What's up with mixed marriages?

Is it in fact such a big deal whom I get married to? Yes yes yes. The word of God uses relatively much space to warn us against committing ourselves to nonbelievers. Joshua 23:8-13 2 Corinthians 6:14 1 Corinthians 7:39 1 Kings 11:3-6 Deuteronomy 7:1-4 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 ..........!!

God is very protective and jealous when it comes to whom you marry. Marriage is like building a house. You start with the foundation. And the foundation is key to a successful building, a strong house that will stand for many years.

When you marry a person who is not a believer, it's like attempting to build a house on sand. The foundation will not hold the house for long.

When you get children and you are about to raise them problems come. Which set of rules are you going to teach them? Who should the children listen to, the father or the mother?. Which set of values shall determine the lifestyle of this household?

Both individuals that decide to get married have a spirit. The Holy Spirit cannot dwell together with an evil spirit. If you do not belong to God you are against God, so the bible says. Matthew 12:30

That person will now be an open entrance for the enemy to enter into this household. The enemy is always busy destroying whatever he can get hold on. So there will be a natural war between the two spouses, which will lead to war between the children and eventually war in the entire household. Matthew 12:20-25 Matthew 10:34-36 Micah 7:5-6

The person you hook yourself up to determines God's ability to bless you, lead you, guide you, and to answer your prayers.

Is God not all-powerful? Yes, he is, but if we decide to attach ourselves to a person who disbelieves God, he can warn us but not stop us. But it will restrict his ability to provide for us, to answer our prayers, and to favor us.

That person has been send or is used by the enemy to take you out. To kill you. It's a set up in order to prevent you from becoming what God has attended for you from before you were conceived.

God paid a high price for your soul, he made a covenant with you, so that you should not attach yourself to someone who will cause you to compromise on your beliefs, and violate your boundaries.

God is not having full access to your heart when you belong to a person who does not respect and worship the Lord. You cannot fully and freely serve the Lord when you are in a mixed marriage, because you have to consider his or her feelings and opinions.

Solomon was a great King, that had all the wealth in the world, and wisdom as well, but he chose to marry women who did not believe in God I am, but in different gods.

Eventually, he began to worship these foreign gods, who led his heart away from God Elohim. When God warns us from something it's not because he is being mean or controlling, but because he is trying to protect us from destruction.

He loves us too much to let us walk right into hell.
