In the
spiritual war, an equally yoked, Christ-centered and Holy Spirit-empowered
marriage is an awesome weapon against the forces of darkness. When the two
become one—united in their desire to submit to God and resist the devil, the marriage
becomes a solid fortress against the enemy.
And the
above traits are precisely the keys that make the Godly marriage such a
powerful force in the spiritual: First, both are equally yoked. This means
that, for the most part, both are at the same level in their relationship with
Christ. Both have about the same level of intimacy with the Lord. It also means
that both share a very similar understanding and revelation of God’s Word.
Next, a
powerful marriage is Christ-centered. Both need to know that ultimately, the
marriage is not about them but about magnifying the name of Jesus. Spouses that
know that Jesus is the priority in their marriage are able to relate to one
another much better. Christ-centered spouses are merciful, just and forgiving.
And since Christ-centered marriages know their Biblical authority and power
over the enemy, they do not tolerate any of the devil’s schemes to meddle in
their marriage union or even in their family.
God-ordained
marriages are Holy Spirit-empowered. Both are constantly in agreement about
inviting the Holy Spirit of God into their marriage at all times. This permits
their relationship, their ministries, their businesses and their parenting to
move in powerful alignment with God’s perfect plan for them.
In a Godly marriage,
the blessing of Matthew 18:19 is constantly being felt. Both are consistently
in agreement over the prayer issues of that the couple has. And what better way
to confront the devil than being in agreement that the enemy needs to get out—in
Jesus’ name!
This is why
the enemy attacks the God-ordained marriage with such ferocity. The enemy knows
that if he can cause a marriage to stumble, he has a much better chance of making
the individual spouses fall. The devil also hates the Godly marriage because it
says no to sexual sin. Godly spouses keep the marriage bed undefiled which
brings even more power into their marriage. I always preach that purity=power!
If you are
not yet married, don’t rush! Wait and pray for God to show you the person with
whom He wants you to do life together. And when you do find that special person that you think might be "the one," schedule a session of pre-marital deliverance with Invicta Ministries before you tie the knot. Let's make sure that you're not inviting any demons to walk with you down the aisle!
If you are married, but are not equally
yoked, heavy prayer (especially strong spiritual warfare prayer—binding,
loosing, resisting and casting out) and fasting is in order.
And finally, if you are
already in an equally yoked marriage, keep inviting the Holy Spirit to move
both of you where He wants you to be and enjoy the blessings and joy of the marriage
covenant!
Invicta Ministries of Deliverance and Inner Healing is based out of beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
