GOD DOES NOT APPROVE A SECOND MARRIAGE IF YOUR FIRST SPOUSE IS ALIVE!!!

Message for those who care what God thinks... You won't hear this in churches but that's what the Bible says:

If you were previously married and separated or divorced for any reason. Exception: in the case of prostitution (porneia) and now you are in a new relationship, know: God does not approve of your new relationship

God is not in it

It is not possible to be happy with the Boyfriend, nor with the girlfriend

Is the spouse alive? If so, you put yourself in adultery and whoever joins you also becomes an adulterer!

Adultery is a sin. Those who practice this act are opposing the will of God. Tampering means breaking the vow that is made during marriage, unfaithfulness.

Whoever commits adultery is disobeying a commandment of God. When two people unite in marriage, they do so not only before men, but before God.

But I say that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to become an adulteress, and whoever marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 5:32

He replied, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

Mark 10:11-12

Do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony between Christ and Belial? What is common between the believer and the unbeliever?

2 Corinthians 6:14-15

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins that someone commits, outside the body he commits them; but whoever sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, who was given to you in marriage to be honored by all; the conjugal bed, kept pure; for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.

Hebrews 13:4

OFFICIALIZE YOUR UNION !!!

 

This message is not a judgment but an exhortation!!!

You who are a Christian and who live together or have a boyfriend?

Do you live a married life while being single?

Know that you are in sin

Change this situation to please God and not give the enemy loopholes!

Officialize before God and men your union. But, some say: It's just a paper! No !!! It's a commitment made!

Otherwise, it's easy to join, it's easy to separate!

Think about it! Besides, You are putting your spiritual life and your salvation at risk! Fix your way while there's still time!

Do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony between Christ and Belial? What is common between the believer and the unbeliever?

2 Corinthians 6:14-15

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins that someone commits, outside the body he commits them; but whoever sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, given to you by God, and that you are not your own? You were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body.

1 Corinthians 7:9

Hypocrisy is pretense. God wants his followers to be honest and just, without hypocrisy. The hypocrite hides his faults to appear "very holy." This is wrong. We need to acknowledge our mistakes in order to receive forgiveness and mend our lives.

Hypocrisy is injustice. The hypocrite judges the mistakes of others but ignores his own. In so doing, the hypocrite judges and condemns himself! His own words pick him up.

Hypocrisy is also saying that you follow God but not obeying his commandments. We often say that we have surrendered everything to God when in fact there is still much that we have not submitted to him. But God always forgives those who repent of their hypocrisy.

how happy is that

to whom the Lord does not lay blame

and in whom there is no hypocrisy! While I kept my sins hidden,

my body was wasting away from so much moaning. For day and night

your hand was heavy on me;

my strength was running out

like in dry weather. So I acknowledged before you my sin

and I did not cover up my faults.

I said, "I will confess my transgressions,"

to the Lord,

and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Luke 12:1-2

"Why do you notice the speck that is in your brother's eye and not notice the beam that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is a beam in yours? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Matthew 7:3-5

Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, "'This people honors me

with the lips,

but your heart is far from me. In vain they adore me;

your teachings

nothing but rules

taught by men'".

Matthew 15:7-9

If we claim to have fellowship with him but walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

1 John 1:6

They claim they know God, but by their actions they deny him; they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

Titus 1:16

If a brother or sister is in need of clothing and daily food and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm and be fed," but you don't give them anything, what's the use of that? ?

in time of difficulty.

with the lips,

don't believe him,

for their heart is full of evil. He can pretend and hide his hate,

but his wickedness will be exposed in public.

But Jesus, realizing their evil intention, asked: "Hypocrites! Why are you putting me to the test?

Matthew 22:18

Breed of vipers, how can you who are evil say good things? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

TEN REASONS WHY I'M NOT A SPIRITIST

The Bible condemns spiritism. We are not to consult spirits. The only person who can guide and help us is God, no one else. Those who consult spirits open themselves to the influence of demons, which are never good.

Disciples of Jesus have the right to expel spirits but it is important to avoid fascination. Spiritualism can offer power and satisfaction but in the end it brings many serious problems. God is more powerful than any spirit.

"Do not use mediums or seek those who consult spirits, for you will be contaminated by them. I am the Lord, your God.

Leviticus 19:31

“When you enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not try to imitate the disgusting things that the nations there do. daughter; who practices divination, or practices magic, or uses omens, or practices sorcery, or performs enchantments; who is a medium, consults spirits, or consults the dead. abominations that the LORD your God will drive those nations out before you.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12

One day, as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit by which she foretold the future. She earned a lot of money for her masters with fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, crying out, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim the way of salvation." She continued to do this for many days. Finally, Paul became indignant, turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!" At the same moment the spirit left her.

Acts of the Apostles 16:16-18

"I will set my face against anyone who consults spirits and against those who seek mediums to follow them, prostituting themselves with them. I will cut him off from among his people.

Leviticus 20:6

"The men or women among you who are mediums or consult spirits will have to be executed. They will be stoned, as they deserve death".

Leviticus 20:27

She even burned her own son in sacrifice, practiced sorcery and divination and resorted to mediums and to those who consulted the spirits. She did evil in the eyes of the Lord, provoking him to anger.

2 Kings 21:6

Furthermore, Josiah did away with the mediums, those who consulted spirits, the household idols, the other idols, and all the other disgusting things that were in Judah and Jerusalem. He did this to fulfill the requirements of the Law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the temple of the Lord. Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul and with all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses.

2 Kings 23:24-25

Saul died this way because he was unfaithful to the Lord, was not obedient to the word of the Lord, and even consulted a medium for guidance instead of consulting the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, son of Jesse.

1 Chronicles 10:13-14

When they say to you, "Find a medium or someone who consults the spirits and mutters incantations, for everyone appeals to their gods and the dead on behalf of the living," answer, "To the law and the commandments!" If they don't speak according to this word, you will never see the light!

Isaiah 8:19-20

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.

 EMOTIONAL ABUSE

Identifying whether someone is emotionally abusing you can be difficult, as it's not always as obvious as physical abuse. However, here are some indicators that could point to possible emotional abuse:

Manipulation: The person constantly manipulates your emotions, makes you feel guilty, or blackmails you to get what they want. Use tactics like silence, indifference, or emotional punishment to control you.

  Constant humiliation and criticism: He constantly and offensively criticizes you, belittles you or ridicules your achievements, ideas or appearance. It makes you feel like you're not enough or that you're always wrong.

Excessive control: The person tries to control all aspects of his life, from his personal relationships to his daily decisions. It dictates what to do, how to feel or how to act, limiting your autonomy and freedom.

  Isolation: The person tries to keep you away from your social or family circle, devalues your relationships and makes you depend exclusively on them. It limits your contact with friends, family or loved ones, generating a feeling of loneliness.

Contempt and lack of empathy: The person shows constant disregard for your feelings, needs, or difficulties. He doesn't show genuine interest in your emotional well-being and minimizes your problems.

  Emotional instability: The person may have extreme mood swings, being warm and gentle one moment and hostile or cruel the next. This creates confusion and makes you feel insecure in the relationship.

  If you experience several of these behaviors on a recurring basis, it is important to consider the possibility that you are experiencing emotional abuse. Remember that you are not alone and seeking the support of friends, family or mental health professionals can be essential to help you get out of this situation and regain your emotional well-being.

A.D.

Narcissism is the term used in psychology to describe a preoccupation with oneself. It is a Greek term taken from the name of the mythological Narcissus, who fell in love with his own image and was condemned to die because he did not leave her. A narcissist is a person who exhibits a high level of selfishness, vanity, and pride. He views everything from a “how does this affect me?” perspective. Empathy is impossible for the narcissist because their only perspective is one centered on themselves. In psychology, narcissism is seen as a broad spectrum of conditions ranging from normal to pathological.

The Bible says that we were born sinners from the fall (Romans 5:12). This means that we are born with only sinful tendencies and no ability to be “good” or righteous on our own. What we call “human nature” the Bible calls “flesh” (Galatians 5:19-21). Part of our sinful nature is a total focus on self. This focus, also called “egocentricity,” is how babies see and experience the world. Narcissism is like self-centeredness in that the adult still relates to the world like a child, a perspective that impedes personal growth and relationships.

Psychological theories about narcissism suggest that the narcissistic person uses defense mechanisms to idealize himself so he doesn't have to face his own mistakes (sin) or failures (fallen state). The diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder describes a narcissistic person's behavior patterns as being arrogant, unempathetic, manipulative, and jealous; he also possesses a sense of entitlement and grandiosity. From a biblical perspective, it is clear that these heart conditions are due to pride, which is sin (Proverbs 16:18). The Bible tells us, “Let each one not look to his own interests, but each one also to the things of others” (Philippians 2:4). The narcissist routinely disobeys this command.

Pride is one reason people don't feel they need a savior or forgiveness. Pride tells them that they are “good” people or have a “good” heart. Pride also blinds people to their own personal responsibility and responsibility for sin. Narcissism (pride) masks sin, while the gospel reveals the truth that leads to remorse for sin. Narcissistic traits can be dangerous because, at worst, they will lead a person to destroy others to satisfy the lust of the flesh (2 Timothy 3:2-8).

The Bible addresses issues related to narcissism as part of our sinful natural selves (Romans 7:5). We are slaves of the flesh until we place our faith in Jesus, who sets the captives free (Romans 7:14-25; John 8:34-36). Believers are then slaves of righteousness when the Holy Spirit begins the transforming work of sanctification in their lives. However, believers must surrender to the Lord and humble themselves to have God's perspective instead of a selfish perspective (Mark 8:34). The process of sanctification is about moving away from the self (narcissism) and turning to Jesus.

All people are narcissists until they learn to cover it up and get along in the world or until they recognize their own flesh and repent of their sins. The Lord helps people out of narcissism when they receive Jesus as their Savior (Romans 3:19-26). The believer has the power to begin to love others as himself (Mark 12:31).

Painful experiences lived in childhood open wounds that we carry with us into our adult lives, negatively influencing our relationships. You don't necessarily have to have a traumatic childhood to have a wounded child inside you.

Emotional wounds arise when our needs are not met in childhood, generating a series of negative consequences when not properly treated, such as emotional dependence, insecurity, fear of relating, difficulty in establishing bonds, compulsions, eating disorders, fears and phobias, anxiety disorder, depression, shame, shaken self-esteem, need to please everyone, difficulty saying no and setting limits.

Bad comments received, judgment, rejection, helplessness, abandonment left marks that influence their behavior to this day.

The emotional wound of a child who does not receive love and acceptance from his parents causes him to become an adult who seeks in others the love and acceptance he did not receive when he needed it.

The wound of rejection in childhood causes you to become an insecure adult and have issues with acceptance. This adult who was once rejected constantly has the feeling that his way of being will not please anyone. The emotional wound when the child is exposed to "ridiculousness" and feels humiliated with people pointing the finger, making fun of him and laughing at him, makes him become an adult who feels afraid and ashamed of exposing himself.

The wound of betrayal in childhood when they don't keep what they promise makes the child become a distrustful adult.

The wound of the child who had his feelings repressed with that good old "swallow the cry", makes him become an adult who hides what he feels.

The child who has been severely punished is afraid of making mistakes, demands a lot of himself, and finds it difficult to complete projects.

Do you see your inner child? It is fundamental to become aware of our pains so as not to be dragged by them. We are not slaves to what happened to us. We must go beyond our wounds and promote adaptive changes that work for us today.

Our words have a lot of power. By his word, God created everything that exists and his words always come true. The word of God is alive and full of power. Jesus is the Word of God.

Our words affect our lives and even have power over life and death! The mouth speaks what is in the heart. With our words we can condemn ourselves or confess Jesus as our savior. Therefore, we need to learn to be very careful with our words.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword; it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Hebrews 4:12

The fruit of the mouth is filled

man's stomach;

the lip product satisfies you. The tongue has power over life

and about death;

those who like to use it

they will eat its fruit.

We all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in his speech, such a man is perfect, being also able to control his whole body.

James 3:2

When we put bits in the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can control the whole animal. Also take ships as an example; although they are so large and driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder, as the pilot wishes. Similarly, the tongue is a small organ of the body, but it boasts great things. See how a great forest is set ablaze by a single spark. So too, the tongue is a fire; it is a world of iniquity. Placed between the members of our body, it defiles the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. Every species of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures is tamed and has been tamed by the human species; the tongue, however, no one can tame. It is an uncontrollable evil, full of deadly poison.

Through the word of the Lord

the heavens were made,

Matthew 12:34

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these are what make a man unclean. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false witness and slander.

Matthew 15:18-19

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses to salvation.

Romans 10:9-10

But I say that on the day of judgment men will have to give an account for every idle word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
