Main message: Obey and walk in God's Word so you can flourish—honor God and others, forgive, use the authority Christ gave you, and resist the devil rather than letting him derail your life.

Key points:

• Know and practice the other person's (especially your spouse's) definition of respect and honor; relationships require understanding and obedience.
• Choose obedience to God even when you disagree; blessings follow obedience.
• Forgive people (even undeserving) because your forgiveness and love affect what God can do in your life.
• Use your spiritual authority—confession, prayer, tongues, and rebuking the enemy—to resist Satan; “resist him and he will flee.”
• Be wise about where you go and what you expose yourself/your children to; raise children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
• Do what God specifically tells you to do (don’t add extras)—small obedient acts (the “get chicken” story) fit into God’s larger plan.

Scriptures mentioned: Jeremiah, Psalms (also verbal references/quotes to Biblical sayings such as “no weapon formed against us,” “resist him and he will flee,” and “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”)
