Pastor Mark, I am praying about enrolling, but I wanted to know is there a target age range these classes are for? I'm a middle-aged grandma. Is this designed for a younger audience? I have been divorced for 15 years now. The dating relationships I have had since then with other Christians have not been good. I've been to Bible college, and if I'm single until Jesus comes back, I'll be fine, but I always have that notion in the back of my mind that I might be supposed to give it another chance, not leaving any stone unturned. God bless.
Anniedove, there is no age limit. In fact I talk about the different approaches one should try based upon age, so it is meant for all singles who want to be married one day :)
God's been keeping me to himself for nearly two years now, loving this separated time. I understand he needs to shape me, he's really softening my ♥ . I also just realized today that I've been celibate for nearly 5 yrs!
And Me2...Wow.....I'm a new,,better person.....Sanctified,,Cleansed and being Restored....as I look back I can now see the lack of Holiness and Faith....with God is better and I'm not bitter
residue junkie If i may ask, where is that prophesied? When you’re just saying that it seems only as if you’re trying to spread skepticism.. God bless in Jesus name!
Amen. The Lord is always preparing and guiding us. It ain't always the way we want it but his ways are beyond our ways. You're not alone in the ride brother, Peace and Love 🙏
Would God put you through a LONG season of waiting before you can eat or sleep ? Having a romantic relationship is a lot more important than eating or sleeping !
Mark you're starting to scare me now lol. Kidding.😂 Your videos are always right on time. Holy spirit is truly working through you to help others. God bless you❤❤❤
I think God is highlighting my trust, because I was in such a broken relationship with a habitual liar. He lied about small things, like literally he lied about how he got a scar on his head. But anyways I have noticed when just conversing with other guys I can get very triggered and feel like any little thing will make me not want to trust them.
When ISAAC and REBEKAH got married they didnt know each other personally. GOD can connect the spiritual genes between a man and a woman to make them fit perfectly as one in flesh.
I really feel like the future husband God has for me is coming sooner or later thanks through these videos that have just been confirmation after confirmation 🥺❤️
Thank You so much, Mark! You've just said the key concept for today! I've just broken up with sy who didn't have enough faith and didn't believe the Lord saying this thing is for us from Him... And I got super afraid of moving on and maybe experiencing this kind of pain again. I just told the Lord a couple of minutes ago I don't know how to do it. And You said it! Faith. Faith in Him leading me, directing me, loving me and wanting the best for me. In fact this is again a message I received yesterday that this thing that I am going through is because He is willing to give me His best. So just thank You again! God bless You in every way You need it! 😊❤
#1 is on point. Always have sabotaged friendships because of my mental health issues and triggers. I needed a lot of healing and self-forgiveness, and surrounded myself with people who truly understands me.
Thank you for this video, I really needed to hear this. Especially the part about fearing the unknown. Sometimes I worry that I won't meet that person, but this really helped. :)
I checked off all these 3 things it just was a bit surprising. I’ve had God speak many times throughout different things but each time it truly just awes me and surprises me. God is truly incredible
I have insecurities, emotional pain from a past relationship, and traumatic memories from certain events in certain parts of my past I still can not forget about for good and forever and ever.
Yep, #2 was something my ex did to me and didn’t show it until a few months down where anything I did was triggering. It was so toxic, I struggled to get her out of my life until God got involved and I got sick and she didn’t care. That was my exit, and went to straight no-contact and removal of that person. People claim to be spiritually healed but not mentally healed and don’t seek therapy to heal those areas of their past. People, please seek help if you are always getting triggered by the person you say you love. Missing this is unhealthy!
Mark, I can totally relate to the 'ticking time bomb' guy. This goes across the board with everyone, especially autistics. I've got a couple different topics that I have shelved as things I'd rather keep between me and God. Thankfully, He is working with me on them, even though they are extremely sensitive to those areas. There have been a couple different times my folks have tried to approach me about them, but I ultimately shut down the conversation.
Being single is inherently hard, but the hardest part of being single is the social ramifications. I've been praying for God to send me a friend. If I'm meant to be single, I can accept it, though extremely sad, but is God saying no to my request for a friend? My church family is in another country and there aren't good churches where I live.
What a smile....when you said Cleveland Ohio.....I'm from there....Yes God is taking me back to move me forward....I can see that old man and those old ways and the devil tricks and schemes,,,I'm enjoying the new insight and my heart is being Sanctified and cleansed from all the unrighteousness,,,its a new day 4me Every day,,,Blessings and God's love 4u&2u ✌🏽❤
God bless you. Why does it feel like everytime AGW posts a video, it is coordinating when I reach a new level? Haha. God is good. Thank you for allowing God use use you mightily. ❤🙏🏽
This was really good. I know I needed to hear this. I think there are a lot of saved men who would like to not let those triggers hurt them and the people around them. I really appreciate that you said, we all have them in one way or another. I don't think we admit that. I think women have triggers too, but I think we minimize them because they're women. I think that's a disproportionate view in the Body of Christ that leads to disunity. I think a healthy adoption of the view that both men and women struggle with this one way or another, without unwisely exposing one self to potential emotional or physical harm, is a just thing.
Wow this help me thank you God i know God you know who best for me God will bless and ordain me with my husband he has for me one day at the right place and time soon. God always on time. Thank you mark for this great message. God bless everyone.☺🙏👏
LOL!! FINALLY, a video from you that DOESN'T apply to me! WOOHOO! But great one nevertheless. Thank you. I feel GOD is leading me in HIS path just now, and I'm doing my best to follow. Now, if i crash and burn and things don't work out as I see them........at least I will know and will have been obedient. The LORD promised the land to the Israelites, but they did have to fight for it. And nothing worth having comes without effort on our part.
My ex-wife is my trigger, I fall apart whenever I'm near her. I'm moving far away once I graduate from grad school to start my life over somewhere new (like across the world). I believe you only find true love once in a lifetime - that opportunity for me came and went. I'm content with just finding companionship at this point. God had/ has nothing to do with this area of my life - he's made that very clear through leading me into the storm for no good reason.
Super Mario God has a hand in ever aspect of your life, it’s just a matter if you allow Him. He’ll never force Himself, but allows free will. As for having only one true love, this is quite untrue. I used to think this as well. If your heart is hardened, it can make it hard to believe otherwise, but have faith! If this is something you want, take time to give that to God. Our ceiling is His floor. He is a way-maker!
Hello I don’t know you But I went through the same things two years ago This is lie from the devil Proclaim the name of Jesus in your life Believe in the power of Jesus Jesus is over the world he won So grasp his victory in your life You are looking for him You know that you don’t want to think that way if you are asking for help In that sense you are not lost God is taking care of you Open your eyes Open your Bible Pray And rest in God’s presence He will relieve your fears Be blessed whoever you are

Being single/dating christian in 2020 is a challenge in it self, for me im just focusing on God and growth you have to be open to dating/ training and im not this my year to just refocus and grow
Me when I see this video pop up: "I would be okay with not training. Singleness is fine" *Every point describes me* Me "... No seriously it's fine if I'm single forever God, relationships are not for me" 😂
Thanks a lot for the video. I feel like i'm un this stage right now. I Made mistakes in my past with my ex girlfriends but i don't want to make the same mistakes. Can i ask you a questiom.is It posible to fall in love with somebody through Time. There Is this girl ive been getting to know AND she likes me but ive been kind of hesitant to get into a relationship
God 1st.....this has to be yours and hers Relationship 1st or all will fail....seek ye 1st the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness ...... key factor in life
First you love jesus live for him after You have to commit you ex girlfriend god is watching you how many relationships are you maintaining you have to choose best way in Jesus name amen bro
I haven't dated anyone for 10 years because I was saving myself for marriage. I was so strong and doing so good until a couple months ago, I met this guy that I was really attracted to, next thing, we are kissing passionately, he told me he loved me and wanted to be with me. When I told him I was saving sex for marriage, he still hung around, and called, next thing I know, he didn't call at all. I really liked him so I was hurt. I was hoping he would be the one, but... I now realize I was settling because he was also a muslim, he drinks excessively and smokes stuff and cogarettes and doesn't work. I guess I was to tired of waiting and afraid of getting old, I became desperate. I feel so guilty for allowing him to kiss me like that. 😔 😢
I may be young and ill experienced to give advice, but I hope GOD’s doesn’t let you settle for just anyone and HE brings someone worthy of your loyalty, and soon, because the fear of getting old is real Pray for the best for you✨
Hey Mark...do these rules apply to WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS ALSO? I was married 25 years to the most faithful Godly husband Keith.He died 2017 stage 4 cancer.Does God have a BOAZ for me ? I'm in my early 50's.
I have a hard time with this because I don't feel dating is biblical. I don't want to date. I want more of an arranged situation. Listen, if you marry the wrong person, God can save the marriage if two people turn back to him. We don't have to be complicated. Two people whose love is for God first shouldn't overcomplicatw things.
Looking for wisdom from anyone, including Mark! I feel as though God IS preparing me for a season of dating and I had a lot of peace about a specific guy for a few weeks. As I’ve hung out with this guy more and more (in a group setting with a lot of his guy friends), I still haven’t heard much about his relationship with God and I’m not sure how to feel about it. He has a good character and I feel comfortable around him and he is constantly putting himself in godly community, but I haven’t heard about his relationship with God. He is on the shyer, quieter side, but I’m wondering if I’m being too skeptical about who he is and I need to get to know him more or if he just doesn’t prioritize his relationship with God on his own time. Thanks for any advice!
Hey, you mentioned that you've hung out with this guy in a group setting in addition to describing him as shy. As a very reserved person myself, I naturally won't open up much about intimate stuff in a setting where there are many people. You should communicate with him directly via texting or a maybe phone call. Explain that you've observed certain aspects of his life and you're interested in hearing about his walk with the Lord. Introverted people actually like speaking about these things but they generally aren't comfortable doing so among many people.
One urban legend in the Christian world is "When you don't want to get married any more, that's when God will send you the right person !" . Why will God send you the right person if you don't want to get married any more ? The worst thing you can do is marry somebody who doesn't want to get married . Would you hire an employee who didn't want to work ? Would you pay for somebody to go to college if he didn't want to go ?
Is 19 too young to want to prepare for marriage? I know God is shaping me as a person for the love he has for the souls, but should I start thinking about dating at this age?
Jonas long your ready its mot too young if God says your ready and your ready then no sense of waiting too much longer AMD end up like me 28 single in a world that's about to end pro ably within 10-20 years under the new world order
I think it's my lack of desire to date because I know one day I wana be married, that being said! Theres almost not desire to date. I dont think I have to bad of timebombs honestly but I know 10000% it's not sexual lol
In this video I was more referring to not dating for a season so you can grow in the Lord and heal/grow internally to then date, but certainly God trains us in other ways like through relationships and experiences with others too :)
You can’t date your wife, you would be married to your wife. Until your married you don’t have a wife...and you won’t get married unless you go through some process (like dating, courting, etc). So you could be single forever with that mentality

My dear...that is the most stupid thing I keep hearing...it is a very patronizing affirmation "you will find someone when you no longer desire it" the stupidest thing ever

Yes, trust is a big issue in relationships. Thankfully God can heal and grow us through Christ :)

Are there plenty of real life stories that show this? Blind dates?

I may be young and ill experienced to give advice, but I hope GOD’s doesn’t let you settle for just anyone and HE brings someone worthy of your loyalty, and soon, because the fear of getting old is real
Pray for the best for you✨
No significant situation stays with me
Great Mark 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🙏🙏
Hey Mark...do these rules apply to WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS ALSO? I was married 25 years to the most faithful Godly husband Keith.He died 2017 stage 4 cancer.Does God have a BOAZ for me ? I'm in my early 50's.
These points could apply to you. I certainly don't know if God has someone for you to marry but I know God has a good plan and anything is possible
I have a hard time with this because I don't feel dating is biblical. I don't want to date. I want more of an arranged situation. Listen, if you marry the wrong person, God can save the marriage if two people turn back to him. We don't have to be complicated. Two people whose love is for God first shouldn't overcomplicatw things.
Looking for wisdom from anyone, including Mark!
I feel as though God IS preparing me for a season of dating and I had a lot of peace about a specific guy for a few weeks. As I’ve hung out with this guy more and more (in a group setting with a lot of his guy friends), I still haven’t heard much about his relationship with God and I’m not sure how to feel about it. He has a good character and I feel comfortable around him and he is constantly putting himself in godly community, but I haven’t heard about his relationship with God. He is on the shyer, quieter side, but I’m wondering if I’m being too skeptical about who he is and I need to get to know him more or if he just doesn’t prioritize his relationship with God on his own time. Thanks for any advice!
Hey, you mentioned that you've hung out with this guy in a group setting in addition to describing him as shy. As a very reserved person myself, I naturally won't open up much about intimate stuff in a setting where there are many people. You should communicate with him directly via texting or a maybe phone call. Explain that you've observed certain aspects of his life and you're interested in hearing about his walk with the Lord. Introverted people actually like speaking about these things but they generally aren't comfortable doing so among many people.
I'm supposed to go on a date tomorrow night how do I know if I'm out of training? Or if I'm ready to date?
brandon womelduff ..Ask God in faith lest the relationship fall along the way

What if a believer loves a person but God wants him to marry another? Is he doomed to remain single?
Yeah I have to be careful when it comes to meds
God bless :)
One urban legend in the Christian world is "When you don't want to get married any more, that's when God will send you the right person !" . Why will God send you the right person if you don't want to get married any more ? The worst thing you can do is marry somebody who doesn't want to get married . Would you hire an employee who didn't want to work ? Would you pay for somebody to go to college if he didn't want to go ?
I took seroquel but it hurt me bad should i continue taking it?
I would like to welcome these signs. Can we jump to dating?...Ty.😊
What if i din't Propose the Right girl because i had Studies and a lot of Homework and Presentation???
How do you get over a sexual temptation that you mentioned?
Here's a playlist on that topic th-cam.com/video/MAh-2KhgIoI/w-d-xo.html
Is 19 too young to want to prepare for marriage? I know God is shaping me as a person for the love he has for the souls, but should I start thinking about dating at this age?
Jonas long your ready its mot too young if God says your ready and your ready then no sense of waiting too much longer AMD end up like me 28 single in a world that's about to end pro ably within 10-20 years under the new world order
Amen God bless 😊
God bless you too Sirena!

You can scroll through my channel videos as I do have many like that :)
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger i seen them all. never missed one.
watch you for a long time you helped me a lot
What do you say about stunning... I love only one girl and i use to get stunned all the time??
Is it possible LORD GOD trains people during dating?
yes, but that would be a different type of training than an intentional season of training to just focus on God
This is depressing to me. I’ll never meet the one.
You may be called to singleness, which is also good. Can you tell me more?
Is that enrollment 10 pm central time
the deadline is 3/3/2020 11:59pm Eastern Time :)
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger and how much does it cost?
I think it's my lack of desire to date because I know one day I wana be married, that being said! Theres almost not desire to date. I dont think I have to bad of timebombs honestly but I know 10000% it's not sexual lol
Whereas this came up in the feed to highlight a karmic thing maybe an addiction.
I can belief that.
How does God train us?
Through helping us apply his word and by helping us learn to glorify him in all situations in life :)
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger Ok I’ll keep trying to my best in him. Thank you 🙏🏼🙂❤️
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger Thanks this helps me :)
what you meaning training? go on date? be friend with guys and they test you? by the way your TH-cam
Channah help lot thank you...
In this video I was more referring to not dating for a season so you can grow in the Lord and heal/grow internally to then date, but certainly God trains us in other ways like through relationships and experiences with others too :)
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger okay. thank answer my question
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger God bless you. That is confirmation to me.
why would i ever want to date someone whos not my wife? Crazy bro
You can’t date your wife, you would be married to your wife. Until your married you don’t have a wife...and you won’t get married unless you go through some process (like dating, courting, etc). So you could be single forever with that mentality
3 Signs God is putting you through a season of dating.
God bless
Amen 🙏🏽 ♥️😃
God bless!
Yes
Amen
These videos must be aimed at young single Christians and not 55 yr old widowers. Sigh....
😏 those videos are speaking to all ages I presume. The longing to connect on a godly level.
I watch some being unhappy married hoping for a miracle.

Marriage is overrated

My dear...that is the most stupid thing I keep hearing...it is a very patronizing affirmation "you will find someone when you no longer desire it" the stupidest thing ever
