WELCOME TO THE POWER OF GOD
MARRIAGE MINISTRY
The Power Of God Ministry
What We Believe
God is the foundation of every Marriage; it is between one man and one woman. Genesis 2:18 (NKJV) And the lord said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. The first marriage was between Adam and Eve when God took one rib from Adam and created a suitable helper and made a woman, which was Eve and became one flesh. Genesis 2:23-24 (NKJV) 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. Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh
Strength of Marriage According to God `s Plan
The strength of a Marriage according to Gods plan is unconditional love, submission to God, obedience to Gods word and forgiveness. Ephesians 5 : 21-22 (NKJV) Submitting to one another in the fear of God. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as unto the lord. 1 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV) But I would have you know, that the head of man is Christ, the head of the woman is the man and the head of Christ is God. Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. Ephesians 5:28 (NKJV) So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
Guard your marriage as you would guard your heart from the enemy within
It is a wonderful thing when two bible believing Christians find each other, fall in love and follow the bible principles. However, there are those who are in leadership positions in ministry who are racist, prejudiced, judgmental and biased. They judge you based on the color of your skin, social and economical background, ethnicity, culture and your social status in life. They no longer see you as God sees you but see you from the world’s perspective and will measure you by the world’s system. 1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. Ministry Leaders usually isolate one of the couples who’s getting married because of their personal preference for them. They will isolate either one and encourage them not to pursue marriage by planting seeds of doubt in an attempt to discourage, stop or terminate the relationship. This is all done in secret. They will drive a wedge between the couple by planting seeds of lies, separation, doubt and negativity before the marriage takes place. When and if the marriage occurs the foundation of negativity has already been established. Seeds that have been planted now take root and bear fruit of division and separation when any issues arise in the marriage. It’s amazing how church leaders can deliver a life changing, impactful sermon on Sunday and the next day uses the very same mouth to tear you down out of power and control. Proverbs 12: 8 (NKJV) There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health. Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. James 3:10 (NKJV) Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Psalm 52:2-4 (NKJV) Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
SafeGuard your Marriage as you SafeGuard your Heart
The enemy plot is always to steal, kill and destroy lives. John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come (God) that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. The biggest threat that marriages face currently are division, separation, anything that is divided within itself will not stand and anything separated from itself will not stand. Mark 3:24-25 (NKJV) And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. A house that is separated from its foundation will fall, when the spirit of God is absent from a marriage the foundation is pulled away. Mark 3: 27 (NKJV) No one can enter a strong mans house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house. Therefore, leaving the door open for the enemy to attack you often experience lies, deception, infidelity, lack of trust and respect for your marriage and God.
Council within the marriage
Many times, we seek counsel in our marriages which should help us however the majority of the time the advice either destroys the marriage or drives the wedge deeper between the couples. The outcome of the advice destroys the marriage because it is based on what the council has seen and not through the eyes of God. When the council is not Holy Spirit led the decision is harmful and it is given from mans perspective and not God. 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV) But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. Councils that destroy marriages are PHD holders, degree holders, and worldly guidance which include friends, families and associates that are not from the kingdom of God and that function from the world systems. James 3:17 (NKJV) But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Second type of Council that destroys marriages
The second type of counsel that destroys marriages are pastors, church leaders and church members who are not led by the spirit of God but are using personal knowledge to advise from human perspectives. They’re usually judgmental and not scripture led which overlooks the word of God. They can also be racist and biased which ultimately results in a negative impact. This council is manipulative, deceitful, and destructive, to each spouse which results in destruction of the marriage. Colossians 2:8 (NKJV) Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
Third type of council is deception of the heart within marriages
When couples are in denial with the issues that they face within the marriages and are no longer operating in love, the fruit of the spirit is no longer functioning and the heart becomes wicked and deceitful. Jeremiah 17:9 (NKJV) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? Matthew 15:18-20 (NKJV) But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.
Forgiveness and Healing
Husbands you ought to love your wife as Christ loved the church. Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:28 (NKJV) In this same way, So husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Cover your wife in all circumstances or situations. Don’t assassinate her character with family, friends, co-workers or anyone that will listen. Wives, you were created to be a suitable helpmate to your husband. Genesis 2:18 (NKJV). And the Lord God said, It is not good that man should be alone, I will make him a helper comparable to him. Nowhere in this verse does it say to gather an army against your husband and destroy his character. In all of this God has called us to forgive each other as we are bought with a price, the blood of Jesus Christ. Wives and husbands forgive each other of every sin, trespass, lies, hurt, pain, every unspoken negative words, or ill spoken words and deception that was committed. Mathew 18:21-22 (NKJV) Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I donot say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Forgiveness must be every hour, every second of every day.
Prayer and Forgiveness
A good way to get through forgiveness is to start by naming the offence and the offenders, then to continue with a prayer for example; Father in heaven as I come before you, I ask you to forgive the person for lying, hurting me, and doing me wrong. I release myself from all these negative curse words both known and unknown from my marriage, my pastor, my family and those who have offended me. I forgive them in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. I take full authority over every principality, powers of darkness, lies, deception, deceit that I have opened the door to knowingly and unknowingly. I release myself by the blood of Jesus Christ, I command these strongholds to be broken now in the mighty name of Jesus, by the authority of Jesus Christ by the power of God. I forgive myself and I forgive those who have harmed me knowingly and unknowingly. Father in heaven I ask you to open the understanding of my heart, my eyes, my mind that I can see these people through your eyes of love, forgiveness, that I can live in unity and peace with them in Jesus name I pray amen. Mark 11 verse 25 (NKJV) And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. We are a prayer and deliverance ministry according to the direction and leading of the Holy Spirit.
