Pastor Jeremiah Johnson didn’t bless a young couple’s relationship because they were sleeping together outside of marriage.
In his post, he wrote, “THEY GAVE ME THE MIDDLE FINGER AT THE ALTAR.”
Sleeping Together Outside Marriage
In the eyes of God, sleeping together outside of marriage is a sin.
“Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral” (Hebrews 13:4, NIV).
And a pastor wasn’t timid in sharing this truth with a couple who asked for his blessing in their relationship.
He wrote, “A good-looking young adult couple recently approached me at an altar, asking for a prophetic word of blessing regarding their relationship. Expecting me to just quickly bless them, they bowed their heads immediately. Without even seeking the Lord, I said, “Are you two sleeping together?” The look on their faces as their heads snapped up was priceless. They didn’t even have to answer me.”

He said, “You are asking me to bless something that the Word of God has clearly already called sinful. You don’t need a prophetic word. What you need to do is repent of your sins, stop sleeping together, separate. And then I’ll pray God’s blessings upon you.” They marched out of that church faster than I could blink. And gave me the middle finger on the way out the door.”
Comments
In the comment section of the pastor’s post one person shared,
“The same thing happened to me and my wife. When we first got together, we weren’t in church and didn’t really understand the Bible. Plus, I had already sold my house in south Louisiana and moved in with her in north Louisiana. Well, one day we went to a little church and really liked it, so we asked the pastor the same thing. And he said he could not bless our relationship because of willing sin, but we didn’t get mad; we did everything he told us too. As expected, we still had to live in the same house but in different bedrooms. A few months later, he married us. I am so thankful today that a man of God changed my whole life and for the blessings that God has done in our marriage.”
