Book Cover & Preview Text
There is a corporate anointing (grace, divine enablement) given to marriage by God to carry out a corporate mandate. This mandate is one of dominion thus filling the earth with a God-infused, God-inspired race. The two becoming one is meant to operate in the principle of being in one accord having one mind, one heart; though each is unique and productive in his or her own right; yet they find greater purpose and functionality in the WHOLE. For those who are married or intend to get married, you must understand and embrace this principle. Marriage is much more that companionship and definitely more than sexual pleasure. It is very important that the bigger picture of God’s purpose for marriage be seen and allowed to define our marriage relationship or else when the heat rises we will easily succumb to our desire and eventually join the divorce check-out line. The two persons and by this I am referring to husband and wife, male and female (just to be clear), in a marriage must understand who they are and why they exist and were placed together by God. Once this is understood, they become a force that cannot be easily overcome. Such a union, according to Genesis 1:28, is blessed by God and is correctly positioned for increase, expansion, victory and dominion. They understand that their union is a reflection of the image and likeness of the Godhead. They understand that they are God’s royal priesthood in the earth therefore, as His representation they cannot be caught up in themselves when they have been charged with a mandate to the earth. They understand that as God’s representatives, they stand in the gap, fully representing creation including each other before God and they recognize the devil’s devises to divide and conquer them. They see each other through the eyes of God. Such a marriage cannot fail because it is equipped with all that’s necessary for success.
