GOD Is BIGGER Than Your Circumstances!!
While you face this situation in your marriage, I want to encourage
you and to tell you that God is BIGGER than this situation in your
marriage.
My friends, the first thing you must realize is that adversity comes
to everyone at some point in life. No one is immune from the storms
of life. At the end of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7, Jesus
makes the analogy of the wise and foolish man. The wise man is the
one who built his house upon the rock of hearing and acting upon
God's Word. The foolish man built his house on the sand, only
hearing and not doing. But the interesting thing to me is that the
flood came to both houses.
Adversity comes to everyone's house, whether it's marriage, sickness
or finances, etc. So if you are going through a trial today, don't
add to it a feeling of guilt and condemnation that somehow God is
bringing you into judgment and that you are alienated from Him.
There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
Adversity sometimes makes God seem a long way off, but He will never
leave nor forsake you. Even when you have been faithless, He remains
faithful, because He cannot deny His own children. 1 Corinthians
10:13 says that there is no trial or temptation that can come upon
you that is not common to all.
The devil came to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came that you might
have life, and have it in abundance.
The next thing to realize is that problems have a limited life span.
Storms may come, but they do not last. Whatever the situation you
are facing today in your marriage, whatever mental or physical
anguish you are experiencing, be encouraged and know that IT WILL NOT
LAST. God is our Shepherd, and He restores our souls. Through His
power, this dead marriage will be resurrected. He binds up the
brokenhearted, and heals their wounds. He'll do the same for you,
too.
We must realize that God is able to cause tremendous positive results
to come out of problems, hopeless circumstances and tragedies. You
may be the one whose spouse has left to live with another; were
separated against your will; or your spouse lives at home and is now
threatening to leave. You may feel there is nothing left to live
for. There may be nothing left of your life except a stump. But God
can make new life emerge from a stump. Isaiah 11 tells how God made
the Righteous Branch spring up out of the stump of Jesse. Out of the
fallen house and lineage of David, God brought forth His Son to rule
and reign victoriously forever.
Out of the ashes of your life God can bring forth something wonderful.
The incredible pain and agony you feel today will give way to joy.
God's thoughts toward you are peace and not calamity, to give you a
future and a hope. What the devil meant for evil, God can turn
around and make good. He is the Master of deliverance. He excels at
bringing a breakthrough in lives.
Finally, you must realize that adversity can change you for the
better or for the worse. You must decide. You are the establishing
witness. You may not be able to change the conditions around you,
but you can choose your response to them. God puts before us today
life and death. Choose life. Decide today, "I will live and not
die, and declare the works of the Lord. I will recover. I will come
back. I will get a breakthrough. I will win. God made me to win.
I am a world overcomer through faith in the Son of God. I have
authority over the enemy. I will never be defeated. I will never
quit."
Rise up on your feet right where you are and make that your bold
confession today. Fight through the pain, the rejection, the hurt,
the feelings of hopelessness and depression, and choose to speak
words that will set in motion the healing and restoration of your
marriage.
You are not the first person that has ever faced this difficulty.
Many have come through it before, and you will too, because God is
faithful, and He will not allow you to be tested beyond what you are
able, but will present the way of escape. There is a way out. God
is not against you, sending you adversity. He is for you. If God be
for you, who can be against you!
I want to thank those who have been assisting this ministry financially in the quest to healing hurting marriages. Without your prayers and financial support, there is no way I would be able to encourage and minister to so many. I thank God daily for your obedience and faithfulness. And I pray that more of you will start showing your support.
