I had a beautiful 50 yr marriage with a Godly man. When he passed away I told God, "This hurts too much, he was my everything!" And clear as a bell, I heard my Savior's voice say, "No, my child. I AM YOUR EVERYTHING!!" And I fell to my knees & asked forgiveness. I've had good days, & dark days, & when I'm at my weakest, I tell Him, "I don't feel you, but I know you're there." And instantly He makes His presence known. HALLELUJAH!! 🙌✝️🙌
The Lord protected me from getting married to my first girlfriend. We are on good terms and had a good godly relationship, but it became the biggest idol in my life. All my satisfaction and joy and desire came from that relationship. In the midst of it I could not see what the Lord was doing as we broke up twice and I tried getting back together with her a third time, but looking back I see that He lovingly withheld something from me because He cared more about my heart than my selfish desires. The Lord was gracious to discipline me as His son.
Powerful. I’m in the same boat, we’re trying to reconcile now but she isn’t a believer and i personally have a knot in chest, and stomach anytime I try to feel the way I used to about her, it’s like Mr feelings are so indifferent now o just want us to work but can’t pull myself to put a ring on it or to commit
@@dunn1375 Brother if she is not a believer then the Scripture is clear that you should not be with this person. Please read 2 Corinthians 6:14. I think the Lord is keeping you from committing because it is not in His will for you to be together.

Brother I'm in that exact same situation right now. It's hard to hear, but dang. This video really is a slap in the face of reality. Something I already knew, but have a hard time admitting to myself. Love is a crazy thing, and I guess it's just misdirected. Oriented towards the creature and not the Creator.
Marriage is like an Oreo cookie, the two cookie parts are the husband and wife and God is the creme that holds the couple together, if you don’t have God in the middle the two cookie parts cannot peacefully stay together.
I’ve heard marriage is like gluing two papers together. Divorce is the result of tearing those papers apart which get ruined and ripped in the process.
God is the cream. The husband and wife are the two cookies. THE wife can't share the cream with God. He is God alone. Ijs. I don't mean any harm. But good analogy
Wow! I just got a "hard truth" about my family - i have been an idolator😨😳🫣🤮 I confess it as sin to the Most High God, ask forgiveness, repent and ask for direction.... ty bro Voddie! Whoa! hit by a hard "truth bomb" 💣 ......
This was my mistakes and I got myself into two times divorces, because I thought I couldn’t serve God without been married. And then As a preacher. I made the wrong choices but has forgiven me. Please don’t let the devil deceive you out there. God first. My story is huge. I truly love Jesus still standing because He loves me
As someone who's single, this has been a hard one for me. Please pray that God would help me through this. It's very easy to under or over value it being what it is. We just need to remember our first Love.
If you were to deal with the reality of marriage your fantasies would suddenly all dissapear and you'll be cured of that idolatry really quick the first time you have to deal with conflict.
No offense, but I think you missed my point. I tend to flip flop. It's either something I focus too much on, or something not worth the effort at all. I have baggage that the average person wouldn't understand, not more just different. I'd rather not get into it, and honestly the last attempt blew up in my face. I'm still wrestling with bitterness towards woman. Please just pray for me.
Amen 🙏 Sadly , people associate themselves with being “fulfilled “ by a spouse or children. And oftentimes will speak negatively to those that choose not to marry or have kids and spend time with the Lord. This was a very good message!
This has been a hard decision for me , I don’t want to get trapped in a fairy tale and let it become an idol . I have come a long way to stand where I am with God ❤
Dr.Voddie is the best I've heard preach the Gospel he is extremely in tune with GOD Wisdom flows from his teachings almost effortlessly I Love Him Indeed🙏✝️
@GeorgeHernandez-wq2rrNo amen? that sounds somewhat Blasphemous itself!! Don't assume anything He hasn't spoken..GOD comes 1st over every & all wasn't Abraham willing to sacrifice his very own seed bc the AL'MIGHTY said so?!.. that's all he is shortly speaking of.. work on your listing& thinking skills a bit Brother
What the heck are you even talking about?! 😂 It’s like if I said, “I like root beer”, and you responded with, “yup model trains are super cool.” He’s saying God should fulfill you never your spouse not even a Christian one. He didn’t mention being unequally yoked. That’s a whole other sermon!! 🤣
REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND TURN FROM SIN AND TURN TOWARDS RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON AND WE MUST BE READY FOR WHEN HE COMES BACK
Wow this is something we don’t think about because we are so wrapped up in the person we are with. Even if we are praying together we miss the fact that our hearts are secretly and REALLY putting that person first… I also got a revelation listening to this. We need to be about the Lords business first (Seek the Kingdom first ). He knows the desires of our hearts. While we are working he will bring that partner ( husband or wife to be ) into our lives that will ADD to the work for the kingdom . Remember he sends them out by TWO”S. He will pair us up together being likeminded with a similar work to work together . One heart, mind, in Christ for the Kingdom and His Glory … those who are equally yoked WILL RAISE GODLY SEED to grow and do a work for the Kingdom as well… I wish i knew all this when i was younger. Take NOTE young disciples out there
amen....let a real preacher & man of God speak the truth of God with Authority like its supposed to be spoken! amen. took a long time for me to accept this concept of christ is my entire fulfillment regardless of earthly things..but I can say at 4 Years single and much better than before...this is so true
I needed to hear this today. When things get hard and I wonder “Did I make the right decision?” God made this decision and I will live by it unless he wants otherwise . I can only find my fulfillment in the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 🙏
He is right here. I used to like Voddie, but he said that if you are already divorced and remarried to remain in the remarriage when that is against the Scriptures on repenting and forsaking adultery. Has he changed recently?
1 Corinthians 7:13-15 is probably what he is referring to. This scripture is in the case of a believer and a non believer married and the decision to stay or leave. Across the board God hates divorce and frowns on divorce for just any old reason. That's my understanding, I have never gone through it before.
I was unequally yoked in my marriage and my husband committed adultery I decided to walk away and file for divorce I have repented for not taking heed to God's word about not marrying outside of my faith in Christ hard and painful lesson learned.
@adirafearsjesus7778 That's actually false it gives permission to divorce under 3 circumstances. The spouse has an affair, an unbelieving spouse leaves you or your spouse dies. It only says don't remarry if you guys divorced for outside of those 3 reasons.
Exactly! That explains why I get bothered when people say things like their children, grandchildren, spouse, etc. are their world, their everything. Jesus is my everything! The only One who I cannot live without ❤❤❤ (one for The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. My All in All!
Your missing the point. God should be number one for everything. You can still be married and have children but don't idolize them as if you are nothing without them. We are nothing without God
I’ve seen many many voddie and other videos like it, and this one right here hits hard, right down to the core…because I have been asking what my next career path would be, what would make me happy, what would fulfill me.
Voddie's preaching on the permanence of marriage is SORELY needed in the body of Christ who have been led astray by worldly wisdom that has not only corrupted their own sanctification but also their ability to be a sanctifying influence on the world. Marriage is a demanding ministry. As Peter said, "perhaps it is better not to marry?" Better to be alone, that together in sin.
I believe what you’re saying is true…but explain why Adam NEEDED another,a helpmate,a wife…and asked for for exactly that if he didn’t need some extra sense of “fulfillment “?!?!?!
I always thought that especially to those people who say I was born to sing, dance, cook etc. I used to say uh uh wait a minute that's not what the word says!
That's very true, God is love, is not just words written on paper, true love is the first love, Emmanuel, he made man upright in his image and only he can fill that void, just like he moved upon the face of the waters in the beginning.
And we are Commanded to be fruitful and multiply - it's not an option. Of course we have to love God more than our spouse and ourselves - but that's not saying you can't find fulfillment in marriage! I have to disagree with voddie on this.
@@bobdalton2062I think you missed the point. He never spoke against marriage. The point is not to look for that person to fulfill you rather than God. Anyone or anything we put before God can become an idol.
Not everyone is “wired” for marriage. Church culture has made marriage into the supreme pinnacle of human existence, when scripture says no such thing. In fact Paul says he who does not marry does better than he who marries. Look at ALL the positive affirmations of staying single in the seventh chapter of his first letter to the church at Corinth.
Seems that God’s 1st mention was for the woman to be a helpmeet for the man. Here in the latter days this is being turned around completely and some women actually fighting against their man.
Wow! I was feeling down because my wife abandoned me and our two kids on July 1, 2023. I was like man this sucks I can’t believe it I fought for our marriage but she wanted “freedom” and chose her new family. I had this hope inside of me that God would restore my marriage. Then that God would bring me a new better wife because if I’m being honest my wife was horrible. She didn’t cook, clean, had no maternal instincts, and the list goes on. Regardless I started saying you know what? A fresh start doesn’t sound that bad. Then I got convicted that I’m still married and until the divorce is finalized I need to fight for my cheating wife that abandoned our family by prayer because her soul is in danger. Then I started thinking well maybe we can work through her affair and abandonment and we could have a testimony. He’s right though! I’m so stressed and down not because of anything that even matters! I’m an amazing father and I was an excellent husband and I loved those titles. However that should never have been what fulfilled me! I should be fine even if I have nothing as long as I have God.
Good bless you , I’m going thru something similar w my husband .pray for their souls. The lord knew of this day before we were even born. Psalm 139:16❤️ in Gods providence He uses natural things that happen in our fallen lives to bring Him glory!
As her covering, even though she operated in sin you put yourself up on a pedestal and her down to the ground. God said love covers a multitude of sins. While you can’t change her change how you condemn her. Why? Bc God says pray for those who despitefully use us. We have to speak His word not our feelings. My mom did the same to us. It was Christ that showed me to stop bashing her to others so they could see His work in the matter. Ijs speak life the word only. Pray to Him in secret.

And as people turn away from God more and more, the destruction of family and marriage becomes increasingly evident. 😢
