[ APPLAUSE ] >> WELL, WELCOME. I'M DR. DOUG WEISS HERE WITH MY LOVELY BRIDE, JONI LAMB. AND WE ARE SO HONORED THAT YOU'VE JOINED US TODAY FOR AN ALL EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL CELEBRATING OUR MARRIAGE IN WHAT WE'RE CALLING LOVE'S MIRACLE. >> YES. YOU KNOW THROUGH EVERY HIGH AND LOVE WE'VE EXPERIENCED IN OUR JOURNEY WE'VE REMAINED COMMITTED TO EACH OTHER AND ANCHORING OURSELVES TO GOD AND WE HAVE TRULY EXPERIENCED A MIRACLE OF LOVE. >> MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN EAGER TO SEE THE BEAUTY BEHIND OUR WEDDING DAY BECAUSE WE COULDN'T INVITE MILLIONS OF YOU. >> I WISH WE COULD HAVE. >> THIS I GUESS OUR WAY FOR MAKING UP FOR THAT. WE'RE GOING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT OUR UNION, HOW WE'VE HONORED GOD AND HOW WE WANT TO SHARE THAT LOVE WITH OTHERS. >> BEFORE APPROACHING THE AISLE TO I DO, DOUG AND I HAD SPECIAL MOMENTS WITH OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS AS THEY PRAYED SPECIAL BLESSINGS OVER US BEFORE THE CEREMONY. TAKE A LOOK. >> FATHER, WE THANK YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS FOR JONI. WE THANK YOU FOR HER LIFE AND HER LOVE AND HER DEDICATION TO YOU. WE THANK YOU THIS IS THE DAY YOU HAVE MADE. WE REJOICE IN IT. LORD, WE THANK YOU THAT YOU HAVE CROWNED HER WITH YOUR GLORY AND BEAUTY. WE THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. >> I JUST PRAY YOUR BLESSINGS UPON DOUG AND JONI, UPON THIS DAY, THIS CEREMONY, AND ALL THE PEOPLE HERE. LET EVERYBODY PERSON HERE BE BLESSED. LET EVERY PERSON HERE EXPERIENCE THE TOUCH OF YOUR LOVE THAT'S HAPPENING HERE TODAY. WE PRAY THAT IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. [ APPLAUSE ] >> WELL, IT BRINGS BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES WATCHING THOSE VIDEOS. >> IT DOES. AND IT'S SO PRECIOUS THAT WE'RE SURROUNDED BY GODLY PEOPLE. YOU'LL SEE THAT IN THE RECEPTION AND THE WEDDING. THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE GODLY PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT AFTER YOUR MARRIED, YOU NEED PEOPLE TO TALK TO AND BE ABLE TO TAKE TO YOU THE THRONE ROOM OF GOD. IT'S SO IMPORTANT. >> WELL, YOU KNOW, JIMMY EVANS PERFORMED THE CEREMONY AND THEN YOUR PASTOR, PASTOR DEAN HAWK, DID A COMMUNION. AND WE HAD SOME GREAT MUSIC BY VICTORY BOYD. ALSO MICHAEL BETHANY AND REBECCA HART. THEY'RE GONNA SING A SONG THAT OUR OWN JOE NINOWSKI WROTE. WHAT'S NEAT ABOUT THAT IS, WHEN JOE FOUND OUT ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP, HE SAID THE LORD KIND OF DOWNLOADED THIS SONG. SO IT'S KIND OF NEAT. AND THEN VICTORY BOYD, SHE WROTE THIS SONG AND IT HAD NEVER BEEN PERFORMED BEFORE. AND WHEN I ASKED HER ABOUT SINGING, SHE SAID I HAVE THE PERFECT SONG THAT I WROTE AND IT'S A WEDDING SONG. SO IT'S KIND OF COOL THAT GOD ORCHESTRATED THAT. >> VERY SPECIAL MUSIC AND EVERYTHING WAS SPECIAL ABOUT THE DAY. YOU WERE REALLY AMAZING. THEY'RE GOING TO SEE. AND SO IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL TIME. IT'S ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS THAT CHANGES YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. AND JESUS WAS PART OF EVERY MOMENT OF IT. THE DATING PROCESS, THE ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS, THE CEREMONY. YOU CAN FEEL HIS PRESENCE. >> YOU KNOW, JIMMY WALKED WITH US THROUGH THIS WHOLE JOURNEY, ACTUALLY BEFORE WE REALLY STARTED DATING. >> I WANT TO TALK TO DOUG. >> YEAH. JIMMY IS VERY PROTECTIVE OVER ME OBVIOUSLY. OF COURSE HE KNEW YOU AND HE KNEW ME BETTER. SO, YOU KNOW, HE DIDN'T JUST SAY THIS IS GREAT. WE KIND OF WENT THROUGH THAT GREAT. >> HE WENT THROUGH MY WHOLE STORY AND HE REALLY APPRECIATED THAT AND HEARD WHAT HE NEEDED TO HEAR TO KNOW THAT I HAD BIBLICAL PREFERENCE FOR WHAT WAS GOING ON IN MY LIFE AND HE MENTORED US. WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO, HERE IS OUR WEDDING CEREMONY.
WATCH THIS. >> HERE WE GO. >> WELL, I WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO THIS SPECIAL CELEBRATION AND THANK YOU FOR COMING. TODAY DR. DOUG WEISS AND JONI LAMB ARE PRESENTING THEMSELVES BEFORE THE LORD AND YOU THEIR WITNESSES THAT THEY MAY ENTER INTO THE SACRED COVENANT OF MARRIAGE. TODAY IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES A TRUE MIRACLE WILL OCCUR IN THIS CHAPEL AS GOD TAKES JONI AND DOUG AND MAKES THEM ONE. THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF MARRIAGE AND SINCE THE FIRST MARRIAGE OCCURRED IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN WHEN GOD CREATED EVE FOR ADAM, THESE WORDS WERE RECORDED. FOR THIS CAUSE A MAN WILL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND JOIN HIS WIFE AND BECOME ONE FLESH. AND THEY WERE NAKED AND THEY WERE NOT ASHAMED. IN THOSE TWO VERSES ARE FOUND THE FOUR FOUNDATIONAL LAWS OF MARRIAGE. WE KNOW THE WORDS THE LORD SPOKE IN GENESIS WEREN'T JUST FOR ADAM AND EVE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE MOTHERS. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE OUR FATHER'S AND MOTHER'S FOR THE SAKE OF MARRIAGE. WHEN GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE HE CREATED LAWS. WITHIN MARRIAGE, LAWS CREATE PREDICTABILITY AND SAFETY. THE FIRST LAW IS THE LAW OF PRIORITY. FOR THIS CAUSE A MAN WILL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER. THE LEAVE THERE MEANS REPRIORITIZE. BEFORE YOU'RE MARRIED, YOUR PARENTS ARE YOUR MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITY. BUT WHEN YOU GET MARRIED YOU HAVE TO REPRIORITIZE. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER. THERE'S ANOTHER SAYING, BLOOD MAY BE THICKER THAN WATER BUT SPIRIT IS THICKER. THIS IS SO PROFOUND THAT IT PRIORITIZES ITSELF OVER BLOOD KIN. THE SECOND LAW OF MARRIAGE IS PPURSUIT. IT MEANS TO PURSUE WITH ALL YOUR ENERGY. IT MEANS TO OVERTAKE. IT MEANS TO WORK HARD. MARRIAGE ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU WORK AT IT. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A MARRIAGE THAT WORKS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED OR HAVE CHEMISTRY. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN TWO PEOPLE SERVE EACH OTHER. WE GET MARRIED SO WE CAN MEET EACH OTHER'S NEEDS. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A SERVANT SPIRIT. THE THIRD LAW OF MARRIAGE IS THE LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. THEY TWO SHALL BECOME ONE. MARRIAGE IS ABOUT SHARING. BEFORE THE FALL THERE'S NEVER A REFERENCE OF ADAM BEING OVER EVE OR EVE BEING OVER ADAM. THEY SHARED EVERYTHING. MARRIAGE DOES NOT WORK WHEN THERE'S DOMINANCE OR CONTROL. ONLY WHEN THERE'S SHARING OF TWO LIVES TOGETHER. THE NEXT LAW IS THE LAW OF PURITY. GOD CREATED MARRIAGE, EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY IN COMPLETE INTIMACY. THEY HAD UNHINDERED ABILITY TO RELATE TO EACH OTHER. UNTIL THEY SINNED, WHEN THEY SINNED, THEY COULD NO LONGER BE FREE. THEY HAD TO HIDE THEMSELVES. MARRIAGE ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU'RE CAREFUL IN WHAT YOU SAY AND DO. WHEN YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR BEHAVIOR. WHEN THERE'S AN ATMOSPHERE OF PURITY, YOU CAN HAVE THE ATMOSPHERE OF MARRIAGE THAT GOD INTENDED. GOD CREATED MARRIAGE, IT WASN'T CREATED BY A LAWYER OR A LEGISLATURE OR A LONELY NEANDERTHAL. IT WAS CREATED BY GOD. WHEN GOD CREATED MARRIAGE, HE CREATED FOUR LAWS TO CREATE ORDER, PREDICTABILITY AND SAFETY. WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE THAT LOVE JESUS. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER AND THE WORD OF GOD. THEY'RE COMING HERE TODAY TO GIVE THEIR LIVES TO EACH OTHER IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD. WHAT'S GOD'S GONNA DO HERE IS TAKE THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE COME AND YOKE THEM TOGETHER SPIRIT TO SPIRIT IN A PROFOUND UNITY. WITH THAT UNITY THIS MARRIAGE IS GOING TO THRIVE AND A LIFETIME. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE. LET'S PRAY. LORD, THANK YOU FOR DOUG AND JONI, AND THANK YOU FOR THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE. THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL UNION THAT YOU HAVE CREATED, THIS BEAUTIFUL COVENANT THAT YOU HAVE CREATED TO BLESS US, LORD. HOLY SPIRIT, WE INVITE YOU INTO THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW TO DO WHAT ONLY YOU CAN DO. AND THAT IS, TO ANOINT THIS SERVICE, TO BLESS THIS CEREMONY, AND TO BLESS DOUG AND JONI AS THEY COME TO ENTER INTO THE SACRED COVENANT OF MARRIAGE. WE PRAY THAT YOU'LL BLESS THEM AND BLESS ALL OF US HERE IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. WHO GIVES THIS WOMAN TO BE MARRIED TO THIS MAN? >> IN HONOR OF OUR LATE FATHER, BILL TRAMMELL, I HER BROTHER GIVE THIS BRIDE. >> CONGRATULATIONS. YOU CAN'T STOP SMILING. WELL, I WANT TO SAY SOME WORDS TO YOU PERSONALLY BEFORE WE START TAKING OUR VOWS HERE. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO WALK THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU. YOU BOTH INVITED ME AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO WALK WITH YOU. AND I WANT TO SAY I'VE NEVER SEEN IN 41 YEARS, I'VE NEVER SEEN A COUPLE COURT AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF KNOWING EACH OTHER AND PREPARING FOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS THAT WAS MORE GODLY AND HEALTHY AND CHRIST-CENTERED AS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP. TYPICALLY I READ EPHESIANS 5 AND I KIND OF ADMONISH COUPLES TO REMEMBER THEIR ROLES IN MARRIAGE. I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT BECAUSE SINCE I HAVE BEEN WALKING WITH YOU GUYS, THAT'S WHAT I'VE SEEN. I'VE SEEN YOU DEMONSTRATE CHRIST LIKE BEHAVIOR. JONI, WITH YOU, PAUL SAID FOR WOMEN, TO RESPECT THEIR HUSBANDS AS THEY DO THE LORD. THAT'S WHAT I'VE SEEN WITH YOU AND DOUG. YOU'VE BEEN SO, YOU HONOR GOD IN EVERYTHING YOU DO, THAT'S WHO YOU ARE. BUT YOU'VE ALSO HONORED DOUG IN EVERY CONVERSATION. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF LONG CONVERSATIONS. SOMETIMES TOUGH CONVERSATIONS. AND EVERY CONVERSATION YOU'RE SO HONORING AND SO CHRIST LIKE. DOUG, AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR COURTSHIP OF JONI YOU LED HER IN A DISCIPLINE OF PRAYING THE WORD AND STUDYING THE WORD EVERY DAY. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT, OF A MAN BEGINNING A RELATIONSHIP WITH A WOMAN HE WAS INTERESTED IN THAT WAY. IT'S SO CHRIST LIKE. PAUL SAID YOU LOVE YOUR WIVES AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH. THAT'S WHAT I'VE SEEN YOU DO. I'VE SEEN HER FLOURISH. I WANT TO SAY HOW PROUD I AM OF BOTH OF YOU. YOU COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT BETTER AND I KNOW THE LORD IS GOING TO BLESS YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. WE'RE GONNA DO THIS NOW. DOUG, WILL YOU HAVE JONI TO BE YOUYOUR WEDDED WIFE IN THE HOLY STATE OF MATRIMONY? WILL YOU KEEP YOURSELF UNTO HER ALONE AS LONG AS YOU BOTH SHALL LIVE? >> I WILL. [ LAUGHTER ] >> I BELIEVE YOU. >> JONI, WILL YOU HAVE DOUG TO BE YOUR WEDDED HUSBAND IN THE HOLY STATE OF MATRIMONY. WILL YOU LOVE HIM AND FORSAKING ALL OTHERS WILL YOU KEEP YOURSELF UNTO HIM ALONE AS LONG AS YOU BOTH SHALL LIVE? >> WILL. >> DOUG, REPEAT AFTER ME? >> I DOUG TAKE THEE JONI, TO BE MY WEDDED WIFE, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, FOR RICHER OR POORER, IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, TO LOVE AND TO CHERISH, 'TIL DEATH DO US PART. ACCORDING TO GOD'S HOLY ORDINANCE. AND THERE TO, I PLEDGE TO YOU ALL OF MY LOVE. >> JONI, WOULD YOU REPEAT AFTER ME. I JONI TAKE THEE DOUG, TO BE MY WEDDED HUSBAND. TO HAVE AND HOLD FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, FOR BETTER FOR WORSE. FOR RICHER OR POORER, IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH, TO LOVE AND TO CHERISH, UNTIL DEATH DO US PART. ACCORDING TO GOD'S HOLY ORDINANCE AND THERE TO, I PLEDGE TO YOU MY LOVE. >> FIRST RECORDED MIRACLE OF JESUS' MINISTRY HERE ON EARTH WAS AT A WEDDING CEREMONY. HE ASKED THE SERVANTS TO TAKE THE POTS THAT WERE TYPICALLY USED FOR PURIFICATION, AND HE ASKED THEM TO FILL THE POTS WITH WATER AND WE KNOW THAT MIRACLE WAS THE WATER WAS TURNED INTO WINE. NUMBER ONE, I LOVE IT THAT WE SEE JESUS WAS INVOLVED IN THE WEDDING CEREMONY. NUMBER TWO, I THINK THAT WINE IS SYMBOLIC OF THE LAST SUPPER WHEN JESUS GATHERED WITH HIS DISCIPLES AND HE HAVENEDE -- HANDED THEM THE CUP OF WINE AND HE SAID MY BLOOD IS REPRESENTED AS YOU TAKE OF THIS CUP. DO IT IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME. AND TODAY, DOUG AND JONI WANT TO BEGIN THEIR UNION TOGETHER AS HUSBAND AND WIFE BY HONORING THE LORD AND TAKING COMMUNION TOGETHER. AND BUILDING THEIR RELATIONSHIP FOUNDED ON THE ROCK OF JESUS CHRIST. I'M REMINDED OF THE WORDS OF RUTH WHEN RUTH SAID WHEREVER YOU GO I WILL GO. WHEREVER YOU LIVE I WILL LIVE. YOUR PEOPLE WILL BECOME MY PEOPLE. AND YOUR GOD WILL BE MY GOD. WHEREVER YOU DIE, I WILL DIE. AND THERE I WILL BE BURIED. MAY THE LORD PUNISH ME SEVERELY IF I ALLOW ANYTHING BUT DEATH TO SEPARATE US. LET'S PRAY. LORD JESUS, WE ARE HONORED TO COMING INTO YOUR HOLY PRESENCE AT THE CELEBRATION OF THIS WEDDING. AND WE RECOGNIZE THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST IN BOTH DOUG AND JONI'S LIFE, THEIR YEARS OF FAITHFULNESS TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. BUT TODAY THEY COME TOGETHER IN THE COVENANT OF MARRIAGE, AND THEY WANT TO HONOR YOU, AND TO REMEMBER THAT YOUR BODY WAS BEATEN AND THAT BY YOUR STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. THAT YOUR BLOOD WAS SHED, JESUS, AND BY THAT SHEDDING OF BLOOD, WE HAVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. AND SO, LORD, AS THEY COME TO THE ROCK OF THEIR MARRIAGE, THE FOUNDATION OF THEIR MARRIAGE, IN JESUS CHRIST, WE JUST PRAY FOR YOUR DIVINE ANOINTING. THEY'VE EACH WALKED IN THEIR OWN ANOINTING, BUT NOW THAT UNITY IS COMING TOGETHER AS HUSBAND AND WIFE, AS THEY ARE JOINED TOGETHER AS ONE. SO, LORD, WE RELEASE YOUR SPIRIT. WE RELEASE YOUR POWER. WE RELEASE YOUR PRESENCE TO DO MORE IN THEM TOGETHER THAN THEY COULD DO STANDING ALONE. IN YOUR NAME WE HONOR YOU, GOD, AND WE PRAISE YOU. AMEN. >> DOUG, YOU HAVE A TOKEN OF YOUR PLEDGE? >> I DO. >> WOULD YOU PUT IT ON JONI'S FINGER AND REPEAT AFTER ME? >> WITH THIS RING I THEE WED. IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. >> JONI, WOULD YOU TAKE DOUG'S RING AND PUT IT ON HIS FINGER. >> WITH THIS RING I THEE WED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. LET'S PRAY. FATHER, WE PRAY ALTOGETHER THAT BY YOUR SPIRIT THAT YOU WILL TAKE THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT CAME IN HERE THIS AFTERNOON AND NOW YOU'LL MAKE THEM ONE. BY THE POWER OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT YOKE THEM SPIRIT TO SPIRIT, HEART TO HEART. ONE MIND, ONE HOME, ONE PURPOSE AND ONE DESTINY. LORD, EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO THAT THEIR MARRIAGE WILL GLORIFY YOU IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. >> AMEN. >> AMEN. BREATHING IT WILL NEVER COME [ APPLAUSE ] >> BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME BY THE STATE OF TEXAS AND JESUS CHRIST, I PRESENT TO YOU DR. DOUGLAS WEISS AND MRS. WEISS, LOVERS FOR LIFE, MAN AND WIFE, YOU CAN KISS YOUR BRIDE. >> YAY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, IT'S LIKE GOING BACK TO MEMORY LANE. IT'S AMAZING. I HOPE YOU WERE BLESSED BY THE CEREMONY. WE'RE GLORY TO GOD -- GOING TO SHOW THE RECEPTION. WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THE WEDDING? >> I WAS THERE, I LOVED IT THE FIRST TIME AND THE SECOND TIME AND THE THIRD TIME. I LOVE IT. I HAVE TO THANK JIMMY AND EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP WAS INCREDIBLE. >> WELL, BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, I WANT TO INVITE TWO OF OUR DEAREST FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US SINCE THE BEGINNING AND HAVE BEEN A HUGE BLESSING TO OUR STORY, THAT'S CINDY AND DARIUS JOHNSTON. WELCOME. [ APPLAUSE ] >> HOW ARE YOU? >> BRIGHT COLORS ON. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. >> WE TRIED TO COME PREPARED FOR THE OCCASION. >> THESE ARE MY FAVORITE COLORS, THIS I GUESS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR TOO, PURPLE. BUT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WITH US FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN WE STARTED DATING, DARIUS, I TOLD YOU AS PASTOR FOR OVER HOW MANY YEARS? >> ABOUT 40 YEARS. >> I SAID, DARIUS, I WANT YOUR HONEST OPINION AND ASSESSMENT. >> SHE WAS TRYING TO AVOID THAT WORD ASSESSMENT. >> I GAVE THE ASSESSMENT. >> I THINK JUST GETTING TO HANG OUT, WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO BE UP THERE FOR A FEW DAYS AND MEET DOUG AND INTERACT. OBVIOUSLY WE KNEW ABOUT HIM. WE KNEW AS AN AUTHOR AND A TEACHER AND A DOCTOR, BUT SPENDING THOSE TIMES OUT OF PUBLIC LIFE AND SEEING THE REAL PERSON I THINK WAS GREAT FOR US. >> YES. AND I WAS, OF COURSE, BEING ONE OF YOUR BESTIES, I WAS LIKE, I PROBABLY ASKED YOU WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THIS, HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT? AND WHEN I MET DOUG, THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT HIM, THE WAY HE LOVED YOU AND CARED FOR YOU, HE WAS SO INTENTIONAL ABOUT THE THINGS THAT HE DID. AND WE LOVE HIM. WE THINK HE'S JUST YOUR COOL GUY. >> WELL, I KNOW DARIUS, YOU ASKED SOME QUESTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, YOU WANTED TO HEAR THE STORY AND WE'VE SHARED SOME OF OUR STORY ON A PREVIOUS<i>TABLE</i> TALK . BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT UNDERSTAND PEOPLE LIKE YOU GUYS, AND ALSO JIMMY EVANS AND OTHERS, WHO HAVE BEEN IN MINISTRY FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, WALKED THIS JOURNEY WITH ME. I ASKED YOU, DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS, RED FLAGS, THAT WAS EARLY ON. >> YES, WE HAD A LOT OF THOSE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS. FROM EARLY ON WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED TALKING, WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO KIND OF THROW BACK SOME THOUGHTS AND SAY, HEY, LET'S PRAY ABOUT THAT. AS I WATCHED YOU WALK THROUGH THE JOURNEY, JONI, I HAVE TO SAY HOW PROUD I AM OF YOU AND THE TO HAVE OF YOU ABOUT THE CHOICES YOU MADE. >> GOT TO STAY SEXUALLY PURE. >> STAYING SEXUALLY PURE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY. AND YOU BOTH TOLD US, ASK US NOW AS A 60 YEAR OLD, THAT'S
PROBABLY RARE TO PROTECT THE WOMAN YOU'RE DATING. BUT IT WAS SO IMPORTANT FOR ME TO PROTECT HER, BECAUSE AS WHO GOD HAS HER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. I DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH HIS GIRL. THAT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW. THIS IS A GOD THING. THE WHOLE THING WAS A GOD THING. >> WELL, I MEAN, YOU WENT THROUGH A DIVORCE AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND AFTERWARDS, WE BEGAN TO TALK BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME BUSINESS THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON AT DAYSTAR. AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS DIVORCED. AND THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED TALKING AFTER THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING TO ME, DARIUS -- >> WITHOUT ANY INTENT OF THIS IS GOING SOMEWHERE. WE DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS GOING SOMEWHERE UNTIL IT WAS THERE. >> YOU'VE KNOWN EACH FOR MANY YEARS. >> AND MARCUS AND LOVED HIM. >> MARCUS AND I LOVED HIM VERY MUCH. MARCUS USED TO TELL ME, HE WOULD SAY, SWEETHEART, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME, I WANT YOU TO GT MARRIED AGAIN. I HONESTLY THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET MARRIED AGAIN. ONCE HE WAS GONE HIS WORDS REVERBERATED WITH ME. THERE WERE SEVERAL PROPHETIC WORDS FROM PEOPLE THAT I KNOW AND TRUST THAT SAID GOD'S GOING TO PUT YOUR HEART BACK TOGETHER AND HE'S GOING TO SEND SOMEONE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHO OR WHEN. THE LORD REALLY BROUGHT US TOGETHER. YOU WERE THERE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WE HAD LONG CONVERSATIONS, YOU AND RHONDA AND CINDY MURDOCK, THEY'RE MY THREE BESTIES. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD BRIDES MAIDS, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN THEM. >> WE PRETENDED WE WERE. >> THERE YOU ARE, WE'RE IN THE BACK ROOM. YOU'VE BEEN SUCH A GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT TO ME AND TO DOUG. I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS, DARIUS, THAT YOU IS SAID TO BOTH OF US IS THAT, GIVE YOURSELF TIME. AND SO WE WENT MANY MONTHS, HE LIVES IN COLORADO, I LIVE HERE IN TEXAS, BUT WE WERE INTENTIONAL ON SEEING EACH OTHER WHEN WE COULD. >> A LOT OF PLANE TICKETS. WE SPENT THOUSANDS. >> AND A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS. >> WE SPENT 60 HOURS TALKING BEFORE WE MET. >> I LOVE THE INTENTIONALITY THAT YOU DID THERE. CINDY SHARED THIS, THAT YOU HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT YOU WOULD ASK EACH OTHER EVERY DAY AND YOU DID A BIBLE STUDY EVERY DAY. >> WE STILL DO. >> THIS IS GONNA BE A FOUNDATION OF OUR RELATIONSHIP. I REMEMBER HAVING SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT. >> AND GOD SHOWS UP AT THE BIBLE STUDIES. HE GIVES US LOTS OF REVELATION. REVELATION.. SO IN THE COURTING STAGE, WE ASKED PROBABLY A LOT OF QUESTIONS. SHE CARRIED IT IN HER PURSE. ON THE PHONE WE'D DO FOUR OR FIVE AT A TIME. WE ALREADY KNEW THE CHARACTER AND THE HEART OF EACH OTHER. >> WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 40 YEARS THIS YEAR AND STILL SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DID DURING YOUR COURTSHIP, REALLY INSPIRED US IN WAYS OF SHARING THE FEELINGS EVERY NIGHT. >> YEAH. BECAUSE CINDY TOLD ME, WE'VE GOT TO START ASKING EACH OTHER THESE QUESTIONS. >> THAT'S AWESOME. PRAISE GOD. >> I LOVE THAT. WELL, WE'RE GONNA SHOW THE RECEPTION RIGHT NOW, BUT CINDY HE'S GOING TO GIVE A TOAST AND MY OTHER CINDY AND RHONDA. WE'RE TOASTING WITH SPARKLING. >> NONALCOHOLIC DRINKS. >> ZERO ALCOHOL. >> NEITHER ONE OF US DRINKS. >> THERE WAS NO ALCOHOL. I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT'S ALCOHOL. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DANCE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER. THIS IS THE RECEPTION. WE WERE MARRIED AND WE HAD SO LET'S WATCH THIS TOGETHER. >> WELCOME JONI AND DR. DOUG'S WEDDING RECEPTION. >> LET'S HEAR IT FOR JONI AND DOUG! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> IN I CORINTHIANS, PAUL TELLS US LOVE NEVER GIVES UP, NEVER LOSES FAITH AND ALWAYS ENDURES. JONI, GOD HAS CHOSEN A WONDERFUL HUSBAND FOR YOU. HE HAS EMBRACED YOUR FAMILY FRIENDS AND MINISTRY WITH SUCH ENTHUSIASM. FOR THAT I SAY TO YOU, DOUG, THANK YOU SO MUCH, FOR MAKING MY BESTIE SO HAPPY. I RESPECT YOU AND I LOVE YOU BOTH. MAY THE FAVOR AND THE BLESSINGS OF GOD BE UPON BOTH OF YOU AS YOU STEP INTO YOUR NEW LIFE FOREVER. SO WOULD YOU RAISE YOUR GLASS TO THIS BEAUTIFUL COUPLE, DR. DOUG AND JONI WEISS. CHEERS. >> JONI HAS BEEN A FRIEND THAT IS ALWAYS THERE. SHE MAKES A PLACE FOR THOSE THAT SHE LOVES. SHE MAKES A PLACE FOR THOSE THAT SHE BELIEVES IN. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M SO GRATEFUL. I LOVE YOU, I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR FRIENDSHIP. AND, DOUG, I'M SO THANKFUL FOR YOU. AND DAVID AND I ARE JUST SO HAPPY TO WELCOME YOU INTO OUR LIVES AND WE THANK YOU FOR THE MAN OF GOD THAT YOU ARE TO JONI. YOUR LOVE TO HER, YOUR ADORATION, YOUR KINDNESS, YOUR WARMTH, YOUR CARING. AND AS YOU EMBARK THIS INCREDIBLE JOURNEY TOGETHER, THAT I PRAY GOD'S BLESSING AND HIS FAVOR UPON YOUR LIVES. SO I JUST WANT TO ASK Y'ALL TO RAISE YOUR GLASS AND LET'S TOAST TO JONI AND DOUG WEISS. >> CONGRATULATIONS, DOUG AND JONI. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY AND RECEPTION. I'M SO HONORED TO BE HERE. I MET JONI IN THE SUMMER OF 1984. WE WERE TWO EVANGELIST WIVES. AND HER LIFE WAS CHARACTERIZED BY A SURRENDER TO THE LORD AND A DESIRE TO PLEASE HIM. IN THAT LITTLE ROOM IN THAT HOUSE OF MONTGOMERY, WE SAND WITH OUR SOUNDTRACKS, GETTING OUR SONGS READY TO MEET THE NATIONS. WE WOULD WORSHIP AND CRY. AND HER LIFE WAS ALWAYS CHARACTERIZED BY A DESIRE TO PLEASE THE LORD. AND THOSE HOURS OF WORSHIP WE FOUND A COMMON GROUND, AND THAT WAS IT WAS SUCH AN HONOR TO BE A PART OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. FROM THAT TIME ON FOR 39 YEARS, YOU HAVE REMAINED CONSTANT. I MIGHT HAVE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE IN THE ROOM TONIGHT, BECAUSE OUR HUSBANDS WENT TO HEAVEN 8 WEEKS APART FROM EACH OTHER. I SAW JONI RISE IN SURRENDER AND A DESIRE TO PLEASE THE LORD. AND THE WORLD SAW HER AS A DEBORAH RISE UP AND MY WORLD SAW ME AS I WAS INSTALLED AS THE LEAD PASTOR WHEN MY HUSBAND WENT TO HEAVEN. BUT WHAT THEY DIDN'T SEE AND HEAR WAS THE EARLY MORNING CONVERSATIONS, THE LATE NIGHT CONVERSATIONS, WE COULD CRY UNTIL WE COULDN'T CRY ANYMORE. WE WOULD GRIEVE -- THIS IS GOING SOMEWHERE GOOD. WE WOULD SAY IN THAT MOMENT, YOU WONDER DOES THE WORLD KNOW WE ARE HUMAN? DOES THE WORLD KNOW THAT WE GRIEVE WITH HOPE? WE WOULD MAKE A DECISION TO GET UP AND GO DO OUR ASSIGNMENT AGAIN. AFTER A LITTLE ICE CREAM AND A LITTLE SHARK TANK. ABOUT THE SPRING OF 2022, THE LORD STARTED HEALING US. HIS JOY BEGAN TO RETURN. BUT JONI IN THAT SEASON, HER LIFE WAS STILL CHARACTERIZED BY A DESIRE TO PLEASE THE LORD ABOVE ALL ELSE AND A SURRENDER TO HIM. AND THEN SOMETIME LATER, ENTERED DR. DOUG. TO BE ONE OF YOUR COMRADES THAT YOU TALK TO A LOT, STILL THAT DESIRE WAS STILL THERE. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH HER THROUGH THIS WORSHIP. WE ARE SO HAPPY TO WELCOME YOU, DR. DOUG, TO OUR FAMILY. THIS IS WHAT I'M GONNA CLOSE WITH, A SCRIPTURE THE LORD GAVE ME FOR YOU TWO OUT OF JEREMIAH 33:10. IN ISRAEL'S LIFE, THEY HAD INCREDIBLE DEVASTATION AND LOSS. THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SPOKE TO JEREMIAH AND SAID, THERE SHALL BE AGAIN HURT IN THIS PLACE, THE VOICE OF JOY AND THE VOICE OF GLADNESS. THE VOICE OF THE BRIDEGROOM AND THE VOICE OF THE BRIDE. AND THE VOICE OF THOSE THAT SAY IN THIS ROOM AND ABROAD, PRAISE THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD AND HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. AMEN. AND SO TONIGHT, I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO JOIN ME IN RAISING A TOAST TO THE BLESSINGS UPON DR. DOUG AND JONI. WE LOVE YOU AND WE SALUTE YOU TONIGHT. >> DOUG IS A MAN WHO IS INCREDIBLY FAITHFUL. INCREDIBLY DRIVEN FOR THE KINGDOM AND SEEING GOD'S BEST. A TOTAL GO-GETTER. AND JUST AN AMAZING MAN OF GOD. AND SO, IN FACT, WHENEVER I NEEDED ADVICE IN MY LIFE, OR I WAS AT A CRITICAL TURNING POINT, I WOULD CALL DOUG. AND DOUG IS BUSY. I'M BUSY, HE IS BUSY. AND NEVER ONCE DID I EVER GET YOU I'LL PENCIL YOU IN NEXT WEEK. OR CAN WE DO THIS NEXT MONTH? IT WAS ALWAYS, LET'S MEET FOR LUNCH AND TALK IT THROUGH. YOU'VE BEEN A FAITHFUL FRIEND. I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA BE THE SAME TO JONI. AND WHAT SO EXCITES ME IS THAT BOTH OF YOU ARE POWERHOUSES FOR THE KINGDOM INDIVIDUALLY. BUT IN THIS MARRIAGE GOD IS BRINGING YOU BOTH TOGETHER AND ONE SET A THOUSAND TO FLIGHT, TWO 10,000. THE POWER OF IT TOGETHER AT SUCH A CRITICAL TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD AND OUR COUNTRY, I THINK IS ONE OF GOD'S ANSWERS TO TURN THE TIDE FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN OUR TIME. I BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL MY HEART. LET'S RAISE OUR GLASSES TO OUR FRIENDS, DOUG AND JONI. MAY YOUR YEARS BE LONG. MAY YOUR HEART BE FULL OF EVER INCREASING LOVE; AND MAY EVERYONE WHO MEET YOU SMELL THE SWEET FRAGRANCE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. CHEERS. >> I HAVE WATCHED DOUG IMPACT MULTITUDES IN MY CITY AND BEYOND. HE'S MINISTERED WITHIN MY CHURCH. HE'S CHANGE MEN'S LIVES. HE'S EQUIPPED MEN. AND AS A PASTOR, I'VE SEEN THE BOOKS, THE KNOWLEDGE THE WISDOM THAT HE'S WRITTEN CHANGE PEOPLE. AS A LOCAL CHURCH PASTOR I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THE WISDOM THAT GOD HAS GIVEN HIM. AND I ECHO WHAT ONE OF YOU SAID, AS MY WIFE KIM AND I HAD THE JOY OF GETTING TO KNOW JONI OVER THIS PAST YEAR, EIGHT MONTHS AND THEM COMING TO COLORADO AND JUST THE JOY OF GETTING TO KNOW THEM BOTH. SHE IS HER OWN POWERHOUSE IN HER OWN RIGHT. AND THE COMBINATION, DYNAMIC DUO, I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IS BATMAN OR ROBIN, BUT YOU MAKE A GREAT DUO. I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT GOD DOES FOR YOU ON THIS JOURNEY. LIFT YOUR GLASSES AND A TOAST TO DR. DOUG AND JONI WEISS. >> BEFORE WE RAISE OUR GLASSES ONE MORE TIME, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY GOOD FRIEND DOUG TO THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT KNOW HIM. DOUG AND I HAVE WORKED TOGETHER ON VARIOUS FILM PROJECTS AND I'VE BEEN HONORED TO CALL HIM A FRIEND. MY WIFE AND I ARE FILMMAKERS AND DURING THE EARLY DAYS OF WORKING WITH DOUG, I LEARNED OF DOUG'S ZEAL AS A HIGH ACHIEVER, JUST LIKE FRED WAS SAYING. DOUG AND I WERE PART OF CHRISTIAN CEO'S ALONG WITH FRED AND WE WOULD GET TOGETHER AND IN THIS ONE INSTANCE WE WERE AT LARRY'S HOUSE IN MINNEAPOLIS AND IT'S LATE IN THE EVENING AND DOUG COMES AND SAYS, HEY, YOU WANT TO GO FOR A SWIM TOMORROW MORNING AROUND 5 A.M.? AROUND 4 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. THIS IS TYPICAL DOUG. SO I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT SOUNDS FUN, I'M PRETTY ADVENTUROUS. THEN HE COMES BACK, AND I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I DIDN'T KNOW LARRY HAD A POOL. AND HE SAID, NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE LAKE. LET'S GET UP AT 4 A.M. AND SWIM ACROSS THE LAKE TO THE OTHER SIDE. SO, NOW, MIND YOU, IT'S LATE OCTOBER, AND THERE'S ICE ON THE BANK OF THIS LAKE. THIS GUYS WANTS ME TO GET UP AT 4 A.M. AND SWIM ACROSS. LET ME CHECK MY CALENDAR. I'M SCHEDULED TO BE SLEEPING AROUND 3:30 SO I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA MAKE IT. BUT NO DOUBT, DOUG'S OUT THERE AT 4 A.M. DODGING BOATS IN THE DARK, UNTANGLEING HIMSELF FROM FISHING NETS. THAT'S DOUG. FRED KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THAT IS THE DOUG. HE IS RELENTLESS. IT'S DOUG'S PASSIONATE LOVE FOR JESUS THAT HAS GIVEN HIM SUCH GREAT DETERMINATION, DISCIPLINE AND TO MAKE IT HIS LIFE MISSION TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE AND BRING HEALING TO THE BROKEN. IT'S YOUR HONESTY AND INTEGRITY THAT HAS SERVED THE KINGDOM WELL. I KNOW THIS PARTNERSHIP IS GOING TO ONLY HELP THE KINGDOM. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER FOR YOU, MY FRIEND AND WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. IN THE SPIRIT AND FASHION OF DOUG' ZEST AND PURSUING WHAT'S PURE AND GOOD AND SETTING THE BAR ABOVE AND BEYOND THE NORM, LET'S RAISE OUR GLASSES TO TOAST THE GREATEST GIFT TO DOUG'S LIFE, MISS JONI WEISS. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS, CHEERS. >> NOW AT THIS TIME, DOUG, I'D LIKE YOU TO INVITE YOU TO THE DANCE FLOOR. YOU HAVE A SPECIAL FATHER-DAUGHTER DANCE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ] >> WELL, THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN. WE HOPE THAT OUR STORY HAS MINISTERED TO YOUR HEART AND ENCOURAGED YOU ON OUR JOURNEY TO ALWAYS BELIEVE, HOPE AND BE OPEN TO THE MIRACLE THAT GOD WANTS TO DO IN YOUR LIFE. IT'S SO FUN TO SHARE THIS. >> IT REALLY IS AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE KIND AND GRACIOUS AND LOVING COMMENTS AND REMARKS. SO MANY OF YOU HAVE SENT THEM TO ME AND IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR US AS WE'RE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE'RE EXCITED, I KNOW YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT SOULS COMING TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND REALLY, AT THE END OF THIS PROGRAM, WE WOULD BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRAY. THOSE OF YOU WATCHING, MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW JESUS. THAT IS AT THE CENTER OF WHAT WE DO AND EVERYTHING AS FAR AS WHO WE DO. WOULD YOU LEAD US IN A PRAYER? >> ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE HAVING RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGES AND MAYBE THIS WEDDING REMINDED YOU IT'S NOT HAPPENING THAT WAY FOR YOU. YOU MIGHT HAVE PRODIGAL OR HEALTH ISSUES, CALL THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW JESUS CHRIST, AND YOU'RE FEELING, I NEED TO, PRAY THIS SIMPLE PRAYER AFTER ME. JESUS, FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS. I NEED TO COME HOME TODAY. I ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. WELL, IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER, YOU'VE NOW ENTERED INTO A NEW MARRIAGE YOURSELF TODAY WITH THE MOST HIGH GOD. WE WANT TO GIVE YOU THE BOOK, NOW WHAT? SO YOU CAN FOLLOW THROUGH AND LET THAT MARRIAGE BECOME MATURE. BECAUSE NOW HE'S IN COVENANT WITH YOU. >> AND CALL US, LET US KNOW IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER. WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY. TODAY IS THE BEGINNING OF THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. I I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT THOSE GAVE THE TOAST, FRED WAS WITH YWAM FOR OVER 40 YEARS. >> GREAT APOSTLE. >> THERE HE IS. >> AND THEN YOUR PASTOR, PASTOR DEAN HAWK THERE IN COLORADO SPRINGS. IS IT THE ROCK? >> ROCK FAMILY CHURCH. >> AND THEN JEREMY WILES. >> HE'S A KINGDOM FILM PRODUCER AND ALL THAT. >> AND THEN DARIUS AND CINDY. MY BEST TEASE, CINDY JOHNSTON, CINDY MURDOCK AND RHONDA DAVIS. WHAT A BLESSING TO HAVE RHONDA THERE. SHE'S GOT THAT PREACHER ON HER. I HOPE YOU WERE BLESSED BY HEARING SOME OF THEIR STORIES. THERE WE ARE STANDING ON THAT DAY. I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT THE LORD BROUGHT YOU INTO MY LIFE. I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR WHAT HE'S ALLOWING US TO DO. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WONDER, I WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD AT DAYSTAR AND THAT WAS MY HUSBAND'S REQUEST BEFORE HE PASSED. AND OF COURSE DOUG HAS COME ALONGSIDE TO BE A GREAT BLESSING IN MINISTRY WITH ME. AND YOU HAVE STILL HAVE YOUR COUNSELING CENTER IN COLORADO AND PEOPLE CAN STILL GET HELP STILL. >> GOD IS DO SO MANY THINGS. I HOPE WE ENCOURAGED YOU TO GO BACK TO THAT DAY WHEN YOU SAID I DO AND START DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU COMMITTED TO DO, TO LOVE HONOR AND CHERISH AND PUSH THROUGH. AND GET SOME DISCIPLINES IN YOUR LIFE LIKE OTHERS HAVE TALKED ABOUT, PRAY TOGETHER, READ THE WORD OF GOD TOGETHER, PLAY TOGETHER. TURN OFF THINGS THAT ARE DISTRACTING TO YOU AND REALLY ENJOY YOUR MARRIAGE. >> I FEEL LIKE I SENSE THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD DURING THE CEREMONY AND AS WE SHARED IT TODAY, SO WE HAVE ABOUT 20 SECONDS, DARIUS, WOULD YOU PRAY US OFF THE AIR TODAY? >> HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU TODAY BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT LOVE IS YOUR GIFT. LORD, I PRAY SPECIFICALLY TODAY FOR THOSE THAT ARE HURTING, THAT YOUR HOLY SPIRIT WOULD FILL THAT GAP IN THEIR LIVES. I PRAY IN EVERY HOME THERE WOULD BE A RENEWED SENSE OF YOUR PRESENCE, OF YOUR LOVE, JOY AND PEACE. MAY THEY MAKE CHRIST THE CENTER OF THEIR HOME AND DISCOVER YOUR PRESENCE EVERY DAY. I SPEAK THAT IN JESUS' NAME FOR YOUR GLORY.
