12 BAD FAMILIES IN THE BIBLE / 12 REASONS YOU OUGHT TO BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR BAD MARRIAGE

12 BAD FAMILIES IN THE BIBLE — HOW TO BE GENUINELY THANKFUL FOR YOUR BAD MARRIAGE #4 — YOU CAN BE GENUINELY THANKFUL FOR ALL BAD FAMILY SITUATIONS BECAUSE ALL BAD FAMILY SITUATIONS ARE FOR THE GOOD (PART 12) HOW TO BE GENUINELY THANKFUL FOR BAD THINGS #41 WITH PASTOR DANIEL WHYTE III GOSPEL LIGHT HOUSE OF PRAYER INTERNATIONAL THANKSGIVING SERIES

 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

-I THESSALONIANS 5:18

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

–ROMANS 8:28

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

-ECCLESIASTES  4:9-12

12 BAD FAMILIES IN THE BIBLE

1. ADAM AND EVE-  SIN ENTERING IN; SON KILLED HIS BROTHER

2. NOAH AND HIS FAMILY  — SON DISHONORED HIS FATHER

3. ABRAHAM AND SARAH — LYING AND DOUBT

4. LOT AND HIS FAMILY — WIFE TURNS INTO PILLAR OF SALT; INCEST

5. ISAAC AND REBEKAH – OBVIOUSLY LOVED EACH OTHER STARTING OUT, BUT LYING  AND DECEPTION MADE THEM HAVE A BAD MARRIAGE

6. JACOB AND RACHEL AND LEAH AND HIS FAMILY

7. MOSES AND HIS WIFE ZIPPORAH

8. ELI AND HIS SONS

9. SAMUEL AND HIS SONS

10. DAVID AND HIS FAMILY

11. AHAB AND JEZEBEL

12. ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA

*** THE GOOD OUT OF ALL OF THIS IS THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME THROUGH MOST OF THESE BAD FAMILIES

12 REASONS YOU OUGHT TO BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR BAD MARRIAGE

1. THANK GOD SOMEBODY WAS WILLING TO MARRY YOU

2. THANK GOD YOU ARE NOT LONELY

3. THANK GOD FOR THE PLEASURABLE BLESSING OF SEX

4. THANK GOD FOR THE BLESSING OF CHILDREN

5. THANK GOD FOR THE KNOWLEDGE THAT TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE

6. IT IS NOT TRUE THAT YOU CAN DO BAD ALL BY YOURSELF. YOU CAN DO BETTER WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, EVEN IF THE MARRIAGE IS BAD. BY THE WAY, YOU CAN DO BAD BETTER WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.

7. THE BIBLE TELLS US “IRON SHARPENETH IRON” AND THE BEST IRON IN THE WORLD IS A SPOUSE. NOBODY CAN FILE DOWN THE ROUGH EDGES OF YOUR LIFE BETTER THAN A SPOUSE.

8. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, IT IS BETTER TO HAVE A FATHER AND MOTHER IN THE HOME, CONTRARY TO WOKEISM. IT IS BETTER  TO HAVE SOME HELP IN RAISING CHILDREN THAN NO HELP.

9. GOD MADE US FOR COMMUNITY AND NO COMMUNITY LIKE FAMILY COMMUNITY CAN BRING OUT THE BEST IN YOU AND THE WORST IN YOU.

10. NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU BETTER FOR LEADERSHIP THAN A BAD MARRIAGE.

11. PEOPLE TRUST YOU MORE WHEN THEY KNOW YOU ARE MARRIED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE MARRIED TO YOUR ONE AND ONLY SPOUSE.

12. GOD OFTEN USES MARRIAGE AS A TEST, AND IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH A MARRIAGE, ESPECIALLY A BAD MARRIAGE, YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH ANYTHING.

** MARRIAGE IS SO POWERFUL AND SO IMPORTANT IN GOD’S SIGHT THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE SAVED AND YOUR SPOUSE IS NOT, IN GOD’S SIGHT IT IS NOT A DEAL BREAKER IF THE SPOUSE WANTS TO STAY.

** IF YOU CANNOT BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR BAD MARRIAGE RIGHT NOW, THEN YOU WOULD NOT BE THANKFUL FOR A GOOD MARRIAGE.

** AS A MAN WITH MANY DAUGHTERS, I WANT TO SEE AND LOVE TO SEE WOMEN HAPPY AND PURPOSEFUL IN THEIR LIVES, BUT JUST LIKE A MAN, THEY MUST GET THEIR HAPPINESS AND PURPOSE FROM THE LORD AND NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WORD OF GOD AND THE MAN’S MANHOOD AND AUTHORITY IN HIS WIFE’S LIFE.

** IF YOU ARE AN INTROVERTED WOMAN OR MAN, AND YOU ARE CONTENT AND HAPPY WITH THE LORD BY YOURSELF AND YOU DO NOT DESIRE SEX WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX OR SAME SEX AND YOU DO NOT DESIRE TO BE A PARENT, THEN YOU NEED TO PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER REMAINING SINGLE.

** YOUR MARRIAGE CAN BE MADE INSTANTLY BETTER IF BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE CHOOSE TO OBEY EPHESIANS 5 AND 6. WHAT MOST PEOPLE MEAN WHEN THEY SAY COMPROMISE IN MARRIAGE COUNSELING  IS THEY WANT THE HUSBAND TO COMPROMISE THE WORD OF GOD AND SUBMIT TO THE WIFE. THEY NEVER WANT THE WIFE TO COMPROMISE AND SUBMIT TO THE HUSBAND. I TELL HUSBANDS TO NEVER, NEVER, NEVER COMPROMISE ON THE WORD OF GOD OR ON WHAT YOU WANT DONE. IT IS NOT GOING TO MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE OR FAMILY BETTER

** BE THANKFUL YOU’RE GETTING SOME GOOD OUT OF YOUR BAD MARRIAGE

**THE WIFE SHOULD SUE FOR PEACE SAKE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE WIFE SHOULD BE THE ONE SAYING I JUST DON’T SAY ANYTHING TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT WHAT I DISAGREE WITH HIM ON TO KEEP THE PEACE IN OUR MARRIAGE, NOT THE HUSBAND.

** THE DEVIL AND THE WOKE WORLD WANT THE WOMAN TO REBEL IN THE HOME SO THEY CAN DOMINATE THE WORLD

** MARTIN CRANE — “SEATTLE IS LIKE A WOMAN; WHETHER THE HUSBAND IS RIGHT OR WRONG HE NEEDS TO ADMIT HE IS WRONG AND APOLOGIZE OTHERWISE HE IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.”

** HAPPY THANKSGIVING THURSDAY! “REJOICE EVERMORE. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. IN EVERY THING GIVE THANKS: FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU” (1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18) HOW TO GENUINELY BE THANKFUL FOR BAD THINGS. BEING THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL FOR BAD THINGS IS A VERY LIBERATING AND FREEING EXPERIENCE. YOU OUGHT TO TRY IT BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW BAD THE SITUATION IS, IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND YOU NEED TO BE THANKFUL TO GOD FOR WHATEVER IT IS  AND PRAY TO HIM TO MAKE IT BETTER, IF IT BE HIS WILL AS SOMETIMES IT IS NOT GOD’S WILL TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR US BECAUSE OF REASONS ONLY KNOWN TO HIM. GLORY BE TO GOD ANYHOW!

IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: HEAVEN OR HELL? IF YOU’RE NOT SURE, “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED” FOR JESUS CHRIST SAID THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS EVER SPOKEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WHEN HE SAID, “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.”
