Show Notes:

In marriage, you become one with the person you enter the marriage covenant with. The two become one. It’s miraculous and supernatural.

 

God built you to have one partner in your lifetime; but we must begin with a right understanding of the gravity of blood covenant.

 

“Till death do you part,” is you promising on your own life that you will not leave this person. You are vowing before God and witnesses in a very spiritual way that you will never break it off with this person.

 

The spiritual intimacy of the marriage covenant is very sacred and holy, and it should be treated as such. Even though it is an institution belonging to God, today it is shunned, looked down upon, and perverted. This is a terrible assault on the Kingdom of God.

 

When a man and woman become joined to the Lord through covenant, and then they join together to become one flesh, you have a powerful union. This is blood covenant. It should be protected, and you should do everything it cost to keep that marriage sacred, holy, and healthy.

 

Every passage you look at with marriage is really directing you back to a true relationship and covenant with Jesus Christ.

 

When your marriage is failing, it’s an indication you have missed it with Jesus Christ. If you’re not one with Jesus Christ, you’re going to hold onto something that’s of value to you and you will have difficulty becoming one. That’s where the fighting starts. It won’t get fixed until somebody humbles themselves and draws near to God so God can draw near to them.

 

As we receive the love of God, we can give the love of God; and then our families will be filled with an Agape from God.
