was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away

from their simple and holy love for Christ. 2Co 11:13 For such men are

false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles

of Christ. 2Co 11:14 And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able

to take the form of an angel of light. 2Co 11:15 So it is no great

thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of

righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Symbolizing

the church as the bride of Christ, represents the body of believers in

Christ. False leaders of the body preach a different gospel based on

human achievement. They win influence over Christians by treachery and

deceit. Satan is deceptive. Satan assumes the form of an angel to

deceive people. Only spiritual maturity and insight protect us from the

master of deceit. He uses people in the church to deceive Gods people.

Such agents or instruments of satan have no part in Christian hope).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Yet

another passage concerning those who try to lead you away from the

truth and what God has called you to do. But I loved this passage. For

me, concerning restoration, it took on more meaning. I have spoke often

about the sacredness of marriage between a husband and wife to God. How

God compares a marriage covenant between a man and woman to the

salvation covenant between us and Christ. That marriage covenant is the

second highest covenant in degree of sacredness to God..and hence the

reference between the two. So this passage also spoke to me about how

God has given us to be married by Him to one husband and vice versa. And

to keep that covenant holy, keeping us holy to Christ in that covenant.

And as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be

turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ. The spouses mind

being tricked by satan and them led into sin against the marriage,

turning away from their love of Christ and obedience to God, as well as

those trying to lead you away from your stand, and your mind being

turned away from your love of Christ…in that you will not be obedient to

God and His word and truth and go into sin yourself in not standing as

called to do). </span><br><br>2Co 12:7 And because the revelations were

so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there

was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me

pain. 2Co 12:8 And about this thing I made request to the Lord three

times that it might be taken away from me. 2Co 12:9 And he said to me,

My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is

feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that

the power of Christ may be on me. 2Co 12:10 So I take pleasure in being

feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on

account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Satan,

not God, is the immediate cause of physical and emotional suffering.

Satan gave Paul the thorn to torment him and divert him from faith and

ministry. God allowed satan to torment Paul and used satans instrument

of torment to increase Pauls faith. Gods grace is the power to endure a

heavy burden or difficult problem. This particular hardship was a

blessing in disguise, in one sense, for it produced strength of

character. It also made Paul rely upon Gods help in carrying this

burden. Gods power is made more real to us when we are faced with our

limitations and weaknesses)</span>. <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Again

we see that God allows satan to bring our tribulation, and God uses

that tribulation to increase us in Him, in our faith, in wisdom of God.

God makes Himself real to us in this trial, like we have never known Him

before. Gods grace is sufficient to get you through the trial also. I

have always said that to be in this trial and to be called upon God for

this trial is actually an honor, and we should have pleasure in the

thought that God found us worthy to be brought into a closer

relationship with Him and to be able to endure the trial with His

grace).</span> <br><br>1Th 2:18 For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Part of satans strategy is to change or delay the churchs missionary efforts). </span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Again,

we see a verse stating that satans goal is to change or delay your (the

church) mission. It is his stategy as I have taught many times. It is

his only defense. Delays will hopefully cause you to become disheartened

and give up and walk away letting him win. And we are the ones who

enable him to delay as we have talked about. How can satan change our

efforts, one way is coming as an angel of light, bringing another person

into the circumstance and like your spouse, convincing you that God

wants you to move on with this other person. Or just getting you so

weakened in your flesh that you just fall to your own fleshly desires,

you choose them over Gods plan and will in your marriage. Satan gets you

to change direction. Guard yourself and remain in obedience to God and

His word).</span><br><br>2Th 2:9 Even the one whose coming is marked by

the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 2Th

2:10 And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is

destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith

by which they might have salvation. 2Th 2:11 And for this cause, God

will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith

in what is false: 2Th 2:12 So that they all may be judged, who had no

faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Satans

power will not be curbed until the end of time. He will exploit those

who are not able to distinguish his source. Sinful people in all ages

lose the ability to recognize evil. When we grow in fellowship with God,

neither satan nor his representatives on earth can trick us into

believing his falsehoods. Satan is in the deception business and we must

beware of his powers. Gods miracles point to love, and this is how we

can recognize things of God. The one sovereign God controls the fate of

all persons. He has allowed evil to exist as a judgement on human sin

and a test of human freedom. People who love lawlessness rather than God

and follow lies rather than Gods truth have chosen condemnation rather

then eternal life. God has chosen to let evil triumph over those who

choose evil and reject Him).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Another

statement that God allows us to be tested, our spouses, and if we fail

the test our own sin will serve as judgment and punishment. God controls

the fate of everyone. He and He alone will be judge and jury and decide

who enters into His kingdom and who does not. Likewise He is control of

everyone’s  actions here on earth, man may make his plans, but God

directs his steps. When a man/woman is already sealed unto Him by the

Holy Spirit, you can be sure that God will not let that person run head

strong into the fate of eternal damnation, he will allow satan to use

their sin against them as punishment. He allows their own sin to triumph

over them and bring them low. Those who totally reject Him, His

salvation plan, their sin will triumph over them as well to eternal

damnation. Gods word is law, and anyone who does not follow that law is a

person of lawlessness, and satan has influenced your spouse to choose

condemnation over God and eternal life. They, even as Christians, are no

better off then the unbeliever and their fate would be the same if they

did not turn back. So even when ones spouse is saved, when they are

going against God and His laws, being men and women of lawlessness, they

are choosing condemnation and are no more saved at this time then the

unbeliever. God calls you to work with Him to bring them back to a fate

of eternal life. They had freedom to choose to either follow the enemy

into sin or to rebuke him and remain true to the law, they did not

recognize the evil placed before them, they were duped by satan. They do

not have freedom to keep running in that condition when a child of God

though. Their sin will bring them so low that they will cry out for

redemption as we seen in prior scriptures above. It is Gods purpose in

allowing their own sin to defeat them. It does not defeat us, it only

defeats them. Do not let their sin bring you low, instead know that

their sin will actually bring them low and turn them back, and that is

the plan of God, so rejoice that He is in control of their fate).</span><br><br>1Ti

put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life, 1Ti 1:10 For

those who go after loose women, for those with unnatural desires, for

those who take men prisoners, who make false statements and false oaths,

and those who do any other things against the right teaching, 1Ti 1:18

This order I give to you, Timothy my son, in harmony with the words of

the prophets about you, so that by them you may be strong, fighting the

good fight, 1Ti 1:19 Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing;

for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the

faith: 1Ti 1:20 Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given up

to Satan, so that they may say no more evil words against God. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(God

lets satan punish us at times to lead us away from wicked behavior and

back to Him. Paul warned Timothy that it was possible to shipwreck his

faith and have to be handed to satan for discipline).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Your

believing spouse has shipwrecked their own faith and you can be sure

that God is handing them over to satan, to their sin, for punishment

that will lead them away from their wicked behavior and back to Him, and

to you. Spouses who quote false doctrine to justify their actions,

spouses who claim they are alright with God in what they are doing, they

are speaking evil words against God. They are speaking the lies of the

devil, and God will not tolerate this. He will give them up to satan,

the accuser, for punishment to stop their evil words against Him. God

wants you to be strong and fight the good fight, to keep faith and be

conscious of doing well in this battle for your spouse, because those

who give up and themselves walk away, they have ship wrecked their faith

as well and will suffer greatly for that. Simply, it is one or the

other, darkness or light, lies of satan or truth of God, there is no

middle ground in between the two, and one chooses to follow satan, his

lies and to walk in darkness or to follow God, His truth and to walk in

the light. There are no excuses or rationalizations in choosing satans

bidding. There is only our own weakness and decision, the choice to

endure with God or to give up to satan. To give up is to walk in

darkness, just as much as our spouses are walking in darkness, it is

walking through a dark suffocating shipwreck of our faith and we bump

into things in the dark, it is a scary place of obstacles that bang and

bruise us up, until we are so beaten up that we again cry out to God to

bring us out and back into the light. Why would anyone want to detour

through the dark place? Endure and follow the law of God, remain in the

light praying your spouse out of the dark place and like Job you will be

rewarded).</span><br><br>1Ti 5:8 If anyone has no care for his family

and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one

who has no faith. 1Ti 5:15 For even now some are turned away to Satan. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Satan

uses the good natural desires God created to tempt us to lose self

control. Following sexual desires outside marriage is following satan).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Even

the theologian specifically points out sexual desire outside of

marriage as a following of satan. Pointing out that a person who would

do this to their family and those in their house is false to the faith

and is worse then one who has no faith at all. What does that say about

your Christian spouse who is out with another and having no care for you

and your children, their family. It states they have turned away to

satan..yet they will sit in the church and feel alright with God. I have

had many of you come to me fretting, saying your spouse is Christian

and in church and it seems like they are doing well, like they are

having no conviction over what they are doing, and the feeling that

maybe they are okay with God, maybe God forgives them and they are free

to move on with this other person. That is pure lies of satan. God has

said many times in these scriptures that to use religion in their sin is

great sin against Him, lying to the Spirit. That they are worse then

one that has no faith at all. Do not be deceived, the wrath of God upon

them is more then on one who does not use religion to cover their sin.

He will make them stop speaking evil words against Him, trust in that). </span><br><br>Rev

to be a choice topic of Gods also, those who oppose the law in the name

of religion are actually serving satan, though they say they are

do not listen to or put up with evil persons, and that you put to the

test those who say they are of God and actually are not because they are

following satan  and his lies against God. They are false, but you are

true and God will reward you. God knows your troubles and how poor you

are…long suffering, but He tells you that you have true wealth,

spiritual wealth that is worth so much more then anything else you could

have. He will reward your endurance to the end. We cannot know

individually how long we will have to endure, but the only thing that

matters is that we do endure to the end…it is Gods timing and He has

purpose in that timing. His timing is the best timing. He is not

uncaring about your troubles and suffering, He loves you and He is

pleased with you that you are enduring through that suffering. His

reward will be so much greater then any long suffering you go through.

We suffer greatly in childbirth, but then we forget that suffering when

we hold the reward of that labor. This is like childbirth, and you are

long laboring to birth a spiritual blessing. There is nothing greater

then the repentance of one man, it makes the angels in Heaven all stop

what they are doing and rejoice at the moment it happens. You are

plague that struck Israel while in Shittim (Nu 25:1-8) was blamed on

Balaam, who lured the Midianite women to entice the Israelite men (Nu

local standards of religiosity that contradict the gospel. Religion that

encourages immorality and lawlessness is sin).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Note

that as I have told you many times, we live where satan has seat. That

man, man in high places, judges are some of those men, opposes God and

us His people, by handing out mans divorce decrees so lightly. They are

under the teachings of Balaam, and note that the theologian states this

passage was about the Midianite women enticing Israelite men…it was

sexual sin. People in this world are enticed by satan and his

instruments (humans) to accept local standards of religiosity that

contradict the laws of God, the gospel. Even Christians have been

enticed, your Christian spouses who are accepting satans standards for

marriage, those who advise you to let them go are accepting satans

standards. Judges who issue divorces, Pastors who say it is okay to

divorce for adultery, this is religious teaching that encourages

immorality and lawlessness in sin, and they are following satan. They

are like Balak leading the children of God out of the right way of God,

and God has something against them. As the theologian states, living in

this world under such circumstances calls for you to have total devotion

and faith. That devotion and faith will protect you from these

standards of religiosity that contradict the gospel. When you are

willing to keep the law of God, God will make sure that His law keeps

you. He has control of these men of lawlessness, He can and will direct

their steps from Heaven. You just need to have total devotion and faith

to that fact).</span> <br><br>Rev 2:20 But I have this against you, that

you let the woman Jezebel say she is a prophet and give false teaching,

making my servants go after the desires of the flesh and take food

offered to false gods. Rev 2:21 And I gave her time for a change of

heart, but she has no mind to give up her unclean ways. Rev 2:22 See, I

will put her into a bed, and those who make themselves unclean with her,

into great trouble, if they go on with her works. Rev 2:23 And I will

put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he

who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will

give to every one of you the reward of your works. <span style="color: red;" class="bbc_color">(Jezebel

was one of the most notorious queens in Israel, who led the nation into

the immoral practices of Baal worship, she led Gods people to sin. The

woman Jezebel stands as a reminder of the insideous influence of false

teachers tolerated by the members of a church. Through her seductive

teaching, she had somehow convinced Christians at Thyatira that idolatry

and fornication were acceptable. Heresy flourishes where sound

Christian teaching lags. The New Testiment clearly warns people who do

not repent of evil that they will be punished. Physical and emotional

suffering are means God uses to punish such people. God the Son is

pictured here in verse 23, as the judge who acts out of His perfect

wisdom and pure righteousness. His righteousness is expressed as wrath

against evil. He knows persons and activities which threaten His church,

and He acts to protect His church).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(Again

more statement that your spouse and the other person will be punished.

My book, Jezebel Conspiracy is revelation that God has given me over a

two year period concerning the Jezebel spirit that works in marriages.

Jezebel is a spirit of adultery, a spirit that works in the adulteress

in the taking captive of your spouse. This revelation is much too indept

to tell you in any short notation, and the reason God instructed me to

write the book. But I just wanted to note that Jezebel is a key spirit

involved in adultery, and God will cast her down into a bed and those

who make themselves unclean with her (your spouse), into great trouble,

if they go on with her works. Your spouse is assured to suffer greatly

with the adulteress, God will make sure of that..hence her becoming as

bitter as wormwood, as bitter as gall). </span><br><br>Rev 2:24 But to

you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, even to those who have not this

wicked woman in the church can appear brilliant by teaching secret

doctrinal truth may appear to be brilliant and Godly, but they are

ignorant in the truth, they are deceived by satan, and they really have

no spiritual insight to satan and how he works. It does not matter how

Godly they appear to be, how spiritual they may appear, how wise they

may appear, no one is holy enough to not fall prey to the deceptions of

satan if they do not test all they hear against the true word of God.

Those people just accepted someone elses lie, someone that they thought

was all wise in God, they never sought to test it against the scripture.

victory is sure. He reigns in Heaven. Christians must still endure

suffering because satan is still loose on earth and enraged against

Christs followers because satan knows his time is short).</span> <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(As

I teach you, satan and his demonic angels (demonic spirits) are walking

beside you on earth, they are all around you, they are loose on this

earth and they go to and fro seeking those they may devour. They

especially hate us, the followers of Christ, and wish to do us in

because their time is short here and they know it. They want to take as

many with them as they can, and to secure a child of God is a real

victory for them. They are always at the root of all trial and

suffering, and they are the ones who enticed your spouse out, just as

they influenced Davids mind, and all the others you have read about in

this word, and they are the ones that you are fighting against to bring

your spouse back out of the darkness they have sucked them into. The

principalities, powers and rulers of darkness on this earthly plane.

They are here for the sole purpose to turn people here on earth from the

right way. It is your job to work with God, to enforce the laws of God

in your life and marriage, to bring them back out from under that

influence. Know who your real enemy is, who is really turning your

spouse to the wrong way, and fight them, not your spouse).</span><br><br>CONTINUED BELOW....</span></div>

<div class="inner" id="msg_18192">CONTINUED...<br><br>Rev 3:8 I

have knowledge of your works see, I have put before you an open door

which may be shut by no one, and that you have a little strength, and

have kept my word, and have been true to my name. Rev 3:9 See, I will

make those of the Synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not,

but say what is false; I will make them come and give worship before

your feet, and see my love for you. <span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">(I

wanted to end with this scripture because it says it all. God has

knowledge of your works for your marriage, and He puts before you a open

door which may be shut by no one, not by your spouse, not by some

judge, not by satan himself. If you keep His word and be true to His

Name, He will make those who oppose you and Gods law come and worship

before your feet and see His love for you, His reward to you. It is

assured brothers and sisters. Your spouses may mock you now, but in the

end they will hold you up and they will see that God honored your desire

and not theirs, and through you they will experience the reality of God

and His law and truth).</span><br><br><span style="color: blue;" class="bbc_color">Do

not let yourself be dismayed or discouraged, fight the good fight, run

the race, endure the long suffering, believe not with your physical eyes

and ears, but know that this word of God you have read will manifest

itself in your situation, and your spouse will suffer by the hand of

their own sin, and will be turned back from that sin, and you will be

rewarded with two fold blessing when that happens. Do not ever give in

and give up, but endure as His grace is sufficient to carry you through

this, and He will be true to His own word. Just wait on Him and His

timing, for it is perfect, and He is in control and will not let you

fail, will not withhold your reward from you when His time to release it

has come. Live each day in joyous expectation, relishing all that you

have gained from God in His allowing this trial to come upon you. Feel

honored that He felt you to be as able as Job. God uses all things for

the good for those that He loves, and He loves you. So just go with the

flow of God, and know that this is a test, one that you can and will

pass, and will be richly rewarded for. All my love to you and I am

praying for your faith and endurance to the end. <br><br>Kristie</span></div>
