Me too, Karen. I know my biggest thing God is working on is my temper. I don't want to make the same mistakes and the Lord is teaching us 💖 God bless you 🙏
Praise the Lord! Reminds me of Psalm 73:25-26 “Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth, I desire nothing besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”❤
4 years ago, at 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of Chess. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one). I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me. The doctors said i’d never get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life. I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace. I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse. They blamed me for the abuse they did to me. To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal. Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them. I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. All my cards have fallen down. I have nothing left. But out. I wanted out. I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills. But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me. The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along. He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart. HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME . Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I am totally healed , full of joy. I’m now a born again Christian, in my 20’s who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU HE. LOVES. YOU.

Few years ago, I admitted to be single and feels like I don't need a man or partner in my life One day I woke up with this feeling I wanted to settle down and started that day, I kept on praying to God In jesus name, let me get married and have peace surrounded to the relationship🙏
Great video Mark! I can relate! I went through a season of loss, and it contained those ups and downs you described. I was willing to stay single, after suffering that loss, and to glorify God. After transitioning back to singleness and really focusing in on serving Christ and teaching the word, leading worship, pastoring the flock as an assistant pastor, and leading the singles discipleship group, God did help me dream again. Then God brought the BEST possible woman into my life a year and a half ago. We are now on the Lord's path and planning to be married this year!
As a widower, God has reminded me, that He is bringing me another bride one day. I can hardly wait. I have been through painful refinement and He has done social cleansing for me. It has been trials and tribulations for sure. I have been dreaming a lot about someone. This message pertains to my situation to a T. Thank you for confirmation for my situation.
Brent, I too have been blessed with dreams of my future King among Men. God loves us so much that He will use any means to bring us a message of hope and encouragement in our valleys, climbs, and mountain tops. A sister in Christ from AZ is praying for you and yours...
Amen! Exactly what I'm going through and it's not my time yet and that's perfectly fine because I'm waiting fir GOD's best for me at his perfect timing. All in HIS hands!
I met a woman who was literally my dream woman, (I actually saw her in a dream long before I saw her in real life but she looked exactly the same, down to the dress she had on and her luggage) and I heard God say "This is your wife, this is your wife." She has the most lovely voice I've ever heard and that was literally in my prayer when I told the Lord what I would prefer in a wife. I told the Lord I didn't care if she was tall, skinny, fat, short, but I told Him I wanted to love her and cherish her. I told God I didn't care if she was the hottest just that I would be crazy about her. I told Him I wanted her to fear Him the way I do. I wanted her to be dignified and elegant. My exact words. I ended the prayer with, "if it's not too much, could she have a gorgeous British accent as well?" The woman I heard God tell me was my wife was literally all these things. To the letter. Single-handedly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Never seen better posture(dignified) head up high, back straight when walking. She was (elegant) in that she is the best dressed woman I've seen in person so far and I work at a very public place (airport). She has the most beautiful posh British accent I could ever hoped to have heard. Her voice sounds like peace to me. It's like God read my mind quite literally. I met this woman, I heard God tell me "This is your wife" and I felt peace and I felt like I could breathe clearly for the first time in my life. I had wanted a woman just like her since I was a child, the very first type of woman I ever wanted I mind you, and I let her walk away from me because I loved my gf now ex at the time and thought surely God wouldn't want me to betray my ex I loved at that time. The very next day, I found out my ex had cheated on me very early into our relationship (in a very ironically similar position to the one I was in with the woman God said would be my wife). I have never regretted something so much, never been so angry to deny myself my literal dream woman due to misplaced loyalty and a lack of self respect. Excuse the rant, but I want all of you to learn from my experience here. Learn from the mistake I made. But here's the silver lining, I heard God speak to me, audibly, I was so stunned I could barely get any words out. I asked God while she was literally still in front of me,"If you really mean it Lord, have her do something to let me know she'll come back" and she did it. Something only God could know that I would love. She stared at me like she heard God talk to her as well, it wasn't lust, she really wanted me. She became a hope and that helped prosper me in hard times. Realizing God had her for me made me realize my value, how much effort God put into giving me my heart's desire. She hypercharged my life and helped me see my prayers weren't in vain. I thought to myself "If this is who the Lord has for me, let me step it up a bit because she deserves my best. I had lost myself at that time and she still looked at me like I was amazing. I haven't run into her again yet but God is faithful. I'm a fervent Christian and just for the record, this is the second time in my life I've met a woman I prayed for down to the letter, my ex from the story was another. I learned to be careful with my prayers because getting what you asked for can be detrimental. I knew I wasn't ready for her and letting her go is the most selfless(also hardest) act I've done in life so far. I felt like our souls were reaching for each other. My very being misses this stranger and I'm following the voice of the Lord and a dream I didn't tell to anyone but you all here and a few close friends. Despite all this trouble I've never been stronger, more confident, more hopeful and at peace. I didn't even have nice shoes or jewelry when I met her but she looked at me in my eyes, stared as she walked away, this woman is probably wealthy because her dress looked custom made. A real pauper and prince type of duo. Also something I asked God for, because I came from a relatively poor family I wanted to marry a woman from a wealthy family so my kids could see that side of life as well. Please don't give up on your dreams, I promise if you clear your mind and ask God with a sincere and humble heart He will honor you. It may take longer than you think or you may accidently delay the process like I did, but God cannot fail, please remember that guys. I only have her face and her voice to remember her by which is ironic because when I was younger I would lash out at God for want of a wife and say stuff like "I can't even see her face? I can't hear her voice in a dream? Nothing to hope for?" Lol I learned to be very careful when praying. I hope this can help or inspire someone because it's literally almost like a movie how this went down lol. Have hope, maintain peace, may God bless you all.
Hello B. Jonathan when I was reading your message I am only crying and crying cause I feel like you. But I still remember I was dream I am walking on the aisle and I saw a man but I dont see his face. And I am so happy that day. this time I have doubt in myself sometimes I loss my hope and afraid that I will never be married or I just be single forever. I'm tired of waiting but when I am down I just give my prayer to God for everything that I feel giving up. Because my ex hurts me and cheat me. But I only trust God he knows my prayer, my heart and all my desires. God never lies and all his promises is for our good. One day Lord give me my prayer.
I feel like I've been going through each of these phases simultaneously more or less for the past 2 years. The best part is that God has remained faithful, not giving up on me, and not allowing me to give up on the dream, even when I failed, wasted time, gave up on her, myself, and even Him.
I’ve always been treated horrible like abandonment isolation mental abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and abandonment isolation and no matter what those people did to me God keeps giving me a brand new heart to not have anger better you know when I’m like how do I leave this world when I know things that most people don’t know and I don’t know how to live in this world by feeling overwhelmed and pressured by the spirit of evil like I don’t wanna do wrong and I don’t wanna have right and I just need good things and good people around me
Thank you Mark❤ it took years but I finally found and married my true love, he was right under my nose the whole time my high school sweetheart! So many seasons and trails happened between us over the years, and I was listening to your ministry the whole time. So many tears and prayers while listening to your videos. I even bought your books. Finally married at 26 and our baby a year later ❤ thank you mark!
This video came to me at the right time. I've been in a long season of singleness, and I've realized just recently (within the last year) that I have indeed been called to marriage in order to further grow and help in ministry. I believe this long season is almost over for me. Thank you Mark💓
Jenni, it is the same for me! Thank you for your faith filled words, it is actually contagious. 👌 This video and Marks ministry do help people like us to keep hoping, believing and praying accordingly! Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you Brother for this video. I want to be married with the woman God has for me to serve and worship. I am single right now, but God has been Blessing me so much and has been working on me. I Pray that The Lord has been doing that to my Kingdom Spouse as well.
Beautiful to remember God’s constant reminders to believe. Believe we will despite our susceptibility to mood swings. It is far better to endure for God’s perfect timing.🙂😊
I appreciate this so much, thanks Mark for breaking it down. This is the purpose for our season of singleness. It’s less about avoiding the pain we experience and more about pushing through to the other side while having hope and faith in God! ❤️
I like the way you show how the messy construction process is needed for a beautiful result. I’ve built and remodeled many houses, so I can relate to this. I also love hiking the hills and being in the outdoors, so I can relate to the beauty and necessity of going through hills, valleys and meadows, as I have been through them physically, spiritually and emotionally. Thanks
Thank you for videos, only discovered this channel hours ago, I was lost in a dark place and mentally breaking down, God helped me even though I was losing faith he guided me to this channel the more videos I watched I could feel overwhelming love, I really believe I was saved today
Thank you Mark for all you do for God’s people. These videos have been instrumental in helping me truly understand and apply God’s word to my present situation. There’s literally a video for every stage of relationships and the resources you provide are a blessing indeed. I’m grateful for your unique ministry. You will in no wise lose your reward.
Hey, not sure if you’ll see this but I saw your comment and just felt in my heart to tell you that Jesus loves you soooooo much! He is watching over you and He sees your struggles! But He’ll never leave you alone! So don’t give up! Stay strong and keep your eyes fixed on our Lord and Saviour. He is opening new doors in your life that will bring glory to His name! Don’t give up on God for He has never given up on you, and He never will :) hope you have a blessed night, God bless you, your mind, your emotions, your paths and all your family always :)
When I started noticing God is loved when I found what love is. A girl encouraged me to want better in life she told me she cared about me I thought she was crazy, but every time she would talk it was like light was shining through my dark heart. The first time I saw her it was strange it was this feeling like light was shining through me it was confusing and I didn’t understand what I was feeling. When I was in 9th sometimes during the year I would hear she is the one I ignored it I was going through some dark evil times. All I wanted to do is die I didn’t know where my future was headed I was confused. I knew what I had to do God already knew what I was going through, he was waiting for me to ask. So while still being dark I just felt like she was in trouble like someone with wrong intentions talking to her. I was like well I don’t like her and then I thought about how God used someone in my life to reach me the only way he could. He should me love is real we have to wait. It did come to pass and when I was hearing it and staying in the word when I saw her they were together like God told me. I was amazed and shocked I thought I was going crazy like I was quarantined during the school and all I’m doing is hearing things and discerning the voices. That’s when I knew it was all God. I’m not giving up on her because love is uncomfortable just like walking with the Lord is it’s not easy I’m waiting because I know and trust in God that he doesn’t lie. The crazy thing I started changing after I went back to her and started reading the word and understanding what the Holy Spirit was telling me. I heard it only in the morning when I woke up it was like a time was set and knew when to remind me. I was saying it because like I said I didn’t want her I didn’t care, but it started getting crazy when the other voices said kill your self, it would never happen, and way out of my league. I knew it was God the first time I heard it because it was stern, but small and still. Voice was beautiful can’t comprehend I just knew it was God. The voice that was still said, “she’s the one.. go back to her.” Love ain’t easy I told her my intentions she asked me how do I know these things. She’s Jehovah witness the don’t believe in the holy trinity like baptist do. I had a vision when I was feeling she was in trouble I was giving her family Bible’s, but she was by my side spreading the word to them. It could have been me, but I didn’t know she was Jehovah I just knew she didn’t celebrate Christmas. Never asked her what she believed in. I hope this encourages someone. I’m an Ephesians 5 man of God. The first time I realized the Bible is alive is when I was trying to find a different verse and I was mad I didn’t remember it, I didn’t even know that book was in the Bible I saw Ephesians 5:8 written on a white piece of paper in my head I finally turned to it and I was mind blown.
@Joshua Jonathan scam!! A “spiritualist” aint got nothing on what the almighty Jesus can do. In the same way satan roams the earth looking for someone to devour, Stop searching youtube looking for unsuspecting victims that you can deceive! Repent & turn away from your wicked ways. Jesus is THE way, THE truth & THE life!!
Please pray for me too. I want a godly relationship that leads to marriage, there is this guy. Whatever happens, whether the actual relationship happens or not, I want to have an attitude of gratitude and may the Lord Jesus Christ reveal His will ever so clearly to me 🙏🏼❤️
This resonates with me in every way. I trust God that He is bringing His will for my life to fruition. I pray for clarity, patience, & wisdom along the way!
Mark I swear this was so timely. Recently I’ve been sensing a desire to pray more for a spouse. And then this morning on the way to work I was talking to God about my frustration over still missing my ex and some of the things I experienced with her (even though I know she’s not the one God has for me). Sure enough you touch upon that. I think God is hard at work behind the scenes and I’m moving from having chronic disappointment to now restored hope
Yesterday the devil again was close to break me with leading my eyes to those who found Love . .annoying me with thoughts like " _Look around you ..see_ _with yOUR age this & that!iT's TiME_ "🙄 Yeah it's TIME To STOP since when has a LiAR Listeners?!⚡ > At this point *tHANK* *yOU Brother for just following your call!* *We appreciate you,and we Love you!!* 🙏💐x *Sisters & Brothers* We Are Not Alone GOD is with us . .every step we take!

Beautifully stated Brother Mark 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 One ☝🏽 must build a Strong 💪🏽 foundation & accept all difficulties & Miracles we face together!!! Together as One ☝🏽 in Unity with Christ‼️ Stay Blessed Always Everyone‼️ Peace ☮️ 🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️
Although my English is not good enough. I got married in January, but my wife suddenly said she didn't feel the opposite sex, so we broke up in February. Although we think that God sent us and we got married. I keep praying because I don't know God's plan. I hope we can get together and fix our marriage. 🙏🏻 having really hard time but still praying and having a hope
I’m currently in a situationship and I can definitely see how I have attached my symbolic dreams and desires to him, and he on me. However I KNOW in my heart we aren’t meant for each other, so we are in the process of separation and it is super painful for both of us. I don’t know if we can move on from each other even after having separated 😞 It’s gonna be rough. I trust in God thought, and he’ll be the only one who could bring us through this mess
I liked the comparison between building a house and building a relationship. Jesus gave us the key to a sound house, a strong foundation. A good relationship starts with a strong foundation, our relationship with God through Christ. And, like building a house, there are details that you seldom consider, plumbing, wiring, and the strength of the floors, walls, and roof. Running ahead of the building process would ruin the house and will ruin even a good relationship.
Literally just prayed “ Lord bring me someone that restored my faith in love again because YOU ARE LOVE, I EMBODY LOVE , IM OPEN TO RECEIVE LOVE “ #4 brought the point home !!! You always drop the most precious gems backed up w/ scriptures 😩👏🏾🙌🏾** Thank you Mark💙
Hope faith love... hoping in my faith of love... which IS our LORD GOD... thru JESUS CHRIST the MESSIAH... comforting and loving by the HOLY SPIRIT in the BODY of CHRIST. I'm humbled grateful and thankful that He watches, protects and corrects... and forgives us
Recently divorced and left devastated. However, he was not saved. I thought he was but later discovered the truth the hard way. I am praying for healing and restoration in my own life so that one day, i can be ready to meet the new man God has for me, if it is his will. Do not be unequally yoked! Make sure he isn't telling you he is a believer just to be with you.
As always, I don't think it's healthy to be desperate for something or someone other than God. I think it's unhealthy. Though I'm guilty of it too which may make me a hypocrite but yeah.
Our early formative years of our faith should be dedicated to seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, rather than actively pursuing romance. We're just too immature early in our faith to know what we want and need in our future spouse. We also don't know who we are at our tender age in Christ. The Lord will provide the right person when we're ready to manage and live within a sacred union such as marriage.
Your perceptions using God's words are exactly that, they are your perceptions. First of all the Lord says in Psalm 37 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." If God doesn't say "no", then it's a go in His timing. Next "With God all things are possible." Your perspectives are exactly that, it's how you use the Word of God and your beliefs within that and I see as limiting. I look at it as it is written, so many believers don't take the unlimited God and His Words to full potential.
I've been dreaming and have that first one. God has a plan for all of us and that special someone that will come into your life will come at the right time. Everything takes time. Which is why I love this saying and is true " ONE DAY AT A TIME. My fav saying. God is in our arms! Amen! 🙏🙏❤
I have watched alot of these videos and I only watch them when they pop up for me so I can better rely on God’s timing. This video is the best one. Idk. I feel like it all just clicked for me in this video. What God wants me to know. How to contextualize my feelings of anxiety. What I need to be focused on. What my expectations should be. I just get it now. Im saving this for later too.
Thanks, Mark. You said some great things here which were unexpected from the video title. Points 3 & 4 were really good, and I especially loved the inclusion of both natural 🌳 and architectural 🏠 analogies because they both demonstrate the work of God and the work of man still needing foundations. It was great to hear you say, “When you’ve both passed away and are in Heaven...”. That’s our hope; a marriage that still glorifies God through a great testimony and faithful descendants of God when we’re no longer here. Nothing stirs my heart and soul more than that desire. 🙏🏾✝️💒🤵🏽👰🏾 God bless you!
It's about acceptance more than it is about wanting singleness. Can you accept singleness and still glorify God? When we can say yes, we are often then ready for marriage because it is no longer an idol
Thank you for bringing this word to me. I'm so grateful feeling those sensations in my body. I Hope for the best because the best is yet to come in Life. may all the best wishes and desires goes to each person whos goes throughout their spiritual journey🏵💮🌸💐
I like your channel. At first I wasn't sure about you because I'm used to people watering-down truth. But you make sense and there is wisdom here. Thank you. All your videos are a timely word! 🙃😉👍
True love enhances you rather than breaks you down. When a man focused on himself and goals through building a relationship with god and building a foundation based on the teachings of Jesus, no one can derail you from the truth. I had women used sexual gestures and their bodies as leverage to get my attention. Once I found out that they are just Jezebels in disguise and knowing the Jezebel concept I’m now confident enough to just walk away. No matter how well endowed a woman is, she can be a bad present in a pretty package.
I’m in my season of singleness and truly enjoying it to build, grow and just become more of me how God wants me to be. A tiny part of me still thinks there is a husband out there for me and I for him, but mostly as time progresses there is less and less room for that dream. So to speak to that clarity about being in a time of singleness or in a time of desiring marriage, I can say I have clarity that my heart is not made up yet :)
It's a little complex but it makes sense and ultimately, for me, it's move on with faith and ".....truth the Lord God with all your heart." Regards, Denis Berte' USMC
I needed this video! I’m currently reading your book “The Ultimate Guide To Christian Singleness” and it’s been helping me! So glad I came across this video today!
I’m hoping that my “dashed hopes” aren’t actually permanent cynicism. Lol. But after all I’ve been thru, I def would rather be single than have to cramp my style and vibe too much or bend over too far for someone else at too high of a cost for me. Just not worth it. These days just really into a lot of self discovery and I’m really loving having things highly suited to my own flow. After having to grow up so overly controlled, I just have no interest in anyone trying to tell me some other way to live my life. Might sound selfish but after never getting my way so much and having to do so many things to other peoples’ dictates...having things my way is about as good as it could ever get. It’s like I’m just now finding clothes that truly fit me and I’m just never going back to wearing ill fitting clothes that someone else thinks I need to be wearing. It just sucks when you have to bend like some God forsaken pretzel too much all the time and I’m never going back to that...so whoever I get with will def have to let me be fully me. If not, then ok. See ya. Bye. I also think that looking at it from a 100%er joining with another 100%er makes way more sense than trying to look for someone else to “complete” you. Just as I need to be myself now, just being married to someone shouldn’t change that. As a female, (and with so many poor role models I had around marriage), I def used to have so many fears around something like marriage causing me to lose huge chunks of my identity. I guess I don’t fear that so much now but def I want to avoid those types who pretty much would want that and who seem to think that this is just what a wife “should” do. Just like when we join Christ in spiritual marriage, it isn’t an act of self annihilation or self erasure. It should be something that enhances someone’s self image, self esteem and self actualization. It should be something that adds to me and not something that takes away from me. So if it doesn’t actually add to me...then I don’t want it.
Your comments about detaching from a previous relationship, I just realize, apply to becoming a widow( or widower) I have to let me deceased husband really go. He was a wonderful Christian & evangelist. It is so difficult to let that high standard go....😢
I think I've found the person God approves of me marrying. I however feel used because I married the wrong person 6 years ago. My friends focus is so much on God that it's not 100% clear she has thoughts of a serious relationship with me. She has made gentle gestures that to me seeems like she knows I'm interested in a relationship with her. I've been fighting for divorce papers to be filed for 2 years now, so I'm not yet able to be open with her about how I feel.
Thank you brother. I am going through a hard time process.my only faith is i am just trusting God signs about the person. But yet no green signal from that person. Your msg gives me strength. Pray for me brother
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS - being afraid we might be settling? How to know we aren't? (The three things I think I need, or want, but I'm not sure about below???) Ohno, I finally found a man in my state, CA, who likes me and IS emotionally available. But... I wanted a man much more formal... and much more knowledgeable of the bible and church history?... Everything else clicks. He is loving and nurturing (expressive, vocal, affectionate!), and seems to progress into the natural levels, text to call to video to meet (go-getter, just like me!)... few calls so far. But, I now feel worried... what if I say yes, then I meet a man more formal and knowledgeable of the bible and church history, LATER, AND REGRET NOT WAITING A LITTLE LONGER? Also, the man from Scotland is the perfect one I truly wanted, BUT, HE IS A SNAIL 🐌, makes me wonder when he's going to call, I feel UNWANTED, NEGLECTED, RESENTFUL, and like I don't like how his way is making me feel... I want to just call the Scotland man and tell him to please hurry and fix his emotionally avoidant ways so we can marry! Before another man steals me away! But, it's not God's way for the woman to control or tell a man what to do, The Scotland man told me he was going to be too busy for 2 weeks, and his career change might happen in a few mos, he wanted me to not waste my time or not mislead me, if there was someone else, to consider them, It sounded like maybe he liked someone else and wasn't telling me, very sad!, but, he made it seem he wasn't talking to anyone else at all, I feel he might be afraid of failure, rejection, or the unknown, and might be self-sabbotaging, WHY ARE MEN SO FEARFUL OF WOMEN, OR OF WOMEN DRAWING CLOSE AND KNOWING THEM? DO THEY FEEL THEY ARE GOING TO DIE? THE WORLD WILL END? THEY WILL SELF-DESTRUCT? WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?
Thank you for clarifying the "guarding your heart" verse, and that love DOES require taking risks, that concept always confused me! Overall, your content has been very insightful and helpful to me! Thanks
I'm praying to God for the right person, I would love to be married one day.
Amen Karen!
Me too! It will happen sis, because our Papa is good!
That's why i watch all these encouraging videos, and to realize there's lot's of work to be done in myself before God allows or brings someone along
Me too, Karen. I know my biggest thing God is working on is my temper. I don't want to make the same mistakes and the Lord is teaching us 💖 God bless you 🙏
In Jesus name, I bless you all to get the perfect person That my father have chosen for you all ❤️
I found my true love with God, I’m so happy and content to dedicate my life to him.
Amen!
Not me :(. I want it to be my crush 😫😫😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@Je11keng😂😂😂Feel you
Let me know how long this lasts
Praise the Lord! Reminds me of Psalm 73:25-26
“Whom have I in heaven but You?
And on earth, I desire nothing besides You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”❤
4 years ago, at 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of Chess. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one).
I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me.
The doctors said i’d never get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life.
I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace.
I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse.
They blamed me for the abuse they did to me.
To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal.
Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them.
I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. All my cards have fallen down. I have nothing left. But out. I wanted out.
I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills.
But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me.
The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along.
He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart.
HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME .
Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I am totally healed , full of joy.
I’m now a born again Christian, in my 20’s who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU
HE. LOVES. YOU.
God bless you. They don't come much tougher than you.
What a wonderful testimony! God is good!

so beautiful
I just told someone an hour ago that I think GOD is about to send me my wife. Then I see this, wow!
Sure. Why wouldn't he?. Go find her. No fear.
Few years ago, I admitted to be single and feels like I don't need a man or partner in my life
One day I woke up with this feeling I wanted to settle down and started that day, I kept on praying to God
In jesus name, let me get married and have peace surrounded to the relationship🙏
@sparkle2656 I feel same way as a woman can we be friends
Great video Mark! I can relate! I went through a season of loss, and it contained those ups and downs you described. I was willing to stay single, after suffering that loss, and to glorify God. After transitioning back to singleness and really focusing in on serving Christ and teaching the word, leading worship, pastoring the flock as an assistant pastor, and leading the singles discipleship group, God did help me dream again. Then God brought the BEST possible woman into my life a year and a half ago. We are now on the Lord's path and planning to be married this year!
As a widower, God has reminded me, that He is bringing me another bride one day. I can hardly wait. I have been through painful refinement and He has done social cleansing for me. It has been trials and tribulations for sure. I have been dreaming a lot about someone. This message pertains to my situation to a T. Thank you for confirmation for my situation.
Brent, I too have been blessed with dreams of my future King among Men. God loves us so much that He will use any means to bring us a message of hope and encouragement in our valleys, climbs, and mountain tops. A sister in Christ from AZ is praying for you and yours...
@@melissalauderbach365 thank you! Amen! Prayers for you as well.

@brentheuer2548 .. Greetings sir,, I am wondering if you have met your new wife ..
(Just wondering how long this process is )
Amen! Exactly what I'm going through and it's not my time yet and that's perfectly fine because I'm waiting fir GOD's best for me at his perfect timing. All in HIS hands!
Amen, it's all in his hands!
Me too♥️
Yesssss Amennnnn
I met a woman who was literally my dream woman, (I actually saw her in a dream long before I saw her in real life but she looked exactly the same, down to the dress she had on and her luggage) and I heard God say "This is your wife, this is your wife." She has the most lovely voice I've ever heard and that was literally in my prayer when I told the Lord what I would prefer in a wife. I told the Lord I didn't care if she was tall, skinny, fat, short, but I told Him I wanted to love her and cherish her. I told God I didn't care if she was the hottest just that I would be crazy about her. I told Him I wanted her to fear Him the way I do. I wanted her to be dignified and elegant. My exact words. I ended the prayer with, "if it's not too much, could she have a gorgeous British accent as well?" The woman I heard God tell me was my wife was literally all these things. To the letter. Single-handedly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Never seen better posture(dignified) head up high, back straight when walking. She was (elegant) in that she is the best dressed woman I've seen in person so far and I work at a very public place (airport). She has the most beautiful posh British accent I could ever hoped to have heard. Her voice sounds like peace to me. It's like God read my mind quite literally. I met this woman, I heard God tell me "This is your wife" and I felt peace and I felt like I could breathe clearly for the first time in my life. I had wanted a woman just like her since I was a child, the very first type of woman I ever wanted I mind you, and I let her walk away from me because I loved my gf now ex at the time and thought surely God wouldn't want me to betray my ex I loved at that time. The very next day, I found out my ex had cheated on me very early into our relationship (in a very ironically similar position to the one I was in with the woman God said would be my wife). I have never regretted something so much, never been so angry to deny myself my literal dream woman due to misplaced loyalty and a lack of self respect. Excuse the rant, but I want all of you to learn from my experience here. Learn from the mistake I made. But here's the silver lining, I heard God speak to me, audibly, I was so stunned I could barely get any words out. I asked God while she was literally still in front of me,"If you really mean it Lord, have her do something to let me know she'll come back" and she did it. Something only God could know that I would love. She stared at me like she heard God talk to her as well, it wasn't lust, she really wanted me. She became a hope and that helped prosper me in hard times. Realizing God had her for me made me realize my value, how much effort God put into giving me my heart's desire. She hypercharged my life and helped me see my prayers weren't in vain. I thought to myself "If this is who the Lord has for me, let me step it up a bit because she deserves my best. I had lost myself at that time and she still looked at me like I was amazing. I haven't run into her again yet but God is faithful. I'm a fervent Christian and just for the record, this is the second time in my life I've met a woman I prayed for down to the letter, my ex from the story was another. I learned to be careful with my prayers because getting what you asked for can be detrimental. I knew I wasn't ready for her and letting her go is the most selfless(also hardest) act I've done in life so far. I felt like our souls were reaching for each other. My very being misses this stranger and I'm following the voice of the Lord and a dream I didn't tell to anyone but you all here and a few close friends. Despite all this trouble I've never been stronger, more confident, more hopeful and at peace. I didn't even have nice shoes or jewelry when I met her but she looked at me in my eyes, stared as she walked away, this woman is probably wealthy because her dress looked custom made. A real pauper and prince type of duo. Also something I asked God for, because I came from a relatively poor family I wanted to marry a woman from a wealthy family so my kids could see that side of life as well. Please don't give up on your dreams, I promise if you clear your mind and ask God with a sincere and humble heart He will honor you. It may take longer than you think or you may accidently delay the process like I did, but God cannot fail, please remember that guys. I only have her face and her voice to remember her by which is ironic because when I was younger I would lash out at God for want of a wife and say stuff like "I can't even see her face? I can't hear her voice in a dream? Nothing to hope for?" Lol I learned to be very careful when praying. I hope this can help or inspire someone because it's literally almost like a movie how this went down lol. Have hope, maintain peace, may God bless you all.

Hello B. Jonathan when I was reading your message I am only crying and crying cause I feel like you. But I still remember I was dream I am walking on the aisle and I saw a man but I dont see his face. And I am so happy that day. this time I have doubt in myself sometimes I loss my hope and afraid that I will never be married or I just be single forever. I'm tired of waiting but when I am down I just give my prayer to God for everything that I feel giving up. Because my ex hurts me and cheat me. But I only trust God he knows my prayer, my heart and all my desires. God never lies and all his promises is for our good. One day Lord give me my prayer.
☺☺this made me smile.
When will someone Love Me?
When you will love yourself @@KingOmnifarious
I feel like I've been going through each of these phases simultaneously more or less for the past 2 years. The best part is that God has remained faithful, not giving up on me, and not allowing me to give up on the dream, even when I failed, wasted time, gave up on her, myself, and even Him.
One day I'll have my wife that GOD sends me .I'll leave it in his hands and I will be a great husband in JESUS NAME!
Amen 🙏
Iam waiting for the right person, I believe that God will send the right person
God bless!
Dear Father, I’m praying for the wonderful man who will be my godly husband. Please prepare our hearts Lord!
Amen!
Praise the Lord! 🙏🏻🕊🥰❤️
God bless!

I’ve always been treated horrible like abandonment isolation mental abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and abandonment isolation and no matter what those people did to me God keeps giving me a brand new heart to not have anger better you know when I’m like how do I leave this world when I know things that most people don’t know and I don’t know how to live in this world by feeling overwhelmed and pressured by the spirit of evil like I don’t wanna do wrong and I don’t wanna have right and I just need good things and good people around me
Thank you Mark❤ it took years but I finally found and married my true love, he was right under my nose the whole time my high school sweetheart! So many seasons and trails happened between us over the years, and I was listening to your ministry the whole time. So many tears and prayers while listening to your videos. I even bought your books. Finally married at 26 and our baby a year later ❤ thank you mark!
This video came to me at the right time. I've been in a long season of singleness, and I've realized just recently (within the last year) that I have indeed been called to marriage in order to further grow and help in ministry. I believe this long season is almost over for me. Thank you Mark💓
God bless Jenni!
@Joshua Jonathan This is scam. Why do you feel the need to advertise in the comment section of another youtube channel. I have reported your comments.
Jenni, it is the same for me! Thank you for your faith filled words, it is actually contagious. 👌 This video and Marks ministry do help people like us to keep hoping, believing and praying accordingly! Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you Brother for this video. I want to be married with the woman God has for me to serve and worship. I am single right now, but God has been Blessing me so much and has been working on me. I
Pray that The Lord has been doing that to my Kingdom Spouse as well.
Hallelujah
Beautiful to remember God’s constant reminders to believe. Believe we will despite our susceptibility to mood swings. It is far better to endure for God’s perfect timing.🙂😊
God is good!
I appreciate this so much, thanks Mark for breaking it down. This is the purpose for our season of singleness. It’s less about avoiding the pain we experience and more about pushing through to the other side while having hope and faith in God! ❤️
Amen, keep pressing forward with the Lord Kristy! John 15:5
I hope to meet God’s handpicked man for my life in His time..
Amen!
God won't handpick him for you; we have freewill, and you must find the right person yourself (while ideally being guided by God of course).
Kiano Uy thanks ☺️ I think youre right
Glory to God, for all that he has been revealing to me through this time of my life. God is indeed preparing me for the ministry marriage 💑 .
I like the way you show how the messy construction process is needed for a beautiful result. I’ve built and remodeled many houses, so I can relate to this. I also love hiking the hills and being in the outdoors, so I can relate to the beauty and necessity of going through hills, valleys and meadows, as I have been through them physically, spiritually and emotionally. Thanks
I'm so glad this video was relatable Fred! All glory to God!
Thank you for videos, only discovered this channel hours ago, I was lost in a dark place and mentally breaking down, God helped me even though I was losing faith he guided me to this channel the more videos I watched I could feel overwhelming love, I really believe I was saved today
Thank you Mark for all you do for God’s people. These videos have been instrumental in helping me truly understand and apply God’s word to my present situation. There’s literally a video for every stage of relationships and the resources you provide are a blessing indeed. I’m grateful for your unique ministry. You will in no wise lose your reward.
I'm so glad this content has been helpful to you! Thank you for your encouraging words!
Thank you Mark, I totally agree with ineedramses. May GOD bless your ministry !
Completely agree with this comment, thank you Mark. I'm also doing AGW university courses and they are so good, definitely recommend if you're able.
Hey, not sure if you’ll see this but I saw your comment and just felt in my heart to tell you that Jesus loves you soooooo much! He is watching over you and He sees your struggles! But He’ll never leave you alone! So don’t give up! Stay strong and keep your eyes fixed on our Lord and Saviour. He is opening new doors in your life that will bring glory to His name! Don’t give up on God for He has never given up on you, and He never will :) hope you have a blessed night, God bless you, your mind, your emotions, your paths and all your family always :)

Sorry I took long
When I started noticing God is loved when I found what love is. A girl encouraged me to want better in life she told me she cared about me I thought she was crazy, but every time she would talk it was like light was shining through my dark heart. The first time I saw her it was strange it was this feeling like light was shining through me it was confusing and I didn’t understand what I was feeling. When I was in 9th sometimes during the year I would hear she is the one I ignored it I was going through some dark evil times. All I wanted to do is die I didn’t know where my future was headed I was confused. I knew what I had to do God already knew what I was going through, he was waiting for me to ask. So while still being dark I just felt like she was in trouble like someone with wrong intentions talking to her. I was like well I don’t like her and then I thought about how God used someone in my life to reach me the only way he could. He should me love is real we have to wait. It did come to pass and when I was hearing it and staying in the word when I saw her they were together like God told me. I was amazed and shocked I thought I was going crazy like I was quarantined during the school and all I’m doing is hearing things and discerning the voices. That’s when I knew it was all God. I’m not giving up on her because love is uncomfortable just like walking with the Lord is it’s not easy I’m waiting because I know and trust in God that he doesn’t lie. The crazy thing I started changing after I went back to her and started reading the word and understanding what the Holy Spirit was telling me. I heard it only in the morning when I woke up it was like a time was set and knew when to remind me. I was saying it because like I said I didn’t want her I didn’t care, but it started getting crazy when the other voices said kill your self, it would never happen, and way out of my league. I knew it was God the first time I heard it because it was stern, but small and still. Voice was beautiful can’t comprehend I just knew it was God. The voice that was still said, “she’s the one.. go back to her.” Love ain’t easy I told her my intentions she asked me how do I know these things. She’s Jehovah witness the don’t believe in the holy trinity like baptist do. I had a vision when I was feeling she was in trouble I was giving her family Bible’s, but she was by my side spreading the word to them. It could have been me, but I didn’t know she was Jehovah I just knew she didn’t celebrate Christmas. Never asked her what she believed in. I hope this encourages someone. I’m an Ephesians 5 man of God. The first time I realized the Bible is alive is when I was trying to find a different verse and I was mad I didn’t remember it, I didn’t even know that book was in the Bible I saw Ephesians 5:8 written on a white piece of paper in my head I finally turned to it and I was mind blown.
@Joshua Jonathan scam!! A “spiritualist” aint got nothing on what the almighty Jesus can do. In the same way satan roams the earth looking for someone to devour, Stop searching youtube looking for unsuspecting victims that you can deceive! Repent & turn away from your wicked ways. Jesus is THE way, THE truth & THE life!!
Joseph, ignore this Joshua person down in the comments. All you need is God Almighty; The MOST High! Not no “spiritualist” What even is that lol 😂

I am praying now for so long that God would reveal the right girl for me. I need someone to be part of my life
Please pray for me too. I want a godly relationship that leads to marriage, there is this guy. Whatever happens, whether the actual relationship happens or not, I want to have an attitude of gratitude and may the Lord Jesus Christ reveal His will ever so clearly to me 🙏🏼❤️
This resonates with me in every way. I trust God that He is bringing His will for my life to fruition. I pray for clarity, patience, & wisdom along the way!
Mark I swear this was so timely. Recently I’ve been sensing a desire to pray more for a spouse. And then this morning on the way to work I was talking to God about my frustration over still missing my ex and some of the things I experienced with her (even though I know she’s not the one God has for me). Sure enough you touch upon that. I think God is hard at work behind the scenes and I’m moving from having chronic disappointment to now restored hope
Hi Ethan. Pray for soul ties to be broken between you an your ex. You will get freedom from her. God bless you brother. 🙏

Although my English is not good enough. I got married in January, but my wife suddenly said she didn't feel the opposite sex, so we broke up in February. Although we think that God sent us and we got married. I keep praying because I don't know God's plan. I hope we can get together and fix our marriage. 🙏🏻 having really hard time but still praying and having a hope
This guy gets it. He really, really does.
I’m currently in a situationship and I can definitely see how I have attached my symbolic dreams and desires to him, and he on me. However I KNOW in my heart we aren’t meant for each other, so we are in the process of separation and it is super painful for both of us. I don’t know if we can move on from each other even after having separated 😞 It’s gonna be rough. I trust in God thought, and he’ll be the only one who could bring us through this mess
Praying for you.. 🙏🙌
This so so accurate! Glory be to God🙌🏾 Thank you Mark
You are so welcome! Amen, All glory to God!
I liked the comparison between building a house and building a relationship. Jesus gave us the key to a sound house, a strong foundation. A good relationship starts with a strong foundation, our relationship with God through Christ. And, like building a house, there are details that you seldom consider, plumbing, wiring, and the strength of the floors, walls, and roof. Running ahead of the building process would ruin the house and will ruin even a good relationship.
Literally just prayed “ Lord bring me someone that restored my faith in love again because YOU ARE LOVE, I EMBODY LOVE , IM OPEN TO RECEIVE LOVE “

Recently divorced and left devastated. However, he was not saved. I thought he was but later discovered the truth the hard way.
I am praying for healing and restoration in my own life so that one day, i can be ready to meet the new man God has for me, if it is his will. Do not be unequally yoked! Make sure he isn't telling you he is a believer just to be with you.
As always, I don't think it's healthy to be desperate for something or someone other than God. I think it's unhealthy. Though I'm guilty of it too which may make me a hypocrite but yeah.
I was thinking the same thing not long ago. That is not good. But I am not sure.

Our early formative years of our faith should be dedicated to seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, rather than actively pursuing romance. We're just too immature early in our faith to know what we want and need in our future spouse. We also don't know who we are at our tender age in Christ. The Lord will provide the right person when we're ready to manage and live within a sacred union such as marriage.
Oh I’m not single!! I won’t be for long!!
Your perceptions using God's words are exactly that, they are your perceptions. First of all the Lord says in Psalm 37 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." If God doesn't say "no", then it's a go in His timing. Next "With God all things are possible." Your perspectives are exactly that, it's how you use the Word of God and your beliefs within that and I see as limiting. I look at it as it is written, so many believers don't take the unlimited God and His Words to full potential.
I am ready for my Kingdom
Minded Husband. That God is going to Bless Me with.

Great 👍🙏❤️ message for me. It gives me hope in marriage one day.Thank you
I have watched alot of these videos and I only watch them when they pop up for me so I can better rely on God’s timing. This video is the best one. Idk. I feel like it all just clicked for me in this video. What God wants me to know. How to contextualize my feelings of anxiety. What I need to be focused on. What my expectations should be. I just get it now. Im saving this for later too.
RISK AND NOT CLARITY. PRAY FOR WISDOM AND MATURITY, AND PREPARATION. 👍
I felt #3 so much 😭😂! I feel that conviction deeply! This video is so good and on point for me.
So glad it was useful!
I think i met the right one but im going to keep praying and guarding my heart
Thanks, Mark. You said some great things here which were unexpected from the video title.
Points 3 & 4 were really good, and I especially loved the inclusion of both natural 🌳 and architectural 🏠 analogies because they both demonstrate the work of God and the work of man still needing foundations.
It was great to hear you say, “When you’ve both passed away and are in Heaven...”. That’s our hope; a marriage that still glorifies God through a great testimony and faithful descendants of God when we’re no longer here. Nothing stirs my heart and soul more than that desire. 🙏🏾✝️💒🤵🏽👰🏾
God bless you!
Amen Matthew! May we live for Christ!
This was so edifying, number 3 especially. Thank you, Mark. I needed this today. ❤
I feel good and happy today for my present because I don't think about my past relationship.The way it goes it had to go
How does one give up on said dreams of ever finding love? The hardest part is resigning oneself to being single and alone.
It's about acceptance more than it is about wanting singleness. Can you accept singleness and still glorify God? When we can say yes, we are often then ready for marriage because it is no longer an idol
Thank you for bringing this word to me. I'm so grateful feeling those sensations in my body.
I Hope for the best because the best is yet to come in Life.
may all the best wishes and desires goes to each person whos goes throughout their spiritual journey🏵💮🌸💐
I'm also yearning for marriage I'm tired of hiding its now four years

I like your channel. At first I wasn't sure about you because I'm used to people watering-down truth. But you make sense and there is wisdom here. Thank you. All your videos are a timely word! 🙃😉👍
Thank you for explaining it so clearly, i never thought about it this way. God bless you.😊❤️
You are so welcome!
I don't see how any of these indicate marriage. I really don't.
True love enhances you rather than breaks you down. When a man focused on himself and goals through building a relationship with god and building a foundation based on the teachings of Jesus, no one can derail you from the truth. I had women used sexual gestures and their bodies as leverage to get my attention. Once I found out that they are just Jezebels in disguise and knowing the Jezebel concept I’m now confident enough to just walk away. No matter how well endowed a woman is, she can be a bad present in a pretty package.
I’m in my season of singleness and truly enjoying it to build, grow and just become more of me how God wants me to be. A tiny part of me still thinks there is a husband out there for me and I for him, but mostly as time progresses there is less and less room for that dream. So to speak to that clarity about being in a time of singleness or in a time of desiring marriage, I can say I have clarity that my heart is not made up yet :)
It's a little complex but it makes sense and ultimately, for me, it's move on with faith and ".....truth the Lord God with all your heart." Regards, Denis Berte' USMC
I needed this video! I’m currently reading your book “The Ultimate Guide To Christian Singleness” and it’s been helping me! So glad I came across this video today!

Making a list of why the person isn't right for me helped me in the past.
I’m hoping that my “dashed hopes” aren’t actually permanent cynicism. Lol. But after all I’ve been thru, I def would rather be single than have to cramp my style and vibe too much or bend over too far for someone else at too high of a cost for me. Just not worth it. These days just really into a lot of self discovery and I’m really loving having things highly suited to my own flow. After having to grow up so overly controlled, I just have no interest in anyone trying to tell me some other way to live my life. Might sound selfish but after never getting my way so much and having to do so many things to other peoples’ dictates...having things my way is about as good as it could ever get. It’s like I’m just now finding clothes that truly fit me and I’m just never going back to wearing ill fitting clothes that someone else thinks I need to be wearing. It just sucks when you have to bend like some God forsaken pretzel too much all the time and I’m never going back to that...so whoever I get with will def have to let me be fully me. If not, then ok. See ya. Bye.
I also think that looking at it from a 100%er joining with another 100%er makes way more sense than trying to look for someone else to “complete” you. Just as I need to be myself now, just being married to someone shouldn’t change that. As a female, (and with so many poor role models I had around marriage), I def used to have so many fears around something like marriage causing me to lose huge chunks of my identity. I guess I don’t fear that so much now but def I want to avoid those types who pretty much would want that and who seem to think that this is just what a wife “should” do. Just like when we join Christ in spiritual marriage, it isn’t an act of self annihilation or self erasure. It should be something that enhances someone’s self image, self esteem and self actualization. It should be something that adds to me and not something that takes away from me. So if it doesn’t actually add to me...then I don’t want it.
Amen may God do it for me soon in Jesus Name. With my friend Peter Gwokto in Jesus Name by the Power of the Holy Spirit..Amen.
Your comments about detaching from a previous relationship, I just realize, apply to becoming a widow( or widower) I have to let me deceased husband really go. He was a wonderful Christian & evangelist. It is so difficult to let that high standard go....😢
When you're part of #TCNation #HereIsHoly
I think I've found the person God approves of me marrying. I however feel used because I married the wrong person 6 years ago. My friends focus is so much on God that it's not 100% clear she has thoughts of a serious relationship with me. She has made gentle gestures that to me seeems like she knows I'm interested in a relationship with her. I've been fighting for divorce papers to be filed for 2 years now, so I'm not yet able to be open with her about how I feel.
4 and 5 is where I am. God is wonderful.
I am more at peace now causs i know im in the right path to become more serious with ny faith🙏
Thank you brother. I am going through a hard time process.my only faith is i am just trusting God signs about the person. But yet no green signal from that person. Your msg gives me strength. Pray for me brother
God bless as you walk with the Lord!
The timing of these videos is actually miraculous. Point four was what I needed from this video. Thank you!
I’ve noticed the same! Some of these videos coincide to call out exact struggles my heart experiences.
Thanks for mentioning the difference between guarding your heart and walling off to not get hurt Mark you are a man of god & r truly wise sir.
I’m not even trying to do anything but live out the story that God HAS CREATED/CHOSEN FOR ME!!!!! 🌠
Wow!!!! God increase you
I wish i could like this video more than once. God bless you.
The thumbnail… I needed to see that. Please pray for me. I’m struggling. My name is Ben
May God come through for you Ben 🙏
I am hoping and dreaming for my king 👑 out there 😊
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS - being afraid we might be settling? How to know we aren't? (The three things I think I need, or want, but I'm not sure about below???)
Ohno, I finally found a man in my state, CA, who likes me and IS emotionally available. But... I wanted a man much more formal... and much more knowledgeable of the bible and church history?...
Everything else clicks. He is loving and nurturing (expressive, vocal, affectionate!), and seems to progress into the natural levels, text to call to video to meet (go-getter, just like me!)... few calls so far.
But, I now feel worried... what if I say yes, then I meet a man more formal and knowledgeable of the bible and church history, LATER, AND REGRET NOT WAITING A LITTLE LONGER?
Also, the man from Scotland is the perfect one I truly wanted, BUT, HE IS A SNAIL 🐌, makes me wonder when he's going to call, I feel UNWANTED, NEGLECTED, RESENTFUL, and like I don't like how his way is making me feel...
I want to just call the Scotland man and tell him to please hurry and fix his emotionally avoidant ways so we can marry! Before another man steals me away! But, it's not God's way for the woman to control or tell a man what to do,
The Scotland man told me he was going to be too busy for 2 weeks, and his career change might happen in a few mos, he wanted me to not waste my time or not mislead me, if there was someone else, to consider them,
It sounded like maybe he liked someone else and wasn't telling me, very sad!, but, he made it seem he wasn't talking to anyone else at all,
I feel he might be afraid of failure, rejection, or the unknown, and might be self-sabbotaging,
WHY ARE MEN SO FEARFUL OF WOMEN, OR OF WOMEN DRAWING CLOSE AND KNOWING THEM?
DO THEY FEEL THEY ARE GOING TO DIE? THE WORLD WILL END? THEY WILL SELF-DESTRUCT? WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?
Wow! I so love the metaphor of building the foundation before having the house!!!
Yes and Amen I desire true love and a Godly Kingdom marriage and the LORD is giving me the desires of my heart......☝️🔥♥️🔥☝️
Thank you for clarifying the "guarding your heart" verse, and that love DOES require taking risks, that concept always confused me! Overall, your content has been very insightful and helpful to me! Thanks
Beautiful timing father Mark beautiful timing! Thank you very much for this thoughtful video! God bless us all 🙏🏽
So glad you enjoyed it! All glory to God!
I'm praying to God For the right person
I pray that God will give him.
God bless!
Wow, Mark if true love is up there at the top and I am down in the valley, that climb looks to be unreachable...
