Children\u00a0 of\u00a0 Divorce\u00a0 &\u00a0 Remarriage<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u00a0 need\u00a0 to\u00a0 give\u00a0 our\u00a0 children\u00a0 a\u00a0 voice,\u00a0 so\u00a0 they\u00a0 can\u00a0 be\u00a0 heard\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is one child’s cry for attention:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t tell you my name because I don’t want to hurt my mom or\u00a0my dad, but my brother and I\u00a0are\u00a0so stressed out all the time. We hate\u00a0watching\u00a0mom\u00a0cry every\u00a0day because daddy left us. Mom said he moved across town to start a\u00a0new family with someone else. <\/span>We’re\u00a0scared all the time\u00a0now and don’t know what to do, or\u00a0what to\u00a0think. <\/span>We’re\u00a0afraid\u00a0to ask our mom\u00a0anything because we don’t believe\u00a0she knows what’s really going on or ask our dad either because he lies.\u00a0Our pastor\u00a0<\/span>says things will work out in\u00a0time,\u00a0but we don’t believe him either. How\u00a0can things\u00a0work out\u00a0unless\u00a0mom and dad\u00a0get back together again. <\/span>We knew this\u00a0divorce thing\u00a0happened to other kids at\u00a0our school, but we never thought it would happen to us. It’s hard to talk<\/span> about it, because\u00a0no one\u00a0really understands how\u00a0very angry we are, and when we get mad and do something stupid it only\u00a0gets them upset but we’re only\u00a0trying to\u00a0get some answers. It’s frustrating us like crazy. Were not the least bit happy about what’s going on. We cry in our sleep and\u00a0have\u00a0<\/span>nightmares over it.\u00a0Our dad says <\/span>stupid\u00a0things like, “<\/strong>Don’t you want me to be happy“.<\/strong> He said this after he\u00a0told us he wanted to\u00a0marry that stupid woman he was living with. Can you believe that, he wants us to be happy for him. How can he\u00a0want what makes us\u00a0so miserable? Why doesn’t he care about\u00a0us any more? I don’t think we were that bad!!!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

Lord,\u00a0forgive us for what we’re doing to our children, and for destroying your the\u00a0image to them by\u00a0our selfish acts of trying to please ourselves at your and our children’s expense. It’s obvious we don’t know\u00a0the true meaning of\u00a0love,\u00a0or the cost attached to that kind of love<\/span><\/span>!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0truly sad when\u00a0hundreds of thousands of children every\u00a0day watch their parents\u00a0divorce, remarry, or go live in a common law relationship with someone else’s mom or dad.\u00a0Then to top that off\u00a0\u00a060% of these rebellious relationships\u00a0fail\u00a0after\u00a0only a few short years, causing the children to become\u00a0even more confused than they already are. <\/span><\/p>\n

We’re\u00a0screwing with their\u00a0minds, their hearts, \u00a0and their\u00a0futures,\u00a0sometimes\u00a0even with their\u00a0very lives.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Suicide is on the increase\u00a0every year.\u00a0 why are we surprised?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve\u00a0produced a generation of children\u00a0who are not able to\u00a0trust God or anyone else, like us, their own parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes real courage to\u00a0speak\u00a0the truth\u00a0in love\u00a0from our pulpits these days. Many pastors are so\u00a0afraid of\u00a0offending someone with this truth that they\u00a0leave us\u00a0all struggling\u00a0trying to discern the truth through all their diplomatic double talk about love and commitment in marriage while they encourage divorce when their is adultery instead of forgiveness and then remarry them to someone else.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

We here at Hosea’s Cry<\/span><\/strong> have repented of living for ourselves and are now turning our hearts back to our children. We are\u00a0trying to listen to the\u00a0cries of their heart, be they\u00a0silent or loud, and be they young children or older. We tell\u00a0them that its ok to be angry at us,\u00a0because we\u00a0want them to speak the truth even if it hurts us, if they can speak it in love all the better,\u00a0but if they can’t, say it anyway! We want to hear their heart and we wont try to defend ourselves anymore.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We hope they will be able to forgive us before it’s too late, or they too will reap what we sewed into them. We hope\u00a0they discover like we did\u00a0that in Christ we\u00a0have found unconditionally love\u00a0and now want to sew that into their hearts so they can pass His kind of love on to\u00a0their future mates and others as well.\u00a0We\u00a0try to walk this out\u00a0now with our own spouses who\u00a0have divorced us. We want to be safe people for them to be around, no longer wanting to argue a point with them, but really learning to listen to them and to forgive them daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We tell our children\u00a0it’s not wrong to be\u00a0angry, just\u00a0don’t hold on to this emotion\u00a0give it to God as quickly as you can so\u00a0the bitterness of that emotion wont\u00a0set in and harden\u00a0their hearts like it did ours, because it\u00a0will only ends up defiling many as we can\u00a0testify too.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Satan delights in our\u00a0taking on an\u00a0offense against one another because\u00a0that has been\u00a0his strategy all along, to keep us from becoming ‘ONE<\/span>‘,\u00a0 he wants not only\u00a0to defile\u00a0our families with division, but whole nations.\u00a0Satan\u00a0knows how to tear down a nation, he starts by attacking\u00a0families one at a time because families are the\u00a0foundation of every nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0are teaching our children\u00a0that in Christ\u00a0we\u00a0can\u00a0overcome Satan’s plans,\u00a0even after a divorce has taken place, we teach by walking in unconditional love with\u00a0our non repentant mates.\u00a0The Lord\u00a0has made it very clear\u00a0that nothing is impossible for us\u00a0who love God more than ourselves.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Lord\u00a0has taught\u00a0us to\u00a0run to\u00a0Him quickly for\u00a0our answers when troubles come up and over whelm us. He then shows us where\u00a0to\u00a0stand in the gap on this ancient narrow path of His, and see His\u00a0ways are so very much higher than our ways.\u00a0Then as we kneel on this ancient path of His revelation light\u00a0shines upon us causing us to\u00a0rise up and leap for joy at the glory of the Lord our God that surrounds us giving us hope for our future and peace beyond our understanding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God desperately wants our\u00a0heart’s to turn\u00a0back to our\u00a0children, and the hearts of our children to turn back to us\u00a0before that dreadful day comes. God does not want our land\u00a0stricken with this curse called ‘division’ any longer, but wants us to learn how to be<\/span> <\/span><\/span>“ambassadors of reconciliation” with Him so He can restore what the devil stole from us through our act of obedience!!!<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we here at Hosea’s Cry<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 get along with our mates even though they\u00a0divorced us, or some have even entered into adulterous marriages. Like Hosea we work hard at being\u00a0safe people for them to be around. We\u00a0know and are witness to many marriages that were\u00a0totally destroyed by Satan and have now been resurrected and restored\u00a0back to life\u00a0again by\u00a0God’s power\u00a0alone working through them. The adulterous relationship\u00a0was broken off and repented of, then after\u00a0they spent time\u00a0with the Lord in the Valley of Achor\u00a0like Gomer did, God opened\u00a0a door of hope for them\u00a0too by showing them the way back home. Gomer\u00a0humbly returned to her covenant spouse Hosea who\u00a0was made ready by God\u00a0to go take her\u00a0back again.\u00a0This is happening all over the world. I wonder why\u00a0Pastors are not\u00a0looking into this more closely, and opening up, and talking about this with\u00a0their congregations?\u00a0Is it because they are afraid of ruffling some feathers?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God is doing this with Israel today. He is causing the Jews to repent of their wicked ways and they are starting to turn back to Him. He is\u00a0getting Israel ready to\u00a0open her blind eyes so she can\u00a0look upon the\u00a0one who was pierced\u00a0for her transgressions.\u00a0Even though God divorce Israel He loves her desperately and\u00a0wants\u00a0to take her back again. Yeshua, their Father’s only begotten Son\u00a0opened the way\u00a0for her to return. Yeshua is not only their brother but wants to be her bridegroom. He\u00a0is waiting for her with open arms.\u00a0He paid the\u00a0price\u00a0for her freedom by coming in the flesh for her, spilling His sacrificial blood on the mercy seat so she could turn from her\u00a0rebellious ways and enter in by the blood\u00a0of this Lamb, their Messiah into a\u00a0new eternal covenant with Him\u00a0and the father\u00a0who are ONE and the same, there is no other God like Him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Give God\u00a0Praise for He is able to do the impossible become His own Son!!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s time to stop this insanity we are living in<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Children all over the world are being traumatized daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The acute grief they experience at the\u00a0loss of their family unity, particularly\u00a0the loss of a\u00a0parent\u00a0that no longer lives with them is tremendous.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

As Parent’s we\u00a0need to wake up to the fact\u00a0that they might\u00a0never recover from this\u00a0trauma we inflicted on them\u00a0unless they can humble themselves and repent and cry out to God for His help to forgive us,\u00a0and learn to trust in God again, despite what our sin has done to them. This is a very hard thing for them to do that’s why God hates divorce so much. Satan knows this and laughs!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s being reported that children of divorce\u00a0receive very little emotional or spiritual support from their extended family, friends, or even from their church. Everyone seems to be focused on helping the grieving spouse who has been betrayed and abandoned, they need for us to become strong\u00a0so we can cope, and get on with our lives. (What ever that means in today’s world<\/em>.) They feel sorry and their hearts go out to the children of course, but they are really at a lose as to what to say to them to give them\u00a0any real hope in\u00a0<\/span> Almighty\u00a0 God,<\/strong>\u00a0 to\u00a0save or restore their family after a divorce or remarriage\u00a0has taken place.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As though\u00a0 divorce and remarriage has greater power than\u00a0the blood of Christ<\/strong>!<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0How foolish are the minds and hearts of men.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u00a0must be\u00a0that they have not taken the power of the blood of Christ\u00a0into account\u00a0or His desire to heal our broken families because\u00a0no one is being brought to conviction, or\u00a0true repentance by the church anymore. They say\u00a0peace, peace, when their\u00a0is no peace,\u00a0only God can give them the kind of peace their children\u00a0are really looking for. <\/span><\/p>\n

Christian counsellors\u00a0instruct our children out of a false sense of compassion not to hope in God to restore their family but to learn to\u00a0accept things as they really are once a divorce has taken place. They do\u00a0pray that\u00a0in time\u00a0these children will be able to\u00a0forgive their parents\u00a0who have wounded them so deeply. The praying for forgiving their parents part\u00a0is good, but\u00a0when the counsellors\u00a0make the mistake\u00a0in trying to encourage the\u00a0rejected spouse\u00a0that God\u00a0has someone better for them. They are acting as though God can’t\u00a0save, or\u00a0hedge up their\u00a0prodigal spouse who is in\u00a0rebellion. Don’t they know God wont let them\u00a0find any satisfaction in their\u00a0rebellious life style\u00a0they’ve chosen because He is a jealous\u00a0God.\u00a0Remember God is married to the backslider therefore He is able to\u00a0influence this prodigal\u00a0to turn back to their\u00a0family. God needs someone standing in the gap waiting for their return. their<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Pastors and leaders need to\u00a0stand in the gap\u00a0with the one who by revelation is standing and looking for family restoration and pray and fight the good fight with them never giving up hope.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Children\u00a0would\u00a0love to hear that\u00a0their Pastor actually believes\u00a0that God is able and\u00a0powerful enough to do just that. Pastors\u00a0do\u00a0encourage\u00a0forgiving their mate however, but many don’t encourage them to\u00a0stand and fight the good fight\u00a0and to be available to\u00a0God\u00a0who is able to bring their covenant spouse\u00a0back from the dead so to speak. This\u00a0involves a persons\u00a0free will of course, but\u00a0we found\u00a0pastors\u00a0actually\u00a0discouraged\u00a0us when we told them we were\u00a0standing and believing God would\u00a0bring our prodigal\u00a0back to their\u00a0senses.\u00a0If it wasn’t for\u00a0the revelation we received from God Himself we might have gone the ways of the world too.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I believe Pastors discourage us\u00a0because it often\u00a0takes years and they don’t believe anyone would be able by today’s standards to go the distance\u00a0required for a spouse especially after a divorced and remarried to someone else took place; of\u00a0course in the natural it would be impossible but with God going before us\u00a0nothing is impossible.\u00a0God’s eyes search all over the world looking for someone loyal to Him, who will freely\u00a0lay down their lives\u00a0so He can show off!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s true\u00a0that once\u00a0intimacy and trust is destroyed because of\u00a0adultery many people don’t want their spouses\u00a0back,\u00a0murderous thoughts\u00a0still lurk in\u00a0their hearts\u00a0towards them. Restoration is the last thing they want.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Their hearts\u00a0need\u00a0to be healed first anyway if they plan to\u00a0get involved in\u00a0another relationship some day, so why not get them healed and ready for a relationship with their\u00a0covenant\u00a0‘the until death spouse’ this time with Christ at the center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pastors\u00a0don’t believe that anyone in today’s society would\u00a0love God\u00a0like Hosea did. Hosea heard from God so was ready and willing\u00a0to lay down his life and wait on the Lord for\u00a0his Gomer\u00a0for the sake of the God’s holy name,\u00a0and His Kingdom pleasure and for Israel’s children’s, children … Israel’s next generation.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sure Hosea being human had to\u00a0humble himself more then once\u00a0before the Lord, confessing his pride was being trampled on again and again. She disgraced him over and over again with other men before and after she left him, but\u00a0Hosea knew\u00a0God was on his side\u00a0this empowered him to\u00a0go the distance required, and\u00a0this enabled him\u00a0to forgive\u00a0her and intercede\u00a0for her, so she could be\u00a0brought back from the pit of hell\u00a0so God would be glorified.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Church definitely\u00a0needs to wake up to what we are doing long term when we encourage and sanctify what God calls\u00a0‘adultery’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A broken and contrite heart\u00a0must come\u00a0first, so\u00a0you\u00a0can hear from God clearly, then when He calls you to\u00a0stand in the gap and fight like never before for your family because you now understand His heart. It’s\u00a0sad\u00a0that most\u00a0churches don’t\u00a0believe God is able to do the miraculous.\u00a0This is not witchcraft, this is warfare!<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Eph.6:12<\/u> Our struggle is not\u00a0against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When pastors teach rebellion\u00a0against\u00a0God and His covenant ways in marriage they force\u00a0children to live in\u00a0and absorb two different\u00a0life styles making life very difficult for them.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Children\u00a0who are forced to grow up in two\u00a0different households\u00a0find it very difficult for their parents or the people in their church to understand or relate to their dilemma.<\/span><\/p>\n

This transition is extremely hard on them because\u00a0they witness one\u00a0parent suffer the pain of rejection, while\u00a0the\u00a0other parent who initiated the divorce seems happy at everybody’s\u00a0 expense.\u00a0 Not fair they say!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The parent who left\u00a0tries to convince their children that they\u00a0love them, but this\u00a0doesn’t wash<\/em>.\u00a0People who love make sacrifices for their children’s sake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some children\u00a0suffer quietly not wanting to add to the grief of the\u00a0parent left behind, who are finding they are not managing very well on their own.\u00a0<\/span>Some\u00a0go so far as to try to take on the role of the missing parent by trying to help them. This child\u00a0works hard to suppress\u00a0their\u00a0own pain in order to do that, especially in front of the\u00a0parent who abandoned them,\u00a0leaving them to shoulder their responsibility. They\u00a0believe they\u00a0have\u00a0to step up to the plate.\u00a0This child is trying to be an adult before their time. This is so sad!<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Children\u00a0are often forced to\u00a0watch their mom or their dad, sometimes\u00a0both at the same time go looking for happiness in the arms of someone else’s wife, or husband this\u00a0defiles them all even further.\u00a0Satan loves it!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Then when they find their lovers, children are now forced to move into their home\u00a0with them this cause\u00a0them even more stress, anger, and confusion. They\u00a0take their anger\u00a0out on others,\u00a0while they play off their parents guilt trying to break them up so they will all leave. None of these kids want what they are being forced to endure. It actually is making them emotional sick. This gets Satan even more excited!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Divorce rates have risen 222% since 1968<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Children\u00a0would like to\u00a0hope that their parents will get it right some day, maybe even grow up, and get back together. But when this doesn’t happen soon enough for them,\u00a0their hope in a powerful God\u00a0is shattered and depression begins to set in.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We as parents,\u00a0and the church actually have the power to destroy God’s\u00a0image of\u00a0faithfulness to them by our\u00a0actions of disobedience to God and His ways.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then\u00a0we wonder why our children don’t want to come home or go to church any more?<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Children of divorce\u00a0often entertain thoughts of suicide as a way out of their pain. They’ve learned that our happiness far out ways their right\u00a0to happiness. Some\u00a0do more than entertain these thoughts, some actually succeed.\u00a0Suicide is very high among our youth these days because\u00a0their very foundations are being destroyed right out from\u00a0under them.\u00a0<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

What are the righteous to\u00a0do when their foundations are destroyed?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Canadian statistics report a total of 5,900 teen suicides in 2007 alone that are directly related to the life styles they\u00a0are\u00a0forced\u00a0to live in. <\/strong><\/span>We’ve put them through dramatic emotional, spiritual, and physiological changes then wonder why they are so messed up<\/span>.\u00a0.<\/span> .\u00a0\u00a0DUH!!!<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Children\u00a0have a difficult time in trying to understanding and accept why we had to get a divorce in the first place, especially\u00a0when we\u00a0say we are Christians and believe in a powerful God.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can put a bike in the garage and call it a car, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is still a bike. You can call yourself a Christian while you sit in church pew but that does not make you one.\u00a0They will know you are a Christian by your laid down ‘agape’ love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our children\u00a0are dying on the inside, but\u00a0many have learned\u00a0to hide their true feelings from their parents\u00a0especially when their parent\u00a0start to date, or\u00a0get married again, either because t<\/span>hey\u00a0believe they\u00a0have the no power to change things anyway, or they believe they don’t have anywhere else\u00a0to go. Often they find it’s\u00a0easier on every one\u00a0involved\u00a0if they\u00a0just go with the flow, and not make waves. This\u00a0encourages\u00a0them to become ‘passive aggressive’ like\u00a0Ahab in the bible.\u00a0It also makes them ripe\u00a0for a\u00a0relationship with a person under\u00a0the influence of\u00a0a Jezebell\u00a0spirit who wants to\u00a0take\u00a0over and control them; causing the next generation to come under the control of\u00a0these very same spirits.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When a\u00a0step parent brings their\u00a0own baggage and their own troubled children into the mix. All these children\u00a0have to\u00a0learn how to\u00a0deal with so many intense feelings that many\u00a0of them\u00a0gain or lose weight due to the constant stressors\u00a0put upon them. Teenagers are especially bothered by this. That’s\u00a0why Anorexia is on the rise,\u00a0and many of them\u00a0join\u00a0the statistics\u00a0of teen deaths due to this illness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Children\u00a0get honestly tired of\u00a0moving from house to house\u00a0continually while their parents stay put. They hate not having\u00a0their personal stuff\u00a0available to them at all\u00a0times,\u00a0it’s terribly frustrating\u00a0and some times it’s just enough to\u00a0push them over the edge.<\/span><\/p>\n

The destruction of their family causes them\u00a0to live with\u00a0tremendous sadness that\u00a0never seam to\u00a0go away.<\/span><\/p>\n

They feel helpless and don’t know where to turn, their\u00a0own parents being\u00a0the ones\u00a0who\u00a0sabotaged them. They wonder if anyone really cares, can’t someone see the violence that was perpetrated against us, please if anyone is\u00a0looking can’t\u00a0you\u00a0see\u00a0the blood\u00a0spilling from our broken\u00a0heart’s, blood being the evidence that a crime has taken place?<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Children in their fantacy would love to\u00a0call 911, and reported\u00a0this murder homicide of a whole families to the CSI, so\u00a0an investigation would ensue and the true culprit\u00a0would be exposed and held accountable for his diabolical slaughter of so many.\u00a0Maybe they would even\u00a0uncover how he did\u00a0this crime so they could learn how to prevent future destruction to\u00a0other families. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adolescence find it particularly difficult to adjust. 1\/3 of the boys and 1\/4 of the girls disengage from their step families, spending less and less time at home. Some leave these dysfunctional\u00a0families altogether, some\u00a0move back\u00a0with the other parent for awhile, or with a friend, or a relative. Some hit the streets to fend for themselves, others\u00a0become prostitutes\u00a0in order to survive,\u00a0being sexual abused at the hands of a step father they already\u00a0feel\u00a0defiled\u00a0and now have\u00a0no real\u00a0value anymore, used and abused they see themselves as\u00a0throw away people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you\u00a0asking where God is in all this?<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our Children would dearly love to\u00a0know the answer to this\u00a0question. Doesn’t God care? Can we blame them for wondering?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u00a0struggle with\u00a0fear all the time. What if they don’t\u00a0measure up to their parent’s expectation of them, will they too\u00a0be abandoned,\u00a0like you did\u00a0their mom,\u00a0(or\u00a0like mom did\u00a0their dad) if they screw up. Some become perfectionist\u00a0always trying to do it right afraid to fail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some\u00a0Kids\u00a0do just the opposite they completely rebel, and don’t care what anyone thinks, especially God, or their parents. <\/span><\/p>\n

All\u00a0these children have trouble\u00a0bonding with others,\u00a0dysfunction\u00a0breeds\u00a0more dysfunction. This has been proven over and over again. Their\u00a0lack of trust\u00a0for those in authority over them will affect not only their future, but their\u00a0marital relationship as well, broken relationships\u00a0continue well on into the 3rd or 4th\u00a0generations like the\u00a0curse that it is<\/span>. . .unless God intervenes.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0acknowledge Lord that we have\u00a0sinned and have been poor role models for our children in the past and that\u00a0o<\/span><\/b>nly You,\u00a0God can\u00a0turn this around\u00a0for Your glory, and we at Hosea’s Cry believe that You can do that!<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve\u00a0failed our kids in the past by getting so caught up in\u00a0ourselves and our\u00a0circumstances, and our own intense pain, and loneliness that we lost focus.\u00a0 Satan\u00a0deceived us into thinking we had to\u00a0try and save ourselves by getting out of our bad marriages.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

When you’re\u00a0deceive, you don’t know your being deceived, that’s part of the deception. We don’t\u00a0see what were\u00a0doing, or how selfish we’ve\u00a0become because, we forgot to\u00a0guard our heart and have allowed them to\u00a0become callus.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Many\u00a0hard hearted people remarry\u00a0too quickly\u00a0thinking it will make them\u00a0happy. They\u00a0don’t give themselves\u00a0time to truly grieve fully or forgive those\u00a0who wounded them in the past, be it a\u00a0parent, or a spouse. So in\u00a0trying to survive\u00a0they end up getting\u00a0caught\u00a0in yet another bad emotional mess, and all this at the expense of their\u00a0children, and Jesus’ holy name.\u00a0Too deceived\u00a0to realize the long term effect this would have on themselves and others.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We just need to stop long enough, to get Jesus perspective on things, and\u00a0quit listen to others with\u00a0compassion that comes from this world. We all\u00a0need to get some wisdom from God Almighty before it’s too late!<\/span><\/p>\n

Most remarried couples assume incorrectly that their children will:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0Adapt to their new life environment. A lie they choose to believe to make things easier for themselves, because it’s really all about them and their\u00a0happiness.\u00a0They don’t want to\u00a0think about their\u00a0children\u00a0and how this will effect them. If they do, they will only come up with some other excuse to justify what they are doing. They tell themselves their\u00a0children\u00a0will benefit\u00a0from this in the end, it comforts them and\u00a0helps them do what they\u00a0need to do.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

2) They\u00a0believe their\u00a0children are resilient and will bounce back quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These Are Lies\u00a0!!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If we weren’t so deceived we would realize how wrong we are!\u00a0But Satan has blinded our eyes and plugged up\u00a0our ears\u00a0so we can’t\u00a0see\u00a0our children’s pain, or hear their cries. Some\u00a0even\u00a0blame their children when things\u00a0begin to go wrong in their second\u00a0marriages saying they are just being selfish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humm. . .wonder where they learned that!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u00a0believe that their kids\u00a0will learn to love the new step parent in time, but they may find their loyalty lies\u00a0with the parent left behind. A child is more likely to feel\u00a0angry at a step parent\u00a0and refuse to even try to bond if they believe they\u00a0stole their dad from their mom, (or visa-versa.) They see them as a thief.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u00a0assume that just because the new person in their life acted kindly towards their\u00a0children while they were\u00a0dating, that this kindness would continue. Not always, some step parents have been known to\u00a0physically or sexually abuse children and deliberately look for a wounded person they can manipulate so they can continue to abuse children not caring who they hurt. These <\/span><\/span>children are afraid to say anything because they are\u00a0threatened with death if they tell. A parent\u00a0may not even have\u00a0a clue of what their\u00a0child is\u00a0going through, and are\u00a0shocked when they find out that the\u00a0person they married was a child predator, and only married them to have free access\u00a0to their children. This happens more often than we care to think about. Women and children are very vulnerable to this kind of demonic scheme, but we continually put our children in harms way through\u00a0ignorance, and\u00a0by our ill chosen lifestyles.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0want to believe our children will adjust\u00a0and do well in school,\u00a0some out of fear of abandonment become over achievers,\u00a0some\u00a0drop out of school altogether,\u00a0get involved\u00a0with sex, drugs or alcohol as they struggle to\u00a0deaden the pain they can’t handle. Some\u00a0find themselves in jail and wonder how they got their.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0hypocrites expect\u00a0our children to go to church with us, and act well behaved in front of others, but they are not stupid they know\u00a0we don’t fear God, so why should they. Maybe\u00a0God’s dead, or just doesn’t care about them personally. They don’t see God as having\u00a0 power\u00a0so why follow a God who’s\u00a0impotent. Their image of a powerful God has been ripped to shreds. They’ve come to\u00a0hate the hypocrisy they see all\u00a0around them, even in the pastor’s lives,\u00a0so quit\u00a0going\u00a0to church as soon as they can.<\/span><\/p>\n

The consequences of ou divorcing and getting married again\u00a0is far reaching. It effects everyone, our families, our extended family, our neighbours, our communities, even our nation is affected,\u00a0but it especially effects the\u00a0body of Christ. And we don’t even blush!!!<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

It’s much like dropping a dirty bomb, everyone gets\u00a0contaminated,\u00a0people are\u00a0killed or scattered all over the place, and the\u00a0tremors are felt generationaly.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the answer you have\u00a0all<\/span> been\u00a0waiting for!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God is not impotent!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Even in all this when our children and our society\u00a0seem most vulnerable, God is able to turn things around.\u00a0God\u00a0said, “When the enemy come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord\u00a0will\u00a0lift up a standard against him.”<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0have a\u00a0promise from God that the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church. God\u00a0is raising up warriors that will go the distance for Him. They will not\u00a0give up when the going gets tough. They will cry out day and night on behalf\u00a0of the nation so God can intervene.\u00a0God is revealing<\/span> the\u00a0Secrets of His Covenant to these\u00a0people because they\u00a0refuse to bow their knee on this altar of Baal’s,\u00a0to this god they call<\/span> <\/span>“Self Gratification”\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>The heart’s of many will turn\u00a0back to the ways of God because of them!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Individuals as well as\u00a0some church leaders\u00a0are now seeking God for His truth in this matter and are\u00a0getting\u00a0revelation that there is\u00a0a big difference between a\u00a0covenant, and\u00a0contract. God is\u00a0downloading this\u00a0revelation into\u00a0hearts right now. He is waking His people up and they are beginning to discern the times we are living in. They want to see us all to\u00a0turn back to God\u00a0and His ways again, and are seeking His answers\u00a0to the terrible disunity that is\u00a0going on not only in our families, but\u00a0in the body of Christ. Persecution\u00a0must\u00a0come to the church to cleanse us of our adulterous and wicked ways so that Yeshua can\u00a0come back for\u00a0a pure spotless bride.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is now so obvious\u00a0even to us that Satan’s\u00a0mandate is to rip apart marriages, and to sew discord into the body of Christ because\u00a0he\u00a0knows that this will keep\u00a0us from becoming One like Jesus\u00a0is One with the Father, so that He can do greater works through us than Jesus\u00a0did.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Satan\u00a0knows\u00a0that our\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>‘one-flesh entities’<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>hold the image of God to our children and to the world around us. If he can destroy God’s image of faithfulness to God’s own people\u00a0he will have won the\u00a0next generation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God\u00a0promised to take out our stony hearts, and give us\u00a0new hearts of flesh. It will be\u00a0through our willingness to repent and forgive those who have despitefully used us, that we will become one in Christ in our homes,\u00a0and in the Churches again!<\/span><\/p>\n

‘One Heart and One\u00a0way’<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Satan works hard\u00a0to destroy\u00a0our understanding of our \u00a0<\/span><\/span>‘One’ness<\/strong> <\/span>in Christ!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because\u00a0 that\u00a0 is\u00a0 where\u00a0 all\u00a0 the\u00a0 power\u00a0 &\u00a0 unconditional\u00a0 love\u00a0 is demonstrated!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our marriages have the same\u00a0mandate as the Church has. .\u00a0.to be one with Christ, holy,\u00a0and set apart for God’s use! Yeshua\u00a0paid<\/span> the <\/span>‘Bride Price’<\/strong><\/span> in full for us with His own<\/span> Blood<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong> We belong to Him, not ourselves!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Church body and our married body’s\u00a0belong to Him alone, and He will not be mocked! The Holy Spirit is calling those who will fight the good fight, to rise up and not be afraid, but take up our positions on the wall and stand for what’s right, for the sake of<\/span> Jesus<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span>holy name. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our Bridegroom is coming soon for His pure spotless Bride. He wants the blood from the violence to our children washed from our hands, and our wedding gowns cleansed of the blood stains, and the\u00a0wrinkles\u00a0ironed out from our sleeping\u00a0around with our wedding garments on. The Holy Spirit job is to\u00a0get us and our bridal garments\u00a0cleaned up,\u00a0and ironed out, and ready to be viewed before<\/span>\u00a0Yeshua<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>comes back. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God\u00a0 said\u00a0 don’t\u00a0 call\u00a0 me\u00a0 Lord! \u00a0 If\u00a0 I’m\u00a0 not\u00a0 Lord!<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Turn\u00a0 back\u00a0 to\u00a0 Me!<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus is weeping for His Church, His Bride like He did for Israel. We are acting the harlot when we indulge in sexual sin which is only bring defilement\u00a0and destruction on our land, but\u00a0God promised to restore Israel to their rightful place.\u00a0\u00a0If\u00a0we repent, turn back to the Lord and ask for His forgiveness. He will cleanse us of all of our wicked ways. <\/span><\/p>\n

We must Repent and Cry\u00a0out to Him for His mercy and\u00a0He will heal the one-flesh body and our\u00a0land, along with Israel for God is faithful even to the unfaithful! His love is unconditional, it’s not like man’s.<\/span><\/p>\n
