“For what knowest thou, O wife,
whether thou shalt save thy husband?
or how knowest thou, O man,
whether thou shalt save thy wife?”
1st Corinthians 7:16
.
.
.
.
A number of radio question/answer talk-show hosts often get asked the following question…“I’m afraid that my spouse is unsaved, even though we both faithfully attend church together!”
.
And almost without fail, the answer comes back…“Just pray and be patient, and don’t give up your hope for your spouse!”

“Blessed is every one that…walketh in His ways…Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house…”
Psalm 128:1, 3
.
The fact is, there are a whole lot of very faithful churchgoers who have been constantly praying for throughout the years of their marriage.
.
And so, many talk-show callers are struggling for an answer to that one burning question…“Can I save my spouse? And if so, then just how can this be accomplished?”

“FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED”
.
Well, as most all of us understand, the Apostle, Paul, makes abundantly clear that it is only by the grace of God that any soul can be saved.
.
Yes, as Ephesians 2:8 reveals…“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”
.
So then, the obvious answer to today’s burning question is, “No! There’s absolutely nothing that any husband or wife can do to save their own spouse!”

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:”
Hosea 4:6
.
However, the reason why many church-attendees never seem to see their tear-filled prayers for their spouse get answered is most likely found in Lamentations…“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.” Lamentations 3:40
.
The fact is, this above sentence from Lamentations 3:40 gets largely ignored by most parishioners in today’s super-affluent society.

“Let us search & try our ways & turn again to the LORD.”
Lamentations 3:40
.
You see, it is not uncommon for a dedicated seeker-of-the-Lord to NOT follow through with the above command.
.
In other words, far too many church parishioners allow their unsaved spouse to dictate the lifestyle which they both live.
.
Simply put, far too many parishioners try to have the best of both worlds. Oh yes, they may read their Bible each morning.
.
But the sad fact is, they and their spouse live (as already stated) with “one foot in church and the other foot in the world”.

“Ye cannot serve God and mammon!”
Matthew 6:24 & Luke 16:13
.
But Jesus says to all worldly-minded churchgoers…
…”Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God.”
James 4:4
.
God purposely allows an unsaved loved-one to remain in an unsaved condition, so as to hopefully drive that worldly-minded church parishioner to his or her knees, crying out for a deeper 100% devotion to Heaven.
.
.
.
.
.
“Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep!”
.
But again, we must remember that Salvation is the gift of God, “…if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth…” 2nd Timothy 2:25
.
Nevertheless, the needy soul must put his or her own self in the proper environment for God’s Salvation.
.
And just what is that proper environment?
.
Listen as James, Chapter 4 continues…
“Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:
let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and He shall lift you up…in due season.”
James 4:9, 10 & Galatians 6:9
.
The needy soul must continue in this kind of heart-felt supplication until the assurance of Salvation is fully realized!

“Many pastors have destroyed My vineyard,”
Jeremiah 12:10
.
Unfortunately, in today’s apostate church-community, this truth is not being properly emblazoned upon the hearts of parishioners, even as it is written…“O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Isaiah 3:12
.
Yes, today’s churches are misleading their flocks, causing them to remain in ignorance of the true Heaven-blessed remedy for their unsaved loved-one!

“COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE!”
Revelation 18:4
.
But for those who dare come out of the current church-wide apostasy, they just might begin to finally and fully renounce this, the Devil’s kingdom of selfishness.
.
And having done this, they just might begin to claim the following great and precious promise…“And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
.
And once upon the upward pathway, away from this doomed world, they just might begin to see God working in the hearts and lives of their unsaved loved ones!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
THE FLOWER OF HEAVEN CONSTELLATION
.
.
.
“WOMAN ON THE ALTAR” CONSTELLATION…
.
This “Golden Altar” Constellation is only seen in winter through spring, in mid-sky.
.
It is to the south of the “Fleeing Woman Constellation” (AKA Ursa Major or The Big Dipper).
.
The “Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12” Constellation is in the northeastern sky in this sketch.
.
You would be facing east and looking very high up almost to mid-sky to see this constellation group this way.
.
The altar is farther south but still in the eastern sky.
.
This altar itself is commonly known as “Leo Major“, with the smoke rising being “Leo Minor“.
.
A little farther down this page is the sketch of this same constellation in the latter part of winter, when you look at them facing westward.
.
You will notice that what looked like Gospel seed being cast from her left hand and left foot now appears like smoke or incense rising from the altar.
