COUPLES OF DESTINY III

For most of us to live is not Christ. That is why death is no gain to us because we do not know how to live in that environment of Christ’s nature, in our marriages and in our relationships. If we do not know how to love in Christ’s nature, we live in self-rule. We make the decisions that we marry because we want to be married. We pick who we want because we have developed our tastes, maybe blond hair and blue eyes. Some of us become so desperate that all we want is a body that satisfies our imagination. When we are desperate our natural drives motivate us and drive us to make the wrong decisions. The Church is no different from the world, in this regard. We only make it sound more spiritual. If it would be different, we would shake the nations with the reality of what they see in our families. The Jonathan relationship has to begin in our marriages. My husband is my armor bearer and protects my back, and I do the same; any other armor bearer is not more important. Anything less than that relationship is a sentimental idea of covenant that will not work. To be an armor bearer, we need to start in our own home and help our wife or husband to carry their burdens and discover who we are, so that God can do what He needs to do.

Every garden has borders. I can only come into your garden by invitation. If I over step your boundary, I violate you. The Church today has violated relationships because we have created coverings and domination set on spiritual principles and have violated the lives of people. We have not given people intimacy and privacy to develop into who they are. When we know the boundaries in our lives, we will not allow ministries to over step our boundaries and to interfere with whom we are with one another. The greatest trials in our lives came because we did not know how to function as a family and husband and wife and how to incorporate the different aspects that make marriage flow. When the ministry over steps the boundaries of the family, the children are often deprived of what God wants to do. To find the boundaries in our lives, we have to know where the boundaries are.

To come into the right environment, we have to make decisions. Many people in meetings will ask me to pray for them, but they have a life style of making wrong decisions. To come into that environment, I cannot be dominated by the tree of knowledge.
