The speaker is greeting everyone and talking about his son's recent wedding. He emphasizes the importance of honoring God in marriage and understanding the roles of husband and wife. He mentions that the high divorce rate is due to a lack of understanding of these roles. He also discusses the significance of having Jesus at the center of a marriage and the importance of staying faithful. He concludes by urging men to take responsibility and prioritize their families. all right everybody let me start it live way over here walking to the to the office all right good morning good morning everybody good morning let's let's set you up boom there you go get my chair in place here all right how is everybody doing this morning good morning good morning good morning good morning this morning long time no see good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning everybody it's good to see you good to see you this morning good morning miss Stacy good to see you good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning a brick of faith I love it I love it even though I've seen it a thousand times I love it a brick of faith mmm that is good good morning good morning mr. Janet thank you so much good morning it's sister Rosemary sister Rosemary how are you doing this morning in our prayers and thank you so much good morning Jim good morning Jim Baker is that you oh my my my my good morning today's title marriage are you going a different route we're talking about marriage since my son getting married we'll talk about marriage we won't be too long this morning we'll probably go until about 7 7 15 laugh out loud marriage right blessings and good morning good good good to see you all this morning yes good morning good morning good morning good to see you Joseph's trial was pushed to the end of the year hmm well we're going to keep Joseph in prayer know that God is in charge there's a reason and so with that being said we're going to keep Joseph in prayer someone said new here now I'm afraid to pronounce your name but I'm going to say on you new drama it will make it four years oh my my my my my my well let's remember the original Joseph he spent some time and so that's the last name and your first name no okay morning pastor Paul wanted to stop by and ask how you are doing friend I am doing good Kate and I am doing great I cannot complain we had a wedding this weekend and a lease deal a lease deal all right Alicia I'm gonna follow you back and there you go a lease so Alicia I'm sure I'm messing that up but please forgive me but we had a great weekend all right I hope everybody's doing good please forgive me we've been off the radar for a while my son got married this weekend and folks what a wonderful wedding what a wonderful wedding I tell you hang on hang on I gotta I gotta read something to you real quick before we we get started something that last night I was oh my my my what was the ooh what was it hang on I got it I got to find something real quick hang on hang on hang on okay had to see something right there hang on first Corinthians 118 go there real quick first Corinthians 118 let me say hi real quick hello everybody good morning good morning good morning you gained a daughter I did I did grace I gained a daughter her name is Alyssa mrs. Abram now and I I tell you what I was so pleased but let me read something to you for the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it is the power of God that is in 1st Corinthians 118 why do I read that with regards to a wedding so as you know in a wedding everybody must get up and the father the the mother the the other parents meaning us and family members get up and they share you know a word with the group with regards to the wedding and so the father of the bride got up and the mother and the brother and so on etc but my son got up and he had written his stuff down like everybody else did and he says good morning and he says first I want to start by saying give honor to God folks when he said I give honor to God because I am here today and this is happening today because of God when my son said that anything else he said after that was was was almost a blur my heart was overtaken with joy give honor to God because he's the reason I am here at this moment it's funny his future sister-in-law said good luck to both of you like most people they say good luck and this and that but my son hit the nail on the head give honor to God I am here because of him and I tell you thank you miss Kim and I tell you what I I was moved but what a beautiful wedding you know a wedding Genesis 224 says therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall become one flesh did you guys get that in the Bible the Bible says that when we get married right we we we we if you will we become as one that that doesn't mean that we dislike our parents or we disrespect them or we dishonor them but but we become hi miss Jasmine good to see you he's it says it says we become as one let me read it again therefore shall a man leave his father and mother that means that that man is going to leave the house of his parents leave the authority of his parents leave the the the if you will be the the discipline structure of his parents and now he become comes as one thank you he become or she becomes as one with their spouse so now my son does not need to come back under the the authority of his mom or dad he is his own man he's his own individual he has his own family he is taking care of his wife and vice versa his wife his my my daughter-in-law now comes on the authority of her own household and I thought that was so beautiful at the wedding and that's another thing a wedding you know there was a lot thank you thank you thank you so much Nate you know a wedding is a very powerful thing and it takes months and months to prepare it takes a certain amount of money to to to to invest in it it takes a lot of people power and and and the vows that I did I cry I didn't praise God you guys are praying for me but the vows that I communicated with them and had them respond to only took five six ten minutes I'm not really sure but here's something you need to understand that a marriage takes a lifetime the preparation only a moment the the certain amount of finances to make it happen only for a short amount everything is only a short amount but the marriage is for a lifetime it's for a lifetime and so my son now is going to until death do us part he's going to be working and perfecting his marriage you want to know why because marriage is a covenant let me repeat it is a contractual or a covenant relationship look what Malachi 2 for says and you shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you that my covenant might be with Levi sayeth the Lord of hosts it is a covenant relationship it's a covenant relationship it's not to be broken because we don't like each other it's not to be broken because you've changed it's not to be broken because I've outgrown you it is a covenant relationship that stays together it's a covenant relationship an agreement before God before the church before the people to say that was I'm so sorry that was Malachi 2 for that is a covenant relationship between God and man marriage what God puts together let no man let no woman put a thunder or separate good morning marriage now I'll tell you another thing a marriage is is established by God to be between a man and a woman let me repeat that marriage was established by God the oldest institution established by God between a male and a female now I'm going to show you another observation that I made with regards to the wedding here we go how many of you out there love to go to weddings and how many of you out there love weddings give me a give me a yes that you love weddings aren't you love to go to weddings please pray for me that God connect me with flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone yes amen yes yes right don't we all love going to weddings I do love being at weddings I want you to hear something I knew I was waiting to share this with you even in the wedding I wanted to share this with you at the wedding there was a bunch of people a lot of people from New York and from Florida from here there they were at the wedding but every wedding I've ever been to right here we go there's something special that's taking place in the weddings well I get the crowd thing I get the crowd thing but for the most part we like weddings there's something special that it takes place in a wedding people of all all faiths all beliefs some are non-believers for some beautiful reason when they go into a wedding it seems like the world is at peace and you know what God moved up on my heart with regards to my son's wedding or any wedding not just his wedding done properly and what I mean done properly between a male and a female when we go to a wedding we know that we are pleasing God I want you to think about what I said when we attend the wedding when we are in the wedding when we are at the wedding we know that we are pleasing God do you get what I'm going with because we know that God established the wedding he invented the marriage he created or that created the template if you will of a male and female coming together as one once again as we as we looked at Genesis 224 therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall become one flesh when we become go to a marriage when we attend a marriage and a wedding excuse me everything seems right everybody is crying their hearts are are as one with the wedding and what is going on because we know that we are honoring God with this time-honored institution called the marriage between a man and a woman I am telling you folks a way almost a year ago man I became angry at God then then we we attend this wedding knowing this is what God ordained from the very beginning it's not luck it's not it's you know when people are getting up at my son's wedding they said we wish you good luck we hope it works no this is what God has put together and we are all at this wedding knowing that God has ordained this from the very beginning and I tell you what it was so so beautiful so glad I caught you this morning newborn life has been a little crazy well you know what praise God praise God but there you go can I hit you with a mind-blowing question you you can you can't I don't know if I can answer it but you can hit me up with that but folks the wedding was just incredible watch this Genesis 2 18 and the Lord God said it is not good that man should be alone I will make him help I will make him a help me for him when God brings the right person in your life when God brings the right individual in your life there is nothing better than that oh my my oh oh here it comes the mind-blowing question lot laugh out loud pastor Paul why is there such high divorce rates and all married couples including Christians I think that is a powerful question and I'm gonna answer it this simple are you ready here we go I believe that there's a high divorce rate because we don't adequately understand our roles as husband and wife let me repeat that I think there's a high divorce rate because we do not understand right amen miss Jasmine I was about to flow right into that one we do not understand the role of our positions as husband and wife the first role as husband and wife all right and the eyes of God is to be ordained by God to be kept together by God and to have God the center of your marriage remember that the first miracle that Jesus ever did was turn the water into wine and where was it at anybody answer that question when Jesus turned the water into wine you where was that at can anybody answer that question when Jesus turned the water into wine where what event was taking place where was Jesus at when that took place what was it a wedding so someone had enough sense to invite Jesus uh-oh uh-oh I'm preaching someone had enough sense to invite Jesus to their wedding we need to have Jesus in our wedding we need to understand our positions we need to understand our role and and and so you see you ask the question so many divorces because guess what Satan knows that if he can destroy the marriage he can destroy a people he can destroy the family you want to know something I've shared with you before I'm not speaking here as if I have never been divorced I know what it's like to go through a divorce I know what it's like to to to to to I know what it's like to suffer loss to go to court to depend on lawyers to counseling and the list goes on I would not wish divorce on anybody but if we would work on our marriages if we would understand our position our role as a man as a woman and know that Jesus must be in the center of our relationship we will be fine Bible doesn't allow divorce the Bible does allow divorce under what what does the Bible allow divorce what is the only reason for divorce in the Bible can anyone tell us this can anyone tell us the only reason this is not pastor Paul's first rodeo amen amen infidelity adultery that is the only ground that does it now here we go folks here we go that doesn't mean we still have to get divorce that means that's the only grounds for divorce there have been many people in marriages that adultery has happened and their marriage is better now than any other time now that doesn't give you the go to the green light to go commit adultery and so that you can get a divorce what about abuse abuse is not likened to but I rest assured I don't believe that the Lord wants you to be abused and rest assured I don't sure the Lord does not want you to be harmed in any way spiritually physically mentally emotionally verbally and the list goes on however the only grounds for divorce is adultery sexual relationship outside of the the framework of marriage that is adultery so with that being said we we we have to understand our roles in marriage we have to understand our roles as as as as as man and woman we get too overly concerned you know I miss Jasmine I did I did a counseling with her and her husband and you know we had some very incredible long conversations and so you know one of the biggest things beyond even them was just understanding the role as a man and to understand the role as a woman you know at the wedding my daughter said you know dad weddings are so archaic and I laughed at her because I think she says things to try to get me around to get me you know fired up to get me you know you know just like and I was like really Kiana however marriage is very old but the thing about marriage is we have to understand our roles we have to understand our position as a man and a woman and men you're not called to sit here and be a dictator oh oh should I preach on this just a minute okay here we go men you are not called to be an abuser you're not the master of the house you are not the slave driver you're not the dictator you're not the one MC you are the man you are the head of the house now what does that mean head of the house you're the head of the house with regards to providing for your family you're the head of the house by leading your family to church you're the head of the you're the head of the house by being the example for the rest of the household you're the head of the house because you're going to be the ones who protect those that you love you're going to be the first one in you're going to be the first one to protect you're going to do everything you can to provide for your family the Bible says that a man who does not take care of his family is worse than a sinner those the this is what we must understand as men we have a role we have a position it's not about you know sex it's not just about sex it's not just about you know this or that and so on etc being a man is putting your wife and your children first you're not a dictator now the understand this and hear me when I say this please when a man is living a godly life the woman will follow oh y'all didn't get that did you when a man is living a godly life the woman shall follow see a lot of you too busy playing video games and not taking care of your family a lot of you too busy sucking down the alcohol and not take care of your family a lot of you are too busy out running with your friends and not taking care of your family if you would have your behind at home providing for your family watching over them taking care of them being present and accounted for that woman will follow they will trust me look at society we have so many women walking around and their signature title for men oh they're dogs oh they're there you know they're this or they're that and so on etc you want to know why because men have fallen short of their responsibility when it comes to that wife and those children think about it think about it think about it now we have to be responsible we have to be accountable we have to take care of our families we have to nurture we have to love we should be the first one in prayer we should be the first one out the door on our way to church we should be the first one giving glory to God we should be the first one living according to God's Word if we understood our roles men I'm harder on men than I am women but if men would understand their roles we wouldn't see the amount of divorces that we're dealing with men we and and we are so distracted by nonsense we are so distracted men we can't even watch a television show folks I was talking about young man the other day and he was talking about being addicted to pornography and he had been free of the addiction of pornography for four years now but I said wow man thank God for you thank God for you and I said well can I tell you something he said what I go I've not I've never been talking about me I've never been addicted to pornography I go but I know how I'm wired as a man and even if I'm watching a show and something comes on maybe we're watching maybe the game of thrones I'll use that as an example you're watching some game of thrones and all of a sudden the scene comes on that you know it's a man that's going to cause you like whoa I told I told him I get up and I leave the room he said what I said I understand how I am wired as a man now men I said earlier we get so easily distracted but we have to keep our focus at all times what does the Bible say give no room to the devil we got we can't be distracted men if we would be serious and this all stems from the question someone said pastor Paul why are so many marriages end up divorce I think stats say that 50% one out of two marriages end up in divorce and I guarantee if they dig a little deeper I would have to say is and most the time folks don't need to get divorced if they would keep their focus on their marriage and let me tell you all something here real quick let me be very very very sincere with you 1st Corinthians 712 says nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let every woman have his own husband let me read that again 1st Corinthians 712 says nevertheless to avoid fornication and that word fornication means sexual activity outside the framework of marriage but let's read it again nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband miss Debbie is my standard of beauty miss Debbie is the the the individual that I share sexual relationship with and her and her only alone and that goes both ways but we lose our focus because we are getting distracted from what is important that God put this marriage together now here's the crazy thing you know what people say watch this watch this people say well you can look but don't touch that is the dumbest thing one could even say you can look but don't touch if you're sitting there lusting after an individual in due season that will take root and in due season you will get birthed to that sin now don't come on let me take a sip of my coffee because I got I got to throw something out there all right let me do this hang out the adultery in your heart right right adultery in your heart that's when Jesus said if you've looked at a woman and you you've lusted over her you've committed adultery in your heart all right we got that squared away but watch this folks understand something hear me out you can acknowledge beauty you can acknowledge an individual is handsome but when you sit there and and and and and lock your concentration your mind your heart and fixate on an individual you've got to be very careful because that's going to slip into adultery that's going to slip into fornication that's going to slip into committing a sin so I can acknowledge wow that's a beautiful person oh that's a handsome person I'll leave it there and go about my business I leave it there and go about my business I acknowledge it and I move forward you want to know why because miss Debbie is my standard of beauty and when someone says now speaking of miss Debbie my standard of beauty I was looking at some pictures now this this is not a real old picture this is a few years old but there's me and miss Debbie all right look at miss Debbie there's miss Debbie and there's me that was a why I mean it's not real old but you can see she had dark hair then you can see I had a little more hair but that's my standard of beauty now sometimes we get in a position of marriage where we say well you know you don't look the way you used to look you're not the same size that you used to be I've grown out of love with you that is the dumbest I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude I don't mean to be rude but that is the dumbest thing that one could say and I tell you what the one who said it do you think you haven't changed the one who said it do you think that you haven't lost your hair or you have more wrinkles or you've gained a little weight or maybe you've lost a little weight or your attitude has changed a bit when we come together it's still death do us part it is a contract it is a covenant between us and God number one another reason why there's so many divorces because Satan knows if he can cause divorce the ripple effect from that divorce is going to affect your children and your children's children how many of you have been okay let's be honest with each other and good thing about tic-tac how many of you on here have been divorced let's I've been there me and miss Debbie was divorced and and and I was divorced many years ago we've been together now for almost 30 years so it's been a long time everyone sadly how many on here has been divorced they've been through a divorce somebody me I have yep I have I have okay right there we're look look guys look at this look at this okay I'm with you we're in that club not yet Oh Lord brother Nate come on okay we see it all right next question here we go I'm the child of divorced parents that's where I'm going next how many of you have experienced some sad events with your kids because of divorce your kids have been affected by the divorce how many of you I have I have my oldest child I don't have the best relationship with her because of divorce how many of you have me there you go Jim yes I have see folks look at that look at that look at this yes this this this this is the majority of the people I have we Satan knows that when divorce comes into play that is going to affect your children and your children's children and even you have been the the the the child of divorce and you're an adult now it is affected you it affects you it affects your viewpoint on marriage it affects your viewpoint on on your children it affects your viewpoint on the spouse or ex-spouse it creates a immeasurable amount of complication and Satan knows this Satan knows this he knows that if he can affect the marriage between a man and woman then he can affect the offspring what else does Satan do Satan tries to alter what marriage is folks I'm telling you right now I don't care what anybody says the description or definition of marriage is between a man and a woman let me repeat this the definition of marriage now you can try to change the definition you can try to change what it means to be married but the marriage between a man and a woman must be must be and it must be forever forever until death do your part why why death why do we say until death do you part death is the only thing that can break the contract uh-oh wait a minute wait a minute this is what I said to my son do you take this woman and when I said to my daughter-in-law do you take this man until what death do you part because death is the only thing that can break the contract didn't Jesus go to the cross because why God said for the wages of sin is death why if you did the truth knowledge good neighbor you shall surely die and did not Jesus go to the cross and died why because he broke the contract you got the connection did you get it did you get it Wow separated that's not divorce that's separated that's not divorce that's separated that's it that's that that's not divorce somebody got that what is that revive you got that you got that brother I have what do I mean look okay watch this watch this hang on let me read something hang on wait a minute wait a minute first Corinthians 7 to nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let every woman have his own husband first Corinthians 728 but if thou but if thou marry thou has not sin and if a virgin Mary she has not sin nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh but I spare you hang on I'm looking I'm looking oh let me read this real quick not read this but let me say this real quick the only way that a marriage can come to a closing is through divorce I mean through death all right when me miss Debbie went before God and said our vows we made an agreement a covenant a contract with God we made an agreement we made a covenant we made a contract before God we said I do before God now there were people there well there and we use my son because our wedding was not like a traditional wedding I was my dad my grandma my mom me and miss Debbie but in my son there were maybe a hundred people there and they were there at the altar with me and when they said there I do they made a covenant agreement before God and at the end of that covenant mr. at the end of that covenant agreement they said they said I do I do in front of who God now even though I was physically there they did it in front of God amen pastor Charles Stanley amen thank you for bringing that brother James a mighty man of God a teacher of the word went home to be with the Lord could you imagine teaching all those years the Word of God the power of God and to wake up in the presence of Jesus Christ there's a man that that that ran a good race I am saddened that he has left this world but I rejoice because he is with the Lord I love it I love it I love it I love it back to our subject matter though so when we make an agreement before God with regards to our marriage we say we will not we will not divorce we will stay together until death do us part death when death comes in that breaks the contract when death comes in that's when the contract is broken that means at that point in time that if the man is left he can remarry if the woman's left she can remarry because why the contract till death to his part is broken Jesus when God came to Adam and Eve and said if you eat of the tree you shall surely die death came into the world for the wages of sin is death now Jesus went to the cross and died and the contract was broken so we transition from the law unto grace because we put our faith yes you may ask a question miss Ashley about marriage please mention again if I don't see it Jesus broke that contract that we may be free from the law and now we're under grace there we go I love it I love let me go back here I keep seeing this young man pastor Paul if we strive to be more like Jesus why do we not celebrate Passover as he did curious hang on is divorce a sin if if it is adultery why did you get a divorce on your first marriage adultery adultery my ex-wife cheated on me she married she's married to the man that she committed the adulterous act with I didn't want to get a divorce and I felt like a failure with regards to the divorce but however it happened the Passover Jesus becomes our Passover Jesus speaks of the Passover but he becomes our Passover what it was the Passover it was a lamb what was that lamb it was the sacrificial act by putting the blood on the door that they that the the angel would bypass the firstborn who had the blood the blood represented grace with that being said Jesus is our Passover we celebrate the Passover or the type and shadow or the imagery of the original Passover I hope that makes sense so now I don't have to get a lamb because why because Jesus was the sacrifice once and for all not only was he the sacrifice he is also the high priest the King Jesus all right do you have to be married by law are you can you be married in spirit or both just asking I think that's a very good question but I think that you want to go before the church and I think that you want to go before the man of God and I believe by example that is the best thing but can I follow back on that because I've been asked that before I personally because Adam and Eve were before God I believe that if we are going to if we're going to emulate that and imitate that that the church has been given the authority so with that being said I believe that we want to get married before the church how beautiful that even Jesus likens his relationship with the church like a groom and a bride so that would be my my off-the-cuff answer to that however I would I would personally seek God's guidance and I would personally get married under the authority of the church and as the man of God that would be me always ask God to reveal and direct your steps amen folks we got about five more minutes because I've got to get off here and I got a head down the road and get over to ace and and check in so but um there's some okay Matthew 19 6 wherefore they are no more twain or two but one flesh what therefore God has joined together let no man put asunder the Passover was for and before Jesus amen the Passover was before Jesus but it represented Jesus the Passover was in the Old Testament but Jesus became our Passover the lamb in the Old Testament and even if you look at the lamb when they crucified the lamb or killed the lamb it was at three o'clock even Jesus the time that his death took place was at three o'clock you seem genuine pastor Paul but I don't believe any of this anymore after growing up in a cult you know what I understand what you're saying if you grew up in a cult that within itself sends red flags however please I want to back up I want to follow you if you don't mind I'm gonna follow you okay and Rasta Ferb I just followed you and would you please keep following me and so I tell you what I could understand growing up in a cult and understand thinking or being taught non-truth but I teach from the Word of God and I believe the Word of God and it's never misled me nor has it misled my family so please in all love would you please follow me because I just sure I can do that it has completely messed with my mind I I get it I could understand being in a false teaching I could understand that but with that being said Jesus would never steer you wrong he will never steer you wrong he loves you he loves you to the point that he went to the cross no other religion in the world that the founder of that faith that the founder died for that faith Jesus is the only one and he loves you and he's alive he overcame death he overcame the grave and he proved to the cosmos that he was God because no one no one ever went to hell and came back but Jesus did and he loves you he loves you so much that he wants you to be in the presence of his father he says no one coming to the father but by me he loves you to the point and even though you might I I'm I'm lost I loved him too so much I dedicated my life to him I'll keep watching but keep your it here we go I'll leave you with this I am sorry that you found yourself in a cult because of your family I'm so sorry but Jesus is not a cult and I'm sorry there were some people teaching some false teachings with regards to Jesus Jesus is the farthest thing from the cult he loves unconditionally the Bible says that we were while we were yet still sinners he went to the cross for you and I we didn't he didn't he didn't he didn't wait for us to get right he gave his life to get us right and he loves you he loves me and so with that being said thank you thank you brother Nate but please please just keep following don't don't dismiss Jesus keep following and seeking that personal relationship with the Lord the Lord loves you he knows you by name he knows you and it's not by accident you're here this morning it's not by accident that that that you and I are conversating right now it's not by accident that mostly 180 people are listening to what you say and I'm sure without a doubt some of them are praying they are praying for you right now that's not by accident that is divine appointment that is that is something that that that God orchestrated and I am I apologize for anybody that mistreated you or told you false teaching but I know with all my heart the Lord loves you the Lord loves you all right guys I'm going to share with you two more minute or with two more minutes and I've got to get going I want you to pray for me and miss Debbie I had to come to the hardcore truth that and someone asked us earlier am I really a pastor do I really pastor a church I do I do I pastor a church my father started in the early 60s but I had to come to the hardcore decision that my church will probably never grow that my church will probably never be a big church and that's not a big deal but it used to be because you've got to remember that pastors base their success based on how their church grows I've come to the conclusion that you know in the last couple weeks I was hurt by a couple folks and I I'm sure I was just hurt and I had to come to the conclusion that here we go we're going to lose some folks again and I just you're if I lived in Arizona thank you um I've just come to the conclusion that our church is going to be the small intimate loving church that are going to have the same people God Lord willing every Sunday and then we're just going to love each other and we're just going to do everything we possibly can to grow closer to Christ I'm I'm just not it's hard to explain and I'm trying to be very transparent is that I'm not a traditional pastor with a traditional church that offers all these traditional things for people we're just a loving church some people are on time they're not on time some people have their Bibles they don't have their Bibles some people are really relaxed but I just want to love on people that's all I'm trying to do is just love on people and I'm afraid because people come there that because we don't have a lot to offer people find themselves leaving and it hurts but on the flip side I've just come to the conclusion that we're just a small loving church that just wants to be here to love on people and so I hope y'all will pray for me I know that's hard to understand what I'm trying to express but I hope that you all will just pray for me and this daddy I in the past I've I've thought about giving up because our church wasn't growing but that's Satan I'm not going to give up I'm just coming to the conclusion I'm going to have a ministry the size of the size of thank you miss Jasmine we're gonna have a ministry the size of Jesus's first ministry how many people were in Jesus's first ministry can anybody answer that question can anybody tell me what was the what was the membership number of Jesus's first church 12 amen and one of them was was faking so if Jesus can have a ministry that has only 12 then guess what pastor Paul is going to have a ministry that has what it has and so this now miss Susan you said something very incredible there miss Susan that is the alternative miss Susan said but your church is growing on tik-tok that miss Susan is where God showed me something he showed me that that the church is beyond the walls that I'm at I've known this intellectually but I feel that emotionally and spiritually that that that the church has gone beyond the four walls and now has it has can barely stand to hear any Bible talk it's triggering but I stopped here and okay there you go but here we go that the church goes beyond the four walls and now the church in this ministry has gone internationally has gone internationally I mean we're listened by people from Africa the UK I think we've even had people on here from I think and I don't know but I think we even had someone on here at one time from Ukraine so with that being said I thank God thank God maybe well let's see maybe God led you to this church well I I'm led to this church even from Anaheim praise God I'm led to this church my father started it in the 60s and I you just sometimes get a little down you get a little down but you know what just pray for us because I believe God is using us using me and I'm over that I don't think that way anymore I used to think like that like ah but look what Louisiana we got somebody from Iran Wisconsin South Florida is there really somebody from Iran here are you serious but it says Milwaukee Wisconsin I so you probably originate from Iran put in the comments where you are Chicago there we go Houston Texas yeah I love it Indiana sad that this app may be taken down are you on another app if

New Zealand is creating something where you're going to be able to see us on other platforms to talk when it takes down hopefully love the Kentucky Cup right matter of fact this cup was sent to me by a beautiful family I think the first year maybe the second year on tick-tock and I've drank out of it majority of the time of all my views I love this cup this is a beautiful family who not only did this beautiful family send me a cup their story is beautiful they lost their child and and and the husband was struggling with anger but I was blessed to be able to counsel with him to talk with him and now they have a new child a new baby the other ones in the presence of the Lord and so with that being said they sent me a cup and I just praise God so for my Kentucky family but there you go guys

off the radar for a while but once again my son is married and I'm so excited I when I called his wife mrs. Abram it brought so much joy into my heart and so now we're excited about the next chapter in their lives and without a doubt the moment we find out that she's with child I am excited they're on their honeymoon right now they're there my son and his wife or aunt then that sound good my son and his wife they're on their honeymoon right now so we are we are definitely definitely excited about what God is about to do all right how some say Paul didn't write certain books in the Bible I believe he did well let's talk about that tomorrow I will say this the the books that Paul was pinned to it written he wrote because if people say that Paul didn't then that dismisses what Paul said and if Paul didn't say it then we have a lot to deal with but I found that a lot of religions try to dismiss Paul and dismiss him being the author of certain books because why if you dismiss it then you mess up a whole lot of doctrines and teachings of Christ all right all right let's pray father God we thank you we praise you we lift you up we thank you for this we thank you for your son we thank you for grace and mercy and Lord I pray for the church and pray for the ministry not my church but the church I pray for all those that are the sound of my voice father God and I pray that you will bless Lord I pray for Joseph Lord you know his circumstance you know what he's going through you know what he's dealing with I pray for him and his mother and Rosemary and pray for her I pray that you watch over that you would keep her that you would give her the strength of faith understanding that's unmeasurable that she was just trusting you father God and Lord I just pray for the individual who declared themselves to be an atheist I declare that you would just reveal yourself to them for we know that the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who perish but to us we know it's the power of God father God and I pray that you would just bless that individual to see the greatness of who you are and Lord last but not least we pray for our friend that who says that she was raised in a cult we pray for her that you would just comfort her that you'd watch over her that you would bless her that you would just keep her Lord in your hedge protection and father I pray that she would just get over the hurt of the church that church or that ministry or whatever that cult was and Lord that the true church the church it's made up of people of love kindness gentleness just just would embrace her they would love her and they would encourage her to serve you father we thank you we praise you we ask all of this in the name of Jesus and we all say amen all right everybody God bless you have a beautiful wonderful day keep your head up may the Lord lead you I choose love
