Introduction to Spiritual Marriage

Welcome to Moses Mukisa podcast. Moses Mukisa is the lead pastor of the Worship Harvest movement, overseeing more than 100 churches and still counting. Worship Harvest Ministries is a movement of the gospel. discipleship and mission that plants life-giving, disciple-making and community-renewing churches that catalyze spiritual, social and economic renewal in our immediate communities and as a result, the world. And now, here is the word.

Marriage: A Spiritual Foundation

What's the vision behind this evening? The vision behind this evening is they are welcoming their heroine. Wow. What's going on there? the vision behind this people are still receiving their long-standing is that marriage is spiritual And sometimes when we try to conduct it with natural means, it doesn't go well. When we bring our earthly, worldly thinking, Pastor B3 was teaching us about how our thoughts, his thoughts are higher than our thoughts. And when you choose cohabitation.

You've chosen the way of the world, which is a very low way of doing life. And so, I believe, by the way, this is the last of the, this is our 10th. Special service. Since we started. Yeah, in a row. So this is the last one. After this, implementation. You go and implement what you learned. In the anointing services. But the thing is that you need the Holy Spirit. You need the Spirit of God to be successfully and happily married. Are we together?

Even those who are not married and you're wondering, when is it starting? Sometimes it is a spiritual problem you're dealing with. Or some wisdom you didn't have at some point. And that's what may have caused the delay. But the good news is that the life of Jesus was spiritual, even though he was not married. But the idea is... Everything about us is spiritual. And you have to learn to treat things at that level. That's what it means to be called a spiritual person.

The Spirit Gives Life

A spiritual person is not just someone who has been saved a long time. No, it is a person who evaluates things from a spiritual perspective. Am I making sense? Jesus was having a conversation with Nicodemus and he told him, you must be born again. Okay. You must be.

born again and Nicodemus said what does that mean should I should should I get back into my mother's womb and be reborn and said no so he gave him a very interesting analogy which by the way i never understood until this weekend yeah it was when i was preaching about it on friday that i it clock so Don't fear to preach. Some things you learn as you're preaching. And that's the verse I like to quote a lot in King James. The wind bloweth, whither it listeth.

and thou hearest the sound thereof but canst tell whence it cometh and wither it goeth so is everyone that is born of the spirit now let's simplify it for those who are not yet married the wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes so is everyone who's born

of the spirit. The Bible says that the body without the spirit is dead. That's a shocking factor. And what Jesus was telling Nicodemus is that the life of god in us is like the breath of god in us okay the same way when wind is blowing You see trees shaking, things flying, but you can't really tell what it is. You only can tell from the effect of the wind.

that there is wind if wind blew and the trees were completely still the rubbish is not flying through a compound you would never tell that the wind is blowing and he said that's the same thing as being born again or someone who is born of the spirit it's the effect of the wind And the revelation that God showed me was the body without the spirit is dead. Now, if you're not born again, you can do that tonight. But I'm saying this in relation to marriage.

And what the Lord showed me was that what makes a person alive is the spirit. You see, I'm able to stand by myself without needing support. Because there is a spirit in me. If you remove that spirit, I will just fall down and lie down like a log. What keeps me standing? is the spirit. Now there may be medical ways of explaining it, but I'm talking about the real life way of explaining it. Now I'm going to tell you something that's going to blow your mind.

Effortless Marriage Through Spirit

Sometimes when people die, they remove their organs. When their organs are good. And they preserve them to... give or donate or sell them to other people who may need those organs one day. Am I making sense? Now, the man's, what are some of the organs they preserve? Hearts. Corners, kidneys. Now let's stick with kidneys. The man's kidneys are so alive. I want to prove to you that a person being dead is not the body dying. It's not the organs.

That's why they can remove kidneys from a dead body and preserve them and put them in another person and they work. But this person, whose kidneys still work... Is dead. Because the spirit. Has left. And you can find that a man. Who is still alive has dead kidneys that are not working. He's on dialysis. But he's not dead. Why? Even though his organs are dead, as long as the spirit is in him, he's alive.

and someone with living organs that work is dead because the spirit is not in him that's the life of the spirit what keeps you alive the reason you can just get up and walk you know they've been trying all these robots now just for you to walk without falling is a miracle because it's they are trying to use why do you you just walk around

No problem. Why? That's spirit. Because spiritual things are superior to natural things. That's why you can walk around. No one needs to prop you up. Even if someone tries to push you, you'll self-correct. You regain your balance immediately. Because the spirit is in you. That's why it says the wind blows just like the spirit. In you is like the wind. And we see the effects of you moving around, smiling, high-fiving. Even you? Okay. Merci.

high-fiving conversating because the spirit is in you and the day that spirit remove goes It doesn't matter how good your eyes are, how good your organs are, how good your legs are, how tough, even if you've been going to the gym and you have nice tough muscles. That moment the spirit goes, that's it. End of story. Decay is the next thing. Have you understood something? So what makes a human being alive is the spirit, not the flow of the blood, not the heartbeat.

that's why they can remove a hat and give it to someone else and it starts beating someone who still has the spirit they put it there you know it's jammed then there it starts working because they have a spirit First sit down. Now, that's the same thing with your marriage. You can nurse it this way, try that, what, what, what, but without the spirit.

Inviting the Holy Spirit's Power

it just keeps lying down and saying i'm done i'm done with you hey now what do we do We need to invite the Holy Spirit into our marriage and everything. I remember. I was watching the service of First Love Church when Pastor Benny Hinn visited them. I think it was the second time he was going there. So, Pastor Bishop Joshua, who is Bishop Doug's son. who is the pastor of the church, was saying, by the way, Pastor Benin, when you came here and you prayed that we would get property.

Each one that you prayed would get, we got it. And the only piece of land we have failed to buy is one you didn't pray for. The only one we have failed to buy is the one you didn't pray for. So spiritual things are real. But we think they are just for church, clapping, what? Then you go back and start. nursing, toiling, making it work. It does not work like that. The body without the spirit is dead.

The business without the spirit is dead. The marriage without the spirit is dead. The church without the spirit is dead. By the way, if you want your church to grow, just make room for the Holy Spirit. That's all. You just say, Holy Spirit, this is your church, this is your segment. Do what you want. Yeah. Otherwise, you can program him out quite smoothly. And he will sit there and watch you try to grow your church.

saying, when you invite me, I will come and help. That's for pastors. For couples. You can invite the Holy Spirit into your, it's a real thing. Don't look at it like how? You'll be like Nicodemus. How do I get born again? How do I enter my mother's womb again when I'm old? And how does that work? He was doing analysis of spiritual things. So Jesus told him, Nico. I've told you earthly things. Give me that caverse. I've told you earthly things and you are not clicking. Okay.

That's really quite a version. I wish they would give me. Yes, there it is, verse 12. If I have told you earthly things like being born again, and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? Like Jesus' problem the whole time with Nicodemus, his disciples, and all of us here is how to insert the heavenly reality into our earthly experiences. He's like, even if I told you how marriage is, how it would work at a spiritual level, it's difficult.

If you can't believe things where you have earthly metaphors and pictures, if I start telling you heavenly things, that's why Paul, when he went to the third heaven, he came back and said, he wasn't allowed to say what he saw.

Because if he had said it, he would have confused a lot of people. There is simply no language for it. That's why you find people praying in tongues. Because something is beyond... human expression together i might start concluding soon so i want you to know that everything about our lives is spiritual including marriage raising children. Many times when it comes to raising children, we tell God, keep off. I'm going to do this. I need to do this. You know nothing about raising children.

Spiritual Parenting and The Word

Look, there is a spiritual way to raise children. And it's not what you think it is. you think the way to raise children is to take them to the best days take them to the best that the best that go with them everywhere You realize that even you who turned out a little bit fairly. You were in boarding school the whole time. They used to see you only in December. If they saw you. But you are here.

bring in the holy spirit and the word of god because the spirit of god is the word of god everything the holy spirit represents is what the word of god is the word of god is christ but christ is not does not do anything that is separate from from the word rather the holy spirit doesn't do anything that christ is not doing are we together okay maybe let me open a scripture because people will be like he stood there

Effortless Marriage: A Testimony

but have you are you convinced yeah so for us when we got married we tried out the natural way i can tell you Even though you're born again, it doesn't work. Yeah. Because we are born again. Until we let the spirit in. Through the word of God which we learnt in discipleship evangelism course. And then suddenly marriage came to life effortlessly. From that day up to today, I was telling the people in Mbarara, I'm not very good with advising people on how to do a marriage.

Even this someone here. I don't know. because i find that i do not put any effort into my marriage which is the shocking thing and then it works so it doesn't it's almost contradictory zero honestly you ask her i don't put an effort oh i forgot to have to weekly that what send a text call hey no but It's as if I'm doing a good job. Yes. You'll find that somehow.

let me show you something are you seeing my nice shirt are you seeing the sleeve of the shirt where is the sleeve where is it where is it where is it is it moving around is it doing circles now how much effort is the shirt putting into its movements. He has a shirt. It can go up. It can go down. It can do circles. Oh, you understand? Meanwhile, the shirt is actually wavy, but it's not the shirt. There is another living thing underneath the shirt.

That's making the shirt do things that living things. No. Your flesh is not living. That's why the body without the spirit is dead. It's not the body without the lungs. It's not the body without the heart. It's not the body without the liver. It's the body without the spirit. So don't think it is your weekly date that activates your marriage. No, I'm not saying don't do a weekly date. As a result of the life...

of the spirit, you'll find that a weekly date will be nice. Others, you'll go on a weekly date to be annoyed. Fault finding. hmm i don't know if you understand that's why i told you sometimes i feel like i'm not very good with counseling people on even money marriage parenting yes because i find that My things, when I hear what people want to do, I'll be like, ah, just stay in your lane because it looks like your things are not conventional.

The Spirit Activates Marriage

Imagine your marriage is this shirt. Do you know what your marriage needs? Your spirit. because without the spirit it's dead yeah when we see you doing well what we'll try and attribute it to all those guys oh you know like the okulose the husband opens that door for the wife Now, you tell yourself, I'm going to do it. Then you'll remember once. Then tomorrow you'll forget. Then you'll be like... It now becomes another point of quarrel. You forgot to open that door.

when you open they're telling are you controlling how you think i don't know how to open so i'm going to share with you through two or three things one i'm going to share with you something extremely spiritual about marriage. And then I'm going to share with you real heavenly wisdom concerning your marriage.

And then we may talk something practical. So, like I'm starting on spiritual, then I'll come to soul. And then maybe, who knows. So let me start with something extremely... spiritual from Ephesians, which verses, you know, Ephesians 5.22.

Wives: Submission As To The Lord

are we there wives let's go submit your own husbands as to the lord for the husband is the head hey you don't like this part now when we started Go back. Go back. Wives, I want to hear you shouting loudly. Wives, submit to your own. As to who? As to who? As to who? Now, if you are sitting next to your husband, say, my Lord. Ah, you say it. Who is that one refusing? Don't play with it. Don't say lody lody. Say it nicely with a romantic smile.

i'm willing to submit say i submit to you it gives me great pleasure hey Lipata Lipata Lipata verse 23 for the husband is the neck Of the wife. Is the foot of the wife. Is the elbow of the wife. Is the what? Head. As also Christ is the. head of the church and is the savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, you see how we call Christ our Lord, our savior.

our healer our provider our redeemer that that's that's you to your husband so let the wife be to their own husbands in everything then then you go and get a a a non-believer meanwhile you cannot

Submission and Unbelieving Spouses

Okay, I found the truth that I asked to Christ. So now that they are non-believers, I refuse to submit. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. It doesn't say submit to your Christian husband. It simply says... so wabawafuna the son of the devil is your just become at least you can get a minister out of it you become an intercessor You will know the Lord deeply through that experience. People wake up to pray at 5, you start at 3. Why? You have a husband who is not born again.

You'll be there. Before you know it, you have the healing ministry everywhere. People are getting born again. Then they'll be asking you, how did you start out in ministry? I had a husband who was not born again. He drove me into the prayer room. Mercy. I know some people are not finding it funny at all. And I understand. Because in spite of our oft.

preachings corrections and what you you still decided we are old-fashioned you went with that guy you met somewhere yeah you said the lord told you the lord told you something called right raise one now sometimes we preach like this one time i was in one of the location and i was preaching against cohabitation and the lady got up And said, Apostle. But she was distraught. And how unfair we are in how we address these things as if we are not sensitive to their situations.

those ones who already broke the word of god yeah so i told her look you already made your mistake there are many young people here who I don't want them to make your mistake. So I'm not going to tone it down for you because you made the mistake already. We will comfort you pastorally. privately but for these people here who haven't yet chosen an unbelieving husband I'm going to teach them the truth to say the moment you say I do

It is as unto the Lord. And when your guy is not into the Lord, you have a head over you who has no head over them. Or rather the head over there means some other creature with horns. Then get rid of a wild ride. Wild. Yeah. You, you're going to pray. When people come for anointing service, the Lord is giving new terms. You're like, I go to those ones long ago. In the prayer.

Choosing Wisely: Marriage or Singleness

you'll be playing like a greater understanding it is better to not be married than to marry the wrong person who wasn't married It was better. Yeah, it's better to not be married. Don't think that. When you go to heaven, one of the requirements will not be whether you were married. And there's no marriage in heaven. So don't squeeze all your faith you've learned since childhood and focus it on to getting a spouse.

Rather seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you. And even if they are not, you'll be joyful. Happy, impactful. Yeah, there are many people who are not married who have had a great impact on the world, including people like Condoleezza Rice. Yeah, she was the Secretary of State for the U.S.

God's Word: Supernatural Power

She wasn't married. She was single all her life. Sit down. my little bliss i'm still in the spiritual section Now, let me get to the point. I'm still on the point of the body without the spirit is dead. yeah and the spirit is the one that gives life now the word the words i speak today are spirit and they are life Jesus is in the temple on the Sabbath day as it was his custom. The Bible says it was his custom to go to church. If you don't go to church every week, you are not in Jesus' custom.

And then he saw a man with a withered hand. And then he told the man, stretch forth your hand. Okay? And what did the man do? And then there was an argument as to whether people should be healed on the Sabbath. Now, how much effort did the man put into stretching the hand. Just about how much of it. How much of his energy was required to actually get that hand from the withered position to become a whole hand.

answer me we are in church i'm teaching you are answering don't be like that those classes where the teacher would ask and no one knows the answer how much effort zero Do we agree? The man did not need any of his natural effort. To move his hand from whatever, like this. Okay. Pool of Bethesda. Jesus is walking. Many important folk.

lying by, waiting for the water to be stirred so that whoever goes in first gets healed. Jesus identifies one fellow and says, pick up your bed and walk. He has been there 46 years. 38. 38. Why do I keep adding? Yes, they were 38. This side, they were 38. That way, 38. I'm told one president of a certain country... went to a certain part of the country, and then he said, the people of Ankole are cattle. Then on his way,

In his helicopter back to Kampala, he said, your excellence, you forgot to add keepers. He said, let's fly back. No, he was flying over the city shouting, keep us, keep us. That's not a true story. Let's continue. Because Abbas says all his stories are true. Bull of Bethesda. pick up your bed and walk 38 years and they picked up his bed put it on his head and started walking around and it was the sabbath and he walked the whole day until the Pharisees found him and said

Who allowed you to carry your bed on the side? I said, look, the man who told me, the man who healed me is the one who told me to carry my bed. And thus far, I've not yet run into him to give me another instruction. So I'm operating with the last instruction I received, which is how you should be if you are an obedient person. So actually he found Jesus later. Who I think told him to put it down. Now. How much effort.

went into the man's carrying his bed. How much natural effort? I'm throwing you into the deep end. I hope you have floaters. Or you can swim. Otherwise, get ready to drink water. Lazarus, four days. Jesus stands at that tomb opening. Lazarus come forth. How much effort did Lazarus need to put in? How much faith did Lazarus need? to come out of the tomb now of course you're saying a promo that was jesus okay

Paul is preaching in Lystra, Acts chapter 14. And there's a man born crippled. And he says, he sees that he has faithfully. He says, you stand up. And he stood up and walked. How much natural effort. What made all those scenarios come to life? It was the word of God. which is powered by the Spirit of God, the Word and the Spirit. Stay with me. Now, look away from your phone now because I'm about to say something crazy.

Love: A Promise, Not Just a Command

So when he says husbands love your wives, all wives submit your own husband. How different is that from stand up and walk? How different is that from Lazarus come forth? How different is that from stretch out your hand? I think an altar call is appropriate. You see that, but people always say, If they gave me the key, I would be singing the right key. Are you sure? Are you sure?

All of us, our problem is we don't believe the power in the word of God. You think when he says, husband, love your wife, he's giving you work to do. When he told the man, pick up your bed, was he giving him work to do? When he called Lazarus out of the tomb, was he giving him work to do? Now Lazarus, work on your resurrection. I've commanded you. It's an instruction.

You see, the Bible is a good book because it caters for every level of faith. There are those who look at husbands, love your wives. as a big, hectic work to do, and they keep thinking, I need a planning committee to do this, loving your wife. There are those who look at husbands, love your wives, and they see it as an instruction, and they are willing.

and obedient. They want to actually do what they think the Lord is telling them. And that's correct. But that's because that's where your faith is. But I don't receive it as an instruction. I receive it as a promise. when he says husbands love your wives i just i start dancing around adding myself more tea and looking for cookies too because i'm like Finally, God has said something to me that's going to make this marriage super amazing because as for me...

I cannot, I don't have what it takes to love my wife. But once the word of the Lord comes forth, my wife has a problem. Because she's going to be laughed. Like the other man carrying his bed. Why are you carrying your bed on the Sabbath? The man who... To love my wife has not changed his mind. I'm still operating under the power of that word. It's a love of faith.

Submission: A Supernatural Flow

you can operate at yeah if you understand what i'm telling you you will never struggle to submit your husband it will never be something that you receive us okay You have been told to submit. Now let's work on it. No. How much work on it did Lazarus have to do? The man in Leicester, how much work on it did he have to do?

Peter and John, they find the man of the beautiful game. And he says, I need man. He says, silver and gold, I have none, but what I have I give to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Rise up and walk. Look how much of his effort went into. Then he leaping up. He entered the temple with them dancing rejoicing. Praising God. How much of is it for 20? You see, it's because we are accustomed to not obeying the word of the Lord. We don't even know the power in it.

That when the Lord tells me, love this woman, I don't even say, do you know what a problem she is or can be? I just be like, what? Because now I know that. At his word, I will never, ever, ever struggle to love her. That's why I told you, my counseling is sometimes not helpful.

Grace vs. Legalism in Marriage

What do you practically do? I say, what do you mean practically do? I heard the Lord. That's all. I heard the Lord. Hey, your people, I told you, we were starting in a very deep way. So all this time when they say husband, love your wife, you see what? You're like a legalist. You're like as if you're reading the Ten Commandments. Thou shalt, thou shalt not.

Knowing well you don't have the power to obey them. Because the law was given to whoever it was given that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world should stand guilty before God. The letter kills bad. the spirit gives life so the words of jesus the words that are written in the bible when you receive it Not as an instruction. As a promise. Can God ever tell you to do something and he's not the one going to do it?

That's Old Testament. Old Testament is where he tells you that you have to do it in your own effort. From when Jesus came, everything God tells you to do, you are like this slave. When I want the sleeve up, does it take itself up? Now, let me tell you what's going on right now. You need... faith to believe what i'm telling you because right now your mind is questioning the velocity of the possibility of what i'm talking about

Because you are not receiving it by faith. You are still thinking about the part you must do. to love your wife why did you get born again did we just say words you cross from darkness to light that's how you have a spiritual marriage There are practical things that come with it, but those practical things, they will never work without the Spirit.

Faith for Effortless Love & Submission

yeah you'll find that you're putting in so fast the people at the bargain you put so much effort and get little like people don't believe in supernatural finances you see they work so hard People ask them when you ask them whether how much you make they tell you want to fall down Why don't you just volunteer at church? You might earn more

Yeah, you're like, you work a full job, that's all. Then you find out they are not into tithing, all these things, they think we are useless. So, so much work, very little return. Likewise, you can work on your marriage a lot and have very little return because you don't have a word spoken to you from God.

Are you understanding? So when you read Husbands Who Love Your Wives, don't read it as something you're going to do. Or let me see yourself as... a one full of love that's oozing it needs to be managed yeah it needs to be managed oh that people would believe me because i can see that you you are so used to mechanical things They say, just switch on and press C and it will move by itself. You'll be like, is this witchcraft? You mean I just sit like this and it moves? Yes.

You had better believe it. Others, you'll be looking for pedals on a motorbike to sort her. Huh? Where do I sort her? They said, no, just sit and press here and it will go. You'll be like, eh? If an engine in a thing can carry you while you're seated, you really don't believe. now that word has power in it to help you like this you know what and roman used to say when you believe the grace of god you live holy by accident than you ever did try

If you believe what I'm telling you now, you're going to love your wife by accident more than you ever did trying. Yeah. You will submit your husband by accident more than you ever did trying. Because every time you read the word submit, like red comes in your eyes. And smoke starts coming out of your nostrils. And steam out of your ears. Friends.

Spiritual Discernment & Self-Perception

Consider the things I'm telling you. You see, the Bible says, the natural man cannot receive the things of God, of the Spirit, because they are what? They are spiritually discerned. You see, your peanut brain trying to understand husbands, love your wives. Yeah. Yeah. but if you receive it at spiritual level and you start confessing when they say mr levy

So don't see yourself as a husband who struggles to love your wife. See yourself as... My wife has to tell me to stop the gifts. To stop the money. To stop... My wife lends me a lot of money, so sometimes when I'm working, I don't want to... Nowadays, I have the gift of a banjo. loan loan payments but I think I'm gonna clean sledge now see yourself super submissive wife. See yourself in power steering mode. Like when the husband says, honey, you just go like...

Soft, flowing, flexible, jelly. Those are the worshippers' wives, they are like... When I say power steering, do you understand? There are those old lorries which used to have very wide steering wheels. Then he has to press many things there. You can't have such a wife. Are you mechanical? Nowadays, there's power steering. Even the steering wheel goes by itself. That's you. That's why you see her. Don't you like that version of yourself? You are not into arguments.

There is power here. Where is the power? Some people, they are not clicking us. She's a power steering wife, that one. She's your baby, Bama Gambia. Okay husbands, you can do it now.

Reckon Yourself: Loving and Submissive

Do it now by faith! wait to feel it that's what I'm talking about see yourself as see yourself as a flowing husband with nice words No, don't call the person mommy, are we? It's a mommy. It's gonna be a baby, baby. Hello, baby. Oh, God. Sit down. Sit down. I feel like you're being more blessed than what you do. The power... of the word is in the words when he tells you love your wife just rejoice because i oh my goodness now that i have the wind

of loving my wife behind me. It's just going to flow, flow, flow. By the way, that's how people here at the front here. That's how their marriages are. Because I know them. They are not into... No. Don't make life hard. That's why I advise people, by the way, one of the rules in your house should be no quarrelling. No quarrel, no strife, even teach the children not to quarrel in your home. Don't quarrel from here.

Because you see, quarreling involves words coming out of your mouth, which are salty words, salty water, bitter water coming out, flowing in the house. place of blessing. Hugs. Blessing. Have a good day. I love you. Those should be the words that are common around your house. Welcome back. I love you. Have a good day.

you're amazing you're blessed you're the best you're incredible not you are you talking to the devil or what There are many other things I could tell you, but this is the most important one.

Confessing Faith for Marital Blessings

Consider, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin. In Romans, that's Romans what? 6. 6, 11. Record. Consider yourself to be dead indeed to sin. When you consider it, even if you try to activate it today, today I want to sin. Nothing, it doesn't work. The resources to activate your sin life are dead. Because what? You have reckoned, you have considered, reckoned yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ.

I say unto thee, reckon yourself to be a loving husband and a submissive wife. When you look in the mirror, he says, look at your submissive wife. No wonder your husband loves you too much. Your levels of submission... They have elicited. Just look at your loving husband. No wonder your wife is so submitted to you. Look. Let me even make it more powerful. I've given you the power of it that you are in charge of. Let me make it more powerful. I don't, when I see her, I see a submissive wife.

Because his wife is submissive. If she's a Christian, of course she's submitted. When I say, I don't say anything of... to me she's a submissive wife that's it it's settled I reckon myself to be a loving husband. I reckon her to be a subversive wife. Now let's live life. We are ready to operate under the word. The spirit gives it life. But when you're quarreling with your wife, do you know you're saying the opposite of what? And then you can't say, I believe. You don't believe.

when you're calling with your husband you don't give me this you know you don't believe that he's a loving husband this is the victory that has overcome the world even our faith so now you are practicing your faith with the words coming out of your mouth And you see that you're going to reap that. Even if you try to guilt trip him, he will buy you one or two shoes and then he will go back to the thing that you said he is.

also i told you my marriage counseling doesn't work because it's so unrealistic okay my marriage counseling works All together. Work on yourself. Ladies, those who are not married, don't look at yourself in a mirror and say, No, just be like... All the boys, they are trying to talk to me. I'm magnetic. irresistible break on yourself because otherwise you'll be there thinking around and I mean even the other girl got married before me

What spirit are you carrying? 1A How did I end up in the Philippines? Ephesians is behind so please When he says, submit your own husband as to the Lord, just be like, the word has come. I'm submitted as unto the Lord. Love your wives as Christ loves the church. Just say that's me. Amen. Now let me appeal to your mind and your soul a little bit.

Up-In-Out: Love as Christ Loves

still from verse 25 especially husbands love your wives just as christ also loved the church and gave himself for how can i have my flip chart and the person who is capable of writing in the legible good way please so you can remove you're taking too long my brother you're taking too long Okay, go up. Draw the triangle. Oh, we have a problem. Like the up in out. Large, large triangle. Okay. Let me help you. TD.

You know the up-in-out triangle? So right the up-in-out inside. Inside. It's too small. The people at the back. Now, this is how we live life here at Worship the Best. From the life of Jesus in Luke chapter 6, he went up the mountain, spent the whole night in prayer to God. He came down, invited his disciples, and from them he chose 12.

whom he appointed apostles and invited them into a deeper relationship. And then they went out, or he went down the mountain and ministered to the crowds. Are we together? So, husbands love.

Grace: The Foundation of Love

Your wives, what's verse 1? 25. As Christ loved the church and gave himself for her, that he might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by... By the word. That he might present her to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives.

as their own bodies he who loves his wife loves himself for no one ever hated his own flesh but nourishes and cherishes it just as the lord does the church for we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones that's verse 30 take note of it for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined his wife and that we shall become one flesh this is a great mystery but i speak concerning christ and the

church. Now, here is a revelation. One, he says, husbands, love your wives the way Christ loves the church, which is by what? A grace of God. Thus he says that he might that he might sanctify and cleanse her. Who is doing the work? Christ. How much of the church's sanctification is the result of the church's effort? Oh, you know yourselves. Yeah. Every, any little good thing you have ever done, because Christ is doing it in you, left yourself. Mercy.

Terrible. So that he might... You see, it's Christ doing the work. If you go to verse 25, it says, Husbands, love your wives the way Christ, just as Christ also loved it and gave himself. Now... What happens to a husband who is legalistic? A husband who thinks that Jesus beats the church to teach it a lesson. He will beat the wife to teach her a lesson. Yes, just suspect. You see, our marriage was terrible until we understood grace. Yeah.

This one I'm showing you, it's our marriage. Maybe yours is different. I'm telling you ours. We were Christians. we're born again and the only reason we couldn't murder each other we didn't we realize in the bible we are not allowed the bible does not and also we feared the law and other such things Plus, we didn't have the resources. I think we fear blood. Yeah. That's us, Christians, committed in the ministry.

but we couldn't sustain a marriage why we did not understand the grace of god we didn't know how much we are being loved it's It's nearly impossible to love a human being well if that love is not coming from a supernatural source. Yeah. There will always be something you don't like about them.

until you receive it and realize that you also have been loved in spite of yourself yeah that's how you're able to extend it when you realize how that you are a bad girl and a bad boy who jesus has just loved you look at the other one and say look Let's do life. Otherwise, you want to stress the person. You'll give them allegory hair. With demands.

No supply, just demand. So that's the up. That's the grace. Right up on the other side, grace. Yes, you can even use another color, by the way. You have got another color.

Practice Grace: Finding No Fault

So the first thing at a practical level, I already told you at the spiritual faith level what you need to do. Believe the word. But once you believe it, the first thing at a practical level is to practice grace. You can even give yourself a season and say... the next seven days, Sunday to Saturday, I am not going to find even one fault in this person. I'll just be like, wow, you're so accurate.

I didn't know you had such great hand coordination. This is the thing that Gloria Copeland did to her husband. kenneth copeland he was a cantankerous man and every time he would be banging things in the kitchen what she would just come behind her him put her hands on his shoulders and said, Kenneth, I find no fault in you. She softened him.

Now, he can't talk about her without crying. If you see, he's starting to talk about Gloria Copeland. Just get ready for tears. He cannot. And I've been married now 65 years. He cannot talk about her without crying. That one I knew. Glory. The soft tongue breaketh the bone. If you bring bone on bone, you have to... I find no fault in you. I find no fault in you. I find no fault in you. These guys, I love them. Stop tying yourself in things you don't understand. Okay.

You too. Keep going. Yeah. So when we were there... being religious and annoyed at each other and hurting each other then we did discipleship evangelism course that's why i'm telling you the power of the word we did not do anything We didn't start DE because we wanted to heal our marriage. No, we needed something to do in the middle of the week as a young church. We needed a Bible study, a midweek something. Little did we know.

That's why you see, when I say people are trying, I'm saying, look, stop trying. The body without the spirit is dead. What you need is... something supernatural and that person that you have been struggling with you will love them until you feel it in here like this

Supernatural Life: Abraham's Example

Supernaturally. Look, let me tell you how supernatural things work. Abraham, in Romans 4, he says, being 100 years old, his body was dead. He has been promised a child since 75. 25 years later his body is dead sarah's womb is dead she's 90. and god kept promising finally the last time when god came looking like three men he said by this time next year according to the time of life and he had a child he was 100 years was it 37 years later Or 25 years later. 25. When he was 125. Sarah died.

This is one who was at 100 was dead. The body was dead at 100. Now he's 125. Sarah has died. He got another wife called Keturah. The Spirit gives life. It was one breath like this from God into Abraham's productive system. He couldn't switch it off. You people think I'm saying it's not there. Abraham again took her wife and her name was Keturah. Genesis 25.1. Next. Keep going. Midian, Ishba, Shua. Six children. Six children from one day. They were not six tuplets. They came one at a time.

so assuming it was two two years that means he banned children until 1 37. Verse 3, verse 3. The Spirit gives life. Verse 3. Verse 4. And the sons of Midian. Verse 5. He gave order 6. To the sons of the concubines. Now out of the six thousand there were even others. natural capped kaput at 100 god said 125, 126, 130, 137. The guy is just having to... Now, because I think the breath was too much, he said, allow me. I need an outlet for this. New life. Post power.

Have you ever seen that? He gave gifts to the sons of the concubines. This is not one. Because what point am I at? I'm trying to say, when the supernatural kicks in, there's no need for upgrades. new downloads, nothing. So your marriage that you're working on in natural means, you have to keep doing the work. Yeah. But when does supernatural fix it?

You just take your hands off just here. Step back and see. I'm not advocating laziness and not taking good care of your wife or your husband. I'm just trying to show you. That truly, if we are believers, there should be something that separates us from those who do not have the spirit. Yeah. There should be a supernatural, inexplicable thing about us and our marriages and our businesses and our children and our parenting and our homes.

Believe and Maintain Supernatural Love

And do you know what? You have to believe. Believe. Just believe. This is me now. I'm happy in my marriage. They try to provoke you. I'm not into those things. Would you like tea? Hot water? What can I bring you? Should I leave the tea bag in? When you believe these things, even if your spouse is not at the same frequency and she goes back to the old, you just maintain. You treat them supremely.

It's going to happen. Where were we? Ephesians. So husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church. Are we together? Now. Verse 30. I read the whole text, so don't expect me to reread all of it. We have to go. After all, it's my little bliss. For we are members of his body, of his flesh.

and of his body we are members now he talks about christ loving the church which is his body and this is a husband loves the wife the same way he loves his body and as we are members now you have to design the body design the body the first practical thing about your marriage receive the grace absolutely the younger coca receive waburu in small letters then grace every capital receive the grace like uh-huh receive that grace yeah two in

Discern the Body: Marriage in Community

discern the body. Body is capital. D is capital then discern is small. Discern the body. You see that? The second thing that we did after receiving the grace of God, we went for fireplace. It was read by the answer book those days. We would just go. Oh, by the way, let's clap for them. They are the ones who even came up with the word fireplace. If you are enjoying fireplace, these are the originators of fireplace. Yes, discern the body.

Let's sit down. We are members of this body. Your marriage wasn't designed to work in isolation. The things we are talking about, things that you learn from other people. You're being there in the corner. Oh, this is private. Don't tell anyone about it. Design the body. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have used that word. Scratch. Don't say I abused you. It's abusing us. We are not going to listen to this message.

Go for fireplace. Have groups of friends that you're accountable to, where you meet and talk, and even enjoy. Because, you see, even if your marriage is doing well... It's not really good when you are by yourselves. Even at one night we go out and eat together and the people are making noise. One of us, you know who it is, is always quarreling with the waitresses.

We are having a good time. I feel like we have a better time when we are causing cavio together, many of us, than you are there trying to forge kebi with your person.

Community Benefits & Scheduling Intimacy

Design the body. Your marriage was designed to work in community. In community. Look, this text is about marriage. Why do you think it talks about we are members of his body? We are members of his body. Yeah, you are just apart. Your marriage is not in isolation. Your marriage is a small part of the body where there are other marriages to sharpen you. So when we started going to the fireplace, we found that...

The things we have been quarreling about, other people laughing about them. Oh, you'll be surprised. You go for a place. You learn to take life easy. You see, you're stressed about things that people laugh about. That's your problem. Let's tell you our story. You see, something like he told you, we told them.

If the system is not working, schedule it. Yeah, because, you see, when you have a flight, don't you put an alarm. It's that important, you don't want to miss it. It doesn't follow feelings of her. do i feel like going to the airport or not no you wake up and go that's how you don't miss your flight so there is another kind of flight you shouldn't miss if you are if your system is Float. if your system is not working once you agree there is no headache what knee ache i don't know what nothing

Yeah, you just see that guy warming up like this. Hey, oh Okay, it's that day The tip was that I think I got to say a couple point young okay how do you teach certain things in church but you are understanding

Men and Community: Don't Isolate

if you find that things are so unpredictable they've reached a very uncontrollable stage so let's create a yeah You see, even when you don't schedule your prayer time, you're going to become unspiritual. Yeah. If you always only pray when you feel like it. Before you know it, you're talking to a demon, it's talking back at you. You're like, when did we reach this point? Because it didn't scare you your prayer time.

So if you are not at a stage where, you know, there are people who they wake up naturally. They've done it so long that... they for them their prayer time they just they just wake up and it's time to pray yeah yeah so there are certain people also in marriage they are like that they don't need an alarm they just Things work. But you may find you are not like that. You may be there, you look at each other wondering, you get shocked and say, hey, when did this thing last happen? Oh my God.

We have backslidden. No. Go and... What happened? What happened here? Anyway, I can't get it people.

they really have to be careful so discern the body these guys they are helping us doing indoor now with 50 couples isn't it ndoa people stand up if you are doing the ndoa season this season stand up stand up stand up ndoa it's do it okay even the facilitators how is it it's good you are like where were they all along awesome thank you so you you need to sign up for the next season this one's already well advanced

You just talk to the Camaras, they will take you in. Only it may come around season 21. About 40. But discern the body. Don't do marriage in isolation. It does not work. Why doesn't it work? It's not designed to work like that. When you take your car, because it's nice and powerful, you drive it into the water. You see? Let's see how to drive it on the lake.

What do you think is going? You're going to drown. It's not designed to move on water. There you should buy a boat. Now it may have a powerful engine. It may be new. The seats are nice. you even have things in the boot while you're drowning it's not designed to be driven on water marriage is not designed to work alone in especially speaking to the men Because men, we have big heads like basketball balls. You are the ones who don't want to seek help. Even when your wife wants to seek help.

i'm going to chilekai then how can you be like that wave your hand like this find the nearest man near you and slap them and say don't be like that only men only men the nearest man and sit down.

Serve the Mission: Hand-in-Hand Purpose

Verse 31, for this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. The third, the out is serve the mission. Serve the mission. Which mission? The mission of the church. If you do these three things at a practical level.

having understood that you're already a loving husband and a submissive wife, I don't see how your marriage will not work. I don't see how your marriage will not work. When you are showing grace to one another and you are discerning the body, you're going for fireplace or whatever your group is. where you talk. You're in Nindoa, whatever. And then you're serving the mission. Now you see, marriage is not face to face. It's all like this. It wasn't like this for a long time.

You start saying, oh, what is this? Is this a thingy? Then you look like, oh, the cheeks. look like how long can you do this before you're bored and starting to fortify marriage is not face to face marriage is hand in hand on a mission Walking. It's a walk. He says you together inherit a grace of life. Is life static? Is this life? No, that's not life. Life...

Grace of life, it's in what? First Peter. Life, you're raising children, building, making investments, serving the Lord, mentoring people. making disciples planting churches building zones planting cathedrals doing crusades going on international missions this is life and it's exciting This is boring and unsustainable. You are in the same place.

Mission Sustains Marriage

But here you are seeing the Lord. It's an experience. So, if you are not serving the Lord, I urge you, start serving. the lord if you have left only your wife to serve you you are like a ceremonial mc shepherd you are she's the real shepherd you are ceremonial Because you allow the MC to meet in your house. You're missing out. It's about a mission.

That's why you see that people who do this, they stay married a long time. The other day that guy who died, what was his name? He was like a huge preacher in the 80s. Jimmy Swaggart. Yeah, he even had a problem. They set him up and ended up with a strange woman in a hotel. But because they were in the mission, the wife forgave him and they continued.

And by the time he died, they had been married like 72 years. Like, I'd never seen anyone married 70 years. I'd seen a lot of 60, but I'd never seen 70. until i read it 70 something years jimmy's son got married even when he ended up in a hotel with a strange woman and his mission nearly collapsed but they kept walking they forgave get on the mission look life is exciting

Why are you living your boring life? All you know is so spans and so spans and spoons and folks. The whole world is waiting for you. To go do mighty express. How long can you do suspense? And say, oh, the children, look, they are going to grow and go. Okay, what after the children are born, what are you going to do? Creating new problems.

go do mazo september remember awakening casting out let's find you you're shaking a certain town your pictures are on the whatever billboards you and your husband you and your wife beating the devil like with those games which are raw their brains have just removed off the tree

Invitation and Challenge Defined

serve the mission thank you my secretary for today so you see how Up, in, out. Works in marriage. Yeah. That's up, in, out. Lastly, where you want to go? If you're a disciple, you already know this in MCs, but I wanted you to see the marriage site. Okay. Lastly, I want you to see invitation and challenge. In marriage. Okay. Invitation. Now, in invitation and challenge, we use the scripture in Matthew 16.

where Jesus said, what do men say that I am? Oh, then Peter said, you are the Christ also. And then he says, ah, Peter, flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my... father in heaven i also say that you are rock peter and on this rock i will build my church and the gates of hate shall not prevail against it so he will not him so much

Even, yeah. And then in the same chapter, a few sentences down, like five verses later, Jesus was saying he's going to die. Then Peter says, no one is going to. He said, get behind me, Satan. Now that's challenge. Now even in marriage there has to be invitation and challenge. Yes. Now what happens when

Four Marriage Quadrants

So invitation is encouragement, yeah? I find no fault in you approach. You don't, whether the shoes are in the sink. The socks are in the plate. You are looking for peace. So what happens when you are... High invitation, low challenge. It's cozy. It's a cozy marriage. Now, very few people ever experienced that. Very few. Now, how about high challenge, low invitation? Stressful marriage. This is where most people find themselves, especially in the earlier years.

of marriage. After the bliss has worn off and you start living, you find stress because everyone is trying to tell the other what they need to do better. The problem is you have high challenge but low invitation yeah it's stressful when you see a phone call from your husband or your wife you're wondering what are they going to bring up this time Why does it feel like people are relating? You are clicking. It has happened to you.

So that's why he said, very few people experience the cozy marriage. Now, most people naturally, they are going to be in stress. Now, High invitation, because I'm out of time, I can't go into details. This is, how did I call it? Empowered marriage. Or growing marriage. Or fruitful marriage, whichever you want to call it. Because they are like, where is it growing to? This one is stale. Like we don't care. I don't care what time you come back.

i also don't do anything for you you can come at whatever time but also no number one no welcome back no tea Nothing, no one talks, no conversation, no texting, no flowers, no kameza, no... We just coexist in the same space. We tolerate each other. That's low invitation, low challenge. Many people come to that place after some time of trying so much to... get the other person to do something and they didn't say, I can't break the law of God.

I've released you. When I want to talk to people to have meaningful conversations, I have my friends that I talk to. For men, they go to the bar. For women, they have their women friends. They don't need to go anywhere. They can talk anytime from anywhere.

From Stress to Fruitful Growth

Am I making sense? Yeah. Disconnection. Sterility. Nothing is... You see your friend and... there's no even a little kick inside yeah it's like we have to be good a good couple at church yeah Then the other one, the cozy one is, look, I'm doing everything for you, but I don't ask you to do anything. It's better than still. It's better than stress. I would rather have cozy than stress.

But there is a better place. Now, you see, when we got married, Sokoide, by the way, she speaks very good Lu Soko. Hey, even me, I cannot speak Runyankori. when we got married we entered three years of stress i'm telling you It was Christian stress. Christian stress has limits. You can't go out, you can't date another person, you don't go to the bar, you don't come back late.

Yeah, but instead of the bar, you go to prayer mountain. You don't beat each other, you don't, no physical violence, but inside. So we were stressed. Then when we landed on discipleship evangelism, so this stress was 2003 to 2006. Then in June 2006. Jack started the E. And in exactly two to three months, we had completely distressed. Now because of that, too much stress. When DE came and I landed in Grace, we swung on the other side. I was like, look, you see me here.

Whether you want words, whether you sit at the back, whether you serve in the church. you and do me at home it's there was no we were really not trying i think we were we were tired from the stressful years yeah we needed a break And that took like five to seven years. You know, it was after 14 years that she started serving properly in the church of marriage. 14 years. So it took her 11 years from the stress to finally plug in into the mission.

But in those 11 years, I was not on our case, what? We could have a few skirmishes here and there, but there were not major incidents. We were largely happy. We were happy to let each other be. But it wasn't a very good, it wasn't the best. It was better than the stress by far. But it wasn't the best. So we were not growing at the same level.

we were not and then later on when we were at a good comfort level that's when i would start saying why don't you try this then she'll be like oh why don't you try this oh why don't you try this Yeah. And then when Bishop Doug came, we re-entered good, helpful, faithfulness. These guys have already created that graphic. Put it up. Yeah. I feel like our marriage is very fruitful. Because we have the grace foundation. Thank God for Andromath.

But now we are also apostolic. Thank God for Bishop Doug. There are those things Bishop Doug says, which if you are not in grace, special about pastor's wives. diabolos yeah but when you are in it and you already have so now she has grown

I'm growing, she's growing in our parenting, in our... how we do money, how we do things, how we take care of other people. But we're in a good place because... with the stress we survived it then we entered that season of just look we've had enough problems okay yeah let's be happy if you want to study you study if you don't want or you don't there is no issue here no one is requiring anyone of anything if you want to serve yourself if you don't want to serve just sit anywhere

in the church yeah at least you are christian and you are inside not outside you are not attending another church yeah but now we've moved into That quadrant of, we can, look, even if I told her you've put on weight, she will not see it in any bad way. There are people here, your husbands fear you, they can't say anything.

you have to send a friend and then say you tell her don't say i said anything just find the web whatever yeah yeah But you can reach a place where you can talk to each other in a healthy way without fearing.

The Fruitful and Growing Marriage

The other person's reaction because they know that whatever you're saying, you're saying it out of love. You're not trying to put them down. Besides... You can't just be saying those things. Also, on this other side, you're doing a lot of invitation. You're promoting the person. You're gifting the person. You're trying to figure out how do I make this person happier. Am I making sense? No, that's the ultra practical side of marriage. Invitation and challenge in marriage. Imagine with me.

that both of you we are really growing you're growing in your financial stewardship you're growing in how you take care of each other You're growing in how you take care of yourselves. Everyone is minding their health. You're growing in your parenting. You're growing in your homemaking. You're growing in your ministry. You're growing in the way you... produce resources that you need investments etc imagine with me that you are both growing every year for the next 30 years

What kind of couple will you be in 30 years? If you grow month on month, you know how they trap those? uh companies on the on the stock market quarter on quarter growth yeah you are both reading we both read books we read a lot we both go through coaching experiences One time she bought land and she bought me that I just signed as, yeah, to sign on the title because she has bought names, but she has bought it herself. That's growth.

And then I'm also doing amazing. So imagine that you were growing, growing in your connection, growing in your ministry, growing in your up, your in, your out for the next. But those who haven't started, let's say you start next year, and then for the next 30 years, you are not a stale couple, you are not stressful, you are not cozy.

Call to Salvation and Holy Spirit

You are fruitful and growing. What kind of family? You receive it. Wow. Our time is up and really this was it. I hope you have understood it. Remember, the body without the spirit is what gives life to your marriage. Why don't you pray in the spirit and invite the Holy Spirit, the giver of life. Because he's here with us. We've heard his word. Thank you, Lord. We are just going to pray 10 minutes and we'll be gone. So don't worry.

You don't have to leave early. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for your word. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you that you've had mercy on us. We may have made mistakes but you've had mercy on us. Thank you Lord for every marriage. the ones that have been on for long, the ones that have just begun, the ones that are yet to begin. We thank you. We bless you. Keep praying. Keep praying. Keep on praying. Keep on praying. Pray into your marriage. Give thanks. Pray in the spirit. Thank you Jesus.

Now, maybe you're here, you've never given your life to Jesus. The body without the spirit is dead. All these things we are talking about marriage, they will not work. If you don't have the help of the Lord. Maybe a friend invited you or you've been coming and you're saying, Pastor, pray for me. I want to give my life to Christ. The Holy Spirit is calling you. He's bidding you come. Come to the Lord. Let him give you a firm foundation on which you can build your life, including marriage.

I want to make an invitation to you. Wherever you are, can I ask that we stop moving about? Wherever you are, you're saying, pray for me. I would like to give my life to Jesus. Or you once walked with him and walked away with every head bowed. Every eye closed. You're that person. Just put your hand up straight and say, Pastor, pray for me. I want to give my life to Jesus. Put it up until I've seen it. Wherever you are, let nothing stop you.

Let nothing hinder you. I know we have been talking marriage, but it is the Holy Spirit. I want to see your hand if you are not born again and you want to give your life to Jesus. Anybody in the house today? Amen. Is everyone born again? Help me ask your neighbor, tell them, neighbor, have you given your life to Jesus? If they are not, tell them, I will walk there with you. I'll go with you.

Anybody I'm hearing people clapping? We are clapping for the fact that everyone is born again. Talk to your neighbor. Ask them. Have you committed?
