become loose, as problems always arise within any human relationship, but they will not easily
separate because He is the joining force.
You may be thinking, “You do not
know us, though, we are too far
gone.” Regardless of how much
has separated the two of you,
nothing can rise against the one
who stands between the two of
you. Let me say that again: No
matter what has separated you,
He stands between you. God is
the glue of any everlasting relationship. No matter the time
spent, feelings changed, or trust
lost, when taking authority in
the name of Jesus over a relationship, you give room for the
Restorer to weave His authority
amid your relationship again. As
He continues to work within our

hearts and minds, we can see
the loose two stranded braid becoming strong as the third intertwines its love among the two.
This is not limited to just walking
in church together on Sundays.
Sitting there right next to each
other though feeling as though
you are miles apart, only to return to your car, return to your
home to find that nothing has
changed is not true progress.
That, my friend, is called lukewarm. Let’s put it this way. Let’s
say you had a goal of losing five
pounds. Would you achieve this
goal by periodically going to the
gym, maybe spinning on a bicycle without breaking a sweat,
or if you went consistently and
elevated your heart rate to
practice a good, thorough exercise. Which option would better

achieve your goal? You see, you
are missing pieces. Just as the
person who only fights toward
achieving the goal by minimal
efforts, the couple who only enters a church facility on Sundays
does not rebuild their relationship. Jesus is the purest gentlemen. He will not invade your relationship, He must be invited.
Therefore, we do not merely visit
His house to fix what needs it in
our homes, rather we invite Him
to invade our homes so that His
presence is filled wall to wall.
By taking authority back into our
lives, back into our relationships,
we are seeking Him wholeheartedly, together. This looks
something like praying together,
reading God’s word together,
loving God more so that you
can love each other best. Luke
10:19 states, “Look, I have given
you authority over all the power
of the enemy, and you can walk
among snakes and scorpions
and crush them. Nothing will injure you.” Before Jesus left this
earth, He placed His authority
within our hands. We have the
authority of the everlasting King,
though we let it lie dormant due
to our lack of placing our efforts
in the wrong place. We put all
our efforts in the two, and not the
three.
The missing piece to your seemingly hopeless puzzle in your
lost love is not the loss itself, it’s
the need for God to be at the
center again. If you are seeking,
seek harder. Just when you think
you’ve begun to understand Him,
there meets the realization that
you have not even come close.
The closer the two move toward
Him, the closer you will move toward each other.
