If you are watching this a
feeling a bit hopeless, you are
00:00:15.50\00:00:18.94
with a spouse that you have
been praying for a long time.
00:00:18.97\00:00:22.37
You are feeling like it
is never going to happen,
00:00:22.40\00:00:25.25
I thought that, I thought
that and it was so wrong.
00:00:25.28\00:00:28.09
God is God and He is huge.
00:00:28.13\00:00:30.93
Even though we can't see
what is happening, underneath
00:00:30.97\00:00:34.51
all that, He is still everyday
working on people's hearts,
00:00:34.54\00:00:38.04
opening up their
minds and ears to be able
00:00:38.08\00:00:40.09
to hear the Holy Spirit.
00:00:40.12\00:00:41.79
When I was going around after
14 years or so, praying that
00:00:41.82\00:00:45.62
maybe something would happen
to him and I could just marry
00:00:45.66\00:00:49.99
someone else, God disciplined
me on that and said, Cheri,
00:00:50.02\00:00:54.31
listen to what you
are thinking in your head.
00:00:54.35\00:00:56.59
You need to repent of that,
you need to surrender that,
00:00:56.63\00:00:59.74
you need to start looking
at this guy as if he was Isaac,
00:00:59.78\00:01:02.95
as if he were Abraham, as
if he was an incredible man of
00:01:02.98\00:01:06.12
God which he is and
he just doesn't know it.
00:01:06.16\00:01:08.99
I want him, when he looks in
your eyes, I want him to know
00:01:09.03\00:01:11.97
that you know who he is,
that you know that someday he is
00:01:12.00\00:01:14.89
going to stand up and take
leadership in this household.
00:01:14.92\00:01:17.55
You know someday he is
going to take leadership in this
00:01:17.58\00:01:20.17
ministry and he is
going to do that stuff.
00:01:20.21\00:01:22.20
I want you to look at him as
if all that was happening now
00:01:22.23\00:01:26.53
an you don't see
any evidence of it.
00:01:26.57\00:01:28.65
When I started to do
that, I started to repent.
00:01:28.68\00:01:32.16
If I had things running
in my head that were negative
00:01:32.19\00:01:35.03
toward him, if I had
frustrations, if I was not
00:01:35.07\00:01:37.84
in a place where I felt
this was never going to change,
00:01:37.87\00:01:41.78
I needed to just go
to God and say I'm sorry,
00:01:41.82\00:01:43.73
give him favor in my eyes.
00:01:43.77\00:01:46.53
When I look at this man
let me look at him with as much
00:01:46.57\00:01:49.57
love as I can muster up.
00:01:49.61\00:01:51.13
When I would say God I can't
do that, He would say good,
00:01:51.17\00:01:54.04
let Me do it for you.
00:01:54.07\00:01:55.79
God is amazing so turn it over.
00:01:55.83\00:01:59.27
Till next week always remember
that God is crazy about you.
00:01:59.30\00:02:03.17
And me too!
