The first thing to remember is that, the epistles are written to believers and and not unbelievers and so 1 Corinth 7:39-40 is to believers whose marriage is supposed to be initiated by God, and so no divorce is permitted, and not to unbelievers 👉Don't remarry if you divorce as...... So to want to isolate this text from it's context and apply to unbelievers, is wrong .
" A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God" 1 Corinth 7:39-40, is very clear for us to understand that, this epistle of Paul was written to BELIEVERS in Christ, and not UNBELIEVERS, so that we want now to take it and apply to people who married as unbelievers. Let's connect this verse back to verse 10 referring to believers.
👉 Therefore , trying to apply the unbeliever's marriage ways on the believers through fornication, adultery and say what God has put together, let no one put asunder until death do you part, equally can't work. And is what 1 Corinth 7:12-16, is illustrate that if you were all unbelievers, and it happens that one of you believes, and the other doesn't and want to leave you, let him leave, you are not bound. He can leave and go and marry him elsewhere, then you the child of God now, God can now bring his own mate to you. Not that he or she will leave, then you remain unmarried until the person dies because what God has put together, let no one put asunder. Is it God who put them together?
He or she is leaving because he is the child of the devil and doesn't want God. So will God bind his child and that of the devil until death because they got sex, paid dowry, court sign certificate, and pastors bless it ? Answer! Is it not a clear case of men making Laws to bind God? Was their marriage, God's will ?
The Rhema of God through the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, is very, very fundamental to turn to his guidance through scriptures when it concerns especially marriage and divorce, and remarry.
Let us not behave as if we don't know that Satan do initiate marriages for his own purpose of destruction, and will God put his stamp on it, so that the soul he wants to save be destroyed by the devil because of marriage? If you were God, will you do that? Terrible!!!
Please, l am a TEACHER of the word, rightly in my office, and established by the Lord to perfect saints in ready for the rapture, and there are allots of some disguised demonic doctrines infiltrated through some real servant of God, who think that they are right, which they are not and so holding many bound without knowing.
Scriptures says plainly: "Letters kills but the spirit gives life" 1 Corinth 3:4-6. So in every case, ask what is the Rhema of the holy Spirit saying, than just picking letters and quoting out of context may be going to condemn souls whom God has delivered from some demonic entangle marriages that will prevent their salvation and the fulfilment of God's purpose in their life.
Let me ask you a question: Which is more important before God? The salvation of a person's souls, or flesh sex marriage which ends here on earth? The bible says plainly: The flesh profited nothing.
Let me ask a question: Did you take the sister or brother case to the Lord for the Rhema given that they certainly got married as unbelievers before he or she she believed? Take her case to the lord and ask him, than just quoting letters out of context.
IS IT THE LAWS OF GOD THAT BINDS MEN, OR THE LAWS OF MEN THAT BINDS GOD?
👉 The bible says: May you will be done on earth as it is in heaven ....
👉 Anything that we ask that is the will of God, he will answer. ....
This simply means that, the Laws of men that binds God, are the Laws made according to his will. Those that are not made according to his will, don't bind him. God will only give you your heart's desires in things that are according to his will. If you desire anything that is not God's will for you, he won't give.
Therefore with this in notion, with delicate issues like marriage, we need to hear the Rhema of God so clearly. Remember the bible says " What God has put together, let no one put asunder "
So is it God who put the two of you together, or you put yourself together, and bind God with it? A pure example of godly marriage for his children, to show us how God puts together marriage is with the case of Isaac and Rebecca. When you yourself read, you will see that it is God, right? That is how any born again child of God not married and wants to get married, must seek the will of God and allow him to be the one putting together. Has Isiah 34:16 not said that ".. none of them will lake it's mate for the spirit of God, will gather them together?
👉 So is it the spirit of God that gather you together, or the spirit of the devil? Many are gathered by the devil through sexual immorality, they even start staying together, bearing children, then go and pay bride price, go to court and sign marriage certificates, then go to church for it to be blessed, then say: "What God had put together, let no one put asunder ". Is it God who put you together? So, men, making Laws to bind God.
