My dream of a happily ever after has come to pass. Amen, Amen, and Amen. Okay, so ladies, do you all know what time it is? Say it with me. It's scripture, notes, and quotes taking time. Yes, indeed it is. Yes, indeed it is. So, you all ready? You all ready for this today? Okay, here we go. Alright, so today I'm continuing my theme, Why You Need a Transformational Influencer to Succeed in Your Marriage and Also Your Relationship. So, with my theme, scripture, Titus 2, 3, and 5, where it speaks about the aged women teaching the young women all the eight how-tos. And those eight how-tos are how to be sober, how to love their husbands, how to love their children, how to be discreet, how to be chaste, how to be keepers at home, how to be good, and the eighth one, how to be obedient to their own husband, which are all found in verses 4 through 5 of Timothy chapter 2. Okay? So, this week, well, last week, let's put it first. Let's talk about last week. Last week I started a new series called, The Five Sides of Knowledge About God for your marriage. Okay? So, those five sides are knowledge of who God is, knowledge of the love of God, knowledge of the principles of God, knowledge of the works of God, and the fifth one, knowledge of the blessings and promises of God. Now, last week I went over the first one, the knowledge of God and who God is. And I shared with you that in order to know God, you must first know these three vital key components. And those three vital key components that I gave was, knowledge of who God truly is and his existence, which I shared in part one, and the other two is knowledge of who God is and should be in your life, and also knowledge of who God is and needs to be in your marriage. Now, I did make this two separate parts, the knowledge of who God is, and the first one, like I said, was knowledge of who God truly is and his existence, and we went over that last week. So, this week, this is the part two of the knowledge of who God is, and knowledge of who God is and should be in your life, and also knowledge of who God is and needs to be in your marriage. We're going to go over those two today. So, like I said, I went over the first one, and that took the whole time, so we had to split it in two. So, I listed last week the knowledge of who God truly is and his existence. I listed seven key elements, and I went over them in great detail, and those seven elements were knowledge about God, knowledge of his existence, knowledge of God who tempts no man, knowledge of how God created man, knowledge of his word, knowledge of his way and his plans, and knowledge of love for him and for others. If you missed all of that, like I said, I do have a podcast, and I do encourage you to go and listen to all of my teachings, and it will help you to understand my step from actually when I started this approximately two years ago. So, and it will help you no matter what others say, and try to convince you of who God is, you would know exactly who God is. So, this week I am continuing with the part two, the knowledge of who God is, and I give you the second and the third vital key components of knowledge of who God is, and that's going to be today with the hopes of concluding that today. Ladies, let's go. Okay. All right. So, the second vital key component of the knowledge of who God is, and I do hope that you all ladies are taking notes on these. I know that some people have good memory, because some people take membranics, and they can memorize a lot of stuff. One like me, I have to write down. One like me, I write down and I love to go back. I'm more like the Bereans. I like to go back and I like to search what was taught to me, to see and prove that what was taught is biblical and it's truth. With me, when I'm teaching, I love to give or back up what I say with scriptures. I give a lot of scriptures. I give a lot of quotes to some things. I use them as quotes, because they are something that I feel like will be able to be used as quotes, but I do that so that it would help you in your research and your studies, and also when you're sharing, when you share with others, you want to share with others what you are taught. Now that we have learned all about the knowledge of who God is, or who God truly is, and His existence, it is time to learn and have knowledge of who God should be in your life. We're going to start with that one. According to the Bible, the knowledge of God for man starts with the knowledge of who God should be in man's life. Let's use this as a quote. Knowledge of God is the foundation of all true education and of all true service. It is the only real safeguard against temptation. It is this alone that can make us like God in character. Later in this teaching, I will be sharing more on how the knowledge of God can make us like God in character. But first of all, let me just say that true life begins with knowing God. Ladies, it does not begin when we are conceived in our mother's womb, nor when we were born. Before you go and jump to any conclusions of what I'm saying, please hear me out now. Life begins when a man and a woman, human beings, comes to know or comes to the knowledge of who God truly is, and when a man and a woman come to accept and know Yeshua, Jesus Christ as Lord of their life. Now, life begins when human beings acknowledge God is a spirit, worship Him in spirit and in truth, and they have absolutely no excuse for not knowing God. Do I make myself clear there? Okay, let's read that in Romans chapter 1 and verse 20. It says, For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse for not knowing God. There shouldn't be any excuse for not knowing God, when the word of God is filled with who He truly is and should be in our life, ladies. The Bible tells us how to worship, how to serve Him, how to praise Him and give Him thanks, and how to avoid temptation, how to love and also how to forgive. God has instilled this knowledge of Himself in every man, so that men are without any excuse, as stated in Romans chapter 1 and verse 20. So ladies, there shouldn't be any kind of excuses for not knowing God. This knowledge means God is real to us, and we are conscious of His presence and His glory. It should be the desire of every believer, to grow in knowledge and understanding of God. This pursuit of knowing God, will require some steps. And these steps, let's put it this way, these steps, let's go over these steps. First of all, we meet Him daily, by going in prayer daily, daily. Second, we constantly fellowship with Him, worshiping Him in spirit and in truth. Third, we pray to Him without ceasing, not just in the morning, not just at night when we go to bed, rise in the morning when we go to sleep. No, all through the day when we pray and we need to talk to God, it is without ceasing. Fourth, we praise, worship, honor, pray, we praise Him and give Him all the thanks. We are thankful, we are grateful, we appreciate Him, we let Him know that, and we let Him know that daily and constantly. And then fifth, we encounter and we experience His love personally. We know that God loves us. We can feel it. We see it in the things that we come across, the people that we come in contact with. We can see the love of God. We can show others the love of God. They can see God in us. If every believer desires to grow in knowledge and understanding of God, a pursuit of knowing God, you will take those five steps that I said to you each and every day for the rest of your life. And if you do that for the rest of your life, then you would come in knowing and have a close relationship with God. Our knowledge of God, ladies, aids our understanding of our own being, our purpose and our salvation. From God flows all, I mean all life and goodness as a light shining in a dark room. So once the room is dark and you are in it, honey, let me tell you something, you are like a light shining in there. In having knowledge of who God should be in our life, that means that we become light that shines, not just in the darkness, not just in a dark room, but we shine brightly in this entire, entire world. The scripture Matthew chapter 5 verse 14 through 16, and I'm reading the King James Version here, and it says, Yet ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. And verse 5 says, Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it give it light unto all that are in the house. Verse 16 says, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Because we are shining so bright ladies, no one needs to ask us any question if we know God. They can see it in us, nor will anyone ever persuade us to serve any other foreign God. That ain't happening. It can't happen. Psalms chapter 119 verse 104 through 105, and again I read the King James Version. It says, Through the precepts I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way. Verse 105 says, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Wherever I go there is light. The light is shining so that when I go, I do not walk in the dark. I am seeing, and this is the precepts that we get from wisdom, knowledge and understanding. So that we despise, hate and we reject any false, any false ways that are not of God. It is the knowledge of God that should lead to Christ like living. You should be living a Christ like life, and your light should always, always shine ladies. Meaning you should have knowledge of who God should be in your life. Hating everything that is false and living life the way Christ lived, while he was on this earth. So one of the reasons God sent his son to us, was so that we could know more about the nature of God. Have knowledge of who God is, and who God should be in our life. John chapter 8 verse 19, reading again the King James version, it says, Then said they unto him, Where is thy father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my father. If ye had known me, ye should have known my father also. And in John 14 and 17, he said, If ye have known me, ye should have known my father also. And from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. And ladies, it is through our observation of creation, the scriptures, and especially the life of the son of God, which is Yeshua Jesus Christ, that we fully know the Father God. We know him, through believing Yeshua Jesus Christ, that which we are saved, through him. Okay? Like John 3 and 16, everybody knows that. That is the one most familiar, verse 16 and 17, which says, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, and that whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. As a result of knowledge of God, involves not simply propositions about God, but encountering and embracing Yeshua Jesus Christ, as Lord. So that he becomes the center of our desires, affections, and our love. By fully knowing him, we can know the Father. We know the Father. It's also through having faith in God. Knowing that we can trust him. Knowing that we can serve him. And knowing that we have him in all of our hearts. We are serving him. And we are trusting him with all of our hearts. Proverbs 3 and 5 through 6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean to your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make straight your path. Second Corinthians 5 and 7 says, For we walk by faith, not by sight. And Ephesians 2 and 8 says, For by grace ye have been saved through faith. It's through faith. In this case, God's will refers to the complete rule of faith and practice. That we practice faith. Faith gives us a sharper version of what can happen, if we follow God's instructions. So we become more obedient and productive disciples. Listen, ladies. Knowledge of God from the Bible makes us realize how holy he is. And how holy we must become in order to be good witnesses to his glory. And of his glory. While we are here on this earth. So once we have the knowledge of God, we know exactly what to do. We know exactly how to act. And there will be no need for us to go astray, away from the knowledge of the truth of who God truly is. The truth in which we established in part 1, that I had given you with knowledge about God, and who God is, and why he exists, and why we should believe in God, and believe in him, and the reason of our existence. We read all of that. I shared all of that to you. And here is a quote. God's knowledge and truth go together. They both go together. Once you have God's knowledge and truth, then you know that they are together. The knowledge of God usually refers to knowing the truth about who God is. And let's read that in Romans chapter 1. I don't want you all thinking that I'm just giving and throwing you all these things. No, I like to back it up with scripture, because knowing these things helps your mind to be clear enough, with understanding, and you get the knowledge, and you get the understanding of what I am saying. Romans chapter 1, and you're reading it, you're understanding, and you're reading it, because you're studying it, and you're seeing it in the Bible. Not my words, God's words. Okay? Like I was saying, Romans chapter 1, verse 19 through 21. And it reads, 19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God hath shown it unto them. Verse 20. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Verse 21. Because that when they knew God, they glorify Him not as God, neither were they thankful, but became then in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Did you all get that? The word of God. Not my word, ladies. The word of God. It is there for us to have knowledge of who God is, because verse 19 clearly states, that because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God hath shown it unto them. He showed it to us from back then, from way back then. And then in verse 20 says, For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Without excuse. I said that, I mentioned that earlier. Without excuse. There is absolutely no excuse for us not knowing who God is. And who He is in our lives, and what we are created to do. There should be no excuse. We are His glory. We were created to worship Him. It is innate in us to worship God. But that worship must be done in spirit and in truth, because He is a spirit. It is innate in us, and I got this, and my husband and I were talking about this, and he was saying that it is innate in us that we glorify and show thankfulness why it is not being done, because of our vain imaginations and our foolish hearts were darkened. He said to me, he said, this is the reason why we are to glorify God, glorify Him, and this is why a lot of people who don't glorify Him, because they don't understand, because of their foolish hearts which were darkened, and neither do they give Him thanks for being God, because they don't understand. And he went on to say because of money, because of fame and power, we arise so high, we feel like we can live our lives apart from God. And I don't know if you all remember me telling you about the story about Solomon, how Solomon discovered that this, he discovered that money, fame, and power, and getting all the way up there, it is hard to live a life apart from God. And I share with you all that story. And he got from God what he asked for, and then he strayed, but then he found himself having a hard time living his life apart from God, so he returned to God, and he returned to God, because he realized that it was a hard life that he was living apart from God. And you know, my husband and I, we always have discussions, we always talk about biblical stuff, and he shares with me, I like to share some of the things that he shares with me, and he was sharing with me, he said no matter how wise or how rich or how successful one may be, one cannot find meaning in life apart from God. It is all being, it is all being ladies, and Ecclesiastes talks about that. And in fact, it talks about all is vanity, and I will talk about that one later on, but I was reading something from this gentleman called William Lane Gregg, and he argues the fact that if there is no God, then life itself lacks meaning, value and purpose, and the primary motive of the conclusion is the idea that without God there is no immortality, and without immortality then each and every one of us is doomed to die. And that I quoted from William Lane Gregg. I said Gregg, it was Gregg. William Lane Gregg. And I definitely am going to really share more about that, because that is important, but as knowing about vanity and, you know, that teaching is going to be probably a bit lengthy, so I am going to have to do that separately. But all of these teachings that I tell you that I am going through, this is not a destination. We are on a journey. So a lot of things that I may mention in one of my topics that I am teaching, I will definitely be going over it in length. So these are stuff that I may just mention a little piece of, but I am definitely going to go in length when you see in depth when I do that teaching. So the Bible tells that creation reveals the knowledge of God on who God is, and God is infinite. And Psalms chapter 19 verse 1 through 2 says, The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth His handiwork. And verse 2 says, Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. So when it talks about that, human knowledge, it is talking about difference between human knowledge and worldly knowledge. So human knowledge can cause grief and pride, and that is what we notice with us. So we come into sorrow when Ecclesiastes chapter 1 verse 18 says, For in much wisdom is much grief, and that increased knowledge increases sorrow. So when you increase knowledge, it is saying that you increase sorrow. But that is actually speaking about knowledge of evil and worldly knowledge. Not talking about godly knowledge, it is talking about worldly knowledge, and it is talking about how worldly knowledge often oppresses what the Bible says, when Timothy warns us, and warns us of not being in our life, and how our life should be, and avoid all of that, and to continue to be upstanding and upright with God, and God's principles, and know Him, and keep Him in our life, and always be with God, and always have the wisdom of God, because the wisdom, as I said, wisdom is the principal thing, wisdom is the thing that we ought to know, and I am coming up now again with the second, sorry, the third key component of knowledge, of who God is, but I am going to do it right after this song, Your Spirit by Tasha Cobbs, Leonard and Kiara Sher, and we are going to have that played right now, so you all enjoy this song, and when I come back, I will come back with the second key component of the wisdom of God, and that's going to be the wisdom of God, or sorry, the knowledge of who God is, and needs to be in your marriage. Enjoy. I'll be back right after that. Don't you all go anywhere. Don't you touch that dial. I will continue. Enjoy. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, By your spirit, God, in your spirit, God You are the fire, we are the temple You are the voice, we are your soul You are our God, we are your people You are the light, we stand in awe We stand in awe of you We stand in awe of you Not by might, not by power By your spirit, God, in your spirit, God You call us out, out of the darkness Into your love, into your light Grace upon grace, beauty for action You come to us, we come alive We stand in awe of you We stand in awe of you Not by might, not by power By your spirit, God, in your spirit, God Grace upon grace, beauty for action You come to us, we come alive Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin We stand in awe of you We stand in awe of you We stand in awe of you Not by might, not by power By your spirit, God, in your spirit, God Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Come and free, Lord, us of sin Not by might, not by power By your spirit, God, in your spirit, God Amen, amen, amen! Thank you all for continuing with me. I trust you all enjoyed that song. Okay, so we are going to continue with the third virtual key component, which is the knowledge of who God is and needs to be in your marriage. Okay, so God's purpose for marriage is to be a picture of His love to a watching world. The world is watching us. The world watches us, ladies. Marriage is the firm foundation for building a family. God designed sexual expression to help married couples build intimacy. Marriage mirrors God's covenant relationship with His people. So when Christians understand God's view of marriage and His purpose, they have stronger marriage, stronger families, and stronger communities. They grow as a couple, they understand each other, and they glorify God together. God designed marriage for three primary purposes, ladies. They are companionship, procreation, and redemption. These purposes are still relevant today and are essential for a healthy society. So let's take a closer look at each one of these three primary purposes. Okay, ladies? Okay, so marriage primary purposes, and the first one is companionship. So companionship is the first purpose of marriage. In Genesis 2 and 18, God said it wasn't good for a man to be a loon. So God graciously met this need for this man, who was called Adam. And y'all know the story on how Adam was put to sleep, or how God put Adam to sleep, and He took out a rib, and then He formed Eve, and then, you know, the rest is history. Okay, so God designed marriage so that a man and a woman can have a close relationship, so that they won't be a loon. This close relationship is based on love, and trust, and communication, and it provides a picture of our relationship with God. So companionship in marriage is an essential emotional need of most couples, especially for the husbands. We're going to talk about that when we talk about all of that when I bring to you marriage. And like I said, all of the topics that I said I'm going to, we are going to definitely talk about each one of these in length. So marriage's primary purpose, number two, is procreation. And marriage was created so that couples, a man and a woman, would keep humanity alive. So ladies, you can use this as a quote. Procreation is literally how the human race remains on this earth. So procreation is important because God designed marriage so that couples could have children. Not all couples will have children, bear that in mind. But for those who do need to know that children are a blessing from God, and it's important that we raise them, or that children are raised in a God-fearing home. Not all will be, I know that, but it's important that they are raised in a God-fearing home. It's important, like I said, not everyone or not all of them will be. And marriage's primary purpose, number three, is redemption. And that is, it is important because when husbands and wives come together in holy matrimony, they commit to God's plan for their lives. God designed marriage so that man and woman could come together and be saved from their sins. When husband and wife come together in holy matrimony, they commit to God's plan for their lives. God is there and he holds every one of us, he holds our hands, he holds everyone up. The same way as God holds the universe, he keeps our marriage in good condition. It is us who fail, it is us who destroy, it is us who separate, and it is us who decide that we no longer want it to be. We have a choice. We choose to do what we choose to do. It's not God's choice for us to separate, it's not God's choice for us to divorce, and it's not God's choice for us to put asunder. Although there are many things that happen, we just cannot go around changing God's original plan. We cannot go around changing what God has put together. God can provide support and he can help, but he cannot change what our choice is. We make the choices, and if we do his will, he will provide the means to nourish and keep our marriage intact. It is up to us, it is up to us, especially ladies. My husband always says, women are the ones who want to see the marriage work. He always says that to me. He says that even if a man wants to leave, a woman wants him to stay. Even if a man cheats, a woman still will stick with him, if the woman desires and really wants. It's normally up to the woman to really keep the marriage going. So that's why I say that we women, we are put in there to be the one flesh with our husband. To be there for him, to help him out when he needs. We need because God made us to be that victorious and virtuous woman. That's why we are wisdom supreme. We are women who God put on this earth to help men. Proverbs chapter 31 tells us about how women are to be. When a man finds a virtuous woman, how good it is. When a man finds a wife, he finds a good thing. In the Bible, the Apostle Paul was teaching the people about marriage and the duties of husbands and wives. And when he said, for this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall be joined unto his wife. And he said unto his wife, and they too shall be one flesh. He talks about that. God said that from the beginning of time in Genesis. When he talks about how the man and the woman is supposed to be one flesh. The first marriage which was ordained by God took place in the Garden of Eden. When God created a man out of Adam's rib. And you all heard me tell you briefly the story. And he said that when he brought them two together, he said that they would become one flesh. Therefore the plan of God for man is one man, one wife and they become one flesh. So ladies, one of the many benefits to marriage is living life together as one flesh. In just about every wedding that I have heard, that I have been to, that I have attended, Genesis chapter 2 and verse 24 has been a part of the ceremony and have been recited over and repeatedly. For this reason a man should leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and they too shall become one flesh. And for most of my life I would blush when I hear that scripture read and my assumption was that one flesh meant one thing and one thing only and that was all about sex. And even though Hebrews chapter 13 and verse 4 says marriage is honorable and all under bed is under file. While being one flesh ladies does not just mean sex in marriage. And while the Bible is straightforward in the importance of sex being in marriage, I have come to learn and I have come to realize that in my marriage, in my marriage now, that becoming one flesh means so much more than just having sex. So much more than just being in bed and the bed being under file. And I come to find out how husband and wife become one flesh. And you all want to know how husband and wife become one flesh? Ladies if you've been married or if you are married and you might have already noticed that the longer you've been married the more you know and you understand each other. You finish each other's sentences because you already know what your husband is going to say. Becoming one flesh has everything to do with sharing your life together as husband and wife. You don't only just share the home and a bed. No, you share your joy and sorrow. You share your happiness and fears. You share your successes and your failures. You share your money and your possessions. You share your bodies and your soul. You share everything. Everything with each other and in the process God weaves you together as one. And then you two will truly unite. You two have become united together as one because you do so much together all the time. And I'm not talking about just anniversary and birthdays and other special occasions. I'm talking about how two become one. In Ephesians chapter 5 verse 28 and 29 it says so husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh but nourishes and cherishes it just as the Lord does the church. Yes, yes, yes, indeed, indeed lady. Yeshua, Jesus Christ loves the church. He loves the church. As husband and wife you are to love your spouse as you love yourself. Because you're married to him and marriage as an institution is such that legally binds a husband and a wife together and that makes them one flesh. The knowledge of who God is and needs to be in your marriage is to know that you all are one flesh. You and your husband is one flesh. You're one flesh. I can't say that enough. And like the way God has put you together you no longer twine but you're now one flesh. And to know that marriage is a long life covenant between a man and a woman to live as one flesh for their mutual benefit and for the bearing of children and for those who do not have children but to live a long life. A life that is a covenant between them two and it was a promise made before God. It's a vow made before God. And God's word says that in the importance of marriage it is a covenant. It's a vow that you made before God and you made it before witnesses. I've stated in Malachi chapter 2 and verse 14 it says yet is she thy companion and the wife of thy covenant. When a man and a woman marry whether or not they are believers they are joined together before God and neither one of the couple nor any other person is to break what God has joined together. Mark chapter 10 verse 6 through 9 it speaks about but from the beginning of the creation God made the male and female for this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and cleave to his wife and they twine two shall be one flesh. So they are no more twine two but one flesh. Whatever God had joined together let no man, not man, no man put asunder. That means there should be no breaking up, no divorce, no separation, none of that. And ladies if you're married to an unbeliever it is no reason to just divorce him or leave him. First Corinthians chapter 7 and verse 13 through 16 let's read that and I'm reading from the King James Version and it says and the woman which hath a husband that believeth not and if he is pleased to dwell with her let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. Else were their children unclean but now are they holy. Yeshua Jesus Christ had given this answer to the Pharisees when they came and they asked him. I just love Yeshua's response to when those Pharisees tried to entrap him with things. And even though he gave answers sometimes they still weren't satisfied. They weren't satisfied with the answers that he gave them because they tried to tempt him. They were trying to tempt him when they asked him the question if it is lawful for a man to put away his wife for any cause. And they quoted Moses in the Old Testament when it says because Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce to put her away. Now yes of course Moses did that. Yes of course and Jesus agreed. Jesus said to them you know and he said to them he said you know in Mark chapter 10 you know he was attributing to that commandment and he said to the hardness of their heart and this is exactly what my husband was saying about you know the hardness of a person's heart that they don't know and they don't worship or serve God because of the hardness of their heart. And because of the hardness of their heart is why Moses put this writing in as a bill of divorcement for them. Because of the hardness of their heart and it was because of that that Moses gave this and Jesus said that. And let's look at the definition because I know I've been using that word hardened heart. So a hardened heart and this is according to the Google definition and it says that is an attitude that is stubbornly self-centered. It's an attitude. Hardened heart is an attitude that is stubbornly self-centered. In Mark chapter 10 and verse 6-7 Jesus told them that from the beginning of creation God made male and female and that man which he repeated and he said shall leave his father and his mother and cleave to his wife. Yeshua went on to conclude that man and woman are not two but they are one flesh and that is found in Mark 10 and verse 8 and his exact words we can read that his exact words in Mark 10 8-9 verse 8 says and they twine shall be one flesh for they are no more twine but one flesh. And verse 9 says what therefore God hath joined together let no man put asunder. It's there. It's there. His disciples weren't even pleased with the answer he gave to the Pharisees. His disciples weren't even pleased. If you would read that in Mark chapter 10 and in verse 10 Yeshua explains well the Bible explains their reaction and the reason why they question him again with the same question. And Yeshua answered in verse 11 and 12 of Mark chapter 10 and he said to them and I will read that it says in verse 11 whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another committed adultery against her. And verse 12 says and if a woman shall put away her husband and be married to another she committed adultery. Y'all excuse all my you know I get a little excited and when I get a little excited I make little errors there. I blame it on my former stuttering and murmuring you know. But no excuse. No excuse. Okay. No excuse. But anyway with that I hope I'm not losing my thought by thinking that. Hey this is my friend Barbara Melvin you know thank God for her. She always say don't worry but the excuse is always it shows that it's authentic okay. Don't I mean all the not using the excuse but all the errors and the mistakes that you make. Don't worry about that. Just continue and you know and people would just accept what you're saying. But I don't just want people to accept what I'm saying. I want people to understand and know and yes sometimes I do get a little confuddle up but that's okay I'd be back right back on track. All right okay and you're reading it but you can read that in Mark chapter 10 and get the clear picture of what I'm saying. But divorce fornication and adultery will not happen when we live by God's principles. Okay once we live by God's principles and we be obedient to his word and we sit in the multitude of wise godly elders ladies. We sit in the midst of wise godly elders. That's what marriage is. That's the knowledge of God for our marriage and our relationship that we know and we understand. And we allow them to teach us all the how to's for a successful and ordinary marriage and relationship. And the knowledge of God for your marriage and relationship will come when you prioritize in your marriage and in your relationship. And they can help you. They can help you and as an elderly woman I can tell you how you can prioritize God in your relationship. And you can take this from me and like I said I'm a wise godly elderly woman who would love to share with you these ways of how you can prioritize. Organize yourself by prioritizing God in your relationship and in your marriage. Okay so number one worship God in spirit and in truth. Okay number two you pray together daily. Number three you have open conversations with each other. Number four you communicate clearly and often. Number five tell your husband daily that you're thankful for having him in your life. Number six make time for you two as a couple. You got to make that time. I can't stress that enough. Make that time. Number seven plan for some personal time together. Plan for personal time. Number eight understand that it's okay to disagree. You can disagree. You don't have to always agree all the time. Me and my husband disagree a lot. I'm telling you but we agree a lot and we disagree to agree a lot. And number nine build trust. Marriage must be built on trust. Okay so you continually build trust. Number ten you learn to forgive quickly. Quickly. Number eleven you submit honor, obey and reverence to him. And number twelve is you love him with all of your heart, your soul and your flesh. Okay and these twelve priorities are essential to a successful marriage. They are keys to an extraordinary marriage ladies. Having knowledge of God for your marriage and relationship is putting God first in your marriage and in your relationship. When we put God first in our marriage and relationships then become a picture of how Yeshua Jesus love us. And it shows us there how much he loves us. In Ephesians chapter 5 verse 25 and 33 and it says and reading from verse 25. Husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it. Verse 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. Verse 27 that ye might present it to himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish. Verse 28 so his wife loveth him so ought men to love thy wife as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Verse 29 for no man ever yet hate his own flesh but nourish it and cherish it even as the Lord the church. Verse 30 for we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones. Verse 31 for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife and they too shall be one flesh. Verse 32 this is a great mystery for I speaking concerning Christ and the church. Verse 33 nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself and the wife see that she reverence her husband. At times I know we assume that someone loves us or we assume that the person knows that we love them and we appreciate them rather than be showing it to them. But that's not what Yeshua Jesus Christ did. He sacrificed for us because he wants the best for us and we have to sacrifice for I'm not saying die I'm saying sacrifice for our husbands. We have to sacrifice sometimes we don't want to do certain things but we sacrifice in order to do those things that need to be done. Godly marriage and relationship looks like unity y'all it's united it's unified it's one flesh. In a marriage husbands and wives are on the same team. Two people who have chosen to be joined together as one. Unity doesn't mean you have to agree on everything or have all the same preferences likes and dislikes. Instead it means sticking together in spite of your differences. Indeed God has given to married couples the profound gift of being able to fulfill the purpose of their creation. You know through all the things that he has given us. Marriage is an example of what God and Jesus Christ has shown us. That's what he wants marriage to be like. The way how he wants the church to be. The way how he was when he walked on the earth. Our character is supposed to be that way. And that way is how we are supposed to be. In concluding ladies because I know I can go on with this but we're going to really talk about this. When we talk about marriage there's a lot to talk about when it comes to talking about marriage. I'm coming to an end right now. But we have to know that there's a lot that we can put into our marriage. And know that if we have that knowledge of God and we keep in mind that marriage reflects the covenant between Yeshua Jesus Christ and the church. That it's vitally important that we honor our vows. And we know that it's a covenant and we made that vow. We have to keep it so that God would know and keep him in our life and in our marriage. And we would have a successful marriage. We would. We would have an extraordinary marriage. Well so ladies I am going to complete this right now. I am going to end this and that completes the first of the five knowledge of God. Which the knowledge of God is and the three vital key components that I have given you. So we will continue with the second one of the five knowledge of God. We will do that next week.
