Don’t know who this is for but… I feel a very strong urge in my spirit to encourage step-parents everywhere! The Lord says to encourage you in the name of Jesus. Therefore, I speak to that desire in you to wants to give up and throw in the towel because of the constant confusion over the children. Satan’s constant goal is to destroy ANYTHING that God has ordained and God has ordained marriage and family! Although you may not be the biological parent of the children that you provide for…because of your love for God and your spouse, you must not give up. I know that the storms may be raging right now in your house, but hang in and hold on! God hears your heart! Prayerfully press your way deeper into the Father for wisdom and guidance. STOP excusing the madness. Brothers...YOU ARE THE HEAD. Run the house, but do it according to the scriptures. Love your wives as Christ loved the church! Sisters…you are the helpmeet. STOP jumping in that man’s face telling him what he can and cannot do as the head of the house! Proverbs 14:1 teaches us that a wise woman builds her house, but a foolish woman tears it down with her OWN hands! Honor and respect your husbands as mandated by the Holy Scriptures. Children respond to love, yes even tough love! They respond to discipline! They need and will eventually appreciate structure! Stay the divine course….. Whenever even one is out of their divinely mandated place, there will be chaos in the home. So in order to kill the seed of confusion, you must STAND and boldly CURSE the CHAOS at the very root in the name of Jesus!! Men, stop being afraid to lead. Sisters, stop listening to everybody else and talk to your husband! Our homes are being destroyed by the calculating tactics of Satan. People are not your enemies, but the spirit of Satan dwelling within them is! Children don’t run the house…parents do! Whenever you interfere with God’s agenda, you are headed straight for trouble!! Don’t allow the spirit of guilt or shame over a failed marriage to control you any longer. Don’t allow yourselves to be manipulated any longer by children from your previous marriage. For whatever reason, THE MARRIAGE DIDN’T WORK…that’s the end of it! YOU ARE NOW RE-MARRIED and your children MUST respect your spouse. No exceptions! Husbands, take control of your house! Place your marriage in the arms of Jesus and allow Him to minister to it and you! Pray FOR and WITH your families. I don’t speak aimlessly on this subject…but from experience. You see, I too have experienced great challenges that being in a blended family brings. I am the product of the strong hand of a Godly, loving and firm step-father, my husband is a Godly, loving and firm step-father, I am a Godly, loving and firm step-mother so I speak from an abundance of experience. Life happens, but you can make it!! (Read Ephesians 5:22-33) (P. S. My daughter didn’t like it either in the beginning….but thanks be to God and His word, she has fallen in line and is looking pretty good right now!)
