Weekly Devotional –
9th. January 2023
SCRIPTURE:
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Psalm 16: 7-8, NIV.
Child of God, in this week’s devotional, I would love to write about the dynamics of different family units as it relates to marriage; Marrying from them, and being married into them!
First of all, few days ago I heard a phrase in the spirit realm, and it had to do with where people were having a conversation, and one of them said to the other(s): STAY AWAY FROM HIM BECAUSE OF THE PERSON HE HAS DECIDED TO MARRY!
Now, in the physical realm, I had to think about what this means, and from my experiences as it relates to this particular phrase which has to do with marriage, this is my conclusion:
Child of God, families are different. People are different. Places are different. Traditions and cultures are different, and spirits are also different. From my understanding, this phrase can either be good or bad, depending on whom the phrase is targeting and also on those, whom the phrase is coming from.
One, I neither know those whom the phrase was coming from, nor do I know the one whom the phrase was being spoken about, therefore, I have to delve into the experiences I have as it relates to such a phrase, and the topic in question. All I was able to deduce from this audible revelation was, that it has to do with a man, who has decided on the lady whom he wants to marry. Subsequently, someone is behind the scene, giving another person, or a group of people advice, which is, for them to stay away from him because of the lady whom he has decided to marry. This implies, that they do not want him to marry the lady, and from my point of view, the question should now be,
“Why do they not want him to marry her?
Are their reasons legitimate, or not?
Is the lady evil, or are those who oppose the marriage evil?“
Child of God, you must be able to answer these questions to your Godly safety and satisfaction, – WHY DO I WANT TO MARRY THIS PERSON?!
We have to give people the benefit of a doubt, especially, when the Holy spirit has not yet revealed to us, who is bad, and who is good.
Like I mentioned above, spirits are different. Thus, I have come to learn, though in a hard way, that as much as it is possible for you, it is extremely vital for every child of God to get to know, or access the place, family, community, and people, especially the person, whom they are getting into a marriage union with, in order to know what you are going to be dealing with, and that is as long as you know that your future spouse is very special, or close to them.
I will not stop to warn the sons and daughters of God about this reality, which is, that some men and women are devil’s incarnates, and if their families and communities are equally evil, then you child of God, are in for the worst ride of your life, as you are going to also have to deal with father in-law devil, mother in-law devil, siblings in-law devils, community in-law devils, etc. Therefore, the need to get to know the spiritual atmosphere of the places that you are getting married into as it relates to ladies, or that you are marrying from as it relates to men. The phrase, “all that glitters is not gold” is very accurate in my humble opinion. On the one hand, there are families that look very civilized, very wealthy, and put together outwardly, yet, spiritually and behind the scene, they are completely demonized! While on the other hand, there are families, that are very poor from our human observations, but their poverty as you would eventually find out, doesn’t just remain in the natural realm with regards to financial poverty! In contrary, it runs deep as it transcends into the spiritual as they are completely spiritually devoid of anything and everything godly – Spiritually impoverished; No God,and as a result of that, no light, no love, no mercy, and no desire whatsoever for freedom from darkness, etc.!
There are families, and communities that are anti-Christ, regardless of how they love to go to church and how many reverends, priests, pastors, and prophets they may have around them, or that are found amongst them, as all that, is nothing, but a physical show of religion, in order to deceive the world and distract them from the truth about who they truly are in the spirit. Consequently, the moment any child of God is about to come into their family or space, they already see their light, and shining stars, thus, they begin ahead of time, ever before they even set their eyes on their victim, to strategize on how to stop them from coming into their family, and community. Nonetheless, in a case, where such children of God still come in, such people will keep devising different ways on how to make sure, that they don’t stay. Thus, they will throw every form of kitchen sink at her, both spiritually and physically, in order to frustrate her from every angle, hoping that one would stick. Such an atmosphere is not conducive for a child of God to survive in, and if such a child of God, is not backed up through prayers, by well meaning Christians, then, she will not survive such onslaught from the enemies’ camp for too long.
There are families who are morally, as well as spiritually okay, and who for genuine reasons do not want their sons to marry any lady who they perceive and fully understand to be evil, whom he would bring into their family, and she would eventually end up polluting and destroying the existing godly covenant, like Jezebel did, who was an idol worshipper, a carrier of devils, and a believer in demons (This also applies to families who do not want their precious daughters to get married to men who are Jezebels). Let us not forget how she eventually turned the heart of Ahab and made him to become one of the worst kings Israel had. Think about king Solomon, who also did the same thing; Married from places where he was prohibited by God from marrying, as well as marrying the kind of women who he, as a child of God should never have been found messing around with in the first place, and how at the end of the day, the same women, turned his head up-side down, and made him to follow them to worship their idols, although he was raised better than that.
I myself have been found wanting, for telling certain people, and also agreeing with certain people, to stay away from someone close to me because of the lady he married, but that only happened after I realized that the lady in question was indeed a very wicked person, who was ungodly competitive, and so much more. It got so bad, that the alarm in me went off big time, which made me to even stay away, and this happened when the Holy Spirit began to reveal to me, the evil, that she was spiritually into, and how she was unrepentant in her evil activities, and was out to completely destroy people, but manipulating her husband to do exactly what she wants, as well as making him never to see the evil, that she does behind the scene – Without being detected. Therefore, I do fully understand the fear of such Godly families as it relates to their sons introducing an evil woman to them, as the one, whom he has finally decided to marry.
Now, it is important for us all to understand that evil can find its lodging anywhere, and amongst any group of people, regardless of their wealth, and social status. Those in the industrialized nations, who are in the occult are mostly rich people, and yet, they are in it, practicing dark arts, and regardless of the name they have decided to give it, in order to make it sound interesting, appealing and welcoming to those who love to run after trends, they are nothing more, or better than the village witches or warlocks in the thick bush, or thickets of south America, Asia, or Africa. In the sight of God Almighty, what they do wherever they are is the same: They serve Satan!
Daughter of God, when the friends, or family of whomever you are about to get married to, begin to stay away from him because of you, it should make you become a bit worried, as well as push you, to do a last minute check on yourself, your family, your future spouse, his family, and friends, to find out why they no longer find him good enough to be around, the moment he has finally decided to marry you. These are the things you should be checking for:
- Is there anything wrong with me in terms of behavior; Is my behavior completely bad, and do I have to change my ways?
- Is there anything wrong with my spirit, do I need spiritual cleansing?
- Is there anything wrong with my family, or community, that I do not know about, or that I have to work on? If what I have found out about them is evil, and peradventure they are not willing to change from their evil ways, do I need to distance myself from them for a time and season?
- Is the behavior, or the spirit of the man I am planning to get married to, really good enough for me to consider walking down the isle with him?
- Since I know that I am a very loving and godly person, and that he is a good person too, could there be something off, with those friends, family, or community of his, who no longer consider him good enough to be around because he had decided to marry me?
- Who are their spirits? Does my light irritate them? Could it be that they are afraid, that my spirit would pull him away from amongst them, and separate him from them, where he had always been, but bound and imprisoned in darkness like them?
These, and some more are things, that we have to consider the moment we hear, or notice such behavior concerning those who are not willing to allow their sons, daughters, relatives, or even friends to be married to us or to marry us.
If you truly find out, that it has to do with them and not you, then, regardless of how much you love him or her, it would be very wise of you, if you would count your costs ahead of time, meaning, before you say: Yes, I do, and it should include the following:
- Has God assigned you to such a battle field; To be married, or to marry such a person?
- Do I have what it takes for the battle ahead? As these evil spirits in such human beings will fight you, and sometimes, till they all drop dead! Hence, if you are dealing with such wicked spirits, who do not give up and especially if they are a multitude, do you have the tenacity, patience, and love for God Almighty to endure the battle till the very end?
- If your spouse eventually goes back to join them as they, in some cases, may not have what it takes to stand their ground against such persistent and wicked forces, would you join them too, or are you going to stand your ground, in and for God Almighty, regardless of what it may cost you?
The worst place to get married into, is a place where the people, for no justifiable reason, no Godly reason whatsoever, see you as a threat and their demise, even before you step a foot in there. It will be very difficult, regardless of how good and Godly a person you are, as they have already made up their minds about you. The problem they have with you could range from you, smiling too much with your future spouse, to both of you, locking eyes a bit longer than two seconds, right before them, which is a taboo for a woman to do in such a place. Child of God, regardless of the part of the world you live in, such little things alone, has disqualified you in the eyes of the evil traditionalists. Child of God, it could even be because you are too jovial, and always laughing out loud from your heart, in a place, or community, where the reason to laugh has long been drained out of everyone, then, for that, you have just signed your condemnation!
It could just be for the fact that they still see a bit of life in you, where they themselves are long dead, therefore, it should not be surprising to you that they will not take it lightly with you for still being alive.
Consequently, you have to decide if you still want to live, or if you want to be dead like them. The choice is yours to make…
In conclusion, as long as the Holy Spirit has given you the go ahead to marry her, or for you daughter of God, to get married to him. As long as you consulted the LORD God, and fully invited Him into it before you get married. As long as you love your mate from your heart and you are fully convinced beyond any shadow of a doubt, that they love you too, and would never intentionally put you in harm’s way, or without any Godly reason, separate you from your Godly family, then, even if their friends, communities, and families are still in darkness, but your future spouse is out from amongst them; Darkness, then, go ahead and get married as God Almighty will protect you both, and in some cases, will use both of you to deliver those of them, who will be delivered. But where the LORD God has not given you the go ahead to marry her, or get married to him, and where you realize that your family, community, and friends are Godly, and that their reasons for staying away from you because of the person you have decided to marry, or get married to are very accurate, then, zap as fast and as far as your legs can carry you, and in such a case Child of God, may it carry you very far and very fast, away from such a person, people, place and thing in Jesus’ most powerful name, amen.
Child of God, be happy and stay blessed
Jesus loves you!
