Just a word… when one is Born Again by the Holy Spirit of God and… ‘Divorces & Remarries’ into adultery = “Mark 10:11-12” = they “Sin”… against the Holy Spirit; and Quench the Spirit. The NT believer is sealed by the Holy Spirit till the day of redemption… but they then… bring that ‘sin of adultery’, against God… into that new union. They them become witnesses… Against God’s Grace & Mercy! You do remember… “No one can ‘serve’ – two masters”…? Either God or… “Yourself = Luke 16:13!” Love the one, despise the other…!
*** (1Timothy 5:24) Some men's = sins = are ‘open’ beforehand, = going before to judgment. = And some = they also = follow ‘after’.
*** (Psalms 106:15) And = He [God] = gave them their request; = but = sent ‘leanness’ = into their soul.
In the last Blog 303… we started looking at David’s “Adultery”. Simply look at the downward progression of what happens; in the following generations. David’s sin and the sins of all the kings of Israel can all be linked to ‘the disobedience’ by them, to the Word of God. David’s son Ammon = raped David’ daughter Tamar. Absalom later in Davis’s life… led a rebellion against David and the kingdom was taken from David. The list goes on and on… but what ‘someone’ today seem fail to realize… is that God… “Allows you = to Reap… what you Sew!”
*** (Hosea 8:7) For they sow = the ‘wind’, = and = they reap = the “whirlwind”. = It has no stalk; = the bud shall yield no meal; = ‘if’ it does yield, = strangers shall swallow it up.
*** (Galatians 6:7-8-9) Do not be deceived, = God is ‘not’ mocked. = For whatever a man sows, = that he ‘also’ = will reap.
(Gal 6:8) For he = sowing to his flesh = will reap corruption from the flesh. = But he sowing = to the Spirit = will reap life everlasting = from the Spirit.
(Gal 6:9) But we should not lose heart = in well-doing, = for in due season = we shall reap, = ‘if’ we = do ‘not’ faint.
From that day forward… the “Spiritual Life” of King David, was ‘never’ the same. It declined and the things that David wanted to accomplish for God, was given to another. With each place of responsibility; there is the opportunity for good or for evil. That is to say… “To–Obey God’s Word”… or… “Not– To = Obey God’s Word!” Do you think that David lived with that ‘regret’ the remainder of his days? He lost the ability to ‘control and influence’ his children… for God… and they ‘also’ went on to disobey God; because of David’s example. Many who divorce, either men or women… loose that ability… “To Know and Obey God and His Word”.
*** (Deuteronomy 17:14-to-20) When you come to the land = which Jehovah your God gives you, = and shall possess it = and shall live in it and shall say, = I will set a ‘king’ over me, = like all the nations around me,
(Deut 17:15) you shall surely = set a king over you, = whom Jehovah your God shall choose. = You shall set a king over you = from ‘among’ your brothers. = You ‘may not’ = set a ‘stranger’ over you, = who = ‘is not’ your brother [Jew].
(Deut 17:16) But he = “Shall– ‘Not’ –Multiply” = horses to himself, = nor cause the people to return to Egypt, = so as to multiply horses, = because Jehovah = ‘has said’ to you, = You shall return ‘no more’ = that way = from ‘now’ on.
(Deut 17:17) “Nor” shall he = “Multiply – Wives” = to himself, = so that his heart ‘does not’ = turn away. = “Nor” shall he greatly multiply = silver and gold to himself.
(Deut 17:18) And it shall be, = when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, = he “shall write a copy of this Law = in a book = from before the priests, the Levites.
(Deut 17:19) And it = “shall be with him”, = and he “shall read it” = ‘all’ the days of his life, = so that he = ‘may learn’ = to fear Jehovah his God, = to keep = “all the words of this Law”, = and these statutes, = to ‘do’ them,
(Deut 17:20) so that = his heart ‘may not’ be lifted up = above his brothers, = and = that he “does not turn aside” = from the commandment, = to the right = or the left, = so that he ‘may make’ his days longer in his kingdom, = he and his sons, = in the midst of Israel.
*** (Revelation 5:9-10) And they sang a new song, = saying, = You [Christ] are worthy = to take the book = and = to open its seals, = for You were slain = and = have redeemed us = to God = by Your blood = out of ‘every’ kindred = and tongue = and people = and nation.
(Rev 5:10) And You [Jesus] = made us = “kings” = and = priests to our God, and we will reign = over the earth.
Did you notice… “King”… in both ‘Deuteronomy & Revelation?’ The NT believer will reign as King also. To fulfill our future position and our current identification in Christ… do you think it not only necessary = but prudent that we = “Copy the Word of God”… and… “Live by It”… and… “Do It”…as the kings of Israel; were to do…? Absolutely Yes! Each king was ‘only’ to have… “One Wife!” Had God wanted multiple wives… He then would have given Adam… not only Eve; but Betty and Sue and maybe even Sheila! God’s Standard has always been and always will be… “One Husband, One Wife… for Life!”
*** (1Kings 11:3-4) And he [Solomon] had = seven hundred [700] wives, = princesses, = and = three hundred [300] concubines. = And his wives = ‘turned away’ = his heart.
(1Kings 11:4) For it came to pass, = ‘when’ Solomon was old, = that his wives = ‘turned–away’ = his heart = after ‘other’ gods: = and = his heart = was ‘not’ perfect = with the LORD his God, = as was the heart of David his father.
“What Parents… ‘Allow’… in Moderation… Children will… ‘Excuse’… in Excess”…!
The “Intent to Defraud”… is the basis for all divorce and remarriage situations. About now, someone is saying… “What about my husband or wife and what they did?” How many people, pastors and/or churches… “Obey the Word of God” and… “Perform = Church Discipline?” What many try to do is… “Not to hold accountable… ‘both parties’… in a divorce situation!” The “No Fault” divorces are available in all states and have set aside God’s standard for Marriage… and replaced it with man’s standard of “Non-Accountability!” In addition bring a legal matter before the Unbelieving Courts… is a ‘Violation of Scripture’… “1Corinthians 6:1-to-8”.
*** (Matthew 18:15-to-18) But = ‘if’ = your brother shall trespass = ‘against’ you, = go = and = tell him his fault = “between” = you and him = “alone”. = ‘If’ = he hears you, = you have ‘gained’ = your brother.
(Matt 18:16) But “if” = he ‘will not’ = hear you, = take = one or two ‘more’ = with you, = so that = in the mouth of two or three witnesses = ‘every word’ = may be established.
(Matt 18:17) And ‘if’ = he shall ‘neglect’ = to hear them, = tell it to the church. = But if he ‘neglects’ to hear the church, = let him be = to you = as a heathen and a tax-collector.
(Matt 18:18) Truly I [Jesus] say to you, = Whatever = you shall bind on earth = shall occur, = having been bound in Heaven; = and whatever you shall loose on earth = shall occur, = having been loosed in Heaven.
*** (1Corinthians 5:2-to-6) And you are puffed up, = and = ‘have not’ rather mourned, = so that he = “who has done this deed” = may be taken from your midst.
(1Cor 5:3) For as being absent in body = but present in spirit, = I indeed have judged already = as though I were present = concerning him who worked out this thing;
(1Cor 5:4) “In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ”, = when you are gathered together, = with my spirit; = also, with the power = of our Lord Jesus Christ;
(1Cor 5:5) ‘To deliver” = such a one to Satan = for the ‘destruction of the flesh’, = so that the spirit = may be saved = in the day of the Lord Jesus.
(1Cor 5:6) Your boasting is not good. = Do you ‘not know’ = that a little leaven = leavens the whole lump?
*** (1Corinthians 11:30-31-32) That's why = so ‘many’ of you are weak = and sick = and a ‘considerable’ number = are dying.
(1Cor 11:31) But “if” = we judged ourselves ‘correctly’, = we would ‘not’ be judged.
(1Cor 11:32) Now, = while we are being judged = by the Lord, = we are being disciplined = lest we be condemned = along with the world.
Most of ‘who’… call the Blessed Name of Christ Jesus… “Do not use ‘or’ want to use” = this Scriptural Methodology… to solve their divorce problem. There are ‘some situations’ in which this has been used; to the Glory of God; but ‘very few’ want to Obey – God’s Word! Those that choose… “Not to do So”… have simply ‘Excused Away’ the Sin of “Divorce & Remarriage Adultery.” Perhaps now is time for your; to ask yourself… “If God gave us instructions in His Word = does He want us: [1.] to Obey them = Or [2.] Not to Obey Them”…?
*** (James 1:22) Keep on being = ‘doers’ of the Word, = and = ‘not merely’ = hearers = who = ‘deceive’ themselves.
*** (Luke 6:46) "Why do you = keep calling Me [Jesus] = 'Lord [Master], = Lord [Boss],' = but ‘don't do’ = what I [Jesus] = tell you?
*** (Isaiah 24:2) And = “as it is” = with the people, = so it shall be = with the priest [pastor]; = as with the servant, = so with the master; = as with the handmaid, = so it is with her mistress; = as with the buyer, = so with the seller; = as with the lender, = so with the borrower; = as with the creditor, = so with the debtor.
This ‘decline’ of Obedience… to God and to His Word… is nothing but sheer… “License = Jude 1:3-4!” Lucifer, the Chief Angel of God, led ‘one third’ of the angelic realm, into rebellion against God. When ‘one’ does not want to give to God… the Glory and Majesty and Honor… due His Holy Name… they then ‘Rebel’. Mankind does so out of the sin nature, but those who ‘say’ they have been redeemed; do it as ‘rebellion’, as the children of Israel did! They will ‘always find’, friends, pastors and even those… ‘Like Minded’… to validate their disobedience to…. the Holy Word of God! Excusing away sin… and then ‘wrongly’ calling it; God’s ‘Grace & Forgiveness’.
*** (Numbers 23:19) God = ‘is not’ a man = that He should lie, = neither the son of man = that He should repent. = Has He said, = and shall He not = do it? = Or has He spoken, = and = shall He not make it good?
*** (John 8:43-44) [Jesus said] Why do you = ‘not know’ My speech [Words]? = Because you = cannot [will not] = ‘hear’ = My Word.
(John 8:44) You are = of the Devil = as [your] father, = and = the lusts of your father = you ‘will’ do. = He was a murderer = from the beginning, = and = ‘did not’ = abide in the Truth = ‘because’ = there is ‘no’ = Truth = in him. = When he speaks a lie, = he speaks of ‘his’ own, = for he is a ‘liar’ = and = the father of it [lies].
A person is ‘no better’… than their Word…! This month most of us had completed our income tax forms and mailed them in or filed electronically. You make sure you answer honestly all the questions and fill out properly all the forms. But do any, even do so with the Holy Word of God…? They fear the “IRS”… more than they do God, the God of the Bible! … Say it isn’t So?
*** (Rom 3:18) "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
*** (Proverbs 16:6) By mercy and truth, iniquity is purged, and by the fear of Jehovah men turn away from evil.
*** (2Corinthians 7:1) Then having these promises, dearly beloved, = let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of flesh and spirit, = perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Continued in part… “5”…
*******
*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship = toward Your holy temple, = and = praise Your Name = for Your loving-kindness = and = for “Your Truth's” sake; = for You [God] = have magnified = Your Word = “ABOVE – ALL” = Your Name. = [Psalms 119:18 & 1Samuel 3:21 & Deuteronomy 29:29]
"NO”… Real Christian... ‘Fears’, the Word of God... “Unless”… ‘they are’… Out of … “Obedience & Fellowship” …with ‘GOD’… and with “His Word”...!"
*** (Micah 2:7) House of Jacob, it is said, The Spirit of Jehovah is limited, if these are His doings. Do not My words do good to him who walks uprightly?
