I’m 28 almost 29 and still believing and trusting the Lord for my man of God! I would love y’all’s prayers for me as it can definitely be hard to be patient, but I’d rather be single than married to the wrong man wishing I was single!
I'm a Pentecostal Holiness girl, 27 now, and still trusting God to bring along the right husband for me! I watched this video right when it came out two years ago and I've been following y'all ever since! It touched my spirit and God had it come up as a recommended video AGAIN today! He knew I needed to listen to this word again! Thank you for sharing this wonderful testimony!
You speak in such a refreshing way about this topic. Sometimes I struggle to listen to people who talk about this season but got married at 20... but you’ve really lived through it! I completely agree about seeking God in moments of loneliness. It’s a game changer! Thankyou for encouraging us singles today ❤️
Absolutely!! I have been there 💯! The waiting season is tough at times, so I totally understand the thoughts & feelings of that season. Just sharing how God walked with me through it, in hopes of encouraging others in the same place I was! God is so good, and we can trust in Him! I'm so glad you were encouraged!! ☺️
This is so perfect for what I am going through right now. I just went out celebrating my 36th birthday today. I have had many no s in my life. On the way home this evening after seeing couples everywhere. I kept asking him over and over "where is he God?!" I'm getting older and would like to have at least one child. Thank you for the words of hope, faith, and wisdom. 💜
Keep on Heather, I'm 51, was deceived 2× entered into situationships that were not God-led, abusive, horrible. Both over now, but the consequences I suffer everyday are extremely painful. Best always to wait. on. God. Oh, how I wish I would've. Praying for you sister.
@@ginatriana1523 thank you Gina. I am sorry to hear that. All the wrong ones have been lessons learned for me for sure. I pray God sends your spouse soon too. 🙏
@Heather C Happy birthday. Let us celebrate life, we know that our God is faithful and He knows the best for us. Our God is the author of every season, so let's enjoy our season. God bless sisters.
A friend who is 39 just got married last October and I've met so many women who had their children 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 45 !!! The Lord can and the Lord WILL! Have you been fasting?
This was an excellent video! I'm 29 and currently doing the Daniel Fast. God has shown me so much during this fast and in my waiting season overall. I know that God is teaching me that He is enough & I can trust Him with my future. I heard a women's speaker, Lisa Harper, (she's on YT) say that seasons of suffering, when not caused by our own sin, are often preparation before our greatest blessings. So I am encouraged by your story and her message, that my waiting will be worth it! God bless your family.
@@SpongeBobSquarePants-zu3qt I know how that feels man its been over 10 years while praying for her, I started to pray for her since 2011 Sometimes it's hard and sometimes I just feel like crying, the loneliness sometimes is hard But God is faithful and I will keep on trusting Him
Amazing; that we have to be what God wants us to be to attract the man He has for us. Thank you for sharing. I know one day God will connect me with my husband.
Oh thank-you so much for mentioning the lonelyness. I never felt lonely until God put someone on my heart to wait for. But yes, it can be really hard at times. And you mentioned "beauty" .. that is so perfect. God has shown me the beauty of the relationship He is brining me into, and the beauty of the woman he has for me. I can literally star at her in my heart for hours. She captivates me! I have been reading Wild at Heart and Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge and those books have been perfect for this season.
@@aphiwemncube1550 Thanks for the encouragement. I'm 41 now! Unfortunately I'm still single. I've prayed over ten years for a wife and marriage. I don't desire the gift of singleness so I know that's definitely not for me. I wait patiently and trust in the Lord. Its difficult sometimes as you think "how can it happen?" I know the Lord always has a way.
@@SpongeBobSquarePants-zu3qt forget about your age...wait and pray...the bible says nothing is too hard for the Lord... I pray for you that by this time next year God will perform a miracle in your life concerning this area of your life...Trust and believe..God gave you the desire for marriage for a reason. May the Lord Remember.Please remain prayerful and faithful.God is good
@@aphiwemncube1550 Thank you for that. When you use my name please say Martin. Using Spongebob SquarePants in prayer wouldn't be appropriate! Although God would know who you're talking about. I will keep trusting and believing.
Very encouraging, thank you. That Psalm 62 verse is so good. Having just listened to you speak I feel like we would be friends. Thank you for mentioning "When God says no"...I have just been through one of those and it was so hard since at first things seemed nice and I got excited quickly, but then started hearing God speak. When I opened up that I felt like the Lord was saying no, the guy's reaction was to tell me God wasn't saying no, that he expected me to say that to him ever since I told him that I went to a pentecostal church, and told me I was "running out of time" (I'm 34 years old). It was really hard and I waited on God some more after that because I didn't want to let go. It's difficult to talk about because some Christians find the idea of hearing the voice of the Lord difficult to understand...I've learnt it is hard for others to understand because He is supernatural and takes faith to trust when He is speaking and it depends on personal relationship with Him. So hard though when going through it and trusting...it brought out all my insecurities about getting older and running out of time to have a family. I have to trust that my times are in His hands ❤️
I waited and prayed, and at the age of 52 I still haven't received a husband .... Now at this age it doesn't even matter anymore, I just wanted to mention ... And I think there are thousands and thousands of women like me on this planet.
That is correct and more honest. There are many women (and men) that will never receive a spouse. That is just the reality so it should not be called a "waiting season". Many dreams (not just of marriage) will never happen for people on this earth. Think of the amount of lives (all precious and potential for great things) that are lost to war or illness: children that did not get any chance to really live. This earth will have many trials and suffering (that is very clear in the Bible). That said there is the promise in the Bible "All things work together for good for those who love God" Perhaps we will never know how things have worked together for the best until we depart from earth. We just have to trust that things truly will work for the best even if we do not se or understand how it will.
Really great encouragement! It can be difficult to rest in a string of God’s No’s - yet His goodness is there, all along; especially in lonely times. Thanks for sharing this!
I have been praying many many times in my younger years that I would find the right man where I could have my own family with (having a child). I am 55 years old now, never met "the man" and my childbearing days are over (had hope till I was 47). At 51 menopause arrived. I am very very sad that I could have had my own child or children, but it didn't happen because I didn't find the right man for me. Only heartache was my part. So you can believe in the waiting season like you said in this video, but eventually it doesn't happen for everybody. You are lucky, very lucky that you have found the man to spend your life with and are now expecting a baby.
@@deborahbloem1325 if there's one thing I've promised God lately is that i'll wait on Him patiently if it pleases him to Send me one its fine if not its still fine but one thing I'll never do is to leave His ways. I'll trust in Him even when trusting in Him doesn't make no sense. Keep loving God He's enough and you're complete in Him. A man will not complete you but God will. And again its not too late, He comes at eleventh hour, consider the Story of Job in the phase where God blessed him a hundred times more, Consider the story of Sarah and Abraham, Sarah was past Child bearing age but was blessed with Isaac. If its a desire that you have to find the one, Believe Him today He's gonna do it and you will never wish to have had it in any other way or even earlier than now!! Jesus Loves you!
I am waiting. I have huge problem with beliving in my dream, and God's will. This video helped me to click in my mind that I will be happy someday. And God wil help me, I have to wait. Thank youu very much for opening my eyes. I will not be afraid of being lonely anymore. Thank you!😇💙🌙🌠🌟💫
I am 62 and still believing for a Godly spouse! Been divorced for 29 yrs. Waiting is getting harder now that I am in my senior yrs! Don't want to be alone anymore!
Thanks Clarke at least now I know that I am not the only one who has been lonely and hoping and waiting on god. Your words that when you looked back at your waiting season gave me a hope that I would also look back like you soon in the future
Your words are so comforting and I have no words for how grateful I am for this video. Thank You for reminding me that God is my priority and everything else is his.
I'm so happy!! God comforts us so that we can comfort others! So thats why it's so important to me that I share exactly what I went through & how God led me through it! 💕 Bless you!!
This is so encouraging. I have been following you for a while and every once in a while i rewatch your videos when i need to feel encouraged. Thank you for sharing your story it has helped me in my waiting season. Sending blessings to you and your family ❤
Hmmm Interesting....I actually like watching Comedy Romance Movies, to help inspire me, and visualize my life. Watching those movies actually give me *hope*
I just want to thank you for your videos because they have been so encouraging to me. Watching your videos is like having a great conversation with a friend. God bless!
So encouraged by your story! I have been praying for 8 years now still waiting on God's promise to me ... like you, I have prayed that I know that I will know when I meet this person. Right now after watching a few of your videos I told God that I didn't want anymore distractions as I have had one too many. Jesus is enough and I want to devote my time to him and pray that I meet someone organically like you have. God is good! Also, can I ask you what shade of lipstick you are wearing in this video :) I love it!
I'm so happy you're encouraged! ❤️ That's exactly why I share it! I've been exactly where you are, and have seen HIS faithfulness over and over again! He is so good! Praying for you today, Ashley! 💕 ( Also, the lipstick is MAC A Little Tamed- powder kiss lipsick ☺️)
Hey!! I heard you say you were a Pentecostal, I'm a young Christian trying to see which denomination suits me most, right now I am non denominational. I know all churches are different, but could you consider making a future video on your Pentecostal denomination and what it entails and why you are in that denomination? Great vid btw❤
There is no denomination, the bible doesn’t say for the Catholics to do this or that, or the Pentecostal to do this or that, it just says christians go to the one that speaks the most truth of the word. Not sure which that is cuz I don’t go to church or have a denomination.
I really adore her video and her channel..But I want to tell the one who asked the question that God has formed his church and made Peter the head of it and through his successor (the pope) the church is giving the sacramental blessings each day...Though everything that makes us near to Jesus is good, u can really get the full fruit of salvation offered by Jesus through Catholic church only
Totally agree with you. I grew up watching Chinese romantic anime, fairytales then switched on to Kdrama binge-watching and Chinese drama addiction. All these not only created a false perception of romance this triggered me to imagine more and daydream. I used to watch hallmark movies only when I had no option because it was clearly predictable every time. It became quite a distractor and a snare that made me crave emotional connection and the feeling of being loved during singleness season. Every time I would go on an entertainment rave, it affected my spirituality. I had to put double the effort to regain my purity and intimacy in my relationship with God. A few months back, God told me to stop listening to and singing secular music and watching certain shows and entertainment.
Terri Lynn , this is why I miss you . Your so encouraging ! Gods timing is always perfect , waiting on the lord is hard when we want things now . Pray for me to find a good godly man . Ps: your glowing mamma 💜
i come back to your page everyday to see if you've uploaded a new video. there are no others like them on youtube. i would love more! more spiritual videos, your relationship with jesus, etc. thank you!!

I have put my 100% trust in God since september last year, which was when i first started to pray for my kingdom spouse. Today i started to pray for him again, what did you do while waiting?
Dear Sister, I don't know if you know... I'm 46y and a half, I'm born again at December 22nd! I had 1 official wedding, civil one with my son's father in 2002 and we are divorced for a very long time. And I had a wedding with an ex boyfriend in Vegas. I'm Portuguese, I'm alone since 2019, because I wanted to clean myself of a husband, and since I became a believer and follower of Jesus I've been praying for a Godly husband! You are very young, thank you for sharing your inspiring story! I still have hope!
Hi! The week between when you met your husband at the restaurant and when he showed up at your church, what did you do? How did you feel? Where you ever thinking he would not see him again?
I've always been pursued by men through highschool, after. and I've entered into relationships that broke me (there were signs but I didnt know as a young person) and each heartache and lack of love or failure from lust relationships without His presence actually destroyed then molded me to seek after Him. When I found God of the Bible is real, I decided to live for Him and I was HIGH I don't need a man to fulfill me I wanted to be a business woman and was so happy success kept unfolding in my life. Then met someone who is not of God (unequally yolked) who love bombed me it was like a fairytale movie .... and this man hot pursued me saying I was the one, lets move together etc around the time all my friends were engaged, married, buying homes, having children so when it ended (ofc it did. we're not equally yolked) that actually destroyed me totally to truly be unveiled to His Word. This saved my soul. The entire scriptures are clear, His kingdom plans are clear. His commandments and plans to redeem us through what He has shown Israel and to redeem Israel has not never changed. We're being grafted in to that promise through Yeshua our messiah. I wasn't interested in anyone and was so good with being single and married to the Lord, waiting for the bridegroom... we never know what will happen in life so why worry about whether being married/single whatever? Just focus on each day as it is... If someone is meant for me then great but if not then the pain of disconnect is not worth it and He is so good give me so much joy through everything He continues to show me that He is with me as I seek Him. End of November 2022 someone popped up in my radar and I was floored by how incredible he is... that's why I'm here. I dont know him personally but he seems to be in every bit from the outside what I would want in a husband. temptation? how can someone fit what I desire so perfectly if I ever wanted a spouse? Its been 5 years of being single that felt like honestly a blink. My desire for marriage/being with people disappeared with my friends divorcing left right and center or being miserable in their marriage and having problems/wishing they were with someone else/being stuck and working things out and being unable to focus on God. So that made me ok with my singleness so I can devote myself completley to Him. For 3 years before my ex I was single, those years which also felt like a blink. If anyone is waiting for a relationship/marriage.... I know if God is willing I have a nearly blind friend who was born deaf few months after we met she fasted, was founded by the most handsome incredible guy and they've now married/with the cutest baby, he is so supporitive (ears and eyes for her) and they're very happy. I've also met a woman in her 80s be so excited move to europe/married joyful. I've met moms running with strollers as a group... they had their babies in their mid 40s. I don't know how these things happen but I know love is a gift. God loves to give good gifts. Being impatient about marriage or someone... whether something may or may not happen can be so messed up and sickening... but know that whether or not you have this person who you think God spoke to you about... whether you want it to be or not... just know by recounting all His miracles so far in you life and remember the redeemer lives. It's so painful to have your hope deferred. It makes the heart sick yes but know know know lift your soul and remember yours, ours, my Redeemer lives.
Hi to you both! I’m married but decided to have a listen. It would be great if your husband can also do a waiting on your spouse, but from a man’s perspective. This would be quite informative for many of those who are currently in the process of waiting. Would he consider this? God bless. :)
I'm waiting on God and it hurts. I've been waiting for 6 years now and celibate. It hurts and feels like God won't ever send him. There is this guy that has tried to get with me for 4 years. He wants a relationship but I'm not attracted to him and I refuse to give myself to someone that I'm not attracted too. Waiting hurts and it feels like he would never come. My faith goes up and down very often. I'm so confused as to why God is making me wait so long. It's so frustrating and very hard to deal with. I don't won't to lose faith while waiting. Sometimes I just don't know what to do.
Try waiting all your adults life. I've always been single! I'm a 40 year old male. Asked many women out and it's the same response "I have a partner or I'm busy" It's more difficult today as women are more interested in looking at their smartphones. I've prayed for over 10 years for a wife and nothing!! I know singleness is a gift but I desire a wife and marriage. It doesn't make any sense.
How are you spending time in your singleness. Are you leaning and waiting God or are you trying to rush his work that he is doing in her . Yiu can use your time to build yourself in God because it takes 2 to get married but we need Jesus the most in the marriage . You should also work in breaking generational witchcraft and curses in your family . Your ministry God has given you and wait be Patient, pray for her , she could be going through warfare and she needs God .
Hang in there brother. There are decent women out there, it's just God knows where they are all at..lol. In the appointed time and by God's will you may meet the one God has for you. I totally understand your discouragement in not meeting anyone. I am almost 46 and have been praying many years. It may be God's will, it may not. It's disheartening sometimes. God bless you and praying the Lord answers your prayer soon.
Your testimony was really very helpful and encouraging and I am at this stage right now where I really want to remain single because I need to work on my self and heal from my past relationship wounds, but the thing is that there are good men that keep on showing up and texting me and I feel they are such a distraction and I’m feeling very anxious and frustrated because of guilt feelings of not responding on them, I feel i am being rude and impolite for not responding or texting back and even if I respond that I am not pursuing a relationship they keep on insisting which makes me so depressed and lose my peace… what should I do in this case 😢
Hii can you make a video on “what to pray to God about your spouse”.. I know it’s personal for everyone, but would be nice to get your perspective on this one ! Love you love story btw ❤️ Love from India 💜
I am about to marry a man who has a one child out of wedlock. He took responsibilty to the child ..he didnt abandon him ever since he was born.but i wanna be careful with my decisions. I wanna follow God. I dont know if im in trouble now. It causes me pain and anxiety.Could someone giv me biblical advice. is it a sin against God to marry a man who has one child out of wedlock? Im afraid maybe i could commit adultery in Gods eyes. Thank you so much and Godbless🙏
i can't keep waiting on god for no man i would rather move on with my life i am a diabetic type 2 i am on insulin and i am on medication i am a proper diet i have to look after myself it is god who put me in the place i am on when i lost my mother i was sad i hardly couldn't accept the death of my mother i had these horrible signs that i wasn't feeling well i lost my appetite and i would sleep everyday and i was getting tired easily and i was taken by the hospital in an ambulance because my blood sugar was high and i was being told i was a diabetic
What you say is good advice and mostly helpful to many single people, but God does not promise anyone a spouse. Yes he's a loving God and he permits many of his people a spouse, and nonbelievers also generally find marriage as well. But some Christians are not chosen for marriage. They would like to be married, but God says no. Somehow keeping them from marriage is the best way for them to live even though it seems bad from our perspective. I am not referring to those men and women who are called to lifelong singleness, no these people want marriage but must learn to surrender that desire to God for their lives! And who would benefit the most from being single? Pastors and missionaries according to 1 Corinthians 7, yet those two groups of Christians often marry young and have several children right away. It's men and women who are in longterm, unwanted singleness that are told to surrender their desire to God and focus on serving him and improving themselves. Even if they've been living this way for 30 years. I am not criticizing your post, but I am asking the churches a very important question. Why are you not teaching all single people how to date, how to be married, and how to be parents? You wait till a couple announces their engagement, provide woefully inadequate marriage counseling, and elevate them to special status while basically ignoring your singles! Something is very wrong with this set up.
It's easier for women to meet a potential partner. For us men It's really difficult. Women have many boxes they want ticking. Their expectations are unrealistic.
I'm 38 and still waiting for my prince😂 Please, pray for me! Thank you!🙌😇💜
You met your spouse after waiting on God for 7 years and 7 months. 7 is Gods number of perfection.
That number appears frequently throughout my life.
God is not into numerology. He does things at his own time and pace, we do not know how long.

Really great encouragement! It can be difficult to rest in a string of God’s No’s - yet His goodness is there, all along; especially in lonely times. Thanks for sharing this!
Wait and actively wait 🙏🏻🙌🏻🥰❤️
God is with you. Your identity, joy, peace and completeness is in Jesus Christ ❤️❤️❤️
GOD IS SO REAL AND GOOD AND HAS OUR BEST INTERESTS THANKS FOR THE VIDEO BE BLESSED!!!
He absolutely does!
@@Countdowntoclarke AMEN!!! BE BLESSED!!!
I have been praying many many times in my younger years that I would find the right man where I could have my own family with (having a child). I am 55 years old now, never met "the man" and my childbearing days are over (had hope till I was 47). At 51 menopause arrived. I am very very sad that I could have had my own child or children, but it didn't happen because I didn't find the right man for me. Only heartache was my part. So you can believe in the waiting season like you said in this video, but eventually it doesn't happen for everybody. You are lucky, very lucky that you have found the man to spend your life with and are now expecting a baby.
May God bless your heart Deborah, may God’s will be done on earth as in the heavens
Praying for you and that God turns your faith around and has soo much greatness in store for you. 🙏
@@ncbeauty85 Thank you for your kindness.
@@elietombo2977 Thank you for your kindness.
@@deborahbloem1325 if there's one thing I've promised God lately is that i'll wait on Him patiently if it pleases him to Send me one its fine if not its still fine but one thing I'll never do is to leave His ways. I'll trust in Him even when trusting in Him doesn't make no sense. Keep loving God He's enough and you're complete in Him. A man will not complete you but God will. And again its not too late, He comes at eleventh hour, consider the Story of Job in the phase where God blessed him a hundred times more, Consider the story of Sarah and Abraham, Sarah was past Child bearing age but was blessed with Isaac. If its a desire that you have to find the one, Believe Him today He's gonna do it and you will never wish to have had it in any other way or even earlier than now!! Jesus Loves you!
I am waiting. I have huge problem with beliving in my dream, and God's will. This video helped me to click in my mind that I will be happy someday. And God wil help me, I have to wait. Thank youu very much for opening my eyes. I will not be afraid of being lonely anymore. Thank you!😇💙🌙🌠🌟💫
I am 62 and still believing for a Godly spouse! Been divorced for 29 yrs. Waiting is getting harder now that I am in my senior yrs! Don't want to be alone anymore!
Thanks Clarke at least now I know that I am not the only one who has been lonely and hoping and waiting on god. Your words that when you looked back at your waiting season gave me a hope that I would also look back like you soon in the future
Your words are so comforting and I have no words for how grateful I am for this video. Thank You for reminding me that God is my priority and everything else is his.
❤️❤️
Just one thing I wanna say "Thank you"
❤️❤️❤️
I'm waiting patiently to hear from you again. May the gracious God be with you and protect your entire family.
Thank you very much for this... was really worried today about this and seeeee God used you to speak to me. Thank you love

I'm so happy!! God comforts us so that we can comfort others! So thats why it's so important to me that I share exactly what I went through & how God led me through it! 💕 Bless you!!
@@Countdowntoclarke bless you too love
Amen sis. Thank you for the remaining faithful and faithful and for your encouragement!
This is so encouraging. I have been following you for a while and every once in a while i rewatch your videos when i need to feel encouraged. Thank you for sharing your story it has helped me in my waiting season. Sending blessings to you and your family ❤
It's true loneness can make u start to worry at time
Amen
Hmmm Interesting....I actually like watching Comedy Romance Movies, to help inspire me, and visualize my life.
Watching those movies actually give me *hope*
I just want to thank you for your videos because they have been so encouraging to me. Watching your videos is like having a great conversation with a friend. God bless!
So encouraged by your story! I have been praying for 8 years now still waiting on God's promise to me ... like you, I have prayed that I know that I will know when I meet this person. Right now after watching a few of your videos I told God that I didn't want anymore distractions as I have had one too many. Jesus is enough and I want to devote my time to him and pray that I meet someone organically like you have. God is good! Also, can I ask you what shade of lipstick you are wearing in this video :) I love it!
I'm so happy you're encouraged! ❤️ That's exactly why I share it! I've been exactly where you are, and have seen HIS faithfulness over and over again! He is so good! Praying for you today, Ashley! 💕 ( Also, the lipstick is MAC A Little Tamed- powder kiss lipsick ☺️)
@@Countdowntoclarke Thank you, that means so much to me! Definitely needing those prayers today. ♥️
THANK YOU for your authenticity in this video, love. Everything you said came from a place of love and understanding. This was so encouraging 😊
This was really helpful for me!!!! Thank you for sharing.
My current situation displayed 😄 hallmark movies and I now friends, it’s amazing how you love Christ, i wish i stop the hallmarking and trust GOD MORE
It will be worth it
You're warm, I picked up some very encouraging nuggets watching. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Best one I have seen on this topic yet. And I have seen a lot!! Thank you for the authenticity and practical tips!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! I pray you're encouraged!! 💕💕
God bless sister. Yes, waiting with expectation. Thank you Lord.
Amen! Bless you!!
Hey!! I heard you say you were a Pentecostal, I'm a young Christian trying to see which denomination suits me most, right now I am non denominational. I know all churches are different, but could you consider making a future video on your Pentecostal denomination and what it entails and why you are in that denomination? Great vid btw❤
Absolutely!! We'll add that in with our next Q&A! 💕
@@Countdowntoclarke awesome tysm
There is no denomination, the bible doesn’t say for the Catholics to do this or that, or the Pentecostal to do this or that, it just says christians go to the one that speaks the most truth of the word. Not sure which that is cuz I don’t go to church or have a denomination.
I really adore her video and her channel..But I want to tell the one who asked the question that God has formed his church and made Peter the head of it and through his successor (the pope) the church is giving the sacramental blessings each day...Though everything that makes us near to Jesus is good, u can really get the full fruit of salvation offered by Jesus through Catholic church only
Totally agree with you. I grew up watching Chinese romantic anime, fairytales then switched on to Kdrama binge-watching and Chinese drama addiction. All these not only created a false perception of romance this triggered me to imagine more and daydream. I used to watch hallmark movies only when I had no option because it was clearly predictable every time. It became quite a distractor and a snare that made me crave emotional connection and the feeling of being loved during singleness season. Every time I would go on an entertainment rave, it affected my spirituality. I had to put double the effort to regain my purity and intimacy in my relationship with God. A few months back, God told me to stop listening to and singing secular music and watching certain shows and entertainment.
Amen 🙏 thank you so much for this amesing powfull messages am waiting for my husband Me also
God bless you a billion times.Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts.
Terri Lynn , this is why I miss you . Your so encouraging ! Gods timing is always perfect , waiting on the lord is hard when we want things now . Pray for me to find a good godly man . Ps: your glowing mamma 💜

Yay!! You're first!!
I have put my 100% trust in God since september last year, which was when i first started to pray for my kingdom spouse. Today i started to pray for him again, what did you do while waiting?
Dear Sister, I don't know if you know... I'm 46y and a half, I'm born again at December 22nd! I had 1 official wedding, civil one with my son's father in 2002 and we are divorced for a very long time. And I had a wedding with an ex boyfriend in Vegas. I'm Portuguese, I'm alone since 2019, because I wanted to clean myself of a husband, and since I became a believer and follower of Jesus I've been praying for a Godly husband! You are very young, thank you for sharing your inspiring story! I still have hope!
Hi! The week between when you met your husband at the restaurant and when he showed up at your church, what did you do? How did you feel? Where you ever thinking he would not see him again?
So beautiful. You are beautiful too. Big fan from Kenya
Love to Kenya!! ❤️
I've always been pursued by men through highschool, after. and I've entered into relationships that broke me (there were signs but I didnt know as a young person) and each heartache and lack of love or failure from lust relationships without His presence actually destroyed then molded me to seek after Him. When I found God of the Bible is real, I decided to live for Him and I was HIGH I don't need a man to fulfill me I wanted to be a business woman and was so happy success kept unfolding in my life. Then met someone who is not of God (unequally yolked) who love bombed me it was like a fairytale movie .... and this man hot pursued me saying I was the one, lets move together etc around the time all my friends were engaged, married, buying homes, having children so when it ended (ofc it did. we're not equally yolked) that actually destroyed me totally to truly be unveiled to His Word. This saved my soul. The entire scriptures are clear, His kingdom plans are clear. His commandments and plans to redeem us through what He has shown Israel and to redeem Israel has not never changed. We're being grafted in to that promise through Yeshua our messiah. I wasn't interested in anyone and was so good with being single and married to the Lord, waiting for the bridegroom... we never know what will happen in life so why worry about whether being married/single whatever? Just focus on each day as it is... If someone is meant for me then great but if not then the pain of disconnect is not worth it and He is so good give me so much joy through everything He continues to show me that He is with me as I seek Him. End of November 2022 someone popped up in my radar and I was floored by how incredible he is... that's why I'm here. I dont know him personally but he seems to be in every bit from the outside what I would want in a husband. temptation? how can someone fit what I desire so perfectly if I ever wanted a spouse? Its been 5 years of being single that felt like honestly a blink. My desire for marriage/being with people disappeared with my friends divorcing left right and center or being miserable in their marriage and having problems/wishing they were with someone else/being stuck and working things out and being unable to focus on God. So that made me ok with my singleness so I can devote myself completley to Him. For 3 years before my ex I was single, those years which also felt like a blink. If anyone is waiting for a relationship/marriage.... I know if God is willing I have a nearly blind friend who was born deaf few months after we met she fasted, was founded by the most handsome incredible guy and they've now married/with the cutest baby, he is so supporitive (ears and eyes for her) and they're very happy. I've also met a woman in her 80s be so excited move to europe/married joyful. I've met moms running with strollers as a group... they had their babies in their mid 40s. I don't know how these things happen but I know love is a gift. God loves to give good gifts. Being impatient about marriage or someone... whether something may or may not happen can be so messed up and sickening... but know that whether or not you have this person who you think God spoke to you about... whether you want it to be or not... just know by recounting all His miracles so far in you life and remember the redeemer lives. It's so painful to have your hope deferred. It makes the heart sick yes but know know know lift your soul and remember yours, ours, my Redeemer lives.
Your comment gave me so much encouragement ❤️
I hoped it would help someone and so glad it did. Jesus loves you. All glory to Him who is able !!! @@somethinggood9267
Hi to you both! I’m married but decided to have a listen.
It would be great if your husband can also do a waiting on your spouse, but from a man’s perspective. This would be quite informative for many of those who are currently in the process of waiting. Would he consider this? God bless. :)
Awe, well thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed it :) That's a great idea!!
I'm waiting on God and it hurts. I've been waiting for 6 years now and celibate. It hurts and feels like God won't ever send him. There is this guy that has tried to get with me for 4 years. He wants a relationship but I'm not attracted to him and I refuse to give myself to someone that I'm not attracted too. Waiting hurts and it feels like he would never come. My faith goes up and down very often. I'm so confused as to why God is making me wait so long. It's so frustrating and very hard to deal with. I don't won't to lose faith while waiting. Sometimes I just don't know what to do.
Try waiting all your adults life. I've always been single! I'm a 40 year old male. Asked many women out and it's the same response "I have a partner or I'm busy" It's more difficult today as women are more interested in looking at their smartphones. I've prayed for over 10 years for a wife and nothing!! I know singleness is a gift but I desire a wife and marriage. It doesn't make any sense.
How are you spending time in your singleness. Are you leaning and waiting God or are you trying to rush his work that he is doing in her .
Yiu can use your time to build yourself in God because it takes 2 to get married but we need Jesus the most in the marriage .
You should also work in breaking generational witchcraft and curses in your family . Your ministry God has given you and wait be Patient, pray for her , she could be going through warfare and she needs God .
Hang in there brother. There are decent women out there, it's just God knows where they are all at..lol. In the appointed time and by God's will you may meet the one God has for you. I totally understand your discouragement in not meeting anyone. I am almost 46 and have been praying many years. It may be God's will, it may not. It's disheartening sometimes. God bless you and praying the Lord answers your prayer soon.
Your testimony was really very helpful and encouraging and I am at this stage right now where I really want to remain single because I need to work on my self and heal from my past relationship wounds, but the thing is that there are good men that keep on showing up and texting me and I feel they are such a distraction and I’m feeling very anxious and frustrated because of guilt feelings of not responding on them, I feel i am being rude and impolite for not responding or texting back and even if I respond that I am not pursuing a relationship they keep on insisting which makes me so depressed and lose my peace… what should I do in this case 😢
Hii can you make a video on “what to pray to God about your spouse”.. I know it’s personal for everyone, but would be nice to get your perspective on this one !
Love you love story btw ❤️ Love from India 💜
That's a great idea!! 💕 Thanks so much, sending love to India!!
This was so good!! Thanks for taking the time out to make this video!!💕
You are SO welcome!! God is too good, just have to share about His goodness! 💕
I am about to marry a man who has a one child out of wedlock. He took responsibilty to the child ..he didnt abandon him ever since he was born.but i wanna be careful with my decisions. I wanna follow God. I dont know if im in trouble now. It causes me pain and anxiety.Could someone giv me biblical advice. is it a sin against God to marry a man who has one child out of wedlock? Im afraid maybe i could commit adultery in Gods eyes. Thank you so much and Godbless🙏
It's the only way I obey what the Holy Spirit tell me it hard not to when he take over my mouth
When did he manifest?
True 7
i can't keep waiting on god for no man i would rather move on with my life i am a diabetic type 2 i am on insulin and i am on medication i am a proper diet i have to look after myself it is god who put me in the place i am on when i lost my mother i was sad i hardly couldn't accept the death of my mother i had these horrible signs that i wasn't feeling well i lost my appetite and i would sleep everyday and i was getting tired easily and i was taken by the hospital in an ambulance because my blood sugar was high and i was being told i was a diabetic
❤
Jesus is coming soon, accept him as your Lord and Savior and repent from all your sins before it's too late for you to be saved.
😍🙏🏻
What you say is good advice and mostly helpful to many single people, but God does not promise anyone a spouse. Yes he's a loving God and he permits many of his people a spouse, and nonbelievers also generally find marriage as well. But some Christians are not chosen for marriage. They would like to be married, but God says no. Somehow keeping them from marriage is the best way for them to live even though it seems bad from our perspective. I am not referring to those men and women who are called to lifelong singleness, no these people want marriage but must learn to surrender that desire to God for their lives! And who would benefit the most from being single? Pastors and missionaries according to 1 Corinthians 7, yet those two groups of Christians often marry young and have several children right away. It's men and women who are in longterm, unwanted singleness that are told to surrender their desire to God and focus on serving him and improving themselves. Even if they've been living this way for 30 years. I am not criticizing your post, but I am asking the churches a very important question. Why are you not teaching all single people how to date, how to be married, and how to be parents? You wait till a couple announces their engagement, provide woefully inadequate marriage counseling, and elevate them to special status while basically ignoring your singles! Something is very wrong with this set up.
Wooh I loved hall mark movies,untill they introduced gay stuff,am grateful for you pointing out the sad triggers while one is waiting.
Americans will pass the buck to anybody, even God!
too much rambling.
I’m a man but I have no problem hearing it from a woman’s perspective ❤️🩸☀️
It's easier for women to meet a potential partner. For us men It's really difficult. Women have many boxes they want ticking. Their expectations are unrealistic.
Amen
