CONTENDING WITH YOUR MARITAL DESTINY

·1 hr 23 min·5 clips

Rev Elijah Ben explains how acquiring tastes for certain foods mirrors the dangerous patterns of choosing partners based on worldly standards.

Rev Elijah Ben opens the episode with a prayer, setting the context for discussing marriages whether single, married, or hoping to remarry. He delves into Genesis, explaining that Adam was formed first and received God's instructions, making him less susceptible to deception than Eve. This leads to a key point: lacking God's word makes one a target for the devil. The teaching emphasizes that marriage choice is personal, based on the word of God within, not prophetic confirmation. Rev Elijah uses extended analogies, comparing choosing a partner to acquiring tastes for foods like ketchup or salad, warning that premarital sex creates tastes that conflict with marital fidelity. He critiques worldly standards like Valentine's Day and physical attraction, humorously noting that bodies change with gravity. The episode addresses practical issues, such as covetousness leading to poor choices, illustrated by a story of a woman marrying a Muslim man for his car. Rev Elijah lists biblical marriages like Abraham and Sarah or Hosea and Gomer, noting their problems as examples. He urges listeners to renew their minds through consistent engagement with teachings like his podcast, not just occasional sermons. The latter half shifts to prayer, contending against evil patterns from family backgrounds, spiritual marriages to demons, and attitudes that attract demons. The prayer session includes declarations of fire against these forces and blessings for marital destiny, ending with a call for self-blessing and thanksgiving.
