  1. Hello, and welcome to the Anchor Faith.

  2. Message podcast, enjoy this message tonight.

  3. I just want to review some things real quick and then

  4. launch out into the word that's in my heart.

  5. Obviously, Pastor Earle and Pastor Marcy, take it very

  6. seriously coming in from auditioning from one year to the

  7. next and they prayerfully consider anything that the Lord

  8. would have them Minister. Any kind of themes.

  9. That doesn't mean we have a theme every year.

  10. If the Holy Ghost isn't say anything, we don't ever try to

  11. force anything, right? But there has been a theme of

  12. last few years, and really, it's been rain re IGN, right?

  13. And we get that out of a fission is chapter 2 verse.

    Isaiah 2 chapter mention

  14. Number 6, Ephesians chapter 2 verse number six says and he

    Ephesians 2 chapter mention

  15. Jesus raised us up. Together and made us sit

  16. together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

  17. So the emphasis issue is raining him and staying seated in that

  18. position of authority and then in our kingdom rise which we do

  19. every other year. There was another word by the

  20. spirit of God, through a doctor GE and just want to remind you

  21. of that. And combine these feet, two

  22. things and then we'll launch out into some specifics, but it was

  23. a great word that he gave us but really He was one of Simply

  24. Revival and Awakening, everybody say Revival and Awakening.

  25. And so that became a very specific goal and passion of the

  26. ministry currently and going forward, all right?

  27. Because we are expecting and have seen many thing great

  28. things transpired since that time, and we're just getting

  29. started, we're just getting started.

  30. You know, in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, we

  31. get a see the life of Jesus. His interaction with people in

  32. the training of the disciples. Now in the Book of Matthew at

  33. the very end the very last chapter Matthew 28 there's what

  34. we call the Great Commission, really?

  35. There's two great commissions that the Lord Jesus Christ gave

  36. one is found in Mark chapter 16 we'll get to that in just a

    Mark 16 chapter mention

  37. second. The other one I want to talk

  38. about right now is Matthew 28 and I feel it's very imperative

  39. to bring this up as View with those two words is time to rain.

  40. It's time for Revival, it's time for awakening, it's time to

  41. rain, it's time for Revival, it's time for awakening and we

  42. need to line up with this Great Commission.

  43. Jesus, the head of the church gave a Great Commission.

  44. It's not an average commission, it's a noble cause and the word

  45. commission means Co mission. That means we're working

  46. together with him. He's not doing all the work.

  47. Himself. Neither, are we doing all the

  48. work ourselves we're working together?

  49. He is the head of the church. And we are the body, all right?

  50. And the head gives all the operations.

  51. All the directives, all the guidance.

  52. The head has the vision for what he wants to see done in the

  53. Earth. And it's but it's the body that

  54. actually I'm operates what the head wants to do.

  55. So this first Great Commission is found in Matthew chapter 28

    Matthew 28:16–20

  56. verses 16 through 20 and we'll read this from the new King

  57. James version then the eleven disciples went away in the

  58. Galilee to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.

  59. Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Jesus, they

  60. worshiped him, but some doubted and Jesus came and spoke to them

  61. saying all authority has been given to me in heaven and on

  62. Earth, here's the first commission, go, therefore and

  63. make disciples one translation says teach All Nations,

  64. baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and of

  65. the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe.

  66. Observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I Am With,

  67. You Always even to the End of the Age.

  68. So I want to point out some things in this first Great

  69. Commission that we're working together with the Lord Jesus

  70. Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We're working with them

  71. together. He said to Go Make Disciples or

  72. teach All Nations. That were teach, literally means

  73. to be a disciple of one or two follow.

  74. Jesus instructions and precepts. This is important because he's

  75. giving us Direction. He says he'll Go Make Disciples

  76. of all Nations. So you're going to follow his

  77. instructions, he's his precepts. He said all nations every race,

  78. every tribe. Every color we are To Go Make

  79. Disciples of every nation, every race, every tribe and he said

  80. that you are to teach them. To observe the word.

  81. Observed means this, we are to teach people to guard to keep

  82. and to attend to carefully. Touch your neighbor.

  83. Say don't get distracted. Look to the one on the other

  84. side. They say, don't get distracted

  85. to God, you know, in the beginning, some of your looking

  86. at the wall but it's okay. There's power in confession. in

  87. the beginning, you know, God created Adam and he placed him

  88. in the garden, he said, year to guard, The garden and Adam

  89. failed to attend to, to keep her to watch carefully, what God

  90. commanded and he let the enemy persuade him.

  91. His wife, you know, which he gave in to what she suggested

  92. but he didn't keep what God had said to do, right?

  93. And so when we got in this first commissioned man, we are going

  94. out with the great news of Truth by the power of the Holy Ghost

  95. and we're explaining to people, man.

  96. This is a great life in Christ and if you just follow The plan,

  97. the precepts and the instructions of God.

  98. It's going to be a wonderful Adventure on the earth.

  99. You know, Salvation is just the beginning.

  100. If you've ever been with anchor Fay, if you've been effort with

  101. anchor, Faith Church for any period of time, you know, that

  102. salvation man is a wonderful experience in God, but it's just

  103. the beginning of a life with him.

  104. We start with life. With God, the moment we give our

  105. life to him. So we have a relationship now,

  106. just now when we die, we go to Heaven, There is vital

  107. communication happening right now is Doctor GE says Throne

  108. Room activity. Where we can communicate with

  109. God on a daily basis for the plan, the purpose and the

  110. intent. He has for us on the earth, you

  111. study Genesis to Revelations. There's always a plan that God

  112. has for every man and woman and you'll see it lay it out.

  113. And, you know, in those in those books in the Bible.

  114. So Where to Go Make Disciples of all Nations, teaching them to

  115. observe everything that Jesus commanded.

  116. The Second Great Commission is found in Mark chapter 16 verse

    Mark 16 chapter mention

  117. number 15. Now this has a little different

  118. spin on it. I really want to put a greater

  119. emphasis not that the other ones, not important because

  120. obviously it's of equal importance, but just want to

  121. highlight this one to a greater extent, Mark chapter 16 verse

    Mark 16 chapter mention

  122. number. 15 Jesus said to the disciples, he said to them, go

  123. starts the same. Way, go don't sit.

  124. Go and all the world. Everybody say World say world

  125. and preach the gospel to Every Creature.

  126. Now it's interesting when you look up this word world in the

  127. Greek which is what the New Testament was written and it's

  128. actually the word Cosmos. Which defined as this inapt and

  129. harmonious Arrangement or constitution in order or a

  130. government. So, really, it's the world is

  131. how Society runs. The arrangement of how Society

  132. runs. So one commission says Go Make

  133. Disciples this other one says, go into all the world all the

  134. cosmos into every sector of society.

  135. Now it's been studied throughout history when you look at a

  136. sectors of society or an arrangement of how a nation

  137. operates. Their seven things that every

  138. nation has as principles. All right, I'm going to give

  139. those to you tonight. So if you're taking notes you

  140. can write down a through F that's the way I remember it.

  141. So the word world when it comes to sectors of society, these

  142. seven things Define what a world is the arrangement, the order

  143. and Jesus told us to what go into all the world.

  144. So he's telling us to go into these seven areas, right?

  145. And to preach the gospel to every creature.

  146. So number one, a is arts and entertainment.

  147. And every sector of society throughout history, there's

  148. always been some form of arts and entertainment.

  149. Secondly, B is for business, there's always some kind of

  150. marketplace or financial transactions, whether it's

  151. bartering or monetary, but there's all these businesses in

  152. every society, the C stands for congregations.

  153. All right, there's all these communities and events of people

  154. that are getting together in any sector of society, d stands for

  155. Direct Media, which for us would be like social media, Holly you

  156. loo, Hallelujah. I was gonna say, Julia,

  157. Hallelujah, but Direct Media, right?

  158. E stands for education in any sector of society.

  159. There's always some form of education and the last one, F

  160. stands for family and every society throughout history there

  161. is always obviously families involved in that Society.

  162. Jesus said, I want you to go into all the world, these 7

  163. things and I want you to preach Proclaim publish the gospel.

  164. The good news to every creature. So this needs to be in the

  165. Forefront of our mind, when it comes to the plan of God for

  166. your life. What sector of society are you

  167. going to be in tune in tomorrow that you can go out and

  168. influence? It makes life exciting?

  169. When, you know, man, I got the greater one on the inside.

  170. My mind's being renewed to the word of God.

  171. I'm exercising, Authority. And every day is a day of

  172. purpose and a day, a passion, there needs to be a burner, a

  173. passion on the inside of us. When we get up in the morning

  174. that says, man, I can't wait to get out and influence and affect

  175. one of these seven areas of society.

  176. And there's not a greater time in history, than right now,

  177. there's a lot of darkness in America, but guess what?

  178. It just keeps getting lighter in the kingdom of God and don't

  179. look at it from the - look at it, from the Positive.

  180. There is a lot of people to reach, their reminds me of

  181. story, a to traveling shoe salesman than went to Africa and

  182. they called back to check in, to the home office and the first

  183. salesman called back and said that's horrible.

  184. Nobody wears shoes here. The second sales May call back.

  185. He said it's great, nobody wears shoes here.

  186. Right? So we get to get up in the

  187. morning with a passion with the burn.

  188. What are you going to go out? You're going to get in the Arts

  189. and entertainment, you going to get in a business, you're going

  190. to get in a congregation, you're going to get in a Direct Media,

  191. right? You're gonna get an education,

  192. you're gonna get in a government.

  193. I think I skipped g.i. Skip G, didn't I get?

  194. There's all these government in every sector side and F is for

  195. family but what are you? Can you go out and God has a

  196. plan for every born-again believer every child of God and

  197. he is the master planner. You gotta trust that as Proverbs

  198. 3 says trust in the Lord with all of your heart, don't lean to

  199. your understanding acknowledge Him and guess what, he will

  200. direct your path, Jeremiah chapter 29.

    Jeremiah 29 chapter mention

  201. Verse number 11 says, I know the plans that I have for you, God

  202. knows the plans that he has for you plans to prosper you and not

  203. to harm you. Now, he's given this prophetic

  204. word through the Prophet. Jeremiah, you know, Jeremiah was

  205. what they called the weeping prophet.

  206. Nobody really liked him. He didn't have a lot of friends

  207. on Facebook. But man, nobody wanted to listen

  208. to him, they rejected his message, but you know what, he

  209. was right in the middle of the plan and the purpose of God, and

  210. people did not move him, and you cannot let people move you.

  211. Her. Let me say it this way.

  212. You should not let people move you when you know.

  213. All right. God this is your established

  214. plan for my life so he said, I know the plan, sorry have you.

  215. This is word is coming because they're getting ready to go in

  216. the 70 years of captivity because of all the sin and all

  217. the idolatry that the children of Israel LED in your allies at

  218. sin is like Kryptonite to Superman Just for an analogy.

  219. It weakens us, it it tears. Down our spiritual strength, it

  220. fogs our vision. And eventually, it takes us out

  221. of the plan of God, and the children of Israel, let so much

  222. idolatry in and so much sin that God brought judgment on them,

  223. but he was giving them a word saying, you're going in a

  224. Babylon, Babylonian captivity for 70 years, 70 years.

  225. But guess what? I know the plans that I have for

  226. you and you're going to come up out of it.

  227. So there's always hope say there's always hope say things

  228. can't get better. In Ephesians chapter 1 verse

    Ephesians 1 chapter mention

  229. number 11, the Bible says in him.

  230. Also, we have obtained an inheritance being predestined,

  231. according to the purpose of him who works, all things, according

  232. to the counsel of his will now, God has a plan for us.

  233. The question is, are you lining up with his plan?

  234. He has a Destiny for you. He has a purpose for you.

  235. He has counsel for you according to his will, but guess what?

  236. We have to lie. Line up with that, we are free

  237. will more agents. So we have the ability to make a

  238. choice whether we do or whether we don't You know, when Moses

  239. went up on the mountain with God, God gave him.

  240. The blueprint. Gave him the Plan, gave him the

  241. architectural drawing for the Tabernacle and it was elaborate

  242. in its detail. How much more in the New

  243. Testament because we live in a greater Covenant is God, have a

  244. master plan for your life. You know.

  245. The Bible says that we are the temple or the Tabernacle the

  246. Holy Ghost. He puts so much in the

  247. Tabernacle in the old, Covenant. How much more is he putting into

  248. your life today? Now, all this in mind when we go

  249. into all the world a through f. I want you to look at Matthew

    Matthew 5 chapter mention

  250. chapter 5 verse number 13 and 14.

  251. We have two purposes when we go into all the world to purposes,

  252. when we go into all the world in Matthew chapter 5 verses 13

    Matthew 5:13–14

  253. through 14, it says you all you are the salt of the earth,

  254. somebody say salt. he says, but at the salt losses, Its flavor.

  255. How shall be season? It is then good for nothing but

  256. to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

  257. So, the first aspect is listen, we are salt to go out into the

  258. world. Secondly says you are the light

  259. of the world. A city set on a hill that cannot

  260. be hidden nor do they light a lamp and put it under the

  261. basket, but on a lampstand and it gives light to the all who

  262. are in the house. Let your light so shine before

  263. men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in

  264. Heaven. So when we go into all the

  265. world, there's two things we're doing.

  266. We're being salt and we're being light.

  267. Listen, when it comes, Is to salt.

  268. In order for it to work, it has to make contact.

  269. You can have salt in your cabinet but it does no good on

  270. your food unless it makes contact.

  271. So we need to get around some people, hallelujah.

  272. Salt has healing properties to it.

  273. So, you become a healing balm when you go out into the world

  274. because you have truth and the Bible says, you shall know the

  275. truth. And the truth will what set you

  276. free. So he said, number one, your

  277. salt when you go in the world, secondly, your light salt.

  278. I call Active evangelism light. I call silent evangelism because

  279. light doesn't make a sound, but you see it?

  280. and to me, this is just your daily character and conduct How

  281. do you carry yourself? How do you conduct yourself?

  282. There's a real dear friend of mine at Rhema.

  283. He's been there for some time. As name's Brian Cumberland.

  284. He's been to the church actually many many, many years ago to

  285. actually teach support of Ministry Conference for us

  286. because he's been at Rhema Bible Church with Pastor.

  287. Oh Marcy, real Bible College and myself and my wife graduated

  288. from for since 1980, something went from Pennsylvania.

  289. And he just stayed there, that's where God has signed them.

  290. So he worked a secular job and just served he end up getting to

  291. the Head Usher position. You know, 20 years of service,

  292. he did the the cancer, Outreach at the local hospital and just

  293. served wherever they needed it. Wherever God was leading him, he

  294. was just faithful and got plugged in, but he worked for a

  295. certain company and that actually helped other a

  296. Christian Ministries. Do some advertising, some

  297. different data stuff, and he was a supervisor for that company.

  298. And one day he came in and they stripped him of his title and

  299. demoted him and gave him a reduction in pay.

  300. Hallelujah chance to be light. So he said, you know, when I go

  301. home, I slop on the bed everyone.

  302. So I have a real good pity party and cry, but I get back over in

  303. the spirit. I'd pray through and I'd go and

  304. I'm what Colossians 3:23 says, whatever you do, do it heartily

    Colossians 3:23

  305. as unto the Lord and not unto man.

  306. You know, this isn't the first time that a man or a woman.

  307. Will has been demoted in this story.

  308. I'm telling you. It's happened in the Bible.

  309. Joseph. Rose in rank only to be wrongly

  310. accused and wrongly sit-ins and thrown in prison.

  311. But when God is with you, you always rise to the top when your

  312. phone the plan of God and working together with him and

  313. maintaining a righteous life, God will always have your eyes.

  314. So even in prison, he became second to the warden and then

  315. when you think that man you people forgot about me because

  316. he interpreted to dream. This one was restored to the

  317. position with the King. He told that person, please

  318. remember to tell the king when you're restored, because I'm

  319. giving you, the prophetic interpretation, your dream that

  320. I'm wrongly in this Prezi. You know what?

  321. Two whole Years Ago by the guy forgets about him, the King has

  322. a dream. And the guy says, oh, yeah,

  323. There's a guy in the prison. You know, that's a lot of

  324. opportunities. A 13-year process when a read

  325. through the Bible and just a couple chapters.

  326. But to put yourself in his shoes, it was a process that

  327. obviously he forgave. He didn't get bitter, he trust

  328. the Lord, no matter what so Brian, you know just kept

  329. working Faithfully at this company and you know what,

  330. eventually they restored his pay, they restored his position,

  331. but it was shortly after that that Rhema the ministry that we

  332. graduated from called him and said, hey, we want you to be

  333. over the whole book distribution.

  334. I like that because I don't who wants to fill out a resume.

  335. And go through an interview, you know, the Bible says seek first,

  336. the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things

  337. will be added to you. I like that phone call.

  338. So now he's, you know, I talked to him often because we're all

  339. we know, we're ordering stuff for the ultra Care Ministry but

  340. he's doing a wonderful, got a job and God just exotic but he

  341. was light to that company. When he could have been

  342. complaining to other employees when he could have complained to

  343. his spouse when he could have let that situation take him

  344. down, he chose to Reign. He chose this a seated in

  345. Heavenly places. And if we're going to have

  346. expect Revival in Awakening, we need to maintain our I love

  347. walk. We meet, we need to maintain our

  348. righteousness walk so God could use us to a great degree.

  349. How bad do you want to be used of God?

  350. Isaiah man had a vision. Of Heaven.

  351. And man, if we could just stop in our spiritual eyes will be

  352. open. He said woe unto me when he saw

  353. the vision of my man undone God took coals from the altar, touch

  354. his lips to purify, his speech. And then Isaiah said, Use Me,

  355. Lord, Use Me Lord, and that should be the Cry of every

  356. believer danker Faith Church during this season of Revival

  357. Awakening. And raining is Use Me Lord. so

  358. see when your character and the call, or the purpose lineup, you

  359. have credibility so light silent evangelism has to do with the

  360. character that you display on a daily basis, how do you Respond

  361. or react in situations at work at home.

  362. Hallelujah. You know you get to practice

  363. this on a daily basis. This is the good thing about it.

  364. Hallelujah, Philippians chapter 1 verses 9 through 11

    Philippians 1:9–11

  365. Philippians chapter 1 verses 9 through 11.

    Philippians 1:9–11

  366. Before I read this, I've been had on my spirit this year to

  367. study the life of Jesus. So I'm obedient to What God

  368. Says. So, I take an hour each week,

  369. and I'm studying through this and up to this point thus far,

  370. I've studied 28 miracles, signs wonders, and healings, that

  371. Jesus has done of those 28, miracles, signs wonders, and

  372. healings four of them were in the synagogue. 24 of them took

  373. place outside the walls. Think on that. so, when you're

  374. out, you come to church, To get equipped Ephesians 4, says the

  375. fivefold ministry, the pastor, the Evangelist, the past, the

  376. pastor, the teacher, the Avenged Apostle, the prophet were given

  377. what for the equipping of the Saints, for the work of the

  378. ministry, to go out into the world.

  379. So that the body of Christ would what beatified 24, miracles,

  380. signs wonders, and healing took place because Saints Where are

  381. were and are still being trained up under anointed Ministry to go

  382. out and all the world. So the exciting Adventure

  383. happens at your work happens at your home.

  384. Matter fact, off the top of my head, two or three Miracles

  385. actually happen in a just somebody's home that Jesus.

  386. Did he healed get this? Hallelujah.

  387. Peter's mother-in-law. He cares about in-laws and he

  388. cares about Outlaws. But wherever you go Gotta use

  389. you, whether it's inside these walls are outside outside the

  390. walls but predominately in the life of Jesus most took place

  391. outside of a synagogue or what we call a church.

  392. So you know that I say the service really begins when you

  393. get outside and you're saying, Holy Spirit, I'm at the gas

  394. station. Holy Spirit, I'm in Public's.

  395. I'm at Walmart right? I'm getting my oil changed.

  396. I'm at the gym. Hallelujah, I just had an

  397. opportunity recently to flesh out.

  398. Praise the Lord. I'm at the gym.

  399. And have two benches. It's a mild crowd, sometimes

  400. it's really packed. So, I try to be understanding,

  401. you know, just walking love. I'm always aware of somebody's

  402. using a piece of equipment, but this guy comes up and older guy,

  403. you know, probably in the 60s and kind of looks at me real.

  404. Rude, and mean, and he said, are you using that bench?

  405. Yeah, I am. I'll be done about Minutes, he

  406. just keeps on staring at me real stupid.

  407. I said, do you have a problem? I said, oh, I better check

  408. myself right now because I can feel I can feel it.

  409. And the deal was the bench that he wanted.

  410. One was adjustable once flat. So what I do, light 20 seconds,

  411. I have self-control. Put the flesh down, put the

  412. emotions down. I said, you know what, I'm, I'll

  413. give you this bench. You don't have to wait three

  414. minutes. You know, I even took it over

  415. there. For my said, you owe me wipe it

  416. down for you because that's what nuts are, right?

  417. I said, praise the Lord, that's Victory right there, silent

  418. evangelism, right? But these are opportunities

  419. where we can witness for the Lord.

  420. Jesus Christ, right? Philippians chapter 1, verses 9

    Philippians 1:9–11

  421. through 11 is said in this. I Pray.

  422. That your love. Listen to this prayer. man, if

  423. you could just pray, These prayers daily over your life.

  424. There's several of prayers that the Apostle Paul prays one.

  425. This is one of them and I've been praying this regularly from

  426. just different translations. It's a very powerful and this is

  427. for the church or for any believer that, you know, Now

  428. this is from the amplifier by we said this I Pray so he's praying

  429. that your love may abound more and more displaying itself in a

  430. greater depth in real knowledge and in Practical Insight so that

  431. you may learn to recognize and treasure what is excellent.

  432. Identifying the best and distinguishing moral differences

  433. and that you may be pure and blameless until the day of

  434. Christ. Now this is the part.

  435. I want to get you actually leading lie or a living lives

  436. that lead. Others away from sin. let's

  437. let's read that again, actually actually Living lies that lead.

  438. Others away from sin, actually, living lives that lead others

  439. away from sin. Filled with the fruit of

  440. righteousness, which comes through Jesus Christ to the

  441. glory and praise of God. So that his glory may be both

  442. revealed and recognized. Now in Ephesians chapter 4, if

    Ephesians 4 chapter mention

  443. you're taking notes, write this down, if he's Chapter 4, verses

  444. 23 through 32. It says this Ephesians chapter

    Ephesians 4:23–32

  445. 4, verses 23 through 32. Now, this is written to the

  446. church. So, this is our instruction,

  447. this is our precepts. This is what we should be doing

  448. daily. It says, 'I'm be continually

  449. renewed, continually renewed continually renewed in the

  450. spirit of your mind. Having a fresh, untarnished,

  451. mental and spiritual attitude. Do you have a fresh mental, and

  452. spiritual attitude every day? This doesn't just automatically

  453. happen. He says, put on somebody say,

  454. put on. Do you put on clothes everyday?

  455. I hope so. But you need to put this on

  456. every day. Just like you make a choice and

  457. and some of us are elaborate laying out.

  458. Our wardrobes, right? How much more this spiritual

  459. things of life that we need to put on, right?

  460. The new self, the regenerated and renewed nature created in

  461. God's image Godlike. In the righteousness and

  462. Holiness of the truth living in a way.

  463. Listen to this living in a way that expresses to God your

  464. gratitude for your salvation. Let that sink in living in a way

  465. that expresses to God. Does your life Express to God?

  466. Your gratitude for him. Saving you Therefore reject all

  467. falsehood whether lying defrauding telling half truths

  468. spreading rumors. This is written to the church.

  469. Any such as these. So he just gives a little

  470. snippet of just a little bit. He said speak truth with one

  471. another. For we are we are all parts of

  472. one another. The body of Christ.

  473. It says, be angry at sin at a more amore.

  474. Amore at immorality, at Injustice, at ungodly Behavior

  475. yet. Do not send, do not sin, do not

  476. let your anger cause you shame nor allow it to last until the

  477. sun goes down. One translation, says be angry.

  478. And what sin? Not, don't let the sun go down

  479. on your anger. Are you dealing with things if

  480. you're going to be salt, and you're going to be light and

  481. you're going to go into all the world.

  482. It's going to thing called, take a thing called Consecration and

  483. dedication to the plan of God. How far do you want to go with

  484. God? Listen, there's a actually this

  485. happened. The Old Testament became became

  486. a type and Shadow for us. We know the story that for 430

  487. years, the children of Israel were in slavery in Egypt, right?

  488. And God sent a deliver. His name was Moses.

  489. Moses takes them out of slavery because the plan for God was to

  490. do that to lead his people out and God always brings you out to

  491. bring you in. So God had a plan to deliver

  492. them from Egypt and take them to this place called Canaan land.

  493. Now Egypt is on Land of not enough.

  494. They didn't have, you know, enough food enough supplies.

  495. I mean it was barely getting along existence since that's how

  496. some Believers are, as barely, you know, getting along, that's

  497. actually the Wilderness. Egypt was a land of really

  498. bondage. Canaan land was the land of more

  499. than enough. And just like that pray that

  500. your love may abound more and more God wants to really see

  501. greatness developed and maximizing your life.

  502. But you have to work with God this journey from Egypt, to

  503. Canaan, land was 11 days, but because of five cents found in

  504. 1st Corinthians chapter 10 which I won't get.

  505. No, it kept them from the plan of God.

  506. We can self destruct the plan of God for our lives by the

  507. choices. We make the thoughts we think.

  508. Or we can go on with God. So anyways, getting back, don't

  509. be angry, don't let the sun go down on your anger so let things

  510. go, drop it release it, let it go.

  511. One of the greatest Poise tricks, strategies of the devil

  512. is to get you offended with somebody.

  513. Life is too short. Man, it affects everything when

  514. you open up bitterness in your life.

  515. It starts on the inside, but it's Works its way out to where

  516. disease can start to ravage your body.

  517. The vice grip on your mind, will start to destroy the structure,

  518. your mind, but God has an antidote by the power of the

  519. Holy Ghost, we can forgive and let things go and live a fresh

  520. mental attitude. Every day, matter of fact,

  521. Matthew 5, as we read that Summit in that chapter says,

  522. pray for your enemies. And those that persecute you God

  523. makes his sun shine on the just and on the unjust.

  524. So, we used to say things like Lord, they don't know what

  525. they're doing. I'm not wrestling against flesh

  526. and blood. But against principalities and

  527. Powers, I realize they're letting something else, dominate

  528. them. So I'm not gonna get in the

  529. flesh. I'm gonna get in the spirit and

  530. keep my mentor my spiritual attitude, right?

  531. I'm on pray for them and lift them up.

  532. I pray for Laborers across their path today to plant seeds of

  533. life and sees the truth. That's how we handle it Church.

  534. Reading on do not give the devil an opportunity to lead you into

  535. sin by holding a grudge or nurturing anger or harboring

  536. resentment. Or cultivating bitterness.

  537. The thief, has the thief who has become a Believer must no longer

  538. steal but instead he must work hard, making an honest living

  539. producing that, which is good with his own hands so that he

  540. will have something to share with those in need.

  541. Do not let unwholesome foul profane worthless vulgar words

  542. ever come up out of your mouth. How you going to be alive for

  543. Jesus? If you're at work.

  544. And you're doing this, Hallelujah.

  545. Right. But only such speech is is good

  546. for building up others according to the need in the occasion.

  547. So that will be a blessing to those who hear you speak.

  548. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, but seek to please him by whom

  549. you were sealed and marked branded as God's Own for the day

  550. of redemption. The final deliverance from the

  551. consequences of sin, let all bitterness wrath anger, clamor

  552. Perpetual animosity, resentment strife, fault-finding and

  553. slander be put away from you. Meu along with every kind of

  554. malice, all spitefulness verbal verbal abuse and what is that

  555. last one? It's different.

  556. I like or they're not to the next one yet.

  557. I'll just skip that one because I'm not pronounce it.

  558. It's verse 32 be kind and helpful to one another readily

  559. and freely just as God in Christ also forgave you First

    1 Thessalonians 5 chapter mention

  560. Thessalonians chapter 5 verse number 23.

  561. Now may the God of Peace himself, sanctify, you through,

  562. and through, that is separate you from profane and vulgar

  563. things make you Pur Pur whole. And undamaged consecrated to

  564. him, set apart for his purpose, may your spirit and soul and

  565. body be complete and be found blameless at the coming of our

  566. Lord. Jesus Christ.

  567. So listen, I thought I said all that, because we are to be salt.

  568. We are to be light. Salt makes contact as active

  569. evangelism. Light is silent evangelism, but

  570. it still has a plan in the purpose of God to reach the

  571. world, a through F, those seven things in the set and then the

  572. sectors of society. Now, listen.

  573. As we're talking about Revival and Awakening, I believe.

  574. That it's time for an arrival and Awakening and one of these

  575. sectors of society, and that's the family.

  576. I believe and you can see it the breakdown.

  577. Right, the attack. The confusion.

  578. The modern philosophy. This goes against the plan of

  579. God. But the great news is man.

  580. We can have a Revival and an Awakening get on right into

  581. this. In this family sector of society

  582. and see a great Revival, come back to life and make priorities

  583. priorities, right. There's been such a breakdown.

  584. If you really you study history of America since its Inception.

  585. Really from in the early 1800s there was in my studies until

  586. about 1947 was the last one. There's three major philosophers

  587. that really started a Widow on a shape.

  588. The education sector through philosophy.

  589. But what happened is, you know, and World War Two, we had a lot

  590. of fathers that didn't come home or came home traumatized.

  591. And so the 60s was a really a the beginning of where we're at

  592. currently. You know, that's when if it

  593. feels good, do it. The hippie movement but like dr.

  594. Gigi pointed out, anytime that there is an attack of the devil

  595. on one of these sectors Society, there's always a man of God or a

  596. woman of God that he rises up. to stand in the Gap and to bring

  597. a word in due season to awaken the church, And as dr.

  598. Guy point out during Kingdom rise is that, you know, the

  599. charismatic movement took off in the early 70s and even Time

  600. Magazine, you know, the Jesus Freak movement, hippies are

  601. getting born again, give her life to Christ.

  602. Many are getting converted, they said, I had a greater social and

  603. economic impact than anything that happened in the 60s.

  604. But today, I believe there's going to be a great impact.

  605. When we position ourselves to do what the word says.

  606. I just want to challenge you. Remind you and review the

  607. importance of the family in this revival in this Awakening.

  608. And this year to rain You need to position yourselves, it's

  609. great to go to church. It's right to go to church, but

  610. we got to live this at the house.

  611. And you can God will never call you to do anything that you

  612. couldn't do. He wouldn't tell you anything

  613. that he had, dude, that he hasn't equips, you are graced

  614. you to do. In Malachi chapter 4, verses 5

    Malachi 4:5–6

  615. through 6, the word says this behold, Matthew Malachi chapter

    Malachi 4:5–6

  616. 4, verses 5 through 6 behold. I will send you Elijah the

  617. prophet before the coming of the great and Dreadful day of the

  618. Lord, and He will turn the hearts of the fathers.

  619. What to the children and the hearts of the children to their

  620. fathers, lest I come and strike the Earth with a curse.

  621. So the prophetic word is trying to get the Father's Heart to be

  622. turned towards the children. So there was, they weren't

  623. guarding, they weren't keeping, they weren't observing the

  624. Commandments, the precepts in the teachings of God, and the

  625. importance that they had in their roles as fathers.

  626. So the prophetic word was trying to tell them listen get back to

  627. what I told you tonight. God saying, get back to what

  628. I've told you. He said if you don't there's

  629. going to be Damage Done to the kids.

  630. And there's going to be a curse. On the earth and friends, I'm

  631. telling you, today, we are seeing the product of

  632. dysfunctional. Destructive families.

  633. It is a fact that a one out of four women are abused physically

  634. and it's typically by a relative or close friend of the family.

  635. And that doesn't mean register the emotional abuse.

  636. Now, I'm not trying to be negative.

  637. I'm trying to get us to rise up to the position that God has

  638. destined us for Right, but the reality that's happening.

  639. And there's a lot of men and women that are preoccupied with

  640. other things. But we need to get back to the

  641. priority and purpose of God. Now, the Bible lays out some

  642. very specific and wonderful truths regarding the duties of

  643. wives. And husbands, I'm just going to

  644. review these for you. I like the Amplified And so I'm

  645. going to read these particular versus.

  646. I'm going to read these to you have the Amplified but I just

  647. want to encourage you man. Don't make the home hell on

  648. Earth. Because marriage will be the

  649. closest thing to heaven or hell you can have on the Earth.

  650. The choice is yours. Now, when it comes to families

  651. to, I want us to take up a man to every state, Echo, mantle,

  652. I'm gonna challenge you for the next 30 days. if you have a lost

  653. relative or family member, raise your hand, So here's my

  654. challenge to you. Pray for them.

  655. We're talking about the family. This Justin husbands wives, this

  656. is cousins, uncles, aunts And laws.

  657. Right. Pray for him.

  658. We have the Pauline prayers out of guest relations.

  659. You and another prayer you can pray for.

  660. Miss found in Matthew chapter 9, towards in that chapter Jesus

    Matthew 9 chapter mention

  661. said, pray to the Lord of the Harvest, he would send out

  662. laborers. Into his Harvest field.

  663. So God commands us to pray for Laborers to be sent out.

  664. So any lost relative that you'd have pray for him?

  665. Because this is part of, this is your family right now.

  666. No, you're part of the family got, but this is your biological

  667. family. Why don't you pick up the mantle

  668. and pray for them. Now, I was doing this some years

  669. ago and I'm like, Lord, I just don't be checking off a box and

  670. feeling good about myself. I'm seeing.

  671. No manifestation, I'm calling out names of people in Texas.

  672. I'm calling out names of people in Ohio.

  673. These are my relatives that I'm calling out names of people in

  674. Oklahoma. And I'm not hearing because I

  675. know, Some of these people they get born again.

  676. They're calling Angier. I because they know how we live

  677. and they're going to ask questions.

  678. So I know if they have an encounter with God, guess who

  679. they're coming too. So here the testimony.

  680. But we were there visiting several Christmases back.

  681. And one of the Angie's cousins who I call us name out often

  682. before heaven. And for Laborers ago, across his

  683. path, he was talking to her, man, like I'm inside it there

  684. outside cooking pizzas on this nice brick stove of.

  685. And they just built. And, and I'm thinking, well,

  686. they talk about, Angie came back in and gave me the lowdown.

  687. The story though, he's not doesn't know God.

  688. I mean, never. Up in church.

  689. Unchurched family's wealthy is dad was in Insurance very

  690. affluent, but broke In their mind and in their Spirit, you

  691. know, always searching. We don't have God, you're always

  692. searching its insatiable. You always try to fill your life

  693. with something, but it's never enough.

  694. So you always go back thinking all this will bring me

  695. satisfaction but it never does. So he was telling Angie that he

  696. was at a PF. Chang's Restaurant on a Friday

  697. night, he's having all these stomach issues, you know, and

  698. he's going to the doctor, and he's just having trouble with

  699. digestion and, you know, go in the restroom.

  700. And so he's in, he's in the stall.

  701. At this p.f. Chang's go into the bathroom and

  702. this guy walks up next to him. And starts this conversation.

  703. So errands his name. He's like, what is this about?

  704. This guy's like trying to be really friendly next to me.

  705. And so they go, they go to the sink to wash your hands and the

  706. guy still continuing conversation and he's asking

  707. Aaron, and this is silent. You know, you have sign of

  708. answers and but this is so and so, what he's doing is It's

  709. fishing. He's putting bait on the line.

  710. He's saying all you're having some health problems you know

  711. there's there's maybe some some herbs and some dietary changes

  712. you can do or that could help with your healing process.

  713. So the guy follows him all the way back to the table.

  714. And by the time we get table he said can I pray for you?

  715. And Aaron said, sure. And so, man, this guy starts to

  716. preying on for the healing power of God, to hit him to go into

  717. his digestive tract to heal and to cure everything and you know

  718. what he got better. after he left, the waitress comes up and

  719. she said, you know who that was no.

  720. She said that's Todd White. Now, if you don't know, Todd why

  721. he's a radical evangelist that goes all over the world.

  722. And I mean, he he'll go out, he sold all the time if you've ever

  723. seen him, but I said, God, you are faithful.

  724. I prayed for years and that encounter happened.

  725. So you don't grow weary in well-doing.

  726. You have faith in God, that it works.

  727. So you pray for those lost ones and hopefully the Habit becomes

  728. and the passion becomes I'm going on past 30 days.

  729. Until I get a testimony now for husbands and wives.

  730. Specifically, First Peter chapter 3 verse number of verses

    1 Peter 3 chapter mention

  731. 1 through 7, just look straight ahead.

  732. If your spouse is sitting next to you, no elbows.

  733. Wives. likewise be submissive to your own husband's that even if

  734. some do not obey the word, They without a word.

  735. May be won by the conduct. Of their wives.

  736. Does it say to run out and find a Godly husband?

  737. If you're married, the Bible doesn't say that it says to by

  738. your conduct. By your lights, you can win them

  739. over. When they observe your chaste

  740. conduct accompanied by Fair, do not let your adornment be merely

  741. outward. Arranging the here wearing gold,

  742. or putting on fine apparel, rather, let it be the hidden

  743. person of the heart, with The Incorruptible beauty of a gentle

  744. and quiet Spirit, which is very precious.

  745. In the sight of God. This is the Bible not modern-day

  746. philosophy. There's big difference between

  747. truth and just what we think would be good information.

  748. Good information could lead you to hell.

  749. Truth will set you free. Rather I read it which is very

  750. precious. I got four in this manner.

  751. In former times the holy woman who trust in God.

  752. Also adorned themselves being submissive to their own

  753. husband's. As Sara obeyed, Abraham calling

  754. him Lord. Whose daughters you are.

  755. If you do good and do not be afraid with tear now, husband's

  756. you're not off the hook. This is for you husbands.

  757. Because I love the balance in the Bible balance is the key to

  758. life. So not only God is instruct the

  759. wise, but he also instructs the husband's.

  760. He said, likewise dwell with your wife.

  761. Now this translation, says understand another one says

  762. knowledge, let me just insert that Hosea in his book said that

  763. my people perish for a lack of knowledge men, husbands Hey man,

  764. you need to know and have knowledge about your wife.

  765. Do you realize she's not the same as you?

  766. Do you realize she doesn't think the same as you?

  767. you know, at Birth a man at the hemisphere in his brain is split

  768. when testosterone hits and he only functions out of one side

  769. of his brain. From that point on seriously, In

  770. one of my research, too. They said that a man's brains

  771. actually 10 to 11 percent bigger than a woman's brain.

  772. Now, the woman asks, why doesn't he use it more?

  773. And he's only using one side. But because he's only function

  774. out of one side, this will set you free in the marriage.

  775. Covenant, listen, ladies, he's a to be.

  776. Straight line. All right, so when you're

  777. talking to him, he's what, is he?

  778. Hey to be straight line if there's a problem.

  779. Guess what? We're going to fix it.

  780. Something's broken at the house. Man thinking a to be fix it.

  781. Now, the woman functions out of both sides of her brain.

  782. So she seeing see she see things in a grid.

  783. Not only she tell you what's broken.

  784. She tells you how I made her fill.

  785. And most men cuz ready to be. They think if they just fix the

  786. problem, they solved it. But Ministry is listening.

  787. So men. Need to learn how to listen to

  788. How it made them feel. You got that?

  789. You shall know the truth. And the truth shall set you

  790. free. So dwell with them according to

  791. knowledge. Now, if you don't have knowledge

  792. discovering her is a process, not an event.

  793. And if you're a real man, a God, you're on a lifelong journey,

  794. commitment and Covenant to discovering all the gifts and

  795. all the treasures that God's put in that vessel of yours.

  796. So, it's a process. You do this while you're

  797. courting. Oh, men are good at it.

  798. We you listen. Don't you?

  799. Come on, guys. Come on.

  800. You remember. In those dating days, I mean,

  801. the clothes smell good, right? The car was washed.

  802. The door was opened by you, right?

  803. The meal. You paid for, right?

  804. And you were just like, just talk to me all night.

  805. Matter of fact, sometimes after you get done, you'd go back and

  806. call her when you get the house. Some of you that were really

  807. involved fell asleep on the phone together.

  808. Right. But then you get married and you

  809. get the hunter mentality. You got it, you stuffed it in

  810. your mounted it and it's hanging on the wall.

  811. Like every other picture, that you barely look at anymore.

  812. So there's going to be a Revival in the family.

  813. Then men have to search seek prey discover their wives

  814. understand them. And likewise you know we get

  815. personality test and premarital counseling just for the fact you

  816. know there's flag Maddox. They're saying Windsor's,

  817. Melancholy is there calorics? And there's no two personalities

  818. when it comes to marriage that are the same.

  819. So just the fact that a man, Willie thinks that a half of his

  820. brain and a woman seat thinks out of both.

  821. The personalities are different too but God knows what he's

  822. doing. So caloric is what driven?

  823. Militant flag Maddox laid-back. Put those two in a room

  824. together. How's that going to work?

  825. You know, saying one wants to make everybody happy.

  826. Be the life of the party. Melancholy is all admin details.

  827. You get a melon calling a sanguine who's alive for the

  828. party. How's that going to work, right?

  829. But God knows what he's doing. Say pray, pray, the family that

  830. prays together stays together. In a marriage, covenant.

  831. You get to see. everything from strengths to weaknesses and in

  832. all that you get apply a gossip a I told my wife when we got

  833. married divorce is not an option.

  834. And forgiveness is not an option.

  835. If this thing is going to be successful and we just are

  836. celebrating 20 years, this week where our girls out east coast

  837. Camp was actually back in April, but we've been hot and heavy in

  838. a remodel in the home. Which is been very consuming.

  839. So we said this is going to be like our appetizer, but I made a

  840. b. So this doesn't solve it.

  841. I still got to plan something after this loot.

  842. Hallelujah. But it's been like heaven on

  843. Earth for the most part, I'm telling you guys and it works

  844. for anybody 90-plus percent of the time, man.

  845. The kingdom of God is Manifest in in our relationship, probably

  846. 95%. Righteousness peace and joy is

  847. flowing and it's nothing special about me or her.

  848. You know, it's helped a lot in our marriage.

  849. Covenant is, we are more evaluating ourselves than we are

  850. the other person. A lot of times when it comes to

  851. counseling in the marriage covenant we get a list, you

  852. know, not a little list but they come in with in their mind

  853. everything that they're not doing and we got a real quick

  854. Point, them back. What is your role?

  855. What did God tell you to do? Yeah, your husband's a jerk.

  856. He's an idiot. I concur.

  857. So what are you going to do? The Bible says wives.

  858. Without a word by your conduct. That takes Faith, right?

  859. So but if you would just evaluate yourself, David said in

  860. Psalms 26, to examine Me O, Lord, test me and see if there's

  861. anything in me. That's not right.

  862. And if you would just evaluate yourself more and then be a

  863. great cheerleader to your spouse and pray for them, man.

  864. You would experience a greater degree of Heaven on Earth and

  865. we'd see a Revival and an Awakening, listen, the church

  866. right now statistically is about the same rate divorce wise as

  867. the world and that should not be.

  868. All right, it says so dwell with them according to knowledge back

  869. to 1st Peter chapter 3. Verse number 7, it says giving

  870. honor to the wife giving honor to the wife as to the weaker

  871. vessel. Now listen weaker does not mean

  872. she's Physically. She's a little bit less strong

  873. than you hopefully. and hopefully she don't know

  874. Taekwondo MMA, but if we're so strong, Men.

  875. Then God would have gave us childbirth.

  876. The weaker vessel do means this. You know in house is typically

  877. you have plates cups that are for everyday use, right?

  878. That are more durable, correct? You run them through the

  879. dishwasher every day, they're being used.

  880. But then typically you have what you call a china cabinet, in

  881. your formal dining room, right? And what's in there, China?

  882. China breaks a little bit easier, right?

  883. And it's a little more delicate but it is very costly and very

  884. valuable that's what the Holy Spirit saying is honor value,

  885. your wife as the weaker vessel, listen set your prayers will not

  886. be hindered. So men once again to close this,

  887. this one out I'm going to finish on a fusions 5.

  888. But man, if you're not treating your wife right?

  889. Your prayers are hitting the ceiling and coming back down and

  890. that becomes a very freakish frustrated.

  891. Discouraging spiritual walk with God, I like what I heard?

  892. Mark Hankins say one time. He said, he got on his wife in

  893. the kitchen and he went upstairs to pray to God.

  894. And God said, I listened to you right now.

  895. If you know, Mark, Hankins voice, it's real deep.

  896. He said, Lord, I thought we were buddies.

  897. You know, why don't you listen me?

  898. You ain't cheating my daughter, white.

  899. Right? You know, he does his voice, he

  900. said, you better get back down there and apologize.

  901. Say said he went back down the kitchen and he's fighting his

  902. pride. You know, he's talking about the

  903. weather and Different things. Finally, he said, I want to

  904. apologize. I wasn't treating you, right?

  905. And it for real man, blows it a real man repents and he takes

  906. responsibility for his actions. Let's close in Ephesians chapter

    Ephesians 5 chapter mention

  907. 5. All right.

  908. From the Amplified Bible, I read these 11 verses Ephesians

    Ephesians 5 chapter mention

  909. chapter 5 verse starting to verse 22.

  910. It says this wives be subject to your own husbands Listen to this

  911. as a service to the Lord. So really, it's not just your

  912. husband, you're trying to honor. You're trying to honor God in

  913. this. when you're not, when you got to think of this, but when

  914. I'm honoring my husband, I'm really honoring the Lord It

  915. says, for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is

  916. the head of the church himself, being the savior of the body,

  917. but as the church is subject to Christ, so also why should be

  918. subject to the husbands and everything respecting both their

  919. position as protector and the responsibility to God as head of

  920. the house. And I like the way the Amplified

  921. reads it because some denominations use this as a

  922. stamp why? I'm the head of the house with?

  923. No, you're an idiot. I've used that twice just

  924. because I'm trying to get men a real man's.

  925. The greatest is servant of all I don't have to usually when you

  926. have to pronounce your title in that kind of heart attitude,

  927. you're trying to establish Authority.

  928. But really you can earn honor. And the greatest way men that

  929. you earn honor and trust with your wife is by keeping your

  930. word. If you say you're going to do

  931. something, do it that builds trust.

  932. All right, so it says respecting both their position as protector

  933. in the responsibility of God as the head of the house.

  934. Now listen husband's love your wives, seek the highest good for

  935. her. Surround her with a caring,

  936. unselfish love. Let me give you an example of

  937. that. There's been times I've come

  938. home and man, there's dishes in the sink.

  939. Last thing I want to do, especially when you're putting

  940. out all day, right? And you're and you're gone all

  941. day and you're, you know, just High productivity, but I've sat

  942. there doing dishes before just thinking the greatest is servant

  943. of all matter of fact, I had to take correction from my wife

  944. because I got didn't such a servant mentality that she said,

  945. the girls have to do something. I'm just, you know, to the, to

  946. the everything within me. I'm trying to be the greatest

  947. example to my daughter. So when they're done with their

  948. plates, let me take you to the dishwasher.

  949. Let me load it. But you know what?

  950. I heated to my wife, because she was right.

  951. They got to learn how to take their dishes.

  952. Clean and put it cuz I'm not teaching them to just get along

  953. with me. I'm trying to teach them to get

  954. along without me. And if they never know how to

  955. fold some laundry, or do some chores, but the same times as

  956. many times were man. Unselfish love to says, I'm

  957. going to, I'm going to serve, I'm gonna clean the floor,

  958. right? I'm going to fold some laundry.

  959. Hallelujah. These are practical things that

  960. show, unselfish, I'm going to speak, I'm gonna go shopping.

  961. Ha ha with my wife glory to God, why do you guys, why are you do

  962. a lot of ladies, keep the bags with receipt receipts to anybody

  963. else does that. Always who said always be brave.

  964. Okay. I see I saw the point.

  965. How many men like to shop? Okay, we got a couple good.

  966. Ha ha ha. I'm talking like clothes

  967. shopping. Eric purses, I'm just trying to

  968. get unselfish love, right as you sow, you shall read.

  969. So you do some things that she likes, more of the story just as

  970. Christ. Also loved the church and gave

  971. himself up for her that he might sanctify the church.

  972. Having cleansed her by the washing of the water with the

  973. word of God. You know, the way that you speak

  974. to your wife, men is so important.

  975. You want to wash or with the words of your mouth, right?

  976. You want to speak the word of God over or you want to pray

  977. over? You want to talk to her as Jesus

  978. would talk to the church, right? And you want to build her up in

  979. the things of God, so that in turn he might present the church

  980. himself in glorious Splendor without spot or wrinkle or any

  981. such thing but that she would be holy set apart for God and

  982. blameless even so husbands should and are morally.

  983. Obligated to love their own wise being in a sense, their own

  984. body. This is this is a litmus test

  985. right here. It says he Who loves his own

  986. wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own

  987. body, but instead he nourishes it, he protects his it, and he

  988. cherishes it just as Christ as a church because we are members

  989. and parts of his body. For this reason, a man shall

  990. leave his father and his mother should be joined and be faithful

  991. devoted to his wife. The two shall become one flesh.

  992. This mystery of two, becoming one is great, but I'm speaking

  993. with reference to the relationship with Christ in the

  994. church. Have reached man, among you

  995. without exception is to love his wife.

  996. As his very own self with behavior, worthy of respect and

  997. esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of

  998. loving-kindness and the wife must see to it that she respects

  999. and delights and her husband that she notices him prefers him

  1000. and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him honoring

  1001. him and holding him. Dear Ephesians chapter 6 will

    Ephesians 6 chapter mention

  1002. finish with this little thing and then we'll close because I

  1003. want to just touch on parenting. It says in Ephesians 6:1

    Ephesians 6:1

  1004. children obey. Your parents in the Lord.

  1005. That is except their guidance in their discipline as his

  1006. representatives. For this is right for obedience,

  1007. teaches wisdom and self-discipline.

  1008. Honor esteem value is precious your father and mother and be

  1009. respectful to them. This is the first command with a

  1010. promise that it may be well with you and that you may have a long

  1011. life on the earth. It goes on to say, fathers, do

  1012. not provoke your children to anger.

  1013. Do not exasperate them to the point of resentment with demands

  1014. that our trivia unreasonable. Humility in her abusive nor by

  1015. showing favoritism or indifference to any of them

  1016. don't be in. Different in your parenting.

  1017. Be all in bringing them up. 10 early with loving kindness and

  1018. discipline instructional. Lord, listen parenting is not

  1019. for wimps and I just I close it. This be actively engaged with

  1020. your kids. I remember many many, many years

  1021. ago I was outside doing some yard work and Abby was talking

  1022. to me. She was little at that time and

  1023. man, she was just a chatterbox, she would just go on and on and

  1024. on, you know, some like I'm never going to get any work done

  1025. if I don't work. So, I'm like doing stuff.

  1026. I had my back turned here and the Holy Spirit told.

  1027. Told me, right? They said turn around and look

  1028. her in the eyes. And I've tried my best from that

  1029. day, forward by unction of the spirit to make sure, I give eye

  1030. contact to everybody in my household because it shows that

  1031. I care. It shows that I'm listening it,

  1032. feeds them emotionally, right, and lets them know that I value

  1033. them. Thanks again so much for
