Paul's Great Mystery: Married to God, married to our spouse!

Beloved of the Lord,

Tuesday night we had our first gathering of our "Sons of God" men's gathering. These meetings are designed to take us take us deeper in the Kingdom of God understanding and reality and our true place and position Jesus has for us as "real Sons of God and Men of God."

There is the "2nd day religious system" understanding of what a Godly man is, and then there is the 3rd day Kingdom age understanding of being Sons of God and Godly men that will rule and reign with Jesus in the Millennial Kingdom.

To understand that, God focused in our relationship with our own Father's in light of who are Heavenly Father is. The Holy Spirit asked a series of question of us that was so provoking it broke the hearts of each man.

It caused to stop and reflect on God and our walk with Him. Each of us had to deal with the truth. We had to see if there were any past hurts with their own fathers we needed to forgive, let go of, and be healed,  to truly become the Sons of God that God desires us to be.

Then the Lord spoke to us about the difference between being a "religious man or son of God" and a " true disciple of the Lord or full grown son." The question came, "how many marriages do you know in the church family where they can tell as a testimony that God has made the husband and wife truly  one?

As Jesus us in the Father and the Father in him and did only the will of the Father, could they find one married couple that demonstrated that same life He lived as one with His Father?Could they identify in all the church, their own families when they saw the real fruit of "The two shall become one flesh?" 

The Lord asked each one if they could share one example of where this could be?  Could see it in their own families? Charisma Magazine sates, " Out of the 10 men there only one man could raise his hand and say, "I saw God make my mom and dad one."

In the present 2nd day church system structure, the Holy Spirit began to show us how a man and woman can live together married, have children, attend church, do ministry, even go to missions, and never truly become one flesh with their spouse. Is the mystery of Christ and His church revealed in your marriage? Is there a living example of a married couple that exemplified this message and Word of God.

Beloved's our first men's meeting was eye opening. I think the greatest revelation that came forth to the men who were married and the ones to get married was that God did not give their wife to them to meet "their needs. "The Lord had to teach them that they weren't getting a piece of junk or a leftover.

God gave them "his beautiful hand made daughter" to entrust into their hands to love, cherish, protect, provide for, and give up their life to help and serve. The Husband and wife must become everything God created them to be. Then the two become one flesh.

So many see the one God gives them to be as their spouse as their "soul mate." I hate that term because it is so worldy in origin. It came out of the 60's hippie movement.  Your soul is your thoughts and desires apart from God that dwells in you.

So you can choose the person you want as your spouse by your own ability by eating from the wrong tree in the garden. If you select what you want in our spouse. you say choose someone who is good but not sent to you by God. That is an awful situation to get of if you make that mistake. 

We talked about not marrying your "soul mate" or the one you chose, but to allow God to choose His perfect companion for you as He chose Eve for Adam. We discussed that when God joins a man and a woman together in marriage it is the holiest of all unions because they literally become one flesh together.

But the outer physical union of that oneness can not even compare to the inner union of hearts God desires to join with him and then with each other.  Our families can never become one if the Husband does not desire to be fully united with Christ and His heart, untied with His wife, and her heart untied in Christ.

When that does happen the whole family is in unity with God, God's desires and plans and purposes for their family and a true witness of the Kingdom of God is manifested on Earth.

A Christian Husband that does not know the will of God for his life, can never lead his family in the kingdom of God because he doesn't know where he is going and the blind lead the blind into the ditch.

A Christian Husband, full grown Son of God must be the prayer leader of the family, the priest and king, not in lording over them, but in setting the direction with the Holy Spirit for the entire family. He teaches them the way of God and takes each ones hand helps lift it into God's hand firmly and then lets go and gets out of the way.

As the husband and wife "the two become one" begin to pray and hear God for one another, they become bonded in the love of God. Then God gives them children that had a divine destiny in Christ and with their family.

We were encouraged by the Holy Spirit that as spiritual Fathers we must pray for our chilren, listen to God for HI purpose and plans for them, and even more for our wives. We are called to  encourage, nurture, and guide them to fulfill God's divine plan for their life.

The Lord told Jeremiah, before you were in your mother's womb, I knew you, and called you to be a prophet to the nations. He says, In the book of Jeremiah 29:11 I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, thoughts of welfare and peace, and not evil, that you have hope in your final outcome.

As a true Godly Father and Husband, the Lord must speak these plans to you for your own life, your wife's life and your children. God must speak it to them as well, and then you give your live as a Son of God, Father and Husband to serve the Lord in helping each one of them become what God desires and that they live and do the will of the Father.

I close with the words of Jesus when the disciples came and told him that his mother and brothers were there. Jesus replied, "who are my brothers, and who is my mother? Everyone that does the will of My Father, they are my mothers and they are my brothers.

A Godly Husband and Father must teach his family the ways of God, not religious ritual of going to church, or just being part of a body of believers, and then go on your merry way content to live the rest of the life like the world.

A Godly Husband and Father teaches them to follow the Lord, to listen for his voice, to know his will for their lives and to follow it. He leads them by his own example and he prays for them diligently to overcome the enemy and every obstacle they face. He guides, directs, encourages, and speaks into their live as a Priest and prophet of His home and teaches His sons and daughters to do the same.

Beloved, why are there not more examples of husband and wives that are truly one with God and one another? Why are there so few married couples that breath and eat living and if necessary dying for Jesus and to do the will of God our Father? Does it take ISIS cutting Christian families heads off and not denying Christ to show us an example of truly being one with God and with each other?

We have time to get it right, but not much time. Men of God it it time to reflect on where we are and what we are doing? Are we the priest and king of our home as the Bible tells us we must be? Are we the chief intercessors for our homes? Are we asking God why he gave us our wives, and how we can lay our lives for them as Jesus did for us?

Are we asking God on how to cherish and love tour wives that when they see us, they see Jesus love in us to them? Will our children see a mother and father united in the Holy Spirit as one flesh leading their family into the fullness of the will of God?

Well it is here. God is going to finish what he started and full grown sons and daughters are coming forth. The enemy is trying to re-define what marriage is and blind us from seeing our spiritual place only found in Christ.

The enemy doesn't win, God does! God is going to bring forth and "end-time witness" of united "in Him" families who are so in love with God, on fire for God, serving God, and laying their lives down for the sheep as Jesus asked them to do the nations are going to tremble.

These full grown families of God will be filled with the power and Glory of heaven that will the families into divine alignment with His kingdom and His purpose. There will be families praying, "Come thy kingdom of God, be done your will on Earth as it is heaven. "

The enemy has not won, Paul wrote in Ephesians about husbands loving their wives as Christ loves the church and gave himself up for it. He spoke of what that love should look like and when the Husband is in his place doing the will of God, the wife willingly submits to His headship as we do to Jesus.

Paul writes a man shall leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. Then he adds, "THIS IS THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH! This is the mystery that is unfolding in the third day not just with us becoming one with Him in reality but also as families of God we will become rightly aligned with each other and with him to bear witness of the Kingdom of God.

The glory of the latter house shall exceed the glory of the former house. He is filling the families that are making themselves ready with the very glory of God. As He does this in those who desire to be one with him, their spouse, their family and the believers, the Glory of the Lord shall fill the whole earth.

All of creation is going to see the manifested sons of God in their place as full grown husbands and full grown wives as one with each other and God. Creation will see the children of these sons and daughters living and fulfilling the will of God now on the Earth.

Praise our God who is giving us His Kingdom understanding of what it is to be a "true Godly Father and Husband." I know all the men were change by His Manifest Presence in our midst. Can't wait till next Tuesday for more of what God will teach us and equip us with.
