The Lord has really put on my heart to share this message for some time now. I will first start with the words of Jesus Christ to clarify some things first. Matthew 19:9: "9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
We have to realize there is a clear distinction between fornication and adultery. Fornication is premarital sex and adultery is marriage infidelity. Many people divorce today because of marriage infidelity but this is not a genuine reason to get divorce. The only reason to get divorced is if your wife or husband, promised to be virgin when you got married to them and they were not. Many people are asking how could this be? Well, today is difficult to even comprehend something so special and pure but Jesus Christ is referring to the things that were from the beginning when people used to get married as virgins. This is what it used to be like and if people were caught having sex outside of marriage they would bring great shame on their families and it would have probably been difficult to get married afterwards. So these are the words of Jesus Christ and they are pretty clear. I want to also share the words of Apostle Paul which I believe the Lord recently gave me some revelation in regards to them. In 1 Corinthians 7 Apostle Paul is giving an answer to the people of Corinth in regards to these certain things, these speciffic things, marriage and divorce and up until verse 11 Apostle Paul basically says what Jesus Christ said and at verse 10 he says:
"10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife." However, at verse 12 Apostle Paul says: "12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace."
...everybody knew Abraham, Issac and Jacob and their God and they all lived by the same principles but in Corinth, there were unbelievers and some people who were actually converted, there are the beginnings of Christianity, and when some people were converted maybe their wife's or husband's were not converted and what happens in such cases. If the unbelieving part is happy to stay with the believing part then do not get divorced. However, and this is very important to understand is that these are not the commandments of God.
There are the words of Apostle Paul but the most important thing for us is that we obey the words of God because we will all be judged by His words. Jesus Christ said: "Whoever keeps My word, he shall never see death". I do understand that there are peculiar situations out there and serious people, I don't really like to mention this because I know there are other people who are just looking for shortcuts, they think they can get away with things but God knows the intents of our hearts, He knows our motives but for those who are genuinely seeking the truth to obey it they might find themselves in a peculiar situation where let's say they were divorced and remarried before they came to Christ, before they came to the knowledge of the truth and now they are happily married and with children with their believing husband or wife. I cannot come and say to get divorced, leave your believing family and go back to your unbelieving ex-wife or husband. I can't do that, however, God can because God is God. If we are truly seeking the truth then we will be seeking the truth in prayer, we would even fast if necessary and we would really pray and seek the truth to receive it from God, we will seek and knock until we receive. If we just assume or look at some people who say it's ok to divorce, even some preachers, there might be other people who say it's not ok to divorce, even some preachers, so what do you do then? This is why we have to improve our relationship with God because we want to know the truth and Jesus Christ promised us the Spirit of truth to teach and guide us into all truth and He will not speak on His own authority but whatever He hears the Father He will speak. I encourage you if you really want to know the truth, if your intentions are pure and genuine then you will be seeking the truth in prayer until you receive it.
May Jesus bless you.
