What is Kingdom Marriage?

Many of you were with me in July and August for 40 Days of Declarations, and since then, I have been asked to send those emails to other people who want to pray and make declarations for “Kingdom Marriages.”   Rather than re-sending emails, I believe we are to continue making declarations, so most of the original 40 Days will be edited, expanded and posted this blog, beginning today.  

What are the declarations?   It has been on my heart that we are to speak OUT LOUD the Word and will of God over Kingdom Marriages.  The declarations are primarily targeted for the men & women not yet in marriages, but also for those who are married, to strengthen and empower their marriages.    

This is about our destinies - God's call and plan for each of our lives.  

Last night while enjoying the marriage celebration of Ian and Jeannie, I asked the question, “What is a Kingdom Marriage?”   

I would love to hear your comments and input on this question, but here is the beginning of my working definition:  

“A Kingdom Marriage is a man and woman who have both submitted their lives to Jesus Christ as the Lord and King, and through their marriage, they will bring the Kingdom of God to this earthly realm, as it is in Heaven.”  

I also agree with God’s Word when He said, “It is not good that man should be alone”, and therefore I believe that God’s before-the-fall will for us is marriage. The word “man” in Genesis 2:18 is one of the 4 Hebrew words for man, and it means “humankind, male and female.” Therefore, God said it is not good for man OR woman to be alone.

Making declarations for Kingdom Marriages, is to follow the model of the Father of Faith, Abraham,

“...in the sight of God, in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead, and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.   [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised.”  (Romans 4:17-18 Amplified)

Making declarations will give us all hope, so that we will have the faith and expectation that we will see the promises of God fulfilled. 

“You are able to see beyond your circumstances and the things that make for our destruction. You may see fear – don't enter it; you may comprehend depression – don't apprehend it. See the invisible and make it visible by speaking it and living it.  God is speaking life, prosperity, deliverance and abundance for this great land.  America, you are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. I encourage all of you to speak life over our nation.”     Kim Clement, The Elijah List July 11, 2011

And we are to speak LIFE into the destiny of marriages.  

There is a lot of fear for people dating, and a lot of disappointment.  I happen to know from experience!   But I am choosing to no longer enter in to the disappointment.   Are you with me?  

When together we speak the promises of God, we will create change, and we will see things shift.  We are made in the image of God, and our words have the power to create.  The Word of God is POWERFUL, and speaking His Word out-loud will build your faith.  "Faith comes by hearing!"  So in order to hear, you need to speak.  

"Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing,  Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."     Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJ
