GRACE FOR DIVORCED PEOPLE

I was in prayer one morning when the Holy Spirit spoke to me to call a friend of mine who went through a divorce many many years ago. At first I didn’t know exactly why I should do this but as soon as I said yes I was given an utterance and was supposed to tell him: “Your divorce didn’t disqualify you. The blood is stronger than your past. Believe in the blood. Nothing what people have said about ut you will have an effect on your future.”

I didn’t know anything about this but for the next 20-30 minutes this man went on to share with me what his experience has been. I felt the power of God while I was listening and was amazed how God was ministering to him and lifting him up.

I think divorce is never the will of God and people should do everything they can to avoid it. Personally, I made up my mind and hold fast to the confession that I will never be divorced and I will stick to one wife until I die.

We shouldn’t be hard on people who went through a divorce or have experienced brokenness in their homes. They had already enough pain and heartache as they went through that, they don’t need additional onslaughts from the „moral outcrieers inside of the church“, who are typically the people who run around saying „we need this and we need that“ but they haven’t led anyone to Jesus in years and their words are not backed up by their lifestyle and therefore they are greatly lacking authority and those foxes are also the ones who send men of God emails and criticise them, while being spiritual not only asleep, but almost like in a coma.

Back to my point - Do you know the type of adversity hell may have unleashed against people who have fallen, or went through a divorce before they had that experience? The devil doesn’t even have to attack most Christians, because they are constantly walking in the flesh anyways. And some who have literally no clue about anything always have an opinion on everything. I explained to someone about the great things one person was doing for God, the listener said „Yeah but he had a divorce“. I got angry. The demonic realm opened up over that person and he was being influenced to make the decision to slander someone. I said, „You have no business holding that against him.“ I believe in being angry at times. The Bible says „Be angry and do not sin“. There is a form of anger that is not sin and which is from God. Why are we so quick to have opinions about certain situations or mistakes that people made and we have no clue about the full story? Isn’t it a reality in our days that Christians can engage in secret sin and justify it, and yet others cannot get rid of the stigma of their past which is long under the blood? This is a terrible double-standard. I have one pastor friend who went through a divorce many years ago who has greater love for Jesus now than the religious people who have judged him in the past. I will stick with him because I know his heart, I don’t care about his past. I prefer someone who has a true heart for God anytime over those who have the best seat at the table of organised christianity.

BLOOD-CONSCIOUS - what I mean by that is that I have faith in the blood of Jesus to be stronger than anybodies sin. I will be much quicker to dismiss every outwardly clean religious nut who doesnt know a thing about the power of God.

There are people in the church right now who have terrible marriage but they keep playing the christian game - do you think that type of hypocrisy is better than a divorce?

People who went through a divorce are in no way disqualified in the kingdom of God. Just to be clear, I am talking about people who had a divorce in their past who cannot seem to get rid fo that stigma. In no way am I suggesting that it is fine to get divorced now. There is virtually no way you can get this post wrong, unless you choose too anyways.

Did Jesus expose everything we have done wrong in the past? The answer is No. I honestly believe that the heart of God is to COVER (this doesn’t mean excuse), not to expose. We need to be careful and compassionate. Most of us are glad that Jesus forgave us all our sins, but I found that divorced people battle shame longer than most other people, because it has a greater tangible effect on the long run.

This shall not be so. No one should feel bad for sins he or she has committed long time ago. A true heart for holiness always seeks to restore those that have fallen..

Some just preach grace, but others actually extend it when its needed. (Selah)

I will always try to go after those who have fallen. The reality is, if there’s no repentance then I can’t really do anything, but I’m with them because Jesus was and is with them.

I declare over every person who is reading this who went through a divorce:

THE BLOOD is stronger than your past.

God has MIGHTY things in store for you and your past doesn’t define you!

God is not done with you.

If theres anything that needs to be cleared up, sorted out, etc. Holy Spirit will help you with that.

#BLOOD-CONSCIOUS

Get this to someone who has had a divorce. Freedom is coming.
