Black Tribe Podcast Gary and Lisa Black

Power of words in a marriage/home:

Proverbs 18:21 Life and death are in the tongue, God spoke, life happened, Jesus speaks, life happens, you speak, life happens… or death.

The enemy wants to use your words to destroy - God wants to use your words to create and to bring life.

Matthew 12:36 says that we shall give an account of every idle word on the day of judgment. All of our idle words will be judged at that time. We should not think that after gossiping there is no further problem, for the Lord has said that our idle words will be judged.

In Matthew 12:36, the term "idle" refers to words that are frivolous, meaningless, or spoken without purpose or thoughtfulness. These are words that are not productive or beneficial and may even be harmful or damaging. Jesus is cautioning against speaking carelessly or thoughtlessly, emphasizing the importance of the words we choose to utter.

The verse underscores the accountability we have for our speech. It suggests that even seemingly insignificant or casual words will be subject to judgment. This highlights the seriousness with which Jesus viewed the power of words and the responsibility that comes with using them.

Therefore, the admonition is to be mindful of our speech, to speak with intentionality and integrity, and to refrain from engaging in gossip, slander, or any form of communication that does not reflect the values of love, truth, and compassion.

What is your role in the fight against porn and our young people getting addicted at age 10 on average? We desperately need fathers and mothers who will step up and love a generation into truth and light.

There is a righteous anger stirring up that can defeat this onslaught from the enemy - and it comes through discipleship and prayer.
A really good place to start to learn the stories of the people around you. You can never find the compassion you need to minister until you know the story of how they got there... people need us, and we need people.

It comes down to, whether are you willing to do the work to get to healing. And, are you asking the right questions to get to freedom?

Lisa-Marie - "Men who are addicted to porn, are not good lovers!"

God created marriage, it was one of His first ideas, and He gave us everything we needed to be successful in life, in parenting, in work, and marriage.

We are Spiritual beings, trying to learn how to become human; we need to get back to the Garden of Eden in our marriages.

The big question is, how do we live in the heart of our marriages? It's okay if you are in your late 30s or 40s or... God gave us the manual of how to defeat porn, and how to have a stonkin marriage!

We are diving deep into this podcast on a therapeutic practice that will scare you, and just may save your addiction to porn and your marriage!

When you feel betrayed do you turn into a researcher that can lead you into more darkness or do you turn to trust?

Can we live a transparent life, where we are in full freedom as man and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, as people? Does your spouse have full access to your phone, computer, or life? If not, you need to grow up!

Could this be the shaking of the sacredness of covenant, and how do we live in that space? And, can you build trust in your partner's life?

The cycle of madness... how do we break it?! Women didn't break you, they don't have to fix you...!

20 million women are affected every day by this addiction - just like cocaine, video games, etc. This is a human issue!

How does Porn affect your partner? What a man thinks in his heart... And, what's the difference between getting caught and confession? Do you have the balls to confess, what is your plan for healing, and is your spouse worth it?
