FOR ALL THOSE CHRISTIANS LIVING IN FORNICATION


According to the dictionary, fornication means ‘sexual intercourse between a man and woman not married to each other.’

The Bible says, “But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints.” Ephesians 5:3 NKJV

In other words, God does not approve of a lifestyle of living together and having sex without being married.

Jesus said to the woman He met at the well, “You don’t have a husband— for you have had five husbands, and you aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now.” John 4:17-18 NLT

Jesus was making it obvious to this woman what He thought about her lifestyle of living in the sin of fornication!

It for this reason the Scriptures say: “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4 NKJV

WHEN YOU ARE MARRIED TO AN ASSIGNMENT | By Edwin Christiaan

This is when you are married to someone who is appointed by the Devil to obstruct and destroy your walk with God!

For the man, this means: You are married to a woman, who is not submissive to the will of Jesus Christ and His Word. Instead of helping you, she constantly hinders you from accomplishing God’s will. Instead of you leading her in God’s ways, she is taking charge over you; disrespecting your authority as her head, while leading you away from God. She is not humble and gentle, but likes to teach you how to treat her, and she will vex you until you give into her demands. You are in a constant power struggle with her, because she refuses to submit to you as God - through His Word - has purposed for her to do.

For the woman, this means: You are married to a man, who does not submit to the will of Jesus Christ and the Bible. Instead of loving you like Christ loves the church, he treats you harshly, and is unkind and abusive towards you. He does not honor you by speaking good things about you, but instead he looks at other women and lusts after them. He does not treat you with understanding, and he does not regard you as his equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Because of the way he treats you, God is not answering his prayers and therefore there is no blessing in your relationship with him. The marriage is stuck in a curse!

MOST PASTORS HAVE BAD MARRIAGES | Edwin Christiaan


So many pastors have bad marriages, and yet they continue to teach the church how to obtain God’s breakthrough in their personal lives and be blessed! How in the world is that possible?

Let me explain.

First of all, the Scriptures clearly teach, that a pastor must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him.  For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church? (See 1. Timothy 3:4-5)

Now, what you often see from pastors who have bad marriages is that their wives are not submissive to them, but instead they dominate and take authority over them. These ambitious wives are basically the ones who are leading the church (behind the scenes), teaching and instructing the men. This is the exact opposite of what the apostle Paul taught, namely that,

“Women should learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them!” 1. Timothy 2:11-12 NLT

It is no wonder, that there is so much confusion and disorder in the church! The Bible says,

“For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.” James 3:16 NLT

Furthermore, the Bible says, that the wives of pastors must be respected and must not slander others. They must exercise self-control and be faithful in everything they do! (See 1. Timothy 3:11)

“For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do!” 1. Timothy 2:10 NLT

THE BIG ELECTION PICTURE! | By Edwin Christiaan


The fight for America is not against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (See Ephesians 6:12)

There is a spirit battle raging in America right now, as Satan, who disguises himself as an angel of light, and his servants, who also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, are seeking to steal, kill and destroy this nation! (See 2. Corinthians 11:14-15, John 10:10)

Satan uses counterfeit power, signs and miracles, and every kind of evil deception to fool the people! (See 2. Thessalonians 2:9-10)

One of the most effective evil spirits that Satan is using to deceive the masses is the Jezebel Spirit! The Jezebel Spirit manifests itself in women, who are being used by Satan to emasculate men, as they usurp and disregard their God-given authority. The result is the destruction of the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, replacing it with the promotion and legalization of homosexual lifestyle and marriage. In doing so, they are also inadvertently supporting the LGBT agenda in their fight for transgenders to have the freedom to choose whichever public bathroom they want to use!   

The Jezebel Spirit is everywhere; in the government, our education system, the entertainment world, and yes, in the church!

One of the key people that Satan is using to lead America on the path of total moral destruction is Hillary Clinton! But God will put a stop to Hillary’s march to the White House, by instead electing Donald Trump to become the next president of the United States, and in doing so, bring an end to the reign of this wicked Jezebel Spirit over America!

Donald Trump, like John the Baptist, will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah, and God will use him to bring back manhood to America, causing the hearts of the fathers to turn to their children, and the rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly! (See Luke 1:17)

JEZEBEL UNDERMINES AUTHORITY By Edwin Christiaan


In a Christian marriage, the man is the head of his wife and has the responsibility to lovingly lead his wife in doing the will of God! (See Ephesians 5:22-33)

But, if the man is married to a woman who possesses the Jezebel Spirit, she will undermine his God-given authority and she will end up leading him astray, away from the will of God into sickness, financial ruin, and defeat! (See Revelation 2:20-23)
