A dear Brother of mine by the name of Joel Lunsford visited Brother Lindsey in Raliegh, N.C. before Brother Lindsey passed. The fellowship and communion in the Spirit was told to this writer to be... beautiful and God inspired.
Joel's visit with Brother Lindsey was accompanied with his wife to be, Joanne who shares the beauties of marriage at this present hour with Brother Joel! Holy Hubert Lindsey always held a special place in his heart for all women. He loved his wife Phoebe more than anything on this planet! Joel informed me that Brother Lindsey "lit up" when his soon to be wife held hands and conversed with Brother Lindsey.
Before the nice visit ended Joel asked Brother Lindsey for some good Christian advice pertaining to a soon to be,"marriage" with Joanne. Holy Hubert stated boldly from his bedridden condition with a pure heart full of love, " Tell your wife that you love her everyday... and kiss her often!"
Many years later (today!) Joel and I analyzed that prophetic statement given by Brother Lindsey from Britthaven nursing home! How beautifully it has been remembered and cherished! How true that statement is! How Biblical that God given statement is in the beauties of God's Grace Covenant we live in today!
Why?
Here's Why!
Eph 5:25-27...Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Loving your wife like Christ loved the Church is only a blessing of the Great Grace Covenant we "now" have in the Church, the body of Christ! This love we Christians have for our wives is a treasure that has never been before... in the history of humanity. Even Jewish Law permitted man to divorce...but not Christianity! Why? The Christian marriage is based on husband's loving their wives like Christ loved the Church! The husband's love for the wife, is a treasure close to the love we have for God Almighty. Husband's (in the scope of love) give your "all" to your wives. Let your wives know that you love them daily! Kiss them often!
This writer thankfully treasures Brother Lindsey's sound Christian advice for the sanctity of marriage. I also appreciate joel sharing this with me just an hour ago. I respect Brother Lindsey's Apostleship and carry on that ministry today bringing honor to Christ! I also honor the truth of God's Word and the fellowship I have with my Brothers! Glory to the Christ that makes husbands the men they ought to be! By the way God "restored" this writers marriage! It's a miracle in itself! This writer thanks God for his restored marriage every day of his Christian life. I also tell my wife I love her! I need to kiss her more often. I'm glad Joel brought this to my attention today! Glory!
God Bless you all! Thank you for coming to the Churches on Trial where we stand for truth and holy living. May the Lord bless all your marriages!
Praise the Lord! My wife and I tell each other every day, and during every phone call that we love each other. We kiss every day too...I am a blessed man. With the way the times are today, one never knows when he/she will be called home. Never have to look back with guilt and feel like I should have said or did something different. Always live as if this will be the last time to see a particular loved one alive. God's love in our hearts will reveal itself to others, no excuses, a life that manifests patience, mercy and forgiveness...just as the Father does toward us this very moment. Praise the Lord!
