44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 6: tuning in, and thank you again for coming out. And

45
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 6: I like to start with something funny and heard about

46
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 6: this mom. She had two young boys that were known

47
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 6: for their mischievous behavior. Anytime trouble occurred, they were certain

48
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 6: to be a part of it. She decided to take

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 6: them one at a time to see her pastor. The

50
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 6: pastor said to the first boy, son, where is God?

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 6: He sat there silently. You ask again, where is God?

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 6: Still no reply. The third time the pastor asked, the

53
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 6: young boy bolted out the door, ran home, said to

54
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 6: his brother, God is missing, and they think we did it.

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 6: Hold off your bible and say it like you mean it.

56
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

60
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

61
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you you. I

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 6: want to talk to you today about having a healthy home.

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 6: The people God put in your life are not there

64
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 6: by accident. It's not a coincidence that you met that woman,

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 6: fell in love and got married. The creator of the

66
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 6: universe brought your paths together. You didn't just decide to

67
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 6: have those children. They didn't just show up because you

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 6: and your spouse got together. God knew your children before

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 6: they were ever born. They had your name on them

70
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 6: before you even thought about having a child.

71
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 5: Your parents, the people that raised you. You didn't just

72
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 5: happen to end up in that home. God put you

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 5: there on purpose.

74
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 6: He's given you, your spouse, your children, those parents as

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 6: a gift.

76
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 5: They're on loan to you for a period of time.

77
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 6: They're not always going to be there, and God is

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 6: counting on you to take care.

79
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 5: Of his most prized possessions.

80
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 6: They're not ordinary. There are extremely valuable. Don't take them

81
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 6: for granted. Your husband, your wife, they may have some faults,

82
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 6: you may not always see eye to eye, but they

83
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 6: are a.

84
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 5: Treasure given to you by Almighty God.

85
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 6: Those children may be a lot of work, they don't

86
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 6: always do what's right, but they're a.

87
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 5: Gift from God.

88
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 6: You have to see your spouse, your children, your family

89
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 6: as being extremely valuable, as a special treasure that God

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 6: has entrusted you with.

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 5: And every day you need to.

92
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 6: Tell them I love you, I'm proud of you, I'm

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 6: so glad that you're in my life. They need to

94
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 6: hear this on a regular basis, not just on their birthday.

95
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 6: Their anniversary. Honey, it's Valentine's Day. I love you.

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 5: No, once a year is not going to cut it.

97
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 6: If you don't tell your wife how much you love her,

98
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 6: somebody else will be generous when it comes to expressing

99
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 6: your love.

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 5: Be free with your compliment.

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 6: Men, you can never tell your wife too many times

102
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 6: how much you think she's beautiful and how glad you

103
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 6: are to have her in your life.

104
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: Tell her again and again.

105
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 6: That's one of the best habits we can all develop,

106
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 6: complimenting our spouse. Victorious, she knows she's beautiful. She's been

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 6: told that her whole life. Now I could think I

108
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 6: don't need to tell her again. I've told her a

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 6: thousand times. No, I understand this principle. People never get

110
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 6: tired of hearing how much you love them, how proud

111
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 6: you are of them. I tell her again and again, Victoria,

112
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 6: you are so beautiful.

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: Do you know?

114
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 6: Not once has she ever said Joel stops saying that

115
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 6: I know I'm beautiful.

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 5: No, it's funny. The other day we were in the room.

117
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 6: Behind the platform, getting ready for the early Sunday morning service,

118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 6: standing in front of this mirror, and I was adjusting

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 6: my time. She was putting her microphone on, I said, why, Victoria.

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: You look great. You look so beautiful.

121
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 6: She thanked me, and later that morning we were in

122
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 6: the same room getting prepared for the second Sunday morning service.

123
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: Just as we were about to walk.

124
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 6: Out, she nudged me and said, you didn't tell me

125
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 6: I looked beautiful. I said, oh, I thought you would

126
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 6: remember from two hours ago. Every time I walk off

127
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 6: this platform, Victoria says, Joel.

128
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 5: That was a great message today.

129
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 6: And I know she thinks I'm great. She's told me

130
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 6: a thousand times, but my.

131
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 5: Attitude is keep the cards and letters coming.

132
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 6: One time, when I finished speaking, she said, Joel, that

133
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 6: was magnificent today. I walked out on cloud nine. The

134
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 6: next week she went back to that was great today.

135
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: I was offended.

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 6: But I wonder how many relationships would go to a

137
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 6: new level, how many marriages could be saved, how much

138
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 6: arguing and Petty's strife would stop if we'd simply start

139
00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: expressing our.

140
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 5: Love on a daily basis.

141
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 6: I've learned yesterday's I love you is not good enough

142
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 6: for today. Every day you need to express it, and

143
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 6: one of the best ways is with our words, with compliments.

144
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 6: Do you know people don't know what you're thinking. Victoria

145
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 6: could have thought all day long that sure was a

146
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 6: good message, but her thoughts were not blessing me. A

147
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 6: blessing is not a blessing until it's spoken. You have

148
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 6: to express it, tell them what you're thinking. Words have

149
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 6: created power. Words can lift people. They can bring out confidence,

150
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 6: self worth. When you tell someone, hey, I'm proud of you,

151
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 6: You're a gift.

152
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: In my life.

153
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 6: Honey, if I had to do it all over, I'd

154
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 6: marry you again in a split second. Those are not

155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 6: just nice phrases. Those words are like glue.

156
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: They strengthen the relationship.

157
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 6: They're deepening the roots, and that's what makes it easier

158
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 6: to go through the difficult times of life. When people

159
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 6: know you believe in them, you're proud of them, When

160
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 6: you keep the emotional accounts full, then when you hit

161
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: a bump in the road, you have the strength to

162
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 6: stick together and overcome it. But the reason some people

163
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 6: they split apart so easily, they can't withstand the smallest

164
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 6: adversity is because they don't have any gloom. They don't

165
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 6: have kind words. They're not expressing their love. When you

166
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 6: tell your spouse something as simple as honey, I love you.

167
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 6: You are speaking the blessing over your marriage. You are

168
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 6: adding more glue and ladies. One of your husband's greatest

169
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 6: needs or is for you to.

170
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 5: Be proud of him.

171
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 6: He may seem big, strong, invincible, like he doesn't need anything,

172
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 6: but underneath that tough outer shell is a little boy longing.

173
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 5: For your approval.

174
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 6: One of the most powerful you can tell your husband

175
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 6: is I am proud of you. When that man hears

176
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 6: that you're proud, something comes alive on the inside. And

177
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 6: this is something only you can give as his wife.

178
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 6: His parents can be proud of him, and that's good.

179
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 5: They should be.

180
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 6: His colleagues can give him awards, that's nice. His friends

181
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 6: can tell him how amazing he is. That's fine, But

182
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 6: nothing compares to the power you have as his wife

183
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 6: to tell him I'm proud of you. When you do that,

184
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 6: that does more than all of the others combined. Studies

185
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 6: show us having a wife that's proud is at the

186
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 6: top of the list of what every male longs for. Women,

187
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 6: don't withhold your blessing. Just as you like to hear

188
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 6: your beautiful I love you, your husband needs to hear

189
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 6: I'm proud of you. Well, Joel, I do this if

190
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 6: he was more of this and less of that. No,

191
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 6: don't focus on all of his faults. Focus on on

192
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 6: his good qualities. The more you praise him, the better

193
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 6: he will do. Your husband is like a cork floating

194
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 6: in the water. The more honor you pour in, the

195
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 6: more you tell him that you're proud of him. It's

196
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 6: just like you're pouring water into that bucket. That cork

197
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 6: your husband will keep rising higher and higher.

198
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 5: Now.

199
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 6: He may be down right now, but instead of nagging complaining,

200
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 6: try a different approach.

201
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 5: Pour some honor in.

202
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 6: Find something he's doing right and say, hey, I'm proud

203
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 6: of you for being at that job for twenty years.

204
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 6: I'm proud of you for coaching our children through school.

205
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 6: I'm proud of you for coming to church with our

206
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 6: family each Sunday. He may be doing one hundred things

207
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 6: you don't like. Find three things you do like, and

208
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 6: start pouring some honor in.

209
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 5: Ladies, think about this.

210
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 6: Maybe your husband is not reaching his highest potential because

211
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 6: the honor.

212
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 5: Level is low.

213
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 6: You, as his wife, control the honor fawcet. You have

214
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 6: the most power to do something about it.

215
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 5: Don't complain. Pour in honor.

216
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 6: Honey, I'm proud of you. You may not have broken

217
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 6: the addiction altogether, but I'm proud of you for at

218
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 6: least trying. You didn't get the promotion, but that doesn't

219
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 6: change one thing in my mind. I'm still as proud

220
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 6: as I can be of you. Here's the key, Ladies,

221
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 6: your husbands cannot live off of old honor. You were

222
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 6: proud of him when he graduated from college. That's good,

223
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 6: but that was five years ago. You were proud when

224
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 6: he stepped up to take care of your parents. That's great,

225
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 6: but that was in the past. What has he done

226
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 6: lately that you can tell him you're proud of If

227
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 6: you'll pour in some new honor, not only will he

228
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 6: rise higher, but the whole family will rise higher. When

229
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 6: you get up tomorrow morning to give your husband a

230
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 6: big hug and say I'm.

231
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 5: Proud of you, you good looking thing.

232
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 6: When you pick him up off the ground, he'll go

233
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 6: out with the spring in his step. But you'll be

234
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 6: amazed at how these simple words will lift his spirit.

235
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 6: They'll cause him to accomplish more. He'll have a better attitude.

236
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 6: He'll not only treat other.

237
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 5: People better, but he'll treat you better.

238
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 6: He'll go out of his way to do kind things

239
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 6: for you and the children, all because you met one

240
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 6: of his greatest needs, that longing for you to be

241
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 6: proud of him. In the same way, men, your wife

242
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 6: needs your approval. She needs your blessing. This is vital

243
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 6: to her becoming who God created her to be. And

244
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 6: God is going to hold the men responsible as the

245
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 6: spiritual authority in the home for blessing our wives. That

246
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 6: means to build her up, to make sure she feels loved,

247
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 6: valued and respected. Now I know men, they never give

248
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 6: their wife the blessing. These women only hear about what

249
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 6: they're doing wrong, how the dinner was late, the kids

250
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 6: are too loud, how they're not that attractive. Men, you're

251
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 6: not going to be blessed. If you're pushing your wife down.

252
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 6: She's connected to you. If you say disrespectful, demeaning things,

253
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 6: you're not only pushing her down, you're pushing yourself down.

254
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 6: Many women suffer from low self esteem from depression because

255
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 6: they never received the blessing from their husband.

256
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 5: Men, don't let that be your wife.

257
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 6: Solomon is considered one of the wisest men that's ever lived.

258
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 6: You know what he did every morning. When he first

259
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 6: got up, he blessed his wife. He looked her in

260
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 6: the eyes and said, there are many beautiful women in

261
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 6: the world, but you excel them all. He started his

262
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 6: day complimenting his wife. What would happen, men, if every

263
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 6: day before we went to work, before we started the project,

264
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 6: we told our wife, you're the most beautiful girl I've

265
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 6: ever seen.

266
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 5: There's nobody like you in all the world.

267
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 6: Well, you said, Julie. If I did that, I would

268
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 6: be lying. No, your wife, I know.

269
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 5: What you're thinking.

270
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 6: Your wife should be the most beautiful woman in the

271
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 6: world to you. Don't compare her with your neighbor's wife.

272
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 6: Don't compare her. Don't compare her with the girl on

273
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 6: the cover of the magazine or the actress on television.

274
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 6: They've had a lot of help, perfect lighting, professional makeup, surgery,

275
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 6: more surgery, and then more surgery. Your wife is the

276
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 6: gift God gave you. Physical beauty can be fleeting, but true,

277
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 6: lasting beauty is found on the inside. That woman God's

278
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 6: given you is a gift. She's a treasure. She's one

279
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 6: of a kind. Nobody has her fingerprints. When you realize this,

280
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 6: you can get up like Solomon and say hey, baby,

281
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: you're looking fine today.

282
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 5: That's even in the scripture.

283
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 6: It's my version, though, But I'll admit I am not

284
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 6: the most romantic person. I don't sit around and write

285
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 6: poetry to Victoria all day long and plan these candlelight dinners.

286
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 6: I tell people I'm not Romeo, I'm Jolio. But I

287
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 6: have learned this principle of blessing my wife. I realize

288
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 6: I will not rise any higher. I can have the talent,

289
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 6: the education, the opportunity, but our family will get stuck

290
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 6: if I withhold my blessing. Men, don't ever put your

291
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 6: wife down. Get out of the habit of saying sarcastic remarks.

292
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 6: Don't always have to have the last word.

293
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: Let it go. Keep peace in the home. Somebody's receiving.

294
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: It's gonna buy it for a husband.

295
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 6: If you can't say anything good, don't say it.

296
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 5: Words can cut like a knife. You can say something

297
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 5: hurtful that only takes ten seconds, but ten years later

298
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 5: the person still feels the wounds.

299
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 6: Be careful what you say, especially to those that are

300
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 6: closest to you.

301
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 5: Are you taking care of your gift?

302
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 6: Used to play basketball with a young man, and every

303
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 6: time after the game. He'd say, well, I gotta go

304
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 6: home and see my old lady. Talking about his wife.

305
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 6: He didn't realize putting his wife down didn't make him

306
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 6: look good. If she's the old lady, that means he's

307
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 6: the old man.

308
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 5: I used to tell him, I'm.

309
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 6: Gonna go home and see my wife, Queen Victoria. If

310
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 6: she's the queen, that makes me the king, and I

311
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 6: like that. Solomon wrote a book in the Bible. It's

312
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 6: called the Song of Solomon. In the eight chapters of

313
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 6: his book, he praised his wife over forty times. He

314
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 6: was constantly talking about her strength, her beauty, her intelligence,

315
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 6: all through the day.

316
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 5: There's no woman like her.

317
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 6: Hey, you said, Joel, you don't know my problem my wife.

318
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 6: She's hard to get along with. She's got a bad attitude. No,

319
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 6: you start praising her, You start telling her how beautiful

320
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 6: she is. When you talk about the good, you'll draw

321
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 6: out the good. You talk about the negative, you'll draw

322
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 6: out the negative. You need to remember the reasons you

323
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 6: fell in love. When you were dating that person, you

324
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 6: only focused on their good qualities. She's beautiful, she's fond,

325
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 6: she's got a great sense of style.

326
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 5: Or he's so smart, he's so talented. I love his

327
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: sense of humor.

328
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 6: That person had the same negative qualities back then as

329
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 6: they have right now, you just didn't focus on it. Ladies,

330
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 6: think about this. When you were dating that man, you

331
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 6: knew was the ball game every Sunday afternoon, dressed up

332
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 6: like the team mascot, had twelve of his friends over,

333
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 6: and didn't acknowledge you existed for three and a half hours.

334
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 6: You knew when you were dating him he wore the

335
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 6: same pair of shorts for seven years. You knew when

336
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 6: you were dating his breath was a weapon of mass destruction.

337
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 5: You knew his forty.

338
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 6: Inch waistline was bigger than his IQ, but you were

339
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 6: so in love you overlooked those qualities. Didn't bother you

340
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 6: a bit. Men, when you were dating her, you knew

341
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 6: that cooking wasn't her specialty. She made your dinner once

342
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 6: and you were out sick for three days. You knew

343
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 6: she had an assigned parking spot at the mall. You

344
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 6: knew she would buy the shoes and not pay the rent.

345
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 6: You knew she had a direct phone line with her mother,

346
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 6: But you were so in love, didn't bother you too

347
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 6: off and we fall out of love and start noticing

348
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 6: little annoyances become magnified.

349
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 5: What's the solution. We've got to fall back in love.

350
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 6: Start remembering the reasons why you couldn't live without that person.

351
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 6: Magnify their good qualities, Overlook the things that are bothering you.

352
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 6: Bring some freshness into the relationship. Laugh more often, take

353
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 6: more walks, do something out of the routine.

354
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 5: That person God has given you is a gift.

355
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 6: They have approximately eighty percent of what you need. No

356
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 6: person has one hundred percent. If you're not careful, you'll

357
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 6: focus on the twenty percent that they don't have what

358
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 6: you don't like, and you'll end up frustrated. Some people

359
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 6: even leave the eighty to go find the twenty in

360
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 6: somebody else, but they'll soon realize that person is missing

361
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 6: twenty percent as well. It's better to stick with who

362
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 6: you got, see their good qualities of what they do have.

363
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 6: In the scripture, it says that because Solomon praised his wife,

364
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 6: their children rose up and blessed her as well. In

365
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 6: other words, when the husband takes the lead and blesses

366
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 6: the wife, the children will as well. Husbands, fathers, we're

367
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 6: setting the example in the home how we treat our

368
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 6: wife is going to have a great impact on how

369
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 6: our children respect and honor their mother.

370
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 5: Men, go out of your.

371
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 6: Way to show respect to your wife. Treat her like

372
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 6: you want somebody to treat your daughter. Ladies treat your

373
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 6: husbands like you want somebody to treat your own son.

374
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 6: I've heard it said if you see a man opening

375
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 6: the car door for his wife, that means he either

376
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 6: has a new car or a new wife. But men,

377
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 6: we need to get back to the days of respect

378
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 6: and honor.

379
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 5: It takes a man to open the door for his wife.

380
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 5: It takes a man to say I love you, You're beautiful, I'm.

381
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 6: Proud of you. You're not a man just because you're

382
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 6: a male. Treating your wife with respect makes you a man.

383
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 6: Taking care of your family makes you a man. Watching

384
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 6: after your children that's what really makes you a man.

385
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 6: It's interesting in reproduction, the father is the one that

386
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 6: gives the child identity. The female has two X chromosomes.

387
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 6: The male has an X and a Y chromosome. If

388
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 6: the male gives the female another X, the baby will

389
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 6: be a girl.

390
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: If he gives her a Y, it will be a boy.

391
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 6: But the female has no power to determine the sex

392
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 6: of the child. The identity always comes from the father. Now,

393
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 6: I believe not only physically, but God has given us

394
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 6: power as fathers to help our children know who they are.

395
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 5: We have incredible influence in our ch children's lives.

396
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 6: Fathers, we have a responsibility to affirm our children every day.

397
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 6: I'm proud of you. You're going to do something great.

398
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 6: You've got an amazing future. Our children need our approval.

399
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 6: We're helping them to form their identity. But if we're

400
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 6: too busy, we're never there. That child is not going

401
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 6: to be as confident and secure as he should be. Fathers,

402
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 6: be involved in your children's life. Bring them to church,

403
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 6: be at their ballgames, meet their teachers, know who their

404
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 6: friends are, Listen to what they're listening to, pay attention

405
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 6: to what they're watching. They may not like it, but

406
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 6: a child that has boundaries deep down, that child knows.

407
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 5: That he's loved. That's what gives him value.

408
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 6: Fathers, when that young man comes over to take your

409
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 6: daughter on a date, be the first one at the door.

410
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 6: Put the shotgun down, but be there to let him

411
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 6: know there's a man in the house watching. After this

412
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 6: girl friend of mine told me when he was a

413
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 6: teenager that he had a drug problem. He is so

414
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 6: clean cut, I couldn't believe he was on drugs.

415
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 5: He said, yeah, I was.

416
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 6: Drugged to church every weekend. I was drugged to Sunday school.

417
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 6: I was drugg the youth class. He said, you know, Joel,

418
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 6: those drugs are still in my veins. They still affect

419
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 6: everything that I do. He was saying, my parents poured

420
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 6: into me. They watched over me, heard the story about

421
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 6: a lady that had lived a very promiscuous life, one

422
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 6: man after another, couldn't stay in a stable relationship. Friend

423
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 6: of mine is a minister, and.

424
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 5: He asked her what went wrong? Where did you lose

425
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 5: your way?

426
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 6: She told how when she was seventeen years old, she

427
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 6: walked into her family room wearing her brand new prom dress.

428
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 5: Feeling so special.

429
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 6: Her father was sitting in a chair reading the newspaper.

430
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 6: She said, Dad, what do you think to spin around

431
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 6: and around dancing, feeling so special, so.

432
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 5: Beautiful, so proud.

433
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 6: But her father never looked up from reading the newspaper.

434
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 6: Her dance slowed down a little more, a little more,

435
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 6: until she realized her dad wasn't interested, walked out of

436
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 6: the room because she didn't feel valued and approved by

437
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 6: her father. She went through man after man trying to

438
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 6: get that approval that only her father could give. We

439
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 6: have something extremely powerful. Your children need your blessing. Make

440
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 6: them a priority. It's not an option, it's a responsibility.

441
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 5: You have something to give as a father that nobody

442
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 5: else can give.

443
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 6: Friend of mine was watching the football game on television.

444
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 6: His little boy came in said, Dad, I've got to

445
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 6: ask you something. My friend never took his eyes off

446
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 6: the television. He said, yes, So what do you need?

447
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 6: The little boy said no, Dad, listen to me with

448
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 6: your eyes. What a great principle. Give your children your

449
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 6: undivided attention. Make sure they know that they're a priority

450
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 6: in your life. When our daughter Alexander was a little girl,

451
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 6: maybe three years old, she used to come in to

452
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 6: my office at home when I was preparing my messages

453
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 6: for the weekend. This was right after my father went

454
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 6: to be with the Lord, and I didn't know if

455
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 6: I could do this. I felt very pressured, and even

456
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 6: though we tried to keep her in other parts of

457
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 6: the house, at least once or twice a day she

458
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 6: would come in and say, Daddy, can we wrestle.

459
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 5: She didn't want to wrestle. She wanted to wrestle.

460
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 6: And most of the time I'd take a five minute

461
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 6: break and we'd go play. But this particular day, it

462
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 6: was a Friday evening, I was running behind, and here

463
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: comes little Alexander, little bitty toddler, long blonde hair, blue eyes,

464
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 6: cute as can be. Daddy, can we go play? I said, honey,

465
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 6: I would love to, but I can't write now.

466
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 5: Maybe a little later. She said okay. She came back.

467
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 6: Five minutes later, Daddy, are you ready now? I said, no, honey,

468
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 6: I'll come get you. You don't have to come get me.

469

Speaker 5: Okay.

470
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,280

474
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,800
