Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Ephesians 5:25-33
In light of the ongoing issues with my wife, and seeking the will of God in what I am supposed to do. It is interesting to me that this verse popped up today. And at the same time it is interesting to me that I just read through Proverbs and how over and over Proverbs talks about difficult women or wives can be.
Yesterday I saw a video about how 90% of the women are toxic these days and what they do to lose what this video says are “good men” and destroy their marriages. And I agree with most of what the video said. Actually I have seen a few of them like this lately.
So this morning when praying and seeking the will of God, I still don’t have a clear picture of what to do. My best guess is not to make any decision as it will be made for me. My job is to just wait on the Lord and or my wife to make some decisions, then let the life play out as it will. But what the Lord did show me this morning is about the video and why. And the simple real answer is summed up in the verses above. And I am not saying this in a one way street where it is all the wife’s fault. Because I also do not see many husbands loving their wives as Yeshua loved the church. The Lord loved the true “church” which is the true born again believers in the Messiah, hearing him and obeying him. The only way a man can love his wife the way he is supposed to is by obedience to the Lord and his way. Very Very few men do this. I really do not know of anyone personally who does. I know of a few I see online or read about, but I do not know them personally.
The real problem however, according to the Lord is the doctrine or indoctrination the women have been given with all this women’s lib crap. Call me a male socialist pig if you want, seriously please do. Because if you do then I know enough to stay away from you because your views go against the truth in the Lord. I really do not care about your opinions and lies you want to follow. I will say however some of the laws they passed were important, like the right to vote. But they took it all the way there, just like everything else the governments do. And it is done on purpose to destroy families and make the countries and the people in them broke and weak.
The devil wants you weak, so do the elites who do the will of the devil. They want to control us all, take all our wealth, our health and destroy anything you may have with God. Most have nothing with God, they have something with their religion which is based on the bible and the god they teach about from that bible. This is also the doctrine of demons and exactly what the devil wants, you to worship a fake non existing god made by the doctrine of men.
So the devil and elites have used all these evil laws to do their will. They raised up religious teachers with new doctrine which is easier to follow than Yeshua, renamed that son of god to Jesus Christ and bam, you have nothing to do with God.
Same with marriage, give more power to the women who are the weaker sex in both physical strength as well as mental because they are way more emotional than men as a whole. Again, this is biblical, not just me being a pig. The toxic woman is toxic mostly because she wants complete control, things to be done her way and not any other way. And a man is between a rock and hard place because he is trying to be in love with his wife, while she is demanding things he knows should not be done nor is like that.
Wives are to submit to the husband and show respect. There is no respect in a demanding controlling attitude. It is the opposite. And as long as the women keep this attitude they will destroy marriages.
In fairness, a man who does not obey the Lord and demands things to be done his way is just as guilty of destroying the marriage. The whole of the teachings from Paul are about respect on both sides, doing what is right. So when one side or the other demands their own way or will to be done, it always leads to problems. Again, satan and the elites know this and do everything possible to push this agenda. They also know what poverty does to people, and why they want to destroy the US financially (actually all the world) and are doing a great job of it.
More than once I have used the example of a speeding train heading to a wreck or off a cliff, and instead of slamming on the brakes they are pushing the pedal to the metal to speed it up. They know that not only is the agenda they push about religion, about women’s rights, and about debt are all going to give them what they want. Control and all the wealth. And it all starts with doctrine, and then pushing evil doctrine. And then the people believing in that doctrine. There needs to be respect between husband and wife and not control on one side or the other or both sides.
As said yesterday, this is also why we have all the problems in the world. Men choose to believe the doctrine these men teach and push, which is destroying the truth which gives peace and a good life. The things of satan destroy and then the people compound that decision to follow satans doctrine by then complaining and blaming God as if it is his fault you chose to believe in the doctrine of satan over his perfect doctrine, and obey your flesh and will of satan over his.
I love my life wrapped up in him, it is excellent, even with the problems I suffer like with my wife right now. I thank God profusely daily for what he has done in my life. I know the “Lord giveth and taketh away, blessed be the Lord!” And mostly I look forward to the day when I get to meet my Lord and savior face to face, because I am very sure he will be saying well done, good and faithful servant, because I am serving him and not myself. My focus is on that, being a faithful servant and obeying him. This is the meaning of being a faithful servant, hearing and obeying him. Then letting the world do whatever it wants to you without keeping score.
Keep in mind the verse used the other day as God showed me. One he shows or uses a lot with me when people disrespect me and try to use me. Which is “vengeance is mine says the Lord, I will repay. It is a dangerous thing to be at the hands of God. It is not even that I want vengeance on my behalf, but knowing the Lord has your back, and seeing how he works by reading the bible and what he has done over all these years and still does. I know I do not want to be on his bad side, and also know how he protects his own.
By the way, two reasons over the years I know I am on the right path, first was a visit from a prophet in a church I was going to. He went around telling the people what the Lord told him to tell them. When he got to me, he said, “you have found favoritism with the Lord…” And many other things along this line. To which I said, I know! And I know why. It is because I listen to him and obey him. There is no other reason, it is not because he just likes me better than most sinners. It is because I stopped living my life of sinful disobedience and started to obey him.
The second reason is a few years back just out of the blue he said to me, “in you I am well pleased!” My goal in this little life I have left is to make sure he remains well pleased in me. No matter what man does to me, including my wife.
This is why it is so difficult to find the narrow path and stay on it. Our emotions get the best of us, when we let them. And when walking in the flesh you are obeying your flesh, and not the Spirit. It amazes me that people cannot see this, that you cannot obey the flesh and still be pleasing to God as if somehow your fleshly desires line up with the will of God, because they don’t. No man does nor ever will. It is not easy to obey a voice in your head especially when other voices are trying to trick you into believing it is of God when it is not. Plus just the fact of overcoming your own fleshly desires and doing things in a completely different way than you ever did before. And on top of this you have all your family and friends thinking you are crazy and do not like the new you. The new you is condemning to them as they want to continue to walk in the flesh like you once did just like them. Because if they are a friend it is because you both had the same fleshly desires. My good friends love drinking, sports and women. They are no longer friends because I do not get drunk anymore, go to strip clubs and or flirt with women, nor do I watch sports or any TV anymore, so what would we have in common?
This message is wandering a little, but it is making the point of how this world works and how God expects it to be with you, and how satan expects or wants it to be. And then how most disobey the Lord in favor of satan and do not even know it, then blame God for your problems instead of repenting. YOu will pay a BIG price for this attitude by the way. The one of doing things your own way, causing your own problems from it and then blaming him for them and or crying about them as if it is “poor little old me.”
Whatever problems you have in this life, seek the will of God, see what he tells you to do and then do it. Repent of your own ways. It is for your own good in this world and for your salvation.
