As our teacher, Pastor Landis Fisher continues our series on Marriage & Family, today he teaches a special message about the urgencies of speaking the things that God has said in His infallible Word to undergird the foundation of all things that pertain to this life. Also, this message begins the individual instruction beginning with the admonition to the “Wives”. Listen in as we hear this thought provoking message titled: “Speaking With Faith for Building Your Family”
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Proverbs 18:21 – 24 (KJV)
Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Pro 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
Pro 18:23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
Pro 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
New Testament Scripture Reading: Ephesians 5:20 – 24 (KJV)
Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) All the things that we see in the material world and even the things we cannot see in the invisible, physical world and also the things that exist in the spiritual world, exist because of the spoken word (decree) of the Most High God, Creator of all things; and provide us a witness of the power of speaking with faith.
2) As we exist as members of God’s successful family, we must learn to allow out speech to reflect our acquired faith, (the result of our discipleship, ) to regulate the words we say about everything we are dealing with in this life, and therefore, we must speak the victory God has stated for us and not the things the world, the flesh and the devil assert against us in order to disturb our peace in Christ Jesus.
3) Since God has spoken in the text to “Ladies first” let us break the ice with the things God has said to “Wives” who are commanded to submit themselves to their “Own Husbands” as unto the Lord, keeping in mind that these commands are only for the ones who have ears to hear what the Spirit saith to the churches, no one else.
