The sacrificial stage happens after your God-ordained prodigal spouse begins to wake up from spiritual death. They have repented for their sins and are back in right standing with their Heavenly Father.
To sacrifice means the act of giving up something that you want to keep. A sacrifice is a loss or something you give up usually for the sake of a better cause.
Your God-ordained Spouse is giving up:
- Their pride
- Bad attitude
- Counterfeits
- Letting go of wrong connection
- Blame and accepting accountability
- Hesitation and Procrastination and Putting in the work to have you as their spouse
- Being disobedient to God
- Idols
- Impulsive behavior and practicing self-control and discipline
God is taking your God-ordained spouse through the sacrifice stage to see if they will be obedient to the Lord, testing their faith, teaching them true love makes sacrifices for the one it loves and placing the fear of God back in them.
