The command in the Bible states as Jesus told the Pharisees, “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” (separate) (Matthew 19:6). Marriage is of God, Himself, our Higher Authority in heaven over natural man’s laws. This command also refers to marriage and divorce. It is from Jesus’ teaching on marriage and divorce found in Mark 10:1–12 and Matthew 19:1–12. On one occasion, the Pharisees asked Jesus if it is legitimate for a man to divorce his wife. Jesus in essence answers, “NO”: “Haven’t you read . . . that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?” So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate” Matthew 19:4–6; Genesis 1:27; 2:24.

There is no divorce in God’s Kingdom, but there is forgiveness. The Holy Bible states it clearly after Jesus says, “What God has joined together, let no one separate,” the Pharisees point out that Moses allowed divorce. Jesus agrees but also points out that the allowance was made due to “hardness of heart” Matthew 19:8, reiterating that divorce was never God’s original plan and will not be recognized by God at all. The “hardness of heart” is of a reprobate evil mind of Satan’s nature to confuse people. When God created the Holy Bible everything was solid and will never be changed to satisfy man’s natural mind of thinking, which is of sin. However, God is the judge and the Father of His children, and divorce is a sin and of negative contents, which is not of God. God does not have a double-standard plan. God is saying, “If a person gets married with God’s approval, no one can separate you or break up your marriage or cause you to get a divorce because, under God, the male and female who are two become one flesh with each other in God, and the two becomes one Spirit with God. If the two individuals are married and are totally committed to God and His Word, there will never be a divorce. A person must understand that the flesh gets a divorce, but there is no flesh in God’s heaven and in the individuals that are fully joined together by God’s Spirit. 1 22

Many people living together have not gotten a divorce because of the FEAR of God. When people fear God, they are blessed by God, and their families have unconditional love for God and each other, which is the agape love with few problems or no problems since love covers many sins. First Peter 4:8, says, “Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins.” Proverbs 10:12 says, “Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.”

In what way does love cover sin? To “cover” sin is to forgive it, and forgiveness is associated with love. The best example of a love that covers sin is Jesus’ sacrificial death on our behalf. Jesus’ prayer from the cross, “Father, forgive them,” says it all Luke 23:34. Jesus’ bearing of our iniquities was an undeniable act of love Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:10. In fact, Jesus did more than just cover our sin; He did away with it completely Hebrews 10:12–14.

The above paragraph pointed to Jesus in knowing the truth about getting a divorce and separating. When knowing the truth, I have always pointed to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. If God be for you who can be against you? God has already won the victory for our marriage by dying on the cross with His blood shed to save the world. If both husband and wife are connected to God spiritually, how can the flesh enter? God said upon this Rock I build my Church (Marriage) and the gates of Hell cannot shall not prevail. Jesus’ command against separating, is why Jesus said, “What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.”

Mental Assent Vs Faith in the Almighty God.

Mental assent vs Faith is the Almighty God is a silent killer spirit operating in a person’s life blinding them to the truth. However, it is impossible for the marriage unions that God put together to be broken, but it is possible for fake marriage unions to be broken because either the husband or wife is still working on getting to know God from the heart. When this happens and it has happened in many marriages today, the marriage ends up in divorce. It is because one person is connected to God’s nature and one person is still connected to Satan’s nature, which is mental assent in the world of the flesh. This is also referred to as mental assent, which is a marriage of the mind and flesh. When you look critically at many of our Christian lives you will notice that most of us just have the mental assent that God exists in the flesh, but actually do not have faith in God. Mental assent looks so much like faith that many people cannot see the difference between the two.

Mental assent means intellectually accepting the Word of God as true – admiring it and agreeing with it but not allowing it to have an impact on them, so that it doesn’t do any good in their life. In essence, mental assent agrees with God but does not believe in God or His Word as being true.

The mental assenter affirms that the entire Bible came from God and is God’s revelation, but since it is not written in Red Letter, then every Word of truth is not what the word of God means. When a crisis comes, however, he says, “Yes, I believe the Bible is true, but it does not work for me in this situation.” He quotes Scriptures that he doesn’t really believe. For example, he might mentally affirm the word the way he thinks. “God will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19”, but never trusts God to do so by making personal application of this verse in his own life because he doesn’t totally believe the Word of God.

A person who mentally assents to God’s Word, says, “the Word is true, but you are taking it out of proportion, what You said is not true”- and leaves it at that. Now will you please do it?” Such a person may be successful in knowing much about the Word, but as far as His Spiritual life is concerned, he has failed. The true believer is a doer of the Word and not a hearer only (James 1:23). The believer builds on rock, while the mental assent builds on sand, see Matthew 7:24-27.

The only way God’s promises will become a reality in your life is for you to act on them and you can’t act on them without faith. As a matter of fact, the very Word promise requires faith. If I promise you something, that means you do not have it yet, so you have to believe I will give it to you. Everything God said He will give us are the “promises of God.” God says to us, “I promise I will do this for you, but in reality, it’s already done. I want you to believe that what I promise is real. It is already accomplished because I back up every promise I make.”

A variation of mental assent is “sense knowledge.” This is the attitude that says, “If I cannot see it, then it is not real. I’ll believe it when I see it.” The Bible tells us, “We walk by faith, not by sight” II Corinthians 5:17. This means that faith and sense knowledge are not compatible. Faith is the substance and evidence of things that your sense of knowledge cannot see. (See Hebrews 11:1, for the definition of Faith). Sense knowledge is the biggest obstacle to faith because; in many cultures, we are trained and conditioned to live by our five senses alone. If we cannot analyze something and empirically conclude that it actually works, then we do not believe it is real. However, what God says He has promised us is already a reality. Yet it will not become a manifested reality in our lives until we believe it is real before we see it through fully trusting in Him and His Word. That is how faith operates.

Again, the Bible says “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1. Note carefully that this verse does not say that faith is the EVIDENCE of things that do not exist. It says that faith is the evidence of the things you cannot see. For example, you cannot always see how God will meet your need. However, God says, “It’s already met; believe me.” That is living by faith. If you live by any other means, you will have high blood pressure, depression, and fear. You will live in frustration because you will try to figure out how to meet your own needs when you do not have that capability. God says, “I will supply all your needs. I have everything worked out. Trust Me to do it.”

If you have been mentally assenting to the truth but not acting on it, you have been living below your privilege for too long. You need to start living by the faith that God gave you so that His Word can come to pass in your life. People say,

“Well, I need more faith.” Faith is easy to obtain. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Rom 10:17). When you receive the Word, your faith grows. Every time you read the Word or hear good teaching and put it to practice, your Spiritual life is strengthened a little more. You don’t receive the Word of God without being changed for the better. The Word is the seed. Once you put the seed in good soil, the seed is going to grow because the power is in the seed.

James 1:22 says, “Do not merely listen to the Word (of God) and so deceive yourselves. DO WHAT IT SAYS.” This verse separates mental assent from faith. James said if you think listening to the Word by itself will make the difference, you are deceiving yourself. You must learn what you have heard by believing and then acting upon it.

Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people,

“What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first son and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ I will not, he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. Matt 21:28-31

The second son mentally assented to do what his father asked but never took any action on it. Although the first son was initially rebellious, he ended up agreeing with his father’s request and doing it. Jesus was showing us that we cannot just say we believe. WE HAVE TO LIVE OUT OUR FAITH BY DOING WHAT GOD ASKS. WE SHOULD NOT ONLY AGREE WITH HIS WORD AND WILL, BUT ALSO LIVE IT.

Some people are getting married and they say they are saved and they are lying just to get money from their mate or to have a place to stay. There are many reasons why people are getting married and there are many reasons why a person is not getting married accordingly to God’s Holy Standards, and some people are just shacking. This means that a man and a woman are living together without being spiritually and legally married, which is known as contractual married. Some people are not completely ready to give up their alcohol, drugs, and partying all night exchanging partners sexually and orally. Some of these people are Christians who are disobeying God and who have created their own marriage rules, which are not of God.

Is Divorce Ever Justified with People, but Not with God?

There are many debates among Christians about whether a divorce is ever justified. No a divorce is never justified in God’s eyes for His Children if their marriage is put together by God and the two people are equally yoked. The Word of God states, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14. The Bible clearly states not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, and what do we do? We omit God’s Word and married a person who is just the objective of what God said in the Bible. Then we try to make that person love us. It will not work that way. These divorces are justified not by God, but by Satan because you are living in the Satanic world where Satan’s Kingdom and not God’s kingdom. However, God Our Creator is still “The Supreme God” over everything He created, which includes Satan too. God’s Kingdom operates in His children’s lives, marriages, health, finances, and their well-being on earth who have escaped the penalty of death, through salvation. God’s Kingdom has the power on earth which has defeated Satan and the power which has overcome Satan’s kingdom on earth and his Children. The Word of God states in the Holy Bible in Luke 10:17-20, “ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

As stated above, God doesn’t have divorces or anything negative like this going on in His kingdom. There is nothing negative about God’s kingdom; the scriptures give examples and how God’s Kingdom and standards work regarding marriages, divorces, and evilness on earth. God only recognizes His children and teaches them about marriage and no divorce is ever justified when two people are married in God. We refer to God’s children as Christians who are spiritually joined together to God united in one Spirit bodily with the Godhead by the activation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the power of God known as The Third Person of the Godhead, which permanently joins Christians’ marriage to The

Godhead. Therefore, the victory of sin has been conquered because God said “It is finished. When Jesus uttered these words, he could say them confidently because three things were finished by his death on the cross.
Jesus’ words “it is finished” seem strange. After all, he was dying on the cross. What had he finished? What his audience didn’t know was that his death on the cross was accomplishing something life-changing.
“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures” 1 Cor. 15:3, which accomplished three things that happened.

1. The prophecies of Scripture had been completed
“Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” John 19:28-30

2. The judgment of sin was complete
Another work finished on the cross was the judgment and punishment of sin necessary for our redemption. If you go back to the garden of Eden after Adam and Eve sinned, God covered them with garments made from the skin of an animal Gen. 3:21. The last time I checked, to remove the skin from an animal, you must kill it to do so. By doing this, God established a principle that something or someone had to die for sin to be covered or dealt with. The killing of the animal to cover the sin of Adam and Eve foreshadows the sacrifices required in the law to cover the Israelites’ sins. Ultimately, this pointed to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to cover our sins and remove them.

Because of our sin, a price needed to be paid to satisfy the judgment sin requires. When Jesus was on the cross, God placed on him the sins of the world, which fulfilled the requirement of judgment. We are reminded of this in Isaiah 53:5-6, where we know that all of our iniquity was laid on Jesus, and he became the once and for all sacrifice needed to meet the demand of God’s justice.

3 – The forgiveness of sin was made available through the shedding of blood.
“In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Hebrews 9:22

By Jesus dying on the cross and shedding his blood, he provided the forgiveness of sin. Because the judgment of sin (death) and the payment of sin (blood) were both complete, Jesus could say “it is finished.” Jesus received the keys to death and life from hell. You might wonder how this could be a finished work if he still had to be raised from the dead. The work Jesus did on the cross paid the full price for our redemption and provided a remedy for the forgiveness of sin, and thus he conquered sin. That particular part of the work was finished, and the payment for our redemption was forever satisfied. In Hebrews 9:24-26 we learn that not only did Christ shed his blood, he only had to do it once, and that was enough. His one sacrifice offers a path of forgiveness for everyone who seeks it. That’s why Jesus could say, “it is finished.” The work necessary for our salvation and forgiveness was complete.

Why Jesus’ Resurrection Proved It Is Finished

One last fact needs to be addressed, which ties all this information together.
Marriage is a serious thing with God. The key to any victory is walking by faith that Jesus has conquered everything for His children on the Cross of Calvary. All sins were nailed to the Cross at that time, and Christians overcome the world of Satan, evilness, his evil children, wicked people, weakness by the blood of Jesus. Jesus, who is God in the flesh, died on the Cross to shed blood of Jesus has overcome all evil spirits Satan, evil, witchcraft, and all demonic and satanic devices of spiritual death

It is important to be equally together with God’s Spirit of love because unconditional love holds marriages together. However, we don’t find many marriages that are not being held together today because people don’t want to let go of their flesh and are holding on to the flesh and are not being taught the truth. They are also not interested in God’s truth anymore because they are living the good old life so they think until they get sick. This is because people are not connected “God and filled with the Holy Spirit and are halfway saved and don’t see the need to get saved. They are just marrying just to be marrying and not thinking about ‘God, and getting married and having children don’t mean anything to them anymore. They just file for government assistance and live a better life than they would if they were married. However, their children are not living the life that God wants for them. People are not halfway saved anymore become when their married doesn’t work out, they want to blame God and get a divorce instead of blaming themselves and Satan. We have done everything to save our family and the first step is that you get connected to God.

Many would allow for divorce in the case of unfaithfulness on the part of one spouse based on Matthew 19:9 or desertion of a believing spouse by an unbelieving spouse who no longer wants to be married to a believer see 1 Corinthians 7:15. These are all married to people are not saved. In these cases, the marriage bond has been broken by unfaithfulness or desertion—a severing of something that God has joined together—and it is a tragic occurrence. No they were broken in, the beginning because the marriage started. Divorce is not justified by God, but they are justified by the flesh and natural laws of this world. This is what God was telling Moses divorce is not part of me, but because of the hardening of the heart, (flesh), it can be in the natural world where everything is divided.

Children are divided without the Lord and are left without a Father and Mother. It is up to the individual to pray and ask God for their husband or wife. Mental ascend, meaning it is a marriage of the mind. Jesus ordained marriage to stay together because Children need to be raised in the Lord’s accordingly Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. It is so important for parents to not get a divorce and stay married because the parent is a model for the children to follow. How can we teach our children about marriage if we are not a model for them? Divorce is not of God.

Today many children are growing up with their peers and are having sex before they get old enough to marriage. People are not putting God first in family anymore. Families are not in churches anymore.
Even if the above exceptions are allowed, our culture and, too often, even the church seem to regard divorce as something far less serious than it is. If marriage were simply a human convention similar to a business partnership or club membership, then people would be free to enter and exit at will. Divorce is not simply two people deciding to part company; it is one or perhaps both of the marriage partners deciding that they will act decisively to end something that God
