Prophetic Dream: Prepare For Your Kingdom Marriage Part 1

Have you ever asked yourself, Is marriage God's will for me? It can be especially hard to watch friends and family make that walk down the aisle and you are left to wonder When will it be my turn to get married? It can be just as difficult to come out from a divorce or another failed relationship and think will I get a chance for a new beginning? Keep reading because I believe that it is God's perfect will for you to be married.

Late in the summer of 2019, I received a dream from God concerning marriage. In this dream, I was seated in a university classroom, with many people milling around and talking in their seats. The room was shaped in a semi amphitheater setting with the professor positioned at the bottom standing at his podium with a giant blackboard behind him. I remembered the professor signaling for everyone to take their seats so that the lecture could start. As the professor started to speak his voice was drowned out by a deeper voice that seemed to be coming out of a sound system. I quickly realized in the dream that God had taken over the lecture. The lighting in the room intensified but not so much where I was blinded but instead, there was still a bright glow around the room. Along with the light the voice of God filled the air and I had to focus and tune into what He was saying. I am putting couples together to go out two by two throughout the whole Earth, to equip the body of Christ. My people are not prepared to endure the End Times. As I looked around me the people that were students were transformed and each had an assigned mate handpicked by God. Their clothes were transformed into white robes that seemed to reflect the bright light that was in the classroom. As each person found their assigned mate they left in pairs to do the divine assignment given to them by God Himself.

It is my opinion that marriage is the desired will of God for His people. It is through marriage that families are established and God's glory can be displayed on the Earth. While there are instances of people that have the gift of singleness and whose main purpose is to serve God. Those people are rare with notables like Paul, Mordecai, and the most famous Jesus Himself! For the most part marriage and family is an integral part of the Kingdom of Heaven agenda. Because it is one of the vehicles that display God's glory in the world, it has been attacked like none other by Satan. The good news is that God is intervening because the times run short and the body of Christ must be prepared for the end.

I highly encourage you then beloved, to prepare yourself for the promise of marriage. Preparation is an act of faith that you will trust God to bring His desired mate to you. There are two types of preparation that has to be done before God can deliver His desired mate to you. You first must go through spiritual preparation and physical preparation. I will start with the spiritual prep work first because in all things the spirit always comes before the physical.

God must be set in your heart first to avoid the stumbling block of idolatry. When God was leading the children of Israel into the promised land, He gave them one directive over and over again. Above all the command to LOVE the Lord thy God with all your heart, and with all your mind was uttered constantly. The reason is that the most important thing for us is to seek the heart of God more than what is in His hand. As the children of God through Christ Jesus, it is God's desire to take care of you and give you the desires of your heart. But there is a catch to it, it is God's will for you to know Him intimately.  In James 4:8 it says "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you" and in Hebrews 11:6 it says that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. As you begin to purposely spend time with God you will find that your desires will change to His desires instead so that you can walk in unity with Him. If you are walking in unity with God, then your heart won't turn and make the promise of marriage or your mate the god of your life. God frequently warns us about idolatry. Idolatry is not just a little gold idol or wooden figurines, but it is anything that makes us choose it over obeying God.

The next thing that has to be prepared for marriage is your mind. For the kingdom of Heaven is first established in your heart and your mind. Do you harbor fears of being alone for the rest of your life? Well then if it is God's desire for you to be married your thoughts will have to come into agreement with God's word. Fears of being alone, suffering another failed relationship, and uttering curses against yourself will have to be dealt with. With the help of the Holy Spirit and the word of God, those strongholds set up in your mind will have to be torn down. For some people that is a quick process and for others it will take longer. Romans 12:2 says And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. It is God's will to have kingdom marriages and families in the Earth. Psalms 68:6 states God sets the solitary in families. He brings out those who are bound into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Taking Your First Steps Into Promise

Every believer in Christ has a Wilderness experience before going into their own Promise Land. The Wilderness is a place of testing, chastening, suffering, and maturing into sonship in Christ. The Lord dictated to Moses and the children of Israel what they would encounter before stepping foot into their Promise Land. The Lord God warned them that they would face many enemies, but not to worry for the Lord God was with them. God was bringing them into a good land that was not like Egypt:

"For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden; but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, fro the beginning of the year to the very end of the year." Deuteronomy 11:10-12 NKJV

When the Lord begins to direct you to prepare for your promise after the season of wandering and trial in the Wilderness it is called your transition. Think of the transition phase as a type of checklist to make sure you have everything you need to successfully lay claim to the promise. For the children of Israel, the one condition that the Lord God mentioned over and over again was to have a heart that loved the Lord God above all and to obey His commandments. The purpose of the wilderness was to prepare their hearts to love the Lord and obey Him. Just like for us today, the same principle holds true. Before God can give you what is in His Hand you must first give Him your heart.

"Above all else guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23 NIV

It is during the Wilderness where what is in your heart is tested and tried before God. It is a season where your flesh is put to death through a season of suffering. This could come in the form of divorce, sickness, death, poverty and any number of things that will humble you. But if you cling to God you will find that He is your source, strength, husband, friend, and provider after all others have failed you. In fact, it is during this time where you discover God Himself, both His acts and His ways.

"He revealed his character to Moses and His deeds to the people of Israel." Psalm 103:7 NLT

To finally discover for yourself the character of God and to know Him is the greatest treasure that a human can possess. If you treasure and love the Lord above all else, more than what He can do for you then you have discovered the secret and purpose to life itself, loving God. So during the transition what is it that God wants you to reflect on and take with you into the Promised Land? Love the Lord, obey His Word, and walk humbly with your God.

"And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord." Deuteronmy 8:2-3 NKJV

The purpose of all the testing was to prepare you to receive and be able to hold the promise. If God had given you the promise before you were ready, you would fall and the promise would destroy you because of pride. One of my favorite teachers Tony Evans said that with every blessing comes a curse built in it. It is really easy for us to forget what God has done and believe that somehow our education or our own ability brought the promise to us. The sin of the pride of life, where we believe that we are the masters of our destiny and not God, brings down many a Christian.

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world." 1 John 2:16 NKJV

"Then you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth. And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 8:17-20 NKJV

 Before you make your first steps into promise make sure that God is first in your heart, for your heart is the true promise land. Know that your God has gone before you and prepared the way to lay claim to what He has promised for you. All the testing and trials had a purpose because God will do good for you in the end!

"Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; and when your herds and your flocks multiply and your silver and your gold are multiplied and all that you have is multiplied; when your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock; who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end." Deuteronomy 8:11-16 NKJV
