Are You Equally Yoked?

Many people have been informing me of some of the things that are going on in their relationship. The things which I have heard saddens me but at the same time doesn't surprise me, because no one feels as if they are being mistreated and disrespected, and stays in that relationship. So I asked myself, how are these people claiming to be in the truth, but having the problems that I have heard? Then that brought me to one thing, how are they yoked? So lets dive right into the scriptures and find out that. Question: So what does the bible say concerning people being yoked together? 2 Corinthians 6:14 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? FYI: See this is what a lot of people hear growing up, they are taught they should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, but never taught how to identify unbelievers. When a man and a woman find out they both are fans of a certain actor that is taken as a belief of them having something in common. When in all actuality, one could name a movie by that actor and the other may not like that particular movie the actor starred in, why, because of the concept of the movie. They could recall and interview that their favorite actor did and one may not like that particular interview, cause of the responses that actor gave. Now when one is truly a fan of someone, they like them regardless of their flaws they can't do no wrong, and because of their loyalty to them everything they do is always considered good because it featured them. So how could a man and woman find out them both are fans of a certain actor, and believe that means they have something in common? See people are getting the composition of what they desire in a particular mate, but a composition is only things combined together to form a unified whole. A composition consists of things liked, but having the definition of something determines if you love it or not. When you define something, you determine or identify the essential qualities or meaning of it, you identify what makes it distinct, you detail it until you are able to format an outline of it, and this is not what people are being taught growing up. When an intoxicated man gets behind the wheel of a car, he thinks and believes he is fit and in the condition to be in a moving vehicle. Why, because driving is common but he unaware his vision is impaired, so by him being behind the wheel of a moving vehicle, he is bound to find himself in an accident and end up hurting someone else. Just like a man and a woman who have a composition of a potential mate but not the definition of a mate, this is what makes them intoxicated because their heart is walking after their eyes. So they think and believe they are fit and in the condition to be in a relationship because of the composition of things they have in common, but they are unaware their vision is impaired. So by them being in a relationship, they are bound to find themselves in an accident which they could have avoided, had they understood the definition of a mate before they boarded. This is the format of an unbeliever thats not being taught to the people, they are being giving one understanding which says hey if they don't believe in God, then don't talk to them they are an unbeliever. But they have the understanding that Christmas is Christ's birthday, which on this day people who don't believe in Christ and people who do believe in Christ give each other gifts and yoke together. So its the Spirit of a person that has to be examined, in order to determine if they are an unbeliever. Question: So how does one determine if one is an unbeliever?

2 Corinthians 4:13 - We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; FYI: So where did the precept say we having the same spirit of faith, according to our likes of a certain movie, or likes of a certain television show, or likes of a certain color, or likes of a certain eating place, or likes of a certain song? Nowhere, but yet these are the things the world uses and teaches to determine compatibility, which these things null and void ones spiritual comprehensibility. So when people read be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers, they understand it to mean don't date someone that doesn't believe in God, because the world has conformed their vision to an impaired state of mind. An unbeliever is anyone who doesn't do all that which is written in the bible to do, so if a person is not following the laws and statutes and commandments of the Most High, but yet say they believe in the Most High, then how could that be so if how they live is not according as it is written? That's the definition of an unbeliever! So if in John 14:15 it says - If ye love me, keep my commandments, then how could one who professes to love the Most High choose to be with someone who does not live according to the commandments as it is written? This is how you yoke with an unbeliever, in John 14:24 Christ said - He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. So if a person is not living according to the laws and statutes and commandments of the Most High, then they don't love him, so if they don't love their creator enough to obey him, then how could they love you? They can't, which is why the world teaches the composition of a mate and not the definition of a mate. Why, cause how much money would they make if the people had the same spirit of faith according as it is written in the bible? The bible teaches a man and woman are bound to each other until death, a man and woman coming together according to the things they have in common, in which those things are not according as it is written? Who spends the most money in clubs, who goes to the movies more, who eats out to get to know someone more, who spends the most money on music and love songs, single people. Question: What do they know? Amos 3:3 - Can two walk together, except they be agreed? FYI: They know unless a man and a woman believe they have things in common, they not going to get together. So they give you horoscopes, Soap Operas, the Bachelor, the Bachelorette, Flavor of Love, I Love New York, the Real World, Road Rules, Love & Basketball and other love movies and reality shows that depict people coming together unequally yoked based off the thing they have in common. Ask yourself, how come none of these things are centered around the bible if the world wants people to follow the bible? Why do you think they show you people hooking up based on the things they have in common, and going to church together, and breaking up as if the things they hooked up based on are not the same anymore? Because they trying to give you a false perception of a way of life that is not according as it is written. These shows got relationships just like shoes, people getting into them and taking them off all the time, giving off the understanding that if one does not fit you can always get another one. So you see people getting in and out of relationships like they in a department store trying on shoes, in which they will buy a pair and then take it back once they don't want it anymore, same thing in these relationships. They find fault in the shoe or someone dislikes of the shoe or a new shoe catches their eye, then they do not want the shoe anymore they tired of it all of a sudden. See if they would have examined the quality of the shoe according to how the manufacturer made it to be worn and the size written for it, then their focus would not have been on the design of it, or the color of it, and they would have known if the shoe would have suited their need instead of

their want. Same thing for relationships. Question: What does the bible say we ought to be? Philippians 2:2 - Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. FYI: When a man and woman are likeminded, that means they of similar spirit, and 2 Corinthians 4:13 says we having the same spirit of faith according as it is written therefore we believe. Therefore, to get with someone who does not live according to what's written in all the bible, is to yoke up differently and when you do that, youre not of the same spirit because light has no fellowship with darkness. So how can you say I believe according as it is written, and 1 John 1:5 says in him is no darkness, but yet you get with a person who's not of the same spirit of him who you believe in? That is darkness, so how are you a believer in which a believer is one who is in the body of Christ? Youre not, you have been deceived! FYI: Be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers, in whom we read above that the Most High said - if you love me keep my commandments. Therefore, in order for a person to keep the commandments of the Most High, they to fear, then they can believe according as it is written then they can live according to his word exemplifying their love for him. Therefore, if you get with a person that does not live according to the commandments, then you are with someone who does not have love. What is love - 1 John 4:8 - He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. So they do not even know the Most High who is love, so that is why they not keeping his commandments because they are unbelievers. This is the type of person you cannot yoke with, how can you have the same love when one obeys their creator and the other one does not? This is how cheating comes in, physical abuse, hatred towards each other, arguments, financial issues, cussing each other, lying to each other, stealing from each other, irreconcilable differences, divorce, and then child support. The key to every relationship is a man and woman having the spirit of the Most High in them. Question: What else? 1 Corinthians 1:10 - Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. FYI: See before two people can come together, they got to have knowledge of their creator and fear him. Therefore, they learn to love him by fearing him which in the process they learn his laws and statutes and commandments, which then leads to them believing according as it is written, which then leads to them developing the understanding of their roles and positions they must first play in serving him, then together as a union. See by them having this understanding, they speak the same thing which is believe the same thing, they of one accord and one mind, therefore eliminating any chance for division between them. By both of them serving their creator, and by them fearing and loving him, they have the same spirit of faith and love, therefore are they perfectly joined in the same mind and judgment, thus making them have a relationship according as it is written. Question: What does it take in order to get this perfect relationship? Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

FYI: See at birth we are all conformed to the ways of this world, and we are taught according as the world is and not according as it is written. Which then we grow up to become teens and adults, and because of our lack of that which is written, we enter into relationships as this world has taught us to. For example when your pencil breaks you get another one, when your shirt rips you get another one, when something isnt to your pleasing, you get another one. In which this pattern becomes embedded into our conscious, therefore when we get into a relationship and things are not going good or how we like them, we revert to our conscious, which has been taught to just get another one. And you know this from the world's prospective, because what do the people of the world tell you, you do not have to be with them if you not happy or things not going how you planned. Then they say God has somebody for everybody, in, which uplifts you simply because it coincides with the belief that has been given to your conscious. FYI: You see Satan is the god of this world, so of course its going to be setup according to the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, in which the bible tells us in 1 John 2:16 is not of the Father, but is of the world. See before you even come out of the womb, Satan has it setup to where you will become conformed to this world, in which to be conformed, is to be fashioned by it, educated by it, religion by it. Which therefore you speak according, dress according, think according, love according, hate according, comprehend according, all to the ways of the world. This the Most High knows, which is why he commands us to be transformed. When you transform something, you changed its appearance, its structure, its condition, its nature, its character, in which in biblical sense you do all this to change into the image of whom you were created to be before you came out of the womb, this is how a person comes to understand their purpose. It is taken from you at birth but given back to you upon rebirth, which is repentance for the remissions of your sins, and water baptism for the receiving of the Spirit of the Most High, this is how you renew your mind. Now by walking in the image of whom you were created to be, and having the Spirit of the Most High, you are now able to determine and understand the will of the Most High. You cannot get this understanding and wisdom unless you lay down something. Question: What is that something which one must lay down? Luke 9:23 - And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. FYI: That something in which you must lay down folks is your own carnal desires, which are of the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life that you have been conformed since birth to have. You must step outside of yourself in order to see something greater than what you have and greater than who you are, then you can begin to understand who you could become. Then you can take up your cross daily which is after the steps the Father laid out that are written. Taking up your cross is a lifestyle its not a chain on your neck, Christ nor the prophets or apostles ever had a chain around their neck, thats a dead mentality of the world, its idolatry. Being in total submission unto laws and statutes and commandments of the Most High, is how you follow him, and guess what happens when you do that? Deuteronomy 18:13 - Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. So how does being totally in submission unto his word make you perfect with him? 2 Samuel 22:33 - God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. Because by being totally in submission unto his laws and statutes and commandments, he becomes your strength and power your foundation, therefore he maketh your way perfect. So what is the way, which he maketh perfect? 2 Chronicles 19:9 - And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. That which he maketh perfect is your heart, because without a perfect heart you cannot love him therefore you

cannot serve him which means, he does not even recognize you. You got to be serious folks when you talking about serving the Most High, you can't afford to leave room for error, because in him is no error, so how can his spirit be in you if you have room for error? It can't, this the world knows which is why through the world Satan teaches no one can be perfect we all human we going to always make mistakes, folks that's lie you going to hell if you not perfect in heart. Question: What does the scripture say the Most High will not do? Job 8:20 - Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers: FYI: When you following the Most High according as it is written that makes you perfect, people want to bring you down because they envy not being able to measure up to the standard. You can't afford to drop standard for nobody folks your soul is on the line you messed up just to please somebody else, you going to bust hell wide open. Why does the Most High say lean not your own understanding? Isaiah 55:8 - For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Because how you understand and comprehend, is not how the Most High understand and comprehend, so you can't say see the Most High knows my heart, he understands, because that's lie. That is the way you understand and think, which is why the Most High said your ways are not his ways. What do a man's way to lead to? Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Man ways lead to death, so because the Most High loves you and does not want to see you destroyed and in hell, he simply asks you to trust him hope in him, lean towards him, why? Psalm 18:30 - As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. Why, because his way is perfect it is like the cereal its being kix tested, and mother approved lol. So if you following his way you have no choice but to become perfect, which is why Christ said - Matthew 5:48 - Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. By you being perfect, you are in the image of the Most High because he is perfect, so do not let this rotten society or no hypocrite and faultfinder and believer pretender mess you up. So now you should understand how to have a perfect relationship with your creator and self, and then with one of the opposite sex. Conclusion Sirach 13:18 - What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? and what peace between the rich and the poor? Once you figure this out, then you'll understand the answer to And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? Sirach 2:15 - They that fear the Lord will not disobey his Word; and they that love him will keep his ways. Sirach 2:16 - They that fear the Lord will seek that which is well, pleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the law. Sirach 25:1 - In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together. Shalom brothers and sisters!
