The Beauty of Marriage—God’s Way

PRAYER TO THANK GOD! Pray this . . . Jesus, we thank YOU for YOUR creation and every aspect of it! Thank You for bringing people together for YOUR purposes! Thank YOU, Father, for bringing my parents together with myself as the fruit of that relationship. In the name of Jesus, amen.

SAINTS: If you want to have sex—that’s good—yet God says to get married and enjoy it in that context only! Read 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. The world of sinners says, “Get a room” (fornicate). God says for us to get married, and then and only then will we be able to enjoy His blessings with a clear conscience and glorify Him therein. (See 1 Corinthians 7:1-5; Colossians 3:1-7.) Eternal damnation awaits all fornicators and adulterers (Revelation 21:8).

Sex is of divine design and for 1 man and 1 woman in their own privacy. Without exception, every fornicator, adulterer is going to the lake of fire irrevocably (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Revelation 21:8, etc.).

ALL sex outside of the marriage between one man and one woman is fornication.

The LORD spells out in detail what He considers unlawful sexual relations. Put on your seatbelt. Read Leviticus 18. “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22) Any sex outside of a married MAN and his wife, a WOMAN, is fornication. Soul damning. It doesn’t matter what you think. Your opinion is less than zero in the eyes of a holy God. Repent now and follow Jesus or perish.

ALL sex outside of the marriage between one man and one woman is sin, fornication.

Homosexuality, sodomy, lesbianism, and sex before marriage are NOT under grace – Never have been, never will be. God doesn’t bless or justify what He calls an abomination (Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8). Repent now sinner – or you are going to hell for calling your Maker a liar!

The word “fornication” appears 36 times in the King James Bible while the new fake “bibles” use the words “sexual immorality.” The King James Bible, as usual, uses the correct word, “fornication”, and not “sexual immorality” as “sexual immorality” can be defined any way the individual chooses. False “Bibles” Exposed

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed (Gr. coitus, intercourse) undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. ~ Hebrews 13:4

True followers of Jesus are not being conformed to the ways of this sinful world, but rather to Christ:

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. ² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ~ Romans 12:1-2

In a world where Satan seeks to turn everyone against everyone else—including the daring idiocy of turning males and females against each other—we should be thankful today for the creativity of God in His creation. “So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he them” (Genesis 1:27).

Concerning the laws of evil men who attempt to redefine the family unit as originally designed by our Maker, William Pavichevich writes:

While those who pass these bills and legislations, their paper money is meaningless to God and even us, because so long as we have the truth in us, and stand for the truth, nothing these politicians can pass, will amount to anything in the long run.

We must allow God to define marriage by hearkening to the full counsel of His Word in this matter and never allow the fallen world to define anything in our minds. We are Christ’s—bought with the price of His very blood and set apart to glorify Him alone. (Read 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 5:17-18; 6:14-7:1.)

When a couple was asked how they managed to stay together for 65 years, the woman replied, “We were born in a time where if something was broke, you fixed it . . . not throw it away.”

Sex in and of itself is not a sin . . . when practiced and enjoyed within holy matrimony as God has designed. All sex outside of that marital bond between a man and a woman is sin. So, God says “Don’t lust, get married.” (See 1 Corinthians 7:1-5.)

God Has Called Us to Holiness

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. ² For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. ³ For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: ⁴ That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; ⁵ Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: ⁶ That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. ⁷ For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. ⁸ He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

One Flesh

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ~ Genesis 2:24

Jesus says the man/husband and woman/wife “shall be one flesh.” Last time I checked, God used a man and a woman—and the attraction He put between them—to bring them together, right?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. ~ Matthew 19:6

Jesus told us that only God himself can join a man and woman together in marriage—and that means that man (the State) has nothing to do with it, and can only witness this work of God, beginning at the wedding. Man seeks to insert himself into this holiest of all relationships on earth to poison it. Beware. A piece of paper (marriage certificate) does not marry anyone. Only God can do that!

For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? ⁶ Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. ~ Matthew 19:5-6

Genesis 24 Anyone?

Romance was undeniably created by the LORD. He made Eve for Adam, right? He inspired the book of Song of Solomon. It’s sin and the lust of people’s hearts that perverts this gift, and yet the gift is not a sin in and of itself. God expects men and women to be attracted to each other, and for His born-again men—to act toward His most beautiful creature, women, with holiness. God also has ordained and expects women to dress modestly so as not to unduly tempt men, because the woman’s femininity is for that one man whom God has ordained her to be with (1 Timothy 2:9; Luke 17:1-2).

And the LORD God said, It is NOT good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. ~ Genesis 2:18

God is Unchanging (Malachi 3:6; James 1:17)

God has ordained that a man and a woman be together as he has defined it. In light of this obvious truth, is it not interesting, and by no accident, that He speaks of “the washing of water by the Word” in the midst of the passage at the end of Ephesians 5 where He speaks of His Bride? Do we not have need of the truth—to wash our minds of all notions that are not pure—purely from His blessed, holy Word?

The LORD depicts His relationship to His people as Himself being the Bridegroom and His people being His bride, who are to dwell with Him in a sanctified manner “not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:25-33).

Two are Better than One (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

There are some flat out stupid mindsets among us like the so-called Puritans and other groups which do not exemplify divine holiness but rather put the performance of law upon themselves, so they can congratulate themselves and receive the honor in lieu of Christ. Flesh cannot bring about God’s holiness. Such is “the spirit of antichrist” which replaces Christ with the false, phony god of self. Only Christ can bring about “true holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-25).

Remember that Paul spoke of “true holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-25), which means that there is a false form of holiness that masquerades itself as righteous—when in the eyes of God, it is evil. False holiness is man-imposed “holiness” which is nonsense.

May God grant us “the spirit of holiness” and evict every trace of philosophy and all false notions of what holiness is, as He alone can define (Romans 1:4).

A man and his wife are to be set apart to the LORD as He has designed, not according to man’s version of “holiness”—which is sinful because it emphasizes the OUTSIDE of the cup—the appearance—and doesn’t deal with the sinful INSIDE of their cup —the heart— (Matthew 23:23-25).

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; ²⁶ That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, ²⁷ That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. ²⁹ For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: ³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. ³² This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. ³³ Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. ~ Ephesians 5:25-33

Romance, the attraction between male and female, is undeniably by divine design. Just because sinful, fallen mankind has perverted such a blessed gift does not make it okay for God’s people to shun it and to look at it as something mundane, dull, or evil. No, as God’s people, we should aggrandize marriage as a blessing from the LORD and demonstrate exactly how the LORD designed things to work—to bring Him glory. It’s the stewardship, the use of that attraction and gift, that the LORD looks at—beginning with our attitude, our perspective of it.

The attraction between male and female is not a sin—it’s the design of our Maker. The misuse of such an attraction (lust) is a sin. The context of marriage is where that attraction is to culminate and fully be expressed (1 Corinthians 6:12). Such glorifies God.

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. ~ Titus 1:15

Keeping one’s body “under” (the daily cross) is the key to experiencing all of Christ’s blessings both now and forever:

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. ~ 1 Corinthians 9:27

Elisabeth Elliot wrote:

Of all things difficult to rule, none were more so than my will and affections.

We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies to ourselves.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love him

Prayer: Heavenly Father, You alone created all that is. Your crowning creation is mankind. LORD You made Adam, breathed the breath of life into him, and then created Eve out of his side. Jesus, You gave me the desire to be joined together with one of the opposite sex. Please bring that person and me together, and meanwhile, set us apart in holiness for Your glory. Teach my heart that we are complete and content in Christ. Purify our hearts. Wash and cleanse and prepare us to glorify You alone in all we do. Thank You Father that in Your time, You make all things beautiful! In Jesus’ Name, amen.

The Roles of Men and Women are Intentionally Unique and Complimentary [podcast]

WE LIVE IN A ROLE CORRUPTED SOCIETY – YET WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE HOLY AND DIFFERENT If God is going to be glorified in a marriage, both parties MUST come to serve – in the specific God-ordained, stated roles of the husband and wife. Study them. Bow and worship the Almighty to whom we shall each and all give full account of our lives (Romans 14:10; Hebrews 9:27, etc.). Fresh repentance. God’s not going to judge the man for doing the role of the woman but rather for the role of the man. And God is not going […]

Your Prayer and Prep for a Godly Mate

IF a person is not learning the cross – learning to walk the crucified life – should you be entertaining marrying them? Attempting to put a relationship together that is not absolutely ordained of God – is a death trap that will take you places you don’t want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay. Years of derailment lie in such a trap and Satan is stalking and setting those traps to snare you (2 Corinthians 2:11; 1 Peter 5:8). The enemy has sunk many a ship, a […]

God's Word on Divorce with Pastor Tim Tyler [video]

1. THINK YOU HAVE MDR FIGURED OUT? 2. GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT MDR (MARRIAGE. DIVORCE. REMARRIAGE)? LISTEN to this. See video below. This truth absolutely infuriates what I called the Diabolical Divorce Dictators ….. complete devils who go around telling married people lies such as….. to leave their spouse and go back to their first spouse… something God specifically forbids (Deuteronomy 24:4). God calls this an “abomination.” Beware of these demonic operatives. “Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and […]

Attend to My Words [podcast]

IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.

The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

Gathering Fruit for Christ’s Eternal Glory [podcast]

IF you are truly born again, God has called you personally to participate in, to obey His Great Commission command— NOT to salvage any country in this fleeting world.

It’s amazing how many people claiming to be saved spend more time, energy, and money trying to save America than they do building up the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost. Anyone claiming to be saved and yet is not participating in the Great Commission command of Christ, is out of the will of God. Repentance needed.

Save America or See Jesus Save Eternal Souls?

“America is under God’s judgment for sure. And recently there was a golden statue made of Trump. And Pastors are praying over it. A golden calf. Same thing happened in the book of Exodus and God slew 3,000 men. This angers Him greatly! There will be a severe price to pay for this adultery! America is definitely going down at the divine judgment of God.” Karen Cochran

Forget saving America. Win souls. Preach the original Gospel to see eternal souls saved unto the LORD. See Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20.

A good thing to ask proud Americans who claim they are Christians:

1. “When’s the last time you led someone to Jesus?”

2. “How much time and how much energy do you spend trying in vain to “save America” or “Make America Great Again” compared to the time and energy you spend learning, studying, and meditating on God’s Word and doing it – as in the Great Commission?”

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and yet is not doing, is not obeying His Great Commission mandate, is not in the will of God.

Regrettably, America is going down in judgment.

No efforts can undo the present reality of those claiming to know Christ refusing to truly repent, nor the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered in cold blood and called it “choice.”

Honoring something God calls “an abomination” brings “the curse of the LORD” upon any nation to do such. See Leviticus 18:22 and Proverbs 3:33. Sodomy is sin!

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Doing the will of the Father is executing the Great Commission Jesus gave us!

2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER – if there is no repentance, change [podcast]

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38

Jesus says act now! To put off His work is to put off Christ. Read that again!

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

Many aren’t putting off their own sinful, lust-filled agenda in the world, right?

There is nothing new under the sun. See the book of Haggai.

Build the House [podcast]

WHAT House are You Helping to Build? Jesus says “I will build my church (people, not physical buildings or the church/religious organizations of men)” (Matthew 16:18-19). Jesus promised “I will build my church” and He’s doing it today through those few laborers He instructed us to pray that the Father would send forth (Matthew 16:18; 9:35-38). Are you participating? They are known by the relentless teaching of the “sound doctrine” of God’s pure Word and the refusal to build up anything but the name of Jesus and His beloved people. “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and […]

And there’s no talk about concern to right this wrong. There is clearly no repentance. Yes trump is a better choice and yet God is holy and just and judgment is coming. Jeremiah 18 “At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against […]

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee [podcast]

Here’s why Jesus came:

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

There is nothing – NO-THING – more important in your life than your relationship with Christ.

Job 22

“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.” Job 22:21-30

“lay up his words in thine heart” v22 – WITH the learning of each new verse of Holy Scripture, each new Bible truth, your knowledge and understanding of the LORD and His kingdom is expanded.

“Let thine heart retain my words.” Proverbs 4:4

“I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” Psalms 119:96-100

The Divine Attributes [podcast]

In their unrepentant, darkness-loving hearts, many today have created a false god in their own sinful image. Jesus told us that evil “men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:19-21) They choose to look only at the goodness, grace, mercy, and love of God while intentionally refusing to acknowledge that the LORD is “Holy, holy, holy” and that “The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth.” (Psalms 9:16-17; Romans 11:22; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8, etc.). Just as the Holy Spirit warned us, these same counterfeits have also “heaped to themselves”, or set […]

A Glorious High Throne [podcast]

Moved by the fear of the LORD, his allegiance and the affections of his heart will then begin to ascend to the “glorious high throne from the beginning” which “is the place of our sanctuary” (Jer. 17:12). “While we look not at the things which are seen, […]
