To subscribe to Andrew’s email newsletter: http://www.awmi.net/youtube-subscribe/ In this series Andrew teaches from the 2015 Ministers conference in Woodland Park Colorado. A conference designed to encourage and uplift anyone in ministry and to further equip them to continue to effectively minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 00:20 Day 5 of the 2015 Minister Conference held in Woodland Park, CO start with Praise and Worship. 1:44 Andrew introduces today’s guest speaker, Pastor Duane Sherriff of Duane Sheriff Ministry. 03:22 Today’s message is on marriage specifically “The Purpose of Marriage”. 1 Peter 3:1-6, deals with husband and wife relationship and the role of the wife in her submission to her own husband. If we don’t dwell together in the institution of marriage (v7) our prayers can be hindered. Marriage affects our spiritual walk in the Kingdom of God. 06:51 Pastor Sheriff explains the purpose of a satellite dish comparable to the purpose of marriage. Knowing the purpose of a thing or something allows you to not abuse, misuse, and/or frustrate its original purpose, which is happening in the marriage today. God wants to recover this institution of marriage in our lives. 07.54 One important thing to remember is that purpose is independent of its creator. A creation of any kind finds its purpose in its creator. The reason we are so confused about marriage is not knowing who the creator is. 10:55 Jesus taught us who the creator and deals with the question of marriage. “From the beginning God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife. And they (two) shall be one flesh: so they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let no man put asunder”. (Mark 10:6-9). God created marriage - put it together and define it. 13:50 To find out “What is marriage for?” Pastor Sheriff surveyed why people get married. 15:03 the #1 reason why people get married is to be happy. You cannot look to your spouse to make you happy. Happiness comes from your relationship with God. Marriage is someone who found happiness in God and who found somebody else who has had and found happiness on God. 17:40 #2 reason why people get married is to find value, worth and dignity. You will never truly find value, worth, and dignity in the institution of marriage but only in your relationship with the Creator God as part of His creation. 20:40 #3 reason why people get married is to complete them. No human being can complete you, “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power”. (Colossians 2:9:10) 21:04 #4 is marriage is not for social experiment. Marriage has a specific definition and purpose. It was created and designed by God and cannot be recreated, and redesigned by anyone else e.g. divorce, separation, mother and son, father and daughter getting married, etc. 22:27 Darkness is on the horizon - darkness, evil and perversion has no boundaries if we don’t know the purpose of marriage as created and designed by God. 22:18 One-time donation link and next videos in this series. ============================================ Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ====================================================== https://youtu.be/T-h9l8QJztM
