EXPERIENCING OVERWHELMING VICTORIES THROUGH OVERWHELMING LOVE - 2

Romans 12:21 “Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good”

We are continuing our meditation on the above text and theme.

God’s way is love, we can only have God’s kind of result if we do things God’s way, Love is the answer of God to the world.

Looking down through the ages, God has always answered through love. For instance, when man sinned against God in the Garden of Eden God killed a lamb and clothed their nakedness to cover man up. God does not answer tit-for –tat, an eye for an eye. His way is the way of love. You must choose to answer life with love. Unless we make this choice, things will become more and more difficult for us.

Brethren, you have been wired to respond in love, any other reaction will not bring victory. You have to train yourself to live this way. You must readily adjust yourself to love. The onus of this love walk is not on the other person but on you.

If God was supposed to respond any other way towards us, guess what? You and I will not be where we are today.

1Peter 2:18” Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear not only to the good and gentle but also to the forward….”

“Bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you” 

You must learn to leave your case in the hands of the one who judges fairly (God). The reason some of us don’t see God answer for us in our situation is because we have answered for ourselves. We have taken the matter into our own hands.

1Peter3:9 “Never return evil for evil or insult for insult…” when you do good, good comes back to you. Every single time you obey God on this, you always come out victorious, untouched, and unscratched.

There is big time winning waiting for you in this season we are in and you must ask yourself: Do you want to get it your way or God’s way? It’s only going to happen if you choose God’s way - the way of love. You have to determine and deliberately choose love.

Gal 5:6 “…for in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision availeth anything nor circumcision, but faith which worketh by love.”

The world’s way is not going to solve our problem. We believers had better wise up and start training ourselves the way of love. Paul says” …..I show you a more excellent way” (1Cor.12:31) . Faith with love is like having a turbo engine attached to your canoe as opposed to paddling a canoe manually. Folks, what should take you days may take a year without love. Walk the walk of faith through love.

You don’t kill your enemies, you love them. In loving them you remove the case from your hands and you put it in God’s hands. If we are going to have victory God’s way, we must learn God’s way. Stop relying on the arms of the flesh. Every other way apart from God’s way is the arm of flesh and by the flesh shall no man prevail. The Bible says we should be like Jesus that when he was reviled, He reviled not.

Love is not self seeking. We live in a self seeking generation. A selfish world that does things its own way.

 Let us overcome everything that’s not love by love and then see what God does with it.

You have to determine that this is where you are going; the result you want to see is of a greater price than what anyone can do to you.

Love is to unreservedly give yourself to another. If love stops then we know it’s not love at all. If love find barriers with a person’s peculiarity, looks or gifts then that love was merely an enchantment or lust.

Genuine love will never give up.

EXPERIENCE OVERWHELMING VICTORIES BY OVERWHELMING LOVE

Rom 12:21 “Be not overcome with evil but overcome evil with good’

The word overcome means ‘to get the better of’ it means to overwhelm, gain superiority or upper hand’

There is a way to overcome and overwhelm evil. God’s way is the way of love and it’s the winning way.

1Cor.13 tells us that “love can endure everything without weakening. Love never fails or fades out or comes to an end”.

How would you like to be on the side of something that never fails at all times? If you stay on the side of love you will always win, whether against the devil or human beings.

Natural human beings don’t have an answer to love. Please know that God is not punishing us by asking us to love our neighbours but rather He wants us to win all

the time. You hurt no one but yourself for not loving and you also put yourself at a disadvantage. Instead of doing tit-for-tat with a person who’s done you evil, you sputter the person with good. When you do that you will always win, because love never fails, never fades or becomes obsolete. There’s no weight that can crush love.

What gets us defeated is that we want to show the person doing evil to us that two can play the game. It’s your own responsibility not to let evil conquer you but conquer evil by always doing well. So, when evil is being thrown at you, you do good, that’s practical love.

You have to decide if God’s way is worth it or not and then make a decision. The worse the days get, the higher the demand for the walk of love, it’s the only antidote to this world. The flood of adversity cannot quench the force of love. No matter how fierce the opposition is, love will bring it to its knees. You want to have overwhelming victories, walk in love like you have never done.

We Christians do not seem to have problems loving unbelievers but believers, why? We think he/she should know better. We begin to reason things out. But reasoning is never spiritual, they are fleshly and canal. Stop using your own maturity to judge others. We must let God’s love flow from us. I must not have offence over people or walk in bitterness towards them; but rather overcome evil with love. Jesus says “pray for your enemies that you may be children of your farther who is in heaven”

Eph5:1 says “Be ye imitators of God as dear children”

There will always be opportunities for strife and contentions. It is not being weak to move away from situations that will cause strife and bitterness.  As you sense those things coming, you must choose the side of good rather than the side of strife.

1Peter 3:9 says “Never return evil for evil, insult for insult”.  It’s about time we start doing the word of God and stop allowing the flesh to get the better of us, as far as it depends on you live at peace with everyone, never avenge yourself but leave the place open for God. Be quiet says the Lord.

When I pay evil for evil, insult for insult, I have lost the right to take blessings from God. What will you rather lose? The blessing, happiness and protection of God or just that moment of showing flesh?

 The way to overwhelming victory is the way of love. Choose to love. Apply yourself to love. Let love get... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

DO NOT BE OVERWHELMED

Philippians 4:6 (AMP)

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ( definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.”

We are at the season of the year that there is a lot of activities both in the physical and in the realm of the spirit. It is also a period when there is a lot of anxiety in the hearts of people. This is why I want you to meditate on our text for today. You see you cannot be in faith and entertain anxiety or worry at the same time. Where faith is present, anxiety and worry take a flight out of the window and vice versa is also true.  

Our text for meditation says to not allow anxiety in your heart under any circumstance or over anything, this means God is saying to you He can meet you at the point of your need. 

So, rather than allow yourself to be overwhelmed by the many things you need to do or accomplish before this year ends, turn it over to God and rest in Him. 

The Scriptures say, “He is able to keep to the uttermost that which is committed to His hand” and also that “faithful is He who promised, who also will do it”. Lastly, Jesus said:

“So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.” MATTHEW 6:34 AMP

FAITH AS A SHIELD

Ephesians 6:16 (NIV)
“In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”

1 Tim 6:12-13 (NIV)“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

Taking a cue from our meditation some days ago where we saw that Jesus brought the use of faith to two main things, which were to get rid of stuff we don’t want and to bring in stuff we want, I want to point out to you today two other uses of faith.

From our first text for meditation, you can see that faith is used for defensive purposes because it is symbolized as a shield. A shield is for defending and the Scripture says if you have your faith in place you will not be hit by ANY fiery arrow thrown at you by the enemy. Yes, you heard me right, YOU WILL NOT BE HIT BY ANY ARROW OF THE DEVIL. I can hear someone asking, is that possible? Well let God be true and every man and every experience of man to the contrary a liar. 

The word of God said it, I didn’t say it. To use faith as a defensive weapon means you use it to protect or defend your territory and all that is therein. Put the shield of faith around you, your family, your business and all that is connected to you. Someone may ask, how can I do that? Through the words of your mouth because faith is expressed through words.

The other use of faith is offensive. Offensive is when you take the battle to the... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

FAITH IS A MAN’S GRIP ON GOD

Luke 5:17-20
“And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.”

Where God’s word has been preached or taught, power is present. Where the Holy Spirit is also power of God is there. But you will notice that even though the power of God was present to heal, nobody got healed until someone came who had faith. Faith is what is used to take hold of the power of God to heal, deliver or prosper. So until a faith connection is made with the power of God, nothing happens even though the power of the Lord is present.

I believe this is why someone said that faith is a man’s grip on God, this is because faith is your hand in the realm of the spirit with which you take hold. The way you make the faith connection with the power of God is by speaking it with your mouth. This is what you see with the woman that had an issue of blood.(Mark 5:25)

The Scriptures said she kept on saying, “if I may but touch the hem of His garments, I shall be whole”. Then there was the case of Blind Bartimeus, who also shouted when he heard Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. I want you to know today that God’s power is... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

THE USE OF FAITH

Mark 11:22-24

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

It seemed like Jesus broke the use of faith down to two major things: Firstly, it is to get stuff you don’t want but are already in your life out, “…that whosoever shall say to this mountain, be thou removed…”. Secondly, it is to get stuff you want in, “…what things soever ye desire, when ye pray…” 

Some people will feel guilty that that is all their faith is for but there is nothing to be guilty about because these words came out of the lips of Jesus. Faith will get things out of your life, this means there is nothing that the enemy brings your way that you cannot get rid off. Be they bad habits, sin, sickness, failure, poverty and lack and it does not matter how long or complex such things have been, you can get rid of them. 

Now, it is interesting that when it comes to getting rid of things, Jesus said you should just speak to those things and they will obey you. Now when it comes to getting stuff that you want, whether they are spiritual material, physical or financial, Jesus said you should...https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

WHAT COMES NEXT TO OBEDIENCE?

Romans 4:12

“And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.”

One more thing on walking in the steps of the faith of Abraham. After righteousness has been established in the heart as the heart is changed and the fear of God is implanted in the heart, it enables obedience. Now look at what comes next to obedience:

“Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.” Hebrews 11:11 KJV

What comes next to obedience? You receive strength to do whatever you have been asked to do. But that is not how we want it, we want to receive strength first before we obey. But the word shows us that you have to step out in obedience first before you find the strength you need. When you understand that with God He counts willingness of the heart as though you have obeyed, then you will realize that firstly what God is looking for is that in your heart you have said yes.

“For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.” 2Corinthians 8:12

“Once the commitment is clear, you do what you can, not what you can't. The heart regulates the hands.” THE MESSAGE

This needs to be understood because once you understand it, it takes away the hesitation you feel in responding to the pull of the Spirit of God because you are thinking you don’t have the strength to carry it out.  The ability to do comes after the willingness of the heart to do. This is where faith comes in, faith is of the heart, so it is through faith you make your... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

FAITH IS IN STEPS

Romans 4:12
“And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.”

The Scriptures say that we walk by faith, so faith is a walk and if it is a walk then it is in steps. We live and walk by faith in steps, one step after another. Abraham the father of faith, his faith walk was in steps and the Bible says he is the father of us also who walk after the same steps he walked. In looking at Hebrews Chapter Eleven, we can glean the steps that are involved in the life of faith. 

We have looked at them separately but I want to bring everything together in one swoop. You can see all this in Hebrews 11:1-13. Faith brings you righteousness, then translation and then introduces you to the reverential fear of God. The next thing that follows these first three is obedience:

“By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.”  Hebrews 11:8

You see what enables obedience is a heart that has been made righteous and has been changed through faith in the saving power of God and lastly a heart that... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

YOU HAVE ENOUGH FAITH

Matt 17:20
“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Mark 4:31-32
“It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.”

Have you ever prayed that God should increase your faith because you believe your faith is too small to get the job done? Let me encourage you today and say you have enough faith in you to get the job done, have your needs met, heal you of that infirmity. How can you say that you ask? I did not say it, Jesus said it. He said if you have faith as small as mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place. 

Jesus said, the mountain will move! He did not stop there, He went further to say something more incredulous to believe: He said, “and NOTHING shall be impossible unto you”. Now do you know the size of a mustard seed? It is said it is so small, hardly can it be seen with the naked eye. Now how small do you think your faith is? 

No matter how small, Jesus said even if it is so small that you hardly feel you have got it, with that size of faith if you will say to the mountain be removed, Jesus said it will move! Let me proffer some reasons why such faith will move mountains.

Firstly, because it is a faith that is rooted in God and is directed towards God. Secondly, it is because, the scripture says that when that mustard seed size faith is planted, it does not remain the same size, it grows and becomes greater than what it is planted against. 

That is when you put your mustard seed size faith against the mountain, it keeps growing until it becomes larger than the mountain, and that is when the mountain moves. But when you keep looking at the smallness of your  and because of its size you do not put it against anything, it remains small and never gets anything done.

DO NOT LET GO OF YOUR GRIP ON GOD

Hebrews 10:35-38

“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”

Let me interrupt the trend of our meditation in the past three days to bring this word of encouragement to you today. Do not let go of your grip on God. What is your grip on God, faith is your grip on God and as long as you have your grip tight God will deliver on His promises to you. Your faith is like a lifeline thrown to a drowning man from a boat. As long as he does not let go of the lifeline, he can be brought to shore but if he lets go of the lifeline, he will drown. You see God has already promised that He will not relax or lose His grip on you, so the onus is on you to keep holding on.

Heb 13:5

“…for He [God]  Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor  give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not,[I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor  let [you] down ( relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]”

I heard a man of God say that God told him that once we believe He(God) is obligated to perform. So no matter the pressure on the outside telling you to throw in the towel keep holding on because your faith is destined to end up with a good report. In our text for meditation, it says he that shall come shall come, though he tarry. This means it is inevitable that your faith in God will deliver, so don’t give up, don’t lose your grip on God. Your faith is your lifeline, your grip on God. Hold on to it and... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

INHERITING HEAVEN AND THE HEAVENLY

Hebrews 11:8-10

“By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” 

 I believe in using faith for material things, in fact, I believe we are to do that so we can train our faith also for spiritual things. If a man can use his faith to obtain a material blessing, he will understand that the same faith can be used to live a righteous and holy existence. This is the witness of the Hebrews Eleven heroes of faith. Their faith was not only used for material blessings but also to live righteously.

“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.” Hebrews 11:24-27

“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions…” Hebrews 11:32-33

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.  But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Hebrews 11:13-16

FAITH'S FOCUS

Hebrews 11:8-10

“By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”

For the first time I am seeing the focus of Abraham’s faith as he answered the call of God to leave his father’s house and moved from place to place, he was looking for a city whose builder and maker is God.  That city is heaven. This sounds like Hebrews 12:2

Hebrews 12:2

“… who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

This tells you the first focus of faith is heaven. Let me sound this loud and clear: THE FIRST FOCUS OF A LIFE OF FAITH IS HEAVEN.

Colossians 3:1-3 (Living Bible)

“Since you became alive again, so to speak, when Christ arose from the dead, now set your sights on the rich treasures and joys of heaven where he sits beside God in the place of honor and power.  Let heaven fill your thoughts; don't spend your time worrying about things down here. You should have as little desire for this world as a dead person does. Your real life is in heaven with Christ and God.”

SALVATION OF YOUR HOUSE

Hebrews 11:7

“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”

The next thing we see your faith in God does for you is that it prepares ground for the salvation of your house, or family. It was like Noah’s faith in God became like an ark prepared for the whole family to get in and be saved. God is a god of families, therefore, when one family member gets saved it opens up the whole family to God.

“And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:30,31

What I want you to understand today is that God through your faith in Him wants to get your whole family saved, therefore begin to believe God for every member of your family to come to the saving knowledge of Christ. What the jailor asked was for himself personally but Paul’s answer shows the mind of God, that He wants the whole family. 

So if your whole family is yet to know Jesus, know that the way is open for them already, so begin to believe them in one by one. Do not be satisfied until every member of your family has come to the saving knowledge of Christ.

Believe on the Lord today for the salvation of the souls of your household. Begin to take them one by one until the very last one is saved. If every member of your immediate family is saved, widen the circle and begin to believe for your extended family.

A CHANGED LIFE

Heb 11:5-6
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

The second thing we see a life of faith brought about is a “translation”.  Translation means a change or conversion to another form or appearance. This is what faith in God should bring about to the one who has it conversion to another form or appearance. This means that the evidence of one who has faith in God is a changed life. Change from being a sinner to being a saint, from being poor to being prosperous, from being in bondage to being free.

A changed life is the evidence of having faith in God, therefore where that is not present, then your faith in God should be questioned. It means when you meet with God or walk with God indeed you should experience a transformation. This is how you know whether people are just being religious or they have got a relationship with God. 

This was the experience of Enoch and this should be your experience too. In 1Samuel, we are told that after the Spirit of God came upon Saul after he was anointed king, it was said that “he was turned into another man.” 

Can it be said of you today that your faith in God has turned you into another person? Notice that it was said of...

WHAT FAITH BRINGS TO YOU

Hebrews 11:4 

“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.”

It is instructive to note that the first thing we see about the testimony of faith is that Abel obtained witness that he was righteous. I believe that is the very first thing that faith comes with to the life of the believer after hearing the gospel. This is also revealed in the passage below.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16,17

So the first thing that faith brings to you is righteousness, the righteousness of God. I want you to know that there is a righteousness which is of faith and that which is of works. That which is of works, the Bible says is like filthy rags before God. That which is of faith is imputed righteousness and it is imputed because you believe the Gospel not because you worked for it or earned it. It is a gift from God to you. 

This is the baseline upon which every other thing that faith brings your way stands. If you cannot accept to be made righteous by faith, it will be difficult for you to receive healing or any other blessing by faith. Therefore, you cannot claim to live by...

FAITH MAKES US ACT LIKE GOD

John 10:34-35

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.”

I said yesterday that faith makes us act like God. Well, the truth is that the believer is declared a god already by God and faith is one of the things that enable us act like Him. If not, what would you call Joshua asking sun and moon to stand still or Peter walking on water or various other examples like that in Scripture.

According to our text above, there is another thing that makes us function like God, it is the word of God. When you take the word of God and begin to speak it, angels, Satan, demons, circumstances and situations do not hear you, they hear God speaking and so they have to obey.

Ps 103:20
“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.”

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

With God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

All things are possible to him who believes. Mark 9:23

In these two passages, we find the same thing that is ascribed to God ascribed to him who believes, and that is, “all things are possible”. To ascribe the same thing to God and a believer, if not that it is clearly stated in the Bible, someone is likely to say that one is blaspheming or ascribing too much to oneself. 

But I am not the one who is ascribing it to the believer it is God Himself. But what does this means to you the believer living by faith? It means through faith, the things that are possible to God are equally possible to you, that believes. Yes, you heard me correctly. THROUGH FAITH, THE THINGS THAT ARE POSSIBLE TO GOD ARE EQUALLY POSSIBLE TO THE ONE WHO BELIEVES!

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12 KJV)

Faith is the channel that makes God’s possibilities available to us. Someone puts it this way: “faith makes us act like God”.

FAITH AND MARRIAGE

1 Corinthians 13:13

“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”

Marriage is a place you constantly apply faith, in other words you believe in God that brought you and your spouse together that He will keep you both together till either death part you or Jesus comes.

It is also the place where you constantly believe in your spouse. You have to constantly express faith in one another and to one another. 

It is a place that you have to learn to call things that be not in your spouse as though they were and also make confessions based on the word of God regarding whatever the circumstance that is present with you in your marriage.
