Bed Power In Marriage

Bed Power In Marriage  

Hebrews 13:4
4Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

You know the marriage bed is a powerful thing. In fact a marriage bed of Jesus has walls and a gate. However, before I discuss these wall and gate metaphors of the marriage bed. I would like for you to read the following which contain the elements of the will in a marriage in Christ:

1 Cor. 13:4-6 NIV

4Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. 5It is not rude. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people's wrongs.
6Love is not happy with evil. But it is full of joy when the truth is spoken. 7It always protects. It always trusts. It always hopes. It never gives up.

Imagine a bed on stage. It belongs to a married couple. The sheet on top is white which is pure and undefiled.
Now put a Bible on this bed. Now cover it with video tapes, kinky or what have you. Now add sex stamina pills. cassette tapes of favorite songs, some books, home about a lap top or desk top computer, your pet dog or cat, comics from the Sunday paper, fax machines, DVDs. Hey we all use these but pretty soon where is The Bible? Where did it go? Can you still see it with all that covers it?
What about submission in a marriage bed God wants? Hubbys? Wives? What do you do. Well that is where the walls around the marriage be comes in.

Lets look at them. They are in 1 Cor.13:4-6.
One brick of the wall is patience. Husbands and wives are you patient with each other? I believe by faith it develops the awesome sexual surprise in by The Holy Spirit. It is a build excuse the pun of excitement! eeeyeahya! First friends, then intimacy, love, and then marriage.
If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend who yells before you marry them. imagine what they are going to be after marriage. It is a backbiting, verbal nightmare until you physically die!
So you want to be patient. There is no perfect "knight in shining armor" nor is there a perfect pancakes, waffles, eggs every day  HOUSEWIFE. That woman your wife to be is your best friend! Not only that this wife of yours before you marry is your sister in Jesus. that is always going to be because some day it will be just a sister brother relationship only again in Heaven. I know LOL you are cringing at such a thought. No more hubby or wife! LOL!
This is where the next brick of the wall around the bed comes in called kind in 1 Cor. 13:4. Remember whose you are!
Ah! Here is a good brick in the wall around the marriage bed: love "does not want what belongs to others." Guys do you force something your wife is not comfortable by God to do. Wives how about you? Don't go too fast. You spoil all the fun! LOL!
"It [love] not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people's wrongs."
Hey if this cannot be countered in a Godly way there will be my friend problems. Watch each other. Build each other up so this is minimized in maturity in Jesus. We are not flawless yes, but do not take such a brick in the wall around your marriage bed lightly. It may lead hubby to a woman at the office or wife vice versa. or your sheets on your marriage bed go from white purity to blemished stain of adultery. See why The Word, The Bible is so important? Hmmm? People, full thrusters I say in The Holy Spirit, the best sex stimulant that lasts a life time! LOL! And that is not kinky either! LOL!
Are you both husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend in love with God's Word as partners. You know singles got it easy. See they who are single believers in th church can maintain their spiritual stamina a lot easier because they only deal with themselves. But for the two in one flesh man it is hard and I am not being kinky using the word hard here either. Yuk. Yuk. Um Never mind. So for the wife and the husband having Bible study together. Man this is paramount for they are ONE FLESH!
"7It [love] always protects." Love protects that husband wife relationship. In fact it is a good idea to set aside one night a week for you oh husband and wife. Send your kids with Grandma and Grandpa or have Johnny or Sally stay with a
friend of a Godly neighbor you thoroughly research especially these days of kidnappers and AMBER ALERTS! That marriage bed my friend will be strong, healthy, and clean! EEEEyeahya!!!!If you can't establish trust in getting marriage don't get married or see a Pastor. This is so important. You don't want to lack such a brick in your wall around the marriage bed.
"It always hopes. It never gives up." This faith husband and wife. You are going to have peaks and valleys, but have faith folks a keep very close to GOD for all your needs. Make HIM LORD of all things each day of your marriage and in courtship and dating? Yes making Jesus Lord here too.

In Christ!
