THIS IS STRICTLY PERSONAL [YOU MUST AMEND YOUR MARRIAGE VOWS]
The day
you decided to follow Me, you knew it would cost you some friendships, and maybe
even your job, but you never thought it could cost your trusted friend, your
kids and even your spouse. Every salvation and every kingdom promotion is
strictly personal, and has a big price tag! A complete separation process, is of
fundamental importance, in order to create intimacy between My Father and his
human creation.
The relationship you have with Me must never be based on
a connection with another human. Let Me put it another way, "If anyone comes to
Me and does not hate his own father and mother in the sense of indifference to
or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God and
likewise his wife and children and brothers and sisters--yes and even his own
life also--he cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:26 (AMP)
My use of the word
hate, does not mean to literally hate but to put everyone in the back seat and
Me in the drivers seat of your life. The back seat position will not be accepted
by many in your life. Some will say, your no fun anymore, yet you will be having
more fun than ever. Every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will
not come out into the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his
activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved." John 3:20 (AMP) They will
detest the back seat because the longer I drive the brighter your life gets,
exposing their deeds in the back seat. Eventually, they will either come to the
light, or the back doors will open and they will bail out.
This is why
your commitment to Me is strictly personal. You must put Me ahead of everyone of
your friends and relatives including your spouse, because those that hate the
light, will cause you to break your commitment to Me, and quickly move into the
drivers seat, steering you back into the darkness. By putting Me in the drivers
seat "you become a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old previous
moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has
come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP)
The true born again experience places ALL
previous vows in a secondary position, including your marriage vows.
Your spouse must be willing to allow your new vow to Me, to take
precedence over your vow to them. Your marriage vow, to put to put her or him,
above all others, has now been amended, to say, "with the exception of the King
of Kings". A controlling wife will hate the back seat with a passion, and will
bail out if she she sees your commitment to Me is stronger than to her. This
will be the hardest test of your salvation experience.
When a husband
realizes his wife has put her submission to Me, ahead of his ungodly desires, he
will either submit to
Me or bail out. Sad to say, many salvations are not
personal, and they soon kick Me out of the drivers seat, because of the
tremendous strain of being torn apart. The pain of losing a relationship to
those who love darkness, is too much for them to bear. When they hear this
saying, they will join the rich the young man, and go away sorrowful: for he was
more committed to his great possessions." Matthew 19:22 (KJV)
"Many are
called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen," Matthew 22:14 (AMP) because
they are unwilling to go through the pain of this tearing process. Every kingdom
person must pass this test or they will not fit through the narrow gate. The
gate is only big enough for one at a time. If a spouse says, I am not going
through, the choice must be made, do you die the second death, with your spouse,
or live with Me, now and eternally. Those of you that have a willing spouse,
children and friends, should greatly rejoice that you were able to keep your
relationships.
There are times your salvation experience is not all,
happy clappy. "I do not always come to bring peace upon the earth; I do not
come to bring peace, when it comes to separating you from darkness, but a sword.
[35] For I have come to part asunder a man from his father, and a daughter from
her mother, and a newly married wife from her mother-in-law-- [36] And a man''s
foes will be they of his own household. [37] He who loves and takes more
pleasure in any relationship, more than in Me, is not worthy of Me; and he who
loves and takes more pleasure in son or daughter more than in Me is not worthy
of Me; [38] And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me cleave
steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in
dying also is not worthy of Me." Matthew 10:34-38 (AMP)
In all of this
tearing and pain, remember this kingdom rule, NEVER KICK ANYONE OUT THE BACK
DOOR let them bail if they wish, but the choice must be theirs. My love in you,
will be the only thing that haunts them, because there is no law against it.
Love may not change them but will never fail to haunt them! Let them go if they
insist, because you have made a new vow, and the gate is designed for one at a
time. Now, you that have made our love very personal, lift up your head and
rejoice, because "anyone and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters
or father or mother or children or lands for My name's sake will receive many
even a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life." Matthew 19:29
