WE DO NOT LIVE BY NEEDS ALONE

We have to have an understanding when we build a family. We are not completed when we are married; the unity comes in the joining and the completing in the Spirit, not in emotion because emotion has its limits. Total bonding has to come through the Spirit. Marriage comes to an end, but the bonding of the Spirit never comes to an end. It is something everlasting, and that is why God said that it is important to have friends and brothers, so that we are bonded together to understand more of what God is, what happiness is, and what the new Jerusalem is all about. It goes beyond the emotional bonding in marriage and natural family because that is just the shadow of natural reality. “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1)

There is never anything perfect upon this earth, only functional. The perfection comes when we move into the Spirit realm and when God can break through the limitations of our humanity so that we might have a greater understanding of what God wants.

Adam was not satisfied in being alone, and he was not satisfied in naming the animals. He was only satisfied as some one was fulfilled in his presence. God created for Adam a mate, not so that they can do things together, but that they can be together. Some of us think that to do things together is enough, but we will never heal a marriage by just doing things together, if we never find a place of being together. Some of us just use Jesus so that we can do things for Him. Doing anything for Christ does not complete us. We are only completed in Him, and it has nothing to do with the doing because it is not the motivation, but the expression. Yes, I will be the doer of the word, but the doer of the word is just my expression of the fulfillment in Him.

We cannot be kings if we are landowners with no people. We can own our wives and our kids, but in that kind of relationship we are not anointed to bring fellowship. We just use our family for our needs. We do not care for them. God wants us to come into a power and authority to be anointed, to bring unity.

When a man will leave his father and mother, he will refuse them or he will relinquish them, not because he hates them, but because he has to bring a living sacrifice, and we cannot build a family in the natural if we bring mom and dad along. We just build on the old foundation, emotionally and mentally. The mother will fulfill the needs of the son, but if the son turns into the husband, he has to fulfill the needs of his family. If we want to have our needs met, we have to leave mom. Your wife is not your mother. Your wife is your helpmate, some one united to become one flesh, to give a living sacrifice. That sacrifice is to break the emotional bond, so that you no longer have to be emotional fed, but you can bring forth a spiritual sacrifice to build a house and to build a foundation.

We lack the understanding in the natural because we are so taken up with our own needs that we cannot build our home. We cannot be joined and associated if we only build our house on our own needs, spiritually or physically. If we isolate ourselves, we have no power to move into the place we can rule because our needs consume us. When we come into each other’s presence all we see are needs. We all have needs, but our needs should not be what we give forth. Some of us feel self-pity. Self-pity is the biggest enemy of The Church. We feel so sorry for ourselves that we have no time to feel compassion for others.

Today God wants to anoint us so that we emanate the presence of God and not our own needs. A king is supposed to care for his people, to bring prosperity, welfare and power into the nation. Unity comes when we care for others, as we bring a power in their lives, and as people are joined together in the same purpose to serve the king who cares for us. That is why we serve the King of Kings, because He does not serve His own needs. He came to associate with me that I may be united through the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and that I might become a faithful subject. As we are anointed, we bring forth a new unity and power in our lives.

In His Love,
