I’ve been working on myself for 4 years and I long to be married. I’m 43 and trying not to feel hopeless but whatever God has for me, I trust Him wholeheartedly.
@@dreamgirlbethablehave u ever been engaged even?
Don’t feel hopeless I’m 46 and never been married. However I do think I’m cursed because I had a wonderful man of GOD that wanted to marry me but I called things off now he is heaven and I feel like I missed my chance.
@@ceresahayden2638oh my goodness, no no no , you are not cursed , work on that
Thinking
@@dreamgirlbethabledamn, waited to long. You wanted the perfect man when the man on your level was always in your face. You did this to yourself.
@@ceresahayden2638Damn, y’all down bad. Had a good thing right in your face and you willingly turned it down.
I’ve chose wrong to many times, I have changed my standards I’ve been single for 13 years and loving God with all my heart. I embrace my singleness and only want who God wants for me. I want love I want relationship, but I’m not settling, I’m 64 years young and love my life.
Amen
Amen…keep your faith…But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 🔥🙌🏽
Yes me too I totally agree with what you said!
64 and not settling? Give it up lady😂😂😂
* 64 years were an error...
What an incredible man of God. The woman that God has for him will be so blessed.
he Will also be blessed by the woman God has for him😊
In Jesus name!!! 💜
I think he needs ME ❤ an older woman.
@@belleangel6498🤣🤣🤣
He is or was married
Over 50 and so happy to be single and not dealing with foolishness!! I rebuke loneliness and doubt because God has his plan!
Aman. Nothing wrong with singleness.
This sermon has left me so empowered. I've never felt so motivated to love on myself and treat myself better than before. I do desire relationship, but I'm more so interested in the healing that will come with me making better decisions concerning ME. I believe God will fill my harvest with all the love I sow. I am worthy, I am valued, I am powerful, I am ONE OF ONE! Thank you, Devon!
Divorcee here! Please please please be single and content. We are living in the last days and people are evil even in a Godly marriage. I know so many married people who are miserable. I was one of them and had to get out! Even if you’re 50+ years old. Wait on God and God only to send you the right person.
I’ve been waiting on God for over 16 years but I know that I still have a lot of self work to do. I feel like I’ll never be the person I’m supposed to be. I’ve read several comments on here about single women in their 60’s! I don’t want to to go through the last days of trial and tribulations by myself! Very scary! But I know God knows what he’s doing.
Thank you. Young woman here, met him at 22 years old, he was 35 and after 10 long and hard years, I finally have and am awakening to the truth of what God wants for me. Over 8 months in a divorce and at last finalized. I was broken and slowly healing, God empowered me and my eyes are merely looking forward. I promise to God to not allow anyone into my life until I know for sure He comes from God! I'm content, whole and joyful and raising our 2 beautiful children in a peaceful, prayerful and healthy environment. My prayers have been for him to be a positive influence on the children when they are with him, I trust God and so far so good. In the midst of all this, my father my dearest friend transitioned and I was in distress but God pulled me through the darkest emotional space I've ever been. Please Pray for me.

I needed to hear this. I called off my engagement but started feeling regret because I didn't want to be without a person in my life. I was lonely in the relationship. He talked to be like a child. He stopped going to church with me and many other things. After hearing this, I know I did the right thing. I will heal and reap what God has for me.
Yes you will.
I am going thru a very similar circumstance I to called off my engagement. And as she sensed me becoming a little more distant from her, because of her drinking and how she would act while drinking, she also decided to stop going to church with me. Only GODs Grace keeps me positive and moving forward, even though deep down making the right decision hurts like heck! 🙏🏻
You made the very right choice. Keep the faith God has better for you!
You did the right thing. I wished I would’ve broke off my engagement and didn’t marry my ex husband. His true colors came out in the marriage. I saw signs before and ignored them
I am 43years old, I have been single for 10 years. After the birth of my child, I went back & forth with my child’s father. He always said he wanted to be with me but I had to change before he could put a label on our relationship or be seen with me. For year, I was his secret relationship. I began to not recognize who I was, I cried, I felt pain. It was emotionally abusive, until one day I decided enough is enough. After my father passed away, he did not support my grief, it was still only about him. This year, he married a woman who lives in South America and barely speaks English. While he continues to date multiple women. His family accepts her, and his “Christian”family refuses to speak to me. His mother is a “minister”and will not interact with me. Our child sees this. I give this to God. I believe I will marry the man God has for me
You will be ok and your child is valued by God. He will make all things right. You were not created to be someone’s secret family. If u are still alive…He’s not yet done with you. Greater things are yet to come
Never go back to an ex!
Double for your trouble!!! It's coming 🙏🏽❤️
I think this is the first time I listened to singleness preaching sermon coming from a divorced single pastor which I appreciate it a lot. So often when I listen to this kind of preaching thinking “yeah, it’s easy for you to say because you were married when you were 21, and it’s not that long for you to wait and be patient to meet the love of your life”, haha. Because the reality is most people go through heart breaks, work on themselves, and actually a great faithful person in Jesus but still single for along time.
The beauty in preaching about failing in relationships is the fact that he is speaking from experience which is beautiful and relatable.
God is love. Shall not give up in love. I will not devalue myself. I love myself. There is nothing wrong with me for being single. I love myself. I am blessed .
Hope anyone reading this can whisper a prayer for me and my family. 🙏
I know this is annoying, but were just truly in so so much trouble rn, i feel like my heart is going to explode. 💔 Were drowning in debts from a loan shark and idk how im going to get it paid up before the month ends, knowing i dont have a stable job and barely making enough to put food on the table. Please pray that GOD make these debts disappear, our lives will surely be a little bit easier and i wont be out here looking like a spammer anymore begging for stranger's help. Please pray that GOD send us a miracle. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for those who are praying. ❤
🙏🏾

❤️
I pray right now for you and you're family..I pray God's will be done in your life in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏽
Besides prayer, what are you *doing* to help your situation?
Believe it and you will receive it.
Trust GOD AND believe in God always
This is absolutely hilarious 😂. I hope I never get that bad. Life is good . I’m just living and enjoying my life for as long as God will allow me to. If it’s meant to be, it will be. Until then, I will travel and see some of this beautiful world that I live in 😀.
I love your comment 😂 You’re right as well. We can’t make our happy ending dependent on our relationship status. Life is too short, life is too beautiful.
What’s hilarious is that you take humor in the hurt that others are feeling every one is not You! Why come to a religious video where compassion and love are being taught to be cynical? You need a mirror to address your short comings! That’s hilarious 😅😅😅
@@msanja70 yea they come to project their frustrations in the best way they know how . Sometimes it’s in a humorous way.
I want to forever be one with Jesus ❤
"Become an accurate thinker." So good.
Devon is a real nigga to share his truth.he’s a real preacher called by god. He is helping me with my singleness
So many of us needed this! Thank you Lord for speaking through this message ❤❤
He who promised is able to perform what He promised🎉
This is so very REAL... It happened to me too 😂😅 nice girls finish last, be careful how much you will compromise. PEOPLE show you who they are in the first 15 minutes of conversation... believe them never make any excuses 💯 BE AN ACCURATE THINKING.What are your values and integrity 💯 WHO BELONGS IN YOUR FIELD 💯
Thank you for this prayer for us who are single. Being a divorced Christian feels sad, because I know God doesn’t like divorce. But I still want to find someone a life partner
@biancarowena9040
Embrace your singleness love on yourself...thank God for your health and strength etc.
"However, she [and all women] will be saved through the birth of the child, if they lead respectable lives in faith, love, and holiness."
HE that findeth....you won't be looking. He will. 😊
I was listening to this song when I was on my knees, crying for my mom’s health. I was devastated because she has cancer and wasn’t doing well at all. God talked to me through this praise, and when I opened the Bible, it was Psalms 27. God confirmed that we should just wait on Him. We still need a miracle, but now we have faith and praise while we wait! My mom is a woman who follows our Lord’s words, and I ask you to pray for her health as well. Her name is Maria Juracy and she has a serious Lymphoma.
Praying
14 years Single... this Word absolutely hit me DEEP in the heart!! I have allowed myself to become SAD...sometimes ANGRY at myself, my situation, other people, and somtimes even GOD!!! I KNOW deep within my heart that I AM JUST NOT EXPERIENCED enough to handle that relationship I SEEK....😭😭😭😭😭
Have you seen some of the Christian marriages?? Not all but some of these marriages have individuals involved that are immature, selfish or have other character flaws they did not work on before they got married. I don’t know you personally, and although it’s healthy to see where we need to heal and grow, please don’t feel you have to have something wrong with you because the wait has been long. It might just be a case of Gods timing. So sick of the church blaming singles for being single, especially when extended singleness is involved. We have enough of that nonsense already. Marriage and singleness are a gift. We don’t earn it. It’s Gods plan and will for our lives, and in his Sovereignty allows His plan to unfold.
That's where I am I had close myself up after my last relationship, i said i will never allow a man to hurt me again. But I'm open to love again
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER SHALL BELIEVETH UNTO HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
JOHN 3:16
What an awesome sermon for singles… it was everything and right on time…I will listen to this when I feel discouraged.
This word was so timely! 🙌🏾 Confirmation to the word the Lord has given me this week! Thank you Pastor DeVon for being the vessel for this word!
Devon so true these dating streets and sites are a hot mess.
Single senior citizen and proud of me through the Lord Jesus Christ.. I'm glad to be here. I would love to see my children but other than that, I'm going to be awesome. I love you and I'm so thankful Almighty God 🙏 Bless my precious Son and his beautiful family. Lord God please work on my Dil and let her know I need my grands. Lord speak the word's to her. I love my babies. Thank you in advance Jesus Christ and have your way Father 🙏
OMG… if this Word ain’t for me… Geesh! Thank You, Lord. I am about to walk through a divorce right now. This Word is SOOoOo freeing. Thank You, Lord! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amen, I needed to hear this Devon 5 years single, celibate off and on it been hard I do trust God will bring some one in my life on his timing
Sis same
This is my journey now. I know I can only walk with God while doing this. I am Enough!! 🙌🙌❤️
Amen sister. That is my life currently for 4 years. I keep praying to God to keep me strong and confident. In His time, which is the right time always, the right, God fearing and Godly partner will find me. Thank you for this honest comment, it encourages me that i am not alone, we are all in this together as God's children!🙏🙏🙏
If there a way we all can stay connected I’m board needs sista to help encourage one another
@@rosalyna8819 , i would love that indeed sister. It gets lonely on this journey sometimes, it's wonderful connecting with other children of God and share experiences.
I just feel so hopeless in this situation because it seems like some people have it so easy, they just jump from one relationship or marriage to the next. Ive had zero relationships and im 30 and there's no options so it feels very hopeless.
I haven't either finding a husband would be great but I want to work on myself with Jesus first..
Social media may contribute to what you see from others “having it good” in a relationship and how you feel like your own situation is hopeless. It’s a trick of the enemy so that eventually you will want to give up or just give in and settle for less. Remember this, many women will settle for the sake of being in a relationship; please don’t become that type of woman! Work on you and discover your purpose and I believe God will bring the right man for you into your life!
Please don't be, I've been single a very long time. You must not give up, so chin up. Do you think relationship or marriage is for everyone? Let's keep waiting on the Most High & ask him to prepare us for that moment & to recognize that special moment when we meet that special one...sometimes we just have to love ourselves in this big world & I know it's not easy. But Most High will help us through it.
.
I feel that way at times too...
Too often to much attention and emphasis is on marriage and/or why am I still single/unmarried. Personally, it gets pretty trite especially when you hear it almost every waking moment and from so many born again believers. Matthew 6:33 says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you." Paul, in the Bible, said he wish that we were as him (paraphrased); and it's addressed that the unmarried care for the things of the Lord, how to serve Him without distraction. If you don't know how to be single...not just tolerate it...but embrace your singleness and develop what needs to be developed while single, you are not ready to hook up with anyone. Your opinion and value/worth of yourself is distorted; evaluate your worth and establish your identity according to what Father God has said about you in His Word. It is a myth and very damaging to believe that you need someone to complete. It's not Biblically correct. Period. Therefore if you desire marriage, work on being single, being whole and being all that God designed and predestined you to be individually. You're not a half person if you're single. You should be a whole person. Being whole will keep you in the right frame of mind if or as you desire marriage. You will not be consumed by your sincere desire for marriage. Furthermore, don't get obsessed with that desire and pursue it more than a desire to please God.
People often say we were created for relationship and not to be alone.Well, I believe our first and primary relationship should be with our Creator, Father God. He's calling us to Him. Once you set that as a priority, everything else should line up, according to God's perfect will and timing. Learn how to appreciate where you are and learn how to wait on God's plan. Don't lean to your own understanding. Being single is not a curse; it's a blessing! Don't rush through it or out of it! Enjoy where God has you at this time. Be content! Amen!
Oh wow that shoe analogy was brilliant
I'M ONE OF ONE!!! MY FATHER VALIDATES ME AND EVERYTHING IS IN HIS TIMING!!!
What a great sermon. Thank God for Devon, a great servant of Jesus preaching on singleness. Love it
Say that Devon!! We have to love ourselves better than we expect a man or woman to. It's our job to be whole, not anyone else's
“If I don’t know how to be one with me, how can I be one with you.”🎯

Thank you!
Powerful Message to Singles!
I refuse to Give up on LOVE❤️
I am going to REAP THE *HARVEST OF LOVE! In the Mighty name of Yeshua Hamashia. Amen🙏🏽❤️
I believe this message was meant for me today. A heavenly reminder. Thank you!
This message was sent from God . I just got out of a situation where I only saw the person I thought I was in a situation with only 2 times in 3 months. Whew , I’m happy that’s over
I admire a man with integrity, values, honesty, vulnerability. Thank you Pastor Franklin. Divorced and praying for a man of God with these qualities. Working on myself to be a blessing and a woman of virtue in the meantime.
Devon is spilling the tea this morning 😅😊!
If this has not been the most transparent, real and organic message EVER… oh Jesus!!! I related! Yet saw the LOVE OF CHRIST THROUGH IT ALL!!! Valuing my time and love with God has taught me not to forget who I am in him. Hallelujah!!! Praise you Lord! 👏👏👏🔥This message came just in time as I told the Lord I am well even with just him. Hallelujah. Amen 🙏
Every. Single. Word!! Thank you so much DeVon for speaking so truthfully to us “single again” individuals! You are favored!!!
Hey Devon, God has been unravelling this mystery inside of me too. It's great to see another who learned it from their heavenly Father's love. Hearing someone else say it, makes me feel connected to The Vine. Thanks for sharing this message and your honesty.
Hallelujah 💕 I will not EVER GIVE UP! KEEP HOPE ALIVE! KEEP THE FAITH 🙏✝️🙏
I want to be one with Jesus ❤
1:55 The WAIT is strengthening you
I will reap the harvest of what God has me for.
This message was for me, I really feel encouraged. Thank you...I shall not give up.
You re talking to me🙏🏾 I was just passing and I decided to watch. Thank you God for answering 🙏🏾
As a single mom of 4 girls, dating seemed to have become really hard so I questioned many times if it would happen for me.. this message has definitely restored my confidence! I will reap the harvest of love when God sees fit💜 Thank You for this beautiful message DeVon Franklin
Yes Lord. Body, mind n soul. Thou art Holy...❤i thank Him for the time alone with Him so He can speak to me without distractions. Now its His time. It is finished. Jesus created rivers of blessings flowing from within. Our God is single too.
Push through what you’re going through!
Amen I always feel so blessed after hearing pastor Devan preaching. Thank you father and bless him two.🙌 😇 🙏 ❤
This message 🔥🔥🔥 I am valuable and I know God is love and I will never give up on love... God is still on the throne and He will make things work out for my good.
Praise God. I am grateful to be alive.
@ 27:07 ah man Devon! Noooo ya gotta meet them up immediately after that first convo! But it’s happened to all of us! Live & learn!
Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing your story Devon, that exactly happened to me even worse because I felt emotional connection and the excuses are the same like yours, I had to stop and sit with prayer and fasting. I also got divorced and went to the process of pain and finding myself again.
I guess wounded sheep attract wolves.
Wounded sheep attract wolves...THIS IS SOOO APPREPO!!!! I know a guy who's currently a wounded sheep and he's been attracting ALOT of wolves...thanks to one of them, his personal and physical safety became a factor.
Four minutes in, I am crying 😢 😭
Looking forward toward to the whole sermon
YES LORD GOD I RECEIVE IT IN JESUS’ NAME.👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜
Wow!! This is speaking to me directly. Yes, I lost myself and forgot all that God had already developed in me. The break up was the blessing and God is doing some wonderful things.
Glory to God. Ever since the new year began, life got true and real for me. I've wanted to just leave this family. So much spiritual warfare going on in my house. I too fall short. And God said to me, "you can't run from you". I totally understand it now. His love is so deep for me. I see now He is continually healing me. I've always lived in flight or fight mode. But God, keeps me, and keeps pushing me to grow Up. Thank you lord God
This was such an incredible sermon. I hope us singles can experience our oneness, whether coupled or single. ❤❤
I needed this. I am one of one. It’s been 3 years and I am starting to understand it’s ok to be single
He is very relatable!
I'm One of ONE! and I KNOW I AM Love! I'm in the evaluation period and feel so blessed to have this time of singleness to work on myself and transform my relationship with God. Thank you for this message Jevon. ❤
I know this message was meant for me❤❤ thank Jesus for loving me.
Heard this for the 1st time & has helped, empowered & blessed my soul right now as I needed to hear!
