Complacency in the face of brokenness is disobedience.Day 5 of the Stand for Your Marriage Challenge is about recovering godly urgency. Too many spouses grow passive in a season that requires prayer, obedience, rebuilding, and action. Standing is not apathy. Standing is not delay. Standing is movement with God.There is a holy urgency required when something broken needs to be rebuilt.In this teaching, we walk through how to move in God’s timing with prayer in one hand and obedience in the other.Today’s challenge will help you:— confront passivity and complacency— recover urgency in your spiritual life— respond to brokenness with obedience— rebuild with greater intentionality— stand with clarity in God’s timingStanding well means you stop waiting for change while resisting obedience.

| 0:00.0 | What is going on, everybody? Derek Pousa here back with my wife Jordan for day five of the |
| 0:10.1 | Stand for Your Marriage Challenge. Stick in with us and finish strong and allow the Lord to complete |
| 0:15.5 | this week all the way to everything that he spoke over you guys as we finish up here. |
| 0:22.4 | Today is a powerful day. |
| 0:28.6 | And this was, if there was ever a hockey stick and a peak in which the Lord met us at that peak and completely transformed our marriage, we're going to share some of our testimonial |
| 0:33.3 | because this is that moment for us and it should be that moment for you and your spouse. |
| 0:38.4 | Either way, regardless of outcome, nothing should be the same after you reach this moment whenever |
| 0:44.2 | that moment is. And so as we start here, and as my wife and I just kind of lay the foundation |
| 0:50.1 | and intro, I have to communicate the foundation that your soul, which you should already understand |
| 0:56.1 | from the makeup and the teaching of the first four days, your soul is always moving in a direction. |
| 1:02.6 | One of the greatest lies that we hear often in marriage restoration is things just aren't |
| 1:08.4 | changing. Nothing's really happening. He's still the same. She's still the same. |
| 1:12.4 | We're not really in a different place than we were last holidays and we're about to enter |
| 1:15.8 | holidays again. That is not true. You are not in a stagnant season. Your soul is always moving. |
| 1:23.2 | Your spouse's soul is always moving. This is a spiritual law. We are either continually being transformed |
| 1:29.3 | into the image of Christ from one degree of glory to the next, or we are manifesting the fruit of the |
| 1:35.6 | flesh and sitting at the table of demons. There is no in between. That verse even says, you either |
| 1:40.8 | sit at the table of the Lord or sit at the table of demons. You either drink of the cup of the Lord or sit at the table of demons. You either |
| 1:44.4 | drink of the cup of the Lord or drink of the cup of demons. You cannot do both lest you partner |
| 1:49.6 | with them. Speaking of partnership with demons. So there's no in between. In fact, it even says in |
| 1:55.5 | the word that God spits out lukewarm. You're either hot or you're cold. So we know this is repeated |
| 2:00.6 | throughout all of scripture. It's not just some dramat. You're either hot or you're cold. So we know this is repeated throughout all of scripture. |
