Ruth Bell Graham - A Mother's Wisdom

In this special interview, Ruth Bell Graham discusses the joys and trials of motherhood.

[@tht8916]

This woman was a true gift from God for all of us ladies to learn from. I never had children and I still want to hear any advice she has to offer.

[@jeanettec6212]

Billy ask her, do you think God brought us together, she said yes I do. He said he'll lead me and you will follow. Notice he didn't say .. I'll be the leader and you follow. God must be leading the man. A man doesn't step into those shoes to push his wife around. Billy was a man after God's own heart. When a man doesn't walk in obedience, and hurts his wife, God doesn't even listen to his prayers. I've seen alot of men arrogantly think they have a right to demand and force submission on there wife in the name of God. Billy set an example of how God expected it. God will lead... (make sure your listening, and obeying, submitting to him) and she will follow. The promises of God are on your side. See you one day, Billy, and Ruth!

[@swedeblueeyes76]

Thank you for sharing that from God's view of a wife and a mother. Woman of God remember we are God's child and we need lots of Mercy, Grace, and Love and Forgiveness to be the women God has called us to be. There are no perfect Christians just forgiven and each with different talents to be used for His Glory Amen

[@elizabethgitau8825]

Dr Billy and his wife Ruth will continue to Inspire generations to come.thank you God for them.

[@natalinepegues1774]

This is so wonderful. Thank you for making this available to the public. Her final statement in this segment really blessed me. "The promises of God are on your side". Thank you so much, Pastor Nataline Pegues, Horn Lake, Ms

[@winsomelorainepeter6773]

Ruth Bell Graham was an extremely beautiful example of a godly mother and wife. This meant that she had her own flaws and weaknesses and was humble enough to admit this but what truly shines through very powerfully in her life is her Christ like humility and submission to God and His word, and her prayer life and unwavering faith and trust in Gods promises. She comes across as a very real person, just ordinary like everyone else, simple and humble yet so powerful in the impact she has made on her husband, her children, her community and the world. I look forward to meeting her in heaven one day soon to thank her for all the sacrifices she made to walk in total obedience to the Lord so she could leave a legacy for other women. I know she is enjoying her rest in heaven!

[@aileengandeza8445]

She is smart, humble, woman of God.I ❤ listening to her. new generation like me will learn a lot from her.

[@John_Lete]

Have you heard of J.D. Farag...if not please do listen and be blessed. ❤

[@burso463]

Wow! Her message is very comforting to me right now as a mother of boys and in the hard core middle of rasing my 1st teenager as a divorced single parent. Im not even sure how I came across this video today, but thank you God for your goodness in my time of need !

[@kingdomofgodsjoyministriesintl]

God 🙏 brought you to this message

[@John_Lete]

J.D. Farag has blessed me much and believe you too will be blessed by taking a listen...of course it is not about J.D. but about Jesus cause His gospel of grace really frees the heart. ❤

[@gracemalejana7803]

I’m so moved with “we take care of the possible, but we trust God of the impossible”. Even when you’re gone, you and billy still ministers to us :)

[@joann1234]

Amen,,,they are little gold nuggets,practical advice and so blessed that we have this still...

[@dwisdomNYC]

They were the best example of God's light in the earth during the 20th century ❤❤

[@whit9676]

This interview made me cry, it was so surreal how calm and patient seh was 😭😭😭😭❤️

[@cynthiawilliams737]

Boys are challenging to raise at times finding their direction in life but girls are difficult in raising due to all the hormonal changes they go thru each child presents different issues just love them through it all!!

[@mercy-anne672]

When I become a mother, I will strive to be like Ruth Bell Graham!!!! She was a great and godly woman!!!! She is my inspiration!!!!!!!

[@TD-lh7fw]

Mercy-Anne Praying for you to have a good marriage and many beautiful children!

[@dustinkay274]

I hope you are a mother now. You’ll raise great children.

[@rtldulin]

I wish I knew about her before I became a mother. Still is not too late for the Lord.

[@hensleykids2378]

“We’ve got all the promises of God on our side” !!

[@chelseagirl278]

Let’s pray that He redeems them.

[@preciousbhasera6235]

What a legacy. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ amen amen

[@kellykim3684]

I agree almost all of their kids had personal issues but they’ve all come back to serving the Lord now. We all have issues but the difference is a mother’s prayer never goes unheard and they come back no matter how long

[@jukes243]

She's lovely and wise and REAL.

[@elp1246]

A fitting Queen for Billy the King! Bless them both!

[@shericehiggs8064]

She is filled with so much wisdom!

[@johntatum1951]

I am still inspired by Ruth Graham...after only meeting her once way back in 1977...she was really sth...later in my life, I spent 14 years in China as an undercover missionary and ESL teacher...God is faithful.

[@chelseagirl278]

and truly wonderful. God bless you!

[@kittykat632]

Very helpful wisdom. Im a mother of 3 boys. It can be very challenging at times but the reward is so sweet! Prayer is very comforting

[@mercyfoundationchildrensca8446]

Hello my sister Ruth , your a good mammy, I'm also care taker to mercy foundation children's care from Uganda Jinja East Africa, what should I do get Christmas package to my children I'm caring for.

[@sensesorealpr]

I pray my mother may stand by the promises of God, and not discourage me with her judgement. I pray I may not dishonor her by taking things into my own hands. I know God will tranform this situation to a victorious testimony. Thank you Lord, and thank you for these women that are our precious mothers.

[@rma3_3_3]

I remember receiving her small powerful stories monthly called The Attic from Billy Graham's monthly magazine's ♡♡♡ I remember looking forward to reading this and I I would Immediately rush when recieving the magazine to read Ruth Bell Graham's awesome stories ♡♡♡

[@GunnysGirl71]

I took notes. I'm gonna look for her books. How wonderful she is. What wonderful wisdom for mothers.

[@Hanna-fg9kc]

Ohhh My...how i love this Lady to the Moon and back...♥️♥️♥️ an absolute wonderful Mother..⚘

[@chelseagirl278]

I LOVE listening to RGB - she had titanium faith, is so knowledgeable. I could listen to her all day long! "All the promises of God are on your side" Simply beautiful!

[@noirchat1959]

This has been an inspiration to me, and encouragement to continue in Gods promise.

[@2bethankful48]

[@marialenakalamau1267]

Thank you Jesus from words of blessings and wisdom from Ruth graham!!!!😊😊😊😊

[@et1016]

Very thankful she was at my mother.

[@suzettemariano7872]

Wow. Her wisdom is grounded in the word of God! I have learned a lot from every word she said. She is indeed a woman of God and a woman of Word. The weight of being a parent plus the weight of her prodigal sons, and the grace of God surpasess them all. You can tell by the way of the interviewer how it must have beem hard for Ruth to deal it by faith alone, yet her response was like... trust God and the Lord will take care of it all.

[@lindaphillips148]

Such a beautiful honest women!!I love this family!!! Always have!!! God Bless them all!!🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖

[@beccabean5770]

I enjoyed this interview very much. Encouraging and Godly wisdom.

“Take care of the possible; Trust God for the impossible.”- Ruth Graham

[@levykhellyjacob1987]

What I learned now from Ruth Bell Graham, She said : " I will do the possible, But God will do the impossible. "

[@marcodominicgonzales4288]

..."we need to be more accepting of our children"..."an unconditional love...a love that never fails...never ends"...this is a Mother speaking...Ruth was a humble lady yeah...so in this day in age...Mothers...every human is your child...every human...everywhere...as the Mother...LOVE...

[@maureensimpson3928]

Ruth was the true epitomy of a perfect spiritual woman. Her humility and true christian principles speak volume of how Christians should live.

[@weekendmovie3793]

Thanks for sharing the possible vs the impossible. Love is God's way and as a mother we realize how true that is. All of His promises are on my side. What a great thought. I believe in miracles.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN OF GOD

[@kasiasaved6233]

I am mother and father in the same time for my baby girl. I wish I could be only the mom but there is nobody to be the daddy.

[@rebeccawright2038]

My sympathy is with you. It's hard to be a single mom, I know: my daughter and I were where you are now. Don't be looking for a "father" for her. Instead, depend on God. Let Him take care of that. He may provide an earthly father figure for her, but He may choose to be her Abba, Himself. What a great honour! To be God's own special child! Teach her that God is her Abba--her loving Heavenly Father (He is yours, as well!), and teach her His precepts. Read the Gospels with her, on a level that she can understand. The message is in children's Bibles and Bible Story Books. She can indeed know Him! Spend time in His Word on your own, reading the words of Jesus and in the Psalms. That Book has in it all you need to be the kind of mother she deserves. Let her know that God loves her and wants the very best for her, and that, by loving Him, and thru salvation in His Son, her big Brother, Jesus, she can live the life He wants for her by obeying Him, and He will guide her all her life. "Pray without without giving up. . . Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. . .Faithful is He that calleth you, Who also will do it." --I Thessalonians 5:17, 21, & 24

[@chelseagirl278]

Your heavenly Father is her daddy

A mother's love is God love

[@Rosemarie172]

That's funny. It's Moira Brown who interviews for 100 Huntley Street. I thought I recognized her, she used to live on my street in Peterborough. I think that dress is from the early 1980's :o)

[@chelseagirl278]

It definitely is from the 80s, I love Moira. She has such a great personality and loves the Lord!

[@iwalkjesuswaymommy7]

good. lol we need tip. even us granny to.lol

[@LalasKitchenCo]

Forcing a child to smoke an entire box of cigarettes as punishment is considered child abuse in today's world. Nonetheless, I believe this God-fearing mother had good intentions.

[@chelseagirl278]

He learned his lesson and will never do it again :)

[@msbearpsalm3482]

Who is the interviewer?

[@chelseagirl278]

Her name is Moira Brown - she is Canadian and is on 100 Huntley Street. Its on youtube.

[@victorinedempsey3969]

How did God dealt with me?

[@shine.bright.2068]

i just don’t understand her words “i know a few wonderful christian that they do smoke” .... for me it is shocking. I am sure no real christian smokes ! ....

[@kelliemurphy1454]

Rebbe smoking is not the unforgivable sin you know. Just like there are people who drink alcohol but are still Christians. Like Ruth Graham I know some wonderful Christians who smoke, I also know some who drink. As someone once said, smoking won't send you to hell, you'll just smell as though you've been there. All joking apart though, Jesus has a whole lot more to say about those who are quick to judge others thinking their sins not too bad, than he ever had to say about anyone who smoked. Each of us has to look to ourselves before we start pointing the finger at others, thinking their sins are worse than ours.

[@shine.bright.2068]

Kellie Murphy i am not pointing fingers and judging,and for sure i do not think smoking is the unforgivable sin. But we are to sanctify our bodies as christians. We’ve been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ and by that i do not think it is acceptable as christians to smoke or drink. They haven’t burried their desires of the flash. It is not jugdment. I choose what i watch carefully and what people are teaching on internet becouse some are not true! I have the right of opinion when i see something is wrong. And i am still very surprised by what she said. I have always considered BILLY GRAHAM’s family very Godly. He inspired me every time i listen to him,great men of God! But i do not have to accept everything they teach,if something feels wrong to me and it is not according to the word of God! God Bless you

[@kelliemurphy1454]

Rebbe I agree, we have been cleansed by the blood of of Jesus Christ and therefor justified in His sight, but we are being sanctified daily. As we walk with Him he shows us things He wants to change in us. We don't become like Him overnight. All of us change as we walk with Him and for some, smoking might just be something they haven't brought to the Lord yet. Yes you do have right to your opinion as we all do, and we can all see wrong in each other. We shouldn't conclude however that because someone is not perfect yet they're not Christians. All of us still fall short, ALL of us. For some it might be something obvious like smoking, for others perhaps it's something less obvious like a critical spirit or gossip or a bad attitude or any number of other things the Lord wants to change in us. Overcoming the flesh is a process as we learn and grow in Him. As we allow His spirit to do His work in us we do change. There is no specific mention scripturally about smoking, albeit most of us would agree that it's something the Lord probably wants to deal with in the smokers life at some time or other. These people are still "real Christians" nevertheless. Whilst it might be preferable for Christians not to smoke, it's just as important, if not more so, that all the other 'sins' we all have, obvious and not so obvious are brought before Him that He might deal with them in us that we might grow in Him. During all the process of growing in Him and becoming like Him we are still Christians. Sinners, saved by grace and growing more like the Lord as we turn our eyes to Him and away from the world. God bless.

[@shine.bright.2068]

Kellie Murphy i agree with most of what you said. although,i keep my opinion. i have never seen a true christian smoking or drinking or doing things for the flesh. i dont say a i am a perfect christian ,i have a lot to deal with myself. I pray Jesus to cleanse me every day of my sins. God bless you. We have the right to not agree in everything that seems bad. I repet,it is not judgmental. Ruth was an amazing women of God. But that is just a reason not to trust 💯 in people,only in God and His words

[@rebeccawright2038]

To be sure, I have neither smoked, nor used alcohol. Nor will I. However, the personal habits of those who profess Christ as Saviour and Lord are best dealt with by the Holy Spirit and we fellow disciples should let the Spirit do His own work. True Christians may indeed smoke. True Christians may indeed use wine. I have friends who are devoutly Christ loving and use wine. As for smoking Christians, two outstanding servants of the Lord Jesus immediately come to mind: Casper ten Boom, the faithful Dutch Christian who died at the hands of the Nazis, because he hid Jews in an all out effort to save their lives; and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the well-known German theologian who was also martyred by the Nazis, because he openly and strongly opposed Hitler's bid to commandeer the church and make himself its head. The blood of these, His martyrs, cries out from beneath the altar, and God hears. (Revelation 6:9-; As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Jewish believers: "Ye have not yet resisted unto blood."(Hebrews 12:4), so I humbly acknowledge that these men of God are far beyond me in their service and suffering for the cause of Christ.

[@phylclarke]

OH U must be such a sad person..Please ask God to reveal His love to U.Then u wont be feeling bitter.

[@jacksonlevon9882]

Hello Philomena, how're you doing today....? Hope your day is going great.?

[@biancahotca3244]

I think the smoking thing that she said concerning her son was really stupid on her part. That's not a way to go to get your kid to not do something. Pathetic. I heard her say some wise things, but that was stupid.

[@autumnspring6624]

Bianca Hotca It was a different time! She probably thought she was saving him from years and years of smoking. People nowadays would never even fathom something like that. There was also a time when doctors advertised and encouraged smoking as a promoter of health.

[@tracya2794]

Well, I think her kids turned out to be pretty good humans. So, your statement is pathetic and stupid.

[@susieharman2479]

Bianca Hotca Why did you focus only on the negative. No mother is perfect. Your comment was rude and self-righteous. Soooo... you have never made a mistake?

[@julietmensah8242]

Who are you and how old are you, to call this dear and beloved elderly woman of God stupid. Even if you see her peculiar way of raising her child as being wrong , do you have to use the disrespectful word "stupid" in relation to her on social media?

[@gaigongmei4488]

Amen
