[00:32:01]We thank you that you have touched every single mom here with your salvation.

[00:32:09]Those moms before they weren't Christians and after now they are Christians.

[00:32:22]You made them Christians and now moms want desire to be like you.

[00:32:34]We thank you father for your gift desire to become like you.

[00:32:41]In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

[00:32:46]All right. Well now the word go d l y.

[00:32:52]What is that?

[00:32:58]Like God to be like him. godly.

[00:33:05]Now the word quiet.

[00:33:08]Quiet.

[00:33:14]Okay. Quiet means you mothers here.

[00:33:22]Your home, we don't see it.

[00:33:29]We don't see your life at home.

[00:33:32]We don't know.

[00:33:35]You moms have strength from God.

[00:33:42]You show in your homes and other people see your private life that some people don't know. That's what that means. So, we're going to discuss and teach about that today.

[00:33:58]But before I start, The lesson I'm going to teach you is of four testimonies about moms. All moms.

[00:34:09]Okay? Now, those moms are not young Christians anymore. Those moms have been Christians for a long time. Very long time. Okay? These moms that you I'm going to share with you are moms, mature mothers, mature Christian mothers who've been faithful to the Lord for years. And I'm going to share with you what these moms have done all along, you know, to be growing like Christ. I'm going to share their testimonies. You see what those moms do because the children grow up and their husbands are watching. They're watching the mom. So I'm going to share with you first in verse Proverbs 31 verse 28.

[00:35:10]Proverbs chapter 31 verse 28.

[00:35:18]her children.

[00:35:20]Understand now this verse is in the home, the private dwellings of the home. The children rise up and they call her blessed.

[00:35:35]They're blessed to have that mom. And then her husband, what does the husband do? He also praises her, the wife, because in the private home, the children and the husband see and watch what she does at home. Now, I'm going to share a testimony. What does this mean?

[00:36:03]Children have a mom that blesses them.

[00:36:08]Mom does so much for Christ. And the husband watches and is also touched and says, "My wife is like Christ."

[00:36:23]The first one here, the husband, in that time the husband was not a Christian.

[00:36:33]And now the husband is a Christian. But in that time, the husband was not a Christian. The husband didn't care. He didn't care about church. He didn't care about the pastor and the lesson and the sermon. He didn't care. He's I don't care about that. He didn't care about church. He didn't come to church.

[00:36:56]But the husband watched watched his wife observed her all the way. all the time. He watched his wife and her life.

[00:37:11]Now the wife, the Christian wife, she knew when she became a Christian, the Lord was entered into her heart.

[00:37:22]Guess what? The mom knew, the wife knew Jesus is my shepherd.

[00:37:30]You understand? The mom knew that Jesus is my shepherd. Jesus is my leader.

[00:37:40]Okay. So, moms, Jesus Christ should be your shepherd.

[00:37:49]Unfortunately, moms have their madeup shepherd. What does that mean?

[00:37:58]Moms listen to their voice in their head. They follow their internal mindset. No moms follow Jesus Christ.

[00:38:10]And what it says here, Jesus would be talking to the disciples and Jesus said, "My sheep, you in the room, you moms, Christians, you are called sheep."

[00:38:29]Moms, Jesus is saying, "My sheep hear my voice."

[00:38:38]Do you understand what that means? Do you understand what that means? That Jesus is saying, "My my sheep, my believers, mine, they know my voice."

[00:38:52]What is his voice right here? This is his voice.

[00:38:59]And it says, "And what?"

[00:39:02]And Jesus says, "I know them." Oh, so that means that they're saved. They belong to him. Jesus says, "I know them." Ah, they're saved.

[00:39:18]Jesus Christ knows who belongs to him.

[00:39:22]And the same with the husbands. It's the same with the single people. All of you who are saved, Jesus Christ says, "I know you bec because my sheep know my voice."

[00:39:41]So you do you know his voice?

[00:39:46]Do you know his voice? Do you know his teaching?

[00:39:52]And Jesus said, "They Follow me. Wow.

[00:40:05]So the father, the husband will watch his wife and he mocked his wife. You You pray, you pray all day. You're praying, please. and the children. One boy, she had a son and every morning he would go into the king the kitchen and you know where his mom is? She is sitting at the table in the kitchen with her Bible.

[00:40:36]Listen to this. It's a true story. She was sit at the kitchen table with her Bible praying every day. Every day the husband would walk and watch She's doing the same thing. And even though the husband mocked her, even though the children mocked, the mother is stayed the same.

[00:41:02]She stayed with her, the strength of the Lord. She's growing in the Lord. She's going through the process. She knows that Jesus is speaking to her. She knows his voice. And the husband is watching and watching. He's watching and he's just kind of like, "What?" You know, it was like he was hoping to see that maybe my wife will step back and stop serving him.

[00:41:30]But his wife was faithful and the husband saw this in the wife. So the husband decided to come up to his wife and say, "Honey, I have to ask you a question.

[00:41:46]I don't understand.

[00:41:49]And he asked her, I've seen people hurt you. The husband has seen people hurting her.

[00:41:58]And the wife, what she does as a Christian, forgives them quickly.

[00:42:08]Wait a minute. Wait a minute. the wife, the people would hurt her and the wife would just forgive them quickly.

[00:42:21]The husband is just mind blown. And the second thing, the people be sick.

[00:42:27]Someone would get sick and the wife, she would just go and and meet them and see them, care for them. My husband, her husband would say, "What are you doing?"

[00:42:37]and she's like, "Oh, I'm just going to care for these people. They're sick."

[00:42:41]And the wife, you know, when she takes care of people who are sick, the wife, she's a Christian, following Christ, and she's not expecting any of them to give anything back to her. No, I don't need it. I just want to serve you.

[00:42:56]That's a Christian wife.

[00:42:59]She she's being praying year after year after year. That was her life. And he watched her. This is a true story.

[00:43:13]When they had financial problems, the wife knew, you know, there they were lacking money. And the wife, the husband would watch her and the wife would trust the Lord. Trust God.

[00:43:27]She'd trust God.

[00:43:29]The husband couldn't find any hatefulness or anger towards God.

[00:43:39]Whoa.

[00:43:41]The wife, she was deeply in communion with the Lord and disciplined. She knew her flesh and she she fought against it because the wife knew my family is watching me.

[00:43:58]They're observing me. Lord, help me, please.

[00:44:05]Even when her husband spoke harshly to her. Yeah. He was mean.

[00:44:14]And he would say things to her and insult her.

[00:44:19]And the what would the wife do? The wife would just say nothing.

[00:44:27]And she would respond in kindness and respect the husband. What?

[00:44:36]No revenge against the husband? None.

[00:44:44]She wouldn't talk back to him.

[00:44:50]She is a faithful woman and this is a true story.

[00:44:57]And the husband asked the wife, "Why are you doing this? Why? Why? Tell me."

[00:45:12]And the wife says, "Jesus Christ changed my life.

[00:45:23]Simple.

[00:45:34]So the second story is this mother who was faithful to the Lord. Her children thought it was a joke. They said, "Mom is a Christian. Oh, she's holy. She's holy. Mom prays. She's praying all the time. Pray. Pray. Pray. Pray, pray. And the husband sees her and he's like, "Come on, really."

[00:46:03]And the wife just prayed in the same area. She didn't change. She prayed in the same place. And understand, she's been a Christian for a long time. She's becoming to understand Jesus more, more and more.

[00:46:22]Lord, who are you?

[00:46:25]Please, Lord, give me understanding.

[00:46:32]And the ri the wife was faithful.

[00:46:37]Her children left the house. They went out the house.

[00:46:43]And one day, her son, his life collapsed.

[00:46:52]And he went to his mom. He looked for his mom and he said, "Mom, because I saw you pray, it touched me."

[00:47:06]And the husband started going to church because of the wife, her life as a Christian. You see, there there's no church No church.

[00:47:23]It's at home.

[00:47:27]Home.

[00:47:29]When you act at home, they will come to church because we show Jesus Christ. That's the key. That's the key. You know the verse in the Bible that says the wife the wife is doesn't nag the husband. The wife doesn't tell the husband what to do. Read the scripture. They don't tell the husband what to do.

[00:48:00]None of that.

[00:48:03]And the the Bible says the husbands look and are touched because of the wife's actions.

[00:48:13]The the scripture says nothing.

[00:48:20]God uses their life Christ in them to reach the husband.

[00:48:30]Sometimes we have to shut our mouths.

[00:48:39]Lord, control me. And that's it. Be kind.

[00:48:45]The same with children. You know, they mock their mom and their mom said nothing. Just love them. I love you and I pray for you and I will comfort you.

[00:49:12]Husband and children see their mother, their wife in action at home.

[00:49:20]It's not about church. It's home. what they're doing at the home. The husband and children see Christ in her in the wife all in the home.

[00:49:39]This here this is my two friends.

[00:49:48]The first the first one is my friend.

[00:49:50]And I asked them, I said, "You I have a wife. What's she do?" And I, you know, I sent them that verse. And the husband, you know, about the husband praises the wife and I sent it to my friend. And I said, "What do you see in your wife?"

[00:50:09]And my friend sent me this.

[00:50:13]He says, "I tell others." Wow. He tells people I see the Lord working in my wife. He tells people he's praising his wife.

[00:50:32]He sees his wife study the word. He identifies it clear as day. She studies the word of God every day.

[00:50:46]This is what my friend told me. His wife studies God's word every day.

[00:50:54]He was saying all this to me and I said, "Your wife studies the word?" He said, "Yeah, he's patient. She's patient with the kids. He watches the wife. Patient with her kids. She has four or five kids, I think, and she's patient with them."

[00:51:12]And he says, "She shows love and care.

[00:51:20]for me.

[00:51:26]And so the husband says, I praise and encourage her when talking with people in small groups. He says, "Oh, my wife is all these things." He praises his wife.

[00:51:45]He tells people that God is what God is doing in her life. You know, he explains, you know, my wife, God is changing her life. My wife's life is changing.

[00:51:59]The kids, they don't really say anything, but the kids always give her hugs and often tell her that they love her.

[00:52:12]That's it.

[00:52:16]It's all the key of how the wife lives for Christ. So these you know listen this is discipline.

[00:52:25]This is disciplined life.

[00:52:35]This is my second friend. I asked him how do you praise your wife? I asked him. And my friend sent this back to me.

[00:52:43]He says, "Well, I thank her. I thank my wife for all that she does, all that she does. You know, he loves his wife.

[00:52:56]I thank my wife for the meals she cooks and the wisdom because she's in God's word. She gets God's word and she receives God's word and the wisdom." And the wife begins to talk with wisdom. And the husband is in is thrilled, inspired, and the encouragement she is to me. The wife encourages the husband.

[00:53:31]She says, "My sons will do practical things like taking her out to lunch.

[00:53:44]They other her. They honor her on Mother's Day, which is probably going to be tomorrow, Monday. They'll probably honor her mom. They are typically busy on Sunday.

[00:53:56]The whole family will actually celebrate that day on Monday along with our daughters-in-law.

[00:54:08]So the daughter-in-law and the son celebrate on Monday and he says Sunday is too busy because of church. My son will occasionally call her or spend time with us.

[00:54:25]We see the grandchildren every week except the ones that live in Georgia.

[00:54:33]That's the life of the mom.

[00:54:36]These moms grew in the Lord every day.

[00:54:45]Let me ask you a question. How long were the disciples with Jesus? How long?

[00:54:52]Three years. Three years. Jesus teaching the disciples for three years. And let me ask you, the disciples, they did they mature? Yes. Yes. They matured later.

[00:55:09]It takes time to grow. It takes time your desire like Jesus.

[00:55:22]A mother's love reflects that word re L cs.

[00:55:33]Like any mother, when Jesus comes into her heart, her heart is opened and God is revealed through it. She shows God's love, shows his care. Wow.

[00:55:50]What does the mother do? First, the mother comforts, protects, teaches, sacrifice.

[00:56:01]Why comfort?

[00:56:05]Why? Because the mother experiences his comfort in the word. The mother gone through so much turmoil.

[00:56:17]God was there to support the mother and she experienced that comfort. And then with that she gives children that comfort. Why? Because she experienced his comfort. Protects Okay. She protects the mother.

[00:56:37]She realizes that she sins. She's guilty. God is protecting her.

[00:56:44]So what mom does, she teaches the children, hey, this sin is wrong.

[00:56:51]Teaches them, hey, this is wrong to protect them.

[00:56:56]and mother you know from God's teaching and reading the word she's being taught by the Lord rooted God speaks to her so in turn mother teaches her children and the mother teaches the husband because the husband watches and says oh thank you honey thank you I appreciate that you know her wisdom um mother's sacrifices. I mean, mothers aren't selfish because mothers see Jesus and their sacrifice for them.

[00:57:40]You've given us salvation and they've seen all that love that God has given us. And so the mothers sacrifice time for their children. My life is for you.

[00:57:52]My life is for my husband.

[00:57:58]Many mothers serve serve quietly.

[00:58:07]Most mature mothers don't boast in themselves. They stay home and you wouldn't know. It depends if the husband says something. My wife.

[00:58:17]Oh, spiritually. Wow.

[00:58:23]Most moms are quiet and identifiably mothers do not boast and mothers don't you know let other people praise you let them praise you don't say anything if you live with your husband and the husband will say my wife is wonderful a wonderful Christian woman God now moms moms You moms are not alone. Moms, listen to me. You're not alone. You're not alone. I love my sisters. God sees every tear that a mother has. Oh, mothers. You cry.

[00:59:10]You pray. Lord, reach my children, please.

[00:59:17]the tears of you mo you moms you want to see your children know Jesus you husbands you know please husbands you are a Christian you follower of Christ please pray with your wife support your wife hold on to your wife pray God knows that moms have a burden have so many things on their plate God knows you are not alone, moms.

[00:59:51]I told a story, you're not alone. It was interesting back then about 1800s, there was one group of Indians and they were trained they were training young boys about 10 to 12. Okay? And and they just trained them. They said, "You're going to learn to become an adult age 10 to 12."

[01:00:15]Goodness. And you moms are like, "No, no." But Indians back 500 years ago, the Indians, I think it was 1600 or 1700.

[01:00:26]But how they train the boys, they would say, "Come on, I'm going to train you."

[01:00:30]And where they would put them far out in the forest at night with nothing with them, no protection.

[01:00:43]They say go out there.

[01:00:45]So the boys will be placed and they say stay here and learn to survive.

[01:00:53]And they would leave and leave them there.

[01:00:56]Oh my goodness. And this is all night all night long.

[01:01:05]And they would hear I mean they're hearing so they would hear things rustling in the forest. who's coming? No one would be there, but it was so scary.

[01:01:16]And they would look around. They couldn't sleep.

[01:01:21]But now when the morning came up and the sun would rise, guess what?

[01:01:31]Their father was standing right there.

[01:01:36]God is the same with you all. You're not alone.

[01:01:42]God, the fathers, the fathers had all the weapons. If any animal touches the sun, they were ready. They were ready to put them down.

[01:01:56]Ready, standing by with weapons.

[01:01:59]And it's the same as God's protection over you.

[01:02:04]This is God's arrow.

[01:02:13]He will protect you.

[01:02:16]He will.

[01:02:20]He said, "Yeah, but deaf are, you know, can't hear. They might not be afraid."

[01:02:24]That's true. But deaf have eyes. You know, when you're young, 12 years old, you might panic a little bit.

[01:02:33]But understand that the mothers show God in their life.

[01:02:46]Some of you are saying, "Pastor, I heard a story." Okay, I'm curious. I heard a story about a and a a pastor, you know, preached this story. He he's not really a pastor, but he's a evangelical and he travels. And he gave a story to a congregation of people and he was saying hey you know you Christians here he was talking to the Christians in the crowd and he said suppose you know first he he asked do you have you already reviewed read the whole Bible the old testament the new testament you've read it all he asked them and he says to give them something to think about he said suppose you die you Christians you you here in the room will die. You go to heaven, okay? And you meet a the person the old who wrote the Old Testament, the Bible. You meet that person and that person comes up to you and says, "Hey, did you read my word in the Bible? Did you read what I wrote?"

[01:03:50]Uh oh, I didn't read it. That would be embarrassing. That would be awkward, right? If we get to heaven and and those people who wrote the scriptures, they ask you, "Hey, did you read did you read my my book?" No.

[01:04:09]Uh, no, I didn't read it. It's embarrassing, awkward.

[01:04:15]And you understand like we will meet all 40 authors there in heaven. We'll meet them.

[01:04:25]Did you read the Bible?

[01:04:31]moms.

[01:04:33]The moms that I spoke about, they're mature mothers. Those moms have read the Bible all through the Bible. They've read the whole Old Testament, New Testament, everything.

[01:04:46]Let me give you a verse.

[01:04:49]Living by the Spirit's power. Who's the spirit? It's God. God. The spirit of God. P O W. What does that mean?

[01:04:58]Authority. The power of the authority.

[01:05:02]So moms, read this. Moms know, moms learn to resist things that are wrong.

[01:05:10]So Paul is saying, so watch this. Pay attention. Paul is writing here to the to the church. Paul is teaching us how to live every day.

[01:05:23]Paul is teaching. Okay? And he says, "So let the Holy Spirit guide your lives."

[01:05:37]Did you see that?

[01:05:41]Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[01:05:45]Moms going through family problems.

[01:05:48]Moms, stay quiet and allow the Holy Spirit to guide their life. Well, Paul is letting the church know, I let the Holy Spirit control me.

[01:06:01]And then he's saying, "Wait a minute.

[01:06:03]Wait a minute." He says, "Then you Christians won't what doing what your sinful nature craves, what it wants."

[01:06:16]Do we understand? Do we understand this?

[01:06:20]So the Bible maybe some Christians are immersed in sin already. Does it feel good? You feel good?

[01:06:34]You're not depleted. Moms read this.

[01:06:37]They know the scripture. They know because every day they read.

[01:06:43]Probably moms would be me.

[01:06:46]Well, scripture says this. Oh, wow.

[01:06:54]1 Corinthians chapter 9 verse 27.

[01:06:58]Paul Paul teaches us something. Paul Paul his mind was all in for Christ. Paul says watch watch. Paul says understand Paul was involved in teaching. Paul shared the gospel. Paul traveled, set up churches.

[01:07:23]Paul, that was what he did. He taught He taught all his life. He became a Christian and he taught Christ. Paul teaches, you know, how how did Paul write? How did he succeed in life?

[01:07:39]Oh, Paul says, watch this. Watch this.

[01:07:42]So Paul is saying I discipline discipline my body.

[01:07:50]Oh, disciplined my body like because because the body we see each other's body, right? You know, we see, you know, what we do, our actions, what we're doing, right? Right. Paul disciplined his body for Christ.

[01:08:15]Like you know an athlete you know the Olympics you seen the Olympics this the same football different sports basketball why because they practice they practice you may be watching like how do they do that you're watching them in baseball and they hit a ball and the men are running and you're like wow how do they do that?

[01:08:44]How do they do that? Because they practice. They practice. It's the same as us Christians. We have to practice, you know, day by day. You Christians, if you fail, you fall on your knees.

[01:08:58]Oh gosh. Lord, help me.

[01:09:02]Oh, >> train me again. Lord, train me again.

[01:09:12]You get up. You get up every time and you become a mature Christian.

[01:09:18]But you have to believers, moms, wives, husbands, all of you, we have to recognize our sin.

[01:09:28]The moms recognize themselves their sin.

[01:09:31]They know. They read and they say, "Lord, please clean me. Clean this up. Please. My husband is stalking me.

[01:09:49]So Paul trained trained to live holy. He trained to be separate from sin. Paul trained to be like Christ. Listen listen believers.

[01:10:03]Believers we cannot sleep.

[01:10:08]Your flesh never sleeps. Never.

[01:10:16]Constantly running and thinking.

[01:10:24]So Paul is teaching us train to do what it should.

[01:10:32]Lord, I know this isn't right.

[01:10:37]And then Paul Paul adds something else here. He says, "If I don't discipline myself, if I don't train and I'm not being taught to be like Christ," you know what Paul says? He says, "I fear."

[01:10:52]Paul was afraid. If I messed up my life for Christ, he says, I fear that after preaching to others, I myself might be disqualified. Mean that he will feel if I don't train myself to be like Christ, if I don't ask for forgiveness of sins, if I don't repent, if I don't do all these things, Paul says I would feel like a hypocrite.

[01:11:25]Hypocrisy damages you.

[01:11:29]It damages you. It damages your name.

[01:11:35]Do you understand? It's the same with sports. If a person is involved in sports and they fail and they fail, then they're not qualified and they're removed. You failed your name, your reputation. People are looking at you.

[01:11:50]We have to teach be taught every day.

[01:12:00]A godly mother builds the home spiritually righteous. She shows a spiritual spirituality of Christ in her. Second Timothy 1 verse 5, Paul speaking here of the faith of Timothy. Paul, so listen, listen to this. Paul knows who you know Timothy, you know Timothy, you know who Timothy is. He was a young pastor, young pastor that Paul trained.

[01:12:36]So pay attention to this. Look, look, look, look, look. Paul speaking of what? About who?

[01:12:46]About Timothy's grandmother Lois and his mother Ununice.

[01:12:54]Whoa. You understand? If you go to the beginning of the verse, he said he spoke of their faith in Christ.

[01:13:02]Faith. Why? Because the believing they believe in the teaching. They believe the faith.

[01:13:11]This the words come into their life.

[01:13:14]Paul saw that and he spoke of them. He identified their faith.

[01:13:21]People do they talk about you the same way.

[01:13:26]I mean Christians, believers here, stop feeling bad.

[01:13:31]We fail sometimes.

[01:13:34]Don't feel bad.

[01:13:38]Why are you feeling that way? We worship the awesome God, powerful God.

[01:13:48]God is powerful. He's going to help us, >> right?

[01:13:56]Don't sit there going, I can't do it. What? Where is the Holy Spirit? You have the Holy Spirit in you, don't you? Okay, then don't worry. If you fail, God will help you. Listen, God will love his children. He doesn't forsake his children. He will be with his children and supporting them and giving them up and giving them his word.

[01:14:28]We're going to start again. Lord, thank you.

[01:14:35]And I'm going to add something else here. I'm going to add something else.

[01:14:40]We tend to sign church.

[01:14:44]We sign We tend to sign church. Okay.

[01:14:47]But I'm going to change that. I'm going to change that for everyone here. I'm going to change it. Are you ready? I'm going to change it. We are what?

[01:14:57]B R I D E. Want to say it again? B R I D E.

[01:15:11]What does that mean to you? What does that mean?

[01:15:17]We the church are we are are the bride.

[01:15:28]That's us.

[01:15:30]Jesus Christ is my husband.

[01:15:36]Pay attention. Pay attention. Pay attention. This is interesting.

[01:15:44]Okay. Let me help you.

[01:15:46]My wife is my bride. Right. Right. Right. Okay.

[01:15:55]Now if a person hurts my wife, how do I feel?

[01:16:03]Offended. Okay. No, no, no. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:16:06]Yeah. If a person hurts my wife, right?

[01:16:09]Barbie says defleated, I'll feel hurt.

[01:16:12]Right. If any person, you husbands, any person speaks negatively about your wife, you'll feel hurt. Right. Right.

[01:16:20]Right. Okay. And now think, we as Christians are saved.

[01:16:28]We criticize each other.

[01:16:32]We gossip about Jesus Christ's bride.

[01:16:38]Do you understand me? Do you understand?

[01:16:40]We criticize Jesus Christ bride.

[01:16:48]You are the bride. If I talk bad about her, how would Jesus feel? Hurt.

[01:17:00]We are the bride people. We hurt Jesus Christ.

[01:17:08]Do you understand with me?

[01:17:12]Try not to hurt each other. You are called the bride.

[01:17:21]Jesus is my husband.

[01:17:24]He's protecting me. He loves me.

[01:17:29]Do you understand?

[01:17:31]Wives, your husband belongs to Jesus, too.

[01:17:38]Wives, please try to control your mouth.

[01:17:44]Husbands, love your wives.

[01:17:50]Be patient with your wife. And husbands, sometimes the wives are get emotional.

[01:17:56]And you husbands have to be patient and understanding.

[01:18:11]God, a godly mother builds the home.

[01:18:16]She shows Jesus Christ's holiness in the home.

[01:18:23]A mother, her faith influences generations. Why? You're saying, "Pastor, what do you mean? If if my wife her faith is passed on to Beth and Beth will pass it on to her son, her son grows up, her son passes on to another person.

[01:18:48]It depends on how we live for Christ.

[01:18:53]Okay. A mother's teach.

[01:18:58]Oh, mother teaches.

[01:19:01]Okay, listen this.

[01:19:05]She's not going to understand all of it, but she's going to take the word, study it little by little. What does this mean? Okay, Lord, help me understand this. And then the mom, what does she do? She studies the word. And then the mom, once she understands, the mother teaches by example.

[01:19:28]That's how it works.

[01:19:30]But moms, you have a responsibility to be in the word every day. I just told you the moms go to the same kitchen table every day. Sits and prays. And the family sees that. Oh, mom, you're still there. You're still there. Mom, what are you doing? Mom is saying, I'm praying for you. Praying for me. I'm praying for the family. There's one, the husband.

[01:19:58]Love. I love this husband. He's cool.

[01:20:00]Every morning at 500 a.m. the husband at 5:00 a.m. Every morning he goes out out and the son was concerned. He was like, "My father is leaving at 5:00 a.m.

[01:20:20]All right." So the son decides when the father leaves, he says, "Dad, dad, oh my goodness, you scared me. What happened?" He said, "Dad, what are you doing?

[01:20:35]Why are you leaving at 5:00 a.m.?"

[01:20:38]And the father says, "Oh, son, I go and pray and God's word. You know why?

[01:20:53]Why, God?

[01:20:57]I don't want to mess up my life. I don't want to. I want to show Christ to you and my sweet wife. That's why.

[01:21:09]And the son says, "Thanks, Dad, for telling me." And the son grew up and he got married. He had children. And he did the same as his father.

[01:21:24]Wow.

[01:21:27]You see, it's an example. It's not what you do in the church. It's out there.

[01:21:33]People watching you. You touch their hearts. Maybe there's a husband that says, "My wife, you know, my wife prays.

[01:21:41]She loves Jesus." Oh, really? Yes. Yes.

[01:21:45]My wife. Her attitude is different.

[01:21:49]Oh, well, thank you for telling me.

[01:21:55]Moms, I love you, but how is your attitude at home?

[01:22:02]How is the attitude at home? Is your attitude good?

[01:22:07]Can your husband say, "My wife, oh, she's great. She has self-control."

[01:22:14]Just asking. Just asking.

[01:22:21]Children often remember a praying mother. Often they never forget. They watch they watch their mother watch her over and over. They don't forget. They watch their mom. They see their mom that they that she loves Jesus. Wow. You love Jesus.

[01:22:46]The greatest gift a mother can give is Christ means that she shows she teaches Christ to her family. A mother listen mothers you cannot save your children and bring them to the Lord. You can't.

[01:23:10]You can't. But she will help them point to Jesus her life showing Christ. Her children's watch. She said they say, "Oh, my mom is worshiping Jesus Christ."

[01:23:23]They watch her. The greatest legacy is not money or success. Some of you moms are like, "I need to be successful. I need money. I need a lot of money."

[01:23:36]But it's faith. That's it.

[01:23:39]following Jesus and you will become a winner.

[01:23:51]And maybe there's some moms here maybe that don't know Jesus as Lord. Maybe you moms, you know that your life, your someday your heart will stop. You know that your heart will stop beating and you will die. You will.

[01:24:17]But there is a a true court.

[01:24:22]They have it up there.

[01:24:26]Are you ready, moms?

[01:24:28]Moms, be honest. Are you ready?

[01:24:34]And maybe there's a mom here that says, "I'm not a Christian. I'm not saved.

[01:24:40]My life has been changed. I'm the same mother.

[01:24:46]The same mother that quickly forgives, quickly helps the sick, quickly reads God's word, quickly prays.

[01:24:55]How Mom, there's a mom simply told her husband that Jesus changed my life.

[01:25:07]Can you say that?

[01:25:10]Can you say right now with your with your hands that Jesus changed my life?

[01:25:24]God is speaking to you.

[01:25:30]and you need to talk and pray, come. You want to talk to him.

[01:25:38]I need him.

[01:25:41]I need him every day. I can't I can't do this alone.

[01:25:49]I was talking to the Lord today and I told the Lord, "I feel down, Lord. I don't like what I've done. I don't like what I think. I don't like the way I talk to you." Told the Lord, I don't like it.

[01:26:14]I told the Lord, "I want to love my wife.

[01:26:18]her going through sickness and all the health issues. My wife, her eyes have decreased and I want to love you.

[01:26:37]You are his bride.

[01:26:42]Means we have to be careful to not kill each other, stab each other's backs.

[01:26:52]Jesus is my husband.

[01:26:58]Moms, you can do it with him. Moms, you can do it. Those of you wives who don't have children, wives, you can do it, too.

[01:27:24]Just trust him.

[01:27:26]Be faithful. Continue to follow him. And don't let you discouragement control you, negativity control you. Please, moms, wives, don't let it control you.

[01:27:38]Jesus doesn't want you to think that.

[01:27:40]Jesus wants you to think of him. Let's pray. Father, we thank you so much again for your word. Thank you for the teaching and thank you that we are celebrating moms, wives.

[01:27:57]Help them, Lord. Help them to be faithful. Help guide the wives to you.
