The Commission

“Son, I have not called you to build a church (denomination),But to build churches. The ministry I gave to you is not for a group of people, but for the entire body of Christ… I have sent you forth to set free the captives through prayers and the teaching of My Word”… “Son the time has come to rise up and do what I sent you, see my church has forsaken me the fountain of LIVINGWATERS… go wake up My Church in your generation, my word of power is in your mouth, saith the Lord”

Preface

“Since divorce is only a concession to man’s sin

And is not part of God’s original plan for marriage,

All believers should hate divorce as God does.”

The issue of Divorce and Re-Marriage is so difficult, nuanced, and emotional. There are a couple challenges that make teaching on Divorce and Re-Marriage especially difficult. One challenge is that there are so many legitimate approaches I could take with this teaching.

I could make the teaching a warning: “Marriage is sacred. Remember your vows. Jesus never encouraged divorce. So don’t do it.” I could legitimately teach this way because the weight of the New Testament falls on the side of warning against divorce. But I could also use the teaching to talk about God’s compassion for those who have been hurt in marriage, or those left behind in marriage, or those sinned against in marriage. I could also take more of a theological approach and try to explain the acceptable grounds for divorce and remarriage, asking questions like: Are there any justifiable reasons for divorce? If so, what are they? And if you may get divorced under certain circumstances, what about remarriage?

The other challenge in teaching this topic is that there are so many unique scenarios that don’t lend themselves to easy answers. Many of you will read this book not simply for theological information, but you’ll be reading to see if I think God thinks your divorce was acceptable, or whether your parents’ remarriage was appropriate, or whether you are free to remarry now that you are divorced. There are so many intricate, specific situations that I can’t possibly write about them. These situations require tremendous wisdom because it’s not always clear what is the correct counsel.

There are as many scenarios as there are couples in the world. How do we know what’s right in each situation, especially when so many of the scenarios have no parallel in Scripture? The simple thing is to turn a blind eye to divorce in the church. Just pretend it doesn’t happen. Don’t ask people about it. Don’t bring it up. Don’t say anything during a membership interview. That has been the stance many pastors have towards the issue over the years. But when my beloved sister, Apostle Leina’ala Mars asked me to do a teaching on it, I was scared not to hurt the feelings of some people but I decided to go ahead with this teaching dealing with it scripturally, dispensational and spiritually. The hard thing is to take a few biblical principles about marriage, divorce, and remarriage and then try to
