Conform—to take the form
of; to adapt. What is marriage according
to the world? It is something legal. It is a man and a woman as a couple. What is marriage according to the world? It
is two individuals in a legal contract.
We are not to adopt this mindset.
Marriage is not to lose its spiritual significance and conform to the
legalities of this world. Be not conformed to this world but be transformed...
Transformed—to be
changed in form. Have you not
read…….? Have you not read that they are
no longer two but one flesh? They have
been transformed and this transformation was executed by Elohim, God. They
are no longer a couple but an
individual. And Adam said- “This is now
bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she
was taken out of man” - Genesis 2:23.
We got married but most
of us did not change the way we think.
We continued to see ourselves as individuals yet married. This mindset is pleasing to Satan but
totally unpleasant unto Elohim, God. What is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God? And there shall no longer be two, but one
flesh, one body, one soul—unity. What is
the device or weapon that Satan uses? Individualism in marriage. I do me first, because once I get myself
straight then I can care for my spouse.
Oh! This sounds so good, so pleasing, so self gratifying and satisfying
to your flesh and your mind, but it is not Elohim God’s good and perfect and
acceptable will.
When you and I begin to
think like this we have been
deceived. Our minds have not been
renewed and our marriages are experiencing deterioration because we still live
our lives as being separate from our spouses.
This is brokenness in our marriage covenants because there is no
separation in marriage, save and except for the purpose of healing, and for
reconciliation as stated in 1 Corinthians 7:10, 11 - “Now to the married I
command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her
husband. But if she does depart, let
her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And the husband is not to divorce his
wife.”
