Asking God about this person BEFORE entering into a relationship. Not every Christian person is suited to be with you. The Lord knows best and taking it up in prayer is definitely the best choice.
The signs 1.If the relationship is helping and hurting your relationship with God 2. If you feel closer to God when you're with that person. Basically When you're with someone god bless you to be with ! 3.when you feel free to be yourself and not pressure to be someone you're not! 4.if the relationship is stretching you in healthy ways 5.if you can see a healthy future /ministry with that person
Codelingo hey I saw your question I don't know if I'm qualified to answer this question but when I was in a relationship which was year ago! I dated this guy for 8 months but there were a lot of things that weren't working even though we tried and we kept having red flags but we decided to move forward. Which was not good! But with this video these are good sign to know if you're in a good path relational wise. The last sign (#5) is vital because what God plans to do between you and your future spouse is important. You want to equally yoked to do Gods work together! This amazing guy I met say something very important to me is that God will is what he wants for his life. God will speak to you and show you his will for your life! Even if that means ending that relationship! Side note the day before that relationship ended I ask god if he didn't want us to be together to end it. The next day the guy ended it ! Remember it may hurt but God heals and restore I know I'm someone future wife But have to keep growing and planting myself in Gods word! You must have patiences If he care for the birds and flowers he'll care for you ! So don't worry! My favorite saying/verse The best is yet to come 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Both my girlfriend and I got 5/5 on this! Wow moment! That being said we will still continue to trust God's leading in our relationship. I believe this is really good advice though! Blessed by your channel!
YT family. I have found a Godly women who checks all of these boxes. Please pray for us to keep doing Gods work and keep building a love built on Christ! Her name is Gabriella and my name is Stephen. Love you all!!!
I started dating my bf about two years ago. We have had many hard times and he exposed my unhealed wounds challenging me to face them head on. Hope it’s a good sign for us.💗🌸💞🦋
I’m 36 yet I feel so disappointed in myself. 😞 I’m just starting to walk with Jesus and I feel like I’m here walking alone. I am talking to someone online that seems to be a follower of Jesus but because of a lot of bad relationships I feel like I have to hide a lot about myself when I really just want to tell the person this is who I am, this is what I want and I want to include Jesus in every conversation. I spent 6 years in a relationship and it made it so much harder to connect with God. I’ve also let God know that I want to get married, have kids, be a missionary, help out my community, join a church, etc.
Mariah, don't ever feel disappointed in yourself for anything. This walk with Christ is never easy but one thing that devil will make you feel is that you're alone and you're not. Please don't be afraid that you had bad relationships in the past you feel you have to hide yourself. Never limit yourself because of those bad experiences, and Im sorry you went through them. Talk to the person you're talking to about what you would like to share because you should be free to tell them who you are because you are Very unique and valuable. God knows the desires of your heart and work with him and he will grant them to you in his perfect timing. I wont hold much more of your time but tell you there's going to be someone who will love you and appreciate you for you. If this person isn't the one, just know Jesus has better for you sis. God bless you sis. Stay strong and encouraged in Jesus :)
Being older I am very cautious. I have been alone for a long time. I am independent and I have no problem with a potential partner being the same. I refuse to be controlled and manipulated. Everyone including Christians need to watch out for this. Don't want anyone to go through what I did.
Really wise words! Your videos have been helping me especially now that I’m getting to closer to my good friend from church, and our friendship is leading up to be more than just a friendship, like you said in this video I feel a great peace when I pray about him to God.☺️ And through your videos I have come to understand what it is to be in a Christian relationship and putting God first above all else. So thank you for talking about these subjects! Please continue to make more!
Amen, you want to be at peace about relationships when they are from the Lord. So glad to hear that God has been using this channel to bless you. Thanks for sharing :)
Nice job!!! Iam 18. Never been in a relationship. (Mostly becouse i knew i wasnt ready for this) But God has called me to be an overseas missionary. So I wonder if i will ever get married due to the difficulty of my calling. But i keep what you say in my heart just in case. Thanks
Silvanus Rempel Depending on the ministry, some agencies would prefer married missionaries. That is because it is believed their focus would be better and they would be less likely to commit sexual sin. Just something to think about.
I enjoy your practical application of God's word. You have a gifting in translating God's word/concepts in the bible in a relatable way that makes it easy to practice.
Thank you - God is putting us through something. The best I can figure is it’s our time of discernment. May God continue to bless you and your ministry
Amen to point 5... The most amazing thing that a person seek a partner supporting a full time ministry ... Cause at the end of the day it's the great commission of Matthew 28 we are to keep.. :)
I’m 17 and have been dating the same girl for the past three -ish- years. It can be difficult at times to know just how serious to take our relationship. We’re both working on finding work, I’m working on getting my license, and we’re still only 17. But at the same time, we’ve known each other for practically our entire lives, we go on mission trips with each other (and our youth group) every summer, we both love God, and we can definitely see an awesome future together. She’s expressed that she’s eager to support me in whatever God’s called me to do, I plan on going into Deaf ministry, becoming a licensed interpreter, and getting teaching credentials. She’s strong in her faith and has a amazing love for the Lord. My worry is that I’m still uncertain if this is what I need to be doing or that I’m just worrying too much. Your video about making sure your intimacy levels are the same as your comment levels raised quite a few questions for me. Namely, what’s a good way to know how committed you are to a person? What’s a good way to tell?
Hello Mark I would love to thank you for this video according to Christian teaching we are taught to pray for partners n been praying for a partner n the qualities I want in my future husband. And here comes a guy he z interested in me n wants marriage so I tell him u know the Christian ways to pray to God to give us confirmations or signs to prove whether we r meant for each other or it's God's will for us to be together. We have been having prayer and fasting about us but God is not speaking anything to both of us. So the time I was interacting with him I liked him and fell in love with him so we are in a relationship n courtship the time I have been with him he has all the qualities I wanted in my future husband I feel at peace and comfortable with or around him. Infact Wat u said in your video I see them too cause he loves God we pray together he encourages me spiritually he rebukes he supports ministries within me I feel it that he is the right man for me my instincts tells me he is my husband but the problem he wants God to speak to me or him whether in a dream vision or hear his voice he wants us to do God's will but not our own will. So Wat advice do u give me I need a counseling about this cause he truely loves me and I love him too but God hasn't spoken to us yet please need help Thanks God bless you as you help me
Very good brother, your a wise young man! Unfortunately I got 5 crosses plus many more, I made a very big mistake marriaging my wife, I was a young Christian and believed God was steering me towards her, now after 7+ year of praying and trying to make it work.... I can now look back and see that God was trying to steer me away! Moved way to fast if only I was more patient and mature in my walk and waited I would have seen she wasn’t for me! Move slowly take your time let God show you! Lesson learnt thank you Jesus.... forgive me ☺️ Blessings!😊
I know you talked briefly about how difficult times in a relationship does not always mean that it's the wrong relationship. Can you maybe make a video that goes more in depth about this topic and about your personal experiences? What were the challenges that you had to go through and how you and Bethany overcame them? I know a big issue for me is that at the first sight of a problem/conflict, my immediate reaction/response is to run and not work through it because it's too hard. I base it a lot off of feelings and not logic. Meaning, I believe I'm in the wrong relationship because it's not easy at all times. I would like to hear and understand how to better cope with this, if possible. Thank you!
I discuss some of the struggles we experienced in dating in this video. th-cam.com/video/rGq_7IfO42s/w-d-xo.html But hopefully we can do a video on this together some day. Great suggestion!
Yes I really want to hear that too, I was about to say the same thing I think we’re on the same page Renee . My boyfriend quarrels over simple things and most of the time we don’t finish our conversations without quarrying. I don’t know if he is the right one for me or maybe things will change . Mark what do you suggest?
Hi it's the same way with me as well... It's sometimes so hard that we don't know sometime whever God is with us of not... You use to always argue every time and this is becoming so unpeaceful... But when i remembered the dream i had about us about what God shown me I'm like should i continu to trust or just give up
Renee Fries I used to be a person who would easily run from difficulties; this is what both of my parents did in their own way. So I had that as an example For many years in my marriage of 41 years (wife has now gone to be with Jesus), I was very insecure, and self centred even though I wanted to be Christ-centered and earnestly desreid to be like Him. I was very backward to develope any brotherly relationships with godly men, so as to pray together and help each other in life's journey. This was all born out of fear, fear of losing something precious; fear of failing; fear of losing face, and so on. This kind of attitude flowed out into the broader family of God, and it did cause some problems. But back in my early years of marriage I was made aware of the need to ask the Lord to 'Change ME!' - not change my wife so much as I had been earnestly praying. Today I still pray on that line - which is very scriptural. Slowly I began to see changes as the years passed by. I had so much to learn and still have. Now I am more willing to talk things through on many levels, and less willing to run. I would recommend that you put the suggestion out to your man 'could we pray together about this?' and then pray that he will join in prayer for the matter/s at hand, and include reading Scripture together... on the knees can help. Then commend your man for taking the lead in the matter, and ask if 'can we do it again'? Also, human love does and will fail no matter how noble and virtuous it is. But God's love will not fail - there is never a drought or famine of the supply of God's love. Ask God to fill you with His love for your man. If you are no married and simply dating, and if he is not willing to pray and read Scripture with you, then perhaps you need to re evaluate your relationship. If you are married, pray and pray and pray till God gives you 'both' a breakthrough, and pray to maintain it - pray without ceasing, with many thanksgivings.
@@eunicebatchy8008 I've seen that the Lord spoke to you upfront concerning your future marriage (dream). Did everything unfold as you expected? I dreamt about us too, 5 months ago. It was unique and spontaneous but leading. After sensing that it was likely a sign for us I began to pray and give little shots ( which I'm still doing) but it's rough, really rough. We haven't made it to the first date yet but we are in touch, chatting! How are rhe state of things now
you know when is the right person, becouse every pain every hurting.. disappear with that person.. (it May be the same person who has hurt you the most in the past) THAT'S THE ONE FOR YOU (the more the devil want to. separate the more he attacks, temptation.. humiliation.. just name them) THE MORE HE ATTACKS THE MORE YOUR DESIRE FOR THIS PERSON!! (the more you hate your enemy.. the more you crazy love him🔥)
Another great one, brother. By no means an all-inclusive "litmus test" (is there such a thing? lol), but it does stress 5 of the most important, Biblically-sound, and practical connection points and fruit indicators! If these 5 are there, it's very likely the other things will be falling into place as the Lord leads and the two people grow together. Likewise, if these aren't present, the other things won't make much difference in living out a relationship that truly honors God and is to be: spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically healthy for both people involved. God Bless!
recently i met a woman that was christian and u believe in god and I'm not religous necessarily but i have christian values of course raised that way and she is almost 27 I'm 19 I'm a virgin i never looked for love but then one day i just met her she wasn't what i expected i have become a better person we tried to be just friends I'm an ambivert and she is an introvert and i tried texting her that was a first asking her if she had feelings cause she definitely was she showed it but she said she found me funny and interesting and she said she was seeing someone and i said good to know she asked if i want to be friends i said i try to be friends with everybody we both have a bad past and what pushed us away was the fear that we were being manipulated i told her I'm scared she was manipulating me and she showed her fear that i was manipulating her we are still nice to each other but this experience i told her to keep her distance and we both need time this experience has helped me grow me and her are so alike yet so distant because we were both scared of love i am more honest and straightforward but I'm not as physically loving as i used to be this feeling of love truly wanting to be with her she said you can't force a conversation and i said you can't resist it either i told her I'm not leaving you you will have to push me away and we tore down walls that we both had she was more physically loving and compassionate i believe as in she is more willing of intimacy in the physical sense while i am more open to intimacy in the physical sense i found myself continuing to ask where is this going are we friends she is hinting at dates etc. but when we stopped and blocked each other we said no hard feelings but i did confess my feelings for her she never did exactly confess her feelings she didn't want to open up we were using each other's lingo finishing each other's sentences when we just met it was a few days and I can't help but ever since i met this female she is the most beautiful girl ever to me when before that would not have been the case ever since she choose to sit close to me and be so nice too me i even said she was to nice she brought out this lovey dovey side in me this love side in me again she didn't want to talk about her past i usually speak what's on my mind i try to be be grateful for challenges in life but i know this is no coincidence that we met we met to tear down each other's walls that were guarding our hearts i have come closer to god and in this season of waiting i am at peace i will do my best i know the next opportunity i get to make up and say hey we both were pretty insecure and just let it go from there the devil was keeping us from love scaring us away i believe i told her I'm not in your league i will make you in my leage she understood but then i backpedaled and said i can live without you i don't plan to pursue these feelings it just happened but we got into arguments over the dumbest things we have let our fear consume us but in two weeks at least i will see her again if god wants it to be so that moment i will know my move
1. Helping not hurting our walk with God. 2. Feel closer to God when with that person. 3. Feel freer to be yourself not pressured. 4. If relationship is stretching us in a healthy way - in ways that needed to be stretched- to grow better. 5. See a Healthy future Christian and fruitful ministry with this person. Thank you Mark 😊😊
I see some good signs about This girl I’m dating right now! I know me and her are 19 so we have a lot of time and I already see good things we want to start dating this January possibly but not taking it to far having Boundaries set in place me and her love the lord and this could be a door opening moment
Josh T make sure you base your relationship on Jesus in very practical ways, such as - - 1. being in some way accountable to an older couple in the Lord who have a good and stable walk with Jesus, asking them to pray for you, and giving them permission to ask you both how things are going. 2. spend time before you date on committing your ways and activities to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. 3. spend time in God's word together and take time to discuss it when travelling here or there. Make Jesus the centrepiece for every date, not just on sundays. 4. ask each other how their own walk with the Lord is going, and pray earnestly for one another daily. If you build yoru relationship firmly in this way, then you will have a good start if the Lord leads you into marriage. Build up your spirits in the faith of Jesus so that you are better equipped to rule over the lusts of eye and flesh and all that is in the world - 1 John 2:14-19; Genesis 4:7.
Brilliant video Mark. You always have a more spiritual insight into the ACTUAL scripture as opposed to dogmatic literal interpretation. Amazing stuff. Like all your videos.
He is checking all the boxes. Except he lost vision for his own life due to trauma and just ungodly soulties. I decided to pause contact until he figured out things for himself. Not quite sure if he thinks he still has a chance. Told him, I love him and that I would wait but it surely feels as if I am offering my Isaac to God. I receive strength from the fact, that God can raise anything from the dead. And if it's not meant, I am safe in God anyways. He is my eternal bridegroom. And his very very good regardless of my feelings of discouragement and doubt. He makes everything perfect.
My relationship is bad I'm sad because I feel like I can't serve God for him I mean he is not helping me come closer to God 🙏 I feel like he is a hindering spirit and a blocking spirit
So, im getting to know someone, he is christian and we've been talking/ getting to know each other for like 3 months and for many reasons i feel like he is "the one" God has for me (but im not sure), but he has some insecurities about not been succesful and not been able to provide like a good future for us if this gets any farther, cause he isnt studying at college and at his work he doesnt win enough, so he thinks he is a failure, and now those insecurities are getting to me as well, of having a future, a family, being able to provide to them and all those things... and i dont even know what to do😪
If you’re a practicing of prayer, reading of the Bible and a fasting Christian you’re sensitive to the Holy Spirit and can sense when GOD is speaking to you otherwise you’ll be confused by the lukewarm fleshy Christians and. Ant see the blessing HE has for you as dating/marrying your future other half!!!!!!!
🙏“Padre, sé que he violado tus leyes y mis pecados me han separado de ti. Realmente lo siento, y ahora quiero alejarme de mi vida pecaminosa pasada hacia ti. Perdóname y ayúdame a evitar volver a pecar. Creo que su hijo, Jesucristo, murió por mis pecados, resucitó de entre los muertos, está vivo y escucha mi oración. Invito a Jesús a convertirse en el Señor de mi vida, a gobernar y reinar en mi corazón desde este día en adelante. Por favor envía tu Espíritu Santo para ayudarme a obedecerte y hacer tu voluntad por el resto de mi vida. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén "
I know now and I agree with all of the signs i know the man i want in my life and I can choose him based off what kinds of things will he do that helps me grow or is stretching me in Healthy ways
I waited 8 years and wasn't looking. Even moved. Moved back because he said will do what it takes.i helped him build , physically build what was suppose to be our home. He started acting strange and we broke up. He wouldn't communicate. But I keep hoping he will wake up and contact me and pour his heart out to me. But he never does. Do I let go and move on?
Watch and listen for their desire for God. Are they really seeking God? Do they love Jesus? Do they want to live a godly life? Do they have a relationship with Jesus Christ?
lol @ my age I'm not looking just to date. #5 is the key one for me. My last 2 realtionship , 1 from church definitely bought me closer to God - I was on my knees more. But I knew in my heart that how is this You God? Now I am going forward what God has called me to do not look for her. When God is ready He will send her into my life
What if the signs were there at the beginning and "confirmed" someone being the one, but then as time went on, these signs were not there and the other person began not seeking the Lord, wanting to go to church, and falling back into old sin without remorse or effort spiritually? Should that be enough to confirm that they are no longer the one or never were?
Yes. The direction is always towards God, not away from him. Some people can keep up an act for 90 days or so, then revert back to old ways. Allow time to reveal the true character of a person.
I feel God's presence with Michele. But I've seen a lot of let go videos and we're both faithful Christians and we've been saved. BUT I feel like with the videos and my gut that God is pressing and trying to FORCE me to breakup with her. I'm scared and we both have desire God first and neither one of us are begging. We don't wanna separate. Should we
What advice can you give in dating when the person that's in love with you has addictions"pills" but is trying to get closer to God. Is it a bad idea to try to stick it out and continue to grow with God? I'm newly renewed and saved in my faith.
Hi Darlene Bris, i would say in most cases it is not wise to date someone going through that. You may become an enabler too. Also, this person should be solely focused on recovery. Once he is sober then perhaps getting back together is the right move. But you don't want to wait for someone like this too long bc it could be a never ending addiction. It just depends on the situation.
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger thanks so much my gut feeling was telling me that but I didn't know if I was wrong for judging since we all have sins. But it makes sense. Thanks again
As a recovered addict, I would advise you to maybe date at a distance (like not super often, kinda casually), make clear boundaries and learn all you can about manipulation tactics, pray for them often, and let them know in a loving and understanding way that this problem is keeping you from getting closer. Explain why it is bad without being judgey. (They will probably feel defensive so make sure they understand you care and it’s not an attack.) Maybe if they show no effort to make a change (ONGOING effort...hence manipulation...easy to appear to want to change to get the other person not to leave or whatever then go right back) then have another talk with them and let them know you really like them but you feel you cannot be with them at this time. Let them know that you hope they can conquer the addiction and you’ll be praying for them and would love to see them again when they have sought God’s help and healing on that. We do get better, but often not until we lose someone or some bad event happens. It’s possible that they will without you having to leave, even that you could be the one to help push them to it. It’s possible. More likely is the pain of you leaving them would wake them up to how bad the problem is.
I don’t feel free to talk about Jesus or my relationship with Christ with this person but he talks freely and comfortably about sexual stuff and he is a Christian he says. I’m often confused if this man is the one.
When watching some of ur videos I feel am in right relationship..but this one am confused ..whether to think of immediate future or not ..bcz in immediate future we will be seperated by distance in terms of our job..hope we could immensely love our Jesus with each other ...thanks for ur guidance
Praise the lord brother!! Is it not healthy relationship if she wants to be a missionary and I am still studying hospitality but I told where you go I will go and support you and I will always support you no matter what the situation is!! But she does not really want to continue this relationship because she has a calling to be a missionary and I am not!!
This is a very good advice esp fr introverted like me. Tell us how to find the one for an introvert person too who is strong in his relationship with God./ a good christian. Esp like in my circle..a christian guy quite hard to make move on us although we have some the chemistry. When both people are too scared to make move it hurts and sometimes we just ignored it. And one im too confused also they keep asking God whether are /thatperson is the chosen one God choose for him or her. Thats what i feel is happening in my churchcircle including among the young adults😧
Thank you always for the work you put into the ministry God has called you to do. What if she believes that women can preach and lead over men and I disagree with her on that? I dont wanna start an argument on wether or not a woman should preach and lead in church. Rather that we have that essential disagreement even if I am wrong and she is right about it. The question is, is it God's will even with this type of disagreement? is the yoke truly equal? thanks God Bless
I really like you said with #5 and still like to grow in this issue and since I'm 40 years old and I still need help with this what should I do as a Christian man like myself with a disability
Thank you. This is much appreciated. But what happens when... you feel you had all these signs in the relationship, but they still broke up with you? :(
If it doesn't work then it wasn't God's will for you. I know this is a year late but don't give up. Keep praying to God that he will reveal to you the one you're meant to be with and give you a unique feeling you never had with any other relationship before. God bless you and keep you :)
@@mahtavaupea1445 Thank you, Mahtava. I don't think your reply was too late lol. It's a nice seal of confirmation for everything I've come to learn and accept during the year in between. I felt awful at the time, but now I can honestly say the words you've shared ring true.
He's a new Christian and accepted Christ at church when we were friends then two weeks later he asked me to be his girlfriend... sometimes work or his family has stopped him from coming to church. Aty Lifrgroup he thourght that the people don't like him and he felt uncomfortable. How do I know where he stands with God? I bought him a devotional daily book and he has been reading slot of it... how do I know? its awarkward as he is a really nice guy... I'm nervous... we have both had a really busy week and worked late and have not seen eachother in 5 days.
Just take your time. That's the point of dating. YOu will find answers through dating. Once you get more evidence for where he stands with God and how you two fit together, then you will be at peace to know what you need to do
God has been correcting me... Through my mom and spiritual mom and also the Bible - Holy Spirit and curch sermons.... was showing me to stop being so pushy as I was being super pushy and bossy and forceful about church and spiritual life... I have decided to be more patient and pray for growth and not force him too.... He has been surprising me and talking about his prayer life and church and relationship with God so that's great as last week I was so super anxious about it and the enemy was using that a lot...
Ineed your help .i got married to this guy at a young age of 14 we gave birth to three kids .is thre a chance that he is not the right one because when it comes spiritual things we have no communication between us .could it be that am with a wrong person??
O Evangelho: 💜💕💜💖💞💜💕Pelo que recebi, passei a vocês como de [primeira importância]: que Cristo morreu pelos nossos pecados segundo as Escrituras, que foi sepultado, que ressuscitou ao terceiro dia de acordo com as Escrituras, e que ele apareceu a Pedro e depois aos Doze. Depois disso, ele apareceu para mais de quinhentos irmãos e irmãs ao mesmo tempo,
I don't need someone to help me get closer to God but sometimes I get tired and need help but he is talking me away from good I'm do mad at myself he is the 😈
Mark what if that man or woman that you might be dating has a positive view and are willing to hear or more than willing to pray at dinner or are very open to it..willing to know more
Hello, i am in a new Christian relationship and you will find you will naturally beable to build each other up in God and will have the same values in your relationship to honour God. Be completely honest to any potiential partner. God bless
please Mark. I got married to a man when we were not born again and so we had sexual inter course when we meet. I didn't seek God whole hearted because I felt I was in love with him despite all advice. 3years down the line after receiving a lots of verbal abuses without giving up, now I became born again, I began to feel I don't have a future with this man. He won't leave me either. What do I do?
Asking God about this person BEFORE entering into a relationship. Not every Christian person is suited to be with you. The Lord knows best and taking it up in prayer is definitely the best choice.
I wholeheartedly agree. Whenever I didn't pray I ended up in horrific relationships. Abusive & demonic liasons.
The signs
1.If the relationship is helping and hurting your relationship with God
2. If you feel closer to God when you're with that person. Basically When you're with someone god bless you to be with !
3.when you feel free to be yourself and not pressure to be someone you're not!
4.if the relationship is stretching you in healthy ways
5.if you can see a healthy future /ministry with that person
Nice summary!
if you don't see that should you end it?
Codelingo hey I saw your question I don't know if I'm qualified to answer this question but when I was in a relationship which was year ago! I dated this guy for 8 months but there were a lot of things that weren't working even though we tried and we kept having red flags but we decided to move forward. Which was not good! But with this video these are good sign to know if you're in a good path relational wise. The last sign (#5) is vital because what God plans to do between you and your future spouse is important. You want to equally yoked to do Gods work together! This amazing guy I met say something very important to me is that God will is what he wants for his life. God will speak to you and show you his will for your life! Even if that means ending that relationship!
Side note the day before that relationship ended I ask god if he didn't want us to be together to end it. The next day the guy ended it !
Remember it may hurt but God heals and restore I know I'm someone future wife But have to keep growing and planting myself in Gods word! You must have patiences
If he care for the birds and flowers he'll care for you ! So don't worry!
My favorite saying/verse
The best is yet to come 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Thank you..... And thank you @applygodsword as well all this info helps me at this moment 😁
👍
Deep joy and deep peace in a relationship that i can openly talk about my love for jesus is what i pray i hope i find. Good tips
Amen Mary
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger my thoughts exactly!🙏🏽🙌🏽
That's the problem now people aren't openly taking about Jesus and their Faith in the Lord
same.
Feel like these signs can also apply to Christian friendships
👍
friendship is the first form of love..
@Tyler Gibson so true
Both my girlfriend and I got 5/5 on this! Wow moment! That being said we will still continue to trust God's leading in our relationship. I believe this is really good advice though! Blessed by your channel!
YT family. I have found a Godly women who checks all of these boxes. Please pray for us to keep doing Gods work and keep building a love built on Christ! Her name is Gabriella and my name is Stephen. Love you all!!!
LOL Everytime I watch I'm like "CONFIRMATION"!!!
Amen Queen SAAvY, so glad the Lord is speaking to you through this channel :)
me too
Same here!! Even though we aren't together yet but I know we will be
Believers should be equally yoked with believers!! Not non-believers!!
I started dating my bf about two years ago. We have had many hard times and he exposed my unhealed wounds challenging me to face them head on. Hope it’s a good sign for us.💗🌸💞🦋
I’m 36 yet I feel so disappointed in myself. 😞 I’m just starting to walk with Jesus and I feel like I’m here walking alone. I am talking to someone online that seems to be a follower of Jesus but because of a lot of bad relationships I feel like I have to hide a lot about myself when I really just want to tell the person this is who I am, this is what I want and I want to include Jesus in every conversation. I spent 6 years in a relationship and it made it so much harder to connect with God. I’ve also let God know that I want to get married, have kids, be a missionary, help out my community, join a church, etc.
Mariah, don't ever feel disappointed in yourself for anything. This walk with Christ is never easy but one thing that devil will make you feel is that you're alone and you're not. Please don't be afraid that you had bad relationships in the past you feel you have to hide yourself. Never limit yourself because of those bad experiences, and Im sorry you went through them. Talk to the person you're talking to about what you would like to share because you should be free to tell them who you are because you are Very unique and valuable. God knows the desires of your heart and work with him and he will grant them to you in his perfect timing. I wont hold much more of your time but tell you there's going to be someone who will love you and appreciate you for you. If this person isn't the one, just know Jesus has better for you sis. God bless you sis. Stay strong and encouraged in Jesus :)
Being older I am very cautious. I have been alone for a long time. I am independent and I have no problem with a potential partner being the same. I refuse to be controlled and manipulated. Everyone including Christians need to watch out for this. Don't want anyone to go through what I did.
I feel you, been their done that !
Really wise words! Your videos have been helping me especially now that I’m getting to closer to my good friend from church, and our friendship is leading up to be more than just a friendship, like you said in this video I feel a great peace when I pray about him to God.☺️ And through your videos I have come to understand what it is to be in a Christian relationship and putting God first above all else. So thank you for talking about these subjects! Please continue to make more!
Amen, you want to be at peace about relationships when they are from the Lord. So glad to hear that God has been using this channel to bless you. Thanks for sharing :)
Nice job!!!
Iam 18. Never been in a relationship. (Mostly becouse i knew i wasnt ready for this) But God has called me to be an overseas missionary. So I wonder if i will ever get married due to the difficulty of my calling. But i keep what you say in my heart just in case. Thanks
Amen Silvanus, i met my wife on the mission field :) I talk about that experience here th-cam.com/video/rGq_7IfO42s/w-d-xo.html
Silvanus Rempel I commend your fight for God. Keep up the good work man! I know God is going to take you far !!!
Silvanus Rempel Depending on the ministry, some agencies would prefer married missionaries. That is because it is believed their focus would be better and they would be less likely to commit sexual sin.
Just something to think about.

Thanks
Love Beyond The Sea
Thanks i will keep that in mind
I enjoy your practical application of God's word. You have a gifting in translating God's word/concepts in the bible in a relatable way that makes it easy to practice.
I'm so glad you find the videos helpful! God bless!
Thank you - God is putting us through something. The best I can figure is it’s our time of discernment. May God continue to bless you and your ministry
May the Lord bless you too!
Amen to point 5... The most amazing thing that a person seek a partner supporting a full time ministry ... Cause at the end of the day it's the great commission of Matthew 28 we are to keep.. :)
I’m 17 and have been dating the same girl for the past three -ish- years. It can be difficult at times to know just how serious to take our relationship. We’re both working on finding work, I’m working on getting my license, and we’re still only 17. But at the same time, we’ve known each other for practically our entire lives, we go on mission trips with each other (and our youth group) every summer, we both love God, and we can definitely see an awesome future together. She’s expressed that she’s eager to support me in whatever God’s called me to do, I plan on going into Deaf ministry, becoming a licensed interpreter, and getting teaching credentials. She’s strong in her faith and has a amazing love for the Lord.
My worry is that I’m still uncertain if this is what I need to be doing or that I’m just worrying too much.
Your video about making sure your intimacy levels are the same as your comment levels raised quite a few questions for me. Namely, what’s a good way to know how committed you are to a person? What’s a good way to tell?
Did you two marry?
Thank you brother, I've felt the Holy Spirit spoke to me thru you. God bless you.
Hehe I bought the book 👌🏾 Literally waited to finish all my assignments for the year (finish today) so I can read. Thanks Mark, GOD bless you!
Hi IndianaJosephine, I hope the books is helpful! God bless :)
Hi, God BLESS You :), i want You to know that it does 3 sixes :)
Hello Mark I would love to thank you for this video according to Christian teaching we are taught to pray for partners n been praying for a partner n the qualities I want in my future husband. And here comes a guy he z interested in me n wants marriage so I tell him u know the Christian ways to pray to God to give us confirmations or signs to prove whether we r meant for each other or it's God's will for us to be together. We have been having prayer and fasting about us but God is not speaking anything to both of us. So the time I was interacting with him I liked him and fell in love with him so we are in a relationship n courtship the time I have been with him he has all the qualities I wanted in my future husband I feel at peace and comfortable with or around him. Infact Wat u said in your video I see them too cause he loves God we pray together he encourages me spiritually he rebukes he supports ministries within me I feel it that he is the right man for me my instincts tells me he is my husband but the problem he wants God to speak to me or him whether in a dream vision or hear his voice he wants us to do God's will but not our own will. So Wat advice do u give me I need a counseling about this cause he truely loves me and I love him too but God hasn't spoken to us yet please need help
Thanks God bless you as you help me
Excellent guide to follow, whether you are wanting to meet someone or are already getting to know that person.
Amen Rose Morales, thanks for sharing :)
Very good brother, your a wise young man!
Unfortunately I got 5 crosses plus many more, I made a very big mistake marriaging my wife, I was a young Christian and believed God was steering me towards her, now after 7+ year of praying and trying to make it work.... I can now look back and see that God was trying to steer me away!
Moved way to fast if only I was more patient and mature in my walk and waited I would have seen she wasn’t for me!
Move slowly take your time let God show you!
Lesson learnt thank you Jesus.... forgive me ☺️
Blessings!😊
I know you talked briefly about how difficult times in a relationship does not always mean that it's the wrong relationship. Can you maybe make a video that goes more in depth about this topic and about your personal experiences? What were the challenges that you had to go through and how you and Bethany overcame them? I know a big issue for me is that at the first sight of a problem/conflict, my immediate reaction/response is to run and not work through it because it's too hard. I base it a lot off of feelings and not logic. Meaning, I believe I'm in the wrong relationship because it's not easy at all times. I would like to hear and understand how to better cope with this, if possible. Thank you!
I discuss some of the struggles we experienced in dating in this video. th-cam.com/video/rGq_7IfO42s/w-d-xo.html
But hopefully we can do a video on this together some day. Great suggestion!
Yes I really want to hear that too, I was about to say the same thing I think we’re on the same page Renee .
My boyfriend quarrels over simple things and most of the time we don’t finish our conversations without quarrying. I don’t know if he is the right one for me or maybe things will change . Mark what do you suggest?
Hi it's the same way with me as well... It's sometimes so hard that we don't know sometime whever God is with us of not... You use to always argue every time and this is becoming so unpeaceful...
But when i remembered the dream i had about us about what God shown me I'm like should i continu to trust or just give up
Renee Fries
I used to be a person who would easily run from difficulties; this is what both of my parents did in their own way. So I had that as an example
For many years in my marriage of 41 years (wife has now gone to be with Jesus), I was very insecure, and self centred even though I wanted to be Christ-centered and earnestly desreid to be like Him.
I was very backward to develope any brotherly relationships with godly men, so as to pray together and help each other in life's journey.
This was all born out of fear, fear of losing something precious; fear of failing; fear of losing face, and so on. This kind of attitude flowed out into the broader family of God, and it did cause some problems.
But back in my early years of marriage I was made aware of the need to ask the Lord to 'Change ME!' - not change my wife so much as I had been earnestly praying.
Today I still pray on that line - which is very scriptural.
Slowly I began to see changes as the years passed by. I had so much to learn and still have.
Now I am more willing to talk things through on many levels, and less willing to run.
I would recommend that you put the suggestion out to your man 'could we pray together about this?' and then pray that he will join in prayer for the matter/s at hand, and include reading Scripture together... on the knees can help.
Then commend your man for taking the lead in the matter, and ask if 'can we do it again'?
Also, human love does and will fail no matter how noble and virtuous it is. But God's love will not fail - there is never a drought or famine of the supply of God's love. Ask God to fill you with His love for your man.
If you are no married and simply dating, and if he is not willing to pray and read Scripture with you, then perhaps you need to re evaluate your relationship.
If you are married, pray and pray and pray till God gives you 'both' a breakthrough, and pray to maintain it - pray without ceasing, with many thanksgivings.
@@eunicebatchy8008 I've seen that the Lord spoke to you upfront concerning your future marriage (dream). Did everything unfold as you expected?
I dreamt about us too, 5 months ago. It was unique and spontaneous but leading. After sensing that it was likely a sign for us I began to pray and give little shots ( which I'm still doing) but it's rough, really rough. We haven't made it to the first date yet but we are in touch, chatting!
How are rhe state of things now
you know when is the right person, becouse every pain every hurting.. disappear with that person..
(it May be the same person who has hurt you the most in the past)
THAT'S THE ONE FOR YOU
(the more the devil want to. separate the more he attacks, temptation.. humiliation.. just name them)
THE MORE HE ATTACKS THE MORE YOUR DESIRE FOR THIS PERSON!!
(the more you hate your enemy.. the more you crazy love him🔥)
Another great one, brother. By no means an all-inclusive "litmus test" (is there such a thing? lol), but it does stress 5 of the most important, Biblically-sound, and practical connection points and fruit indicators! If these 5 are there, it's very likely the other things will be falling into place as the Lord leads and the two people grow together. Likewise, if these aren't present, the other things won't make much difference in living out a relationship that truly honors God and is to be: spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically healthy for both people involved. God Bless!
Well said AlphaMega Radio Channel!
💯💯💯💯💯
Amen
He speaks truth , amazing God Bless...
God bless brother :)
recently i met a woman that was christian and u believe in god and I'm not religous necessarily but i have christian values of course raised that way and she is almost 27 I'm 19 I'm a virgin i never looked for love but then one day i just met her she wasn't what i expected i have become a better person we tried to be just friends I'm an ambivert and she is an introvert and i tried texting her that was a first asking her if she had feelings cause she definitely was she showed it but she said she found me funny and interesting and she said she was seeing someone and i said good to know she asked if i want to be friends i said i try to be friends with everybody we both have a bad past and what pushed us away was the fear that we were being manipulated i told her I'm scared she was manipulating me and she showed her fear that i was manipulating her we are still nice to each other but this experience i told her to keep her distance and we both need time this experience has helped me grow me and her are so alike yet so distant because we were both scared of love i am more honest and straightforward but I'm not as physically loving as i used to be this feeling of love truly wanting to be with her she said you can't force a conversation and i said you can't resist it either i told her I'm not leaving you you will have to push me away and we tore down walls that we both had she was more physically loving and compassionate i believe as in she is more willing of intimacy in the physical sense while i am more open to intimacy in the physical sense i found myself continuing to ask where is this going are we friends she is hinting at dates etc. but when we stopped and blocked each other we said no hard feelings but i did confess my feelings for her she never did exactly confess her feelings she didn't want to open up we were using each other's lingo finishing each other's sentences when we just met it was a few days and I can't help but ever since i met this female she is the most beautiful girl ever to me when before that would not have been the case ever since she choose to sit close to me and be so nice too me i even said she was to nice she brought out this lovey dovey side in me this love side in me again she didn't want to talk about her past i usually speak what's on my mind i try to be be grateful for challenges in life but i know this is no coincidence that we met we met to tear down each other's walls that were guarding our hearts i have come closer to god and in this season of waiting i am at peace i will do my best i know the next opportunity i get to make up and say hey we both were pretty insecure and just let it go from there the devil was keeping us from love scaring us away i believe i told her I'm not in your league i will make you in my leage she understood but then i backpedaled and said i can live without you i don't plan to pursue these feelings it just happened but we got into arguments over the dumbest things we have let our fear consume us but in two weeks at least i will see her again if god wants it to be so that moment i will know my move
1. Helping not hurting our walk with God.
2. Feel closer to God when with that person.
3. Feel freer to be yourself not pressured.
4. If relationship is stretching us in a healthy way - in ways that needed to be stretched- to grow better.
5. See a Healthy future Christian and fruitful ministry with this person.
Thank you Mark 😊😊
I see some good signs about This girl I’m dating right now! I know me and her are 19 so we have a lot of time and I already see good things we want to start dating this January possibly but not taking it to far having Boundaries set in place me and her love the lord and this could be a door opening moment
Nice!
Josh T
make sure you base your relationship on Jesus in very practical ways, such as - - 1. being in some way accountable to an older couple in the Lord who have a good and stable walk with Jesus, asking them to pray for you, and giving them permission to ask you both how things are going.
2. spend time before you date on committing your ways and activities to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
3. spend time in God's word together and take time to discuss it when travelling here or there. Make Jesus the centrepiece for every date, not just on sundays.
4. ask each other how their own walk with the Lord is going, and pray earnestly for one another daily.
If you build yoru relationship firmly in this way, then you will have a good start if the Lord leads you into marriage.
Build up your spirits in the faith of Jesus so that you are better equipped to rule over the lusts of eye and flesh and all that is in the world - 1 John 2:14-19; Genesis 4:7.
Brilliant video Mark. You always have a more spiritual insight into the ACTUAL scripture as opposed to dogmatic literal interpretation. Amazing stuff. Like all your videos.
I like that you offer reasonable advice as well as you have a clear understanding of the entire Bible. Impressive
Mmmmm that was a real good point you made. When you said sometimes we feel that it will be easy when it is God.
He is checking all the boxes. Except he lost vision for his own life due to trauma and just ungodly soulties. I decided to pause contact until he figured out things for himself. Not quite sure if he thinks he still has a chance. Told him, I love him and that I would wait but it surely feels as if I am offering my Isaac to God. I receive strength from the fact, that God can raise anything from the dead. And if it's not meant, I am safe in God anyways. He is my eternal bridegroom. And his very very good regardless of my feelings of discouragement and doubt. He makes everything perfect.
My relationship is bad I'm sad because I feel like I can't serve God for him I mean he is not helping me come closer to God 🙏 I feel like he is a hindering spirit and a blocking spirit
Flee!!!!! Don’t look back....
@@stephanyaleshire9252 are you involved in witchcrafts, because you mentioned a lot of spirits .
This video was really helpful. Thank you!
My pleasure!
God bless you Mark 🙏
God I pray you reveal who you want me to marry in who is going to be that man that's I"m meant to be with 🙏🏼💛
Thoroughly enjoyed this.I video as it reflects my current relationship. Point by point.
Amazing how on point these videos are! Holy Spirit inspired! Bless you, Mark!
I receive this message! OMG #4&5 yes !🙌🏾
And here goes Mark on time!
Very good! Glory to God!
So, im getting to know someone, he is christian and we've been talking/ getting to know each other for like 3 months and for many reasons i feel like he is "the one" God has for me (but im not sure), but he has some insecurities about not been succesful and not been able to provide like a good future for us if this gets any farther, cause he isnt studying at college and at his work he doesnt win enough, so he thinks he is a failure, and now those insecurities are getting to me as well, of having a future, a family, being able to provide to them and all those things... and i dont even know what to do😪
I think with his finances with time u guys can pray for a better earning job...
@@sekyiama5930 thank you so much❤ i really needed to hear an advice
Yarlin Herrera..... Most great men start small... Pls keep encouraging him with time things would change for the better..... Thank u too
If you’re a practicing of prayer, reading of the Bible and a fasting Christian you’re sensitive to the Holy Spirit and can sense when GOD is speaking to you otherwise you’ll be confused by the lukewarm fleshy Christians and. Ant see the blessing HE has for you as dating/marrying your future other half!!!!!!!
Thank you for the confirmation. I really enjoyed this.
🙏“Padre, sé que he violado tus leyes y mis pecados me han separado de ti. Realmente lo siento, y ahora quiero alejarme de mi vida pecaminosa pasada hacia ti. Perdóname y ayúdame a evitar volver a pecar. Creo que su hijo, Jesucristo, murió por mis pecados, resucitó de entre los muertos, está vivo y escucha mi oración. Invito a Jesús a convertirse en el Señor de mi vida, a gobernar y reinar en mi corazón desde este día en adelante. Por favor envía tu Espíritu Santo para ayudarme a obedecerte y hacer tu voluntad por el resto de mi vida. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén "
Extremely helpful and clear.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I know now and I agree with all of the signs i know the man i want in my life and I can choose him based off what kinds of things will he do that helps me grow or is stretching me in Healthy ways
God bless!
I waited 8 years and wasn't looking. Even moved. Moved back because he said will do what it takes.i helped him build , physically build what was suppose to be our home. He started acting strange and we broke up. He wouldn't communicate. But I keep hoping he will wake up and contact me and pour his heart out to me. But he never does. Do I let go and move on?
Wise words. and teaching. Thank you Brother Mark..💒
I’m
So bless in this video 🙏🏼
So glad it was helpful :)
Watch and listen for their desire for God. Are they really seeking God? Do they love Jesus? Do they want to live a godly life? Do they have a relationship with Jesus Christ?
Excellent and helpfully video.May God continue blessings you in different ways.
Thanks Margie Hernandez, may the Lord continue to bless you as well :)
Such a blessing to hear this message. Thank you.
Always good advice. Thank you.
lol @ my age I'm not looking just to date. #5 is the key one for me.
My last 2 realtionship , 1 from church definitely bought me closer to God - I was on my knees more. But I knew in my heart that how is this You God? Now I am going forward what God has called me to do not look for her. When God is ready He will send her into my life
Amen!!!!!! So true..u wud want to be wd someone who wud challenge you
Wow! So true....God bless you Mark
Amén. I praise the LORD 🙏.
Mark, I Love your Channel and you are doing an Amazing work!
How do you deal with cultural differences when the person God has for you comes from a different culture than yours????
What if the signs were there at the beginning and "confirmed" someone being the one, but then as time went on, these signs were not there and the other person began not seeking the Lord, wanting to go to church, and falling back into old sin without remorse or effort spiritually? Should that be enough to confirm that they are no longer the one or never were?
Yes. The direction is always towards God, not away from him. Some people can keep up an act for 90 days or so, then revert back to old ways. Allow time to reveal the true character of a person.
Thanks a lot very good. Blessing to you and your family.
It’s helping
Feel peaceful
All of the things said here apply to the one that I love. Thank God & please forgive me, I’m sorry it took me a while to get it 🙏🙏🙏
Another amazing vid, Mark. Thank you.
Blessed Guy indeed keep up God bless you
Wow sounds like me and my friend we argue like a married couple wow 😯 this is really interesting...
Are u just 13 year old kid 😂😂
Your videos are great.. countless blessings Im on it. Thank you
Thanks GOD am in right Christian relationship
I feel God's presence with Michele. But I've seen a lot of let go videos and we're both faithful Christians and we've been saved. BUT I feel like with the videos and my gut that God is pressing and trying to FORCE me to breakup with her. I'm scared and we both have desire God first and neither one of us are begging. We don't wanna separate. Should we
What advice can you give in dating when the person that's in love with you has addictions"pills" but is trying to get closer to God. Is it a bad idea to try to stick it out and continue to grow with God? I'm newly renewed and saved in my faith.
Hi Darlene Bris, i would say in most cases it is not wise to date someone going through that. You may become an enabler too. Also, this person should be solely focused on recovery. Once he is sober then perhaps getting back together is the right move. But you don't want to wait for someone like this too long bc it could be a never ending addiction. It just depends on the situation.
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger thanks so much my gut feeling was telling me that but I didn't know if I was wrong for judging since we all have sins. But it makes sense. Thanks again
Sure! God bless :)
As a recovered addict, I would advise you to maybe date at a distance (like not super often, kinda casually), make clear boundaries and learn all you can about manipulation tactics, pray for them often, and let them know in a loving and understanding way that this problem is keeping you from getting closer. Explain why it is bad without being judgey. (They will probably feel defensive so make sure they understand you care and it’s not an attack.)
Maybe if they show no effort to make a change (ONGOING effort...hence manipulation...easy to appear to want to change to get the other person not to leave or whatever then go right back) then have another talk with them and let them know you really like them but you feel you cannot be with them at this time. Let them know that you hope they can conquer the addiction and you’ll be praying for them and would love to see them again when they have sought God’s help and healing on that.
We do get better, but often not until we lose someone or some bad event happens. It’s possible that they will without you having to leave, even that you could be the one to help push them to it. It’s possible. More likely is the pain of you leaving them would wake them up to how bad the problem is.
Annnd I did not notice this was 2 months ago, so this might not even be helpful lol
very good Mark! i need to checkout ur book the one. i think i need a wife that wants to be ready for the end times with me.
That's exactly what's on my mind as well. Definitely do not want to be with someone who compromises easily and without remorse.
right battleaxe Sam. same here. God knows.
I feel so happy when I'm alone and not around him he is do toxic and crazy
I don’t feel free to talk about Jesus or my relationship with Christ with this person but he talks freely and comfortably about sexual stuff and he is a Christian he says. I’m often confused if this man is the one.
Lol. Def a LOT of growing pains. We shall see. So far so good-but def the pains of growth. 🤔
When watching some of ur videos I feel am in right relationship..but this one am confused ..whether to think of immediate future or not ..bcz in immediate future we will be seperated by distance in terms of our job..hope we could immensely love our Jesus with each other ...thanks for ur guidance
Praise the lord brother!!
Is it not healthy relationship if she wants to be a missionary and I am still studying hospitality but I told where you go I will go and support you and I will always support you no matter what the situation is!!
But she does not really want to continue this relationship because she has a calling to be a missionary and I am not!!
Thanks for this teaching!
My pleasure!
This is a very good advice esp fr introverted like me. Tell us how to find the one for an introvert person too who is strong in his relationship with God./ a good christian. Esp like in my circle..a christian guy quite hard to make move on us although we have some the chemistry. When both people are too scared to make move it hurts and sometimes we just ignored it. And one im too confused also they keep asking God whether are /thatperson is the chosen one God choose for him or her. Thats what i feel is happening in my churchcircle including among the young adults😧
Another great video thank you so much 😇
👍
Thank you always for the work you put into the ministry God has called you to do.
What if she believes that women can preach and lead over men and I disagree with her on that? I dont wanna start an argument on wether or not a woman should preach and lead in church. Rather that we have that essential disagreement even if I am wrong and she is right about it. The question is, is it God's will even with this type of disagreement? is the yoke truly equal? thanks God Bless
You're awesome!!!
Thanks for encouragement! God bless :)
I really like you said with #5 and still like to grow in this issue and since I'm 40 years old and I still need help with this what should I do as a Christian man like myself with a disability
mark have you seen the chosen series my co-worker at the church got me into it
yes, I've watched some :)
Thank you. This is much appreciated. But what happens when... you feel you had all these signs in the relationship, but they still broke up with you? :(
If it doesn't work then it wasn't God's will for you. I know this is a year late but don't give up. Keep praying to God that he will reveal to you the one you're meant to be with and give you a unique feeling you never had with any other relationship before. God bless you and keep you :)
@@mahtavaupea1445 Thank you, Mahtava. I don't think your reply was too late lol. It's a nice seal of confirmation for everything I've come to learn and accept during the year in between. I felt awful at the time, but now I can honestly say the words you've shared ring true.
@@abigailsim734 Yes my friend. Keep your head high and your faith up because God will work it out for your own Good ;)
He's a new Christian and accepted Christ at church when we were friends then two weeks later he asked me to be his girlfriend... sometimes work or his family has stopped him from coming to church. Aty Lifrgroup he thourght that the people don't like him and he felt uncomfortable. How do I know where he stands with God? I bought him a devotional daily book and he has been reading slot of it...
how do I know? its awarkward as he is a really nice guy...
I'm nervous...
we have both had a really busy week and worked late and have not seen eachother in 5 days.
Just take your time. That's the point of dating. YOu will find answers through dating. Once you get more evidence for where he stands with God and how you two fit together, then you will be at peace to know what you need to do
God has been correcting me... Through my mom and spiritual mom and also the Bible - Holy Spirit and curch sermons.... was showing me to stop being so pushy as I was being super pushy and bossy and forceful about church and spiritual life... I have decided to be more patient and pray for growth and not force him too.... He has been surprising me and talking about his prayer life and church and relationship with God so that's great as last week I was so super anxious about it and the enemy was using that a lot...
Awesome!!! thank You so much
Ineed your help .i got married to this guy at a young age of 14 we gave birth to three kids .is thre a chance that he is not the right one because when it comes spiritual things we have no communication between us .could it be that am with a wrong person??

Thank you so much for your Video. It helped me a lot.
☺
Please brother Mark , can you give me the link to get this book.
Thank you
I don't need someone to help me get closer to God but sometimes I get tired and need help but he is talking me away from good I'm do mad at myself he is the 😈
Mark what if that man or woman that you might be dating has a positive view and are willing to hear or more than willing to pray at dinner or are very open to it..willing to know more
Amen Amen!
But what if I was just the one who is thinking this?. How will i know if he's/she's thinking the same?
Hello, i am in a new Christian relationship and you will find you will naturally beable to build each other up in God and will have the same values in your relationship to honour God. Be completely honest to any potiential partner. God bless
Thank you sir for this video, it reminds me a lot!
please Mark. I got married to a man when we were not born again and so we had sexual inter course when we meet. I didn't seek God whole hearted because I felt I was in love with him despite all advice. 3years down the line after receiving a lots of verbal abuses without giving up, now I became born again, I began to feel I don't have a future with this man. He won't leave me either. What do I do?
Pray hard about it and search on the bible what Paul said about wives
What if I’m called to bring my significant other to Christ in the relationship? Does this ever exist?
