Transcript

Speaker: 00:00:12

Welcome back everyone to

episode 31 of I can's.

: 00:00:15

He Can.

: 00:00:17

I'm Sarai and we are continuing

our Sound Mind series.

: 00:00:20

we are finally wrapping up Ephesians.

: 00:00:24

I feel like since this is a once a

week thing, it's just taken forever,

: 00:00:30

but I truly hope that you guys have

enjoyed this journey through Ephesians.

: 00:00:35

I know that.

: 00:00:36

Even other parts of the Bible that I have

been reading, it's like a little light

: 00:00:41

bulb just kind of turns on in my head and

I'm like, ah, that sounds like what I read

: 00:00:46

here and what Paul was explaining there.

: 00:00:48

And it's just amazing to see the

progress that you make as you

: 00:00:52

continue to dive in the word.

: 00:00:54

I am going to read chapter five.

: 00:00:57

and then read chapter six, Other times

I will read it in full and then go

: 00:01:02

back and explain, but because this

is two chapters, Through the spirit

: 00:01:05

I think that I'm just going to.

: 00:01:10

try and explain as I go, what I

have already underlined and circled

: 00:01:14

and little notes that I have taken.

: 00:01:16

it is very straightforward.

: 00:01:18

it's definitely things that we have

already heard Paul say in the other

: 00:01:23

first four chapters of Ephesians.

: 00:01:25

So I, I don't really think that.

: 00:01:28

We need to decipher much more of what

he's trying to tell us in five and six.

: 00:01:33

But before we start five and six, This

is not having to do with Ephesians.

: 00:01:41

This is just kind of like a little

preface of what I've had on my mind

: 00:01:44

this week, and this message is.

: 00:01:47

Really for any person who's a

non-believer or not a Christian who

: 00:01:55

happens to just stumble upon the podcast,

: 00:01:58

I want every person who comes across this

episode I want you guys to analyze your

: 00:02:05

life with God, and Without God, when you

lose faith, when you don't believe, when

: 00:02:12

it becomes hard for you to say, God,

: 00:02:16

Thank you for waking me

up, If you even say that,

: 00:02:22

analyze, take a moment and just

imagine what your life would be

: 00:02:27

like if you would have no hope in

anything and just go day by day.

: 00:02:35

Just saying, well, this

is what life has given me.

: 00:02:41

I think that would be a

very dark and lonely life.

: 00:02:44

Doesn't matter how many people

you have with you, that would

: 00:02:47

be a very dark and lonely life.

: 00:02:50

But if you have Jesus, if you have

God, if you walk in the Holy Spirit.

: 00:02:59

Then what do you have right now in life?

: 00:03:02

What do you have?

: 00:03:04

yes, you're still gonna

go through problems,

: 00:03:09

but you have hope.

: 00:03:12

You have hope.

: 00:03:13

You have faith.

: 00:03:15

And through him, through that hope and

through that faith, you have strength

: 00:03:25

and it's not as dark.

: 00:03:28

It's not as dark, it is not as

lonely because no matter how many

: 00:03:35

times you speak to someone, they may

say, oh yeah, it's not a big deal.

: 00:03:41

Don't worry.

: 00:03:41

You'll get through this.

: 00:03:43

That person doesn't really

sympathize with you.

: 00:03:45

They say they do, but they go about

their life and they truly don't care.

: 00:03:49

They don't solve your problem.

: 00:03:52

But you know what, God is there.

: 00:03:57

God is always there and God is

trying to do a work in your life.

: 00:04:03

He is trying to move things

around in your life, but he can't.

: 00:04:10

He can't because you don't let him.

: 00:04:13

So step aside,

: 00:04:16

step aside and let him work.

: 00:04:21

And if you have that faith, if you just

let yourself take that leap and give

: 00:04:28

your life and surrender your life to God,

your life is gonna be a lot different.

: 00:04:35

You may still go through all the

things you're going through, but you

: 00:04:39

have hope and you have faith, and you

have strength, and you are not alone.

: 00:04:45

And guess what?

: 00:04:46

Doesn't matter what you're going through.

: 00:04:49

At the end of your race, at the end

of it all, you have eternity With him,

: 00:04:58

the people of God we're going

to be basking in the same glory.

: 00:05:04

Just because you endured, you

believed and you said, God, I'm here.

: 00:05:13

I am here and I'm yours.

: 00:05:15

Your will be done.

: 00:05:19

Sometimes that's all it takes,

: 00:05:23

but that's all I had in my heart.

: 00:05:26

Things that I have been thinking

about and that I just wanted to

: 00:05:30

say before I start reading, before

we finish Ephesians five and six.

: 00:05:35

Um, Without further ado, Disclaimer,

I'm reading New King James

: 00:05:42

version, so grab your Bibles.

: 00:05:44

Do not continue.

: 00:05:46

If you do not have your Bibles, and

like my pastor says, with all this

: 00:05:51

technology and stuff that's going on

nowadays, get yourself one of these.

: 00:05:56

Get yourself one of these.

: 00:05:57

Do not just rely on the apps.

: 00:05:59

Do not rely on the internet.

: 00:06:01

Do not rely.

: 00:06:03

On this.

: 00:06:04

Why?

: 00:06:04

Because these things

are being tampered with.

: 00:06:06

These things are being

changed, and it's true.

: 00:06:09

Chad GBT is not always correct.

: 00:06:11

So you guys, you guys that are

all up in Chad, GBT all the time

: 00:06:15

asking for advice and for this, for

that know, use what God gave you.

: 00:06:21

Use your brains as simple as that.

: 00:06:25

Now we are gonna start, make

sure you have your Bibles.

: 00:06:28

I'm reading from the

new King James version.

: 00:06:32

And this one is titled Walk In Love.

: 00:06:35

Um, every little section

has a different title.

: 00:06:37

So this one is Walk in Love and

it says Chapter five verse one.

: 00:06:43

Therefore be imitators of

God as dear children already.

: 00:06:49

Verse one, I'm already stopping

imitators of God I'm an imitator.

100

: 00:06:53

when I was younger people would say

like, oh, you're such a teacher's pet.

101

: 00:06:56

You're such a.

102

: 00:06:59

Oh my God, I'm already talking Spanish.

103

: 00:07:01

This isn't the Spanish episode.

104

: 00:07:04

People would always say,

ah, you pretend to be this.

105

: 00:07:05

You pretend to be that.

106

: 00:07:06

You know what?

107

: 00:07:07

In this case, yes, I wanna

be an imitator of God.

108

: 00:07:10

Why?

109

: 00:07:10

Because I wanna be more Christlike.

110

: 00:07:13

That's not a bad thing.

111

: 00:07:17

Verse two.

112

: 00:07:18

And walk in love as Christ also

has loved us and given himself for

113

: 00:07:22

us an offering and a sacrifice to

God for a sweet smelling aroma.

114

: 00:07:28

So if you guys haven't read any

Old Testament, when they talk about

115

: 00:07:31

offerings, they always say that

it's a sweet smelling aroma to God.

116

: 00:07:36

So in this case, they're saying that

Jesus, well first of all, that we

117

: 00:07:39

walk in love like Christ, like Jesus.

118

: 00:07:43

But then he offered himself,

he gave himself for us.

119

: 00:07:48

And it was an offering and a sacrifice

120

: 00:07:50

Like what they say in the Old Testament,

a sweet smelling aroma, which God loved.

121

: 00:07:55

God loved all of those, you know, perfect,

um, animals that they would sacrifice.

122

: 00:08:00

They would say that that was

a offering to God and it was

123

: 00:08:03

a sweet smelling aroma to him.

124

: 00:08:04

So in this case, that's

what Paul is saying here.

125

: 00:08:06

It's just relating back to that

Old Testament lingo, verse three.

126

: 00:08:12

But fornication and all uncles or

covetousness, let it not even be named

127

: 00:08:18

among you as is fitting for saints.

128

: 00:08:22

So do not let fornication, you already

know that is, I'm not even gonna explain.

129

: 00:08:27

Do not let anything that is

unclean like covetousness being

130

: 00:08:31

jealous of people and things, and.

131

: 00:08:36

Seeing what their lives are like.

132

: 00:08:38

Don't let that get to you because

that's not things of saints,

133

: 00:08:41

that's not things of Christ.

134

: 00:08:43

you can't let those

things get in your head.

135

: 00:08:46

You can't let that move you.

136

: 00:08:47

You have to move.

137

: 00:08:48

Like who?

138

: 00:08:49

Like Christ.

139

: 00:08:52

Verse four.

140

: 00:08:53

Neither filthiness nor foolish talking.

141

: 00:08:57

Mm mm-hmm.

142

: 00:08:59

Nor coarse jesting making.

143

: 00:09:03

Raunchy jokes.

144

: 00:09:03

I love raunchy jokes, or shall I

say loved, it's just, it's just

145

: 00:09:09

what we were used to growing up.

146

: 00:09:12

The second we could start cursing, we did.

147

: 00:09:14

And man, I've personally

think have improved a lot, but

148

: 00:09:19

sometimes, even now, sometimes I

let one slip and it's like, Ugh.

149

: 00:09:23

Oh my God.

150

: 00:09:24

Sorry, Lord.

151

: 00:09:27

So that's one of the things

that Paul is talking here.

152

: 00:09:31

We're never gonna be perfect, but

that doesn't mean we can't do better.

153

: 00:09:35

Okay.

154

: 00:09:37

Verse five, and I have

this one completely, um,

155

: 00:09:41

underlined all of verse five.

156

: 00:09:43

Let's see what it says.

157

: 00:09:45

For this, you know that no fornicator

unclean person nor covetous man who

158

: 00:09:51

is an idolater, has an inheritance

in the kingdom of Christ and God.

159

: 00:09:56

So no person that is any of these things.

160

: 00:09:58

What we just discussed has

a place in the kingdom.

161

: 00:10:02

It's just as simple as that.

162

: 00:10:05

Verse six, let no one deceive you

with empty words for because of the

163

: 00:10:09

things, the wrath of God comes upon.

164

: 00:10:11

The sons of disobedience.

165

: 00:10:13

The sons of disobedience are

sons of the enemy, sons of Satan.

166

: 00:10:19

So let none of those people

deceive you with empty words.

167

: 00:10:22

Why?

168

: 00:10:22

What are empty words from

the sons of disobedience?

169

: 00:10:26

When the enemy starts whispering

your ear, you're not good enough.

170

: 00:10:29

Oh, let's go.

171

: 00:10:30

Let's have a few more drinks.

172

: 00:10:32

Oh, let's go.

173

: 00:10:33

Let's you know, have sex with

this person and that person.

174

: 00:10:37

Empty things that are going to.

175

: 00:10:39

Lead you to death.

176

: 00:10:40

Sin equals death.

177

: 00:10:43

Sin equals death.

178

: 00:10:44

Whether it's today, a year from

now, or five years from now.

179

: 00:10:47

If you continue no matter what it

is, it's going to deteriorate you.

180

: 00:10:53

do not let those empty actions of the

flesh lead you because there is no

181

: 00:10:58

place in the kingdom of God for that.

182

: 00:11:03

It's a good reminder for myself

too, man, because man, it is hard.

183

: 00:11:06

It is hard.

184

: 00:11:07

But you know what, we

try, we try, we sure do.

185

: 00:11:10

Try verse seven.

186

: 00:11:13

Therefore, Paul loves, therefore,

therefore, do not be partakers with them.

187

: 00:11:19

So let's read six and seven again.

188

: 00:11:22

Let no one deceive you with empty words

for because of these things, the wrath of

189

: 00:11:27

God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

190

: 00:11:30

The wrath of God is going to come

upon those sons of disobedience,

191

: 00:11:34

those people who are sons of Satan.

192

: 00:11:36

If you are not a son of God, you are

a son of Satan, as simple as that.

193

: 00:11:43

Therefore, do not be partakers with them.

194

: 00:11:45

Do not partake.

195

: 00:11:46

Do not sit with them.

196

: 00:11:47

Do not allow them to

be a part of your life.

197

: 00:11:52

Verse eight.

198

: 00:11:54

For you we're once darkness, but

now you are light in the Lord.

199

: 00:11:59

Ever since that very first sin took

place in Genesis, the entire world,

200

: 00:12:04

all creation, everything is cursed.

201

: 00:12:06

But here Paul says, we were once darkness,

but now you are light in the Lord.

202

: 00:12:13

Why?

203

: 00:12:13

Because the Lord came to sacrifice and to.

204

: 00:12:17

Take us away from that darkness.

205

: 00:12:19

So what we are light in the

Lord, it's because of him

206

: 00:12:24

walk as children of the light.

207

: 00:12:28

Then in parentheses it says verse nine,

for the fruit of the spirit is in all

208

: 00:12:31

goodness, righteousness, and truth.

209

: 00:12:33

Yes.

210

: 00:12:34

The spirit isn't all things that are good.

211

: 00:12:36

However, in verse 10, it says, finding

out what is acceptable to the Lord

212

: 00:12:41

and have no fellowship with the

unfruitful works of darkness, have

213

: 00:12:45

no fellowship, just like it says.

214

: 00:12:47

Therefore, do not be partakers with them.

215

: 00:12:48

Do not have fellowship even with

people that are not walking upright.

216

: 00:12:52

Do not do it.

217

: 00:12:55

Why?

218

: 00:12:55

Because you will fall into that.

219

: 00:12:59

it's as simple as that.

220

: 00:13:01

It is like they say, you are what you eat.

221

: 00:13:03

It's very similar to you

become who you hang out with.

222

: 00:13:06

That's just as simple as that.

223

: 00:13:09

Then it continues and it says verse

11, and have no fellowship with

224

: 00:13:13

the unfruitful works of darkness.

225

: 00:13:15

Everything dark, like nothing good

comes from that, but rather expose them.

226

: 00:13:21

If you know something is bad in your life,

expose it, get rid of it or say wo to you.

227

: 00:13:27

Well, you probably won't

say wo to you, but.

228

: 00:13:31

Talk to that person.

229

: 00:13:32

Say, Hey, I don't like what

you're doing, or what you're

230

: 00:13:34

doing is making me feel like this.

231

: 00:13:35

Expose it.

232

: 00:13:36

Why?

233

: 00:13:37

Because it's gonna change.

234

: 00:13:38

It's gonna shift away from you.

235

: 00:13:39

You have to part yourself

from those things.

236

: 00:13:43

verse 12, for it is shameful

even to speak of those things

237

: 00:13:47

which are done by them in secret.

238

: 00:13:49

Nothing.

239

: 00:13:54

Nothing bad.

240

: 00:13:56

Is ever said out in the open

without being ashamed, all things

241

: 00:14:02

good, you immediately celebrate.

242

: 00:14:03

But if you fail at something, you're

not gonna post it on social media.

243

: 00:14:07

No, absolutely not.

244

: 00:14:09

And that's what it's saying here for it

is shameful even to speak of those things

245

: 00:14:14

which are done by them in secret verse 13.

246

: 00:14:18

But all things that are exposed

are made manifest by the light.

247

: 00:14:23

Everything comes to light.

248

: 00:14:25

Good and bad, especially bad.

249

: 00:14:28

for whatever makes manifest is light.

250

: 00:14:31

whether you're sitting today or tomorrow,

whether you are doing good or bad,

251

: 00:14:35

all those things are gonna be known.

252

: 00:14:38

And it's not being known to man.

253

: 00:14:40

Maybe you get away with some things, but

those things are going to be known to who?

254

: 00:14:44

To the Lord.

255

: 00:14:47

Verse 14.

256

: 00:14:48

Therefore he says, awake you,

who sleep arise from the dead

257

: 00:14:52

and Christ will give you light.

258

: 00:14:54

And he sure does.

259

: 00:14:56

Verse 15.

260

: 00:14:58

See then that you walk circumspectly,

not as fools, but as wise.

261

: 00:15:03

Verse 16, redeeming the time

because the days are evil.

262

: 00:15:07

So just walk righteously, walk

as upright as possible, try

263

: 00:15:10

and do the best that you can.

264

: 00:15:12

Try to not sin.

265

: 00:15:13

Sit with people who are wiser than you.

266

: 00:15:15

So verse 16 says, redeeming the

time because the days are evil.

267

: 00:15:22

You have to be careful.

268

: 00:15:23

the clock is running,

and these days are evil.

269

: 00:15:25

Everything going on is just not good, and

it was at this time when Paul wrote it.

270

: 00:15:31

Same thing right now, verse 17.

271

: 00:15:35

Therefore, Do not be unwise, but

understand what the will of the Lord is.

272

: 00:15:41

You already know what

the will of the Lord is.

273

: 00:15:43

I already said that chapter four.

274

: 00:15:47

And do not be drunk with wine

in which is dissipation, but

275

: 00:15:51

be filled with the spirit.

276

: 00:15:53

don't just waste your life away.

277

: 00:15:55

Maybe this is metaphorically

also saying like, just don't, you

278

: 00:15:58

know, don't, don't feel drunk.

279

: 00:16:00

Don't be like, oh, okay, you know, just,

oh, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna bother.

280

: 00:16:04

No.

281

: 00:16:05

Also, don't be drunk because drunkenness

never brings anything good at the

282

: 00:16:09

end, but be filled with the spirit.

283

: 00:16:14

You can let go of the drinking and the

partying and you will feel that same

284

: 00:16:20

feeling of ex being excited and joyful and

happy when you truly do have the spirit.

285

: 00:16:26

And I will testify to that because

I have surely felt the same.

286

: 00:16:31

I don't need to to have

all those things anymore.

287

: 00:16:35

Verse 19, speaking to one another

in Psalms and hymns and spiritual

288

: 00:16:39

songs, singing and making melody in

your heart to the Lord worshiping.

289

: 00:16:44

Worshiping in a different way in music.

290

: 00:16:47

Even reading the Bible,

just reading Psalms.

291

: 00:16:49

It's you can worship the

Lord however you want.

292

: 00:16:52

Point is just, just do it.

293

: 00:16:55

Verse 20.

294

: 00:16:56

Giving thanks, always, giving thanks.

295

: 00:16:59

Giving thanks always for all

things to God the Father, in the

296

: 00:17:03

name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21.

297

: 00:17:06

Submitting to one another

and the fear of God.

298

: 00:17:10

Fear of God is not necessarily

being afraid of God.

299

: 00:17:12

It is respecting the Lord, having

that reverence for the Lord.

300

: 00:17:17

So I'm gonna read 15 through 21 without

stopping so that it all makes sense.

301

: 00:17:22

See then that you walk circumspectly

not as fools, but as wise redeeming

302

: 00:17:27

the time because the days are evil.

303

: 00:17:29

Therefore, do not be unwise, but

understand what the will of the Lord is.

304

: 00:17:34

And do not be drunk with wine

in which is dissipation, but

305

: 00:17:38

be filled with the spirit.

306

: 00:17:39

Speaking to one another, and Psalms

and hymns and spiritual songs.

307

: 00:17:43

singing and making melody in your heart

to the Lord, giving thanks always for

308

: 00:17:47

all things to God the Father, in the

name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting

309

: 00:17:52

to one another in the fear of God.

310

: 00:17:55

Verse 22 wives.

311

: 00:17:59

Very important.

312

: 00:18:00

Those of you who are married.

313

: 00:18:03

Wives submit to your own

husband's as to the Lord.

314

: 00:18:08

Are you submitting?

315

: 00:18:09

Did you submit?

316

: 00:18:11

I sure as heck didn't submit,

but now I know better.

317

: 00:18:15

That's the thing.

318

: 00:18:16

When you don't read the Manual of

life that I continue to call this

319

: 00:18:22

the Manual of Life you don't know.

320

: 00:18:27

You have to read.

321

: 00:18:28

You have to get in the word.

322

: 00:18:29

You have to understand us.

323

: 00:18:31

Women nowadays do not know our role.

324

: 00:18:34

All this feminism stuff.

325

: 00:18:36

I had another episode on

that in the very beginning.

326

: 00:18:38

I don't remember what number it was,

but all this feminism stuff is garbage.

327

: 00:18:43

Garbage.

328

: 00:18:43

I don't care who I offend.

329

: 00:18:45

I don't care if anyone shuts off

YouTube right now or whatever.

330

: 00:18:48

You know, wherever you're listening from.

331

: 00:18:50

Feminism is garbage.

332

: 00:18:54

It's not real.

333

: 00:18:56

What is real is that we were

made from the rib of a man.

334

: 00:19:01

Our purpose is to be there

for them, to be their support,

335

: 00:19:06

to be their their companion.

336

: 00:19:09

And yes, we should submit, but you need to

ask yourself, are they leading correctly?

337

: 00:19:14

You submit openly if they lead correctly.

338

: 00:19:18

If you feel fulfilled by your

leader, your man of God, then

339

: 00:19:22

you will submit with no problem.

340

: 00:19:24

But today's society is

completely turned upside down.

341

: 00:19:28

So of course, women don't wanna submit

because they have these men who are just

342

: 00:19:31

wishy-washy, who are more women than men.

343

: 00:19:34

I don't care who I offend,

but it's the truth.

344

: 00:19:37

It is the truth, and it is plain as

day that anything that isn't here

345

: 00:19:41

is not good to society nowadays.

346

: 00:19:44

So I'm telling you, if you find

a man of God, a man of this

347

: 00:19:50

word, not a man of their word.

348

: 00:19:52

Because their word, my word is the flesh.

349

: 00:19:55

If you find a man of their word,

350

: 00:20:02

you will submit and

you'll be happy doing it.

351

: 00:20:07

You will

352

: 00:20:10

feel incomplete if you don't submit,

353

: 00:20:16

because that is just our

nature, our true nature.

354

: 00:20:21

Anyway.

355

: 00:20:22

Rant over for that verse 22.

356

: 00:20:27

Wives submit to your

husbands as to the Lord.

357

: 00:20:32

Verse 23 It says for

the husband is head of.

358

: 00:20:37

The wife as also Christ

is head of the church.

359

: 00:20:42

So again, you remember, Christ

is the head of the church and

360

: 00:20:46

we the people are the body.

361

: 00:20:49

So here is explaining that the man,

the husband is the head of the wife.

362

: 00:20:53

So when a home, it's the Lord,

the man, the woman, children.

363

: 00:20:58

Let's read that all

again so it makes sense.

364

: 00:21:02

That is verse 23.

365

: 00:21:03

For the husband is head of the wife,

as also Christ is head of the church

366

: 00:21:10

and he is the savior of the body.

367

: 00:21:13

Therefore, just as the church

is subject to Christ, so let the

368

: 00:21:17

wives be to their own husbands in

everything just like the church us.

369

: 00:21:23

We will do anything to serve the Lord.

370

: 00:21:27

The wife should do anything

to serve her husband.

371

: 00:21:32

That's just how it is.

372

: 00:21:34

That's just how it is.

373

: 00:21:37

That means calling them in the morning

to wake them up, bringing their coffee

374

: 00:21:43

to bed, making their breakfast, making

sure that they eat before they leave,

375

: 00:21:53

making sure they ate after work,

376

: 00:21:58

that they don't go without anything.

377

: 00:22:04

Need.

378

: 00:22:05

I say more?

379

: 00:22:07

It sounds a lot like caring for your kids.

380

: 00:22:08

And it's not saying that you're caring

for another kid, but you're submitting,

381

: 00:22:12

you're making sure that they are good

so that they can lead, so that they

382

: 00:22:18

can lead you in a better direction.

383

: 00:22:23

And I'm getting emotional.

384

: 00:22:25

Um.

385

: 00:22:26

Because for many years

I did not have that.

386

: 00:22:32

I did not have that,

and I would not submit.

387

: 00:22:38

But when you find something that

moves you in this direction,

388

: 00:22:47

you know, and you'll

do anything, anything.

389

: 00:22:55

To submit because it's your

role so that it can continue to

390

: 00:23:00

have Christ at the center of it.

391

: 00:23:04

That's just how it is.

392

: 00:23:05

That's just how it goes.

393

: 00:23:08

Verse 23, excuse me, verse 25.

394

: 00:23:14

Husbands love your wives, husbands.

395

: 00:23:21

Husbands, love your wives just

as Christ also loved the church

396

: 00:23:25

and gave himself for her.

397

: 00:23:30

I didn't have that either, but guess what?

398

: 00:23:34

When you have it and you

know you have it, you submit.

399

: 00:23:40

That's how you know husbands love

your wives, just as Christ also loved

400

: 00:23:46

the church and gave himself for her.

401

: 00:23:48

Verse 26.

402

: 00:23:50

That he might sanctify and cleanse her

with a washing of water by the word.

403

: 00:23:57

He's not gonna cleanse you with his words.

404

: 00:23:58

No.

405

: 00:24:00

He's gonna cleanse you with this word.

406

: 00:24:02

He's gonna make you whole with this word.

407

: 00:24:04

He's gonna lead you here, which

is going to lead you there

408

: 00:24:12

27, that he might present her

to himself a glorious church.

409

: 00:24:18

Not having spot or wrinkle or any

such thing, but that she should

410

: 00:24:23

be holy and without blemish.

411

: 00:24:27

verse 28.

412

: 00:24:29

so husbands oughta love their

own wives as their own bodies.

413

: 00:24:33

He who loves his wife, loves himself.

414

: 00:24:39

Self-explanatory.

415

: 00:24:40

I'm not even not even gonna go in that

verse 29 for no one ever hated his own

416

: 00:24:49

flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it.

417

: 00:24:54

Self-explanatory.

418

: 00:24:55

What do you do?

419

: 00:24:55

You don't let yourself starve.

420

: 00:24:57

No, you take care of it.

421

: 00:24:59

You feed yourself Same thing for your

husband, same thing for your wife.

422

: 00:25:06

For no one ever hated his own flesh,

but nourishes and cherishes it, just

423

: 00:25:10

as the Lord does the church, the

Lord does the same thing for us.

424

: 00:25:15

He loves us.

425

: 00:25:16

He cherishes us.

426

: 00:25:18

Verse thirty.

427

: 00:25:19

For, for we are members of his body.

428

: 00:25:22

We are parts of his body,

429

: 00:25:26

of his flesh and of his bones.

430

: 00:25:30

Verse 31.

431

: 00:25:31

For this reason, a man shall leave his

father and mother and be joined to his

432

: 00:25:37

wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

433

: 00:25:42

This is very important when a man

and a woman get married, that's it.

434

: 00:25:47

You become one.

435

: 00:25:50

You become one, and it's just

you and her Against everything.

436

: 00:25:54

And what should be at the center

keeping you guys like this,

437

: 00:25:59

keeping you guys together?

438

: 00:26:02

The word the Lord should be at the

center because you guys are now together.

439

: 00:26:07

Now you guys, it's not you against her.

440

: 00:26:09

No, it's you and her against

the spiritual warfare.

441

: 00:26:14

It's you and her against the world.

442

: 00:26:17

It's you and her against

the sons of disobedience.

443

: 00:26:21

Against the enemy, against

anything that you guys face.

444

: 00:26:24

It's you guys together.

445

: 00:26:25

And again, the enemy is going to whisper

things in your ears and it's going to tell

446

: 00:26:29

you things that are gonna make you seem

like you guys are fighting each other.

447

: 00:26:33

And it shouldn't be like that.

448

: 00:26:36

So if you find yourself a man of God,

your man of God is going to lead you here.

449

: 00:26:40

And if he doesn't know what to say in that

moment, he's going to jump in here first

450

: 00:26:44

before he goes to you and women hush.

451

: 00:26:49

I need, I need to work on that.

452

: 00:26:51

I'm still working on that, on

Hushing and being quiet and taking

453

: 00:26:57

a step back and submitting I am.

454

: 00:27:01

It's hard, but you know what?

455

: 00:27:03

When you are guided

correctly, it'll come easier.

456

: 00:27:07

Much easier.

457

: 00:27:09

So.

458

: 00:27:11

Like 31 says, for this reason,

a man shall leave his father and

459

: 00:27:15

mother and be joined to his wife,

and the two shall become one flesh.

460

: 00:27:20

You and your husband are one

461

: 00:27:24

verse 32.

462

: 00:27:25

This is a great mystery, but I speak

concerning Christ and the church, One day.

463

: 00:27:32

We'll understand that mystery, but we

will become one with Jesus and with

464

: 00:27:38

the Lord all because of his sacrifice.

465

: 00:27:41

We are going to be joined back

together, the body and Christ

466

: 00:27:50

33.

467

: 00:27:50

Nevertheless.

468

: 00:27:53

Let each one of you in particular, so

love his own wife as himself and let the

469

: 00:27:59

wife see that she respects her husband.

470

: 00:28:07

I really love Ephesians.

471

: 00:28:09

All right, that's the end of chapter five.

472

: 00:28:12

Wasn't that long.

473

: 00:28:14

Let's jump into chapter six of Ephesians.

474

: 00:28:22

And Remember, new King James version.

475

: 00:28:24

Open your Bibles.

476

: 00:28:25

Have it with you.

477

: 00:28:28

chapter six, verse one.

478

: 00:28:30

Children obey your parents in

the Lord for this is right.

479

: 00:28:39

I roll my eyes because nowadays

there's, there's like no

480

: 00:28:42

respect for adults anymore.

481

: 00:28:44

It's crazy.

482

: 00:28:46

It's crazy.

483

: 00:28:47

Oh my gosh.

484

: 00:28:48

I'm not even gonna jump into that.

485

: 00:28:49

'cause if not, I'll talk

about it for five minutes.

486

: 00:28:52

Honor your father and mother, which

is the first commandment you read.

487

: 00:28:57

The Old Testament, you know.

488

: 00:28:59

Children, obey your parents

and the Lord for this is right.

489

: 00:29:02

Verse two, honor your father

and mother, which is the first

490

: 00:29:05

commandment with promise.

491

: 00:29:07

Verse three, that it may be well with

you and you may live long on the earth.

492

: 00:29:13

Verse four, and I actually have

a little stars written important

493

: 00:29:17

reminders, so I'm gonna read verse four.

494

: 00:29:20

It should be an important

reminder to you and you fathers.

495

: 00:29:25

Do not provoke your children to

wrath, but bring them up in the

496

: 00:29:30

training and admonition of the Lord.

497

: 00:29:34

Why did I put important reminders?

498

: 00:29:38

It says, and you fathers,

but you know what?

499

: 00:29:40

Also you mothers.

500

: 00:29:42

Do not provoke your children to wrath.

501

: 00:29:44

That is me.

502

: 00:29:46

Oh my gosh.

503

: 00:29:47

When I read that, I was like,

Lord, give me patience, Lord.

504

: 00:29:51

Give me softer words, Lord.

505

: 00:29:55

Just close my mouth, zip up my lips.

506

: 00:29:58

Whenever I wanna yell at my

kids, man, I still yell at them.

507

: 00:30:02

I still do.

508

: 00:30:04

But I yelled a lot more.

509

: 00:30:06

Still a, a lot of work to do

there, but it's important.

510

: 00:30:10

It's important that we don't

provoke our kids even more.

511

: 00:30:14

They need order, they

need to be disciplined.

512

: 00:30:18

But there is also a difference between

order discipline and provoking them

513

: 00:30:22

to get mad or to the point where

they're not going to respect you.

514

: 00:30:26

There is a difference, and for a long

time, I did that for a long time.

515

: 00:30:32

I would take out my frustrations,

especially on my son, because

516

: 00:30:36

my daughter is younger and I,

I feel horrible about that.

517

: 00:30:42

I admit it because I'm not perfect.

518

: 00:30:48

But you admit and you fix, you repent.

519

: 00:30:53

You do better.

520

: 00:30:54

That's what it's all about.

521

: 00:30:57

Verse five, bond servants.

522

: 00:31:00

Be obedient to those who are

your masters according to the

523

: 00:31:03

flesh with fear and trembling in

sincerity of heart as to Christ.

524

: 00:31:08

So bond servants, I believe,

are those who just choose to

525

: 00:31:13

be servants to their masters.

526

: 00:31:15

Um, gonna have to go back, Let

me look that up really fast.

527

: 00:31:24

A person bound in service without

wages, so I'm not gonna go into every

528

: 00:31:28

single detail, but that's what Google

is just telling me a little over the
