Dear man of God,
I read your message about marrying by the will of God. Can two believers also get married without the will of the Lord.
Please reply
Regards…

Hi Suma,
You ask – “Can two believers also get married without the will of the Lord?”
The answer is “yes.” Believers can do many things without the will of God, individually or together. God has given us the example of Israel in the Scriptures of the many ways His people can go astray. Paul wrote about this to the Corinthians:
1 Corinthians 10:1-14 MKJV
(1) And, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.
(2) And all were baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
(3) and all ate the same spiritual food,
(4) and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
(5) But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were scattered in the wilderness.
(6) And these things were our examples, that we should not be lusters after evil, as they also lusted.
(7) Nor should we be idolaters, even as some of them, as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
(8) Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them fornicated, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.
(9) Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him and were destroyed by serpents.
(10) Nor murmur as some of them also murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.
(11) And all these things happened to them as examples; and it is written for our warning on whom the ends of the world have come.
(12) So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
(13) No temptation has taken you but what is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear it.
(14) Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
Are you questioning your own marriage, or proposed nuptials?
