James 3:16 “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”
God so desires to bless the Church today. But he cannot do it, because our marriages are not right.
There’s so much fussing and fighting, so much turmoil, so much violence and strife in people’s homes – and it’s hindering their blessings!
Until will get our marriages right, even our finances can’t be right.
Listen, you have to decide whether you want your marriage to work, or whether you want to keep hurting your marriage with quarreling and fighting. You’re hurting yourself, your joy, your own peace!
It’s time to quit damaging our relationships!
It’s time to quit sabotaging our homes!
It’s time to quit giving place to the devil in our marriages!
God’s desire for your marriage is for it to be for you, a land flowing with milk and honey, not a battle ground…Deuteronomy 8:7-13;

How will that be possible if you continually make your marriage a battle ground?
