Summary
In this episode, we talk about the dangerous spiritual condition of indecision in marriage and why wavering faith keeps so many spouses trapped in cycles of delay, frustration, and false comfort.So many husbands and wives believe they are “just taking their time,” waiting for the right moment, the right response, or the right conditions—but indecision is not wisdom. It is often spiritual blindness, unbelief, and resistance to the promises of God.We break down the difference between double-mindedness, indecision, and wavering faith, and why Scripture makes it clear that your “yes” and your “amen” matter. Matthew 5, Hebrews 10, Romans 4, 2 Corinthians 1, and Romans 8 all reveal the same truth: when you lose sight of God’s promise, you begin making false vows, flesh-driven decisions, and agreements with fear instead of faith.This episode will challenge you to examine where your decisions in marriage are actually coming from.Are they rooted in God’s promises…or are they rooted in fear, offense, comfort, pride, and self-preservation?We also talk about the difference between spouses who are truly ready for healing and restoration versus those who are still operating from the flesh. There is a visible difference in heart posture when someone has made the decision: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”If you are standing for your marriage, contending for restoration, or trying to break destructive cycles in your home, this episode will confront the places where indecision has been costing you more than you realize.Your marriage does not need more hesitation.It needs your yes.Your only response to the promises of God should be:Amen.

| 0:00.0 | I want to talk about what we decide or decree in our marriage or over our marriage. |
| 0:05.5 | One of the early distinctions that we had to make as we were teaching things concerning |
| 0:09.9 | the spiritual condition of double-mindedness was the difference between the condition |
| 0:14.8 | itself and indecision and wavering faith. Those are entirely different things aside from the condition |
| 0:22.6 | of double-mindedness itself. So when it comes to indecision, indecision is demonic. And that's at any |
| 0:29.2 | stage or season of marriage. And let's break that down. Indecision during hard and broken |
| 0:35.1 | times will be an active spiritual blindness and rebellion. |
| 0:39.3 | Indecision during stable times is a false comfort that we find in the flesh and stagnancy inside of our relationship. |
| 0:46.3 | But indecision during times of blessing and advancement is active deception and self-sabotage of the things of God, namely his promises over our life and our |
| 0:57.6 | marriage. But inversely, our yes, your yes will bring glory to God. And the only time you become |
| 1:06.1 | indecisive is when you step outside of the promises of God. So I want you to say this out loud or come into |
| 1:12.2 | agreement with this meditation in your heart as you hear it. When I lose sight of the promise, |
| 1:17.8 | I make false oaths and vows. When I lose sight of the promise, I make false oaths and vows. |
| 1:26.6 | And we get it, right? You thought, I'm just taking my time with my decisions. |
| 1:30.8 | I'm just waiting to see what the response is. There's a lot of things that are happening. |
| 1:34.5 | You don't quite understand our scheduling or the relationships or just how deep the running |
| 1:39.3 | and the deception and the callousness actually goes. And at this point, I've done my part in sewing, |
| 1:44.3 | and I'm just waiting for their fruit or the fruit of what I've sown. |
| 1:49.0 | And so if anything, this is a reminder to you to wake up out of that spiritual stupor, |
| 1:54.0 | that indecisive, apathetic, lethargic state, |
| 1:57.3 | and walk in the clarity and wisdom of Christ. |
| 2:01.8 | Because make no mistake, there is clarity and there is wisdom when we are decisive in the |
