Welcome
Divorce is one of the most devastating experiences a person can go through. Erroneous teachings and views on divorce have caused Christians to experience tremendous shame and condemnation. It is time to be set free by the truth of God’s word.
Book Synopsis
“I want my people healed” was the mandate the Lord spoke to Rev. Darius Good. There are many erroneous teachings on the subject of divorce in the church. The majority of these teachings are based on Jesus changing the law of Moses regarding divorce, even though Jesus clearly stated in Matthew 5:17 that He did not come to change the law. Unfamiliarity with the law of Moses have led to conclusions that misinterprets Jesus’ teachings and debates with the Jewish religious leaders. Many teachers on the subject of divorce do not know the difference between the law of adultery and the laws of an adulterous marriage and how this relates to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5 and 19. In this book we will take a look at divorce throughout the scriptures. We will look at family laws and proceedings of the Sanhedrin court established by Moses. We will explore the error in translation that has led to gross misunderstanding of the scriptures, and we will examine Jewish customs, practices, and laws that are overlooked or unknown in current teachings that will bring clarity to Jesus’ teachings on divorce. Many Christians have experienced the devastation of divorce. In addition to hurt and shame, many Christians wrestle with tremendous condemnation. Fresh revelation will bring understanding and freedom from guilt and shame. If you are a divorced Christian that is plagued by condemnation, this book will bring healing and deliverance through the power of God’s word.
