Women who leave home

(2 Timothy 3:1-7)
Women who leave their husbands, and too often....their children. Without a
doubt the most powerful evidence to me personally that we are living in the
last days as described in Paul's second letter to his young disciple
Timothy, is women who not just leave their husbands, but their children. I
am not sure if there is a greater example of the
last days than when a woman not just breaks her marriage vows to God and her
husband, but leaves without her children. The natural bond and love of a
mother and her children is one of the strongest bonds there is. For that
bond to be broken by so many is a sad reality of the world we live in today
and further evidence that Jesus is coming very soon.
Fifty years ago, it was predominantly men who left the marriage. It was men
who cheated on their wives, got blinded by sin, and with their hearts and
consciences seared, left their wife and children. Just 50 short years
later, it is pretty much 50/50 now between men and women in leaving their
spouse. There are lots of contributing factors to women becoming caught up
in the same sins and bondages that in the past mostly men were involved in.
A HUGE factor is the women's movement starting in the mid 60's. God's Word
clearly teaches that men and women are 50/50 partners with different roles
to fulfill. The great lie of the women's movement is that men and women
must be equal in every way. I hate to break this to the feminists, but you
can burn your bra, put on a pair of jeans, work construction, and it will
never make you a man! God made men and women different in every way.
With women being brainwashed that they had to work, that staying home and
being a wife to her husband and a mom to her kids was no longer acceptable,
women began to fall into the same traps men fall into. Their career became
their first priority. They began chasing the almighty dollar, putting their
job ahead of everything else in their life including their marriage and
children. They got caught up in all the sin traps inherent in the workplace
like office romances and adulterous affairs. Sadly, women were now equal
with men, but not in a positive way. Work and money became their god,
marriage and family lost its importance, and sexual sin was always available
and accessible.
The other lie women have been fed these past 40 years has been that they no
longer need a man in their life. Since they have a career, they don't need
a man to provide for them financially. They can still have children, but
can raise them just fine without a father. There are plenty of men out
there who are willing to satisfy them sexually, though another woman is just
as good. So in this new age of being a woman, a man is seen as more of a
hassle, more of an inconvenience than a lifetime partner through this
journey.
We now have a third generation of women growing up with this as the
prevailing mindset. Sadly, many in the last two generations grew up with
mothers who bought into these lies that are reinforced daily by the secular
media, and they grew up in an environment where they didn't know anything
else. They never were taught the Biblical roles for men and women and have
only known these lies the world has fed to them, accepting the lies as the
truth (another big sign of the last days). Of course, that also means we
are now into our third generation of men who also were never taught the
Biblical roles of men and women, and they too have bought these lies as the
truth. Through all of this we have a lack of understanding by men and women
on what their Biblical roles are, and a total meltdown of God's holy
institution of marriage and the family.
Sadly, women now leave their husbands with the same lame
excuses men have used for so long, "I don't love you any more," "I need
space and need to be alone for a while," "I still love you, but not in the
same way," "I feel trapped and have to find myself," "I am leaving, I need
to do this for me," "I am not happy, and I deserve to be happy," and on and
on and on the excuses to leave their husbands go. Oh, and in the background
you have the talk show hosts of the world leading the cheers to the divorce court,
"You go girlfriend, you tell that man. Kick him to the curb, you don't need
a man." Divorce is a sin and is never part of God's plan.
For the women reading this today, please, don't fall for this lie of satan
that your life will be better by leaving your husband and family. THE DEVIL
IS A LIAR! Your life will not be better, it will be worse. It will not be
blessed, it will be cursed! God is not going to bless sin my friend. The
reality is, the same time and energy, and emotions, and feelings you will
have to put into another man, will reap blessings if you put them into
your husband! That is why leaving your husband is so foolish. A new
relationship
is always fresh and exciting, but after some time passes, you realize that
there are just as many problems, just as many issues as you had before.
Marriage takes work! That is why you see people getting married 3, 4, 5, 6
times and more. When the honeymoon is over, they aren't willing to put
forth the effort a marriage requires.
Marriage is a serious commitment, a lifetime commitment. Please, take the
time to build a solid spiritual foundation with the man you plan to marry
over as much time as is necessary to clearly hear from God many times that
this is the one, this is His plan for you life. It is that spiritual
foundation that will sustain you both over the many years of marriage,
through the good times as well as the difficult times all marriages
encounter. God will bless your marriage as you keep Him at the center of
your lives together. As you honor your vows to God, God will honor you.
I am praying for the women out there
today to realize that society, our culture has lied to you. You don't need
to go to work to be "equal with a man." YOU ALREADY ARE! God made men and
women equal! They simply have different roles to perform. Your number one
role, like it is for a man, is to serve and glorify God with your life. You
do that by fulfilling your Biblical role of being a mother to your children,
a helpmate to your husband. As I have stated in the past, women, your #1
ministry during your life will always be in raising your children in the
admonition of the Lord! God has created women uniquely different from men
to be able to do things men can never properly or naturally do, just like
God has uniquely created men to be able to do things a woman can never
properly or naturally do.
For those men out there who are currently dealing with a wife who has left
you, you are not responsible for her choices. God gave us each free will
and only He can change your wife's heart. Now is the time to make your
faith real and learn to trust God
during this difficult time. Find your peace, and hope, and strength in Him
each day. I will be praying for your wife to turn her heart and life
completely back to the Lord and to you and your marriage. God is still a
God of restoration!
I will be praying today for those women who have bought into this lie to
leave your marriage, to repent, ask God's forgiveness, go to your husband
and ask his forgiveness, and get your life back together. For you men,
don't give up on your marriage. I am praying for His strength in your life
today. I am praying specifically today for marriages that need God's
healing touch. I refuse to simply allow these marriages we hear from day
after day become statistics satan can gloat over. I am believing God for
these marriages to be restored as a trophy of His grace for His glory!
Women, rise up and be the women of God He has called you to be as a daughter
of the Lord Jesus Christ, a Proverbs 31 wife, and a Godly mother to your
children!
