G0DLY CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE

God ordained Biblical marriages on HIS terms and conditions to replenish earth. God is at the heart of Christian marriage for devotion and trust in Christ. God created marriage relationship companionship, intimacy affirmed by God. Finding a spouse to fulfill a lifelong commitment of the Bible is a specific command. To help build stronger foundation its important both are born again Christians. Making the right decision to please God isn’t a romantic involvement first, before seeking the LORD’S face. Gospel says single be faithful Christians obeying commandments. Marriage needs the Holy Spirit’s guidance to discern the Spirit of God. The Bible says it is sin if a believer marries non-believer hoping to save him. Salvation is a free gift of God in Christ to all nations. If a believer witnessed to a person and later marry its approved by God. Marriage is in God’s image and likeness to produce Godly fruit for dominion in Bible in Genesis 1:26-28. God partners with all HIS creation who acknowledge God’s rule on the earth. God wants an exclusive total devotion and worship from believers not sharing HIM with idol pagan gods. Married couples please the LORD God Almighty not men. The choice of Christian marriage is for their partnership with God in Genesis 2:15-17 Adam was priest prophet/king in Garden Eden God’s Kingdom ruled over God’s riches, resources provided. Eve to bring GLORY to God helps replenished earth. God said it is not good for the man to be alone gave him helpmeet woman Eve in marriage. Christian marriages in Gospel is Christ centred He is head, Bridegroom to His Bride the Church of God in Christ. The head of Christ is God and head of a wife is her spouse. Almighty God is the source of Biblical marriages in Genesis 3:16. Spouses submits to God’s perfect will in Christ in the home at the centre is God’s laws and values. Married believers in the LORD God Almighty direct their lives through prayers, fasting, to seek God’s face, help. In Genesis 24 Abraham chose for Isaac Rebekah a believer in God in Genesis 27:46-28:9. Faith central in training children right and early according to God’s laws. In Genesis 34:8-9, Hamor invited sons of Jacob to intermarry with the daughters of Shechem after mistreating Dinah defiled. So they compromised God’s laws, endangering lives as second generation. In conquests of Canaan the LORD prohibited intermarriages: Don’t intermarry give your daughters to their sons, their daughters to your sons they will turn your children from following God to serve other gods. The LORD’S anger burns and destroys in Deuteronomy 7:3-4; Joshua 23:12. Kings like Solomon in 1 Kings 11, Ahab in 1 Kings 16-19 fell so compromised nation’s faith due to pagan wives. God told all priests, people to repent of intermarriages in Ezra 9-10. Foreign converts stay married: Zipporah, Rahab, Ruth. Jesus said unbeliever spouse is under God’s grace if converted is saved by a good conduct, example of respect, honour. In Proverbs 31:30 the virtuous woman supports husband is industrious, takes care of family.
Ruth married Boaz a believer who provided and protected her. She trusted God respected mother in law a Godly woman. Ruth married after husband died, free to marry Boaz, man who believed in the LORD. In 1 Corinthians 7:39, God said don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Righteousness and wickedness or light fellowship not mix with darkness in 2 Corinthians 6:14. A true Church keeps from fellowship with pagans Gospel warns against unbeliever spouse in 2 Corinthians 6:14. In 1 Corinthians 9:5 spouse of apostles and Jesus’ brothers or Cephas if unbelieving wife won’t qualify to be in ministry or elders in Church. Prohibiting intermarriages with unbelievers is saved by the love of Christ for His Church. People living in peace respect the differences so honour God Almighty Yahweh. Ephesians 5:21-33; Revelation 21:9-27 of God the Father, and Son in 1 Corinthians 11:3 is on the Godly submission and obedience. Marriage to non-believer of different faiths can’t force spouse to impose religion on them. Not to control a spouse to live in harmony or result in onflict. A different mindset and interest resolved by mutual respect glorifies God. Marriage is not designed for Christians only but the purpose for believers is to live in Christ. Jesus in John 17 gives eternal life to know only true God in Christ. Believers living for God love, honour, worship God in His Son Jesus Christ name. In living with spouse Church support followers of Christ to grow in eternal life. The LORD is owner of all lives and nations demands an exclusive attention and focus. Godly spouses don’t share wives, God Almighty Yahweh will not share His GLORY with idol pagan gods. It is only name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth that saves mankind in heaven after sins forgiven.

GOD RUINS GIDEON’S IDOLS

God ruined Gideon’s idol shrine took two cows sacrificed to Yahweh Almighty God on new altar. Gideon stopped idol worship to serve the living God. Gideon’s family’s served idols gods that did not talk, walk, had eyes can’t see, ears can’t hear. God said those who serve idols are like them in Isaiah 44-17-20; Jeremiah 10:14. Idols humans make from silver, gold, wood, stones so Gideon told to make new altar to sacrifice sacred cow to Jehovah. God saw things got worse for Gideon’s community. They worked hard in fields, planted crops in right season harvest nothing the fruits of their hard work take by enemy deprived them from enjoying reward. Each year’s harvest taken by enemies idols didn’t save them. Gideon was broken hearted spent time crying, grieving over loss in empty barn. God Almighty saw Gideon’s grief, lacked wisdom, understanding as Yahweh God Creator gives increase in harvest. God took pity on Gideon sent angel to help plan, prepare to fight to defeat enemies who rob them. God told Gideon to obey to do HIS Command and get rid of his family’s idol shrine first. To focus ONLY on worshipping God instructed Gideon to ruin to destroy and pull down idol shrine at night. God told Gideon to sacrifice two cows for idol gods to GOD ALMIGHTY. Gideon knew the reaction of family members chose a few trusted servants to destroy shrine grove at night. Gideon built a New Altar to God replaced idol altar. Gideon obeyed God and sacrificed his family’s idol sacred cow to the Living God made new Covenant. God was pleased and helped Gideon to defeat enemies who harass them. Gideon’s family at first angry at Gideon’s new faith in Living God wanted to kill him for secretly destroying idol shrine grove. But God is Creator owner of cattle told Gideon to do sacrifice of cow to HIM not worship cow as idol god creature God made makes God very angry.

Gideon told his family POWERFUL Jehovah Nissi needs nobody to defend him. Don’t kill for shrine destroyed to get rid of false idol gods to accept Living God let idol god defend itself if real. And so instead of killing Gideon they worship God for sending help to deliver them. Their idol was not offended replaced by genuine TRUE ALMIGHTY GOD. Gideon proved they served dead false god that didn’t defend or save them they all moved to the Kingdom of Living God saved. Gideon was delivered by God from enemies. Changed from evil way to worship and serve ONLY True Living God. So God translated Gideon from kingdom of darkness into Glorious Kingdom of the Glorious Light of Jesus Christ with his whole family and nation. They travelled annually into Jerusalem to pray in God’s House of prayer for all nations. So who the Son Jesus sets free is FREE indeed and Gideon’s family was saved. God defends Gideon giving him victory to surprise his enemies. Many people blindly follow family traditional ancestral covenant dedicated to idol shrines. A family idol gods named after river gods or fertility god don’t realise they sold their souls to devil. ALMIGHTY GOD IS JEALOUS GOD will not share HIS GLORY  with anyone. The Living God warns idol gods are devil demon spirit not God’s messengers. Speak to God yourself in Christ Jesus Name you don’t need idols gods to help your family. God said as idols have eyes do not see, have ears don’t hear, have mouths don’t speak or eat, legs don’t walk don’t help you. Idol demons take over the family stop serving them before God destroys family in hellfire. God said some worship the creature not Creator in Romans 1. God said, all who worship idol gods are spiritually blind, dumb or lame like them. In Hebrews 9:13-10:6 blood of bulls, goats and ashes of heifer sprinkled on people sanctify purify for short time repeated don’t save like the Priceless Blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the ULTIMATE sacrifice offered Himself without spot to God on Cross of Calvary to save you. He purges conscience from all dead works to serve living God Jehovah in Jesus Name.

Jesus mediator died to redeem transgressions in Gospel fulfilled word of God. Moses used law took blood of calves, goats, water, scarlet wool, hyssop, sprinkled on Holy Book and people. The blood of animal is past testament God sprinkled on tabernacle and vessels purged by. Without a shedding of blood no remission of sin. 23 Was a necessary pattern of things is purified by better sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus is Ultimate Sacrifice to redeem believers with His Precious Blood Jesus writes our names in Book of Life. Christ entered the Holy of Holiest Place is now in heaven in the presence of God pleading for us. Jesus offered Himself as High Priest in Holy Place replaced a need for a yearly blood sacrifice of animal ritual.
Since foundation of the world in garden of Eden God did sacrifice but as Jesus Christ appeared put away sins in Sacrifice of Jesus. A Christian doesn’t need animal or human sacrifice. And its appointed to men once to die after is judgement of God. Christ offered His Life to bear sins of all people in all nations. Jesus will appear in clouds in Rapture to save believers from wrath of God soon.  In Hebrews 10:1-5 the law showed good things came in Jesus Christ Gospel’s Timeless Perfect Sacrifice. Do not offer animal or human sacrifices if God worshipper. You are purged by Sacrifice of Jesus Christ no other sacrifice God accepts. Repent of sins ask God’s forgiveness in Jesus Name. The blood of bulls or goats CAN’T take away sin. Jesus came Sacrificed His Life to save you paid the price for your sins. So Greater love has no man than Jesus Christ to Sacrifice His Life for you. You are free from sin the Son of God Jesus sets you FREE so FREE indeed by the Finished Work of Christ. Is not possible blood of bulls or goats will save you. Jesus Sacrifice for body of Christ saved from God’s punishment for sin. Burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin God has no pleasure. On mount Carmel Elijah told people to choose the True Living God or serve idols to perish. Idol worshippers make gods from God’s wood, gold, silver, clay, bronze, statue, sculpture, rocks call gods. God’s credit given to creatures doesn’t honour God the Creator. An idol worship fetish ritual occult control, manipulate people in fear. God isn’t pleased with idol worshipper who ignore HIM, sell family and nations into serfdom of idol shrine by marriage bondage, slavery from generation to generation suffere like Gideon.

Primitive fear makes people desperate to seek a fertility solution for childbirth, wealth or healing. People do anything to achieve material wealth don’t realise spiritual satanic bondage God cuts people off from God’s Presence forever by their sins. People must repent and seek face of God personally not to be lost forever in God’s eternal damnation if rejects Jesus Christ. The devil uses witchcraft to fool people to think evil actions are culture acceptable to God. But Gideon, Hezekiah and Manasseh destroyed idol groves shrines to build altar to the Living God. God says obey HIM, destroy family shrine altar to replace with God’s Altar. Gideon’s obedience to God brought victory for family and whole community. Pray to God to open your spiritual eyes, ears, minds and hearts to understand God’s Spirit of Truth. God’s truth you know will set you free in Jesus Name. God’s Divine Protection Cover of Jesus’ blood sets you free from idol spiritual bondage of shrine marks on your body. If you own objects tokens as point of contact from shrine burn it give to deliverance minister for Godly Counsel. Accept Jesus Christ be a faithful worshipper of God ONLY. Study and read your Bible to understand God’s will purpose and live a righteous life in Jesus Name. Choose God First above all God is Faithful HE will make a way for you in Jesus Name time is running out Jesus comes in Rapture to take you to heaven or left behind perish in Armageddon war. Belong to God IN CHRIST as your Lord and Master. You can’t serve two masters Worship God or worship idol will perish in hellfire destroyed yourself and family. Jesus came to destroy all works of the devil over your lives deliver from all destructions in Jesus Name. God wants people to LOVE HIM  and one another in Jesus Name walk in love live together in peace and unity covered by the blood of Jesus Christ alone. All who worship idol gods who reject Jesus Christ Messiah Saviour will be killed by God in hellfire on the judgement day. So repent and follow only Jesus Christ or ruined so tormented in hellfire. God and Jesus LOVES you submit to God accept Jesus yield to Christ your Master and be born again in Jesus Name. You are changed into a new creation in Christ Jesus.
