The abusive husband 

By: Jo Smith…..   April 2, 2020

Romans 7 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 

2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

 5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

 6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

To those who are bound by or to the LAW, you cannot be ‘married’ to Christ while you are ‘married ‘ to the law.

These two are contrary to each other and cannot be together.  If you go back to law, as Paul said, you fall from Grace, or Christ.

You cannot be married to both at the same time.  You must ‘divorce’ law to become married to Christ.

In order to become married to Christ, you must obey the things taught in the Books of Acts.  You must first repent of sins and be baptized in water, in the name of Jesus  Christ for the remission of those sins.  Sin cannot enter into the Body of Christ.

You must then be filled with the Baptism of the Holy  Ghost in order to be baptized into the Body of Christ.  We are the body of Christ.  We are members of Christ.

But you cannot be in the body of Christ while married to or ruled over by LAW.

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

So you wonder what is the law;  how am I under the law?  Well when you are taught that you HAVE TO DO THIS OR THAT, that is law.

When you are taught that you HAVE to be at a certain ‘church’ at a certain time, each time, you are under LAW.

When you are believing that you MUST TITHE to that church or preacher, you are under or married to LAW.

The true Church in Acts, said they had all thing common and counted it all as belonging to Christ.  There was no command to tithe.  In fact the ministers of that church are commanded to FREELY GIVE what God has given to them. .  .  meaning their messages, or gifts, or such.  They are not to charge for these things, as the Things of God are FREE.

If your church requires or teaches you that you must tithe, that is a cruel law husband.  You are married to law.

In Christ, we are all one.  This means we are all the same or equals.  No one is to rule over anyone else or be paid.

No one person is to do all the preaching or teaching or anything else of worship to God. Every member is just as necessary and important as all the others.  No difference.  If you are not in this kind of ‘group’ you are married to an abusive husband,  Law.

The law has no grace or mercy.  Under law every transgression must be punished.  If you pick up a stick on the sabbath, by law you must be stoned to death.  If you disobey your husband you are to be stoned to death.  If you commit adultery you must be stoned to death. etc. etc.

So now if you are in a ‘church’ where you must obey that pastor, priest or prophet and he rules over you, you are married to law and cannot be married to Christ.

You are taught that you cannot rise above your pastor;  he is your mediator to God;  he has to feed you;  you cannot do this yourself;  you are not able to go to God for yourself, your pastor must do this for you….you are married to law, an abusive husband.

He is abusive for he is stopping you from having the freedom and glory that Jesus Christ died to give us.  Your abusive husband cheats you out of all the blessings that the Husband Christ gives to his bride.

You may say, well how can I know?  If you are under any obligation to that system you are in, you are married to LAW.  If you owe allegiance to that org or church, must be there when they require if of you, must pay them, etc, you are under LAW, THE ABUSIVE HUSBAND AND CANNOT BE MARRIED TO CHRIST.

You must first DIVORCE that law or be DEAD to the law, TO BE MARRIED TO CHRIST.  AS long as you are subject to that ruling over you, you are not able to be married to Christ.

Your abusive husband deceives you into believing that he is christ and you are married to Christ,  but it is a delusion.  We are FREE who are married to Christ.  We are led of the Spirit of God that he gave us and do not have to obey some man.  We need not that some man teach us for the anointing of Christ teaches us.

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress:

As long as you are bound by anything to that org or law, and you try to be married to Christ, you are an adulteress.  If you keep idol holidays, as your abusive husband requires, you are and adulteress if you claim to be wife of Christ.  You cannot be married to both.

That law husband binds you down;  tells you that you cannot go over there;  you must be here each time we are here.  You must pay me your tithes.  You must obey me. etc.  that is law and the abusive husband.  You are married to law and cannot be married to Christ.  You shall know the truth and the TRUTH will set you FREE.

There is no freedom under that abusive husband, law.

All churches are now bound by that law abusive husband and telling lies to the world that they are the Christ.

Did Christ do Xmess?  Did he do Easter egg hunts or rabbits?  Did he do halloween?  Did he do New Years parties or singings?

You are in bondage to these elements of the world that are totally contrary to Christ so you are married to the abusive husband, law. 

There is much more to this message, but I will close for now.

Amen to the truth of God!
