See How Familiarity Has Replaced Family- The Dying Church
I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. (Luke 15:7)
Heaven does not seek individuals who believe they are doing God a favor through their service. It is not God who requires people to fulfill His divinity; rather, it is humanity that needs God for existence.
Jesus illustrated this concept through the parable of the lost sheep, revealing that a significant number of church attendees may not truly experience the kingdom of God. Over Ninety-Nine! This revelation is indeed startling.
Do not assume that your service to God is a favor to Him. It is you who genuinely requires His presence.
Salvation is not merely about being acquainted with God; it is about being part of His family. Familiarity breeds a lack of respect and obedience, whereas true familial relationships foster honesty and adherence.
The Family Structure is Deteriorating
Currently, it is evident that the global family structure is gradually declining. Familiarity has supplanted genuine familial bonds.
This shift has allowed familiar spirits to infiltrate the hearts of many. Familiar spirits embody the essence of witchcraft, reminiscent of the Spirit of Saul and the Spirit of Jezebel.
In Revelation chapter 2, Jesus identified a familiar spirit within the church: "Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce" (Revelation 2:20).
Today, one can observe families where individuals show little concern for one another. This phenomenon is a direct consequence of familiar spirits or familiarity. Some individuals express disdain for marriage, claiming they desire no attachments.
Others opt for a "baby mama" and "baby daddy" lifestyle instead of committing to a traditional family structure. Society is increasingly embracing familiarity while rejecting the concept of family.
Loneliness has escalated into a significant issue in contemporary life. The essence of true community is gradually fading.
Ninety-nine percent of family structures have been compromised.
Familiar spirits represent a force of comparison, envy, hatred, gender conflict, strife, and demonic or witchcraft surveillance. Experiencing dreams of being pursued often indicates that familiar spirits are monitoring your life’s progress. This is a prevalent issue today.
Ninety-Nine are familiar, while only one is truly family.

Do you really believe that marriages are made in heaven?
Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman blessed by God for the purpose of love, and family. The purpose of marriage is not sex, but love and family. Family is important to God. God visited Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden as family to fellowship with them (Genesis 3).
Family is that fellowship between God, man and his wife. God also visited Abraham and his wife Sarah as a family (Genesis 18). In family He reveals himself perfectly to us. Family is what is important to God when we look at marriage. Love is another virtue of marriage. Jesus is the custodian of love. LOVE according to John 3:16 is God giving his Son, that's sacrifice. God gave the Word to the world. In a family God expect the man to be the custodian of love. The man should be the lover while the woman should submit to him in accordance to the will of God.
There is no story in the bible where people get married in heaven. Jesus only gave us the parable of the ten virgins to describe his marriage with the church (the bride). Sincerely, no one marries in Heaven. The Sadducee, I call them Sad to see tried Jesus with a question about the resurrection (Matthew 22). However, Jesus replied them that no one marries in Heaven, rather they all would become angels of God. No marriage in heaven as we do on earth.
God Choosing a Wife or Husband For You
As for the point of God choosing a wife or husband for you, God's will should be our desire and purpose on earth. God chooses the person that compliments you spiritually, therefore what God has joined together let no man put asunder. A lot of people marry outside the will of God including some pastors and today their marriages are hell or have crumbled. God knows the heart of everybody. We are blind in that aspect, so we are not capable to know the perfect man or woman for us. Marrying anything is dangerous!
A good wife or husband can come from the will of God, that's Heaven. Several scriptures in the old testaments pointed many a time when the Lord warned the Israelite against marrying certain women and men. Getting married to them would corrupt them and their seed (children). These men are women are from idolatry background, and knew not the way of the Lord. The Moabite women are seductresses whose intention were to defile the men of Israel. If you choose a wife without God's will you might end up with a Jezebel.
Do You Really Believe That Marriages Are Made in Heaven?
Marriages are ordained by Heaven, but Heaven doesn't make marriages as in conduct weddings.
