One of the most important things everyone standing for marriage restoration needs to understand is that NO MATTER what we believe, see, hear, think or do, God’s plan and purpose will ALWAYS prevail; because As Proverbs 21:30 assures us, There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD. So as we stand for the restoration of our marriages and families, it’s so important to study the word of God to determine exactly what HIS plan and purpose concerning marriage is. And based on Malachi 2, Genesis 2:23-24, Matthew 19:4-6 and many other passages of scripture, we know that GOD’S plan and purpose for marriage does NOT include divorce and that from the very beginning God created marriage to be a life long covenant relationship! And no matter how much man wants to believe otherwise; no matter what else anyone else tries to convince us or themselves the Bible says, we know that God DOES NOT CHANGE, AND NEITHER HAS HIS PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR MARRIAGE! Numbers 23:19 very clearly says God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? And Malachi 3:6 says “I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. And finally, Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. And when we understand God’s plan and purpose for marriage and how much He hates divorce, we’re sure to be blessed and encouraged by Bayless Conley’s message about God’s purpose, which was shared by one of the FAM Fellowship members on the private site yesterday for encouragement.
