As I was praying this morning for so many the Lord brought this to mind. Yes it is a tough word. However tough is not always bad. Still chock full of nutrients.
This word is for those of us who are blessed enough at this point to be married.* Who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. Who are *undergoing fiery trials and being showered with a seemingly constant barrage of enemy attacks from within their own home.
I realize that may sound a bit backwards to some, but to those who have ears to hear, let them hear what the Lord would say to them.
I am not going to give a full teaching here on what Holy Spirit has shown me. It is difficult at best to receive for those who desire to be in the Lord's perfect will and yet with just the following few words and a pure heart for seeking after God, I am certain the Holy Spirit will show you the truth, what you can glean from this for your life. For those who are not ready to receive, it would be futile to even try and explain.
This is God's divine order:
1. God2. Marriage3. Family4. Church (ministry)
This is God's divine plan, plain and simple.
Mix these up and you've got major problems.
Before God ever created the church, He created the family.
Before God ever created the family, He created the marriage.
Before God created marriage He created us to have fellowship with Him!
It is so critical for us to understand God's divine order. So very many families and marriages have been destroyed unwittingly because they didn't understand God's divine order.
It is sometimes easy to get our personal ministry time to God confused with our vocation or our ministry for God. When this happens God's divine order gets turned upside down and that is when our world comes crashing down around us.
Think of it like a triangle. God at the top, marriage next, family under marriage and the ministry (church) on the bottom.
The minute we start giving more time to God, serving in our ministries, over spending time with God, is the moment we will see a shift taking place in the divine order of things.
"When our family, marriage starts rocking and a rollin'."
I will just say this, a few words... not every attack we come up against is a direct fire from our adversary Satan. Nope...and....We are able to close the doors to his assaults on us and our marriages and families by simply changing the way we do business. Spiritual business.
Why and How?
Well for starters (this is the part that sticky for some)
The Why - We are actually the ones responsible for opening the windows and doors allowing the attacks into our lives and homes. Remember the Divine Order I mentioned at the very beginning? Well that is how. When we get out of order the triangle crashes and the house comes tumbling down. Nothing is working the way it should. That's when the enemy gains his foothold in.

The How we can just fix it is simple but sometimes no so easy.
We just need to humble ourselves and get our "House back in God's divine order".
So I'll let those who need to hear this word listen and be blessed.
