Flirting With Danger...







This is worth reading....

I know of a friend who was and is having marital issues. It appears that instead of her sincerely seeking God's guidance she chose to seek her own. What a grave mistake!

So often when we are in pain our first instinct is to seek a remedy on our own, yet all through the word of God is says: Psalm 105:4...Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

Jeremiah 29:13...And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Her first mistake was to seek comfort in the arms of someone else. in doing so she assumed that he would be her hiding place, her comfort, the one who would take away her sorrows.

After the breakup with her husband and eventually the divorce, she married this guy.

Things were good at first, as most of the time it is. But, soon afterwards she began to see what type of man this guy really was and is.

She began to try and please him by doing whatever he asked. He would dictate to her what she should and should not wear. He sometimes got physical with her. He became intimidating.

In all of her trying to please him, she lost who she was in the process and it became very difficult to find herself again, and she is still searching.

Torn between a rock and a hard place she began to feel as though she was in prison, in despair, lonely, sometimes confused and lost as she did in her past marriage.

Remember the word of the Lord says : Proverbs 16:25..."There is a way which seemeth right to a man, but the end therefore are the ways of death". Sometime that could mean a physical death, or Spriritual death, or both simutaneously.

This can also lead to an emotional strain. Is this you? have you followed this same path, are you in the same type of situation?

Know this, God is able to make lemon-aid out of the most sour of lemons. in other words God can turn a sour, degrading, seemingly worthless relationship into a budding Rose.

But you must seek Him with your whole Heart. With every fiber of your being, with a Yearning, Burning, Intensifying desire.


Luke 11:9 (Whole Chapter) And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Luke 11:10 (Whole Chapter) For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Now to the men....

God did not call us to be a dictator in our homes. Yes the man is head of the wife, but she is his help-mate not his property, slave or child.

We are to protect the wife, love her even as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it.

Would you really harm someone you love? Abuse someone you love?

Guys understand this, Mental abuse can be just as fatal as physical abuse!

Ephesians 5:28 (Whole Chapter) So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wifeloveth himself.

Ephesians 5:33 (Whole Chapter) Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Please let this register, with a clear understanding. Remember if you are a believer in Christ and so is your wife, then know that she is also you sister in Christ as well as your wife, and to the iwife, he is your brother in Christ as well as your husband...


Happy reading...
