When a marriage, friendship or business partnership begins, even if they are avid churchgoers, neither person is truly a believer in the God of Israel. The churches are institutions of the world fed by the world and lack the power to bring real, continuous change. Once the person being called begins to give of themselves from the heart to Christ, learning true sacrifice and love, then the world will push hard against them, including being run out of the churches. Anything that they used to go to to save them won't work anymore because the enemy has authority over it. The enemy will blow up normal situations into a huge mess and will try to crush them with it, but the only way out is through repentance and trusting in Jesus alone to save them. The enemy will lie to the people around them and feed them false accusations and suspicion against the believer. Everything that they trust, even friends and family will become enemies. This is the beginning of birth pains, the Day of the Lord. Court systems, lawyers, police, jobs, all worldly systems won't work for the believer anymore. Their family and friends will use these things against them, but they can't fight back in a worldly way. God is trying to keep them blameless in Christ, keeping them trusting in him. He is setting them free from the enslavement to death, to bring them into trusting the life in the Kingdom of God.
Church, therapy, and friendly advice don't work anymore because it is not wisdom from God. Someone coming to God through his Son can't continue in covenants with this world because they are cursed, contracts with death, and the Kingdom of God has nothing to do with this world.
The reason nobody understands this process in the scriptures is these things have been covered up for many years by man's dead religion. The person around the believer will have to go through birth pains as well, tribulation to make the ground of the heart properly tilled so the seed can grow there with deep roots. False teachers speak from the curse of death trying to make the world a better place, speaking of freedom when they themselves are enslaved. The earth needs deliverance as well, to shake off the curse and be reborn.
