Greater Than Gold - Kingdom Women - Mother's Day 2023

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

from st. Augustine Florida.

Now, enjoy this message. Again, happy Mother's Day, the

Lord is good. Now if you're a woman we're

going to be speaking to you too even if you're single because

the message today isn't just for moms, although it's it applies

is for women in general. I said, you know I got something

to say to women. Because the Lord has something

to say to women. Hallelujah, and sometimes I

think women need to hear from a man of God.

Because they're hearing from a bunch of ungodly men.

And we as men need to make sure our words and the way we speak

to women treat, women, stay in line with the word.

There are things that don't exist today.

Because you know, manhood has been diminished tremendously.

But we need to stay with manhood when it comes to how we honor

women. So with that being said, turn

over to Genesis chapter 1, because if you want to know

Genesis 1 · chapter mention

about a woman, you got to go back to the beginning, right?

You can't know women. Today, you have to know women

according to God's design. Amen.

And in Genesis chapter 1 starting in verse 26 will go to

Genesis 1 · chapter mention

verse 28. Then God said let us make man in

our image. In our lot in a according to our

likeness and let them rule over the fish of the sea over, the

birds of the sky, over the cattle, and over all the Earth,

over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, God

created, man in his own image. In the image of God, he created

him male and female he created them.

God blessed them, and God said to them, be fruitful multiply

fill the Earth and subdue it and rule over the fish of the sea

over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that

moves on the earth. So the first thing we need to

learn as we read Genesis 1:26, as he said, let us make Make

Genesis 1:26

man, man is the spirit of humanity.

So when I say Humanity, that is both male and female.

When I say mankind, although it's not a politically correct

word now. But when we say mankind, we're

not talking male were talking male and female.

When we say Humanity were saying, male and female.

When God says, let us make, man, he's saying the spirit of

humanity. Why do we know that the spirit

of man, is it assigned? The gender is the spirit of,

man, although the spirit has a gender assigned to it.

How do we know this? Because it's placed in a skin

suit. And so God said, let us make man

in our image, according to our likeness, let them rule them

Humanity rule, he made Man In His Image, both male and And he

never gets the spirit of man wrong in the suit there in God.

Never does that. Why?

Because you were known before you were born.

Before you in your mother's womb.

There is no such thing from the realm of the spirit.

We're all of a sudden, you know, we'll just treat it like it's a

joke, right? That's a Peter or Gabriel runs

to God and say, we blew it. What happened?

Had a mistake. What do you mean a mistake?

Well, We're going to put so-and-so into this womb but we

actually put them in a different womb.

That's never happened in the history of all creation.

But yet today because the devil is afraid of you, knowing who

you are. As Pastor Mark said here and in

Fort Walton Beach. He said, if you don't identify

your identity, if you are in an identity crisis, the crisis will

become your identity. And the reality is I understand

on one side mercies their, I'm not mad because I realized they

just are trying to figure out who they are but if you don't go

to the word of God to find it then the devil will accommodate

confusion. Are you hearing me in no other

form of creation? Is there this kind of crisis?

None. So God, he placed Humanity in

His image to rule in a mail suit and a female suit.

And both were to have dominion. Go ahead.

Ladies say, I have dominion say, I have dominion now, dominions a

serious thing because the Dominion means rulership It

means to rule. It means to govern, it means to

manage because God in his word, never created subspecies.

When it came to humanity, he created Sons and Daughters of

the king. He created children that had the

same ability to rule, and this is before sin, though, female

did not take a supported orat submitted role to Adam until

after the fall. So, in God's eyes, before sin

came when he looked at Adam and Eve, he saw equals All right,

I'll go over here, ladies. I need you to help me.

He saw equals. He saw equality.

And because they were without sin, there was never

competition. Adam never would have told his

wife. I'm not doing it because her

words only would have been the words of the king.

There, never would have been, I'm not doing what you say,

we're gonna do it my way because your way is God's way, my way is

God's way. We're only doing it God's way

and it would not have mattered to Adam, if God spoke to his

wife, to say what God Said and said, oh, that's right.

That's what God says, will do that, honey?

There was no conversation before sin where he said I'm the head

of the house. I'll figure it out.

Just say Amen. Anyway, because we are stuck in

a different age, a different condition that God now has

placed a model. But let me tell you, it's not

staying this way, it's not stay in this way and if we actually

notice through scripture, God is the greatest Liberator of

females than anyone else ever on the planet, he's done more for

Females than even the so-called women's Liberation movement.

Are you hearing me? And the reality is religion.

Has placed women in a vulnerable position because when when man

fell When sin entered the world, men began to treat women as

property. And even now the greatest

struggles that women have in the planet is because of religion.

In fact, there's a whole religion dedicated.

For the men that if they die, for their God, they will be with

God and as a reward, get 21 virgins yet, they treat the

women here like dogs, they don't value them, they have no value

for them. They openly physically and

verbally abuse them. And yet, they have this dream to

have 21 virgin ones when they died.

Do you really think their attitude towards them would be

different somewhere else? But we know this religion,

they're not getting them anyway. You know what?

They're going to get the Lake of Fire.

They'll become a eunuch, the rest of their lives.

They'll never ever be with a woman.

Again, Holly and won't be concerned about them.

They'll be too concerned about their torment.

Religion has reduced. Why is there such human

trafficking happen? Why?

Because sin has caused women to not be valued as God valued

them. I mean, if we just read the

Bible, God always honored women. Always one of the first examples

of God, honoring a woman is by the name of Sarah, Sarah, that

was Abraham's wife and she made a mistake because she could have

children her and her husband weren't having children.

I speculate that she was trying to determine who was at fault

here. Was it me or Abraham?

Who can he not? Help me have a child.

So, when he handed her his maidservant, it made life, even

more difficult for her. Because now she knows I'm the

issue because Hagar got pregnant, but it was never God's

will for Abraham to go that route.

But later on, when that child became a challenge to her to the

promised child, she went to Abraham and says we're going to

have to send them off. And God said, Abraham, listen to

your wife. I think men need to learn to

listen to their wives. Go ahead and say, Amen!

Come on, let I'm going to help you.

I'ma help you guys today. I'm gonna say that statement

again and you should say Amen louder than everybody.

Okay, let's do men. Should listen to their wives.

Thank you. Yeah, why don't you three?

Oh yeah. Mighty Man there, bro.

Mighty Man. There didn't even have anybody

jump on that Pastor. Mike we got some training to do,

come on because if you thought like Jesus, you would value

women better than this. Are you hearing me?

This is why I needed to preach today.

There was another woman called a prophetess in the Bible.

Her name was Debra. And the Army came to Deborah and

says, can we take the enemy? They did not go to her husband.

Then you go to him and she says the Lord's with you take them,

they said, well, because again, this is how man's struggle with

understanding the value of a woman.

Okay, well, we're not going to go into battle unless you go in

essence, maybe you're wrong. So you're going to go with us

because if it goes bad, you going to be there with us.

And so, she's bold, because she knew the voice of God.

She wasn't intimidated by that, man.

She said that's fine. I'll go with you because I know

what the Lord said. Butler know this a man won't get

credit for the battle today, but a woman's gonna get it.

So there was a woman in a tent that wasn't ever scheduled to be

a part of this process. But because a man fail to

understand the value that came out at a prophetess.

God said, I won't give the victory to a man.

I'm going to give it to a woman and when the king, showed up at

the woman's 10 and says hi me, I'm tired.

You know, and she's like, oh man, here's the guy that

everyone's asked her. Come on in, She lays him down.

Gives him some milk. Covers him up makes him

comfortable and in drives a state strap through his Temple.

Hallelujah women and helped me and kill their enemies.

Are you hearing me husbands, if you get your wives involved with

some of your problem, they'll start eliminating your enemies

for me. You won't have problems at work

like you haven't because your wife, will pray that enemy?

Oh, now your life will be in a stand in the Gap that you're not

standing in, all right? And they're like, hey, is

anybody here? The guy you're looking for is in

my Chambers? Why don't you come on in and see

if see if this is it? So they come in like we're going

to take him, he's dead. He's already dead.

Amen. God, in the beginning.

Said, women are extremely valuable.

And this is what's crazy to me that men can't see.

This is because she came out us Why would you abuse yourself?

Why would you devalue a part of you?

Something that you carried on the inside and when God paraded

every type of Creation in front of Adam?

And he said there wasn't a suitable helper.

In essence, he saying, listen, You'll Never Find your comfort

in any other source and there's nothing else you can pursue.

That's going to be a help to you.

I want you to look at all my career.

I want you to name them. A dog shouldn't be man's best

friend. My wife is my best friend.

She's my best friend. She's my lover.

She's my passion, she comes alongside me and not underneath

me. She holds me up strengthens me.

She gives me Godly wisdom, and counsel cheek allows me to touch

and agree with no one further than my own bedroom and I cause

things to move in the Earth because we're two people

touching agree. I don't have to go call a bunch

of men and say, hey, we going to war today, I can say, honey,

let's pray will bond this right now.

I might let some guys in on the process, but we going to whip

this ourselves. Are you hearing me?

Because God, understood the value that he placed in a woman,

because man, when he made out of me for him, out of the Dust of

the earth, breathed into his nostrils, the Breath of Life,

brought him everything that the world could offer and says, none

of this is good for you. It won't help you accomplish

your purpose. What you have is already inside.

Yo, I'ma pull it out. And man, Adam was smart enough

when he saw her. He said, Whoa, man.

Sure, you've heard that one. This is bone of my bone Flesh,

of My Flesh, right? We'll call her woman because a

man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave cleave cleave

to his wife and they'll become one flesh.

It's amazing. How most men are marrying women

to parade them. Not to come to cleave to them.

Well, let me find me a sweet honey, so I can parade her in

front of everybody. This is my wife with all her

Botox Blowed up lips. New hood ornaments.

Just say, Amen. Anyway.

Right? Like we got a trophy over here.

When you're supposed to cleave to her realize the value of what

you have have in your possession, not understanding

the ball, some women can be horrible.

I get that because the sin, I understand that, but I'm talking

to the church. Today, I want to talk to women

of God. Today, I want to talk to Men of

God today because there's no one in this room right now that has

an excuse to live substandard unless you're not born again.

And we can fix that today. If you are a man of God today,

hopefully your value of your wife's gonna go somewhere else

before you leave. If you are single male, then you

need to understand the value of what you need to go pursue.

If you are single woman, you need to understand the value of

our and don't let some guy cheeping you, by trying to buy

your sex, don't become a prostitute by going to him with

the movies. Let him get you flowers and then

giving you three stupid words that he doesn't me.

It's amazing. And the only reason why women

would exchange sex to for affection or attention is

because she doesn't know her value.

Hallelujah. God valued women.

God knew that women were so important after the fall that he

says, I can only bring my see through her anyway and I'm sure

not going to use this new man to help.

Not going to use him because he's corrupt.

But I can get Purity perfection in the earth, through the woman

still. Are you hearing me?

Do you understand Jesus, when he walked on the planet?

First communicate and John for the first time he said, I'm the

Messiah was to a woman at a, well, didn't reveal it to a man

first now there were men saying it.

Andrew ran to his brother Peter and said we have found the

Messiah. John the Baptist was talking

about this is the Lamb that. So you know, this is the one

that I've been talking about but Jesus is own acknowledgement of

his. Be in the Messiah was to a woman

at a, well, who's had five husbands.

And the one she's waiting now, isn't the one that isn't even

her husband. And yet, he saw past all of that

and says, I didn't create you this way, there's more value

with you. And I'm not going to speak to

you in your current condition. I want you to know, before I

tell any, man, any mail, I'm the Messiah.

And you know, what happened after he was risen from the

dead, Peter comes running to the Garden.

Looks in nothing, the disciple nothing, they can't see.

But someone had already told him, he was alive because there

was a woman who had seven unclean spirits that Jesus

rebuked out of her and she Faithfully served him.

And when she went, when the guys were sleeping, On the third day,

went to prepare his body. The stone was rolled away.

And Jesus introduced himself resurrected first.

To a woman. What value that the god of

Heaven and Earth says, I reveal, my will to the woman after the

fall first. Now, he revealed It To The Man

first in the garden, but because, man brought sin in God

brings Revelation first, to the woman into occasions, are you

hear me? The value of women to impart

spiritual truths Ladies, this is why you need to become what

we're going to talk about tonight because your children's

depend on it, your children depend on.

Are you hearing me? How much did Jesus value women?

That followed him look in. Luke chapter 8, verses 1 through

Luke 8:1–3

3. I'm going to read the way my

weymouth's translation. It says shortly after he visited

Town visit a town after town. Village after village Village,

proclaiming his message and telling the good news of the

kingdom of God, the 12 were with him and certain women say women

who had, who had delivered from, he had delivered from evil

spirits, and various diseases. Mary, obviously out of the 70

demons had come and Joanna, and Susanna and many other women all

of whom contributed to the support of Jesus.

Jesus, and his apostles. So Luke, who is the most

descriptive writer of the gospels is saying, a good amount

of Jesus's Financial underwriting came through women,

and women are not going to invest in something that's not

giving them value. Are you hearing me these women

were supporting what Jesus and the apostles were doing and

notice God didn't say, oh you're a woman.

You can't hang out with us. You can't travel with us.

I can't have you follow us. You know, these guys are

married. You can't be following with us.

Are y'all want to hear this? I mean, I understand fleeing the

appearance of evil, but me, I had me thinking, boy, Jesus is

out with a bunch of women hanging out in tents.

I'm sure a lot of things were said about Jesus, that wasn't

true. We know this.

But even women said, I'll leave the Comforts of home.

I'll leave what, you know is stable in my life and I'll go

and travel with this guy, I'll set up a tent with it where,

what town, the he goes to, I'm gonna go up Village, he's at I'm

gonna be What need he has. I'm gonna meet that need.

And for far too long, the women have dominated the church

because the men stay. So stuck in their sinful

Behavior after conversion and never renew their mind to the

value of their spouse. Many men sit in church today

because of a Praying Wife a Praying Mother, if it wasn't for

that Legacy. In fact, Paul's greatest

disciple named Timothy. He said to him, he said, Timothy

listen, you can do this because I see the gifting you the one

that was given to you first, buy your Grandmama and then by your

mama never mentioned his father wants.

His father was a Greek anyway. Never left him a spiritual

Legacy, but his grandma and his mom did.

Are you hearing me when fathers are at home?

And Mom says, hey, let's go to church.

You should say yes. Well, you know, I work long all

week honey. You know, I'm going to stay home

today. No, you get up because, you

know, most of you not getting up, when the child is throwing

up, when you need to change the diaper, I mean, we use work as

an excuse to be lazy. Don't say that again, we use

work as an excuse to be lazy. Because now, in our society,

even the women are working mean, they can't, they can't just

concentrate on a home only. The environment they're having

to be active, then they come home, clean the house cook or

purchase it there still or washing?

But again, when we colabor together, when you know, your

buyer side your side, then if she says, Hey listen.

Can you fold that for a you should say?

Yeah. Honey, no problem.

I'm here to help. Fold the clothes.

We can do it together. I'll do dishes, I'll clean the

toilet. You just point me.

You are man. The house way better.

And I am and just point me in the direction, and I'll do it

because we're a team. Hey, can you get me another cold

one while I watch the game. Listen, I give you permission as

you pass her next time. One of these brothers up in

here, say that get too cold one. Walk over to the couch, pour it

on their head. And then say, wake up Jesus name

Apparently you've lost your mind.

Amen. I there's nothing wrong with

serving, don't get me wrong. But you know, there's a culture

of men out there and they left the world much, but women have

value. And I'm going to talk about your

value today. Matthew chapter 13 verses 45 to

Matthew 13:45–46

46 again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant seeking fine

pearls. See, I can preach this way

because I do dishes. As I fold clothes, my wife just

phenomenal at washing and drying.

It is not her passion. Twofold.

Can I just say she hates it? She hates it but you know she

hates it not so much though that she's going to put it up but she

will. Let me know how long they've

been in the basket but everything's been in the basket

for three days. I got it.

I just let him get wrinkled real good before.

I fold them. No, I'm just saying.

We have to work together. We work together.

There's nothing at the house. That is only hers.

We are together. Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is

like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one,

pearl of Great Value. He went and sold all that he had

and bought it. It's amazing.

How man will sell out for a possession.

He'll sell his life out for his job, as work for money for

promotion for title. Think it's the greatest thing.

Walk around strut around even look, what I look at my title

who I am. Look what I've accomplished.

Look at all my Awards. Look how I've been promoted.

Look how everybody talks about me at work.

Look what I've accomplished. Look at my degrees.

Look how much money we have on the in the bank.

Honey. See I'm taking care of you.

Because we see material possession or wealth as the most

valuable. Proverbs 2015 says, there is

gold in an abundance of jewels. And it's like, men pursue it.

With a passion and don't know what they possess in their own

home they said but the lips of knowledge are a more precious

thing. So, the Bible lets us know,

right out the gate. I get it.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like what we see men do.

They are chasing after worldly treasures, and when they find

one, they are willing to sell everything.

And go after that treasure, you know how many husbands have gone

home and snatched their wife and children out of a good church

just to take a job promotion somewhere else.

Not even taking into consideration that we're going

to a place. That's a good church.

How's this going to affect my family?

Just at more money means we have to be better like money provides

joy and peace and eliminates all problems.

And God says, look there's an abundance.

There's gold in abundance of jewels in the world.

There's all kinds of treasures. But man, if you can get ahold of

knowledge there's something even more.

Precious, the lips of knowledge. There is something even more

precious. Proverbs 8:11, says, this is

Proverbs 8:11

what's precious for wisdom. Is better than jewels and all

desirable things cannot cannot cannot.

What cannot compare with her can't even compare.

Doesn't matter what you got in the bank.

If you don't have wisdom, you're broke, you're bankrupt, you

don't understand value. Again, we can chase and here,

let me say something. Ladies, If you chase what men

chase, you don't know your value.

Well, I'm going to be the one in the corporation.

I'm going to be the one that successful.

I'm going to one that's going to make.

The more I'm the one who's gonna make the most money.

Now I'm gonna get in babe, more than a man gets mad paid.

Like your Pursuit, is to make sure you have more money than a

man. Because you'll be validated all

the sudden right? Because all of a sudden now I'm

validated I make as much as a guy does.

But there's value more than that.

Most women are trading their children for promotion and

position. It's because they don't

understand their value. But wisdom is better than jewels

and all desirable. Things cannot comprehend with

her. Look at this.

In Proverbs 3:13-15, he said, how blessed is the man who finds

Proverbs 3:13–15

what not a job? Now you need a job, don't get me

wrong but you need wisdom and the man who gains understanding

for her. And notice, I love this because

wisdom is always associated with a female.

With a female. This is the holy spirit.

Moving upon men and they associate wisdom, which tells me

them when God pulled Eve out from Adam.

Part of this DNA. That went to her.

Must have wisdom associated with it.

How blessed is the man who finds wisdom man?

Who gains understanding for her profit, is better than the

profit of silver and her gain better than fine gold.

She is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire Compares

with her. Nothing you desire Compares with

her. You said, oh, what's this?

Have to do with a wife? Let's read the next verse.

Proverbs, 18 or 19. Verse 14 says that this way

house and wealth are an inheritance from fathers.

But a Prudent Wife Is from the Lord.

There's something about a woman in the home that when they are

given their position of value. They become more precious than

all riches and nothing we could ever pursue men can compare.

Nothing that we ever could pursue could compare.

We should be more conscious of wanting to see the gift of God

released in our wives than any other thing we ever accomplished

on the planet. We should be willing to

sacrifice anything. For her to be able to grow when

the things of God, because when you get a woman of God in the

house, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

I said there's nothing. You can't accomplish in essence.

What these scriptures are telling us is that you want to

pursue gold. You want to pursue silver, you

want to pursue Jewels, you want to go after pearls.

You want to do natural wealth, you want to pursue that you

could do it but your life will be in ruin.

But if you'll pursue wisdom, if you'll go ahead and learn how to

get Wisdom then all the things you are pursuing, will actually

follow you. It's like what Jesus said, you

cannot serve both God and well, you'll love one and hate the

other in essence. If we'll just serve God and

Money Follows, if we'll go pursue wisdom than finance will

follow. If we will cultivate a wife, To

release her god-given ability. Then not only will wisdom begin

to manifest in our homes, which is we can't even compare to

that, but wealth will follow as well.

Your greatest asset. Is your spouse?

Your greatest asset. It's not your college.

Education, is not your mere brute strength.

It's not the sweat of your brow. Is that sweet smelling aroma?

Oh my mom. Some of y'all need to fall in

love with your wive's again. Praise the Lord.

I'm talking about what the love of God.

All right, we going try 1st 1914?

You all right? I can't think of any guy that if

somebody came up, gave a financial seminar on how they

can get ahead in the world financially and get promoted and

all this stuff happened and you know, notoriety and influence

and all these particular things that would be like oh great and

I'm telling you what it is is called a woman.

Now, why do I say woman? Because I'm smart as a pastor,

my heart is all God's. I love him with all my heart, my

wife didn't have all my heart, only God doesn't because God has

my whole heart, she's never and never in Jeopardy.

She's never in jeopardy. Okay.

So that allows me to love her as Christ loves the church and

she's it, she's only it. There is no other it.

I've gone to some Churches and they've come to Mom said, oh,

you're the first lady. I remember going to a particular

church and they introduced her someone.

The pastor's wife are said, oh you're the first lady said no

I'm the only lady You know, say this is the only lady I must say

it against the only Lady. It's the only lady.

But she's not the only woman. There's another woman that's not

with us today. A young one, 23:24 how old's an

Ela 25 aniela has wisdom in the realm of government and I am

standing before, Senators commissioners.

Because of her gift. I've never been in front of the

type of people. I'm in front of right now

without the wisdom, that's coming from a woman.

I was wise enough to know that there's an anointing on This

Girl's Life. And if I'll release her gift in

this body, she will allow me to do my gift in a sector of

society that I couldn't get in without her.

She's open doors for me that I could have never opened.

Because she is a jewel in God's eyes, concerning that sector of

society. Pastor Angie, she's anointed to

lay hands on people to get the baptism of the Holy Spirit and

if somebody struggling, I'm like, fine Pastor Angie.

That woman has an anointing to be able to lay hands and a

receive immediately. I've seen men lay hands on and

they just seen I'll say go get Pastor Angie, she'll come down

there, lay hands boom. They'll start speaking in other

tongues. It's because I see the gift of

God on her. Listen, if I'm talking to you

about something in your life, lady is, because I see the gift

of God in you, and you need to let us release this thing.

Because again, the church needs your gift, but me and you need

to understand, you need to release those gifts in your

home. The house, I'm in today's cuz

this woman knows how to call them.

In my children are like they are today because this woman knew

how to navigate Now they're free will and they can go there on

choice but I know the foundation and Mama's.

Let me tell you something. When you put the word of God in

your kids you hold on to that even if they're acting foolish

and ungodly you hold onto that. Because that word does way more

than what the world is doing. And at the end of the day, when

you stand before a holy God, he's going to reward you for not

backing down from truth. Children that are in here right

now. You need a really sincerely.

Thank your mama. Especially if they're in here.

You need to run to him. Give him a hug.

Say, wow, I need to Value you way more than I'm bowing you.

Proverbs 18:22, says he who finds a wife.

Proverbs 18:22

Finds a good thing and obtains favor from God.

Proverbs 12 for says this, an excellent wife is the crown of

her husband. Let me just stop there.

Do you hear that? And excellent wife is the crown

of her husband. Well, my wife and I got

together. We were a mess.

I never talk about us because we are not the example.

I don't, I don't talk about how we got together.

Not talking about it. I would never want someone to

say, well that work for them because it may not work for you.

It only work for us because we decided God's getting all of us.

And the baggage we had coming in, we were, we were destined

for divorce. Destin, but because we actually

gave our hearts to the Lord and we allowed him to change us.

Because of that Pastor Marci, you've heard her testify I grew

up in a church but honestly I grew up in a religious church.

I grew up in a church that you could be born again and I did

have God in Me but it was religious and I sure didn't live

for him. Pastor Marcy got born again at a

young age because of vacation bible school, but never went to

church again. So she says, I was raised

Heathen and as a result of that, you know, she saw a lot of

different things going on and made a lot of choices based upon

what she thought was right, but there's a way that seems right.

And in the end lies, that's just thing everything we doing just

falls apart and then all of a sudden we show up and meet each

other on a blind date. Too.

Chaotic people. but when we came together, there came this

thought If this is going to happen, we're really going to

have to follow God. And they were easy years.

They were not. But we overcame.

Gentleman, never devalue. A wife who will yield to the

word and let it renew their mind to be Godly.

You value that more than anything, because Sun, you don't

know what it's like to have a woman that becomes rebellious to

the things of God. There's nothing worse than a

contentious woman. They're worse than a man.

You know why? Because women are the greatest

manipulators when their ungodly and you know how they manipulate

by Sleeping with you. They give you pleasure while

they whip you and keep you in bondage.

Men are so strong but their conquered so easily.

Save him, I can do it. Men are so you know we're dead

that's our last that's Pride gone to stupidity, right?

I mean it's like we are so strong yet a woman.

Think about all the great leaders that fail.

Something that's probably not much more than 115 pounds.

Takes them down every time. And they first start doing it

by. Welcomed by a little faster, so

the perfume flows over. They know how to carry a spirit

of lust when their ungodly now. So when you got a woman that's

like men, let's go. You like honey you going?

We going to church. We are going to church because

if I want to have the greatest I need to release you because God

knows exactly what's Best in you.

And you gotta stand your ground that you make a demand on it.

And there's something about women that when you demand their

godliness, they rise to the occasion.

My wife could break generational curses because I made demands on

her to be a woman of God and called her.

That even when she wasn't talking it, when she wasn't

feeling it, now I'm growing to believe you.

Me I'm having to deal with me but at the end of the day,

there's no reason for me to lash out to you and tell you who you

are because I'm struggling, I might as well call you what I

want you to be because that's what God wants you to. to be and

my mama, How the Holy Ghost? Would just minister to her life.

I knew my limitations I can't mine out all the value in her.

There were times that we would be in situations where I'm like

Lord only you can change this. And I trust you because I've

seen her yield. She knows her worth continue to

show her her value. Are you hearing me women are

greater than the greatest material possessions we could

ever have? You have to look in the room

right now and say the greatest value that there is in the

planet is this woman beside me. And again at the end of the day,

I'm not short changing us as men and our role.

I'm just telling you that the value of women is priceless, he

said, an excellent wife is the crown of her husband.

How would you not want to be crowned?

Because all men want to be all men want to be the ruler.

You want a rule, let your wife, become your crown.

Let her godliness show up let her ability.

Come you know what? She'll come alongside you

because she's your help meet, she's not your stepping stone.

She's the one that's going to do things that you're incapable of

doing. She'll have ways to do stuff

that honestly you're going to look ignorant.

But it's okay because what her capacity is only complimenting,

the assignment the first place, God told, man, to be fruitful

and to multiply man, cannot do it without the woman.

So she has a capacity that we don't have and we need the

shared capacity and I'm not just talking physical, I'm talking

emotional and I'm talking spiritual, I'm talking in wisdom

and intellect because they possess it.

My wife is a phenomenal organizer.

She's amazing at that. She can do those things.

She's awesome at design. There are some things that are

just natural with her. And you put that against me, I

look like I'm an imbecile. But I'm okay with that because I

don't have to do what she does and it doesn't bother me to say,

what do you want to do you decide?

Because we're only going to be better together.

If you make this decision, I'm not intimidated by your gifts

and ability because I got my gifts, inability.

I got what you can't do but together we're Unstoppable.

I said we're Unstoppable. You got to quit thinking in your

mind. You're with the wrong person.

Well, You got to feed is that you need to live Godly.

The other live Godly start doing it to God way and release the

talents in the household. But I must admit it starts with

a man. That he looks at the woman and

says, you have such great value. I must see you with the eyes of

the father. I must see you with the eyes of

the father. You may talk away, you may act

away but I'm going to be dad the father in front of you because

when I lived add the father in front of you, is the greatest

opportunity to pull your greatness out.

Early in our marriage, which, you know, we're 32 years in

September. Yeah, we process different

process, different. And I made certain demands of

the father, like you don't go to bed angry.

Didn't do it. What did that look like?

I turn the lights on. And even though it may not be

completely resolved with her or she may appease me to go to

sleep. I still was the example of that

scripture, we should not be angry with one another.

You got the love of God in you. I got the love of God and me at

the end of the day, we can resolve this.

We are of no excuse. There's no excuse for us to have

this kind of conflict. There's no excuse for us to hold

our own will. There's no excuse For us to say

it's my way and not his way. And one of the greatest lessons

I ever learned is to die on the altar of opinion.

Quit being stubborn on my way to do it because my yielding to her

and just go, let's do it your way then my way is not wrong,

your way is not wrong, but I don't have to die on it, just be

in my way but I found that every time I gave up my right to be,

right. But I am powered her to release

her value, and she got confident in being able to make choices

and to see it embraced and to see that I valued her and I

didn't treat her as she had been treated most of her life.

There are many women in this room that have been treated in a

way that God never intended. Not valued, but I want you to

know God sees you as something more precious than silver and

gold. In Proverbs.

Well, let's finish that verse and excellent wife is a crown

for her husband, but she who shames him is like rottenness to

his bone. Ladies, I have to go to the

other side when you don't value, who God is in, you, you are the

worst to be around. You are the worst to be around.

Are you hearing what I'm saying? I just say yield and submit to

God so that your true identity can come out.

You don't need a man to complete you, you are already complete in

Christ. The husband, your with today is

so that you have a shared passion to accomplish God's Will

and that's what you're doing. So I mean you got to have a

vision and you have to take the lead and move in that Vision.

When we moved here it was kind of shocking.

Be honestly, my wife has followed me all over the place

and believe you me, she would have not in her own mind, done

it that way. Yeah.

That wasn't her way of thinking she wasn't going to marry a

pastor anyway at the end of the day.

But through all the movement, when we finally were in Oklahoma

Youth passion been there for three years in the Lord speaks

to me about moving. I mean, we're doing the best

we've ever done and it was probably one of the biggest

struggles for her to say really. We got to do this one again.

And, you know, she could say one more time because we've moved so

much. How does she know we going to

last here, we've been here a long time baby. anyway, my point

is, is that I said, listen, if I don't do the will of God, if I'm

not in it, we're not going to make it.

I said, this is what we were destined for all this time.

And one more time she says not my will but your will be done

and because of that soil and I'm going to brag on my wife.

In July, when we go to camp meeting.

This woman of God is the first woman to ever do.

A speaking at the night services at can't meeting in 50 years.

No, other woman has ever done that.

Not even Pastor Lynette, Hagin. Our pastor Denise Hagen Burns.

That when they decided to have a female Minister on a night in

camp meeting and I'm talking Heavy Hitters that have

ministered at camp meeting. Kenneth Copeland's been at camp

meetings, John Osteen. I mean Lester Sumrall I mean

there are world renowned Ministries.

That have Minister would Kenneth E Hagin and Kenneth W Hagin.

And when they said this time to do a woman Pastor called your

pastor. Come on somebody.

Pastor Hagin said, I can think of a woman that has value.

I can think of a woman that is precious.

I can think of a woman that is proven that she used to God and

loves God. And some of y'all been here,

y'all know her story. You know, the sexual abuse that

she went through and how that destroys value.

But God I said, but God. Let me read you my wife and

others in here. Proverbs 31, come on.

Ladies, get this. I'm a readout of the passion is

good. Man is good.

Who could ever find a wife like this one?

Come on, ladies. You need to own this.

If you're single Jasmine, you fixing to get married.

Here's the job description. You hear what I'm saying?

All right, just so we know this is the job description.

This is the job description. All right, who CC?

This is the job description. Okay, I got a few of y'all.

I'm fixing. We fix them, are.

He's all right. Who could ever find a wife like

this? She's a woman of strength.

And mighty Valor. We think of those terms, only

with men. It's not true.

She's full of what wealth and wisdom, the price paid for her

was greater than many. You hear this?

You hear what I'm saying? We already know.

Wisdom has more value than gold and precious jewels.

And here Proverbs is saying, you want to know something else.

That's kind of equal to wisdom. Is called a woman.

The price favor her was was greater than many jewels.

Her husband has entrusted his heart to her and she brings him

the rich Spoils of victory. All throughout her life, she

brings him, what is good, and not evil.

Whoo, raising was good and not evil.

She not here to sabotage him. She's not there to try to shine

above him. She's not there to try to rule

over him. She's there just to bring him

good. Husbands, if your wives bringing

you good, you need to get off your horse.

And go ahead and massage her feet.

Are you hearing me? Because your greatest asset is

your wife. That's a woman of God, She

searches out, continually to possess that which is pure and

righteous. Oh my gosh, this is so good

verse 14. Sure.

She Delights in the work of her hand, she gives out Revelation

truth to feed others. She is like a trading ship

bringing Divine Supply from the merchant, man.

When I get his, I said, honey, here's where where I'm at.

I need you to pray about it. Because I might need you to

bring in a Divine ship of Revelation.

Truth about this situation. Just in case God wants to speak

to me through you, I'm ready? Not that I can't hear the Holy

Ghost because of me. She brings me divine revelation,

truth concerning a situation. The Holy Ghost In Me says yeah I

told her that Why does he do that?

Because the Holy Ghost says listen you're not the only one

who can hear me and I want you to know how much I value her.

That's why I don't talk to you about that.

I talk to her so that you'll always maintain your value of

her like I value her. Even in the night season, she

arises and sets food on the table for the hungry ones in her

house and four others. I mean, it's amazing the

physical and emotional stamina. Of a woman, any husband that's

ever carried a child on their hip has back problems.

I mean, I can Flex my bicep and it is lot larger than my wife,

but when we start caring kids and grandkids, I don't care.

My kids now because they're so big.

But when they were little I mean, I'd hold them help my

life. You know, you hold.

Okay. I got them and we're going, you

know? I'm the man, I'm the strong guy

and we walking through the store, your life.

Wow, I'm going to muscle failure, already my back of my

and I so you switch, you know, you're like going through man

and you start sweating, you're like, wow, what is going on?

But my wife, she walks through the whole store one side.

I mean like ours, how does that bicep?

Not give out. Why has she not dropped?

The child on the floor? I'm like, am I right man?

I don't know. I'm not, I'm done with this.

You're getting on my shoulders. That's why me carry your kids on

their shoulders go. We can't handle it.

In Harm's Way, ain't got no him to hold on.

Get on this seat right here, you'll be all right.

Their emotional stability and situations.

You're like if I only had your genetic by had that y'all would

be like think man. If I could just put my wife

inside me her spirit like get y'all better watch out.

I'd be a bad mama jama. Oh man.

I'm telling you, it's amazing, their tenacity, their ability to

endure even in the night season, she arises when you're tired,

you still get up with enough Clarity to accomplish.

She sets food on the table for Hungry ones at our house and for

other, she sets her heart upon a nation and it takes and takes it

as her own carrying it with her. Well, there's nothing more

powerful gentleman than when you are in any situation and say,

honey, can you pray for me about this that she'll set that in her

heart and carry it? You know why?

This is so powerful because women have the ability to

conceive they know how to carry There an incubator in order to

give birth. We as men, we engage the

process, and then we're done. And the problem is that there

are things in life that require more than a quick answer.

It needs to incubate, it needs to be given birth, and the woman

can carry that. And if you're not getting a real

answer about some, it's better for you to say honey, I wait

till you give birth to that. Then for you to go ahead and

just keep making decisions about this, what we're gonna do with a

company. Now, this is what we're going to

do here, and this is what we're going to do here, you know, just

hold on. Let me let me pray about this

for a little bit. Because in the natural don't say

three. You've been holding a child for

3 months. Let's go get it out.

How long are you Eloise? Now, 3-month stand up.

Let's have a baby. There she is, right?

And we're not impatient, because she can't give birth right now

because it's not ready. And a lot of times we get

impatient, but yet our wives are so precious that they can cause

things to come out of, they give birth to seasons of Our Lives.

They give birth to next phases. I got something right now that I

want to do and my wife's telling me it's not Tom.

I don't really agree with her. But I still hadn't done it yet.

Cuz I'm cautious. I mean I have enough reason to

say I don't care. It's going to be, all right.

We can do it, but I don't have enough of God, say what didn't

do it? And because of that, when she

said, I don't think the season I have to go. but it's growing in

her, I can tell you that it's growing in ER And she going to

give birth to it one day. It won't take 9 months,

probably, if it takes not much, I'll take it, but it's been a

month in there. All right.

No. I'm telling you, we need to

understand that value. They have.

Let's go on, she, she wraps herself in strength.

Oh, is that where we're at? Go back, so I can get back into

it, she sets her heart upon a nation takes, it takes it as her

own carries it. Within her, she Delights in the

works. Go on next one.

Now, she laborers, there to plant.

At the living bonds, she wraps herself in strength, might and

Power in all her works. My wife's a gardener, she loves

it and it's amazing. I'm not a weed guy.

Kill the weeds with rid, whatever Roundup round them up,

that's about the labor I want on a weed.

But my wife will get down. She'll pull them and she has the

capacity to do a whole bed on her knees.

And love the process. There's value when someone can

endure dealing with weeds. And enjoy the process knowing.

I understand. We're not done, but I'm getting

it done. Because we as men we want to

spray it go watch the game come back a few days later and see it

but they're dead in there, they don't disappear.

You still got to dig them out or do something.

We too often want quick fixes. Now, the advantage us is were

spontaneous, we can, or when a situation arises, we can handle

storms. A lot of times, we are well

equipped. But man, when there's processes

that take place, I'm thankful that the value of my wife is to

be a say, look, I'm gonna go in here and just I'm going to get

all this out. And it doesn't matter if it

takes this long, I'll pick it all out.

Because when it's done, they're gone.

It goes on and says this. She tasting experience, a better

substance. And her shining light will not

be extinguished. No matter how dark the night

talking about someone. Who knows how to hold onto.

Hope if you're a woman and you've lost.

Hope you're in really great spot.

The devil is an extremely good job of deceiving, you that you

could stay in that kind of Darkness because women have the

capacity to maintain the Light Of Hope.

Even when it seemed like it's nothing, not going anywhere.

Man's actually given up a woman can say there's hope there's

hope. She stretches out her hand to

help the needy, and She lays hold of the wheels of

government. What's that mean?

She has the ability to influence power.

This is why I'm not surprised of how we've gotten into the

corridors of power. In fact, if you were here with

Bishop garraway, he actually prophesied that.

My name would Echo into the halls of power.

I would go to the governor's mansion.

Is just going through a girl. Are you hearing me?

I don't have problem with that. She is known by her extravagant

generosity to the poor for. She always reaches out, her

hands to those in need. She's Not Afraid of tribulation

for all her household is covered in the Dual garments of

righteousness and Grace. Wow, she's always wanting to be

right with God. I'm talking women of God.

Now, those who understand their value, like, man, I just want to

be right with God and I do not want the grace of God, my life

to be in vain. Her clothing is beautifully knit

together. A purple gown of Exquisite

linen. Why?

Cause she's royalty. She is the queen.

I said she is the queen. Her husband is famous and

admired by all sitting, as of venerable judge of his people.

Notice, he can take his seat cause she's taken her.

See This is why husband's you want, you want your marriage to

be where it needs to be. If you're going to ever reach

the capacity, you have the only way you can reach a capacity

that God has for you, if you have a wife, that is rebellious

and stiff neck is if she cuts you loose, And then you're free

from that, and you run on with God.

Outside of that. If you do not work to make it

say, well is good enough. Good enough doesn't get you in

the seat. in fact, I would even go this far we know single women

are single mothers have an anointing that single fathers do

not because the Lord says to the woman, I'll be a father to the

fatherless. This is why your kids can still

grow up an honor God, even though you were you rebelled and

weren't an example. Her husband is famous mired by

all even her works of righteousness.

She does for the benefit of her enemies.

Bold power and glorious Majesty or wrapped around her as she

laughed with joy over the latter days.

Her teachings are filled with wisdom and kindness as loving

instructions. Pour from her lips instead of

us, trying to talk to our wives all the time.

We should say, honey, why you got to say?

Instead of cutting her off. Mid-sentence, what do you got to

say? I want to hear from you.

She watches over her ways of her household and meets every need.

They have her sons and daughters arise and one Accord to exalt.

Her virtues. One translation says, they raise

up and call her blessed. And her husband, arises to speak

of her in glowing terms. If all you're doing is bragging

about how well your wife sleeps, would you you got problems?

The only thing good, you can say about your wife as how good it

felt the night before then you don't know the value of your

wife. Hallelujah.

Amen. There are many ballot and Noble

ones. But you have ascended above them

all. Wow, that's a title given to a

woman charm can be misleading and beauty is vain and so

quickly Fades. But this virtuous woman lives in

Wonder and fear of the Lord, she will be praised throughout

eternity. So go ahead and give her the

credit that is due for. She has become a radiant woman

and all her loving works of righteousness.

Deserve to be a mired at the gateways of every city.

Wow. Women, I encourage you.

You should read this daily. So that you can get within you,

your value. As much as I speak to my wife,

tell her, I love her, tell her she's a woman of God, my words

do not have the same weight as her heavenly father and as much

as I tried to Echo exactly what he's saying and then try to

model his way through a husband to her.

It will never cause her to rise to the level.

She is until she hears it from her father herself.

And I so I encourage you women because when you do that whether

I get in the flesh on something or whether I forget something

and absent-minded or didn't happen to evaluate that

situation with more tenderness. She can easily say but I have a

father. Who knows my value?

And then she's easy to forgive me when I come and say, honey,

forgive me. I wasn't sensitive enough.

I wasn't, I didn't demonstrate that value, right?

Forgive me. Because you are highly valuable

to me. because of who you are in Christ and who our father has

made you, amen. And because of that, you'll be

called blessed. That's where success comes.

Is by being a woman of virtue. A woman of character.

And your husband doesn't make you that your God does.

Gentlemen, we have a tough supportive role.

I know, the Bible calls us, the head of the house.

But we are actually supporting God's vision of the woman.

And that's a supporting role and that's a tough one.

But you must rise to the occasion and understand.

That she is the most valuable thing that you have in your life

and you need to treat it as the greatest treasure. and any time

you start seeing yourself Barry, that treasure with your words

and your actions, You need to repent.

Humble yourself. And go dig her back up, and let

her know that she's the best thing that's ever happened in

your life outside of Jesus. Single girls, if you don't find

a guy that values, you right out the gate, he ain't worth having

you might as well, wait. There are 8 billion people on

the planet and you're not too young or too old.

When I mean, well, you know, I'm this old, I ain't God, will you

pursue God? You need a spouse.

They'll bring you someone to do it.

Most people that are married today, May decisions because

they were emotional, and they were led by their flesh.

But you're in it now and there's no excuse for you, that are born

of given just live, God, no problem, because we are an

example of two horrible people. Who were not pursuing, God and

living, according to our flesh. But we came together the holy

spirit says this ain't going to work unless you do it my way and

we at least had enough smarts about us to say we'll do it your

way. My wife's told me before, you

know, if I went on before you, you'll probably remember, I

said, ain't no way it's not gonna happen.

So I can't believe I said angle happen.

I said what you don't understand is I know you.

I know the fight of faith. I know every trial you came

through. I know every adversity you

whipped and one. And you don't get that in a

tight skin suit. You get that through years of

fighting the good fight of faith.

And I would never trade that woman for anything and I sure

don't have time in the planet to go.

Let someone else get to that caliper.

You look at your wife and you notice, she's fought a good

fight and she's come through something.

She's beat adversity. She yielded to God.

She didn't give in to the flesh. Didn't quit.

You cherish that. Cherish that.

Because sex don't cover that sex.

Don't help that Sex sex ain't never defeated an enemy.

By itself. No, the spirit inside.

Her is the most amazing thing on the planet.

And she still looked at dog gone.

Good better simmer down, right? She said, pray, baby.

Pray, let's pray. Father, we love you and we honor

you. We thank you Lord.
