3KEYS TO HAPPY MARRIAGE

3 Keys To A Happy Marriage (Or, any relationship.) JOHN 13:17 KJV 17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 1. Be thankful. It all starts with attitude. If you don't stay on the positive side, failure is inevitable. You cannot have a happy marriage without happy people. Have you noticed that unthankful people are never happy? 2. Express your appreciation. Let your spouse know by word and deed that you appreciate them. Be specific and lavish in your praise and thanks. Nothing encourages people like encouragement. People love people who love them. If you want your spouse to love you, the best thing you can do is love them, and let them know it. 3. Aim to please. If you make them happy, you will be happy. True happiness is never found in trying to please ourselves. Fulfillment comes from accomplishment, and the greatest accomplishment is helping someone else in their life.SAY THIS: With God's help, I will have a happy marriage.

DIVORCE IS A REALITY TODAY

Divorce is a reality today -- but let me be candid: It wasn't part of God's original plan for us, nor does He want us to go down that road if it possibly can be avoided. The Bible even says, "'I hate divorce,' says the Lord God" (Malachi 2:16).

That doesn't mean it's an unforgivable sin (for it isn't), nor does it mean God can't bring healing afterward (for He can). But it does mean we shouldn't take it casually, or enter into marriage thinking that if things get rocky, we can always bail out. God takes marriage very seriously -- and so should we. As a footnote, I wish churches did more to help young people understand the responsibilities and joys of marriage.

Why does God say He hates divorce? One reason is because He knows the heartache it causes -- and He doesn't want that to happen to us. Divorce is never easy (no matter what some say), and when two people reject each other and don't want anything more to do with each other, the results are always hard. And when children are involved, the situation is even harder.

What can you do? First, turn to Christ for the wisdom and grace you need, and commit your life and your future to Him. Then avoid constantly talking about the past with your children; that only makes things worse. In addition, trust God to work in your son's heart; he's still young, and in time he'll hopefully move beyond this.

OBEDIENCE IN MARRIEGE

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Ephesians 5:22-24

God has designed a way for the home to function, and that is for the man to take the responsibility of leadership and for the wife to come under that authority. When a husband truly loves his wife, and cares for her like Christ does the church, and the wife respects her husband, things will be well in the home. That couple and that family will be magnets for the blessings of God

                                OBEDIENCE IN MARRIAGE

Ephesians 5:22-24 gives an important area of obedience. While this is not popular in our society today, it is biblical, but is also often misunderstood.

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Sav...ior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

It is important to make clear that before God there is an absolute equality between men and women, between husbands and wives. In fact, this passage does not say, "Women submit to men." It is purely a domestic situation.

Even with that understanding, the Bible says that husbands and wives are heirs together of the grace of life. There is an equality before God between men and women and husband and wife.

What this passage teaches is that God has set up a system of authority in the home that needs to be followed, if it is going to be well with us. In fact, this is even a military term. To submit or to obey means to put yourself in rank under.

Friend, we are in a spiritual warfare, and there are spiritual forces that have been unleashed against homes and against marriages that would love to tear marriages apart.

God has designed a way for the home to function, and that is for the man to take the responsibility of leadership and for the wife to come under that authority. When a husband truly loves his wife, and cares for her like Christ does the church, and the wife respects her husband, things will be well in the home. That couple and that family will be magnets for the blessings of God

PRAYER FOR SALVATION A born–again, committed relationship with God is the key to he victorious life. Jesus, the son of GOD, laid down his life a loose again so that we could spend eternity with Him in heaven experience His absolute best on earth.

It is the will of God that every one receives eternal salvation. The way to receive this salvation is to call upon the name of Jesus and confess Him as your Lord. The Bible says, That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU CONFESS

It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes. Keep hope alive.

THE POWER OT THE TONGUE

There’s power in word’s and especially in God’s Word. What you consistently say, whether good or bad will have a great impact on your life. That’s why it’s so necessary to speak good words.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21)

You can either speak life to your situations and circumstances or you can speak death to them, and most people agree that life is better than death. In order words, they prefer having life, not death, rule and reign in their lives. But choosing life over death is only the beginning. In order to speak life into your circumstances, you’re going to have to know how to do it. When you learn how to properly speak to circumstances, you will begin framing your life with the Word of God.

Most of the time when you talk about death, people think you’re talking about someone dying and being buried in a graveyard many ‘graveyards’ in their lives, because they are speaking death over their circumstances. Death in the form of failure and defeat is reigning in their lives because of the power of their tongue. They are experiencing the fruit of their own words, and it’s death in whatever area they’re speaking it.

Let me show you an Old Testament example of the power of the tongue. In Numbers 13 and 14 we find the account of the twelve spies sent from the twelve tribes to spy out the land God had promised to give the children of Israel.

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, “send thou men that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send man, every one a ruler among them……….” (Numbers 13:1,2,17-23,25-33)

Reading this passage carefully, we can see that twelve men were in the same place, seeing the same thing, yet some of them saw things differently. Why? Because ten men saw with their natural eyes: the other two were seeing with the eyes of faith. Ten of the spies saw the fruit of the land, and they say that it was good. But they saw the giants there too. I’m sure the other two spies, Joshua and Caleb, saw the same giants. But they had a different report. What made the difference in what each group received?
Their confession – what they said made the difference.
Ten spies said . ‘we saw the land where you sent us, and it did flow with milk and honey. But the people who live there are strong! And the cities have walls around them, and the children of Anak are there’ (vv.27,28).
Joshua and Caleb said something different, however. They said,
‘ lets go and posses the land at once. We’re more than able to overcome it’ (v. 30)

YOUR CONFESSION WILL SET YOUR LANDMARKS

Joshua and Caleb set the landmarks of their lives by what they said. They said, in essence, ‘No matter what the giants their looked like that we saw with our physical eyes, we’re going in there to take the land. God has given us Canaan, and into Canaan we shall go!’

Notice the stark contrast between what the two groups said. Joshua and Caleb said, let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
The other group said, we be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.

One group said, ‘we are well able.’ The other group said, ‘we are not able.’
Now look at something else the second, unbelieving group said:

And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

First, how did they know how they appeared in the sight of their enemy? They said, ‘we were in our own sight as grasshoppers. So that’s how we were in their sight too.’ There is another Old Testament verse which says, As he [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he (prov. 23:7).

Christians today have had a grasshopper mentality. The world has been telling us that we’re nobodies, and we’ve believed them. We’re been out selling raffle tickets trying to help out our churches. We’ve said, ‘Take a chance. Give a dollar donation for God’s poor church.’
Many pastors have had a grasshopper mentality. They’ve refused to walk by faith, and they’ve refused to teach their people to walk by faith. As a result, they’ve produced a bunch of little grasshoppers just like themselves.
We need to dare to receive all God has for us. We need to get rid of that grasshopper mentality and start seeing ourselves as the overcomers that we are in Christ.

What shall we then say to these? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (Romans 8:31,32,37)

We are not grasshoppers. As we put God’s Word into our hearts, we will see ourselves as God sees us. First (John 4:4) says, Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (Philippians 4:13) says , I can do all things through Christ which strenghtheneth me, (Mark 9:23) says If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Keep confessing those things until they become reality in your heart. Then go forward with the Word of God in your heart and mouth and watch God do great things in your life.
Some Christians are always wishing or hoping things would get better in their lives. They’ll say, for example, ‘Mr. Smith has such a nice family; I wish my family were like that.’
‘Why don’t you start confessing the Word over your family?’
I’ll ask.
‘Well, would, but my husband is always acting up. He’ll never come around.’
‘Why don’t you fight, then?’I ask.
I’m not talking about physically fighting with your family – with flesh and blood. I’m talking about rising up in faith and confessing the word of God. For example, don’t confess your husband as he is now. Confess him as you want him to be and as God, according to His Word, wants him to be. If you will have in life what you confess, why not confess good things? Why not confess the bible?

Let’s look at what happened in Numbers. What were the end results of the confessions of the spies after one group said, ‘We are well able,’ and the other group said, ‘we be not able’? The crowd sided with the ten unbelieving spies.

“And they [the ten spies] brought up an evil report of the land…. Unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried and the people wept that night.” (Numbers 13:32,33;14:1)

I tell you, if you hang with the wrong crowd, they will hinder your faith. Joshua and Caleb had faith, but by having to be with those other ‘skeptics,’ it took them forty years to do what they believed they could do at that moment.

Some Christians will say, ‘I only want to go back to my old life and be with my old friends.’ That is a dangerous attitude, because those old friends are going to hinder you spiritually if they’re not walking with God. They’re going to deter you or keep you altogether out of the things of God.

The children of Israel kept Joshua and Caleb out of the Promised Land for forty years. They had to wait until an entire generation died out before they could enter into what God had for them. For forty long years, they wandered around in the desert.

The ten spies and the other Israelites had said, ‘We be not able,’ God became angry and said, ‘All right then. Have it your way. You can have what say.’

And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would God we had died in this wilderness! And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this Land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? Were it not better for us to return into Egypt? (Numbers 14:2.3)

Look at God’s response to them after said, ‘Would God that we had died in this wilderness!’

“……..As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.” (Numbers 14:28-30)

The ten spies brought back an evil report of unbelief, and they received the fruit of their lips. In other words, they got what they said. But no the positive side, even though it took Joshua and Caleb longer to enter into because of their unbelieving brothers, they did eventually enter into the Promised Land.

They got what they said. And you can have what you say too.

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU CONFESS
