Today, as we have a very special guest. Join us. My cohost was also my lovely wife will formally introduce her shortly before turn it over to her. I would like to say that anyone who knows me knows that I do not get starstruck when it comes to famous actors and actresses, singers, athletes do not get starstruck and I had the opportunity to meet Michael Jordan many years ago and I passed on it because it just was not a big deal to me but I am starstruck by today's guess now the world elevates people to a godlike status when it is starstruck, even above God. In many cases, so to be clear I am not elevating our guests to the level of God but I am giving credit where credit is due because I so much admire your respect and applaud the biblical principles that she stands upon a leading her women's ministry how women and wives are to carry out their roles in society and in marriages because it is so rare to hear what she teaches in our PC culture today so I have followed her for number of years and I have look forward to this day of her joining our program for me. My palms are sweaty in anticipation. So with that said, I am going to be a fly on the wall today and just sit back and enjoy the conversation with Tara Furman of knowing God ministries. Here is my wife and cohost Denita ladies take away this is Denita Thompson I am honored to introduce my sweet friend one of my Jesus girls Tara Furman of knowing God ministries and Tara is the founder and president of knowing God ministries in Cary, North Carolina, and the knowing God ministries mission is to change our world one woman at a time.

How are you born up before my daughter now I don't from the four also. So today we're going to be discussing how women can apply God's principles to marriage. This is a much needed message today, but for someone that I want you to tell us a little bit more about knowing I ministries. No doubt the women were not very well located in the Cary, Raleigh, North Carolina area that we call virtual everyone else is right now. People all over the world joining up our workshop are one can straight from your computer and knowing God will change your life. One really she one that brings the reality in which she began work and found real word not the word.

Why better to live following thought word and word alignment joining from all different nominate when all we women that are from God little bit about short yet severe SHA GM that is knowing God ministries and I am honored to serve on the knowing I ministries team so we will wear on that right now on your divine. As you may know, there is been this escalation of feminism today and so the biblical role of the wife has been distorted or totally ignored. So I'm can share with us what God says about the role of the wife, the role of the wife, the role well marriage. I call down loud, but John in the workplace done amazing thing and I'm thankful for the work that they've done for when pressure in the workplace, but I feel like I'm the family that provides a lot of confusion but it sorted what God means by the role of marriage. Go ahead and address that right below of Hawaii. Been distorted by the culture that a weak woman one when you follow what God wanted only a 100 is really strong.

First of all, you know, we take into account that you're not married to somebody that I'm demanding thing to give the complete distortion of the way God the role of the one goal that we are equal… Of order and anything accompanied the president of the company under the vice president of the company and role from white to be the vice president of the company in the pressure on the shirt called and and really when you look at it. I of God the way I'm get when uncle Bert says in first Peter three that that when we we ran a lot-Jesus is not our word of our turn your life with marriage and arriving lodging marriage and all the wealth that God outlines yes and I love how you mentioned that God is a God of order that is so important for us to to look to for going to live for God and we have to trust him. So, if God gives us this design for marriage. Then there is an order to that marriage is way and we have to respect that order because we respect God and the purpose that he has for marriage. I left that now I know a little know you go-ahead your fine well I'm glad you brought five he said submit to one another. Bert said submit to one another in the very what I untangled the word and first started with in the thing out how to prevent blood and talk about the power behind it and the difference that made my marriage but I did the picture of global, as unto the Lord, and on that alone change the trajectory of my marriage changed the trajectory of many marriages.

Yes, that's exactly right. And I know Brian can attest to that is whale but as far as far as knowing God ministries you will do a wonderful job I could say week is on the team that you will do a wonderful job of sharing with women how important prayer is you have devotionals and various books that relate to prayer, getting into your quiet time so I will be to how prayer relates to marriage and the importance of it in marriage power and I learned early on, shut my mouth and go to Kroger because that is what brought me on lagging or complaining. I'm thinking when I first heard going to Bible study and learning that word actually work down to get a Bible study, study it and actually study and part of it what so ever. In fact, we he got. She went to graduate school that I would quit nagging him goal that didn't have to go to Bible study that was lacking and alarmed keep my mouth shut and go to the Lord in prayer and my quiet time that not what I mean by that but I think my thinking where the special fountain comes from being calm with each day reading work-study and applying it to your life.

I did not get getting up and reading it and forgetting what you read, but internalizing it living without that way that you know that where not share your help one understand the need to change your marriage.

You can change your life is knowing God will change your life. You don't prayer my website right now technically print this audience on a free report page called prayer made simple prayer make simple marriage free resources and you can download the free report and it will help you pray pressure for your marriage. Encourage everyone, knowing God ministries.net deluxe free resources and you can download free prayer report to help you pray for your okay that's really good because when we pray Scripture into our marriages. The Scripture is just up is powerful in itself.

So to all the girls to get those scriptures in and in speaking with your mouth and pray those sketches of your marriage over your husband and and things I do a wonderful thing for your marriage equipped me to what might you mentor that told me this one, she was she describing the power of prayer. She said Picture something with power of the nuclear war and you want to do that through prayer, which is Scripture which Scripture would on the tree resort when you watch Scripture through prayer and achieve your marriage on it like watching something with the power of an atomic weapon should have never forgotten. She will write about that because I prayed Mary today you really want to know the truth, I mean that your leg would probably agree with Nick. Not sure that I would be married today because of the bill in the way of the world and I wanted my right what I wanted what I needed how I felt that when I learned to pray and quit nagging and talk to God about my frustration and anger will recoup in God we can take our anger to him.

We can take our frustration and talent to let it settle. You know like going into a rage settle down. We don't make the Boulevard anyway dog power prayer under the power that exactly right. You cannot is this is a great time for us to take a short break for some announcements but when we return we will allow Tara to continue sharing some valuable godly marriage tips with us will be back on the line God.org library you will find articles of download. One very self just so I listen to also sign up for our monthly newsletter and visit with God that knowing God ministries and of carrying line about how women apply God's principles to marriage. If you want to hear this message in its entirety.

I know marriage is a probably a little stray but but we do know that Jesus with Jesus at the center. Marriages can thrive even with the things that are going on today so I would love if you could give us some helpful tips to create a thriving married stoplight. The times that we live in. Okay what I've got five helpful for your marriage and down. We are called to provide bi-weight is not good on the God felt that it would not good with the line and that they can help and so we called Adam Adam what one might and we are called to provide ship to her husband on that second thing is called to be a comfort and strata that Frank Scripture, that he made a helper nubile that that label. But remind anyone that you think about that. The Holy Spirit called self help what I call that he would call on the local Bonita as it relates to being a helper when my children will work with a friend and play it when my kids were really young kids are 18 and 20 now, but we were and the woman and came home and one cool when husband comes home from work he likes you. He really want to see you and your kids when they get to work that out loud. Starting the English kids and I were there before I can kick out of their target argument uncomfortable moment you're going all uncomfortable green not Sec. quiet and he laughed sec. get help, but probably not learning my life couple married anymore and that is the view of a lot of women, but we are called to, long time. Her husband and and a lot of ways that you can help often will help you today. Is there anything you need me to do immediately think that the big grocery works out for you and the company was leadership, which we did talk about on wheat with leadership 100 think that women were but no one when you go along with what your husband chosen made any it doesn't turn out that well.

One of the worst things you can do.

Yes now go even after he called and encourage him so yeah wanted to say about the thing that you know that all three cities really care form the big lap you are really lot and read for they pray that men want that more than that of lot and South to work there for 533 man to love what husband and with always say we won't get to give her yes no wasteful plot points when you talk to one young kid forget you're talking to your topic and the thing out and get check him out or if you're quick-tempered out of quick-tempered last week, but I'll tell like each prayer shot down the correct and what that anyway would work short with them or never, ever, ever burp down in front of other people disagree with implied that right. Encourage good decisions and authority in front of your children every differ with how you think being made with the kids made. Maybe the planner at a decision degree and talk privately. Not in front of the children because that is very undermining.

Yes, you don't want to disrespect her husband and you know I'm going elephant and a really rack. I knew that based on merit. I guess you could say that he made me feel good and he did everything I needed. Then maybe I would reward him and you are out what contrary in his word and that it can first and I will take the time to read protect your audience. Encourage everyone to read that lunch 21 through 71 very clear and outline that the husband's body. The body is not banned because the league. We became dry so I belong to my husband belong me and that we are not to deprive each other for mutual consent that we can better your your defining each other and you're not writing all this and you know I'm not blaming the rise of pornography not blaming that. But help but think that is when to that, I can't help but wonder a man would not need to look at pornography type. She's doing her job and one thing and I'll let you get in Bonita on my mentor told me that the chief going to be 74-year-old woman.

It's only death that ever frustrated and he just in a bad mood altogether that I need to go into my brain and go with the last time we were in a three day never forgot the part that you take care that need for hand you will be blown away the things that you will want to take care of you here every three or four days anyway. The need until it is sometimes hard to really live by the telling you God's word works it works it does work and I think a lot of people don't give they want if they say that they want to be a woman after God's own heart and that means obeying his word. We can't just leave out what he says about what we should do as wives as enough and as he just like we want him to bless us as we live for him. We will want him to bless our marriage as we live for him throughout marriages wail so we try to be attentive to that and so I want this yes may come this year.

Also, you have a book that's coming out, but you have one that is already out and is called the seven day challenge guidebook. Jumpstart your marriage in a week and I know that it ladies if you are interested in this visit. Knowing God ministries.net because there will be a marriage workshop that will be using this book that's coming up soon so I encourage you to go in and look that up.

You can do that and visit her on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter. So ladies, if you are woman after God's own heart. Get with God and bring bring God to the marriage table. There's so much that he wants to do through you and just to get into the word not just to read about things, but to also obey and put into practice so that God can bless your marriage and draw you and your husband together as one strengthening an increase in that love is way is perfect. So let's use him in our marriage. Thank you so much for joining and you are so welcome, ladies, if we want God to bless our marriage is we must have God at the center surrendering to him and as we surrender and submit to God, he will equip us for this good work. The work that we do in our marriages that will draw you and your husband together as one strengthening an increase in that love bond is way is perfect. So let's put his principles to work in a marriage, because if we do not number one is ascendancy and blocks our connection with God. Number two, you're missing out on the fullness in the joy and love that God is through marriage.

So once again we thank Tara for coming on with us today a true woman of God to the God first family. Remember to put God first and bless the nation of Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Amen
