I love how much emphasis you put on Jesus in this video. I love this video to because I heard the name Jesus idk how many times but it’s great to hear his name haha. God bless and thank you!
Thank you for your dedication in sharing God’s word to those who would like to be married. In this video just the teaching about the man at the pool of Bethesda is worth the video watch. I am an alumnus of AGW University. I have been blessed by the teaching and have gained a deeper understanding of biblical marriage. I am not married yet but I know God is faithful. Blessings to you and your family.
After 15 years of not dating and being fearful of having a failed relationship, I’m finally ready. One thing that I keep running against is that I haven’t met any Christian men who have been celibate as long as I have and many have had children out of wedlock. I’m not crazy about that 😬
I learned a while ago that there are some but not many celibate men in the church, but maybe God will have you to meet a man that may become celibate because he truly loves you? It's so great that you have your standards so trust God to do the rest 🙏🏽 p.s. if a man has been celibate for at least a year or 2 that does not mean that he's not just as committed to God as you with your 15 years, and what if it's in God's will for you to marry someone with that much time in?
Celibacy is very difficult for a majority of men these days because they were psychology taught to believe that it would stop working if they didn't do it which is false
F.Y.I.: I accepted "JESUS CHRIST" as "MY LORD & SAVIOR" on "SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2011"!! That happened "3 DAYS AFTER I TURNED 39 YEARS OLD"!! What better present to receive than to "ALLOW JESUS CHRIST" to be "YOUR LORD & SAVIOR"?!?!?!
4 years single and celibate for me! Glory to Christ! I started dating at 12 ish and was in a 7 year relationship until i was 24. when Jesus called me home it dawned on me that i was sexually active for 12 years straight. the first few months of being single was tough. but its like he completely healed my soul of sexual perversion. i've only spoken to a few christian women. it just wasnt meant to be. Abba will make it painfully obvious who you're meant to spend forever with. Despite enjoying singleness, i have been praying to find a woman. I've been having strange dreams regarding a reoccurring woman who'm it just feels like she is my partner in the spirit. even though we haven't met, i just know its about to happen in Gods timing. i understand why he had us in isolation to better walk in the spirit. The refining process is necessary!!
Hello believers, this is so comforting Mark and all the comments make me feel i am not alone in what i feel, waiting like Hannah in prayer ans petition for God to send me the husband that He is preparing for me. #TrustJesus❤
Been watching over years now he has extensive biblical sound knowledge on relationships and he tries to understand the questions and hearts of his audience too!! Must pray before watching tho! 🙏
It has been a very meaningful passage to me and you did an excellent job applying it to the struggles we have as single Christian men and women who desire marriage.
I come from a background where there were a lot of taboos surrounding this whole topic. When I started to pray about it, I felt to try online dating as there are very few options in my own community. Despite the good experience online, I still ended up getting back offline (not the type for online dating), continue to pray and stay available. Thank God for my married friends, who have a heart for my single friends and I, they then started to introduce people in their friends circles and at the same time helped to make us feel less awkward about the topic. I'm saying this, because your ministry is playing a huge part in our journeys as well. Thank you so much.
I haven't been on this channel for a while (even though I'm subscribed. But I guess I'm open to meeting the one, but at the same time, I am being patient and content. But I do want a family one day
I thought I was, but I need to stop two things, and I ask for your prayers. I started smoking weed 15 years ago after a really bad breakup. I have smoked every day since. I have been begging for God to lead me out of this bomdage, and last week something changed in my life showing me it is time for a leap of faith. I am on day 4 of really quiting, and havent bought any in 3 weeks, but I am going through absolute hell. I know it sounds silly, but I was shaking for it yesterday. I cant even fall asleep until 3am. This is not even for a relationship as much as just being in a good place so I can adopt children one day, but I need His dicipline to leave a legacy of character, loving others, and faith. I truly feel this is his plan for me, and I just ask for prayers. He has made me want these children so bad I cant even think about anything else some times. I do want them to have a dad as well, but I know if a man doesnt come along they will have the best Father. My dad died when I was young, and my mom always told me I still have my Father. Those words meant more to me than anything in my life ❤
Yes not every time I think I’m with the one God wants me to be with- it turns sour. Leaving a regains now another one I thought was “the one”. Going to take time for myself dvd to heal myself. I be du Hope one day I could find a decent man who will really love and care about me
Great question. I feel this is more of a question that God can only answer for you, but I could hopefully guide you to finding your answer. Be content in what God is doing in your season of singleness and be joyful now for what and who He has for you and thank Him for it. In this time, focus on God and your desires will be put given to you by Him (Psalm 37:4). God won't force marriage upon you if you don't want it, but He will also lead you to the right person if you do desire it according to His will. If anything, take this, focus solely on loving Him. Seek first the kingdom of God and all things will follow (Matthew 6:33). Ask yourself, are you scared to lose that desire, or do you TRULY not know if that desire is dying down because of your content in singleness? What is God doing with you right now? Are you building your relationship with Him in this time? Are you loving God more than the things He can bring to you? Just some general questions to help. Also, you may have a desire for something now, but later on you may not have that desire or vice versa. But you also may lose a desire that you had before for a certain period of time and that desire may come back. The desire may die down because you're not ready but when you are ready, it may come back. Wouldn't you know if you didn't want to be married though? I know it's not much but hopefully you'll be guided towards the right direction! I pray that you find your answers! ❤
What should you do if you tried to put yourself out there and have attended Singles, and Young Adult Groups and tried dating apps but nothing came of it?
Try praying to God about it and know that he is listening to your prayers. He may not answer them right away like you want him to, but the reason why he takes a long time is because he probably wants you to give up something, like the idea of true love, and he'll probably lead you to your future wife.
I'm still open! I'm also old enough to feel pretty well on the track I'm on. And most of the guys on dating sites...aren't real...sheesh! But I will consider the points made in the video.
i won't be able to enroll for this course but thanks for sharing this! u know i don't steal cheat or drink or smoke or do druggs but lately i m having constant struggle with lust!! 😢 which i want to cure it... and more m waiting for someone for last 17 years.. m tired sometimes. my only curiosity is that there's this girl in my mind who's from church..n we know each other but we often talk to each other in these so many years we both couldn't get settle in marriage thing.. her though keeps popping in my mind... she's one of a kind.. but seems to be less interested... n i don't know however i told her about my feelings to her..sometimes i feel deep in my heart that my lust is delaying everything good in my life..n this girls one of those things😢
Try reading the Bible about it and praying to God about it, and watch videos about it. Do whatever it is you need to do in order to get rid of listing.
I been praying for year but I wasn’t ready until recently because I started to get to know him and me, I’m disabled so I want someone who can help me and understand how I can help her emotionally only
Hi, Jesus has died on the cross so that (and perhaps, there is more) we may be forgiven for our sins (perhaps for everyone). Jesus rose from the dead! 🙏 Please accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through him.🙂🙏
I don’t know what He is saying to me, that’s the problem. The Bible cannot tell me where my husband is. Also, women are not to go looking for a man. We are at a disadvantage because we have to wait until a man finds us or not.
Can I just say that I was ready and wanting to be...but I honestly don't want to care anymore if I ever get him in my life. I am probably not the only one who is tired of God blessing others with "the one" while we wait and wait. Why care. I have been watching these videos for so many years..with no hope in this blessing from God.
I would encourage you to talk to a friend, pastor, or counselor and tell them what action steps you have taken and then ask them for their honest feedback on if they see any clear barriers that you could do something about

How do you know if you are content in singleness FOR A SEASON or if your desire for marriage is dying down?
Great question

Be content in what God is doing in your season of singleness and be joyful now for what and who He has for you and thank Him for it.
