I allowed the culture to manipulate me into believing the lies Voddie talks about in these messages. I was extremely selfish, I wanted a career, nice things, money and status. I am married to the man I "fell" in love with when I was 16 years old. I was rebellious to my parents and moved out on my own, and after I got married I wanted the worlds view of "equality" in this marriage. Almost 4 years into our marriage, we were still happy but did not do God's will, we have no children. However, we have both been called by God, and allowed God to change our hearts. We have, not of ourselves but by work of the Holy Spirit, changed our entire life. I know this is of the Holy Spirit because I was extremely selfish and hated kids as the world had taught me to, but now, I long to be submissive to my husband, have a family and do the Lords will. Praise God for sending us His word, and thank God for a faithful servant such as Voddie for preaching the truth.
Amen, isn't it wonderful?!!! The Holy Spirit did the same for me & my best friend! We are both servants of The Almighty Lord Jesus Christ! We both were selfish and now are both the epitome of unselfishness! I know that all of my family and friends are happy that the Almighty God(all three father, son, spirit) changed us. I'm single, she's still in a relationship with a very selfish person which we have tried to bring to Christ but after he got mad and said f - you and f - your God; that was it for him... You can't make a horse drink the water, even after you bring him to the pool. God bless you all, and remember to never, never, EVER deny or betray Christ, no matter what happens to you or what you go through! Christ is always there for you waiting with loving arms! Give up your pride, it will kill you in the end! Hopefully he will come to Christ. May God bless you.
What a Blessing 🙏 on your Life I've been listening to Voddie's Sermons and Studies he's good been doing it a long time and it shows unfortunately I myself am not married don't have children and don't see it happening realistically plus I'm getting old and would not want a marriage or children unless it is Blessed the way I'm learning in Christ and I can accept that honestly wouldn't want it any other way and God still has a lot of work to do with me and I have a lot to do with him I'm working on that which I've struggled with understanding I've come to point where I've limeted myself with time wasted and I accept that now is mine and his time plus if it did happen I would want to be ready I would recommend Voddie Baucham to anyone planning on getting married or who are Pastor Baucham has become one of a number of favorite Pastors who speak on a variety of subjects all centered around the Scriptures in Christ Thank You Father Son and Holy 🙏 Spirit in Christ Jesus and Bless You and your Family Amen you obviously have been Praise God Thank you for sharing
My husband asked me to marry him 2 weeks after we met. 4 weeks later we were married. We just celebrated 23 years April 20th❤❤❤. We're blessed with 4 beautiful children 22, 19, 10 and 8. GOD is good!!!!
I am married to an Athiest for over 18 years now. A very good kind man. There is not a day I do not pray un my heart for him to believe I Jesus. I know he never does. But I keep loving and praying for him. When we married we both were non believers, then I found christ. Now, we are equally not yoked in spiritual realm. But I am not giving up on him. He will accept christ one day. Amen.
I pray he changes so that he can help you raise up kingdom warriors. My wife prayed for me for years that I truly gave my life to Christ. It can happen he just needs to humble himself to God.
Living in CA listening to this great pastor who teaches us about scriptures. No matter what color or political side you fall on or how much money you have. In church we are together as brother and sisters. Only outside of church is there division and a lot of hatred.
My husband and I were married when I was 20 he was 21. We didn't like each other at one point, divorced was discussed often. Prayer, faith, prayer, determination and prayer from both of us, helped us through. Today, 18 years of marriage, we are more in love than we've ever been. Praise and glory to God. No marriage will make it without God, order, prayer, faith, self reflection, willingness to be better and limitless forgiveness
I really appreciate Voddie. My hubby had just turned 19 and I was all of 17. That was 50 and a half years ago. You must put God in the middle of your marriage. We made a covenant with God and God kept us together.
I don't think this should be listened to once. You need to listen to this a couple of times & pray that God fashions you into the helper you need to be for your husband and be the husband you need to be for your wife. The couple you need to be for the Kingdom. This is such a beautiful teaching and has helped me so much. Love it.
Yes! I’m just seeing your comment and this is my 5th time watching this. Currently praying and doing fasting from time to time before courting my potential spouse
Praise God. Wait on the Lord and earnestly...earnestly...pursue His peace when considering a mate. I jus twon't, can't, and nor do I have the power to pursue marriage with a woman that has not the Spirit of God indwelling in her through a born again relationship with our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. We are NOT to be unequally yoked.

My husband and I have been together since I was 18 and was actually living together and I got pregnant ! I have always felt guilty and wanted to please God and not live in sin anymore. Anyways, the pastor was against it and it was hung over my head for years that he wasn’t suppose to marry me . We could had gotten divorced many years ago but I kept praying and repented and have been married going on 23 years. We both had to learn what marriage really is suppose to be about. Understanding God’s purpose outweighs everything in a marriage . Everything voddie is saying is so true. Leaning on God has kept us together and when he was made the center everything changed for the good. God is good and his word is truth! Marriage ain’t no joke and it’s so sad how society doesn’t value or see the true meaning of marriage.
My fiancé and I did life backwards. We got caught up in the ways or the world. We had kids first, moved in together then go engaged. I finally truly found God recently and I’m trying to lead my fiancé to Him as well. He’s open to it but he’s a little skeptical. But I will continue to work and to pray for him. God bless you all. And God bless this man and his teachings. He has such a gift!!
Not sure where you are located but find you a spiritually healthy, expository church (if you haven’t already) and try to connect with even another couple, even if they’re a little older, that has the wisdom to speak into your lives. It helps so much. Also, a great movie I’ve seen recently is Like Arrows on Pure Flix. But have your tissues ready - what a heartfelt tear-jerker. I was drawn to your response and will pray over both of you. ❤
Pureflix will help. I can vouch for that. Also look at Jimmy Evans sermons. It is vital he has a message that forces him to reflect on his entirety to find where he has sinned so he can repent and turn to Jesus asking for forgiveness so he can turn to Jesus as his lord and saviour because you can help your husband but only Jesus can do what Jesus can do. ✝️💜🙏
I know you have kids so this is going to hurt and probably make you angry, but you can not marry him. You have to leave him. God does not want you unequally yolked. You are sinning, and will be sinning if you marry him. I am speaking to you as a woman 20 years on the other side. You will be spiritually alone for the rest of your life, you will never truly be able to share your heart or the most precious things because they all involve God. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can make him be a Christian. Raising your children will be a constant battle because he is ruled by Satan. As you get older and grow in maturity, you will want a man to lead you and lead your children in God’s word to teach them God’s ways and that will never happen. So, you will try to teach them all that is in the scriptures yourself and it will clash daily with what they see their father doing, he will look evil to them. You may have to hide the teaching of the Word from your husband because he will eventually get angry that you’re teaching the children that he’s going to hell. You will spend your life trying to submit to a man who ruled by the world. You will struggle every day with resentment because your children will never have what God intended them to have. And if he decides he’s had enough and wants to divorce you, the Bible says because you’re an equally yoked, you have to let him go. The Bible does not say to marry someone because you get pregnant. You are not sinning if you break up with a man you are not married to. It does not say to marry someone because you’re in love with them or because you’ve invested so many years living with them. I have six children; four are atheist, one is transgender, one is lesbian, one agnostic, and one young Christian ( the transgender also professed Christianity when young) who is too scared to get baptized because of Dad. And dad’s a really good guy by a secular standard.
It’s unfortunate that they don’t teach this in the church. Grew up in the church and never heard a sermon on love and marriage or the role of wife or husband. I am incredibly grateful to God for these teachings so we can pass this to our children and their children. And they can be prepared for marriage God’s way.
I am so thankful for brother voddie baucham. Ladies, please listen to him. He prays the word. Do not settle for disobedience, but instead in prayer ask God to give you the patience to wait for the man he has for you. Ladies the consequences of disobedience is heartache 💔 😢 please, listen to m, I know because I have been there. I tried telling God what is good for me and I paid the consequences. I pray for all of you, young sisters, that God will guide your steps and live your lives by HIS will. Amen
For all singles, male and female, this is a premarital lesson. Take heed. For those already married, save this message for your sons and daughters. It's worth listening to.
Praise the Lord a rare thing in this day in age a real bible teaching Preacher , the world needs more like him specially in America , our country is a cesspool she has defiled herself ,with false doctrine
Yes, stay with that desire. The ways of the world will try to tell you otherwise but we have been set apart for Him and so we should love for Him our Savior.
I met a nice man and he's desiring marriage. At 47, after many relationships Ive finally have the desire to be married. God gave me this vision. I've been praying on the situation with this new man that I've only known a month now. I've been online searching for information on marriage. I didn't find a sermon that fed my spirit, so i fell asleep and woke up to this service on UA-cam (God is a miracle worker) I needed this!! God's plan is the only way. Btw I took notes. Thank you for blessing me with this sermon. God Bless you and yours Pastor Voddie Baucham 🙏🏾
I am that man that looked at love as this greco roman way. Its caused so much turmoil in life and our relationship. My eyes are open. Thank you vonnie. I am going to pray and work harder then ever to lead with will. I love my wife so much. Shes such a good soul and deserves better
Hey Voddie, me and my wife meet in early September, went on one date. I asked her to marry me and she said yes. We got married in January. I had a list like you said, she also was so much more than I prayed for.
Amen! I love my brother Voddie, what a man of God to look up to. Very intelligent, funny, and wise! Love all my brothers and sisters in Christ! Stay blessed!
Pastor Voddie you are spot on with Another wise message.my name is Wayne I am 72 years old I was married twice before to the wrong women . But 24 years ago I met The right woman a beautiful Christian lady I didn't even deserve But God is so gracious that he blessed A sinner like me. Didn't have a real good chance to raise my children righteously But I didn't miss the chance to bring righteousness into the life of my grandchildren . And now I live my life for Christ and I do have opportunities to share messages but I so appreciate your wisdom because I will take every opportunity to grasp it . Thank you Pastor Voddie thank you father God because you are the best thing ever happened to me. 🙏 ❤️Amen
I've struggled through my faith this last year and a half. Fought to keep it, and make my relationship with Christ, and submitting to His Word, my own... not just claiming it from what I grew up with in a Christian household my 20 years of life. Although I realize I am not financially able OR qualified for marriage yet... I do however realize that I am NOW Biblically qualified to pursue someone for marriage. Very thankful for this series.
I love this man as a Christian. I am sad however as listening to him makes me feel awful because my marriage failed and I don’t think I will ever experience that wonderful feeling he is describing. Thankfully my children have gone on to achieve it thanks be to God although my eldest after 28 years his wife had an affair and although he tried for six months to bring things back together she wouldn’t allow it. My heart broke for him.🌹
Send him this, he clearly was unequally yoked if she did that, and who knows what God has in store for him. 🤷🏻♀️ Also my mammal got remarried in her sixty's after my Pappal died who knows what God has in store for you.
I was not raised in a Christian home. Never had anyone around me loving Christ. Till I moved here to USA. Good for those born in good Christian homes with kind caring parents who adore Jesus. Good for them. What a pretty life they have.
I got married at 23 and my church folk thought it was because of an 'ooops baby'. They waited for four years for me to give birth😁. I found what I wanted too Dr Voddie.
Oh my, if everyone I know would invest 3 hours to watch this video. It is beyond words to describe the wisdom that I wish would have been available when I was in that stage of life. Unfortunately that was not the case.
So powerful I needed this in my season I am in this rocked my world! This is a must for every christian single to hear this I am sending this to all my friends!
Saving this and making my husband listen to it tonight while he’s at work. He says he will, so I’ll be quoting him on it. This was a well spent 3 hours for sure.
Amber Delivered thank you for that info on your marriage. Gives me hope. We’ve been together for 19 years (married this nov will be 12 years) and we have bad downs and some ups. Been a work In progress these last few years to get to a point of biblical marriage. More me striving for it than him. But hoping that changes and he gets fully on board too. I’ve watched many sermons on marriage and this video is the best one I’ve ever heard. To go through each process and each persons responsibility’s individually and then responsibilities together is what we need to hear. Lastly, thank you for the blessing. Please pray for us that we can keep working towards God’s idea of marriage. I’ll have you in mine also for continuous Godly obedience in yours also. May God keep you both and bless you today and all the days to come.
@@SweetTea-Stephens thank you so very much for your prayers. ! I can relate we have been married 8 and together 11. It started out the old fashioned worldly way and that made for a toxic union. I prayed and cried but I didnt know I needed some changing too and this came right on time. This is the best by far that I've found also. The more you focus on God and keep reading he can seen your obedience to the Lord and that is motivating as well to our spouses. We've watched this together twice. I thought we needed a refresher lol and I got new gems all over again. Maybe you both should watch it together. No distractions. 🙏
This is the best sermon I have EVER heard regarding marriage. I’m literally crying hearing this because I have two failed marriages. I was married first at 24 years, and second at 38 years and wish I heard this beforehand. I’m 54 now. In fact, I wish I was SAVED before my first marriage. Hearing this from Pastor Baucham made me reflect on my mistakes in choosing my husbands, and the signs I failed to see. And it made me reflect on myself as well… immaturity, selfishness, low self esteem and not having my father active in my life are also factors. The foundation of Family is a ministry in itself according to the Lord’s design. I was not ready for marriage. It is a serious thing and truly God’s ordained gift to us.
Me to have had a similar circumstances with similar reasons…but Gods word reads he is a forgiving God so once you confessed your sin you also have to repent from your sin and God will not know it no more! True we will still have to live with the consequences of our sin but that’s temporary because he will come back for us one day and we will be able to stand in his presence and say thank you for your grace and mercy ANDDDDDD forgiveness for I know what I did but when I found out I did transgress against you I repented and changed from my wicked ways🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I was made new by the blood of the lamb and you knew my sin no more hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah to God be the glory 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I just want to thank God for not letting me down ❤️it felt like all hope was lost after my parents divorced, but God came through on the cross and married me instead ❤️💯✝️ now that’s real love ✨🔥
I just broke up with my boyfriend and though it hurts, I know I made the right decision. I can't be half God and half world. Thank u for this video. I finally understand my purpose and when I realized it, I couldn't stop crying. I thank God for giving urself to Him and answering ur calling.
Praise God, I am 29 years old and still frustrated in terms of marriage. This sermon opened my eyes and convicts me to grow in Christ. Pastor Paul Washer' s sermons reffered me to Dr. Voddie' s sermons about marriage.
The truth in every area... God bless you.. It's a dire shame the church is so averse to the truth reflecting their own lives... It starts with us.. ❤️🙏🏿❤️
This is what you call identity preaching. This man has not walked in my shoes, but i truly believe he has the wisdom to have a greater understanding than most. He is so uplifting.
I was born with those characteristics, this sermon reopened my eyes to my natural... Now I plan to live with what was freely given to me never to lose it again!!!!!!!
So powerful Mistry, it pulled a lot of memories, trial's and regrets. Weighed my heart since I immature without crucial life skills to be indure my marriage bad thing's made me weep and didn't know differents want and need's until I finally as I was alienated from alot I still love, being selfish taking away Glory to Jesus betray his love and broke my promise. As a old man begging to get any redemption from my sin's trying to lift weight off my heart. This is exactly Holy Spirit want's open my conscience and lead me praise the Father Son and Holy Spirit daily. Verse Psalms 51 : 3 break's down my life and carry rest of my life and never forget to remind who control's my soul God created and gifted. Praise Lord who created anointed pastor Voddie Baucham so blessed to follow his brutal honesty always giving praise to God. Halluea 🙌 Amen? Let it be known!!!
Awesome biblical teaching! Definitely stomped on my toes, but that is what sound biblical teaching is supposed to do through the power of the Holy Spirit.
I always wished for what Voddie speaks about but didn’t come from this type of home life ( I wished I would have i could have had a different life ( I thank God and voddie for sharing truths about God the Bible and I wished I would have known different many many many years ago
@ Jason Hollis Children and family cannot save anyone from sexual temptations. Only regular sex can and will 1 Co 7:4/5 We get married for sex first and foremost.
My family don't like it when I talk about getting married, especially my mom. She either looks annoyed or worried or sceptical. It's like I grow three heads each time I mention it. Please pray for me because I really want to be married and to have kids, but I want it all to be in God's time. Not mine. Not my mom's. Not my dad's. But His time.
@ Natalie Chakwanda Does not your mother worry about your sexual needs ? To avoid fornication , let every man have his wife and every woman have her husband 1 Co 7:4 Where on earth has Biblical truth gone ? Girls today are more promiscuous than ever but they should not get married ??????????
@@framboise595 thats the thing, Isabelle, parents want working daughters more than they want married daughters. Married daughters are an investment wasted just for someone to become a housewife and care for her family 24/7, my mom is better at understanding why i want to be a stay at home mom, but breach the topic to my dad... a catastrophe waiting to happen
@@OkayMaybeImDoneNow... How can it be so ? People in the past ( a long time ago) wanted their daughters to be married to ensure them material protection and protection against sexual immorality . What have we become ?
Kindly keep it to yourself and God - your parents could be depending on you and they do not want you to leave. God will answer you and you will get married.
The topic of Love and Marriage could not have been contextually [Biblically] broken down as it was in this three-hour and fifteen minute clip. Only God knows how I wish I had access to this information many, many years ago. Unfortunately, I’ve contributed to the appalling statistics of divorce. Awesome teacher!
Im thankfully and pleased to sharei get happy jist thinking of my kids getting married , i dont push school nor academics, but them finding their God sent spouse and live a life God intendz them to,
This is so good teaching for a man and woman who would get married to hold on to and try to live in faitfullness and love for each other to fulfll a great life together in Christ rejecting the lies of the devil's divorce!! By allowing Christ to be the head of their lives
@ Lyn Augustine Yeah sure ! The reason why we get married is love !! Joke. To avoid fornication , let every man have his wife (..;) The reason why we get married is a sexual one. It has nothing to do with love. We are supposed to love the children of God adamantly . That does not mean we are going to marry them all ! Making marriage all about love is as insane as telling people to go to a restaurant and not eat there but just love the waiter and the customers !
I love how Voddie dismantles political correctness and the black lives matter movement as well as the woke movement. We need black men who are strong in the Lord who can stand up against so much idiocy in our political world, because if a white man stands up against it, he is automatically racist. We need more men like Voddie!!!
3:01:44 Wow, he nailed it with the reason for the seed of resentment I have as an only child toward my mom. I pray for her salvation daily, and praise God that He restored the relationship between my dad and me.
Who’s watching in 2024? All of his teaching in this series still stands true today🙌🏾

Anyways, the pastor was against it and it was hung over my head for years that he wasn’t suppose to marry me . We could had gotten divorced many years ago but I kept praying and repented and have been married going on 23 years. We both had to learn what marriage really is suppose to be about. Understanding God’s purpose outweighs everything in a marriage . Everything voddie is saying is so true. Leaning on God has kept us together and when he was made the center everything changed for the good. God is good and his word is truth! Marriage ain’t no joke and it’s so sad how society doesn’t value or see the true meaning of marriage.
Now, I’m looking forward to marriage. Thank YOU LORD.
😊🎉🎉me too
Yes, praise God :)
Vaudie broke this thing DOWN! Men, women and teenagers need to hear this!
My fiancé and I did life backwards. We got caught up in the ways or the world. We had kids first, moved in together then go engaged. I finally truly found God recently and I’m trying to lead my fiancé to Him as well. He’s open to it but he’s a little skeptical. But I will continue to work and to pray for him. God bless you all. And God bless this man and his teachings. He has such a gift!!
Not sure where you are located but find you a spiritually healthy, expository church (if you haven’t already) and try to connect with even another couple, even if they’re a little older, that has the wisdom to speak into your lives. It helps so much. Also, a great movie I’ve seen recently is Like Arrows on Pure Flix. But have your tissues ready - what a heartfelt tear-jerker. I was drawn to your response and will pray over both of you. ❤
Pureflix will help. I can vouch for that. Also look at Jimmy Evans sermons. It is vital he has a message that forces him to reflect on his entirety to find where he has sinned so he can repent and turn to Jesus asking for forgiveness so he can turn to Jesus as his lord and saviour because you can help your husband but only Jesus can do what Jesus can do. ✝️💜🙏
I know you have kids so this is going to hurt and probably make you angry, but you can not marry him.
You have to leave him.
God does not want you unequally yolked. You are sinning, and will be sinning if you marry him.
I am speaking to you as a woman 20 years on the other side.
You will be spiritually alone for the rest of your life, you will never truly be able to share your heart or the most precious things because they all involve God.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can make him be a Christian.
Raising your children will be a constant battle because he is ruled by Satan.
As you get older and grow in maturity, you will want a man to lead you and lead your children in God’s word to teach them God’s ways and that will never happen.
So, you will try to teach them all that is in the scriptures yourself and it will clash daily with what they see their father doing, he will look evil to them. You may have to hide the teaching of the Word from your husband because he will eventually get angry that you’re teaching the children that he’s going to hell.
You will spend your life trying to submit to a man who ruled by
the world.
You will struggle every day with resentment because your children will never have what God intended them to have.
And if he decides he’s had enough and wants to divorce you, the Bible says because you’re an equally yoked, you have to let him go.
The Bible does not say to marry someone because you get pregnant.
You are not sinning if you break up with a man you are not married to.
It does not say to marry someone because you’re in love with them or because you’ve invested so many years living with them.
I have six children; four are atheist, one is transgender, one is lesbian, one agnostic, and one young Christian ( the transgender also professed Christianity when young) who is too scared to get baptized because of Dad.
And dad’s a really good guy by a secular standard.
Lord I pray all the young hearing this will gleen from it the truth of the bonds of marriage before they make an error.
It’s unfortunate that they don’t teach this in the church. Grew up in the church and never heard a sermon on love and marriage or the role of wife or husband. I am incredibly grateful to God for these teachings so we can pass this to our children and their children. And they can be prepared for marriage God’s way.
This should be taught in more churches, but too many are wanting to conform to the world than to Christ the head of The Church.
I am so thankful for brother voddie baucham. Ladies, please listen to him. He prays the word. Do not settle for disobedience, but instead in prayer ask God to give you the patience to wait for the man he has for you. Ladies the consequences of disobedience is heartache 💔 😢 please, listen to m, I know because I have been there. I tried telling God what is good for me and I paid the consequences. I pray for all of you, young sisters, that God will guide your steps and live your lives by HIS will. Amen
that was WAAY too good! 3 hours well spent!
This man ofGod May the LORD CHRIST JESUS give us more teachers like this .
Amen to that!!! This is 🔥🔥🔥!
44 & never have been married but always felt I was meant to be....oh well, it's GODS will, married or not, I'll be happy🙆🙏😇
Amen to this.
Lord bless you. God is able. Hugs and prayers!
Praise the Lord as long as you ain't out here committing adultery and having sex outside of marriage this is beautiful too.
This is the best sermon Ive heard regarding marriage. It has helped me and my husband in more ways than possible.
For all singles, male and female, this is a premarital lesson. Take heed. For those already married, save this message for your sons and daughters. It's worth listening to.
The beauty of sound teaching is this. It’s timeless and applies universally. Thanks for posting.

"Make a fire in the fireplace and it warms the whole house let it out and it will consume everything in its path."
Amen
My God, what a powerful word. Lord, may we as individuals, families, and a society choose to learn more of You.
My thoughts exactly Nya G. This is an awesome teaching on marriage that ever single and married person should hear and study.
MARRIAGE WAS GODS IDEA!!
NOTS MANS IDEA!!! GOD ORDAINED
AMEN
In love everybody is happy
Praise the Lord a rare thing in this day in age a real bible teaching Preacher , the world needs more like him specially in America , our country is a cesspool she has defiled herself ,with false doctrine
This is sooo encouraging and makes me feel not crazy for desiring the biblical image of marriage, especially the part about prioritizing the home
Yes, stay with that desire. The ways of the world will try to tell you otherwise but we have been set apart for Him and so we should love for Him our Savior.
I met a nice man and he's desiring marriage. At 47, after many relationships Ive finally have the desire to be married. God gave me this vision. I've been praying on the situation with this new man that I've only known a month now. I've been online searching for information on marriage. I didn't find a sermon that fed my spirit, so i fell asleep and woke up to this service on UA-cam (God is a miracle worker) I needed this!! God's plan is the only way. Btw I took notes. Thank you for blessing me with this sermon. God Bless you and yours Pastor Voddie Baucham 🙏🏾
wish i were raised this way....what an awesome Word
I am that man that looked at love as this greco roman way. Its caused so much turmoil in life and our relationship. My eyes are open. Thank you vonnie. I am going to pray and work harder then ever to lead with will. I love my wife so much. Shes such a good soul and deserves better
Hey Voddie, me and my wife meet in early September, went on one date. I asked her to marry me and she said yes. We got married in January. I had a list like you said, she also was so much more than I prayed for.
That was 30 years ago
Not married never been married glad I heard this...
Amen! I love my brother Voddie, what a man of God to look up to. Very intelligent, funny, and wise! Love all my brothers and sisters in Christ! Stay blessed!
This message truly blessed my life, and my marriage.
Pastor Voddie you are spot on with
Another wise message.my name is Wayne I am 72 years old I was married twice before to the wrong women . But 24 years ago I met The right woman a beautiful Christian lady I didn't even deserve But God is so gracious that he blessed A sinner like me. Didn't have a real good chance to raise my children righteously But I didn't miss the chance to bring righteousness into the life of my grandchildren . And now I live my life for Christ and I do have opportunities to share messages but I so appreciate your wisdom because I will take every opportunity to grasp it . Thank you Pastor Voddie thank you father God because you are the best thing ever happened to me. 🙏 ❤️Amen
@@waynecraig7115gf This is such a beautiful testimony of the grace our Heavenly Father gives to us.
I've struggled through my faith this last year and a half. Fought to keep it, and make my relationship with Christ, and submitting to His Word, my own... not just claiming it from what I grew up with in a Christian household my 20 years of life.
Although I realize I am not financially able OR qualified for marriage yet... I do however realize that I am NOW Biblically qualified to pursue someone for marriage.
Very thankful for this series.
I love this man as a Christian.
I am sad however as listening to him makes me feel awful because my marriage failed and I don’t think I will ever experience that wonderful feeling he is describing. Thankfully my children have gone on to achieve it thanks be to God although my eldest after 28 years his wife had an affair and although he tried for six months to bring things back together she wouldn’t allow it. My heart broke for him.🌹
Send him this, he clearly was unequally yoked if she did that, and who knows what God has in store for him. 🤷🏻♀️ Also my mammal got remarried in her sixty's after my Pappal died who knows what God has in store for you.
Definition of love:
An act of the will accompanied by emotion that leads to action on behalf of its object.
This is one of the best sermons on marriage I’ve ever heard. All truth. Amen man of God ✝️❤️🙏🏻
Great way to encourage couples to live in a Biblical marriage.
Every Christian couple should listen to this sermon before marriage,
Don't stand down my bro. Thanks for being the man in the gap that God is looking for.
These teachings are still relevant, many years after. So much wisdom and knowledge packed in this video.
This is a foundational teaching on love and marriage. It has helped me put so many things into perspective
This message was so Holy Spirit led 🙏🏾❤️
Thankful to the Lord for Voddie's ministry and even more thankful to the God he loves and serves! Praise God for His Word!
WOW what a feast. Bless you Voddie
I was not raised in a Christian home. Never had anyone around me loving Christ. Till I moved here to USA. Good for those born in good Christian homes with kind caring parents who adore Jesus. Good for them. What a pretty life they have.
I have listened to this series a few times now, I wish I had this taught to me before I was wed.
I got married at 23 and my church folk thought it was because of an 'ooops baby'. They waited for four years for me to give birth😁. I found what I wanted too Dr Voddie.
Oh my, if everyone I know would invest 3 hours to watch this video. It is beyond words to describe the wisdom that I wish would have been available when I was in that stage of life. Unfortunately that was not the case.
My sentiments exactly
Marriage and children aren't for everyone.
@@troypage5994as long as sex isn't involve then, praise God
Now that couple that Voddie was talking about, that IS LOVE! Amen!
So powerful I needed this in my season I am in this rocked my world! This is a must for every christian single to hear this I am sending this to all my friends!
The way god used Pastor Baucham is so wonderful. This message saturated my spirit.
Saving this and making my husband listen to it tonight while he’s at work. He says he will, so I’ll be quoting him on it.
This was a well spent 3 hours for sure.
Im so glad you will. This changed my marriage in so many ways 3 years ago. May God Bless your marriage. 🙏
Amber Delivered thank you for that info on your marriage. Gives me hope. We’ve been together for 19 years (married this nov will be 12 years) and we have bad downs and some ups. Been a work In progress these last few years to get to a point of biblical marriage. More me striving for it than him. But hoping that changes and he gets fully on board too.
I’ve watched many sermons on marriage and this video is the best one I’ve ever heard. To go through each process and each persons responsibility’s individually and then responsibilities together is what we need to hear.
Lastly, thank you for the blessing. Please pray for us that we can keep working towards God’s idea of marriage. I’ll have you in mine also for continuous Godly obedience in yours also. May God keep you both and bless you today and all the days to come.
@@SweetTea-Stephens thank you so very much for your prayers. ! I can relate we have been married 8 and together 11. It started out the old fashioned worldly way and that made for a toxic union. I prayed and cried but I didnt know I needed some changing too and this came right on time. This is the best by far that I've found also. The more you focus on God and keep reading he can seen your obedience to the Lord and that is motivating as well to our spouses. We've watched this together twice. I thought we needed a refresher lol and I got new gems all over again. Maybe you both should watch it together. No distractions. 🙏
3 hours of God's voice speaking to men and women I wept so much during this being married for 1 year smh life changing
It wasn’t Gods voice that spoke it was voddie a voice.
Amazing!! I will be listening to this over and over again.
This is the best sermon I have EVER heard regarding marriage. I’m literally crying hearing this because I have two failed marriages. I was married first at 24 years, and second at 38 years and wish I heard this beforehand. I’m 54 now.
In fact, I wish I was SAVED before my first marriage. Hearing this from Pastor Baucham made me reflect on my mistakes in choosing my husbands, and the signs I failed to see. And it made me reflect on myself as well… immaturity, selfishness, low self esteem and not having my father active in my life are also factors. The foundation of Family is a ministry in itself according to the Lord’s design. I was not ready for marriage. It is a serious thing and truly God’s ordained gift to us.
Me to have had a similar circumstances with similar reasons…but Gods word reads he is a forgiving God so once you confessed your sin you also have to repent from your sin and God will not know it no more! True we will still have to live with the consequences of our sin but that’s temporary because he will come back for us one day and we will be able to stand in his presence and say thank you for your grace and mercy ANDDDDDD forgiveness for I know what I did but when I found out I did transgress against you I repented and changed from my wicked ways🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I was made new by the blood of the lamb and you knew my sin no more hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah to God be the glory 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I just want to thank God for not letting me down ❤️it felt like all hope was lost after my parents divorced, but God came through on the cross and married me instead ❤️💯✝️ now that’s real love ✨🔥
I just recently found out about him and his ministry. He is awesome! Wish I found him sooner!! God bless him and his ministry.
Same here... im thankful 🙏
YES INDEED‼️🙌🏿❤️
I found him only yesterday !
I'm glad I was guided by God to hear this.
@@janice7378I found him this month and praise God I am being blessed
What a beautiful series, thank you Pastor Voddie, May God continue to Bless and use you in Jesus Name, Amen 🙏🏻
Everyone needs a little Voddie in their lives 🙌 Well worth the investment.
“My Beloved is mine, and I am my Beloved’s.”
I just broke up with my boyfriend and though it hurts, I know I made the right decision. I can't be half God and half world. Thank u for this video. I finally understand my purpose and when I realized it, I couldn't stop crying. I thank God for giving urself to Him and answering ur calling.
Share this. With everyone.
Seriously.
Seriously!!
Praise God, I am 29 years old and still frustrated in terms of marriage. This sermon opened my eyes and convicts me to grow in Christ. Pastor Paul Washer' s sermons reffered me to Dr. Voddie' s sermons about marriage.
Listened to the first sermon and I call it like the Word calls it and this was spot on! Wow!! Going to fight sleep to listen to the next one.
The truth in every area... God bless you.. It's a dire shame the church is so averse to the truth reflecting their own lives... It starts with us.. ❤️🙏🏿❤️
He is my favorite as well.... I could sit at his feet for hours! They don't breed many pastors like this!! (Which is sad)
The last part of part 3, makes me cry every time 😥 "He must be"
The greatest! If only we were all raised this way
I love this series so much. What a talented speaker.
This is what you call identity preaching. This man has not walked in my shoes, but i truly believe he has the wisdom to have a greater understanding than most. He is so uplifting.
WOW THIS IS A BLESSING- AND SO NEEDED FOR MARRIAGES ALL OVER?!!! Glory to God! Thank you So much for teaching Mr Voddie Baucham!!!
Brother Voddie is so great and loves God so much. What an inspiration!!!
Pastor Voddie has been a great teacher in my Christian walk,and I'm thankful to my brother that introduced me to you
I'm 15 years old this is helpful and educative
I was born with those characteristics, this sermon reopened my eyes to my natural... Now I plan to live with what was freely given to me never to lose it again!!!!!!!
So powerful Mistry, it pulled a lot of memories, trial's and regrets.
Weighed my heart since I immature without crucial life skills to be indure my marriage bad thing's made me weep and didn't know differents want and need's until I finally as I was alienated from alot I still love, being selfish taking away Glory to Jesus betray his love and broke my promise.
As a old man begging to get any redemption from my sin's trying to lift weight off my heart.
This is exactly Holy Spirit want's open my conscience and lead me praise the Father Son and Holy Spirit daily.
Verse Psalms 51 : 3 break's down my life and carry rest of my life and never forget to remind who control's my soul God created and gifted.
Praise Lord who created anointed pastor Voddie Baucham so blessed to follow his brutal honesty always giving praise to God.
Halluea 🙌
Amen?
Let it be known!!!
I love this preacher. Thank you Voddie, you are a TRUE man of GOD.
Amen Amen needed to hear what God say about marriage.
Preach Pastor Voddie. God bless you and family
Awesome biblical teaching! Definitely stomped on my toes, but that is what sound biblical teaching is supposed to do through the power of the Holy Spirit.
I always wished for what Voddie speaks about but didn’t come from this type of home life ( I wished I would have i could have had a different life ( I thank God and voddie for sharing truths about God the Bible and I wished I would have known different many many many years ago
Best I ever herd teaching on marriage.
Thanks for sharing this sermon
I needed this 18 years ago 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can't wait until I get married and have children I love children I love family. I can't wait to have family l am praying so hard for a wife.
@ Jason Hollis
Children and family cannot save anyone from sexual temptations. Only regular sex can and will
1 Co 7:4/5
We get married for sex first and foremost.
My family don't like it when I talk about getting married, especially my mom. She either looks annoyed or worried or sceptical. It's like I grow three heads each time I mention it. Please pray for me because I really want to be married and to have kids, but I want it all to be in God's time. Not mine. Not my mom's. Not my dad's. But His time.
@ Natalie Chakwanda
Does not your mother worry about your sexual needs ?
To avoid fornication , let every man have his wife and every woman have her husband
1 Co 7:4
Where on earth has Biblical truth gone ?
Girls today are more promiscuous than ever but they should not get married ??????????
@@framboise595 thats the thing, Isabelle, parents want working daughters more than they want married daughters. Married daughters are an investment wasted just for someone to become a housewife and care for her family 24/7, my mom is better at understanding why i want to be a stay at home mom, but breach the topic to my dad... a catastrophe waiting to happen
@@OkayMaybeImDoneNow...
How can it be so ? People in the past ( a long time ago) wanted their daughters to be married to ensure them material protection and protection against sexual immorality .
What have we become ?
I would love to know how you are doing now in this aspect, two years later. God is a faithful Father.
Kindly keep it to yourself and God - your parents could be depending on you and they do not want you to leave. God will answer you and you will get married.
The topic of Love and Marriage could not have been contextually [Biblically] broken down as it was in this three-hour and fifteen minute clip. Only God knows how I wish I had access to this information many, many years ago. Unfortunately, I’ve contributed to the appalling statistics of divorce. Awesome teacher!
So sad to hear this. Seek God for healing. Reconciliation is God's way. He is a God of second chances.
*Confirmation,Life changing and liberating* Thank You Jesus❤
Im thankfully and pleased to sharei get happy jist thinking of my kids getting married , i dont push school nor academics, but them finding their God sent spouse and live a life God intendz them to,
This is so good teaching for a man and woman who would get married to hold on to and try to live in faitfullness and love for each other to fulfll a great life together in Christ rejecting the lies of the devil's divorce!! By allowing Christ to be the head of their lives
@ Lyn Augustine
Yeah sure ! The reason why we get married is love !!
Joke.
To avoid fornication , let every man have his wife (..;)
The reason why we get married is a sexual one. It has nothing to do with love.
We are supposed to love the children of God adamantly . That does not mean we are going to marry them all !
Making marriage all about love is as insane as telling people to go to a restaurant and not eat there but just love the waiter and the customers !
I love how Voddie dismantles political correctness and the black lives matter movement as well as the woke movement. We need black men who are strong in the Lord who can stand up against so much idiocy in our political world, because if a white man stands up against it, he is automatically racist. We need more men like Voddie!!!
Marriage is a beautiful thing. I will always cherish her
3:01:44 Wow, he nailed it with the reason for the seed of resentment I have as an only child toward my mom. I pray for her salvation daily, and praise God that He restored the relationship between my dad and me.
Wow, what would the world be like if every father taught this to his family and every pastor preached this in their church.
Really enjoyed this Voddie! Thank you... I wish I would have heard this years and years ago!
I needed to hear this..... Right on time. Touches all parts of our lives
