Look at the phrases “This is from the LORD” “…as the LORD has directed.”
Establishing the will of God is the most important foundation you can lay in any marriage that will be successful. Parents, friends and other family members should assist to ensure that a person chooses a partner that is God’s will. Clarifying God’s approval establishes confidence at every stage and in every circumstance. It documents your surrender to His Lordship over your life. It documents your faith in God’s wisdom. It qualifies you for divine assistance. It strengthens you in warfare when you need to pray and defend your marriage against the attacks of the enemy. It emboldens you to ask for the blessings of God in marriage. God will not fund a trip he did not order.
Parents should be spiritual enough to discern the will of God for their children especially in marriage. They should pray constantly, long before the child is ready to marry, for the will of God to be done and to shield their children from falling in love with the wrong persons. Don’t leave it to chance.
PRAY: Dear Holy Spirit, please shield our children from falling in love with the wrong persons and help us to discern your will for them in marriage, in Jesus Name.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION: I plead the blood of Jesus over your soul and our children’s souls; you will not be deceived into making a wrong choice, in Jesus Name!
