Dominating Spirits. . . .The Cure!

Once again we address the subject of "dominating spirits". In today's segment however, we find out how to combat it.

Scripture clearly tells us that our love should be without dissimulation; and in our previous segment we learned that dissimulation causes us to behave just the opposite of the way we normally would.

We have further determined that a dominating spirits will cause conflict in our marriages. So, how do we actually deal with this?

Well my dear readers and married couples, it's a matter of love. One might say: how will love shut that big mouth of my spouse or how will it calm that wild man and boisterous behavior of my significant other? Simply by God's unprecedented Love! Did you think I was going to suggest that you just tie them up and put them in a closet for two weeks.(smiles) , of course not. Love is the most powerful and effective resource of your marriage. Not only does it comforts, sustains, upholds, delivers, forgives, encourages, forbears, entreats, it also is the 24/7 glue that holds your relationship in balances of integrity. Without it, you have no marriage.

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. (not cover up but rather compensate) That's right, it all has to do with Love. Love carries the authority of cancellation. What do I mean by that. . . .just this: Your love for one another, if it is genuine will cause haughty and aggressive natures to humble themselves to a higher authority. Even if that person has been that way for a long time. Here's an example:

Mark 5:2 (Whole Chapter) 1And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. You see, even in our own wisdom, influence and strength, we are not able to change people. We need help with that part! Many times we oppose ourselves without even realizing it, as that same man in the scriptures. 5And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. In this case, the dominating spirit did harm to himself. Now imagine if he were loosed and that spirit exposed to others; much like what happens in our marriages, we then become victimised by that spirit.

Well it is exactly the same when we allow dominating spirits in our marriage relationships. It must be dealt with through the Love of Christ. Now Jesus simply casts that spirit out of the man with His authority of Love. Sometimes it's not really the person, it's only an unfavorable spirit that's in that person. What do you do? . . . . . you cast it out with the Love of God of course. God's Love. It is the only life transformer available!. . . . . .but it works!

We don't need dominating spirits in our marriages. We have enough to deal with in every day life challenges without an unwelcome spirit such as domination. Domination is an unclean spirit. . . . .get rid of it and it, and it will change your marriages and once again bring peace, joy, and the harmony. That's what God intended for your marriages. So try it, . . . .you're gonna love it!

Always remember: You are Blessed!
