The Restoration Of The Family Unit - Part 1, Manhood

[00:00:00] Voice in the Wilderness Internet Radio, Light in In World every week. It's not just knowing about the doctrine in the Bible. That is not what we stand for here. Stream in powerful, vividly based messages. This obligation may never be gathered together again as we see.

[00:00:23] Voice in the Wilderness, in Internet Radio, Light in In World every week. Good evening. Welcome to Voice in the Wilderness Internet Radio. We are streaming live, done the Internet from London. This show is dedicated to God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

[00:01:04] On tonight's program we will be discussing the first of a full part series about the Restoration of The Family Unit. We will be studying what the Bible teaches about the Manhood. More about our subject after we have had some music. The Restoration Of The Family Unit, Part 1, Manhood.

[00:04:03] We will discuss this subject tonight with answers from the Bible. Have a pen and paper ready to write on some notes. Tonight listeners will be discussing these questions together. For what purpose was the man made? What masculine qualities is the gospel to restore to a man?

[00:04:26] When is a man to look for a wife? How is a man to be a husband and to care for his wife? And how is a man to help raise children to the glory of God?

[00:04:40] Before we have our study this evening, let us have a word of prayer. Heavenly Father, thank you for voice in the wilderness, Internet Radio, streaming live and the Internet from London.

[00:04:53] But all that we study over this evening, we ask you how this spirit to be of us and teach us and to teach us those truths which help us to be saved in your kingdom in our prayer. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I'm in.

[00:05:09] Now for what purpose was the man created? We read in the book of Genesis chapter 1 and verse 27, So God created man in his own image. In the image of God created he, him, male and female created he, them. We read in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 4.

[00:05:37] In whom the God of this world have blinded the minds of them which believe not? Let's the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on to them. The Bible teaches us that God created man in his own image.

[00:05:55] Jesus Christ is the image of God. He is the second person of the Godhead. And so man was created to reflect the image of Jesus Christ. But why? We read in the book of Matthew chapter 11 and verse 27, This is Jesus speaking,

[00:06:16] All things are delivered unto me of my father. And no man knife the son but the father. Neither know if any man the father saved the son and he to whom so ever the son will reveal him. We read in the book of 1 John chapter 5 and verse 7,

[00:06:36] For there are three that be record in heaven. The father, the word and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one. Man was made in the image of Christ because Christ, the second person of the Godhead, reveals to man God the father.

[00:06:58] This is the order that the Godhead has set up in the universe. We must understand this first listeners in order to understand the true purpose of our existence as men upon this earth. Now listeners, How does the Bible describe what God is like?

[00:07:17] How was man created to be from the very beginning of his existence? This is what tonight's radio broadcast is about. So let us look further at what the Bible teaches. We read in the book of Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 24

[00:07:35] As that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. We read in the book of Colossence chapter 3 and verse 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.

[00:07:56] We read in the book of Genesis chapter 1 and verse 26 And God said, let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have the minion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air

[00:08:13] and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creep in thing that creeper upon the earth. The Bible teaches us that God's image is righteousness and true holiness. This is the light that shines from God.

[00:08:31] Man was created to receive the righteousness and holiness of God through Jesus Christ the Lord. Quite simply listeners, man was created to reflect the light of God's love. Through Jesus Christ, man was created to receive God's love and through God's love

[00:08:51] rule over all the lower orders of being on this planet earth. We read in the book of 1 John chapter 4 and verse 8 to 9, He that love if not, knife not God, for God is love.

[00:09:06] In this was manifested the love of God toward us because that God sent his only be caught in Son into the world that we might live through him. We read in the book of 1 John chapter 5 and verse 11 to 13,

[00:09:22] and this is the record that God have given to us eternal life and this life is in his son. He that have the Son have life and he that have not the Son of God have not life.

[00:09:37] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God. Man was created to live through the Son of God.

[00:09:52] It is recreation and also for redemption that God seeks to restore His purpose of love towards us again through Jesus Christ the Son of God. Yes listeners, Jesus Christ the Son of God is the central being of the universe.

[00:10:08] Now what masculine qualities is the gospel to restore to a man? We read in the book of John chapter 5 and verse 39, search the scriptures for in them you think have eternal life and they are they which testify of me.

[00:10:28] We read in the book of Psalms chapter 119 and verse 172, my tongue shall speak of thy word for all documents are righteousness. Jesus is taught us that the scriptures testify of Him. As man was created by Jesus Christ to reflect His righteousness and holiness

[00:10:50] and as all that God commands men to do is righteous. We can learn from the characters of the men in the Bible who are obedient to God, what true love and true manhood really is. We read in the book of Mark chapter 1 and verse 35

[00:11:08] and in the morning rising up great while before day this is Jesus he went out and departed into a solitary place and they prayed. We read in the book of Hebrews chapter 5 and verse 7 to 9,

[00:11:25] who in the days of his flesh when he had offered that prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears under him that was able to save him from death and was heard in that he feared.

[00:11:40] Though he were a son yet learnt he obedience by the things which he suffered and being made perfect he became the offer of eternal salvation unto all them that to be Him. Jesus shows by his example that the real man wakes up early in the morning

[00:12:01] to spend time with God in prayer. Thus we learn that to be masculine is to pray for strength to resist temptation and to be obedient to God's commandments of true love. We read in the book of Luke chapter 4 and verse 16

[00:12:17] and he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as his custom was he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up for to read. Jesus is taught us that the true man goes to the house of God to worship

[00:12:34] and to read the scriptures. We read in the book of Matthew chapter 14 and verse 14 and Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion towards him and he healed this sick. Jesus shows us that to be a man and masculine is to have compassion

[00:12:58] upon those who are sick and to help them to be healed. We read in the book of Matthew chapter 23 and verse 23 while one to you describes and Pharisees, hypocrites. We pay time of mint and anis and common and have emitted the weight of matters of the law,

[00:13:19] judgement, mercy and faith. These ought you to have done and not to leave the other undone. Jesus shows us to be a man and masculine is to play God's law, judgement, mercy and faith above all other matters in this life.

[00:13:41] Jesus is taught us that these are the matters that that mentioned put first in life in order to be man. We read in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 10 and verse 1 Now I pour myself besieged you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ

[00:14:00] who in presence and base among you but be an absent and bold toward you. We also read in the book of 2 Timothy chapter 2 and verse 24 and the servant of the Lord must not strive but be gentle unto all men apt to teach patient.

[00:14:21] They are listening men Christ is gentle, God is gentle. It is His gentleness yet eternal power that makes him so great. See Psalm 1835. If His eternal power he has eternal control. God is not rough in manners, He is infinitely noble.

[00:14:47] It is not roughness that makes a man but His ability to lovingly exercise controlled power. One can only learn this character trait through the power of the Holy Ghost. Men, please do not paten yourselves after Satan and the world. We as a whole are too rough.

[00:15:08] It must learn to be as refined and gentle as Jesus is. Then we can understand more about purity, holiness and the love of God. We read in the book of Luke chapter 2 and verse 52 and Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.

[00:15:31] We read in the book of Romans chapter 2 and verse 13 for not the heroes of the Lord I just before God but the doers of the Lord shall be justified. Jesus teaches us that as a man increases in his wisdom and stature.

[00:15:48] Then he will increase in the favor with God and man. Jesus teaches us that true masculinity is developed when men exercise what they have learned about God's law, judgment, mercy and faith practically.

[00:16:07] To be a man is not just to know what God says but it is to do what God says concerning these matters. It is practical God in us that enables a man to be like Jesus.

[00:16:20] There are too many men that can talk well but when it gets down to the business of doing good and take an action for good as a man should they are as weak as water.

[00:16:32] They have no power within themselves to do good that they promise to others because they are sin rule in their lives. And listeners we have not forgotten about women. Male and female were both created to reflect Jesus. We will be looking specific that woman to next week.

[00:16:51] They will have a break for some music and they may carry on with this study. You won't bear their cross because it takes everything to serve the Lord. Some one bright mansions but they won't pay the cost because it takes everything to serve the Lord.

[00:17:35] It takes your hands and your head and your heart yes it takes your all. It takes everything to serve the Lord. It takes your time and your means and your prayers list you fall. It takes everything to serve the Lord.

[00:18:08] Somewhere his name while they still live in shame but it takes everything to serve the Lord. They want to be seen but they don't want to be clean but it takes everything to serve the Lord.

[00:18:37] It takes your hands and your head and your heart yes it takes your all. It takes full surrender to serve the Lord. It takes your time and your means and your prayers list you fall. It takes everything to serve the Lord.

[00:19:11] When is the man to look for a wife? We read in the book of Matthew chapter 6 and verse 33 but seek you first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. We read in the book of Genesis chapter 2 and verse 24.

[00:19:46] Therefore shall the man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh. We read in the book of 1 Timothy chapter 5 and verse 8 but if any provide not for his own and especially for those of his own house,

[00:20:06] you have denied the faith and His words and an infidel. We read in the book of chapter 31 and verse 10, who can find a virtuous woman for her price is far above rubies? The Bible teaches four fundamental stages in life.

[00:20:31] PEPERATION to receive Christ, PEPERATION FOR MINISTRY, PEPERATION FOR A LIFE PARTNER, and PEPERATION TO BRING A LIFE INTO THE WORLD. At every stage a man is the Seek Christ first for his Divine Council and guidance.

[00:20:50] A man is not to look for a wife before he is given his heart to Christ and not before he has understood his mission and calling in life in God's service.

[00:21:00] A man is also not to look for a wife until he is able to leave his father and mother and stand on his own to feed. He has to be able to prove that he can provide for himself and his own family.

[00:21:19] A man should also be careful about the wife that he chooses and should really wait for his mind to be pure before he chooses someone because like appreciates life. If a man's mind is in pure he will only be attracted to pure women.

[00:21:37] But if a man's mind is pure in Christ then he will only seek a wife and companion that will reflect and compliment his own. Now contrary to popular belief there is no such thing as an alpha and beta male as a Christian.

[00:21:54] These terms were almost solely in animal effology prior to the 1990s, particularly in regard to mating privileges with females, the ability to hold territory and hierarchy in terms of food consumption within the herd of flock.

[00:22:12] In 1982 book of chimpanzee politics, power and sex among apes, primatologist and a father just, Franz Liwal suggested that his observations of a chimpanzee quality could possibly be applied to human interactions.

[00:22:31] And so to all the men listening who have been hyped up thinking that they are an alpha male, listen you have been deceived. You have been given a name associated with the social and sexual behavior of animals, not to name that belongs to a Christian.

[00:22:50] And that comes from the study of the lower order of animal creature, not to study of the creator.

[00:22:56] This means Jesus was not alpha male and to all the women listening that crave alpha males, search your hearts as sin surely life at the door if that is a type of man that you're looking for. But again we are looking at womenhood next week.

[00:23:17] Masculinity is not about how many women a man can attract and have sex with or how many whip men that a man has on their control. It is rather the opposite. Masculinity is about a man's devotion and faithfulness to God.

[00:23:35] His strength to keep himself free of sexual impurity and his willingness to love, serve and protect his wife and family. Masculinity is not about the power to rule over others. Jesus is our example.

[00:23:53] So men when you have Christ light, Christ like I should say, and not animal like qualities, then you are ready to look for a wife and to have your own children. We read in the book of Matthew chapter 20 and verses 25 to 28.

[00:24:12] And this is Jesus speaking to his disciples, but Jesus called him unto him and said, you know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise the minion over them. And that day that our great exercise authority upon them, but it shall not be so among you.

[00:24:30] But who several will be greater among you? Let him be a minister. And who several will be key for among you? Let him be your servant.

[00:24:39] Even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many. So you see man what makes a man great is his willingness and his ability to serve others.

[00:24:56] Now then, how is a man to be a husband and to care for his wife? We read in the book of Ephesians chapter 5 and verses 25 to 33. Huzmonds, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.

[00:25:18] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

[00:25:36] So ought man to love their wives as their own bodies. He that love if his wife love if himself, for no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but novice if and cherish if it, even as the Lord the church.

[00:25:53] For we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones. For this cause, shall the man leave his father and mother, as shall be joined onto his wife, and they too shall be one flesh.

[00:26:09] This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless, that every one of you in particular, so love his wife, even as himself. And the wife sees that she reverence, or husband.

[00:26:28] Listeners, the Bible is clear about how a husband is to care for his wife. Quite simply as Christ loved and cared for, and gave his life for his church, to keep it pure, so as a man to care for his wife.

[00:26:45] Now this is the study and practice and school of a lifetime. One of which husbands, if they want to be true man, must be willing to learn daily at the foot of the cross. Huzbans often blame their wife for things, and often the problem lies within themselves.

[00:27:06] Man, even if your wife is doing something wrong, treat an agent me and be kind. And you all can't restore her in the right path.

[00:27:19] Even if you have to sacrifice your life to save your wife, did you not promise to devolve yourself to well-foody in your marriage fell? Now how is a man to help race children to the glory of God? We read in the book of Genesis chapter 17 and verse 5,

[00:27:39] Neither shall thy name anymore be called Abraham, but thy name shall be Abraham. For a father of many nations, shall thy name have I made thee? We read in the book of Genesis chapter 18 and verse 18 to 19. See in thy Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation,

[00:28:01] and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him. And they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment

[00:28:15] that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that we hear a spoken of him. Now Abraham is recorded in scripture as being a true man and father. Why? Because a true man and father commands his children to keep the way of the Lord.

[00:28:34] This he will do in love not reinforce. He has the family discipline, doing justice and judgment which means he will treat every single member of the family fairly and truly, for the love of God.

[00:28:51] And for all modern parents listening to our following the government and not the commandments of God, having your house insubjection does that times means of ministering the Lord to the rear end of unruly and disobedient children. We read in the book of Proverbs chapter 22 and verse 15,

[00:29:13] foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. We read in the book of Proverbs chapter 23 and verse 13 to 14, we've hold not correction from the child.

[00:29:30] For if thou beat his sin with the rod, he shall not die, thou shall beat him of the rod, shall deliver his soul from hell. We read in the book of Proverbs chapter 29 and verse 15, the rod and we prove give wisdom but the child left to himself,

[00:29:49] being of his mother to shame. Now here is what it means to be a man, not to brutalize the child to death but to ensure that when necessary, stripes are given.

[00:30:03] Not in anger but through the love of God to drive out the foolishness that the devil seeks to place in the seriously disobedient infant. Now if any parent of listening thinks that you are better than God, or no methods better than him, we'll be unto you.

[00:30:23] The lesson in the rod of correction and please listen carefully, in love listeners, not in anger, is one of the main evils that is called so much violence and crime in modern society. They do not know that Satanists and witches plan this. The Bible makes it plain.

[00:30:44] We read in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 15 and verse 23, for rebellion is that the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as a niquity and idolatry. Humanists and witches, many who now quads themselves feminists,

[00:31:02] lie on for the governments of the world to legislate that children cannot be smacked by parents. This is because listeners, they design for children to become rebels against the God of Heaven.

[00:31:14] For more solid information about this, watch the origin of the Aquarian Age by the late James Arabito. Parents, you will be lost if you have brought up a child's slackly and caused them to become a criminal, untie in this world. And so to round up this evening,

[00:31:35] let us see what Pastor Wilson Pearson had to say on the topic about manhood. It's a sad situation when you put more weight on a partner in a marriage or even in a dating situation, more weight that they can handle.

[00:31:52] You're going to say, I want somebody to complete me, who in the world can complete you. The Bible says you are already complete in Christ. The fact is that through daily communion with God, the likeness of the divine becomes a reality within the human soul.

[00:32:16] There is nothing for this life or for eternity that man cannot receive through spiritual union with Christ. We may be complete in Christ. So tonight I have another reason to recommend Jesus to you because any thing you need for now or for eternity,

[00:32:40] you can find by communion with Jesus Christ. I believe that the most unattractive person in the world is a person standing around waiting for somebody to complete you. I believe you put off radar. I believe that somebody 10 miles away could pick it up.

[00:33:18] And they know that somebody is sitting somewhere. I'm waiting for somebody to complete me. Ladies, if you want to run a man 10 miles away, just get that thought in your mind and it will form itself on your face. It will be in your body language.

[00:33:37] And when he comes near and you begin to move towards it, you'll be able to feel it. At one moment, somebody to complete her. And I am not the one. You know how they do. Hi. Are you doing? And if there's anything more tragic than that,

[00:34:01] it's a full grown man. You know, I've met somebody all big and masculine. And then look at you over there, tongue-back. I need somebody to complete me. Every woman on the face of the earth ought to turn and run. What she's looking for is somebody who's powerful.

[00:34:26] You know, since 9, 11 every woman now is looking for a man in uniform. They want to farm and they want a policeman. They want somebody in the national guard even. But somebody who wears a uniform and looks capable.

[00:34:39] So brother, if you have been doing this, you ought to try it. At least act like you're in charge of something. You know, hey, how you doing? Work like you're on a mission. Oh, stand around waiting for someone. Somebody complete me. You ought to demonstrate love constantly.

[00:35:01] Now gentlemen, this is a time when maybe we need to talk. Because I know that some of us think that if you bring home money and if you bring food and if you supply things that your wife ought to know that you love her.

[00:35:21] Well, it's something about the way women are wired. They like to kind of hear it even though it may seem obvious to you. So look, it really won't crack your jaw. It won't hurt your throat. It will not make your teeth look worse.

[00:35:39] You can actually squeeze it out. Remember before you got married, all that stuff you used to tell. You had songs that everybody knew, but you put a little twist on them. You had poems that you thought she had never heard before,

[00:35:56] and you pretended that they might have been yours. But you always had some little sweets up to say, now when you get married, all you got to do. Got to do better than that. The things you used to do when you were trying to win

[00:36:12] each other and impress each other. Come on, now I'm not going by the way, long I don't have time. But you remember, don't wait a minute honey. You in. Move out just a little bit. You remember that? No, hey, what's your name for?

[00:36:40] And since to come on, talk to me about that meal. Even when you had to go to your mom's place to get her to cook the thing when you brought it home, it was yours. And you had a little candle light, you know,

[00:36:59] and all kinds of stuff and you had little pieces, you know. You got to keep on doing that if you know the man likes a special kind of song. Cook it again. And can't I look like you're still looking when you got to it?

[00:37:19] Because if you make everyday special, the life you live together will be a joy. God intended husbands and wives to rejoice together. If you're walking around looking mad, you don't touch each other's hands anymore. You don't go anywhere with each other anymore.

[00:37:39] You don't find each other's company enticing. You have done something wrong. Here is what God said. In the days of old, you connected wells and sisters. Got to make sure you get it right. You connect it wells and sisters with home. But fountains and rivers were industry.

[00:38:08] What this text actually says, Are you a water scattered in the street? Are you drinking water that runs in the street? Why would you drink water and not know what's in it? Try my best to preach. Why would you drink polluted water?

[00:38:40] Why would you go in the street in some river that's flowing in a dirty street? Or something fountain that's public. Where everybody's been drinking. Who knows who drank their last? I'm trying to preach. I don't know what the all got it, but I'm preaching it.

[00:39:02] When you come home, you've got a well. It's covered. You can land down. You bucket. And you're all well. Pour it into your own sister. So you know where it came from. You know what's in it? You have tasted it before.

[00:39:19] You know it's not going to hurt you. It's only going to do you good. So while other folks are thirsty, It's amazing. Single people before they get married. I don't even want to get married. I'm not even interested. Yeah, but you thirsty. thirsty.

[00:39:57] In fact, sometimes you thirst drives you to do things that you'll never all have done. But here's what God says in Proverbs. He says, sister, you don't have to be thirsty anymore. I'm giving you your own well. And I'm giving you your own container, your sister.

[00:40:19] So your days of drinking in the street are over. You don't have to worry about being thirsty. All you need to do is get home. So if your thirst is just alone, all they're trying to hear me, I'm making an amazing parallel here.

[00:40:44] If you get thirsty in the street, don't let anybody offer your strange water. Because God is looking at your thirst and how you quench it. So sister, if God has given you a man, he may not look like he used to look. His hair may be gone.

[00:41:02] His hair may be gray. He may be bent over, but he your well. And he got bent over by going out, working to make your house home. He got that way by bringing home what you needed to real your children. And you ought to hold onto that man.

[00:41:25] Wrap his bald head and praise God for it. If that woman isn't exactly like she used to be, if you doesn't look quite in the same shape, remember that she got that way by bearing your children. By making your house a home.

[00:41:43] She got that way by taking care of you. She gave herself. She may have gone to work to make your house successful. So she's a little bit less lovely than Madison Habitat who thinks you know who she is.

[00:41:55] And I'm telling you when you get thirsty in the street, don't drink without death. Get home before you quench your thirst. Listen, it's... they're going to have a big son music and calm that with some clothes in force.

[00:42:55] And when the breeze begins to blow, I know God's spirit calls. And when my word we wander is just melt into this love, oh, I want to know you all. Deep within my soul I want to be.

[00:43:26] Oh, I want to know you to feel your heart and know your mind. Looking in the eyes, there's a fit in me. Price this, say I want to know. Oh, I want to know where. When my daily days, or in their willy, lose life and soul,

[00:44:06] my heart begins to be subjective, to be this home. I've run the race, but set my own peace and face, a shattered soul. Then the game to longs of Jesus whomever. So, I want to be home. Oh, I want to know you all.

[00:44:46] Deep within my soul I want to know you. Oh, I want to know you to feel your heart and know your mind. Looking in the eyes, there's a fit in me. Price this, say I want to know. Oh, I want to know you.

[00:45:11] And I would get my final death, to know you and your death as a lesson. I want to know you all. Oh, I want to know you. Price this, from you to me, and I would draw. Listerness, for closing thoughts this evening,

[00:46:15] here is what the spirit of God declares, or to man. And the woman should aspire to. And proves us by the common occurrences of life. It is the little things we feel the chapters of the heart. It is the little attentions, the numerous small incidents

[00:46:43] and simple cutties of life that make up the sum of life tapiness. And it is the neglect of kindly encouraging affectionate words and little cutties of life, which helps compose the sum of life's richness.

[00:47:04] It will be found that last, that the denial of self for the good and happiness of those around us constitutes a large share of the life record in heaven. Now that has to think about this for a moment.

[00:47:24] God tests and proves us by the common occurrences of life. So this is how the Lord is tested us by how we behave towards one another every day. Are we showing the little attentions? And are we showing simple cutties on to another?

[00:47:48] Especially men, are you showing this towards your wife and towards your children? And towards your family? Towards mother and father, sister and brother? The neighbours and friends? Here is how God is testing us. See?

[00:48:09] And these are the things listeners I pray that as we've initially looked at this subject tonight we have to really pray about and focus upon. So listeners, I pray now that we can hear what God says

[00:48:29] and men as we've looked at manhood tonight I pray that as the man we would humble ourselves and we will interlove and to serve, especially towards those who if we're married we've made a vow towards. There are now praytaclos.

[00:48:49] Heavenly Father, Lord I thank you for your word and Lord, the two greatest gifts that you've given to mankind are marriage and the Sabbath. Lord, there's so many marriages that, either have broken or that I'll strained.

[00:49:13] Lord, because we know that the enemy is trying his best to be destroyed a family unit. I pray, Lord, and we know that you have power through his store or things. And I pray especially tonight, first for those couples who have been faithful over the years,

[00:49:34] one towards another. Lord, I pray, and ask for your blessing to continue to be upon them, may those listening, may even renew their vows one towards another and vow to be even more loving and kind and true to each other.

[00:49:51] Lord, I may they continue to set a stern and example to society of what your grace can do in the hearts of believers. I pray for those who may be having struggles in their marriage, Lord that, together, that they would go on their knees,

[00:50:08] Lord, and that they would look to each other and to see where they've gone wrong and how for your grace, Lord, that they can restore bonds of love together. I pray that they can put the past behind them, and that they can go for the fresh.

[00:50:24] We knew then your love and power, because this the purpose of the gospel to restore the family unit. And I pray, Lord, for those whose marriages may have failed and who may be blaming themselves even today for the wrong things that they've done.

[00:50:40] Lord, you're in the heavenly sanctuary now, your day to give us power to restore us from evil and to cleanse and to make us happy. And Lord, for your all things are possible,

[00:50:52] and I just pray, Lord, that whatever situation a man is in or woman's in at this time, but tonight we're focusing especially upon the men, Lord, because we will cover the whole family at the end, we pray.

[00:51:08] In part four, I do pray, Lord, that the men would step up in their lives and that Lord that they would treat each day like it's their last and that they would be gentle and loving and that they will serve.

[00:51:22] So, Lord, we look to you, the author and finish of our faith, the eternal God who has eternal love and power. There are not allowed the devil to destroy us or discover just by let us always find happiness in you, is my prayer
