welcome back to our bible study.
I was listening to another preacher and he said: do not expect marriage to be sweet as the day you got married. When you get married you go for your honey moon, everything is sweet, and you enjoy the honey until the bees that brought the honey come out and start stinging you. So I went to the Lord and I told Him: Lord what about the bees that brought the honey? And the Lord gave me some scriptures: they surrounded me like bees, they were all quenched like fire of thorns; because in the name of the Lord I will destroy them (Psalm 118:12). So I already had the promise that all those bees, even killer bees, I will destroy them in the name of the Lord Jesus, I will burn them alive with the fire of the word of God that comes out of my mouth. So I asked God but what about the stings of those bees Lord, and their venoms? For bees like killer bees have strong venom and it kills instantly anybody they sting, what if they stung me before I destroy them?
Then the word of the Lord came again to me, saying: O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the Law. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1Corinthians 15:55-57). Praise the Lord! Now you understand why Jesus came to fulfill the law for us and its handwritings that were against us He nailed them on the cross so that the strength of the venom of those killer bees was neutralized (Colossians 2:14). Even when we sin against God or against our spouse, which is the sting of those killer bees, Jesus gave us a remedy for that saying: if we confess our sins to God and to our spouse, God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1John 1:9); and our spouse also would be able to forgive us because God will work in him or her both to be willing to forgive us and to do that act of forgiveness, for the good pleasure of God (Philippians 2;13).
Then I said to God thank you for telling me how to destroy the bees and how to neutralize the deadly venom of those killer bees; but you know I have been stung before by bees and I know that it hurts, is there not a way to even stop all those bees from even stinging me once? Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Above all, take the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked (Ephesians 6:16).
In our Psalm 118:12 it said: they surrounded me like bees, they were all quenched like fire (aysh: burning, fiery, fire, flaming, hot) of thorns; because in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. A thorn is a tree or shrub armed with spines or sharp ligneous shoots according to the Webster Dictionary. A dart is a short pointed lance, a missile weapon it pierces and wounds, according to Webster Dictionary. Hence the Psalmist is telling us that those bees that are surrounding us are armed with a weapon; he likens the sting of bee to fiery thorns or fiery darts. Not just it pierces and wounds but it also causes swelling and burns and it leads to death like the fiery serpents that did bite the people in the wilderness (Numbers 21:6).
Thank God all those fiery thorns, burning thorns or fire of thorns that represents the stings of bees were quenched. And Paul tells you above all take the shield of faith and you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, in other words all the fiery thorns that represent the stings of the bees. The bees that surround you are the wicked. So do not fear, keep the shield o your faith up and it shall be well with your relationship with Jesus and with your relationship with your spouse.
The truth is that you are seeing the bees but the person who is sanding them is Satan. Therefore be sensible and vigilant, because your adversary the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour; whom firmly resist in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions in the world are being completed in your brotherhood (1Peter 5:8-9). Not only you will slay that roaring lion that is trying to destroy your relationship with God and your relationship with your spouse, but you will also destroy all the bees he sent against you and out of that slain lion you will draw honey.
As it is written: behold, a young lion roared to meet Samson (Judges 14:5). And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he tore it as he would have torn a kid; and nothing was in his hand (Judges 14:6). And after a time Samson returned to take his wife, and he turned aside to see the dead body of the lion. And behold! A swarm of bees and honey was in the dead body of the lion. And he took some of it in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother. And he gave to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the dead body of the lion (Judges 14:8-9).
Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness (Judges 14:14). Yes you see the enemy thought evil against you and your relationship with God and with your spouse but God meant I for good to bring to pass as it is today, to save much people (Genesis 50:20). That roaring lion you will slay, its bees you will destroy in the name of Jesus, and you will quench all their fiery darks by your faith in Jesus which comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Not only you will enjoy the honey but you will also bring that honey to people around you, to your parents, to your friends and to everybody who asks you of that honey. And you will tell everybody what you did to have that honey and have it more abundantly so that you have enough to share.
Whatever your situation is right now in your relationship with God and in your relationship with your spouse, I have come to tell you: the Lord your God has come to deliver you out of the hand of your captors and the house of bondage, to bring you out of that bondage situation, to a good land, a large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey (Exodus 3:8). The Lord will feed you also with the finest of the wheat; and with honey out of the rock He will satisfy you (Psalm 81:16).
The Lord has promise that in your marriage you will be able to say to each other: Your lips, My spouse, drop like the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon (Songs 4:11). Butter and honey you shall eat until you know to refuse the evil and choose the good (Isaiah 7:15). And it will be, from the plentiful supply of milk they (the young cow and the sheep) shall give, you shall eat butter; for butter and honey shall everyone eat who is left in the land (Isaiah 7:22). So be it in your relationship with the God head and with your spouse, in Jesus name, Amen!
Dear brethren it our time to shine, God wants to perform this first miracle in our lives just like it was the beginning of the signs Jesus did (john 2:11). He wants to show Himself strong on our behalf because out heart is longs for Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). He has kept the best wine for the end; your best is yet to come. The path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more or brighter and brighter unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). May the Gory of Jesus be made manifest in our lives from this day forward. The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
