Matthew 19:4–6
“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
In Mathew 19:4-6, God reiterates to us that we as humans are built from our beginning, deep in our DNA, to join in Holy Matrimony. It’s literally a yearning and source of peace that God gives to us. Satan and his secular army want nothing more than to deny us this gift, separate us from God and to send us on an insatiable search for peace from selfish behavior and the accumulation of the newest brands, trends and worldly behaviors.
By keeping us from God’s blessings of marriage, the world succeeds in keeping us from God’s Word, His promise and our natural maturation as we grow as He intended. By teaching women that they don’t need a man, or men that they don’t need a woman, or by confusing the roles of the two sexes, evil forces of this world are often successful in drawing people away from their natural calling and desires found in marriage, and the blessings and successes that come from that union.
With a clear understanding of this battle, the need for Kingdom men to lead as priests in their homes become even more important. Even when the world tries to say that a man who actually leads is something negative - don’t take the bait. God calls you to be the spiritual leader in your marriage. When you are, it will just make a good thing better.
Daily Battle Order:
As men, we are charged to speak the Truth of the Word. Stand up in your marriage and tell the Truth when you see it being challenged, no matter the societal consequences. The Truth doesn’t matter how we feel about it. The Truth isn’t open to interpretation and the Truth doesn’t evolve as society changes.
