WHY "DID" YOU GET MARRIED? OR WANT TO?

[prophetess m. brignac]

IN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD, THE STATISTICS FOR BROKEN OR ABANDONED COVENANTS OF MARRIAGE ARE OF GREAT CONCERN, AND DEEP DISAPPOINTMEN TO THE LORD. I WRITE, NOT IN JUDGEMENT, BUT FROM EXPERIENCE ON SOME LEVEL. IT APPEARS THAT THE SAME MEASURE OF COMMITTMENT AND DETERMINATION TO "MAKE IT", THAT ONCE GOVERNED THE FAMILY STRUCTURE OF ONLY A COUPLE OF DECADES AGO, HAS DETRIORATED SERIOUSLY, AND PRACTICALLY DOES NOT EXIST. I CAN REMEMBER GROWING UP ( A "FEW" DECADES AGO), AND IT WAS THE FAMILY WITH THE"ABSENT" FATHER/HUSBAND THAT WAS THE EXCEPTION, BUT NOT SO TODAY. WE ARE WELL AWARE THAT CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATIONS ARISE, ESPECIALLY AS THIS WORLD AND IT'S SYSTEMS OF GOVERNMENT CONTINUE TO GROW FARTHER AND FARTHER AWAY FROM THE LORD, AND FAIL, BUT THERE'S ALSO, NOTHING "NEW" UNDER THE SUN, SO RELYING ON GOD, AND MAKING SURE THAT HE'S AT THE CENTER OF OUR UNIONS, COMBATTING THE ENEMY AS A UNITED FRONT, SHARING THE SAME DETERMINATION TO OVERCOME AND TRIUMPH, AND TO DENY THE ENEMY THE "TROPHY" OF YOUR MARRIAGE, SHOULD STILL BE ENOUGH TO COME OUT VCITORIOUS. THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY BEGINS WAY BEFORE THE WEDDING/MARRIAGE, AND IT IS INITIATED IN THE ACTUAL "SEASON OF "COURTING/MATING", AND DETERMINING THE SUITABILLITY, AND THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF GOD'S DIVINE PURPOSE, AND PERFECT ( NOT ACCEPTABLE) WILL FOR THE COUPLE. THINK BACK FOR A MOMENT, AND CONSIDER THE GUT-LEVEL, ABSOLUTELY TRUE REASON THAT YOU WERE DRAWN TO, CHOSE, AND "TIED THE KNOT" WITH YOUR SPOUSE ("ALL" OF THEM, SINCE MOST OF US HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE AND A SPARE OR TWO). THE TYPICAL PERSON IS FIRST DRAWN TO THE ATTRACTABILITY OF A PERSON, AND OTHER THINGS THAT STIR OR APPEAL TO THEM ON SOME CARNAL PLANE, EVEN "PRAYING", "TONGUE-TALKING", "FOOT STOMPING" SAINTS, BE THEY "PARISHIONERS", DEACONS, OR "BISHOPS", AND THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY WRONG, BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO, OR SHOULD HAVE TO WAKE UP LOOKING AT "FREDDY KRUEGER" OR "CRUELLA DEVILLE" EVERY MORNING, UNLESS THEY WANT TO. THE PROBLEM WITH CHOOSING "EYE CANDY" OVER GODLY CHARACTER, IS THAT THE "BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE" /GOOD LOOKING FOLK, FILL FAMILY COURTROOMS ALL OVER THE NATION, SEEKING DIVORCE, OR BEING DIVORCED, ALL DAY, EVERYDAY. THE STORY'S THE SAME FOR THE "FINEST", "MOST SUCCESSFUL", THE"MOST INTELLIGENT", THE "WEALTHIEST", "BEST COOKS",THE BEST HOMEMAKERS, BEST 'LAWN MOWERS", "BEST LOVERS" (THEY DON'T SHOW UP IN DIVORCE COURT AS QUICKLY AS THEIR 'COUNTERPARTS", BECAUSE THEIR "SKILLS" BUY THEM A FEW MORE STEAK DINNERS, AND A COUPLE OF MORE YEARS OF DELUXE BACK RUBS), BUT EVENTUALLY, "THAT'S" NOT ENOUGH EITHER, AND EVEN THE BEST "DADS OR MOMS" FIND THEMSELVES IN THE SAME POSITION OF REJECTION, ABANDONMENT, ABUSE, AND BETRAYAL, AS THE MOST VILE, RUTHLESS, AND DESPICABLE INDIVIDUALS.. EVIDENTLY, THESE ARE ONLY MINOR "INGREDIENTS" THAT DON'T GO VERY FAR IN SECURING THE SUCCESS AND LONGEVITY OF A UNION. THE ORIGNAL PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE WAS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF WHAT GOD HAD CREATED, AND THAT EVOLVED INTO THE ADVANCING OF HIS KINGDOM. THE LORD PREDESTINES COUPLES WHO, EACH HAVE KINGDOM PURPOSE, AND COMPLEMENT AND ENHANCE THEIR KINGDOM ASSIGNMENTS AND EACH OTHER'S LIVES, AND BRINGS THEM TOGETHER IN MARRIAGE, BECAUSE THEIR COMMITTMENTS ARE TO HIM, AND THEIR "CHARGE", AND TO EACH OTHER, WITH BOTH UNDERSTANDING AND EMBRACING GOD'S PRIOROTIES, WITH BOTH SHARING THE SAME PASSION, FAITHFULNESS AND LEVEL OF DETERMINATION TO "TAKE IT BY FORCE", IF NECESSARY, AND WITH BOTH OF A MIND TO FINISH THEIR COURSES WITH JOY,TOGETHER!. THEY BOTH ARE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE ENEMY AND HAVE THE WISDOM AND MATURITY TO NOT ASSAULT, INSULT, AND WOUND EACH OTHER, BECAUSE, THEY KNOW THAT THEY WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES. THEY WILL BOTH SHARE THE DISCIPLINE TO FAST AND PROSTRATE THEMSELVES IN PRAYER, WHEN THE ENEMY IS RAGING, TO COVER EACH OTHER IN PRAYER, TO INTERCEDE BOTH TOGETHER, AND "FOR" ONE ANOTHER, AND TO DISCERN AND SEEK GODLY COUNSEL WHEN NEEDED. THESE ARE THE MARRIAGES THAT ARE SURVIVING AND SETTING THE STANDARD, WHO CONSIDER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE FLESH, AND THE LUST, AND MATERIALISM OF THIS WORLD SECONDARY. THESE ARE THE ONES WHO APPRECIATE AND ENJOY THE PASSION OF INTIMACY, BUT HAVE CONSTRAINT, SO AS TO NOT YIELD TO TEMPTATION, AND THEIR PASSION FOR SERVING AND WORSHIPPING GOD IS EQUAL, IF NOT GREATER. THERE IS NO UNDERSTANDABLE REASON THAT TWO SUCH, "SANCTIFIED", "FIRE BAPTIZED" PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TRIUMPH OVER THE ENEMY, AND "BRING HOME THE GOLD", A MARRIAGE PRESERVED, THROUGH THE FIRE, IN THE FIRE, AND OUT OF THE FIRE, TO PRESENT BEFORE THE LORD, WITH JOY,AT THE DAY OF RECKONING.
