Divorcing the World and Marrying the Lordby Earlean Johnson

This week article focuses on the relationship we should have with our savior. Some people was taught at a younger age to wait on your true love to marry, and while you are single to explore your options. As you mature spiritually, you realize that some of the things you were taught or learned from others were not of God, but of the world. This article will assist you with making wiser decisions on learning how to fall in love with the Lord and out of love with the world.

To those who have ever felt the experience of loving someone intimately, think about the emotional feeling you had whenever you heard his or her name or whenever you heard his or her voice. These emotions can lead to sin such as lust, fornication or adultery. God want us to establish an intimate relationship with him, that whenever we hear his voice we get excited and aim to follow his direction because you know his love for you is true, and hearing or saying his name is power to heal, provide, restore, anything you need. As we age from our childhood, we make pick up on habits from relatives, friends, or peers that may encourage us to interact in activities that are not of the norm of ministry. For example the abuse of drugs is a sin of the world that many become victims of. Some will start out using a gateway drug that will induce the use of a stronger drug. In order for a person to eliminate the use of drugs, he or she must attend treatment through a rehabilitation center or etc. This is the same way with life, we must divorce our way of living that is of the world, and marry our one true love. Once we marry the Lord, we will have everything we need. One may ask how I can marry the Lord. When a man and woman marry, they become one. When we marry God, we trust him, he becomes our first love, we put no one before him, and he provides us with wisdom on how we should live daily, he becomes a part of us.

During a wedding ceremony, the minister may ask the bride and groom to repeat the traditional vows, for instant: Do you take (name) to be your lawful (husband/wife), to have and to hold, and so on. A vow is an oath or promise one makes. With marrying God, the vows may go something like this: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me, thou shalt not make unto thee

any graven image, thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy, honour thy father and thy mother, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor, and thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house” Exodus 20:1-17. Just as a husband and wife are suppose to up hold their vows, Christians are to keep their vows with God. If you have not accepted the proposal of the Lord, now is the time to consider making the best step in your life you can ever make and say yes to the Lord, and leave your old life behind. Once you say I Do to God you are letting go of your past and moving forward to a future that results in eternal happiness if you keep your vows. Once you become engaged which is the area of your life that you acknowledges you need the Lord in your life and want to turn from you worldly life, you desire for the wedding ceremony to begin instantly, which is spiritual elevation. I’m sorry that you missed my spiritual wedding, but I’m looking forward to receiving invitations to yours. May your marriage with the Lord provide you with everything you need in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen! Be bless!
