The Universal Word of God. . . is for your Marriage!


In a world filled with so much turmoil and pretense, a universal attack on the marriages seems to be the target for old Satan! Nevertheless, in today's segment, we will explore those strategies and expose them.
We live now in a society of sophisticated vocabularies. That's right, words! Words of promise, words of authority, words of direction, words of advise. Our communication has been so high tech, until our words are now transmitted through computer micro chips otherwise known as emails and etc.
The words we speak can actually be as detrimental as they are life changing. Allow me to explain.
Mankind has always, from the beginning of time adopted the God-type attribute of using words. Here's what I mean. In the beginning: God used words!
Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: just to mention a few; and now it's our turn.
You see, it is through the power of speech do we set the courses of our lives, and in this particular instance, our marriages. Yes. . . . . .what you speak, you become.
Even modern day psychologists teach us that positive words result in positive actions, which result in positive results in one's life.
Listen to the scriptures also:
Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Interesting isn't it? Are you getting the point? That's right, you have the power to speak into your marriage.
We don't even realize the effectiveness of our own words! We use too many negative phrases. Just listen to these phrases and you fill in the blanks!
Negative phrases such as: "you're always. . . . I can't ever get. . . .I guess I'm just not. . . . we'll never be able to. . . . .and many many more of these negative statements destroys the fiber of your relationship, as well as you as individuals. Don't you see, WHAT YOU SPEAK, YOU BECOME!. Just as our Lord spoke this world into existance, we also have that same ability (only on a much smaller level) to speak the things that are wholesome, healthy, encouraging, rewarding, and most of all, the things that are right!
Just maybe we need to re-educate ourselves and our thinking. So where do these negative things come from. Yes . . . Yes . . . . the Devil himself. He doesn't want our marriages to become strong. He wants to destroy them. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Why do you think that the churches are so ineffective today? It's mostly all entertainment. No saving, no healing, no setting the captives free, no real deliverance. It's almost like a social club. Why. . . . . because the families are not strong, because the marriages are not strong either. Weak , broken down marriages,. . . . . .weak broken down church! That's a fact, like or not!
Our marriages must be healed!. . . . .and a good place to start is with our words. Changing the way we speak, even to each other as husband and wives. Remember this! You can't take back words! (whether you meant it or not)
In our next segment, we will address the positive side of our words. Yes my dear readers, words for our marriages. Good Words, words for strength, healing and restoration.
So until next time. . . .
Always remember: You are Blessed!
