Recently a prophetic word was shared with me, where the Lord stressed the Focus of the Family. God is very concerned with the state and status of the Family right now, particularly in America. There's been an attack on the Family for decades now, and it's time that the church fights back and restores the Foundation and the Value of the Family. The Institution of the Family is the Foundation of any society. Therefore, if a society loses the Foundation of Family, it in essence loses the basis of its social foundation. For this reason, it's time for us to Focus on the Family.
The God we serve is a God of Order. The Family Institution is now operating out of Divine Order. Let's first start with Pregnancies. Children are not supposed to be born out of wedlock. Let me say it again: children are not supposed to be born out of wedlock. Which means, if you're not married, you're not supposed to be getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant. People having babies and getting pregnant is now the norm in our society. This is an attack against the Family. But what is it that leads to this particular social phenomenon? People having sex outside of marriage. So let's establish this basic principle that many people, including many Christians, have failed to adhere to: it is not the will of God for people to have sex outside the boundaries of marriage. Which means, if you're not married, you shouldn't be having sex. I don't know too many people (there are a few) who have waited to engage in sexual intercourse until they were legally married. Pre-marital sex and promiscuous behavior is almost to be expected in our society today. But, once again, sex before marriage is an attack against The Family. You can't appropriately address the problem if you don't get to the root. We must promote the Sanctity of Sex in order to restore the Sacredness of Marriage.
With the dynamic of pre-marital sex and babies born out of wedlock, you then have fathers and mothers who are not joined in Holy Matrimony. Therefore, right off the bat, you're dealing with a Fractured Family. There are too many children being born in relational situations where the mother and father are not committed to each other as husband and wife. We're not talking about some "significant other" stuff, we're talking about "Marriage". So this dynamic automatically puts the Family in a fractured, fragmented state that does overwhelming harm to the children emotionally and psychologically. We must make a shift saints. We must advocate and promote these Fundamentals of Family or the Foundation required for the Restoration of the Family will not take place.
