LIFE AFTER A DIVORCE

Have you ever experienced getting dumped in a relationship and not knowing how you were going to make it? Often times, the tragedy of ending a so-called good relationship can be painful at first, but over time, you learn to deal with the hurt. In many cases, the ending of one relationship makes it difficult for you to trust in the next one. The same questions surface in your mind such as can I trust him/her, will they treat me nice, and do they have the same goals and aspirations as I do? There are many more reasons, but leaving a relationship and starting a new one can be scary but also exciting.


Married couples who decide that their relationship isn't worth salvaging will choose to either separate or file for a divorce. In other words, they've both agreed that the best thing to do for the relationship is to sever it. Some relationships end without any drama, but there are others that are dramatic and traumatic. You know how it goes - one person doesn't want the other to leave and will do whatever it takes to make their partner's life a living hell. I want you to get into your spirit that you don't have to be married to divorce yourself from something unproductive and unfulfilling.

In this spiritual journey, once you give your life to God, you've divorced yourself from the enemy. Let me say it this way. When you make up your mind that you're tired of living in the devil's family and want to get your life right, you notify Satan you're divorcing him. Please don't be naïve into thinking that Satan is going to allow you to leave without a fight. In fact, he'll always fight and scheme to get you back because he hates that you've decided to live for God. Leaving Satan's family means that you have a new life; a life filled with happiness, joy, and peace. This new life means that you have power on the inside that can help you deal with anything on the outside. When you divorce yourself from Satan and allow God to be the head of your life, you can begin living.

In writing to the people of Galatia, the apostle Paul helps us understand what it means to live in the Spirit. For Paul, when we divorce ourselves from Satan and living according to the flesh and decide to live for God, we'll experience "Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." That's shouting material because you can live a better and more fulfilled life after your divorce. As I close this message, I encourage you to divorce yourself from Satan and anything that is contrary to the will of God. You can have a better life, if you allow God to guide you. This is the time to repent and once you do, get ready to start living.

“Let me play the devil's advocate and ask if there is a mediation process in this transition? It seems there has to be. Divorcing a spouse has stages, and emotional pitfalls. Following the pattern of logic an instantaneous transition seems astounding. How do old habits, and family patterns suddenly fall away in Christ? Do they?” –Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories
