Perhaps you could speak about divorce and remarriage? This is something the church is silent about these days. I have included a few of my notes below in case you are interested. Remarriage while your original spouse is alive (if you were their original spouse) is adultery. Repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN and SINNING NO MORE - thus getting out of the adulterous remarriage. We would not say a homosexual marriage is okay if they continue to stay married, neither is an adulterous remarriage okay by staying in it. This is how God feels about divorce: "And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord , the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord , and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?" Malachi 2:13-17 KJV Only the book of Matthew contains the "except for fornication" permission to divorce, as only the book of Matthew was specifically written for the Jews and the Jewish culture understood that this "fornication" meant sexual unfaithfulness in the betrothal/engagement period (not after the marriage was consummated by sexual union between the husband and wife). An example of this is shown where Joseph wanted to DIVORCE the mother of Jesus, Mary, before they had consummated their marriage as it appeared that she had been unfaithful as she was pregnant prior to having sex with Joseph. "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (sexually), she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS." - Matthew 1:18-25 KJV (Jesus speaking) "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (the Greek word "porneia"), causeth her to commit adultery (the Greek word "moicheia") and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." - Matthew 5:31-32 KJV (Jesus speaking) "I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." - Matthew 19:9 KJV Note no fornication clause in the rest of the gospels, because it was specifically written to the gentiles which did not have the strict betrothal customs like the Jews: (Jesus speaking) "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." - Luke 16:18 KJV (Jesus speaking) "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." - Mark 10:11-12 KJV The ONLY permission for remarriage is the death of the original spouse: (Paul speaking) "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man." - Romans 7:2-3 KJV Lastly, abandonment by a spouse does not allow remarriage to another. You must either reconcile or stay unmarried. (Paul speaking) "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage (to perform the marital duties - this does not allow remarriage) in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" - 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 KJV John the Baptist took the divorce and remarriage adultery so serious, that he lost his head over it via decapitation by Herod: "But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife." Mark 6:16-18 KJV Of all the laws in the Old Testament, Paul emphasized only four - and abstaining from sexual immorality (which is what remarriage is while your original spouse is alive) is one of them: (Paul speaking) "For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well." Acts 15:28-29 KJV Having children in an adulterous remarriage does not make it any less important to exit that adulterous remarriage as shown in Ezra 10 where they the people had to repent (stop being a part of) unlawful marriages, some of which resulted in offspring ("All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children." Ezra 10:44 KJV). Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell: (Paul speaking) "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV (Continues in the comment below)
In Jeremiah 3 God is directly referring to Deuteronomy 24 - it is referring to God putting Israel, His wife, away. And he goes AGAINST Deut. 24 and tells her to come back to Him - even after she then "becomes another man's": 'They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord .' Jeremiah 3:1 KJV In the SAME chapter, God gives her a bill of DIVORCE: "And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also." Jeremiah 3:8 KJV Still in the same chapter, AFTER God has given her a bill of divorce, He states that he is STILL married to her - the bill of divorce therefore did not nullify their marriage: "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:" Jeremiah 3:14 KJV Jeremiah 3 shows that God is not following Deuteronomy 24's divorce law - because He does not have a hard heart. That law applied to the Israelites, who had hard hearts, under Moses' leadership. Jesus also says that this law in Deuteronomy 24 was given for those under Moses due to their hard hearts. He clearly says that He does not give us that permission - we are not to have hard hearts, but we are to forgive our husbands/wives and wait for them to repent and reconcile with them when they sin against us. "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Matthew 19:8-9 KJV "Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” Matthew 18:21-35 NKJV (note that this chapter is the chapter directly before Jesus' teaching of divorce due to hardness of heart) Praise God that He does not divorce us and marry another. When He puts us away or divorces us, He waits for us to repent and reconcile with Him. Praise God that His heart is not hard. Beg God to give you a heart of flesh to forgive your covenant husband/wife, 490 times (seventy times seven times), lest He not forgive you on Judgment Day for your trespasses against Him, which I assure you are much, much greater than 490. Divorce with adulterous remarriage is for the hard hearted. Woe to you if you are counted amongst the hard hearted on Judgment Day: "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;" Romans 2:5 KJV A hard heart is evidence that the Spirit of God is not in that person: "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26 KJV
Here are a few video links in case you want more info (I also have a playlist dedicated to this on my channel with over 70 videos about this): ua-cam.com/video/LjW3CwfgD3E/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/c0y39U1srKw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/kWfy-8Z7AdI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/SpKNBw4j_6o/v-deo.html
I found your channel while searching for men in the church videos. Your video from 3 years ago, “The Importance of Men in the Church” was very insightful and made some excellent points. I was wondering if you would find it interesting to revisit this subject and speak on whether, in the 3 years hence, you have seen any improvement or general change on this issue in the UK church. The absence of men in the church is a subject that comes up frequently in the US and what’s interesting is that there is a lot of variance amongst the denominations, with some doing an excellent job of reaching men and others having a shocking absence of men and younger congregants in general. The reasons for this are complex and varied enough that they cause some debate on the subject. Many thanks!
Godly wife/teaching the faith to children/forgiveness/and what you mentioned about taking thoughts captive. Great about your husband's channel! I subscribed, beautiful worship!
It's good news that your husband has started his own Christian UA-cam channel. I will take a look. I wonder if your thinking of bringing back testimony Tuesday. Its good that you've started to post reguraly again. I did wonder how you were getting on. May God continue to bless you & your family. 😇
You mentioned 'the enemy... Would you say something about how the recognise the enemy, how to know you are being influenced by the enemy, and what to do. I struggle with greed and lust... I often fail. Thank you.
I'd love a video on preparing for marriage and how to be a godly wife...also a special request of mine this pleaseeee could you show us your babies...Sofia grace must be a big lady by now.
Besides testimony tuesdays I always loved you talking about spiritual things like spiritual warfare. Marriage advice would be a good one since most churches are so bland on the topic.
I would like a video on how Christian’s can keep their faith while grieving over the loss of a loved one if you are comfortable with that topic. And I’d like to know your thoughts on heaven. I know the Bible doesn’t say much about heaven but since my mom is now in heaven I’ve been thinking more about it. So I think a grieving/heaven video would be nice. ♥️
Your audio is very quiet. Some video software will can help you raise volume levels while trying to avoid going in to the red (distortion), also a kind of audio compression called "limiting" which boosts the audio also (my vid software lets me compress with my own settings to properly 'limit' the audio). An iphone does all of this automatically usually, plus really good mics and image quality, and highly functional and easy editing. Even just the humble iphone 6. CEX( WEBUY, the mail-order CEX website, sell them for about £150 2nd hand and you get a 2 year warranty (exchange for a voucher of the same value; they don't repair). But if you've got the cash I would seriously recommend going to the iphone 8 plus (about £300) as it's a major step up (plus a much better battery situation, as an i6 will be near the end) with optical image stabilisation and the portrait (2nd) lens makes fantastic kiddie portraits no need for a pro photographer haha. examples: www.google.com/search?q=iphone+8+plus+portrait+child+-nikon
crap I just imported an iphone vid and the audio is not loud. I'll return to this after a bit of a dig to work out if there's a decent solution to this
ok, imovie DOES boost the audio with a limiter but you have to do this manually after recording, boringly. Edit the clip, tap a frame, the options bar appears with a volume adjuster, which goes to 500%, and that's the limiter. 500% may seem impossible but it's audio compression for which it makes complete sense (and no distortion). Then you save it and it will process the video boosting the audio. There are Export, File and Save options, and it looks like only Save processes it. Not sure.
LORD JESUS IS COMING 🙏 ! Thessalonians 4 : 16-17 , Church Rapture ! Revelation 19 : 7-8 , LORD JESUS is Coming back on Earth 🌍 with us (Second coming) ! We are JESUS bride 👰 ! Read Bible and Be ready .
How to live in the spirit of God without loosing your love for Him. I remember you said at one time you were going to church several times a week for several hours. As time has passed how has your relationship with the Lord changed? For better or worse would love to know. Thanks sister take care God bless you and your family.
I would love a video on how to get back that fire in our hearts we had when we first believed once we lost it and how to love Jesus and be passionate for Him. But it would even be better if u ask the Holy Spirit about what video He would like you to do, it would be more fruitful since He knows what's best😊
I discovered someone called Tiaan Gildenhuys...he is covering topic of warfare and some demonic spirits and what they do to you and how get free. Good topics.💯.. Also for Ieva and anyone else - I can suggest his content. I will put my video request here too - please make a video about what to do and where it comes , the major lazyness and that is including major spiritual lazyness.. this is for myself ...Is very very hard for me to pray...to begin and don't get distracted during it...pls share insights or anything really you can say about it.. Or Other topic - experience with Spirit of accusation . Accusations rising against God. many thanks 🌻
keep up the great work... god bless you ieva 🥰😊
Glad to see you again sister! Maybe a timely video would be standing firm in the faith. God Bless you guys and those adorable babes in Jesus name ♥️🙏🏼
Well, what to do when nothing speaks to you? God is silent and has been for years now. Every "spiritual" activity has ceased. Prayers do nothing.
In the same boat, maybe do fasting
Perhaps you could speak about divorce and remarriage? This is something the church is silent about these days. I have included a few of my notes below in case you are interested.
Remarriage while your original spouse is alive (if you were their original spouse) is adultery. Repentance requires STOPPING THE SIN and SINNING NO MORE - thus getting out of the adulterous remarriage. We would not say a homosexual marriage is okay if they continue to stay married, neither is an adulterous remarriage okay by staying in it.
This is how God feels about divorce:
"And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord , the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord , and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?"
Malachi 2:13-17 KJV
Only the book of Matthew contains the "except for fornication" permission to divorce, as only the book of Matthew was specifically written for the Jews and the Jewish culture understood that this "fornication" meant sexual unfaithfulness in the betrothal/engagement period (not after the marriage was consummated by sexual union between the husband and wife). An example of this is shown where Joseph wanted to DIVORCE the mother of Jesus, Mary, before they had consummated their marriage as it appeared that she had been unfaithful as she was pregnant prior to having sex with Joseph.
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (sexually), she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS." - Matthew 1:18-25 KJV
(Jesus speaking) "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (the Greek word "porneia"), causeth her to commit adultery (the Greek word "moicheia") and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." - Matthew 5:31-32 KJV
(Jesus speaking) "I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." - Matthew 19:9 KJV
Note no fornication clause in the rest of the gospels, because it was specifically written to the gentiles which did not have the strict betrothal customs like the Jews:
(Jesus speaking) "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." - Luke 16:18 KJV
(Jesus speaking) "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." - Mark 10:11-12 KJV
The ONLY permission for remarriage is the death of the original spouse:
(Paul speaking) "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man." - Romans 7:2-3 KJV
Lastly, abandonment by a spouse does not allow remarriage to another. You must either reconcile or stay unmarried.
(Paul speaking) "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage (to perform the marital duties - this does not allow remarriage) in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" - 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 KJV
John the Baptist took the divorce and remarriage adultery so serious, that he lost his head over it via decapitation by Herod:
"But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."
Mark 6:16-18 KJV
Of all the laws in the Old Testament, Paul emphasized only four - and abstaining from sexual immorality (which is what remarriage is while your original spouse is alive) is one of them:
(Paul speaking) "For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well."
Acts 15:28-29 KJV
Having children in an adulterous remarriage does not make it any less important to exit that adulterous remarriage as shown in Ezra 10 where they the people had to repent (stop being a part of) unlawful marriages, some of which resulted in offspring ("All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children." Ezra 10:44 KJV).
Staying in an adulterous remarriage can take you to hell:
(Paul speaking) "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
(Continues in the comment below)
In Jeremiah 3 God is directly referring to Deuteronomy 24 - it is referring to God putting Israel, His wife, away. And he goes AGAINST Deut. 24 and tells her to come back to Him - even after she then "becomes another man's":
'They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord .'
Jeremiah 3:1 KJV
In the SAME chapter, God gives her a bill of DIVORCE:
"And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also."
Jeremiah 3:8 KJV
Still in the same chapter, AFTER God has given her a bill of divorce, He states that he is STILL married to her - the bill of divorce therefore did not nullify their marriage:
"Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:"
Jeremiah 3:14 KJV
Jeremiah 3 shows that God is not following Deuteronomy 24's divorce law - because He does not have a hard heart. That law applied to the Israelites, who had hard hearts, under Moses' leadership.
Jesus also says that this law in Deuteronomy 24 was given for those under Moses due to their hard hearts. He clearly says that He does not give us that permission - we are not to have hard hearts, but we are to forgive our husbands/wives and wait for them to repent and reconcile with them when they sin against us.
"He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Matthew 19:8-9 KJV
"Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”
Matthew 18:21-35 NKJV (note that this chapter is the chapter directly before Jesus' teaching of divorce due to hardness of heart)
Praise God that He does not divorce us and marry another. When He puts us away or divorces us, He waits for us to repent and reconcile with Him. Praise God that His heart is not hard. Beg God to give you a heart of flesh to forgive your covenant husband/wife, 490 times (seventy times seven times), lest He not forgive you on Judgment Day for your trespasses against Him, which I assure you are much, much greater than 490.
Divorce with adulterous remarriage is for the hard hearted. Woe to you if you are counted amongst the hard hearted on Judgment Day:
"But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;"
Romans 2:5 KJV
A hard heart is evidence that the Spirit of God is not in that person:
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."
Ezekiel 36:26 KJV

Godly wife/teaching the faith to children/forgiveness/and what you mentioned about taking thoughts captive. Great about your husband's channel! I subscribed, beautiful worship!
How amazing!!! I'm always so encouraged when I see godly men stepping up to share!!!
I have subscribed to your husband's channel. Thank you for telling me. He is a great singer. God's grace is on you snd your family.
It's good news that your husband has started his own Christian UA-cam channel. I will take a look. I wonder if your thinking of bringing back testimony Tuesday. Its good that you've started to post reguraly again. I did wonder how you were getting on.
May God continue to bless you & your family. 😇
You mentioned 'the enemy... Would you say something about how the recognise the enemy, how to know you are being influenced by the enemy, and what to do.
I struggle with greed and lust... I often fail.
Thank you.
I'd love a video on preparing for marriage and how to be a godly wife...also a special request of mine this pleaseeee could you show us your babies...Sofia grace must be a big lady by now.
Thank you for your videos May the holy spirit and our Lord and savior and the father always give you most blessings in your life!
topics:
forgivness (always on time)
how to endure in the faith, how to overcome the world
I hope your family is safe...
Besides testimony tuesdays I always loved you talking about spiritual things like spiritual warfare. Marriage advice would be a good one since most churches are so bland on the topic.
I second spiritual warfare
I would like a video on how Christian’s can keep their faith while grieving over the loss of a loved one if you are comfortable with that topic. And I’d like to know your thoughts on heaven. I know the Bible doesn’t say much about heaven but since my mom is now in heaven I’ve been thinking more about it. So I think a grieving/heaven video would be nice. ♥️
Your audio is very quiet. Some video software will can help you raise volume levels while trying to avoid going in to the red (distortion), also a kind of audio compression called "limiting" which boosts the audio also (my vid software lets me compress with my own settings to properly 'limit' the audio). An iphone does all of this automatically usually, plus really good mics and image quality, and highly functional and easy editing. Even just the humble iphone 6. CEX( WEBUY, the mail-order CEX website, sell them for about £150 2nd hand and you get a 2 year warranty (exchange for a voucher of the same value; they don't repair). But if you've got the cash I would seriously recommend going to the iphone 8 plus (about £300) as it's a major step up (plus a much better battery situation, as an i6 will be near the end) with optical image stabilisation and the portrait (2nd) lens makes fantastic kiddie portraits no need for a pro photographer haha. examples: www.google.com/search?q=iphone+8+plus+portrait+child+-nikon
crap I just imported an iphone vid and the audio is not loud. I'll return to this after a bit of a dig to work out if there's a decent solution to this
ok, imovie DOES boost the audio with a limiter but you have to do this manually after recording, boringly. Edit the clip, tap a frame, the options bar appears with a volume adjuster, which goes to 500%, and that's the limiter. 500% may seem impossible but it's audio compression for which it makes complete sense (and no distortion). Then you save it and it will process the video boosting the audio. There are Export, File and Save options, and it looks like only Save processes it. Not sure.

How to live in the spirit of God without loosing your love for Him. I remember you said at one time you were going to church several times a week for several hours. As time has passed how has your relationship with the Lord changed? For better or worse would love to know. Thanks sister take care God bless you and your family.
Yes definitely interested in his channel. Please speak on thought life and marriage. God bless you both!
I would love a video on how to get back that fire in our hearts we had when we first believed once we lost it and how to love Jesus and be passionate for Him. But it would even be better if u ask the Holy Spirit about what video He would like you to do, it would be more fruitful since He knows what's best😊
The heart of the Lord is mercy love kindness removed our wrong doing as far as the east is from the west he alive and very well ✨🇱🇷🥀 hi again
