Hello, Sam and Sadie. Please keep on with this form of ministry. You're making impact. Do not be discouraged; always remember that the goal is to bring glory to God and obey Him.
That means more to us than you know!! It can be difficult to stay disciplined, but I know that God will bless us for seeking to honor Him! Thank you for your God-sent encouragement!! 🙏🏻♥️
@@samandsadie Excuse me, what do you teach people on your UA-cam channel on how to go to heaven? Are you teaching people that they have to repent of their sins to be saved? Are you teaching people once saved always saved is the truth? Can you please reply to me how to go to heaven?
@@samandsadie I'm also a Christian in my Christian faith and quite happy to stay single my faith family channel yes I'm not perfect in My Christian faith but if god wants me to find someone through my faith it's in his time not mine happy to pray over this but I want to grow as a Christian first amen ✝️☦️🙏🌅✝️🔥🇭🇲🇱🇷
I think the most important part is for both of you to want to walk the same path. One example is where you want to live or if you want babies or not. Do they love god the same has you.
Totally agree with y’all! We have a choice to follow God’s perfect will for our lives which includes our spouse or choose our own will. I do believe we can miss it. But if we are seeking first His kingdom and righteousness I don’t think we have to worry about missing it. God will lead us into His perfect plan… contingent on us seeking that and partnering with Him!
Can you miss out on "The One" God has for you? The sad answer is yes, you can. Through some very bad choices, very bad actions (I hurt this poor girl so many times, crushed her beautiful heart under my feet) and possibly spiritual attack from the evil one, you CAN. 35 years ago, I literally pushed my lifemate from my life. I still don't understand what kind of monster I was at 24. I am 60 yars old now and have walked in faith that maybe God can provide me another experience with a girl as deeply and profoundly in love with me as Amy was, and it has not happened. When love find you, hang on tight to it and cherish it like the precious gift from God that it is.
I met the guy I'm currently with when I was at a very bad spot in my faith. I was getting ready to reject God all together because I grew up in a not so great church. I still held on to a few things even though my faith was small. One thing is that the one will come into your life when God wills it. I met this Godly guy at comic con a good year ago and I was drawn in by his stories about mission trips he's been on and how good he was with kids that I could very much so tell God was in his life and he was living the godly life I wanted when I was a kid. We talked for a few months as friends before he admitted that he liked me. almost a year later I can say we're still together and I'm stronger in my faith than I ever was before. I do still struggle and we're nowhere near marriage, but we are a lot stronger when it comes to trusting God's timing. Even though I didn't deserve him God has blessed me with him and I'm thankful for it.
I just wanted to say how grateful I am that you both still make videos despite the heavy workload of hours you both work and how busy you mentioned you are!
Very interesting topic, i enjoyed listening to it and have been encouraged by your content. I especially resonated with making sure that we are living up to the expectations of what we have for our ideal partner, that has been a big focus of mine and it had helped me be patient and focus on seeking God for satisfaction rather than dating. Some feedback, i think the bible has a lot to say about the topic of Gods will, so i would have liked to see you guys start with what God says about it (as the ultimate authority), and then relate it to relationships and dating by linking it to your personal experiences. There was a lot of thoughts you guys had about Gods will that i would have liked to have seen references to bible passages. You both usually do an awesome job at this anyways, so keep up the good work
Yeah we definitely want to do more with referencing Bible passages specifically, but we had to make this video on a deadline, so editing had to be lightning fast! Thanks for watching and we’ll do better with that in the future!
I met a girl at a Christian camp who likes me and is Christian as well. And what’s funny is her name is Sadie. I believe that God brought her to me. And He did.
Understand this - I have ZERO doubt in my mind that I DESTROYED the life mate God had put aside for me, 34 years ago. You DO NOT take a tender heart that's profoundly in love with you, cares for you and CRUSH IT UNDER YOUR FEET. Thank you, God for A--, but why did you let me hurt her and push her to the point of walking away from me?
You both do a great job. Let the Lord strengthen you both more to work for HIS glory. You both talk about the most important topic(marriage). As marriage is the most important institution that God created.❤
Hey Sam and Sadie.Thank you for this video, so what you mean to answer the title of the video is that if we live a life that pleases God, we cannot miss the one that God has for us?
It's called molinism. It means God knows every choice you could make and all the implications of every possible decision. It's a product of freewill and in his power to give you that ability to choose no a lack of his ability. So, in a sense, he has relinquished to control your choices, at least in general.
Hi! I have a question pls, like how do you know if he or she is the one? Do you know the first time you see her/him or you will know after 1 or 3 meetings? Thank you!
I do think it is like this for some, but the Holy Spirit told me my husband would become my husband the day I met him. It felt like a deep knowing in my very soul that he was the one God wanted me to marry. It was very strong, and it honestly freaked me out since that type of thing does not happen to me very often, and I don't think everyone experiences this. I was praying about/seriously considering joining the Peace Corps when we met, so I think God wanted to make it VERY clear to me that I should stay 😂 Less than a month before we met I prayed and told God that the only thing I could see keeping me from joining the Peace Corps was meeting my husband. And 3 weeks later there he was. 😂 We have been happily married for 13 years now.
@@bunny_0288must be nice to be one of the favorites. I cant say I dont feel some measure of jealousy because I do. Then again I'm not a virgin so I have no business getting married anyway. No virgin girl would ever want me.
@@BansheeKing22 I wasn't a virgin and my husband was. And he has never ever held that against me. I didn't grow up in the church the way he did and I regrettably gave in to pressure and had sex with my high school boyfriend. I repented of this sin and was celibate for 4 years until my husband and I were married. I hope this can encourage you. There are virgins out there who are loving and forgiving and won't hold your past against you. And you don't have to marry a virgin. You just need someone who has repented of their sin the way you have. Someone who made a mistake, but has put that behind her and is moving forward and seeking the Lord with her whole heart now. You don't want to marry anyone who will hold a sin you've repented of over your head like that, anyways. So any virgin who "won't have you" is actually a blessing because she would not make a good wife. Good wives are patient and forgiving. You want to marry someone who keeps no record of wrongs like it says in the Bible. Virgin or non virgin, you just want to marry someone who loves the Lord and seeks Him. As for being "the favorite," life has not been smooth sailing for us. We have dealt with almost 13 years of infertility and a miscarriage that has been devastating. We also experienced the traumatic and unexpected deaths of 3 parents. And I am so thankful that the Lord brought us together, but life has been really really hard. So remember whenever you feel that spark of envy that the other person's life may not be sunshine and rainbows. As my pastor says, take this time of singleness to really grow your relationship with the Lord. Do your part to create a life that someone would want to share. Work on building your character and all of the traits that make a good husband. Marriage is beautiful, but it's not without its challenges. It requires a lot of patience and self-control. A lot of dying to yourself to meet the needs of your spouse. A lot of forgiveness. Start praying for your wife. Over all areas of her life. Ask the Lord to use this time to prepare both of you. See my husband waited 10 years for me and had no idea why he was waiting.... And then he met me and I was 6 years younger than him. He was literally waiting for me to grow up. So sometimes we don't know why we are waiting, and then it becomes clear. I don't know why the Lord hasn't given us children, but I have faith and am trusting that He knows best. Even though it is so painful and heart wrenching sometimes. But I'm following the same advice I gave you. I'm working on my relationship with the Lord and my character and trying to do whatever I can to prepare myself for motherhood. Hoping and praying that that is the Lord's will for my life.
The concept of "the One" is not Biblical. It comes from ancient Greek culture and mythology and the pagan concept of the Fates. Scripture says to remain single to be effective in ministry (I Corinthians 7), but if getting married being equally yolked with a fellow believer with the focus of the marriage and family you build to exemplify Christ's relationship to the church (Ephesians 5).
I think it’s goes down to if you both truly love God and are wanting to commit and grow with each other till death and no divorce even when struggles arise in life
@@RemainingFaithfulI’m 35 like the OP, we can be doing everything “right.” I’ve no debt, have my own place, can provide for my own, study God’s word, involved in church, help out with community activities, exercise, no major sinful addictions, virgin, etc. Not saying we are the “nice guys”, but we a far from pushovers. Just the harsh reality that no woman owes us a chance. Let’s face it, if we don’t make 6 figures, are six feet tall, have a 6 pack, or some combination, we’re getting overlooked quickly. Also, let’s get even more real, demographics and cultural play a huge role. Christian, conservative, skinny strong black guy like me that overcame an avalanche of childhood illness, but now very athletic, I’m simply not being given a chance. And it’s not solely my demographic that won’t give me chance, if you catch my drift. And again, women don’t owe me a chance. And how would it be loving if I demanded a chance? I make this analogy. I’ve practiced and been selected for an excellent baseball team. How can I have a batting average if I’m never called to bat? And when I’m called to bat, the pitcher refuses to throw the ball? How can I catch a ball if I’m never put on the field? Granted I’ve done all the steps to prepare, yet I’m judged negatively for my lack of stats. At least let me fail. And if fail or have the slightest miscue, then I’m beyond redemption. Then I’ve missed “the one.” And I’ve seen guys who were not living righteously or financially stable be granted the gift of marriage and now live Godly lives. That’s God’s grace in action, it’s awesome. Then again, it’s very difficult to not observe and perceive what is unfair. Women owe me nothing. And if we are being honest, God owes us nothing. I’ve got more to say, but I don’t want to sound like the book of Ecclesiastes. 😅
I think we romanticize marriage too much, if you look at the Bible they just grabbed a woman that was from the same lineage, they married and that was it,.. they weren't praying for a woman or asking for "the one" the only example you can find something like that is when Abraham was looking for a wife for his son Isaac. (Find someone who loves God and is equally yoked to you.)
@@namelesswreck6383 Thank you, somebody finally said it. Dating is very much a modern concept. Not saying we can’t use Biblical wisdom in pursuing a woman, but the concept of “the one” is Bible + Disney. I’m really not trying to sound salty, but in my experiences it’s a reality that’s hard for me to obtain. We really take our materialistic American society for granted, and then put God into the equation hoping for the best.
Tell that to JESUS HE CARES. The right woman will come at the right time..Isaac got married at 40,let the LORD do the good work in you...put HIM first by praying and when you are truly ready the right godly wife will come by...she is your missing rib.
If God did have a "one" for me then he would have brought her too me back when i was in my early twenties before i ruined myself and she'd be a virgin. He would have brought her regardless of my stubbornness and hard-headedness. He never did and has never once spoken to me. I cant say im not surprised. I mean with my past from birth (which should have been the end of me given how bad it was) until now i dont blame him for leaving my desire unfulfilled. My parents never married and are alone with no one. Hell I didnt know my dad until i was 16. Guess God wants me to pay for their sins.
Find someone who genuinely loves God and you'll be fine, no need for "the magical one",... the Bible only says that you should be equally yoked. everything else is a Disney fairy tale.

"The one" is the one you chose to marry, God holds you accountable to that marriage. You didn't miss anything, don't let the tempter tempt you.

What are your opinions on guys with long hair?

Scripture says to remain single to be effective in ministry (I Corinthians 7), but if getting married being equally yolked with a fellow believer with the focus of the marriage and family you build to exemplify Christ's relationship to the church (Ephesians 5).
Out of curiosity, for how long did you guys date before getting married?
If you are single and dating, yes you can reject “The One” Christian and find another genuine Christian who is better for you to marry.
I think it’s goes down to if you both truly love God and are wanting to commit and grow with each other till death and no divorce even when struggles arise in life
Trusting a god is a cop out.. Explain how non religious people find their spouses?
As a 34 year old man that has been single for 16 years, I can confidently say I must have missed out on "the one" that doesn't exist.
Are you seeking God with everything? Are you on the lookout for Godly women? Are you financially stable?
