What attack on marriage? I'm confused....

 

[LovingLady]

Re: SOUNDING THE BATTLE CALL: INTERCESSORY WAREFARE AGAINST THE ATTACK ON MARRIAGE!!!

I am right with you. I think for each day we should play it by ear. What ever the sprint moves us to pray about, do it. What ever information we find that can help someone, post it. Allow the Lord to lead you on whatever you want to fast. All I know is that it is going to be 30 days hard hitting days, and at the end of it we will be stronger!!! YAY!!!

Do we start today or tomorrow?

SOME SCRIPTURES TO START WITH


18 The LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." 19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21 The LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 He made the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man. 23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." 24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.- GENESIS 2:18-24

A BIT OF A DESCRIPTION ON HOW TO FIGHT FROM SPIRITUAL WARFARE DELIVRANCE.COM

confrontation

This chapter is an answer to: what is spiritual warfare according to the bible? Or what is Christian spiritual warfare?

True biblical spiritual warfare is simply indirect confrontation with Satan our principle enemy. Indirect confrontation implies that we do not fight with Satan and his evil forces by approaching them directly. We confront them by applying indirect means and ways that God has established for us. These will be covered shortly.

Applying and fulfilling our required indirect roles secures our standing before God and allows him to directly act on our behalf. Attacks from Satan against us become God's battles as we obey and fulfill the roles required of us. In this spiritual battle God’s role is direct in nature as he is able to directly confront the spiritual forces unseen to our human eyes.

God himself does not necessarily fight Satan. He is too big to go out and fight a creature he himself created and allowed to exist after his rebellion. The Lord uses his angels, Satan's equals since Satan is also an angel, only a fallen one.

God through his heavenly government of angels has the power, authority and direct access to the kingdom of Satan and his fallen angels. We do not and we only deceive ourselves to assume we do. However, we have a very special role to play in setting the stage for God to send out his angels to minister (carry out) his will.

This special role comprises of fulfilling our expected part in our walk with God. The combination of our walk with God and committing life's battles into his hands constitutes our indirect role. God becomes our defender and acts on our behalf in dealing with matters confronting us and the people we commit to him.

True Christian spiritual warfare is living a life of consecration, obedience and fellowship with God in such a way that we enable God to effectively deal with the evil working against us and against other people. It is a form of abiding in Christ that overcomes Satan’s legal and illegal grounds against us and others. This is seen in the outline of our spiritual armor given in Ephesians 6:11-18 (outlined below).

Biblical spiritual warfare is therefore indirect confrontation against Satan. We approach God to intervene for us against Satan on matters in our lives and the lives of others.

It’s true that Satan and his demonic spirits (fallen angels) are our primary enemies we wrestle against. It’s also true that God has given us certain ways in the Bible of confronting these evil beings whose full time ministry is scheming to ruin our lives. Working outside these biblical ways only increases their effect in our lives. One of these non-biblical ways is the assumption that direct confrontation against Satan is our role.

Examples of Indirect Confrontation in the Bible

a) Examples of indirect Confrontation During Jesus' Time on Earth

Nowhere in the scripture do we see Jesus or the apostles bombarding demons in thin air and calling it spiritual warfare prayers or deliverance prayers. When Satan sought to sift Peter and finish him off Jesus prayed to God. Jesus prayed that Peter’s faith would not fail and when he’d turned back from the attack he’d strengthen his fellow disciples.

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers,” Luke 22:31-32.

Jesus Christ, God made flesh, prayed to God, the Father, for Peter’s deliverance. His spiritual warfare prayer or deliverance prayer was addressed to God not to Satan. How much more should we follow his example of indirect confrontation.

The events that followed showed the results of Jesus’ prayers of deliverance addressed to God, not Satan. Peter rose to be the foundation of the early church. His faith in his teacher and master, Jesus Christ, was preserved. God did his spiritual warfare part in fulfilling Jesus’ deliverance prayer by directly confronting Satan in the spirit realm.

I'm confused as is SND411. Are we missing something? Is this about some kind of confrontations you feel on here or in the world in general (high divorce rate)? This thread isn't a response to another thread, posters, opinions, right? I'm confused????

For me it is a confrontation I feel in the world and for some of the members. It all started with Luthiengirlie in the Random Thought Thread and then it trickled over into several other people.

Re: SOUNDING THE BATTLE CALL: INTERCESSORY WAREFARE AGAINST THE ATTACK ON MARRIAGE!!!

I was wondering because well...I'll leave it at that. Anyhoo...I think some unions are non-marriages and dissovable...but it depends. Like trickery used where one party is lied to, deceived etc. I know some people think that all marriages are perfect unions.

I do believe it's under attack but so is the family, the young, the old (abuse, misleading etc.). I'll leave you guys to carry on...stepping out the way now....

My prayer for tonight will be based of off this.

Love and Respect go hand and hand in any relationship. In order for a man to feel loved he must be respected. In order for a woman to give respect she must be loved.

Here is a link to a radio series that talks about how can you respect your man even though he may not be loving towards you.

Re: SOUNDING THE BATTLE CALL: INTERCESSORY WAREFARE AGAINST THE ATTACK ON MARRIAGE!!!

Okay I'm still confused. Is this warfare over the way CURRENT marriages are being handled in the world or is this just another "let's pray because the enemy is keeping me from getting a husband thread?"

-No. Its an INTERCESSORY prayer about Adversarial ATTACK on marriage as a WHOLE. Selfishness has NO place here.

Re: SOUNDING THE BATTLE CALL: INTERCESSORY WAREFARE AGAINST THE ATTACK ON MARRIAGE!!!

That's a very good question Nathansgirl... That attack by Satan has been in existence since Adam and Eve.. lol

But yes, current marriages and there is definitely a spirit AGAINST marriage (I mean, the institution itself, not specific marriages) lately that flexing its muscles, to break up marriages. It's not even about this Forum.. We live in a time where marriage isn't exalted anymore... certainly you see that?

Re: SOUNDING THE BATTLE CALL: INTERCESSORY WAREFARE AGAINST THE ATTACK ON MARRIAGE!!!

What do people mean about marriage is no longer exalted like before? Has marriage EVER been exalted like God intended historically? Marriage in ancient past had little to do with love and faithfulness and more about consolidating property and ensuring offspring. It wasn't some romantic fantasy we see today in Hollywood movies. Not only that, but even during marriage, people engaged in polygamy, concubinage, infidelity, abuse, etc. Marriage SHOULD be a blessing from the most high; a picture of Christ and His Church. But even the Bible says that marriage is sometimes not what it is cracked up to be and perhaps its in MANY peoples' best interest to remain single for God. I mean, why get so distracted about sex, relationships, men, when there are other much more important concerns in our world today?

I mean is marriage the end all to be all? I mean, sometimes I think we place waaaaay too much emphasis and attention on relationships/marriage as if it is the single most important issue in Christianity. Shouldn't we also think about eternity? Even the Bible speaks about how earthly marriages will be dissolved in Heaven

Re: SOUNDING THE BATTLE CALL: INTERCESSORY WAREFARE AGAINST THE ATTACK ON MARRIAGE!!!

I understand and respect that...

I won't post any articles, but the divorce rate among Christians has been increasing and equal to that among non-Christians. Why is that?

I'm challenged and I'm all for Intercessory prayer for Christian marriages and Christian singles who desire marriage who are under spiritual attack, the ones who are trying to make their marriage work, honor their vows and honor God. They ought to be lifted up in prayer by their brothers and sisters.

This isn't about an "I want a man/husband", not to me it isn't. This is deeper and more serious than that.

God-fearing couples raise God-fearing families ...

Oh yeah girl, I see that. But I wanted to make sure because I'm not engaging in any intercessory prayer over plain ole thirstiness.

No offense taken ladies.... but what I can't understand is why this thread is bothering you two so much? If you don't want to participate, you have that right to not participate. Maybe I'm missing something?

SDN11: I respect your opinion and objection. Yes, there are other concerns in this world and I agree that marriage will be dissolved in heaven. But guess what? We're still here on earth.. So "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth" is what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ taught us to Pray to our Father. This thread is no less than that.

I admit I AM offended. Yes the world hates marriage. We are NOT concered about the world. This is about an attack on Christian MARRIAGES and putting a hedge around those who aren't. So yes I'm offended the marriages I see are under attack with men being jobless andfeeling defeated. With women startin to feel fustrated to step outside. Christian marriages are ending in divorce. Marriage is a POWERFUL TESTIMONY and our marriages shod be stronger n more beautiful and powerful than the worlds' it is a TESTAMENT to YHWH'S love for His people. So YES I'm offended you're insuinating that this comes from selfishness

I have to agree. There is waaaay too much importance placed on this. I find it wearisome, the number of threads on this forum devoted to this topic.

And to be honest, I feel like there are other things to be praying about. I have never gotten the feeling from the Word that marriage is to have such an emphasis. As you said, for some, it is in their best interest to remain single for God. People don't like to talk about it, but being in a relationship and being married can cause one's heart to be divided, leaving very little room for God. And I suspect that many people who are praying for husbands are in this boat and God knows it. I don't think God wants to bring a man into a Christian woman's life until she will be able to handle having a husband and remaining true to God as well.

And let's face it, many women claim to want to be a wife and to bring glory to God with their marriage, when the truth is that they want to have legal sex. Period. Because if your focus is bringing glory to God, you don't need a marriage to do it.

Sorry for the tangent, because they said that isn't what this thread is about, but I wanted to respond to your post.

I apologize. I do not see you or anyone else here selfish and I should never discourage people from praying because God knows I need to pray much more myself. I see where you are coming from.

But I think part of the problem with Christian marriages ending in divorce is the FACT that people place waaay too much emphasis on marriage within Christian circles. This makes people feel inadequate if they happen to be single and in turn causes them to have the desire to get married for the wrong reasons to the wrong people.

"Bothering" isn't the right word. I think there was confusion because it wasn't clear what was being prayed about.

And for me, it moved into a concern of whether the praying is amiss or misguided. it sounds good to "sound the battlecry" but as I sit here, nothing is coming into my spirit to pray. I don't think Christian marriages are necessarily always going to have a lower divorce rate because everyone who says they are a Christian is not a Christian.

I'm waiting on the Lord to guide me in this and lead me in what to pray.

Well said. I think that people DO feel inadequate and they shouldn't. There is nothing wrong with being single, and even if you have to wait longer than you want, that's better than making the wrong move and having to recover from the devastation of a divorce.
