Hello, Hello, Hello, Praisethe Mighty name of King Jesus, our
Lord and our Savior. And welcome, welcome, welcome to Have you heard?
Yeah? Have you heard that?We've been talking about love, what
love is in a godly marriage,what it looks like, what it should
(00:24):
be for us, the children ofGod Almighty. Have you heard about that?
Prayse God. We have been talkingabout that. You know, a
husband loving his wife or wife lovingtheir husband. You know, so when
you not just for marriage, whenyou're engaged or you're dating to get engaged,
(00:45):
to get married. Praise God,you understand love. It's not what
it's not you know how the worldviewed or a feeling tickling. There are
some feelings involved, of course,yes, yes, yes, So we're
gonna resume we left off. AndI wanted to talk about a house divided
(01:10):
against itself in Mark three twenty five. You know what Jesus was talking about,
because in a marriage we there hasto be harmony, unity, you
know, togetherness, oneness, sothat it won't divide. Because, as
the Word of God says, ahouse divided against itself cannot stand. Dear
(01:34):
Heaveny Father, in the mighty nameof King Jesus, who is our Lord
and our savior. We come todayto say thank you, Father God,
for this time that you blessed usto come together, that our spirits may
be nourished, and that in allour getting we get an understanding of a
house divided against itself from a godlyprospective. Lord, help all those who
(01:57):
marriages are in trouble. I askyou to reconcile these marriages, to intervene
and don't let that divorce take place, to get rid of that legal separation
and draw their husband and wife backtogether as one in Christ. Father God,
I pray for the communication of thesemarriages, and I ast you to
bless this podcast to be a blessingto those marriages, Father God, so
(02:22):
that your name will be glorified.And Lord, Yes, I ask and
all that I'm getting blessed to peopleto get an understanding that a house in
Christ Jesus, a marriage should notbe divided, and that you are that
you have provided that solution. ThisI ask in Jesus' mighty name. Amen,
(02:43):
Praise God. So in mark thethird chapter in the twenty first,
twenty fifth I'm sorry, Mark threetwenty five and the KJV it says,
and if a house be divided againstit, so that house cannot stand.
Now this stems from you know,they the scribes had said that Jesus was
(03:07):
belzebeb it says in twenty two andthe scribes which came down from Jerusalem said,
he hath Belzebub, and by theprince of the devils, cast as
he out devils, am'am and Jesus. Like now, you know they're calling
because of the wonderful, miraculous workGod's doing through his son. You know,
(03:28):
the scribes, the Pharrises in Sidausees, they were always against Jesus and
trying to catch him or trap himbecause they were intimidated by him, Praise
God, when they should have beenjoining him and spreading the Gospel and believing
and receiving, because we wanna makeheaven crowded. They just fought against Jesus.
(03:49):
But as we know he prevailed,AmAm and amams. We know that
the multitude was always coming together tohear what Jesus said and to be healed
by him. Jesus went about doinggood. He went about healing the sick,
raising the dead, opening the eyesof the blind, blessing and lame
to walk the dumb to talk todeath, to hair am'am, and preaching
(04:13):
the gospel. He said, lo, I come in the volume mother book,
praise God. And you know itwas all good. We never read
what Jesus went about beating up people, cursing out people, you know,
plotting to herd a person, callingpeople names. I wasn't Jesus when they
called him names and you know,plotted to stone him or push him over
(04:33):
the cliff. Jesus just simply gotaway from him. As God told me
many many years ago, you gowhere you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated.
Amen and amen, because I lovethat. Because when I come,
I bring the blessing. So youyou don't wanna be with me, that's
your loss, am'am. So yes, Jesus went about doing good and he
(05:00):
didn't care about they what Moses wrote, divorce, well, that was because
of the hardness of your hearts.You all just so. Moses wrote that
to I guess to satisfy or toappease you. But that was never so
from the beginning, that was notGod intention. People just want any reason
to divorce, and with that attitudeor that mentality, it brings division in
(05:24):
the home AmAm it brings division.Now, the last week or two we
had been talking. The podcast hadbeen on you know love and you know
love is not a feeling, oryou know he looks so good because you
know, I was saying, nowyou're putting condition on a person, because
(05:45):
we know things in life change daily. And as you get older, you
know you now forty fifty sixty,I mean you still look good, but
perhaps some people do not look likethey look when they were sixteen, eight,
twenty one, twenty three, whatever, twenty five. You know,
you get older and gravity tends topull a madness. Things start sagging,
(06:09):
hairstart falling out, teeth start chipping, eyes get blurry, you know,
receding lines, gray hair and thingslike that. And you don't look like
you used to look. But yousaid I love you, And now this
person does not look like you knowthey used to look. You kind of
feel some type of way, butyou're feeling that way because you married under
(06:31):
condition, or this person had money, you know, or she don't look
good anymore because she's gained weight.Well she has three four five kids,
seven kids. You know, everyonedoes not snap back. You feel like
that you go to the gym withher, or get her a gym membership.
You prepare her dieter's meal, Youhelp your spouse, don't because by
(06:55):
them gaining weight, losing here,or getting sick and needing a lot of
health care and a lot of medicationwhich change them and or their attitudes,
and you're still there to support andstick by them and to help them,
pray with them, pray for them. That's love, not a condition.
If you don't look like that anymore, then you got to go, or
I'm gonna start looking somewhere else,or I'm gonna commit adultery. You know,
(07:19):
I'm still gonna be with you,but I'm gonna go with somebody else.
I'm'a go off with him behind yourback, or I'm gonna go off
with her behind your back. That'snot love. That is not love,
Praise God. That's division. You'renot being able to stand because if and
when it's found out, then there'sgonna be chaos in the home, Praise
(07:40):
God. And that's not what wewant. So they were saying the devil
casting out the devil. That doesn'tmake any sense. You don't wanna split
yourself because there are strength and numbers. So if you are together two,
you know, one could put athousand, and two could put ten thousand.
You can do more with two.But if you are to by it,
particularly against yourself, that's a abig loss. And so they're called
(08:05):
Jesus, like, how are youcalling me Satan? And I'm casting out
Satan? You know? How canSatan cast out Satan? That's the question
Jesus asks in twenty three. Markthree twenty three is saying, and he
called them unto him and said untothem in parables? How can Satan cast
out Satan? And if a kingdombe divided against his self, that kingdom
(08:26):
could not stand. And if ahouse be divi divided against itself, that
house cannot stand. So we're talkingabout harmony and unity. God, the
Father, God the Son, andGod the Holy Spirit are as our one.
Praise God. God said, letno, ma'am put a sounder what
(08:46):
I have joined together, cause thetwo have become one. When you get
married a man, Amen, am'am, you are not an individual in the
sight of God. Your husband andyou, your wife and you, you
all are one according to God's sight. That's how he sees it. I'm
(09:07):
not talking about how the world seeit. I'm talking about how God Almighty
see it. Amen. Amen,all right now, because we tend to
want to look at or or takeadvice from the world. Well you know
that. No, no, no, no, no, no no.
(09:28):
The word of God tells us thatthe Bible has been given to us for
reproof and for sound doctrine and forcorrection. That's where we go. Praise
God. That's where we go to. In fact, I'm telling you that's
what we go. Let me goto. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
Matthew. That's where we go tofor our side of the foundation, to
(09:50):
get our answers. Praise God,Matthew, n Let me see. Hold
on here it is Matthew nineteen andthe kjav four. And he answered and
said, unto them, have younot read that he which made them at
(10:11):
the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this cause shall
a man leave father and mother,and shall cleave to his wife. We
read that again five Matthew nineteen andfive, and said, for this cause
shall a man leave father and motherand shall cleave to his wife, And
(10:33):
they twine shall be one flesh.Wherefore they are no more two or twine.
But one flesh. What therefore Godhath joined together. Let not man
put asunder a man. Amen,Amen, hallelujah. So the two are
(10:54):
one, So there shouldn't be anydivision. This shouldn't be seeks. There
should be transparency from A to Z. Praise God Amen, cause you are
now one. You can't keep asecret from yourself. You already know,
don't now, I don't need totell her or she gonna fuss. Well,
(11:15):
you know what if if you haveto hide it, if you have
to tell a lie about it,if it's gonna bring confusion and chaos,
then don't do it. Then don'tsay it. Amen. Be honest and
faithful to your spouse, particularly husbandswith wives you know they oh wow,
she don't What makes you think shedon't need to know cause you don't wanna
(11:37):
hear them. Don't do it.She should be the first one you come
home and talk to about any problemyou have. Even if you're flirting at
the office. You know, Ikeep talk to your wife about it.
She's your helpmate, your help meet. God put her there to help you.
Yeah, she might have some backlashabout it. I mean, why
not you flirting with another woman whenyou made a covenant with me before God.
(12:03):
She's to help you to honor thatcovenant. Amen a man, Amen,
Amen, Praise God. And Ilike what the word of God say.
Leave father and mother because you knowyou have some spouses that still whatever
Mama say or daddy say, nono, no, no no. That's
why you leave. So you canestablish your own identity as one praise God
(12:24):
and not get your house divided becauseyour wife cook and it ain't like how
your mama cook. It ain't supposedto be. Its supposed to be like
your wives may not be as goodor it may be better. She's your
wife. And that's what I wastalking to someone the other day about that
people don't understand about marriage. That'swhy you don't go to the world.
God honors marriages. He loves that. He's a family oriented father. And
(12:46):
you go to the world where youknow, you got to do what's best
for you and you got to makeyourself feel good. What so what if
she don't like it? Da dada da. You know the guy was
saying, and that he hanged withhis friends, him and his buddies or
the guys hang out. How youtalking about you're gonna get married and you
(13:11):
got to go see what they sayabout it when you get married. It's
what she says about it, whatyou and her agree or disagree about.
Yes, you could still have friendsafter you and your wife talk about it,
cause they may be putting bringing ade what to say, a gulfed
between y'all. And you don't wantno, you know, nothing between you
and your wife. If it meansletting go or your buddies, your bus
(13:35):
and hanging out all that, thenlet them go. Well, I can't
let go of my buddies. Whatit's not helping in your marriage? Praise
God. You two are supposed tobond emotionally, mentally, physically and become
one in getting to know each other. Amen. And you can't do that
(13:58):
if you're always with your buddies oryou know. The one girl said,
well, I gotta be with mygirls. I hang out with my girls
and he hang out with his guys. You know, they do things separately
and on holidays they go to theirfamilies. They I what you got all
need to come together and pray aboutthat, cause that's bring division. And
(14:18):
one girl, the guy was sayingthat his wife had went to her family
house for Thanksgiving and he didn't go, and he stayed home, and I
think he went to his families later. I guess they was doing years later,
and he said their dinner later andhe said that her I don't know
(14:39):
if his, her ex husband orher ex boyfriend was there and he had
been touching her, you know,rubbing on her and things like that,
and she came home and was talkingabout it, you know, and you
know, he was a little upset. Said the next time they had something,
he gonna go. And the nexttime they had said she didn't want
(15:01):
him to go, she went andthe ex husband or whoever or boyfriend.
I can't remember if he said thatwas her ex husband or her ex boyfriend,
because now you know, she's marriedto the guy that was talking to
me. And I'm like, thiscan cause secrecy in a marriage and flirting
and emotional affair and or a fullout physical affair. AmAm, it's brings
(15:28):
division. Now you don't have togo with me. I don't have to
go with you, but I'm outdoing and maybe not, maybe you not,
but I'm saying to forsake division,communicate talk. The Bible said pray
watch as well as pray watch outfor things, pray about everything. Aymen,
don't just you know, separate becauseyou bringing your God wants you to
(15:54):
as one. You can't be oneif you're over here and you over here.
Maybe this Thanksgiving we go to myparents home, and for Christmas we
go to your parents, you know. Or this year everything is for my
family. We go and then nextyear is for your family. Or we
just stand home with our children,am'am, Praise God. We have to
come to an agreement. There hasto be harmony in a marriage. Praise
(16:19):
God. A ma'am, success comefrom us, I said earlier. Stand
together, stand as one, PraiseGod. The first thing we need to
do to prevent division is figure outwhat we want to do, and AmAm,
what we want? Do we wantthis? And we know that we
(16:41):
do. Why because there is amiracle covenant. God has already said the
two shall become one and let noman put asunder. So there shouldn't be
any man mom, dad, sister, brother, our niece, uncle,
girlfriend, boyfriend coming in between thisunion that God has put together. Because
let me explain something and I havea few more minutes before it's time to
(17:03):
go, am'am. God is acovenant making and I say this often a
covenant keeping, covenant enabling, covenantabiding God he comes to you with the
covenant, AmAm, presenting it toyou, and it's up to you to
(17:23):
say yes, I'm gonna enter intothis covenant or not, and God will
help you keep your part of thecovenant. Because a covenant is eternal,
it's ever binding. It doesn't it'snot a contract where it starts on the
tenth of the twenty twenty three orwhatever a month and then in two years,
three years, five ten, youknow, like a mortgage. It's
(17:45):
not that it doesn't have an enddate. Hallelujah, Amen, Amen.
Amen. So, so when youtalk about a marital covenant, hallelujah God
the Father got the Son, andGod the Holy Spirit, and you and
your are there, and you makethis covenant agreement to death do us a
(18:06):
part. I promise to love,honor, cherish whatever you know, and
to death do us apart. That'sa covenant that you and your spouse has
entered into with the Trinity with God. Amen. That's your marital vow.
And so five ten, fifteen,twenty thirty years later, you decide you
(18:26):
sick of her, she's sick ofhim. And you met somebody at work
that's much nicer to you. That'sthe devil coment as an angel like the
devil doesn't have anything but time tosit around and watch you and look for
openings to enter into your mind,to corrupt it with negative think and evil,
bad thoughts, to turn you againstyour spouse, to bring division,
(18:47):
to divide that house. Amen,Well you know just the one you hear
over and over in time and timeagain. I just can't talk to her.
But when you was dating her andyou talk to her all day and
all night, and particularly nowadays whenwe have the text message and the cell
phones and things like that. Youtext, you call, you FaceTime,
(19:08):
snapchap, Instagram, Instagram whatever,What were you talking about? Then ask
God to rekindle the flame. Andthat's what I want you all to understand.
We serve an almighty, all powerfulGod. Ourt have any father is
awesome, He's great and he's mighty. He can do anything you believe him
to do. That in line upwith the word of God. You believe
(19:30):
my marriage is falling, but Iknow God can reconcile it, he can
rescue it. Then tell him aboutit and watch him he reconcile us,
send for people back to him throughhis son. He can reconcile your marriage
together. He can intervene and stopthat divorce. He can rekindle that flame
and make it hotter than it wasbefore. Yes, he can, if
(19:51):
you believe he can, if yougive it over to him and stop wanting
to your way. Well, youknow what, I just give up.
And he's so nice and so fatand good condition. He nice. Amen.
You don't know what might happen tomake him change. There you go,
so work with what you have.Jesus used what he had. He
had five loaves and two fish,and he fed a march to two five
(20:14):
thousand men plus women and children.He used what he had. He gave
thanks for it and passed it out, gave it to the disciples, holy
people, to give to the people. So you take your covenant marriage,
and you hold that marital covenant upto God. Ladies. Amen, and
remind he said, remind me andremind him of this covenant. Amen,
(20:36):
so that he can take that raggedmarriage, that marriage is trying to end,
that non communicating marriage. Amen,And rekinder the flame and reconcile you
all back together. He can takethat husband that's not showing love. That's
love list and bless him to abideby the words and Ephesians five to twenty
five. Husbands, love your wives. Amen, he is say anything,
old wife, Go love your husband. He said, respect, submit to
(21:00):
your husband, not to another man. That mean come to your husband for
issues and to solve problems. Don'tgo to another man, but husbands,
he said, love your wives asChrist love the church. Christ gave up
his life for the church. Soyou go to the Father and asks him
how to love the wife that he'sgiven you, how to love the helpmate
that he's given you, and hownot to love another woman? Amen?
(21:26):
And they wives, how not tolove or to be fantasized about another man.
Y'all stop all that. Well,he looks so good. He eye
candy. Your spouse is your eyecandy. Stopping And if you're with people
that's talking like that, get awayfrom him. Amen. All you gotta
do is call on God. He'sthe answer. He has the answer and
the way out. Amen and Amen. That's my time. And I thank
(21:51):
God for each and every one ofyou. Thank you all for joining me.
You know, I pray that youunderstand that your house is not to
be divided because you two are one. Don't rip to g rip apart.
You can do more together in prayingtogether with and for each other and other
people than you can apart with somebodyelse. No, if you're c in
an adulterous relationship, I rebuke youin Jesus' name, Hallelujah, and I
(22:15):
aks you to get out of it. Seek God on your face, on
your knees, and cry out fordeliverance from that relationship. He will because
it is sin, it's not righteous, it's not God, and it's not
living pleasing before Him, and it'snot what He wants for you. He
wants you to be with your spouse. A ma'am Honahim. God bless you
all, and once again thank youfor joining me. S Cindi Garris,

You can do more with two.But if you are to by it,
particularly against yourself, that's a abig loss. And so they're called
(08:05):
Jesus, like, how are youcalling me Satan? And I'm casting out
Satan? You know? How canSatan cast out Satan? That's the question
Jesus asks in twenty three. Markthree twenty three is saying, and he
called them unto him and said untothem in parables? How can Satan cast
out Satan? And if a kingdombe divided against his self, that kingdom
(08:26):
could not stand. And if ahouse be divi divided against itself, that
house cannot stand. So we're talkingabout harmony and unity. God, the
Father, God the Son, andGod the Holy Spirit are as our one.
Praise God. God said, letno, ma'am put a sounder what
(08:46):
I have joined together, cause thetwo have become one. When you get
married a man, Amen, am'am, you are not an individual in the
sight of God. Your husband andyou, your wife and you, you
all are one according to God's sight. That's how he sees it. I'm
(09:07):
not talking about how the world seeit. I'm talking about how God Almighty
see it. Amen. Amen,all right now, because we tend to
want to look at or or takeadvice from the world. Well you know
that. No, no, no, no, no, no no.
(09:28):
The word of God tells us thatthe Bible has been given to us for
reproof and for sound doctrine and forcorrection. That's where we go. Praise
God. That's where we go to. In fact, I'm telling you that's
what we go. Let me goto. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
Matthew. That's where we go tofor our side of the foundation, to
(09:50):
get our answers. Praise God,Matthew, n Let me see. Hold
on here it is Matthew nineteen andthe kjav four. And he answered and
said, unto them, have younot read that he which made them at
(10:11):
the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this cause shall
a man leave father and mother,and shall cleave to his wife. We
read that again five Matthew nineteen andfive, and said, for this cause
shall a man leave father and motherand shall cleave to his wife, And
(10:33):
they twine shall be one flesh.Wherefore they are no more two or twine.
But one flesh. What therefore Godhath joined together. Let not man
put asunder a man. Amen,Amen, hallelujah. So the two are
(10:54):
one, So there shouldn't be anydivision. This shouldn't be seeks. There
should be transparency from A to Z. Praise God Amen, cause you are
now one. You can't keep asecret from yourself. You already know,
don't now, I don't need totell her or she gonna fuss. Well,
(11:15):
you know what if if you haveto hide it, if you have
to tell a lie about it,if it's gonna bring confusion and chaos,
then don't do it. Then don'tsay it. Amen. Be honest and
faithful to your spouse, particularly husbandswith wives you know they oh wow,
she don't What makes you think shedon't need to know cause you don't wanna
(11:37):
hear them. Don't do it.She should be the first one you come
home and talk to about any problemyou have. Even if you're flirting at
the office. You know, Ikeep talk to your wife about it.
She's your helpmate, your help meet. God put her there to help you.
Yeah, she might have some backlashabout it. I mean, why
not you flirting with another woman whenyou made a covenant with me before God.
(12:03):
She's to help you to honor thatcovenant. Amen a man, Amen,
Amen, Praise God. And Ilike what the word of God say.
Leave father and mother because you knowyou have some spouses that still whatever
Mama say or daddy say, nono, no, no no. That's
why you leave. So you canestablish your own identity as one praise God
(12:24):
and not get your house divided becauseyour wife cook and it ain't like how
your mama cook. It ain't supposedto be. Its supposed to be like
your wives may not be as goodor it may be better. She's your
wife. And that's what I wastalking to someone the other day about that
people don't understand about marriage. That'swhy you don't go to the world.
God honors marriages. He loves that. He's a family oriented father. And
(12:46):
you go to the world where youknow, you got to do what's best
for you and you got to makeyourself feel good. What so what if
she don't like it? Da dada da. You know the guy was
saying, and that he hanged withhis friends, him and his buddies or
the guys hang out. How youtalking about you're gonna get married and you
(13:11):
got to go see what they sayabout it when you get married. It's
what she says about it, whatyou and her agree or disagree about.
Yes, you could still have friendsafter you and your wife talk about it,
cause they may be putting bringing ade what to say, a gulfed
between y'all. And you don't wantno, you know, nothing between you
and your wife. If it meansletting go or your buddies, your bus
(13:35):
and hanging out all that, thenlet them go. Well, I can't
let go of my buddies. Whatit's not helping in your marriage? Praise
God. You two are supposed tobond emotionally, mentally, physically and become
one in getting to know each other. Amen. And you can't do that
(13:58):
if you're always with your buddies oryou know. The one girl said,
well, I gotta be with mygirls. I hang out with my girls
and he hang out with his guys. You know, they do things separately
and on holidays they go to theirfamilies. They I what you got all
need to come together and pray aboutthat, cause that's bring division. And
(14:18):
one girl, the guy was sayingthat his wife had went to her family
house for Thanksgiving and he didn't go, and he stayed home, and I
think he went to his families later. I guess they was doing years later,
and he said their dinner later andhe said that her I don't know
(14:39):
if his, her ex husband orher ex boyfriend was there and he had
been touching her, you know,rubbing on her and things like that,
and she came home and was talkingabout it, you know, and you
know, he was a little upset. Said the next time they had something,
he gonna go. And the nexttime they had said she didn't want
(15:01):
him to go, she went andthe ex husband or whoever or boyfriend.
I can't remember if he said thatwas her ex husband or her ex boyfriend,
because now you know, she's marriedto the guy that was talking to
me. And I'm like, thiscan cause secrecy in a marriage and flirting
and emotional affair and or a fullout physical affair. AmAm, it's brings
(15:28):
division. Now you don't have togo with me. I don't have to
go with you, but I'm outdoing and maybe not, maybe you not,
but I'm saying to forsake division,communicate talk. The Bible said pray
watch as well as pray watch outfor things, pray about everything. Aymen,
don't just you know, separate becauseyou bringing your God wants you to
(15:54):
as one. You can't be oneif you're over here and you over here.
Maybe this Thanksgiving we go to myparents home, and for Christmas we
go to your parents, you know. Or this year everything is for my
family. We go and then nextyear is for your family. Or we
just stand home with our children,am'am, Praise God. We have to
come to an agreement. There hasto be harmony in a marriage. Praise
(16:19):
God. A ma'am, success comefrom us, I said earlier. Stand
together, stand as one, PraiseGod. The first thing we need to
do to prevent division is figure outwhat we want to do, and AmAm,
what we want? Do we wantthis? And we know that we
(16:41):
do. Why because there is amiracle covenant. God has already said the
two shall become one and let noman put asunder. So there shouldn't be
any man mom, dad, sister, brother, our niece, uncle,
girlfriend, boyfriend coming in between thisunion that God has put together. Because
let me explain something and I havea few more minutes before it's time to
(17:03):
go, am'am. God is acovenant making and I say this often a
covenant keeping, covenant enabling, covenantabiding God he comes to you with the
covenant, AmAm, presenting it toyou, and it's up to you to
(17:23):
say yes, I'm gonna enter intothis covenant or not, and God will
help you keep your part of thecovenant. Because a covenant is eternal,
it's ever binding. It doesn't it'snot a contract where it starts on the
tenth of the twenty twenty three orwhatever a month and then in two years,
three years, five ten, youknow, like a mortgage. It's
(17:45):
not that it doesn't have an enddate. Hallelujah, Amen, Amen.
Amen. So, so when youtalk about a marital covenant, hallelujah God
the Father got the Son, andGod the Holy Spirit, and you and
your are there, and you makethis covenant agreement to death do us a
(18:06):
part. I promise to love,honor, cherish whatever you know, and
to death do us apart. That'sa covenant that you and your spouse has
entered into with the Trinity with God. Amen. That's your marital vow.
And so five ten, fifteen,twenty thirty years later, you decide you
(18:26):
sick of her, she's sick ofhim. And you met somebody at work
that's much nicer to you. That'sthe devil coment as an angel like the
devil doesn't have anything but time tosit around and watch you and look for
openings to enter into your mind,to corrupt it with negative think and evil,
bad thoughts, to turn you againstyour spouse, to bring division,
(18:47):
to divide that house. Amen,Well you know just the one you hear
over and over in time and timeagain. I just can't talk to her.
But when you was dating her andyou talk to her all day and
all night, and particularly nowadays whenwe have the text message and the cell
phones and things like that. Youtext, you call, you FaceTime,
(19:08):
snapchap, Instagram, Instagram whatever,What were you talking about? Then ask
God to rekindle the flame. Andthat's what I want you all to understand.
We serve an almighty, all powerfulGod. Ourt have any father is
awesome, He's great and he's mighty. He can do anything you believe him
to do. That in line upwith the word of God. You believe
(19:30):
my marriage is falling, but Iknow God can reconcile it, he can
rescue it. Then tell him aboutit and watch him he reconcile us,
send for people back to him throughhis son. He can reconcile your marriage
together. He can intervene and stopthat divorce. He can rekindle that flame
and make it hotter than it wasbefore. Yes, he can, if
(19:51):
you believe he can, if yougive it over to him and stop wanting
to your way. Well, youknow what, I just give up.
And he's so nice and so fatand good condition. He nice. Amen.
You don't know what might happen tomake him change. There you go,
so work with what you have.Jesus used what he had. He
had five loaves and two fish,and he fed a march to two five
(20:14):
thousand men plus women and children.He used what he had. He gave
thanks for it and passed it out, gave it to the disciples, holy
people, to give to the people. So you take your covenant marriage,
and you hold that marital covenant upto God. Ladies. Amen, and
remind he said, remind me andremind him of this covenant. Amen,
(20:36):
so that he can take that raggedmarriage, that marriage is trying to end,
that non communicating marriage. Amen,And rekinder the flame and reconcile you
all back together. He can takethat husband that's not showing love. That's
love list and bless him to abideby the words and Ephesians five to twenty
five. Husbands, love your wives. Amen, he is say anything,
old wife, Go love your husband. He said, respect, submit to
(21:00):
your husband, not to another man. That mean come to your husband for
issues and to solve problems. Don'tgo to another man, but husbands,
he said, love your wives asChrist love the church. Christ gave up
his life for the church. Soyou go to the Father and asks him
how to love the wife that he'sgiven you, how to love the helpmate
that he's given you, and hownot to love another woman? Amen?
(21:26):
And they wives, how not tolove or to be fantasized about another man.
Y'all stop all that. Well,he looks so good. He eye
candy. Your spouse is your eyecandy. Stopping And if you're with people
that's talking like that, get awayfrom him. Amen. All you gotta
do is call on God. He'sthe answer. He has the answer and
the way out. Amen and Amen. That's my time. And I thank
(21:51):
God for each and every one ofyou. Thank you all for joining me.
You know, I pray that youunderstand that your house is not to
be divided because you two are one. Don't rip to g rip apart.
You can do more together in prayingtogether with and for each other and other
people than you can apart with somebodyelse. No, if you're c in
an adulterous relationship, I rebuke youin Jesus' name, Hallelujah, and I
(22:15):
aks you to get out of it. Seek God on your face, on
your knees, and cry out fordeliverance from that relationship. He will because
it is sin, it's not righteous, it's not God, and it's not
living pleasing before Him, and it'snot what He wants for you. He
wants you to be with your spouse. A ma'am Honahim. God bless you
all, and once again thank youfor joining me. S Cindi Garris,
