"Choosing The Right Spouse" - The Wilkerson's & Veach's | Awakening

we can't we have been taken time on this we need to take three minutes and everyone should make comments on this but raise your hand if you are single in the room for a moment okay awesome single and in ministry look at that let me just say a couple things about this there's a thing called collateral damage and especially the men in this room and the women in this room you know marriage is either your greatest asset or your greatest liability so you've got to choose wisely and get into this thing called ministry you better find somebody else I'm not saying have to be playing the piano or singing the song or preaching with you but they have got to be heart and soul in it otherwise it's not gonna work and I'll tell you the number one thing that I've seen guys on our team our staff on our team right now that holds them back from really fulfilling all that I think they were put on this earth to do ministry wise is a spouse that's not fully committed to that vision and the truth is is that God's called me to some things don't God's called Anshu some stuff God's called Chad meets got God's called Julia but man if Dawn sharee does not celebrate the calling on my life that I'm never released to be what God's called me to be and so you know one of the questions you asked me is man rich you just you you you must be unhealthy because you just you travel too much that it added out of that I said I always smile oh man we don't know how we do it thanks man oh yeah we're God's good but the reality of it is is that I'm not listening to the voice that I get from somebody else I'm listening to her voice and her voice is saying go her voice is saying I'm with you her voice is saying I support this there's been times when she's told me not to go I guess what we've cancelled things a more where we need to be at and it's not just about pre it's about life you know and I just think the most beautiful thing about me getting to be Who I am is because I've got a partner who supports and celebrates Who I am and the reason why Dawn sure is becoming who she is and is on the journey is because she's got a husband who supports in Champions that and so many people in ministry aww I could talk about it till I'm blue in the face it just makes me sad like they don't they don't make a they don't make a practical choice like choosing a partner should 100% there should be feelings but it should also I hate to say this it should be a good decision like it should be a good decisions like we're just so in love not a good enough decision okay like he just makes me feel some kind of weight not a good enough reason okay because one day you're gonna be 70 and that thing that got you at 21 will probably not be the same things going to keep you at 70 it's got to be something deeper than that it's got to be a calling that's grafted together and I don't I said a real burden for that you know I'm looking right now we're talking with today on our team or planet Church right now and I got some I got some people on the team that I can see it man they're anointed they're called they're graced but they've already they've already yoked up to a partner that's that's that doesn't have the same calling that that doesn't support their callings a better way of saying it and it's holding them back and I don't know Don Sri and I kind of said we're gonna go to this thing called ministry and there's what we're gonna do and we're selling out to this whole thing it's not about money it's not about popularity it's never been about how much influence we can gain it's about we feel called to build the local church and we've been doing that full-on since the last 7 years and God has brought more than we could ever imagine our wildest dreams but it's still someone's ideas going man so what do you what you thought I'm like it's still the same thing we are still sold out to the exact same vision that we're going to build God's house and we believe has God built as we build God's house God builds our house and I would just challenge you those of you a single man like choose wisely because it's important
