MARRIAGE-A COVENANT OF EXCHANGE # 02

Shabbat shalom dearly beloved

“Praise the LORD!  How blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.  His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.   Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.” Psalms 112:1-3

The following Message has been given to me by the Holy Spirit at our 4 AM early morning prayers. This Message came down with great power and a sense of imminent urgency. Satan has been succeeding in destroying countless of families. The onslaught on marriages in the Body of Y’shua is huge! It is time to STOP the plague and HUSBANDS ARE THE KEY!

When it comes to the release of the Blessing in the family we need to realize that MEN are the SOURCE. If a man is walking in righteousness before YHVH, his wife will be blessed, his children will be blessed and  his finances will be blessed. YHVH designed the Blessing to be available to those men that truly seek Him with all of their hearts! Lukewarm, irresponsible men affect their families greatly. In fact my experience and Biblical examples show me that even if the wife is the most anointed and righteous lady in town, she will still not experience the full blessing or bliss if her husband is in disobedience to the Almighty. If you are frustrated because of lack of provision or blessing, the answer is in the MAN, in the husband. Husbands are called to task to RETURN to the true foundations of faith and to find favor in YHVH’s eyes. He has set man to be RESPONSIBLE for the wellbeing of their families.  Not by being dictators and manipulating their wives, nor by demanding that she change, bUT by changing THEMSELVES into the image and likeness of Y’shua. A man that is willing to work at changing himself and to please YHVH in all of his ways, will find that his change provokes changes in his wife and children.

“They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.  Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"   Genesis 3: 8-9

When it comes to responsibility in a couple, Elohim ALWAYS turns to the man FIRST. Though the Woman sinned and tempted her husband, yet Adonai saw Adam as the first one to be responsible for the wellbeing of his wife. What could Adam have done?  BE PRESENT! That is right! Adam was ABSENT spiritually just as many men have relinquished all “spiritual stuff” to their wives! They expect their wives to pray, to seek YAH, to be righteous in His eyes, while they “laze about” in the spirit being ABSENT and allowing satan to come to steal, kill and destroy. Had Adam been PRESENT, the snake would have had no chance! Men for the most part are absent in prayer meetings and are absent from the Presence of YHVH, because they are lazy in the spirit, co-dependent on their wives and do not seek Him. Consequently they hear and listen to NO instructions from Him, and they walk in the flesh and not in the Spirit. Then they wonder why their wives are not honoring them! Adam was so absent that the first question that Elohim asked Adam after they sinned is: ADAM WHERE ARE YOU? Why have you been absent and have not supervised your garden. I gave this Garden to YOU and it is YOUR responsibility for this garden to be kept in holiness and Shalom. The answer of Adam has set the tone for entire generations of cowardly men that have always shoved the responsibility to their wives: “The Woman that YOU gave me, he answered”
“And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"  The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate." Genesis 3:11-12

Are you in the category of Coward Adam that put all the responsibility on his wife? If so, you are in deception and the blessing will never reach you! Not until you put YOURSELF in order, repent of being lukewarm, absent, irresponsible and full of excuses! Have you been blaming your wife? You are in deception again for YAH will and is NOW calling you to urgent accountability! Society is as good as the MEN in it, and YES it starts with MEN. That is why He manifested the male first and He gave him His Commandments, then the Woman was manifested. Women are responsible before YAH but only SECOND. The FIRST one responsible is ALWAYS the husband. In the same way that the President of the company is responsible for it’s functioning. Though we are co-heirs of the gift of life, there is a clear and marked order: Men are responsible FIRST!

If things are not working well in your family, it is time for you to humble yourself and go before the Family Doctor, the Holy Spirit and ask Him:

And after you courageously hear what YAH has to say to you,-then ask Him:

Husbands, STOP trying to change your wife and children.  Rather CHANGE YOURSELVES and your wife and children will follow.  Then the Blessing will be a permanent tenant in your family! You will find out that what your wife has been complaining about for years is EXACTLY where you need to humble yourself and change!

“For the husband is the head of the wife, as the Messiah also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.” Ephesians 5:23

In the above scripture husbands are called Head of the Wife. In his case this word means “the source” like the head of a river. It has nothing to do with “putting women down” or squelching their talents to “show them who is the boss”. It rather implies that IF the husband walks UNDER the Headship of Messiah, in obedience to Him, he is The Source of the Blessing to his wife and consequently to his children. The hour has come for men EVERYWHERE to arise from stupor, slumber and excuses and to take their Position as the Source of the Blessing! Something is terribly wrong for the Church to be competing with the world in the divorce rate and family problems. I believe that the humanistic confusion of the world has inundated the 21st century Church. This is a terminal cancer and URGENT THERAPY is needed! It is time to return to the original Biblical foundations of faith.

“Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” 1 Timothy 2:8

This heavenly strategy for the RESCUE of countless of marriages on the verge of divorce in the Body of Y’shua.  It is as old as the Holy Book and as new as the sun this morning. It is the amazing, all powerful strategy of PRAYER. Men praying EVERYWHERE! But notice that you are called to pray lifting holy hands without wrath or doubting. In other words men are called to get rid of all anger and bitterness. Many men that I have encountered have unresolved anger issues. Many are angry with Elohim, with their wives, with their boss and with themselves! It is time to forgive, (Yes! Even yourself!,) and to lift up holy hands in prayer, declaring the Word of Faith, being willing to be confronted with sin in order to forsake it! Adam escaped the Presence of YHVH instead of facing Him courageously in humility and repentance. So many men are escaping Yah’s Presence and keep themselves blocked with sin and sinful attitudes of failure and defeat! Beloved men you are called URGENTLY into His Presence. It was there between the Cherubim that He spoke to Moses and gave him instructions how to lead Israel. It is there that He will empower you to fulfill your heavenly calling to be a Righteous Man and an able and loving husband. You are not able to do this on your own! Society is falling apart for people think that with enough “self development” they can be “God”!

"There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.”   Exodus 25:22

Many marriages are on the verge of divorce and we have no time to waste! Men running to the Presence of Y’shua are the hidden weapon in Messiah’s hands to defeat the enemy that has planned to destroy the very fiber of society by destroying marriages!  Satan’s strategy has been to keep men in bondage to childishness, selfishness, shame, pouting, pride, bitterness, rebellion, excuses, lukewarm walk, FEAR and failure. If you are one of those deceived men, this Message is your rope to come out of the “hole” of your own self pity and victimization. Listen!  YOUR FAMILY is about to be destroyed and you have allowed it, you have been playing in the devil’s territory waiting for your wife to be “spiritual enough” to rescue you and she can’t!  The moment that men arise to PRAY, to seek YHVH with all of their hearts, the moment that they become empowered and anointed, the devil will run out in defeat! And then husbands and wives TOGETHER will give that snake a kick in the right direction! BUT MEN FIRST!

IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THE STRATEGY!
I am tired of hearing messages on how women need to put up with their sinful husbands that do not pray or seek Yah! Very seldom we hear a message directed at men to change.  It is time to change the strategy as it does not work! Most of the preaching is directed to women, to be “submissive” to rebellious and even abusive husbands, or to have patience with childish husbands! As if the women are the number one responsible for the wellbeing of their families! No wonder that things are in disorder! If we demand for women to change, to be submissive, to pray, to endure with their lukewarm husbands, then women are in charge, not men! If we demand from men to change, to be submissive to Elohim, to pray, to seek YHVH, then the message is: You are in charge because you are responsible! You see authority is a direct byproduct of taking responsibility not of forceful control! True spiritual authority is clear for all to feel and see. Men are called to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and to change!

HUSBANDS: PRAY THE FOLLOWING PRAYER IN ORDER TO START THE PROCESS
Dear Heavenly father, forgive me for not taking the responsibility for the wellbeing of my wife and family. I realize that I have allowed fear to paralyze me and I have used it as an excuse. Please have mercy on me and help me to arise as your Man and to become the Source of the Blessing for my wife and children. In Y’shua’s name. Amen

CONFESS THE FOLLOWING
Thank you Father that I have been created in Your image and likeness. I am a man full of Godly self confidence. I can do all things through Messiah who strengthens me. You have equipped me with every spiritual and natural talent in order to be the Source of the Blessing for my wife and children. I take full responsibility as the head of my wife for her wellbeing.  I listen to her complaints and am willing to change wherever it’s pertinent. I have been born to be a leader and to be an example of Godliness in this society. I am a great provider of both spiritual and earthly riches. I am well able to accomplish this task because you are with me; Thank you Y’shua that I follow your example of obedience and dependency on my Heavenly Father. Amen

“How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers!  But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.   He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.  For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.” Psalms 1
