And I like to 44 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 3: start with something funny and heard about this mom she 45 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: had two young boys that were known for their mischievous behavior. 46 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: Anytime trouble occurred, they were certain to be a part 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: of it. She decided to take them one at a 48 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: time to see her pastor. The pastor said to the 49 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: first boy, son, where is God? He sat there silently, 50 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: ask again, where is God? Still no reply. The third 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 3: time the pastor asked, The young boy bolted out the door, 52 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: ran home, said to his brother, God is missing, and 53 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: they think we did it. Hold up your bible and 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 55 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 3: I am what it says I am. I have what 56 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: it says I have. I can do what it says 57 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 58 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 3: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 60 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 61 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: about having a healthy home. The people God put in 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 3: your life are not thereby accident. It's not a coincidence 63 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: that you met that woman, fell in love and got married. 64 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 3: The creator of the universe brought your path together. You 65 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: didn't just decide to have those children. They didn't just 66 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: show up because you and your spouse got together. God 67 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: knew your children before they were ever born. They had 68 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: your name on them before you even thought about having 69 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: a child. Your parents, the people that raised you. You 70 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: didn't just happen to end up in that home. God 71 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: put you there on purpose. He's given you, your spouse, 72 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: your children, those parents as a gift. They're on loan 73 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: to you for a period of time. They're not always 74 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: going to be there. God is counting on you to 75 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 3: take care of his most prized possessions. They're not ordinary, 76 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: they are extremely valuable. Don't take them for granted. Your husband, 77 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: your wife, they may have some faults, you may not 78 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 3: always see eye to eye, but they are a treasure 79 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: given to you by Almighty God. Those children may be 80 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 3: a lot of work, they don't always do what's right, 81 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: but they're a gift from God. You have to see 82 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: your spouse, your children, your family as being extremely valuable, 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 3: as a special treasure that God has entrusted you with. 84 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 3: And every day you need to tell them I love you, 85 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: I'm proud of you, I'm so glad that you're in 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: my life. They need to hear this on a regular basis, 87 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 3: not just on their birthday, their anniversary. Honey, it's Valentine's Day. 88 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: I love you. No, once a year is not going 89 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: to cut it. If you don't tell your wife how 90 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: much you love her, somebody else well be generous when 91 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: it comes to expressing your love. Be free with your compliments. Men, 92 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 3: you can never tell your wife too many times how 93 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: much you think she's beautiful and how glad you are 94 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 3: to have her in your life. Tell her again and again. 95 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: That's one of the best habits we can all develop, 96 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 3: complimenting our spouse. Victorious, she knows she's beautiful. She's been 97 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: told that her whole life. Now I could think I 98 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: don't need to tell her again. I've told her a 99 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: thousand times. No, I understand this principle. People never get 100 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: tired of hearing how much you love them, how proud 101 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: you are of them. I tell her again and again, Victoria, 102 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: you are so beautiful. Do you know? Not once has 103 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: she ever said? Joel stops saying that I know I'm beautiful. No, 104 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: it's funny. The other day we were in the room 105 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: behind the platform, getting ready for the early Sunday morning service, 106 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: standing in front of this mirror. I was adjusting my time. 107 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: She was putting her microphone on. I said, wow, Victoria, 108 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: you look great. You look so beautiful today. She thanked me, 109 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: and later that morning we were in the same room 110 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 3: getting prepared for the second Sunday morning service, and just 111 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 3: as we were about to walk out, she nudged me 112 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 3: and said, you didn't tell me I looked beautiful. I said, oh, 113 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 3: I thought you would remember from two hours ago. Every 114 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 3: time I walk off this platform, Victoria says, Joel, that 115 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: was a great message today. And I know she thinks 116 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 3: I'm great. She's told me a thousand times, but my 117 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: attitude is keep the cards and letters coming. One time, 118 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 3: when I finished speaking, she said, Joel, that was magnificent today. 119 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: I walked out on cloud nine. The next week she 120 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: went back to that was great today. I was offended. 121 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: But I wonder how many relationships would go to a 122 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: new level, how many marriages could be so how much 123 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 3: arguing and Petty's strife would stop if we'd simply start 124 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 3: expressing our love on a daily basis. I've learned yesterday's 125 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 3: I love you is not good enough for today. Every 126 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: day you need to express it, and one of the 127 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: best ways is with our words, with compliments. Do you 128 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: know people don't know what you're thinking. Victoria could have 129 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: thought all day long that sure was a good message, 130 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: but her thoughts were not blessing me. A blessing is 131 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: not a blessing until it's spoken. You have to express it, 132 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: tell them what you're thinking. Words have created power. Words 133 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: can lift people. They can bring out confidence, self worth. 134 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 3: When you tell someone, hey, I'm proud of you, You're 135 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 3: a gift in my life. Honey, if I had to 136 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 3: do it all over, I'd marry you again in a 137 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: split second. Those are not just nice phrase is. Those 138 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: words are like glue. They strengthen the relationship. They're deepening 139 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: the roots, and that's what makes it easier to go 140 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 3: through the difficult times of life. When people know you 141 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: believe in them, you're proud of them, When you keep 142 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: the emotional accounts full, then when you hit a bump 143 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 3: in the road, you have the strength to stick together 144 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: and overcome it. But the reason some people they split 145 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: apart so easily, they can't withstand the smallest adversity is 146 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 3: because they don't have any gloom. They don't have kind words. 147 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 3: They're not expressing their love. When you tell your spouse 148 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: something as simple as honey, I love you. You are speaking 149 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 3: the blessing over your marriage. You are adding more gloom, Ladies, 150 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 3: one of your husband's greatest needs or is for you 151 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 3: to be proud of him. He may seem big, strong, invincible, 152 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: like he doesn't need anything, but under that tough outer 153 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: shell is a little boy longing for your approval. One 154 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: of the most powerful things you can tell your husband 155 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: is I am proud of you. When that man hears 156 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 3: that you're proud, something comes alive on the inside. This 157 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 3: is something only you can give as his wife. His 158 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: parents can be proud of him, and that's good. They 159 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: should be. His colleagues can give him awards, that's nice. 160 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 3: His friends can tell him how amazing he is. That's fine, 161 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: But nothing compares to the power you have as his 162 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 3: wife to tell him I'm proud of you. When you 163 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: do that, that does more than all of the others combined. 164 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 3: Studies show us having a wife that's proud is at 165 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: the top of the list of what every male longs for. Women, 166 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: don't withhold your blessing. Just as you like to hear 167 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 3: your beautiful I love you, your husband needs to hear 168 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: I'm proud of you. Well Well, Joel I do this 169 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: if he was more of this and less of that. No, 170 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: don't focus on all of his faults. Focus on his 171 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 3: good qualities. The more you praise him, the better he 172 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: will do. Your husband is like a cork floating in 173 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 3: the water. The more honor you pour in, the more 174 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: you tell him that you're proud of him. It's just 175 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: like you're pouring water into that bucket. That cork, your 176 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 3: husband will keep rising higher and higher. Now. He may 177 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 3: be down right now, but instead of nagging complaining, try 178 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: a different approach. Pour some honor in. Find something he's 179 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 3: doing right and say, hey, I'm proud of you for 180 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 3: being at that job for twenty years. I'm proud of 181 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: you for coaching our children through school. I'm proud of 182 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: you for coming to church with our family each Sunday. 183 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 3: He may be doing one hundred things you don't like. 184 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 3: Find three things you do like, and start pouring some 185 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: honor in. Ladies, think about this. Maybe your husband is 186 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 3: not reaching his highest potential because the honor level is low. You, 187 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 3: as his wife, control the honor fawcet. You have the 188 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 3: most power to do something about it. Don't complain. Pour 189 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 3: in honor, honey, I'm proud of you. You may not 190 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 3: have broken the addiction altogether, but I'm proud of you 191 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: for at least trying. You didn't get the promotion, but 192 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: that doesn't change one thing in my mind. I'm still 193 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 3: as proud as I can be of you. Here's the key, Ladies, 194 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 3: your husbands cannot live off of old honor. You were 195 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: proud of him when he graduated from college. That's good, 196 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 3: but that was five years ago. You were proud when 197 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 3: he stepped up to take care of your parents. That's great, 198 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 3: but that was in the past. What has he done 199 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: lately that you can tell him you're proud of If 200 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: you'll pour in some new honor, not only will he 201 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: rise higher, but the whole family will rise higher. When 202 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: you get up tomorrow morning, give your husband a big 203 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 3: hug and say, I'm proud of you, you good looking thing. 204 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 3: When you pick him up off the ground, he'll go 205 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: out with a spring in his step. But you'll be 206 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: amazed at how these simple words will lift his spirit. 207 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 3: They'll cause him to accomplish more. He'll have a better attitude. 208 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: He'll not only treat other people better, but he'll treat 209 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: you better. He'll go out of his way to do 210 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 3: kind things for you and the children, all because you 211 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 3: met one of his greatest needs, that longing for you 212 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: to be proud of him. In the same way, men, 213 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: your wife needs your approval. She needs your blessing. This 214 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 3: is vital to her becoming who God created her to be. 215 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 3: And God is going to hold the men responsible as 216 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: the spiritual authority in the home for blessing our wives. 217 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: That means to build her up, to make sure she 218 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: feels loved, valued and respected. Now I know men, they 219 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 3: never give their wife the blessing. These women only hear 220 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: about what they're doing wrong, how the dinner was late, 221 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 3: the kids are too loud, how they're not that attractive. Men, 222 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 3: you're not going to be blessed. If you're pushing your 223 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: wife down. She's connected to you. If you say disrespectful, 224 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 3: demeaning things, you're not only pushing her down, you're pushing 225 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: yourself down. Many women suffer from low self esteem from 226 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 3: depression because they never receive the blessing from their husband. Men, 227 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 3: don't let that be your wife. Solomon is considered one 228 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 3: of the wisest men that's ever lived. You know what 229 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: he did every morning when he first got up, he 230 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: blessed his wife. He looked her in the eyes and said, 231 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: there are many beautiful women in the world, but you 232 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: excel them all. He started his day complimenting his wife. 233 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: What would happen, men, if every day before we went 234 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 3: to work, before we started the project, we told our wife, 235 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 3: you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. There's nobody 236 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: like you in all the world. Well, you said, Joela, 237 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: If I did that, I would be lying. No, your wife, 238 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: I know what you're thinking. Your wife should be the 239 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 3: most beautiful woman in the world to you. Don't compare 240 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: her with your neighbor's wife. Don't compare her. Don't compare 241 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: her with the girl on the cover of the magazine 242 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: or the actress on television. They've had a lot of help, 243 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: perfect lighting, professional makeup, surgery, more surgery, and then more surgery. 244 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 3: You're a wife is the gift God gave you. Physical 245 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: beauty can be fleeting, but true, lasting beauty is found 246 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 3: on the inside. That woman God's given you is a gift. 247 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: She's a treasurer. She's one of a kind. Nobody has 248 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 3: her fingerprints. When you realize this, you can get up 249 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: like Solomon and say, hey, baby, you're looking fine today. 250 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 3: That's even in the scripture. It's my version, though, But 251 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: I'll admit I am not the most romantic person. I 252 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 3: don't sit around and write poetry to Victoria all day 253 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: long and plan these candlelight dinners. I tell people I'm 254 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: not Romeo, I'm Jolio. But I have learned this principle 255 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: of blessing my wife. I realize I will not rise 256 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: any higher. I can have the talent, the education, the opportunity, 257 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: but our family will get stuck if I withhold my blessing. Men, 258 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: don't ever put your wife down. Get out of the 259 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 3: habit of saying sarcass remarks. Don't always have to have 260 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: the last word. Let it go. Keep peace in the home. 261 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 3: Somebody's receiving. He's gonna buy it for a husband. If 262 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 3: you can't say anything good, don't say it. Words can 263 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 3: cut like a knife. You can say something hurtful that 264 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 3: only takes ten seconds, but ten years later the person 265 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: still feels the wounds. Be careful what you say, especially 266 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 3: to those that are closest to you. Are you taking 267 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: care of your gift? Used to play basketball with a 268 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 3: young man, and every time after the game he'd say, well, 269 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: I got to go home and see my old lady. 270 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: Talking about his wife. He didn't realize putting his wife 271 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: down didn't make him look good. If she's the old lady, 272 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: that means he's the old man. I used to tell him, 273 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go home and see my wife, Queen Victoria. 274 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 3: If she's the queen, that makes me the king, and 275 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 3: I like that. Solomon wrote a book in the Bible. 276 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: It's called the Song of Solomon. In the eight chapters 277 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 3: of his book, he praised his wife over forty times. 278 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 3: He was constantly talking about her strength, her beauty, her intelligence, 279 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: all through the day. There's no woman like her. Hey, 280 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 3: you said, Joel, you don't know my problem my wife. 281 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 3: She's hard to get along with. She's got a bad attitude. No, 282 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 3: you start praising her, You start telling her how beautiful 283 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 3: she is. When you talk about the good, you'll draw 284 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 3: out the good. You talk about the negative, you'll draw 285 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 3: out the negative. You need to remember the reasons you 286 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: fell in love. When you were dating that person, you 287 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 3: only focused on their good qualities. She's beautiful, she's fond, 288 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 3: she's got a great sense of style. Or he's so smart, 289 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 3: he's so talented. I love his sense of humor. That 290 00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 3: person had the same negative qualities back then as the 291 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 3: they have right now, You just didn't focus on it. Ladies, 292 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 3: think about this. When you were dating that man, you 293 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 3: knew he watched the ball game every Sunday afternoon, dressed 294 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: up like the team mascot, had twelve of his friends over, 295 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: and didn't acknowledge you existed for three and a half hours. 296 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 3: You knew when you were dating him he wore the 297 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 3: same pair of shorts for seven years. You knew when 298 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 3: you were dating his breath was a weapon of mass destruction. 299 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: You knew his forty inch waistline was bigger than his IQ, 300 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 3: but you were so in love you overlooked those qualities. 301 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 3: Didn't bother you a bit. Men, when you were dating her, 302 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 3: you knew that cooking wasn't her specialty. She made your 303 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: dinner once and you were out sick for three days. 304 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 3: You knew she had an assigned parking spot at the mall. 305 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 3: You knew she would buy the shoes and not pay 306 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 3: the rent. You knew she had a direct phone line 307 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 3: with her mother, But you were so in love, didn't 308 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 3: bother you too Often we fall out of love and 309 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 3: start noticing little annoyances become magnified. What's the solution. We've 310 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 3: got to fall back in love, Start remembering the reasons 311 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 3: why you couldn't live without that person. Magnify their good qualities, 312 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 3: overlook the things that are bothering you, bring some freshness 313 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 3: into the relationship. Laugh more often, take more walks, do 314 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 3: something out of the routine. That person God has given 315 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,479 Speaker 3: you is a gift. They have approximately eighty percent of 316 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 3: what you need. No person has one hundred percent, and 317 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 3: if you're not careful, you'll focus on the twenty percent 318 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: that they don't have what you don't like, and you'll 319 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 3: end up frustrated. Some people even leave the eighty to 320 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 3: go find the twenty in somebody else that they'll soon 321 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 3: realize that person is missing twenty percent as well. It's 322 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 3: better to stick with whom you've got. See their good 323 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 3: qualities the eighty percent of what they do have. In 324 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 3: the scripture, it says that because Solomon praised his wife, 325 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 3: their children rose up and blessed her as well. In 326 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 3: other words, when the husband takes the lead and blesses 327 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 3: the wife, the children will as well. Husbands, fathers. We're 328 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 3: setting the example in the home. How we treat our 329 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: wife is going to have a great impact on how 330 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 3: our children respect and honor their mother. Men, go out 331 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 3: of your way to show respect to your wife. Treat 332 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 3: her like you want somebody to treat your daughter. Ladies, 333 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 3: treat your husbands like you want somebody to treat your 334 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: own son. I've heard it said if you see a 335 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 3: man opening the car door for his wife, that means 336 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 3: he either has a new car or a new wife. 337 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 3: But men, we need to get back to the days 338 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 3: of respect and honor. It takes a man to open 339 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 3: the door for his wife. It takes a man to 340 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 3: say I love you, You're beautiful, I'm proud of you. You're 341 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: not a man just because you're a male. Treating your 342 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 3: wife with respect makes you a man. Taking care of 343 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: your family makes you a man. Watching after your children 344 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 3: that's what really makes you a man. It's interesting in reproduction, 345 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 3: the father is the one that gives the child identity. 346 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 3: The female has two X chromosomes. The male has an 347 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 3: X and a Y chromosome. If the male gives the 348 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 3: female another X, the baby will be a girl. If 349 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 3: he gives her a Y, it will be a boy. 350 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: But the female has no power to determine the sex 351 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 3: of the child. The identity always comes from the father. Now, 352 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: I believe not only physically, but God has given us 353 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 3: power as fathers to help our children know who they are. 354 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 3: We have incredible influence in our children's lives. Fathers, we 355 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 3: have a responsibility to affirm our children every day. I'm 356 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 3: proud of you. You're going to do something great. You've 357 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 3: got an amazing future. Our children need our approval. We're 358 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 3: helping them to form their identity. But if we're too busy, 359 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 3: we're never there. That child is not going to be 360 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 3: as confident and secure as he should be. Fathers, be 361 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: involved in your children's life. Bring them to church, be 362 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 3: at their ballgames, meet their teachers, know who their friends are, 363 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 3: Listen to what they're listening to, pay attention to what 364 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 3: they're watching. They may not like it, but a child 365 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 3: that has boundaries deep down, that child knows that he's loved. 366 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 3: That's what gives him value. Fathers, when that young man 367 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: comes over to take your daughter on a date, be 368 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 3: the first one at the door. Put the shotgun down, 369 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: but be there to let him know there's a man 370 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 3: in the house watching after this girl friend of mine 371 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: told me when he was a teenager that he had 372 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 3: a drug problem. He is so clean cut, I couldn't 373 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 3: believe he was on drugs. He said, yeah, I was 374 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 3: drugged to church every weekend. I was drugged to Sunday school. 375 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 3: I was drugg the youth class. He said, you know, Joel, 376 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: those drugs are still in my veins. They still affect 377 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 3: everything that I do. He was saying, My parents poured 378 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 3: into me. They watched over me, heard the story about 379 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 3: a lady that had lived a very promiscuous life, one 380 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 3: man after another, couldn't stay in a stable relationship. Friend 381 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: of mine is a minister, and he asked her what 382 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: went wrong? Where did you lose your way in? She 383 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: told how when she was seventeen years old, she walked 384 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 3: into her family room wearing her brand new prom dress, 385 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 3: feeling so special. Her father was sitting in a chair 386 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 3: reading the newspaper. She said, Dad, what do you think? 387 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 3: Begin to spin around and around, dancing, feeling so special, 388 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: so beautiful, so proud, But her father never looked up 389 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 3: from reading the newspaper. Her dance slowed down a little more, 390 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 3: a little more, until she realized her dad wasn't interested. 391 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 3: Walked out of the room because she didn't feel valued 392 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 3: and approved by her father. She went through man after 393 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 3: man trying to get that approval that only her father 394 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 3: could give. Fathers, we have something extremely powerful. Your children 395 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 3: need your blessing. Make them a priority. It's not an option, 396 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 3: it's a responsibility. You have something to give as a 397 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: father that nobody else can give. Friend of mine was 398 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: watching the football game on television. His little boy came 399 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 3: in said, Dad, I've got to ask you something. My 400 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 3: friend never took his eyes off the television. He said, yes, 401 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 3: So what do you need? The little boy said no, Dad, 402 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: listen to me with your eyes. What a great principle. 403 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 3: Give your children your undivided attention. Make sure they know 404 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 3: that they're a priority in your life. When our daughter 405 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 3: Alexander was a little girl, maybe three years old, she 406 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 3: used to come in to my office at home when 407 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 3: I was preparing my messages for the weekend. This was 408 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 3: right after my father went to be with the Lord, 409 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 3: and I didn't know if I could do this. I 410 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 3: felt very pressured, and even though we tried to keep 411 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 3: her in other parts of the house, at least once 412 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: or twice a day she would come in and say, Daddy, 413 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 3: can we wrestle? She didn't want to wrestle her. She 414 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 3: wanted to wrestle on Most of the time, I'd take 415 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 3: a five minute break and we'd go play. But this 416 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 3: particular day, it was a Friday evening, I was running 417 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 3: behind and here comes little Alexander, little bitty toddler, long 418 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 3: blonde hair, blue eyes, cute. This can be Daddy, can 419 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 3: we go play? I said, honey, I would love to, 420 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 3: but I can't write now. Maybe a little later. She 421 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 3: said okay. She came back. Five minutes later, Daddy, are 422 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 3: you ready now? I said, no, honey, I'll come get you. 423 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 3: You don't have to come get me. Okay. Five minutes later, Daddy, 424 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 3: can we go now? It's getting so frustrated. I said, listen, baby, 425 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: I'm going to come get you. Don't come back anymore. 426 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: Daddy is trying to concentrate. She looked at me kind 427 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 3: of confused, said okay, and walked out. Five minutes later, 428 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 3: she came barely opened the door, said very seriously, Daddy, 429 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 3: are you still trying to constipate? I said no, Actually, 430 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 3: I'm pretty regular. Men take time for your children. Don't 431 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 3: become the greatest pastor the greatest athlete, the greatest coach, 432 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 3: the greatest business person.

The prophet 434 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: Joel said, to wake up the mighty men. I know 435 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 3: today I am speaking to mighty men.
