DIVORCE IS A SIN
"For I hate divorce!” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.” (Malachi 2:16, NLT)
Divorce is a curse. Let’s not beat around the bush—God hates divorce, especially when it involves the couple He Himself joined together. He knows best. Divorce breaks hearts, homes, and lives. It’s the work of Satan. Jesus said, “What God has joined together, let no one separate.” If you truly follow Jesus, then this truth must guide you. When you follow Him, you guard your heart from the heartbreak that comes from walking outside His will.
Divorce is not just about separation from a spouse—it’s a demonic spirit that seeks to separate you from Jesus and from God’s covenant promises. It is vile. It wants you to end up lost, trapped in adultery and rebellion. It is the spirit of the antichrist.
Marriage is spiritual warfare. It is a declaration to the world and to the devil that you are serious about your covenant with God and with your spouse. You are united in love, under God's authority. His power protects and sustains your union. A godly marriage reflects what has already transpired in your hearts before Him. It is His will.
If God truly joined you together, then divorce is not an option. Check your heart. If your marriage is going through pain and struggle, don’t run—pray. Stand in the gap for your spouse and let God bring the outcome. He is the Restorer of broken things.
To the man considering divorce: if you left your faithful, godly wife for another woman who is not from God, you will not find peace. You’ve opened yourself to a curse. Consider the example of King Ahab, who abandoned his calling, morals, and marriage for Jezebel—a wicked woman who led him and the nation into idolatry and rebellion. Ahab did evil in God’s sight, and it provoked the Lord.
In the end, both Ahab and Jezebel faced judgment. God anointed Jehu to destroy them and their entire household. Jezebel’s witchcraft and manipulation came to nothing. Let this be a warning: do not forsake the wife God gave you, and do not entertain the seduction of a counterfeit relationship.
God's covenant love is written on your heart. He does not change His mind about you. As he declared through the prophet Malachi:
“I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.” (Malachi 3:6, NIV)
God is faithful. He does not want your soul destroyed. Do not agree with the demon of divorce. Do not align with the devil’s plot to steal your family, your peace, or your destiny.
Instead, submit to God and His Holy Spirit. Stand firm. Resist the devil with truth: divorce is demonic wisdom from hell. God’s desire is healing, wholeness, and love. If your spouse has abandoned you, and you remained faithful, know this—it is not your fault. God will release you from further obligation by His grace and bring peace to your heart.
Let them go. God is a God of peace, not confusion. And yet, while he gives them time to repent, He still keeps the door open for the prodigal spouse to return in repentance. Our God is merciful.
Shalom means peace and well-being—God’s perfect will for your life. Divorce is from Satan. It is an act of violence against the heart and soul. To the man bringing divorce: do not break your wife’s heart—or God’s. Love your wife. Love your God. He has a greater plan of healing and restoration waiting for you.
