    This is amazing. Been anxious thinking about what my future holds and asked someone what to do they said don't let fear run your life. Giving my future to God and my faith is in what he holds for it. Need God to intervene in every aspect of my life.

    3. Be bold and step out in faith before the results are revealed.
    4. Give God the glory

    Your video tutorials have been of enormous as I've ended a thirteen year wilderness and opened a new chapter with the promise and prayer of finding a soul mate. Some four months ago I started "walking out" with a girl from my church and things have progressed to courting. We have a lot in common and laugh lot but I have been guilty of being infatuation and putting her before the Lord. I now realise the importance of working and praying to develop the intimacy of my relationship with the Lord and to make him Lord of my life, my Number ONE. I believe then that He will make it clear to me if she is the one. My fear is that my affections may be stronger than the other way around. I pray for the wisdom not to cut things off too soon but for the courage to call it if that's what the Lord reveals to me.

  • @marykoknal
    @marykoknal 6 років тому +3

    @KimDongnu.....Often we attach more importance to people or things in our life and the attachment to people is more intense in relationships that we lose our focus on God. God is the pillar on which a relationship should stand. By making Him the centre of the relationship we acknowledge to His ways (even when He says no....) we pray for each other, we bring each other closer to God not away from Him. We discern the will of God and keep ourselves away from sins and temptations...of course it does not mean that we forget to have a life as a couple but in all things acknowledge the presence of God and seek His guidance and will. Above all the relationship brings glory to God.....God bless you.

    We talked about this exact story in my Woman's group last night. Perfect timing Mark :) My favorite perspective from last night was that we can encourage each other's ministry and help each other along, just like Mary did for her son. She didn't worry too much that "it wasn't his time"...she gave him the nudge he "needed" to kick off his ministry...and this was the first miracle he performed!

    I have trust in God for my future, but what do I do now? I feel I’m in a season of waiting, have patience. I’m working on a small business so let’s see. But I’m 21 I know I’m young but I feel lots of pressure from society at times. But I try and relax and lay my worries in God. What a loving caring God. 🥲❤️ God bless you all I hope you’re having a good day today if you come across my comment today!

      If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. (Romans 10:9-10) pray to God the father and tell him you receive his son Jesus Christ into your heart and really believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose again the 3rd day and confess it with your lips in prayer to God and you will be saved, from there find a good bible centered Christian church to attend to learn and grow and get yourself a bible so you can read what God’s word has for you 🙏🏻🙌😃

  • @chizee3945
    @chizee3945 6 років тому

    Thanks for the vids.
    I have three questions. Please kindly advise.
    1.] What sort of questions can one ask to find out where a person is spiritually?
    b.] Should a woman ask the deep questions if the man is not asking them?
    c.] A man's marital status on a dating website states he is single. One later finds out he is in fact divorced. Would it be wise to not pursue the relationship further owing to the fact that the "divorced" option was not selected instead? Isn't this a redflag already?

      1. applygodsword.com/what-type-of-person-should-you-marry-qualities-of-a-godly-spouse/
      2. If she wants to know then she should ask. Nothing wrong that.
      3. I don't think that is deal breaker, but if he was trying to be deceptive than that's not good. If he told you later then it seems he was being honest still. Perhaps ask him why he did that. But you have to go with what you feel is right.
