- 0:04Good morning.
- 0:04Good morning.
- 0:05Good morning, apostle Al.
- 0:07Come to you live at nine o'clock in the morning on March 28th, 2026, when the Lord gave me this message, it was so deep that I had to go back and rethink how am I gonna deliver such a powerful message.
- 0:30How am I going to go past those people that's gonna be offended?
- 0:35I really don't care.
- 0:37'cause this message is not for the world.
- 0:40This message is for those believers that's calling Jesus his Lord, their Lord, and is gonna do his will.
- 0:47What is the title?
- 0:49Wife Respect.
- 0:51Your husband.
- 0:54Now, the minute I say that, all people gonna get offended because he says, wife, respect your husband, because the next thing they're going to say is, why can't the husband respect the wife?
- 1:06This is lack of knowledge.
- 1:09See, first of all, let's deal with that word respect.
- 1:14Respect is a positive feeling.
- 1:18Action that acknowledges the importance.
- 1:21Value or the right of others.
- 1:25I don't see why that's a big deal, but the world gonna have a problem.
- 1:29But let's get into the word where they're pulling this from.
- 1:32Paul is writing in the book of Ephesians chapter five.
- 1:37It really starts at verse 22 to 33, but the end of 33, that's when it says, and wife.
- 1:47Must see to it that she respects her husband now has the problem with the average believer.
- 1:58They don't know what the story's about.
- 2:01I'm going to take you deep into the scripture.
- 2:05A concept of God, so we can understand why he said that.
- 2:13Why did he put that at the end of his thought process?
- 2:20Well, let's get into the word then.
- 2:22So before I can give you what he was talking about back then, I gotta tell you what's leading up to the story.
- 2:30So in Ephesians chapter five, verse 22 to 33, we talk about New American standing Bible.
- 2:36He says, husbands love your wife.
- 2:42Just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her.
- 2:49Well, if you don't understand that, you are not gonna understand the rest.
- 2:54First of all, Christ died on the cross for me.
- 3:01I'm the church for you.
- 3:03If you are a believer, you are the church.
- 3:06So it is now giving us a reference.
- 3:09Why the end is so important.
- 3:13He says, I would have died just for you.
- 3:18But here's the problem with understanding that you me are sinners.
- 3:25We was born sinners, and we have no right to God unless.
- 3:32He sacrificed his blood for us, which now cleansed us from our filthy, corrupt thoughts and desires into holiness.
- 3:44That's why a man and a woman can live together.
- 3:48That's sin man.
- 3:50And a wife married, that's no longer sin.
- 3:56Two people, same act.
- 4:00Different principles.
- 4:01Why marriage commitment, not marriage.
- 4:06No commitment.
- 4:07Let me keep going'cause we going to get, dig deep in this thing here.
- 4:10Wife, respect your husband.
- 4:13See, so when he goes into verse 36, 26, guess what it says?
- 4:18So that he might what?
- 4:20Sanctify her.
- 4:23Having cleansed her by the washing of water.
- 4:27What's the word?
- 4:28Now, here's the reference that a lot of people don't get'cause they don't understand it.
- 4:32The spirit is, what is this washing?
- 4:36When we come to what Christ is doing for us, he washes us with his spirit, which now cleansed us by the promise.
- 4:47So that's why when you really start understanding the principle of God, he said, I came from the father to what?
- 4:55Come and get my bride.
- 4:57That's what first he beholds us, means I'm gonna make you a promise and then later I'm gonna come back and marry you.
- 5:04That's not man nor woman.
- 5:06That is all of us who are believers.
- 5:09We are the bride.
- 5:13Is the bride groom.
- 5:15Oh, we going deep now.
- 5:16We going deep.
- 5:17Hold on'cause we going deeper.
- 5:21See in verse 27, he said that he may present to himself the church in all her glory.
- 5:29That's us man, all woman.
- 5:31We are the church.
- 5:34We are the bride.
- 5:36But he goes on having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing that she would be holy and blameless.
- 5:47You are not blameless.
- 5:49You are not holy because of your act.
- 5:52You are blameless and holy because of his act.
- 5:57You accepting him now gives you the justification which brings on the purification, which brings on the sanctification, which brings on the holiness.
- 6:07Come on.
- 6:09That's why when you get to this point, you are going to hate sin.
- 6:12Why?
- 6:13Because sin is an opposition of God.
- 6:17Oh, wife, respect your husband.
- 6:22So then he goes on and he says in verse 28, to husbands also I to love.
- 6:30Watch that.
- 6:31Watch this now.
- 6:32Love their own wives.
- 6:34As their own body.
- 6:37Now, in the last I check, I feed me.
- 6:41Why?
- 6:41Because I'm hungry.
- 6:43The last I check, I wash me.
- 6:45Why?
- 6:45Because I'm dirty.
- 6:47Why?
- 6:47When I'm sick, I take care of myself.
- 6:49When I butt my hand or hurt my hand or cut my hand, I put on I, I.
- 6:54Put on a bandaid.
- 6:55I try to take care of it.
- 6:56Why?
- 6:56'cause it's a part of my body.
- 6:58So now when we start to understand that, and we are body of the body of Christ, we are not talking about religion, we are not talking about color.
- 7:07We are talking about our body because you are part of his body and that's why it says.
- 7:12If you are the ear, are you disappointed at the hearing?
- 7:16If you're the hearing, are you disappointed at the leg?
- 7:18This is why envy does not make any sense to God.
- 7:25Rather, you are the pastor on the lay person.
- 7:28You are still a part of the body.
- 7:31Let me keep going, but he goes on.
- 7:37He says, oh man.
- 7:40He says, he who loves his own wive loves himself.
- 7:47Now, I'm about to give you something that a lot of people don't wanna deal with.
- 7:51A lot of people don't love themselves, so getting married is irrelevant because they don't know how to love.
- 8:01Because you don't know how to love.
- 8:03There's a lot of women don't know how to love.
- 8:05There's definitely a lot of women that don't have respect for their husband because a lot of people don't have respect for themselves.
- 8:11When you talk about love and respect, see there are certain things you can't do for me'cause I'm not gonna accept it.
- 8:17Why?
- 8:17I got respect for who I am.
- 8:19I know I'm a king and a priest, so I expect it to be treated a certain way.
- 8:26Regardless of how you may think, I know who I am.
- 8:33Most men don't.
- 8:35Most women don't.
- 8:37And now you asking a person that don't love themselves to love, it's impossible.
- 8:44It's.
- 8:46That's why it's hard for me to understand how a person can be addicted to something, whether it's alcohol or drugs.
- 8:55You are gonna do this to your body not understanding how precious it is.
- 9:04You don't get the one, let me go on for no one ever hated his own flesh.
- 9:14Nourish it and cherish it just as who Christ also does.
- 9:20The church, that's Christ's love for us.
- 9:24That's Christ's protection for us.
- 9:26The church is not a building is a person.
- 9:35And then in verse 30, it is all in capital letters.
- 9:40It's a loud voice.
- 9:42Saying, because we are part of his body.
- 9:49We talk about believers.
- 9:50Now, this is not for everybody.
- 9:53That's why more than 50% of marriages fail.
- 9:55Why?
- 9:56Because they married him in feelings and then after the feeling way off they run.
- 10:03Why?
- 10:04I don't love you no more.
- 10:07Why did you ever love me?
- 10:09You can love somebody and don't leave them because they don't understand who you are.
- 10:16Some of the price you pay was too much.
- 10:20All we going on now, but watch what it says.
- 10:24For this reason, a man shall leave his father.
- 10:29And his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
- 10:35All of this is stealing capital letters.
- 10:37This is a loud saying.
- 10:39God is talking loud and he's saying this is important.
- 10:44Now, here's the problem with that.
- 10:48We don't understand Jewish tradition.
- 10:51We don't understand that when a young man leaves his father and mother house, because now he's going to get his wife, he comes back to the same father house, he builds onto that house, and now they start a family.
- 11:07Joined with that family.
- 11:11The wife leaves her family and she's joined to her husband.
- 11:18Up till this point, the woman never leaves home.
- 11:23She's always there under the protection of the father until she is patrolled and then gets married.
- 11:34Oh, we done went deep now.
- 11:36So now that you, in Ephesians chapter five, verse 22 to 33, we are going in a deeper part of what we already covered because in verse 32, watch what he says.
- 11:50This mystery is great.
- 11:54Most people get married.
- 11:55I got married not even understanding the principle of what I just did.
- 12:00I had to learn later on what I did.
- 12:05He said, this is a great mystery.
- 12:07I can guarantee you 95% of the preachers don't know this.
- 12:15So now they're marrying people without understanding what is really transpiring in the flesh, which is the spiritual, spiritual.
- 12:26Watch what it says next door.
- 12:28But I.
- 12:31Speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
- 12:38Oh, let me say that again.
- 12:39Now he's speaking.
- 12:40What about Christ?
- 12:43And the church.
- 12:45Nevertheless, we, in verse 33, now we bringing it home, all of this together.
- 12:54Nevertheless, as for you individually, each husband is to love his own wife, the same as himself and wife.
- 13:10Must see to it that she respects her husband.
- 13:14Now, I started out at the end and then I brought you full circle, and now I brought you back to the end.
- 13:22Now watch the revelation.
- 13:25If you really can grab a hold of how deep this really is as a man, I decided my wife Brenda, she's gonna be my wife.
- 13:37So now I also make a commitment that I'm going to protect her and take care of her as I do myself.
- 13:45I'm gonna love her and cherish her as I do myself.
- 13:50And in the midst of doing that, I'm also in alignment with Christ and the church.
- 13:59And now I'm not telling her I just wanna sleep with you.
- 14:04I just wanna be with you.
- 14:06I wanna make a commitment to you.
- 14:09I wanna marry you.
- 14:11And we we stick that in there.
- 14:13You know, for better, for worse, for rich, for poor, until death.
- 14:15Feel pot.
- 14:16That was not a part of God's word.
- 14:19Divorce was never even an issue.
- 14:23Moses allowed them to do that because he said your heart was hardened and they was put the wife out with no sense of responsibility of how she's going to take care of herself because they did not go into the workforce.
- 14:38Oh, we just talking about wives, respect your husband.
- 14:42That was God's message of how this was designed.
- 14:47And how we have lost focus.
- 14:51That's the word of God for today.
