Why She Can Close Her Spirit Part 2

Today we look at an important aspect for the wife. Why you should not close your spirit.

There might be reason to, you may be justified, you may think that is the only option, but I beg in you in the name of Jesus or let me just put it in Kings James Version, I Beseech you, Do not close your spirit!

In the event you have done so, pursue the path of healing and let God bring restoration!

Why should you? Here are a few reasons!

Why You Should Not Close Your Spirit

1. Hell, instead of Help

When you close your spirit against your husband, you simply welcome hell instead of providing the help that you are meant to be to your husband! This will not be your story in Jesus’ name!

Joy will gradually wither, love will be feigned, life will become boring and a once excited and vivacious couple will become mere human caricatures, just going through the motions!

These will affect the entire family on a level you won’t appreciate! Do not close your spirit, rather resolve the issues!

2. Leaving, instead of Cleaving

Listen to me, dear wives, when you are joined together in holy matrimony, you actually become one flesh! Not one spirit. One flesh! The question is, how do you close yourself up to yourself? It’s literally impossible.

When you are “cleaved” already in marriage, it’s tearing apart when you try to “leave” and that comes with a lot of pain and anguish.

It will affect his finances and ultimately your finances. What you are meting out to him in the form of reactions will ultimately come back to you and the children. It’s not worth it!

3. Vulnerable, instead of Enviable

You are meant to be an enviable couple, a model to others, and who others should look up to.

Closing up your spirit will impact you sexually, and that will even make you more vulnerable. Yielding to these vulnerabilities is like opening the door for the devil to cause even more havoc!

It is not worth it!

Go for counseling, therapy, or whatever you need to do so that you can heal and welcome peace back to your home! If you need some form of therapy, reach out to my wife and I and we might be able to help. By all means, do not keep quiet and continue t get bitter! You can’t afford bitterness!

Hebrews 12:15 (KJV)
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

See it amplified version

Hebrews 12:15 (AMPC)
Exercise foresight and be on the watch to look [after one another], to see that no one falls back from and fails to secure God’s grace (His unmerited favor and spiritual blessing), in order that no root of resentment (rancor, bitterness, or hatred) shoots forth and causes trouble and bitter torment, and the many become contaminated and defiled by it–

Good morning!
