EPHESIANS 5:21
21 ¶ Submitting yourselves one to another
in the fear of God.
EPHESIANS 5:22
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own
husbands, as unto the Lord.
EPHESIANS 5:23
23 For the husband is
the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
EPHESIANS 5:24
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto
Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
EPHESIANS 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ
also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
EPHESIANS 5:26
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with
the washing of water by the word,
EPHESIANS 5:27
27 That he might present it to himself a
glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it
should be holy and without blemish.
EPHESIANS 5:28
28 So ought men to love their wives as their
own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
EPHESIANS 5:29
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh;
but nourisheth and cherisheth
it, even as the Lord the church:
EPHESIANS 5:30
30 For we are members of his body, of his
flesh, and of his bones.
EPHESIANS 5:31
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father
and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
EPHESIANS 5:32
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church.
EPHESIANS 5:33
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular
so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.

34-9 You should love one another. Believers
should separate themselves from the world. Don't just take it now, lightly. And
then, you people that's listening to this on tape, you women, you men, you
listen a minute. If you ever believed me, you believe it now. It's time
for--to quit fussing with one another. Believe the message of the Bible.
Believe Jesus Christ; and love, and honor, and respect one another.
Men respect your wives; you respect your home. Bring your
home together, because, you remember, this Lamb was for the home, not just one.
The whole home too had to be brought; everything had to be brought in. We
should love each other, and believers should separate themselves from the
world.

E-41 Look here. If--if you haven't got teeth,
and you use false teeth... Now, that's all right. It's substituting for the
teeth that you once had. But actually, those teeth are not connected with you.
It's not part of you. If you had an arm amputated, and you put a false arm on,
well, that arm is actually not connected with you. It's just stuck on you. See,
it's not connected with you.
And when we take our pledge to Christ, if we don't become part of
Him, like a woman ought to become part of a man and a man part of the woman,
then we're artificial Christians. We're not really... You're really not married
to that woman. You might be loyal. If you don't
love your husband, and him sixty or seventy years old, and you don't love him
as good as you did at the beginning, then you're really just raising his
children.
E-42 And that's the way the churches are, too
many today. We're just taking the name of the Christian
church, pretending to be the bride, when it's artificially; we're not connected
with Christ in any way. We're like an artificial tooth, artificial arm, artificial eye. See, it's something that's artificial if
we're just putting it on. Well, you can't put on Christianity. You've got to be
connected with it.
And then a church that's just artificial called the

950-Q-245 245. Brother Branham, I have
accepted God's Message of today, and also our son. And we both have been
baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. My husband--my husband hasn't
accepted the Message and is fighting this Message. And he has influenced our
son and is taking him to a Methodist church. He wants me to go with him to
church when we are not in service here at the Tabernacle. Would it be right for
me to go with him or would it be better to stay out of that denomination?
Well now, dear sister... She never signed no
name, but perhaps you're listening to your question; if you don't, you'll hear
it on tape. Go with your husband, but don't be partakers of--of what they're
doing. See, you're supposed to love your husband, and love is
what does it. You just be real salty; he'll get
thirsty if there's anything in him.
Don't join their denomination. You said, "Stay away from that
denomination." Don't join it; go to it. If you can't get a whole loaf, get
a half; can't get a half, just get a slice. See, see? But that's the way you'll
win your husband by doing that. Don't be arrogant, then
he'll know he's got just as much as you have. See? But when you can show
something that you have that he don't have, that'll
make him thirst to be like you. The sanctified wife sanctifies the husband.

E-16 So Paul said it was possible for him to do
those things without having the Giver, "Thou I speak with tongues as men
and angels, and have not charity, it profit me nothing." See, see? All right.
Now, love one another. Above everything
that you do, love one another. And as you love one another, you'll love
God. See? You love each other and you'll love God. For God is love.
And a man that walks in love, walks in
life. And perfect love casteth out all fear. Then if you can take Him at His Word, and not fear a bit about it.
Say, "Lord, I love You; I know You're going to
answer because You promised me You would, and I just know You're going to do
it." See? And it takes away all fear.

E-49 Why, let's take it this way so that
the--that the unlearned would understand. If you love your
wife right... I love my wife real good, my. Well, what if there was such
a thing, if some other woman would come up and say, "Billy, I love you
too." And she'd be a real pretty girl and say, "I love you."
Well, she won't do it, but if she would. See?
You know what I'd tell her? I'd say, "Look, Sister, kneel
down here a minute; I want pray with you a little about it." See? Why?
Well, you say, "Bill, you're in Africa,
And another thing, if I love her the right way... You say, "Well,
she loves you so much she'd forgive you." That may be so, too. But I love her too much to do it. See? That's grace. Not
nothing I done, but it's just my love for her. And that's the way our love is
to Christ when we been borned again and realize that
we are sons and daughters of God; it ain't
me have to this and have to... Paul, said, "All things to me are lawful,
but not all expedient."

E-35 And Sarah, inside, not out loud, but the
Bible said within herself, said, "Me, being an old woman here, a hundred
years old, and going to have pleasure with my lord, Abraham..." She loved
him.
Now you women ought to love your husbands like that, 'cause the
Bible said so. That's right. So much that she called him her lord. That was
little "l-o-r-d. Now. And when they--she did
that...
If you do that (See?), when you--if you'll love your
husbands like that, and you'll honor and love your
wife, the divorce courts will go out of business. That's the way they should
do, for what God has joined together, let no man put asunder.

E-22 After all, I'd rather have the love of God
sealed in my heart than all the gifts there is in the Bible. That's right.
I thought of that here a few nights ago. My little girl called me,
and I told her... She wanted me to come home to her. She loves me, oh, my. And
so I--I... She's... I told her I sent her a little doll. But she didn't want
the doll. She said, "I want you, daddy, not
your doll." See, she wants me.
Well, that's the way I think about Jesus. I love His gifts and
things to help His people, but I want Jesus. The love of God, sealed in your
heart, pressed in until all the world's pressed out
and you see nothing but the Lord, to love Him. And as you love one another, you
love the Lord. If you don't love one another, you can't love
the Lord. He said so. That's right. And God can't move into you.
