GOD ALWAYS COMES FIRST

Exodus 20: 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.



God Himself has now promised to meet all of our needs if we serve Him, not our wants, lusts, desires, wishes.
.
God himself now looks after the good wife, and all of her needs still too but  the husband needs to love her.
 .
 Those whom I love I also do chasten and rebuke. For  if a wife does evil and not rather good do expect her to reap her consequences.. .1 Cor  7:25    Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.  . 

IT  STILL IS MAINLY THE SELF CENTERED GOD IGNORANT PERSONS WHO SAY THE FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THEIR WORLD.. NOT IN MINE as JESUS CHRIST ALWAYS COMES FIRST..     YOU ARE ALWAYS TO PUT GOD FIRST EVEN ABOVE YOUR FAMILY.. GOD EVEN TESTED ABRAHAM IN THIS AND ASKED HIM TO SACRIFICE HIS SON.   
Genesis 22
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
 1 Corinthians 16:22  If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema  (Anathema means "cursed," )OR "Anathema maranatha" - accursed when the Lord comes in judgment.(*The word "Anathema" signifies anything devoted to death; and "Maranatha" signifies the Lord comes to judgment.)
.
SINCE HE IS GOING TO HELL ANYWAY . EVEN IF THEY ARE IN OR OF MY EARTHLY  FAMILY..
.
The end of lukewarm Laodicea truly will be anathema maranatha, for, as the Lord says, "I will spew thee out of my mouth" (Rev. 3:16).
.
The apostle later wrote a second letter to the Corinthians on this most serious topic with an admonition to avoid falling into the trap of religion, which we all do well to heed: "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves." (2 Cor. 13:5)

“ Remember that the only basis for true morality, the only basis for divine orthodoxy, the only basis for “pure religion,” is love to the Lord Jesus Christ. Where this love does not exist, all is cold, sterile and worthless, all exposed to death and judgment by the “Anathema Maranatha” of the Holy Spirit. If the heart be really touched with the vital spark of love to Jesus, then every effort after pure morality, every struggle against our hateful lusts, passions and tempers, every opening of the hand of genuine benevolence, every sound and truthful principle, every act of devotion, every pious aspiration, every fervent breathing, every outgoing of the soul, is precious to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. All is fragrant with the perfume of that dear Name which is the theme of heaven's wonder, the center of heaven's joy, the object of heaven's worship.
.
Should we not “love the Lord Jesus Christ?” Should we not hold Him dearer to our heart than all beside? Should we not be ready to surrender all for Him? Should not our bosoms swell with emotions of sincere attachment to His Person in heaven and His cause on earth? How could we trace Him from the bosom of the Father to the manger of Bethlehem, from the manger of Bethlehem to the cross of Calvary, and from the cross of Calvary to the throne of the majesty in the heavens — how could we “consider” Him as “the Apostle and High Priest of our profession” — and not have our whole moral being brought under the mighty constraining influence of His love?“
.
Matthew 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
.
Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life
.
1 Corinthians 1623 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
.
Have you ever been betrayed by a close one, a loved ones, Jesus Christ knows what that is like, Jesus was betrayed by Judas.
.
John 13:18    I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me
.
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
.
Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Matthew 10: 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
.
Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:  52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
 .

 Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
.
ECC 9:7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

 .
 Pr 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.31 Give her of the fruit of her h.ands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
 Jeremiah 3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted?
.
Most marriages tend to end up in divorce because of one spouses inability to forgive, laziness, unrealistic expectations, uncontrolled sexual lust amongst many other things.
.
The negative reality also now is that a divorce really does not change anything, it does not turn the clock backwards and merely let you start all over again as foolish, immature politicians, others, ostriches rather, would wrongfully let you to believe.

.
The most common criticism of Christian churches is that “a bunch of hypocrites go there”.  Of course such a condemnation is born from anger and God rejection.  A much more accurate criticism is “a bunch of deceived people go there”.  Most church attendees are so entrenched in their practice of ignoring and even worse,  flagrantly violating Jesus’ teachings on the sacredness of marriage, with their unbiblical violations that are taught from the pulpits of their churches, that they  do not recognize or understand the apostasy they have dedicated their lives to practice falsely divorce. . Yes they falsely  even multiple re-marriages, for the financial gain of the church. And why do most pastors allow divorce.. in reality they are still sex maniacs who want to keep the option of divorce.. Sad. The divorce rate among Christians exceeds that of non-Christians.  A life of marriage creates extreme dependency upon a human rather than upon God so that emotional desires are met which results in a strong craving and even a psychological need for another marriage after a divorce occurs.  False Re- marriages which also are strongly promoted in many churches, create a one-way death ticket to hell:  Mark 10:11-12 (New King James Version)  11 So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” Luke 14:25-27 (New King James Version) 25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, WIFE and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. We must love also now still Jesus so much that we will sacrifice our own lives, family  to serve Him and Him alone. God Himself has now promised to meet all of our needs if we serve Him, not our wants, lusts, desires, wishes.   
.

The Old Testament approved of only the husband right  to divorce a wife  that he was  displeased with.  Even though lately it is generally 70 percent of the women filling for divorce there still is no Biblical approval of such acts in the Old or New Testament.
.
In the New Testament there is no provision for married Christians to divorce at all generallywithout committing an act of adultery next..
.
 Temporary Marriage separation is permitted for married Christians .
.
A woman is bound to her husband AS LONG AS HE LIVES, but IF HER HUSBAND DIES, SHE IS FREE TO MARRY ANYONE SHE WISHES, but he must belong to the LORD— 1 Corinthians 7:39.
.

To the married I give this command (not I but the LORD): A wife MUST NOT SEPARATE from her husband, BUT IF SHE DOES, SHE MUST REMAIN UNMARRIED OR ELSE BE RECONCILED TO HER HUSBAND. And a husband MUST NOT DIVORCE his wife— 1 Corinthians 7:10-11.
Jesus said:  But I tell you that anyone who DIVORCES his wife, EXCEPT for marital unfaithfulness, CAUSES HER TO COMMIT ADULTERY, and anyone who marries A WOMAN SO DIVORCED commits adultery—Matthew 5:32.

BUT A MAN WHO COMMITS ADULTERY LACKS JUDGMENT; WHOEVER DOES SO DESTROYS HIMSELF— Proverbs 6:32.
This is what the LORD GOD said to Abimelech in a dream one night:
” You are AS GOOD AS DEAD because of the woman you have taken; she is a MARRIED woman.”— Genesis 20:3

.
A DIVORCE STILL TENDS NOT TO BE A NEW HAPPY START ALL OVER AGAIN EXPERIENCE IN FACT and with no negative personal consequences such as severe health problems and a big  financial losses now too.
.
Also in a divorce you tend to carry the old baggage and scars still with you on and into a new marriage .
.
The negative reality also now is that a divorce really does not change anything, it does not turn the clock backwards and merely let you start all over again as foolish, immature politicians, others, ostriches rather, would wrongfully let you to believe.  
.
The Bible tells husbands to love their wives (Ephesians 5:25) and wives to love their husbands (Titus 2:4). But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Matthew 5:44-45)
.
Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate. (Matthew 19:6) Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery. (Mark 10:11-12) If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. (1 Corinthians 7:12-13) 
Rejection Leads to Depression and Anxiety. “Rejection is one thing, but divorce is another. It is everything of rejection and still more. It is a cruel death to marriage. No funeral service is held. No friends gather to express their heartfelt sympathy. Divorce is one of the most humiliating things that can happen, as your life seems to be a complete failure and you believe that everyone else sees you this way, too. It seems that all eyes are looking at you condemning . Rejection and then divorce are such negative experiences and can become very depressive. A heavy spirit must be dealt with. We must allow God to take charge and completely take over in our lives or else we may be completely devastated. Don’t be surprised if you experience rejection even from someone in your family. “
Isaiah 53:3-4 says that Jesus was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and familiar with grief. He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows. Jesus had a real healing ministry when He lived among men. He wept. He prayed and showed His love to children, to the sick, to the widows, to the Marys and Marthas. Now, He’s right here to touch and heal our hurts also — physically, spiritually, and emotionally. We know He is touched by our hurts and rejection, because He too experienced this from His very own. He too suffered when He was tempted (Heb. 2:17-18). Through all this He is able to help those who are tempted. He will not give us more than we can bear and He will provide a way out so we can stand up under it (I Cor. 10:13).
.
There are hundreds of false “Christian” reasons for divorce. Divorce Is Never God’s Will for His Children. God goes on record in Malachi 2:14-16, as to what He thinks about divorce: “The Lord is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant. Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one. Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth. ‘I hate divorce, says the Lord God of Israel. And I hate a man’s covering himself with violence as well as with his garment,’ says the Lord Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit and do not break faith.”
.
Malachi 2:13-14. God says that in spite of tears, weeping and wailing, he “no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands”because of divorce.
 .
Jesus puts His finger on the cause of divorce when He says, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so” (Matthew 19:8, NKJV).
 .
Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
 .
Matthew 5:32 has a twofold warning: 1) Do not divorce without cause. 2) Do not pursue a relationship with someone who has abandoned their spouse. Unfortunately, many add, “If you’ve experienced divorce, you cannot remarry—period.” Not only does the text not say this, this statement actually condemns someone for the actions of another: Forbidding remarriage because of the wrong actions of the previous spouse is wrong? Being Divorced is not the unpardonable sin, rejecting Christ is.
 .
 Divorce is also still one of the worst possible way to try to get security and happiness.  Many people think divorce brings freedom. That is no more true than the serpent’s promises to Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1-5). Living according to God’s word provides true freedom—the freedom of a clean conscience, freedom from the tyranny and consequences of sin, and freedom to enjoy God’s love.
If you are married to an unbeliever, it is God’s desire for you to stay married (1 Corinthians 7:12-14, 16 and 1 Peter 3:1-6). However, if your unbelieving spouse leaves, you “are not bound.”
 .
To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances. (1 Corinthians 7:12-15)
.
Divorce Counsel from most Bible-believing pastors tends to be absurd, unbiblical. Your marriage relationship may have ended but your life has not!
.
In John 4, Jesus gave the woman of Samaria a new life, and we remember that she had been married five times and was living with a man she was not married to. Yet Jesus did not find that reason to withhold living water from her. He gave her water that was not in the well, and He gave her hope for building a new future.
 .
There are no guarantees that God would someday restore your marriage. Don’t fall for the lie that God helps only the picture-perfect family; Scripture reminds us that Jesus lifts up those who are broken, rejected, downhearted and desperate. He will make the tragedy of your divorce one of those “all things [that] work together for good” (see Romans 8:28) as you determine to love Him through it all.
 .
We can choose to go on carrying our heavy hurt, or we can make choices to move forward. Divorce is a death – the death of a marriage. Most experts agree that the grief surrounding divorce is much more complicated than the emotions following the death of a spouse. Friends and family can be insensitive or hurtful after a divorce.
 .
Forgiveness is another choice we need to make: forgiving ourselves as well as forgiving those who hurt us. Realize that rejection is more about the other person’s inability to love than it is about your worthiness for love.
 .
Ask God to show you how you can rely on Him to help you thrive after other people have rejected you. Keep in mind when dealing with the uncertainty of human relationships that you can always count on God’s constant presence with you and steadfast love for you. Ask God to help you learn whatever He wants you to learn from your breakup or divorce, and to help you overcome any struggles with insecurity or jealousy. I wondered how I could now serve the Lord and new doors opened
 .
Psalms 88:
1 O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
3 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
5 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
 .
Revelation 21: 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
.
 Falsely hoping to get rich by a divorce even now trying to blame the  spouse for all or most of the marital problems is ludicrous still too. There are still even negative emotional traumas, experiences associated with almost all divorces since you still tend to in real life to reap what you have sown, the personal lies and your acts of thefts included now.
.
You do still have to live with the negative consequences of the divorce and your own major unacceptable personal negative contributions to the divorce and that is also the reasons so many people tend to have more than one divorce next too.
.
In a sadly too common, unacceptable divorce scenario, one of the spouse pictures themselves as the innocent party and the other side is painted as a big bad villain. The husband tends to be the bad guy mostly these days?
.
Now if one spouses lies to the other spouse, steals from the other spouse, or  is lazy, unrealistic that marriage will end and they  can blame the other spouse all you want for the failed marriage but they  themselves have made a major contribution by their own bad acts, and Christian or non Christian now as well.
.
Secondly  a wife tends not to file for divorce unless she already has hopes of potential future gains, a present cash reserve, the support of her own family for the divorce, and a pre picked potential future sex partner.  Divorce also clearly is still  not a valid teaching, doctrine of   the Christian church. When you file for divorce it is very likely cause you are a sex maniac or a control freak.. If you are a Control freak you are not only still an unrealistic, immature, immoral person but you may have a serious mental condition …
.
It is also amazing how so many innocent spouses filling for divorce can in the courts too see the other spouses supposed sins while they are doing the same thing firstly too.
.
Divorce is also still one of the worst possible way to try to get security and happiness.
.
LETS NOT PRETEND TO BE DUMB AND DENY THAT MANY OF THE DIVORCING SPOUSES EVEN PROFESSING CHRISTIAN ONES AND THEIR LAWYERS, SUPPORTERS THEY DO FIRSTLY LIE EVEN IN WRITING  TO THE COURTS TOO.. THEY DO COMMIT PERJURY TO THE COURTS IN DIVORCE DISPUTES, AND TOO OFTEN WASTE THE COURT’S TIME  AND TAX PAYER’S MONEY CAUSE BASICALY THEY ARE STILL  PROSTITUTES, THEY PROVIDE THEIR SERVICES   FOR THE MONEY. 
.
THESE STILL MOSTLY PERVESE PERSONS, liars, thieves who are next still expecting personally blessings, rewards, regards, honours like Haman in Esther 7:10  instead they are, will be  reaping the shame, exposures of their own bad doings.. and do see and the creditor has come
.
By the way too I did not rightfully expect that when I would get married that all the bad  in laws or rather outlaws would move in falsely too and try to boss ne around.
.
Mostly the wrong doings, the bad acts that others, even my own family members  have accused me of doing, was mainly, firstly inspired by their own self realization  of what they themselves were like and they falsely assumed now next that I  was like them.
.
Not surprising as it  is a known fact even that crooks often do  think that everyone else is a crook. The liars, slanderers do also  tend to think everyone else lies.. etc., It seems that too many of them still do falsely still do believe that preaching the Gospel to others, is an acceptable alternative to them  living it now, and they do falsely believe that God overlooks their own sins of the neglect, abuse of others, gossip, slander, cheating, lying, stealing, tax evasions..
