The command is clear:obey parents, then obey your spouse. But what happens when that obedience demands you silence a God-given purpose to heal, speak, or create?

I ran The Sovereign's Litmus Test on this. The core audit is binary and comes from Acts 5:29: "We must obey God rather than human beings!"

The Verdict hinges on one question: Does this relationship direct you toward ashared purpose under God, or does it demand obedience to a person's control?

· PASS (Covenant): The relationship aligns with Genesis 2:24—it facilitates "leaving and cleaving" into your divine mission. It supports your purpose. · FAIL (Control): The relationship uses "obey" to block, redirect, or invalidate your purpose. It acts as a destiny blocker, not a covenant partner.

This isn't rebellion. It's higher obedience. Your primary covenant is with the Purpose-Giver.

Bring your case. Have you faced this? How did you discern the difference?

Zaps and meaningful discussion fuel this forensic work. The full Litmus Test manual (Ezekiel 34, James 2, Acts 5:29 protocols) is here for deeper study: https://liberthaeanadara.gumroad.com/l/kccmw
