KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE-Introduction

Keys to a Successful Marriage Recap Summary for Clarity

Let me begin by saying that these are not traditional concepts of marriage, and neither do they “knock” traditional marriage. I don’t expect you to agree with all the kingdom concepts due to the history of what we’ve learned, and that’s okay because varying views help to sharpen “our” views. I respect different perspectives because they are like facets of a diamond. But I hope you can see the trajectory. In simplicity, it’s about knowing that the written word is the Living Word of God, that God breathes into our spirit upon the “new birth” (John 3:1-14). “But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God’ (Matthew 4:4). There the Koine Greek for word is “Rhema” meaning the word that God’s Spirit breathes in us. According to the comparison of Scripture about Kingdom Concepts and Empowering Thoughts, it makes living for Christ easier. Let me correlate it with Christ’s words in Matthew 11:28-29. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

For me, as I reflect on my new birth experience, it means to enrapture the mind, soul, and body with the presence of the Lord. That becomes the driving force for DECISIONS and DIRECTIONS in life and relationships.

So Kingdom Concepts are Empowering Thoughts that help us to stay focused on the Person of the Lord, the Testator and Mediator of the New Covenant of Grace that ratifies the promise of God to us (Hebrews 9:15-17). Empowering thoughts means that what we think of the most, the thoughts we are obsessed with, we will say and do. You can compare that to Proverbs 23:7 which says “…as a man thinks, so is he…” Correlate that word with Christ’s words in Matthew 5:28 which says, “If a man looks on a woman with lusts after her in his heart he has already committed adultery with her…” It means the more he or she thinks of it, they will say something and do something about what they are thinking.
