God’s Purpose for Marriage (Marriage Today)
1. To replicate God’s nature and image on the earth
2. To complete man and woman so that they experience companionship and eliminate aloneness
3. To generationally perpetuate the nature of God and the values of his kingdom
4. To multiply God’s human family with righteous offspring.
The Signs of an Atomistic State (the downfall of all states)
1. Marriage loses its sacredness as it is frequently broken by divorce
2. The traditional meaning of marriage is lost
3. The feminist movement abounds and women lose their inclination for childbearing
4. There is an increased public disrespect for parents
5. Increase in juvenile delinquency, promiscuity, and rebellion
6. The hostility of pseudo-intellectuals to the family soon spreads to the common people sealing the doom for society
7. There is an increased acceptance of adultery and sexual perversion
Requirements of Marriage
1. Sacrifice - marriage is a covenant, which means to cut; a sacrificial permanent relationship
2. Commitment - selflessness, service, cooperation, faithfulness, and generosity
Reasons the Devil Attacks Marriage
1. Because it looks like God
2. It makes people act like God
3. He wants to break the heart of children
Thank you 😊
Great outline and so helpful.
Thanks....
Thank you
This was so helpful. Thank you.
I came across Jimmy Evans a few months back and I literally binged watch almost everyone of his sermons. Lol He and his wife are awesome. Keep marriages inspired guys.
Me 2
Me too ! 🙏🏼 praying for all marriages
I just discovered him today! God bless!
Me also
Please keep me in prayer just went into a marriage covenant almost a month ago .
How's it going so far
Please pray for my marriage. I have been a horrible husband. One to many times I have lied to my wife and trust in our marriage is gone. Need help as I am deeply depressed. Because I truly love my wife.
Has things changed?
Praying for you Tony! Do not give up. Keep your eyes on Christ. In HIM, all things are possible!
I love ya"ll!!!!
God bless you!!!!
I adore this channel.
Everything sooooo true!!!!
I am married 29 years and have 9 kids!!!
Be blessed. ❤❤❤❤❤
This Godly man is, in my opinion, the greatest Christian marriage counselor that ever was! I highly recommend to anyone struggling in their marriage, (or even in a healthy marriage that wants to be strengthened) to get the 5-cd set and/ or book by Jimmy Evans entitled, Marriage on the Rock. When we realize that the purpose of our marriages is to bring Glory and Honor to God......we are then truly blessed! To God be the Glory!
Please pray for the reconciliation of my marriage. 💕
Dont give up! Through Christ...ALL things are possible. Is there anything too hard for God? Praying for you
Mine too
I’m in the process of reconciling with my husband of 38 years this month we’ve only been separated 2 months but we’ve given our life and marriage to god and are cleansing our sins together to have a fresh start and after 35 years of alcoholism I helped my husband detox he has been 2 weeks sober,it will be a lifetime battle but together with god we will succeed ,we are now working on communication so we can have a healthy marriage in Jesus Christ. We are also going to a Christian counselor as well as I’m attending ARMS classes to learn how to set boundaries because I’m a giver and always put myself last I’m learning to allow my husband do things for me.
48 and single and haven’t been on a date in 13 years. Not sure why TH-cam is recommending this video but I really like Jimmy Evans’ messages.
I just got married yesterday in the name of the father son and Holy Spirit. I feel like a new man after one day and I was living in sin for 10 years. I love all of you and I hope you find that person who makes I a we!!
It's so POWERFUL when men celebrate marriage!
Makes me so sad...so many people believe marriage isn't important because it's just a piece of paper. But it is so much more than that
They married for the wrong purposes. The bible says, he that findedth a wife finds a good thing... the same can be said for these husbands. When God puts something together, no one can break it. God will literally "move" things out of the way to keep the two together.
@@youstupidfoo565 Hahahaha
Marriage is a wonderful thing that God created but it’s not always wonderful! I believe any marriage survives when God is the foundation and the center of the marriage but there will be up and downs.
My marriage right now is under a spiritual attack, I feel the enemy is working hard and using my spouse’s anger to hurt me.
I need help.
I pray that you both have received some healing in yourselves and your marriages
Vanessa ; I totally agree with you. A real , true , man of God will always be that man of God. But people today are Not men of God and you are right , Satan is always trying to attack marriage. I’m telling people claim Christian , but their works don’t reflect it. I thank God that he loves me and that’s why I do his will and please him.
Well yeah marriage is great for women because you can leave anytime and get big bucks and cheat all at the same time while the man gets to be homeless and no kids God soooo loving and caring
@@derekhaywood1844 Or god doesn’t give a flying fuck
Please pray for my marriage. God bless you 🙏 Amen
In Jesus name , Amen!!!!!!
God bless ❤️💯✝️
Thank You Jesus for this precious ministry! Bless you all for all you do!
Heal us Lord Jesus! Blessed be Your name. Thank you for speaking truth Jimmy.
This whole time I thought when the bible said God made men in the image of God, it was that we look like Him physically not like how he demonstrated lol Now I understand !! This was too good!
i think its better to say one God but in 3 forms. God= Soul. Jesus= Body. Holy Spirit= Spirit. ......Soul, body and spirit. Three forms. Not 3 persons. They each come in a different form. Ones a soul, ones a body, other one is a spirit. And that's what every human is made out of too. Each human has a body, soul and spirit. We're made in the image of God. We're not 3 "persons." We have 3 "forms."
That's a mormon view.
Amen 🙏🏾 God loves marriage !
Wonderful sermon churches in the whole world should listen. Thank you be blessed.
Thank you for this sermon, Everyone needs to hear it. This sermon touched my heart.
My prayer is for Purification in my marriage. As the world get darker every day my prayer is that God keeps contamination out of my marriage

thank you for the TRUTH
Dear Jimmy Evans , can you please talk more specifically about having children and creating a family in marriage . I feel like the same issues and disrespect that apply to marriage also apply to having children . While you touched on this I wish it was discussed further . Too many people even Christian people think that having children is something you choose or not choose to do . I believe this is only because of the introduction of birth control pill which originated out of the feminist movement, this was not Gods plan for the family or our sexuality in marriage . I just wish there was more discussion about why the Bible is pro having children in a Christian marriage and teaching my generation why it’s important. I just feel that even Christians couples have taken God OUT of their decision in having children as things like infertility and career alter their decision making . They’d rather turn to science than God. Just some thoughts .
Focus on God not your marriage. Your strong relationship with God will naturally take care of marriage. The church has put way too much emphasis on having a happy marriage to the point where couples are taught to be selfish and put themselves first in everything.
I disagree, my pastor has told me that we as men need to sacrifice for our wife the same way Christ sacrificed for the church. Thats why the church follows him, and one day when im married I will do the same.
@@cbarlos663 What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; 1st Corinthians 7:29 NIV. This states it pretty plainly- we need to balance this verse with the call to sacrifice, because we don't just sacrifice for our spouses, we are to love one another as Christ loved us John 13:34- I'm just saying the church has this out of balance and it tipping the other way and turning our spouses into an idol. Francis Chan talks a lot about this, how there are a lot of happy and strong marriages in the church, but they are useless because they are self -centered and not accomplishing anything for the gospel. It's all about date nights and meeting each other "needs", not about taking those strong relationships and pouring into others for the Lord.
I think you are great. Much wisdom from God, but there's one thing you agreed on in another video, talking about marriage vows. Stating in sickness and in health, richer or poorer. No I would not confess, either sickness or poorer. They are under the curse, and should not come out of a Christians mouth, only blessings.
This was an amazing resource, thank you!
praise be to God
Everything changed after the tree of knowledge of good and evil - How did marriage - male/female relationships change considering God's Redemptive Purpose?
Beautiful. Amen❤
Pray for my hursband
Excellent!
I don't like my marriage. He's SELFISH. I got so tired of him watching filth in our home, around children. Giving all his time and money to work, addictions, hobbies. Confiding in toxic family members and a former love interest about our marriage, but not communicating with me. And God expects me to stay in that?? I'm sorry, but I had to leave for my own sanity.
🙌
Please pray for my marriage 💙🙏
Thank you . Hod bless you
___That's so true __#Amen_
I really appreciate #Drakhigbespellhome for bringing back my husband with his prayers
This is great ministry dear brother.would that we can translate your sermons in Urdu Language for Pakistani Churches.
papa pray for me iam a new engagement woman please I need your prayers in my relationship iam facing lot of things in my relationship please help me with prayers 😭😭😭😭😭
Wow so deep... Elohim making man in his own image.... Three in one ..
I tried to solve my internal
Issues before I was a Christian.
It led to destruction.
I lost too many years living in pain.
When I became a Christian.
That didnt fix all those problems.
Marriage will NOT fix you.
Only God can. Nothing on Earth can repair the scars and damage caused in your heart and soul.
Believe God loves you. HE DOES.
Do not use the ways of the world to try to get Gods results.
When I met my one day to be wife.
My 1st need was to be loved.
Really loved. Gods kind love.
SEX does NOT mean love
Love does for the object what is in it's best interest.
If I say I love you. Then it better look like Gods example.
If it doesnt. Then it's most likely
NOT love.
Do not base your relationship
On physical pleasures.
Base it on Godly Interests
I love you Sir thaks to God for His Spirit that you possess.
glory be to God jesus
I am looking for my wife , kind of hard to find a " real Christian woman "
In Jesus name God brings her to you
They're still out here
Dashelle Disna Still waiting 😔😔 Maybe you can help me 🙂🙃🙃
@@derekhaywood1844 haha okay
Melo Pineda I am not in a rush , but I want a wife all it is too it. I serve God proper and I was brought up in the church all my life but having that personal relationship with God studying 38 years I broke away from the ( new age churches ) they don't teach Gods word. Woman are worldly and I need a ( true ) woman in Christ. That is hard to find today. Christ is the head of man , then the man next. God created man in his image and then he created the woman from the mans rib. There is a order in marriage and the church. I am still waiting. If there are any true Christian woman out here I am looking for you. I am a good God fearing man and I live according to Gods will.
What a beautiful analogy
POWERFUL!!!!!!!
Satan thought he was gonna destroy God's plan in the garden of eden. But it's really deeper than this. God made man a little lower than angels. But God gave something to mankind that angels can't have. The ministry of marriage ( intimacy) . Satan seen God gave the gift of sex between Adam and Eve and became envy and thought he could use God's words against him with Eve to end what God had started. God didn't surely say. God knew what Satan was gonna do before he came to Eve infact it started God's plan of let us make man in our image. If they had known they would have never crucified the Lord of glory. If Satan had a known he wouldn't have never went to Eve. If people would really get intimate with God they wouldn't become deceived. Marriages would start and last. Families would see God and Satan would remain defeated. Satan hates Godly marriages Satan hates Godly intimacy. Satan does everything he can to distort the things of God. Spiritual Revelation from the kingdom of God is needed if your gonna see God's glory
How we can partner together in this ministry..
Please arrange and do my marriage
🙏🙏🙏God
The more I am learning to be independent in my marriage. The more I realize I don't need it. There isn't a real point in getting married. Happiness is your responsibility. I could have served God in other ways. It's too late I will keep my vows for God not my wife.
Love it but need a little help on understanding something. He said a Christ like man, a Holy Spirit like woman and God in the middle. But I have heard them called a Christ centered marriage. So, are there supposed to be two Christ like figures or is a Christ centered relationship a poor representation. Is the center supposed to be the Father making the third who of the triune God(Father, Son and Holy Spirit) or is the middle supposed to be the “what” of the Triune God (three who’s, one “what”(God)), but in that case it would seem a little weird for the relationship to be modeled after God but leave out the Father. Or is the “what” of God as a whole being above over us and taking care of us supposed to be the representation of the Father. But that leaves us with a weird case. Now we have a husband(Christ like) a wife(Holy Spirit like) and God(Father, Son and Holy Spirit), now the representation has something more like a five being relationship, which would be kind of weird if we are modeling after a three being relationship. Or are we just supposed to take God as a whole as Father like, as he has control over what the Son and Holy Spirit does. Oh that makes sense, God, Man and Women are the “what’s” of marriage and the Father Son and Holy Spirit are the “who’s” of marriage. Comment if you have an alternate solution or you see a problem with this.
@TheRealConservative ~ While I will agree that calling the wife "Holy Spirit like" is not Biblically substantiated (more on that in a moment), if a person chooses to take THAT MODEL of the wife being "Holy Spirit like" and the husband "Christ like", then yes, in order for the Triune God model to be complete, FATHER God is at the center and head (lead) of the Son (husband) ~ John 5:19 is a Biblical passage that can be utilized in the marriage context as the Son (husband) does what He see the Father (at the marriage center) do ~~ But more specific detail is revealed in Ephesians 5:22-33 regarding the Biblical view of the relation between husband (Christ) and wife (CHURCH, not Holy Spirit). Hence, the model of the God (Father), husband (Christ), and wife (Holy Spirit) may be more representative (especially as a visual aide before an audience) than it is to be considered functional, which Scripture reveals in Eph. 5:22-33 ~ Christ did not give Himself for the Holy Spirit, nor does He minister, cleanse or sanctify the Spirit... Christ does this for His Church Bride... the Spirit glorifies the Son... The Church glorifies GOD (Father, Son, HS) both as ONE, as well as individually to proper degrees and context, but that's another discussion altogether ~ Ultimately, whenever a visual model, analogy, or passage seems to be unclear or blurry, it's always a good idea to employ the "K.I.S.S." method = Keep It Simple Saints ;) LoL
That was beautiful ❤️
Your RELATIONSHIP with god should always be #1. GOD is eternal. MARRIAGE and every relationship in this earth is Temporary.
We Idolize Marriage like we"re going to be married in HEAVEN..🤦🏾♀️
True but you have to understand that god wants us to be married because so that we can leave on his prophecy because god says that our marriage shall reflect his image and it’s not for out own pleasure is for the Lord’s
I agree why are Christians so hyper focused on marriage? If someone is right with God and has a strong relationship with him and their spouse does the same why would they need to put all this significant effort and work into it to keep it healthy? The relationship with God should overflow into the marriage naturally.
@@sarayoung9395 Amen. There will be trials regardless because we're humans and fallible, but rather have disagreements with a Christian man any day
@@isellchicken370 not everyone is called for that though. Some are to be eunuchs for christ like apostle Paul. Also, majority of people dont understand Biblical marriage, they do it in their own terms.
i think its better to say one God but in 3 forms. God= Soul. Jesus= Body. Holy Spirit= Spirit. ......Soul, body and spirit. Three forms. Not 3 persons. They each come in a different form. Ones a soul, ones a body, other one is a spirit. And that's what every human is made out of too. Each human has a body, soul and spirit. We're made in the likeliness of God. We're not 3 "persons." We have 3 "forms."
Lazy generations didn’t give society good children. So wake up people understand the importance of married life. Faithful to each other.
Shut up not everyone likes marriage
Hard truths about marriage worth noting.
i need it as book to read..........
Husband is God wife is wealth in family life so religious said they both completely each other . That’s why all religious celebrate the wedding They both responsible for their duties like give society good children. Husband duties work out side wife duties to give time husband and children.
At what exact point (what second in time) are two people "actually" officially married ...in God's eyes? When they have both signed the same marriage certificate? (as Adam and Eve did) When they have put on their tuxedo or wedding dress? (as Adam and Eve did) When they have placed gold rings on each other's fingers? (as Adam and Eve did) When they cut the three tier wedding cake? (as Adam and Eve did) When they proclaim their love in a church before a congregation of family and friends? (as Adam and Eve did) When they ride away to their honeymoon in a stretch limousine? (as Adam and Eve did) When a minister of their religion has officially declared it so? (as Adam and Eve did) When the man made laws of their state or country approve, and have received due registration fees? (as it was for Adam and Eve) ..OR.. When a man and a woman meet in a beautiful garden, ..vow and pledge their undying love to each other, and commit to faithfully espouse each other until death do they part, ...with GOD as their witness?
..(as Adam and Eve REALLY DID DO.!)
GOD Himself created, officiated, and institutionalized marriage as "HOLY MATRIMONY"
..So why don't we do it God's way anymore?
Hi Christine, I believe it is when they go through a time of proclaiming their covenant with each other and God in a ceremony. As a Christian, I believe Scripture is clear about marriage being a covenant relationship. I don't think it is as simple as two people telling each other they love each other and then moving in together. There is a time when they leave their family and begin a new family. This would be at a marriage ceremony. When we think of Mary and Joseph, we see them betrothed (engaged) to each other and abstaining from sexual relations until they were officially married through a ceremony. I think that is a good picture. I don't believe a marriage certificate defines a marriage. It is a legal document and not a spiritual proclamation. Does this help? I ran across your post today and thought I would reply. I hope I don't come across as mean. :)
@@TommySpotts
Thank you for your reply Tommy. The example you gave of Mary and Joseph was not under "normal" circumstances, because they both knew that Mary was carrying a miraculously concieved child, so it was obvious that their own personal relationship had to wait until a more appropriate time. I do very much agree that marriage is a covenant relatiinship, but as far as I know, there is no scriptural support for a "legal" cerimony to be held. I am aware that Jesus went to a wedding feast, but there is no indication that "the feast" validated the marriage in God's eyes. I believe that consumation and faithful commitment IS marriage in God's eyes ..not rings and white dresses and other paraphenalia. I believe once Adam and Eve "knew" each other that, "that" is when they became husband and wife, ...but perhaps we might have to just agree to disagree, .....and btw you didn't sound mean at all ...lol. 😊 God bless.
Soon!
this is gooooood stuff
Amen Amen!
My husband believes that he is allowed to interact and even sleep with single woman but as a married woman I am not it’s a sin?!
Biblically, Should Divorced people remarry? Someone, please answer.
Yes. I just studied this two weeks ago. It is a fascinating study, especially from a historical perspective. The certificate of divorce gives you the right to remarry. What Jesus speaks about in Matthew 19:9 is translated in English as a divorce but it should actually be translated what it literally means "a putting away." Whoever divorces (puts away) his wife except for sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced (put away) commits adultery. The putting away is equivalent to a separation not a legal divorce. (Apoluon). Putting away is a separate act from the divorce certificate. Many men were "putting away" their wives for trivial reasons without the certificate of divorce which placed the woman in a vulnerable and dangerous situations. Moses instituted the certificate of divorce to protect the woman only, and Jesus mentioned that because of the hardness of their hearts. The actual certificate of divorce is called the (Apostacion). The putting away with the actual certificate completes the divorce process and one is able by law to remarry again. Please remember God does hate a divorce. Divorce is destructive to the family and it devastates children. Counseling and reconciliation should always be the first option. I hope this helps. God bless you.
Marriage is until death do us part!
Janelle Allen Absolutely! Marriage until death is God’s purpose and plan; however, because of the hardness of the heart of man God allowed divorce and historically divorce was a protection for the woman. We have to truly put God in the center of marriage so that marriage continues to be sacred, holy and sustainable. God Bless You!
@@Regina-or8xk it was Moses that allowed divorce. Legally, you can get married as many time as you want but you can't legally married to 2 people at once. Biblically, you can only have one living spouse.
Janelle Allen You are correct. You can only be married to one spouse at a time hopefully until death but we both know that does not always happen.
God's way
Amen 🙏
Without wife house is graveyard. Without husband house doesn’t look house
The people have lost much love in these latter days.Apostle Paul mentioned let every man have a wife,but how easy it was in his time,but not now. Its why he was shocked by his prophetic vision of these latter days,men are lovers of themselves.Also Jesus foresaw these days in matthew24:12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.' People are in fear.there is less trust,less love. Jesus will return soon.
Do you have a way for me to get advice on a topic relating to getting married? An email address

First Rule Of A Good Christian Marriage:

When my emotional, Physical and economical desires are met, we, my husband and I, can focus on God desires instead of our own.
7:10 -it looks like a third of that
7:31 -it looks like 60% of that
7:43 -it looks 90% like that
But gay marriage with God in the middle would look 100% like that (even though God would never marry gay men to each other)
Or if the Godhead representative had a female (like the personification of wisdom that sounds a lot like the Holy Spirit) then they would look 100% alike (especially since Gen 1:27's language seems to imply that in His image God created both male AND female), but I'd have to squint REALLY hard for three men look like two men and a woman.
I love the rest of the video even though the analogy falls apart when you want me to be like the LGBTQIA2S+ community and not recognize differences between a man and a woman even if it is a group of 3 men compared to two men and a woman. They are NOT the same and God agrees.
I know that Hebrew words ending in -im are masculine plural, but there is only masculine and feminine plurals and there is no neutral/mixed plural. If there's a group of 9 women and 1 man and you're talking about them, you're going to end in -im because there's a man in the group even though if that man left you would use -ot for the plural. Since God has at least some masculine nature, -im is by default used even if there's anything feminine within Them for Them to model women after. If Hebrew had a neutral/mixed plural that it didn't use, I would 100% agree with you that the trinity looks more like an impossible gay marriage than an actual marriage, but in the end it's not like knowing about God's body is what saves us, so this is really more of a food for thought rather than any sort of rebuke or accusation.
Wow
This video is just one example of how marriage is idolized by the church.
Then tell me why he created the devil if he knew he was going to fail?
Your definition of covenant is incorrect... Covenant is illegal term which is binding between parties and that is the Greek Aramaic definition. Not trying to tear your sermon apart, just stating an observation.
