1. Believing there is a "perfect person" you have to marry that will satisfy you to the maximum 2. Tricking you into believing that marriage is about your personal happiness 3. There is no such thing as "the one "
Satan was lying to me based on this video's title, trying to make me think I shouldn't watch this video because you were going to say there's no such thing as "the One." Glad I didn't follow that lie! I've been falling for the lie that if things are challenging it means it's not the right person, he isn't "the One". God put my future spouse in my life a couple months ago even though I thought God wanted me to be single forever. Lol I have never experienced a level of this magnitude of spiritual warfare against a relationship. It definitely is a seed Satan will plant to end up divorced, making me think that if everything isn't easy then it means it's not of God and leave the person, and if married and it's difficult in any way it means to get a divorce. Thank you for exposing this lie, Mark! And thank you for posting this message. God bless you and your family.
Yes I said it wow. What then do you do when Satan is fighting when God is bringing two people together? And also, what if the person God is joining you with has a very bad character such as being disrespectful, dishonouring, lieing, anger, unsubmissive and disobedient?
@@onunzetobechukwu8500 God showed me I was talking too much and to the wrong person, and not praying enough. Pray, pray, pray and fasting along with soaking my mind with God's word. In Jesus' name, I will stay committed to God's choice for me! Amen
This video must be listened to multiple times. Once appreciated and understood that God is ALWAYS sovereign then understanding The One because easier. Reading the book by Mark “The One” also helped me to move away from the idealized fantasy of finding the ‘perfect one’ to making myself more prepared for God’s will when it is revealed.
I'm divorced because my ex husband tried to kill me during our marriage. Then he got worse. I pray that he finds God and gives his life to Him. I'm praying that there is a good ministry at the prison he's in.
I love that you addressed the common nagging thought in our heads: "God is prideful by doing everything for His glory" "He's not prideful, He's just being honest"🤣
Purpose for marriage! Amen to this! Many Christians need deliverance from demonic strongholds in their heads. God will bless only pure motive thougts thowards someone! God bless Your ministry! 🕊️🪔💟🙏🏻
When i see conflicts in relationships and marriage, i can't believe it's a God's idea. How God perfect and marriage is imperfect, i can't understand that.
In my church, it's always said that when we follow God's will, expect that things will not go smoothly. Expect challenges, struggle, and even chaos. God loves Himself because God is goodness Himself. He is not God if He does not.
This is interesting. I can see some of this in the Bible, but God is also a God of order, not chaos. But my mind is open! Do you have some scripture you could share for further reading on this?
Amen pastor what a word hallelujah hallelujah God is Good I will continue to wait because he’s in total control Love ya brother In Christ ❤️❤️❤️☝️☝️🙏🙏🙏
I don't know what to do right now but I had to leave my dating partner because he believes the point of being in a relationship is his personal happing I hope I've made the right choice to not look back
Thank you for this video! I have met the one for me three years ago. And I am still not married to them, because they are a non-believer. I know they've read my testimony, and they know that I believe in God. However, they are not in a hurry to believe in the logic of my faith. Because to them faith has no logic inherently. And it will take a long time to convince them otherwise. But I'm not discouraged. I can love them through my prayers for them and my further testimonies on the presence of God in my life. I am not going to budge and giving to any of the urges that I have for them, however bad they get and however bad I miss them. I believe I am called to wait and to live my Christian life, while God is working in theirs for our mutual benefit. I know we can glorify God through our union, but it's all in God's perfect timing and with our readiness in mind. I will keep doing life until they decide we can do it together for the good of the people God surrounded us with. Thank you for your ministries! God bless!
Respectfully, I think that waiting on an unbeliever to convert before you can marry them sounds like an exercise in delusion. Even though you are hopeful for their salvation, there is no evidence that they will change. They might never come around. You might feel a strong physical attraction for them, but you two are already unequally yoked. I don't believe that God would send you a nonbeliever, and especially not one who appears to be unwilling to change. In my opinion, I would move on from that. It seems like a waste of time to me. You could waste your good years waiting for them to change.
@@tjaspire Fair enough. To each their own though. I believe the one can be a non-believer. There are too many devoted people in congregation, avid churchgoers, who are covert non-believers. They know there's something higher than a human being out there, but they don't fully realize that for themselves. Some people can't name one miracle God did in their lives! And miracles are in every single day! I, for example, was saved from being hit by a car at two o'clock in the morning and many more! I believe, it's more likely that mine and even yours "the one" is most likely a non-believer. The statistics on faith are also in place. How many actual believers are there in the world? And why wouldn't God help a believer convert a non-believer using romantic love as leverage? I think its brilliant! God knows a man will at least try and pretend to believe to get with the girl he likes. And while he fake-researches faith topics and facts, God can easily find a way to actually get a non-believer's attention. Think about all the mysterious ways! God bless!
@@yes_i_said_it_ what I said sounded a bit pessimistic but I say that because of my experiences, I see through people way too much Especially living in a generation where Cheating and fornicating has gotten normalized. people have wiped away the beauty in Sex and Marriage. Too many deceivers and Techniques to find a way to destroy you, I can’t trust anyone else but God Micah 7:5, Doesn’t mean I don’t have faith God will Lead us to marriage with our person in due time, when it’s from Him you’ll know, but I haven’t had that peaceful feeling in my spirit Only in my heart.

@@theyadorek I understand. I thought I'd be single forever and I was content in that but now God has put my future spouse in my life and it's a challenge. But I accept God's will.
The idea that most Christians of “ the one” is completely pagan. Based on our current culture that worships sex mixed with ancient pagan beliefs. Being physically and/or emotionally attracted to someone is shallow. Determining whether a man is living up to God’s standard of protector, provider, prophet and priest takes a long time. Waiting on THAT man…a man who knows his purpose, as the leader of the home. Working on being more submissive to God, to be the wife that I need to be. He who finds a wife, finds a good thing. ( not a girlfriend )
Yes, and all Christians are fools before coming to Christ and if you keep reading Romans 3 it states all fall short of God's glory (vs 23). So the point remains that there is no "perfect one". Christians are not sinless. Christ makes them clean, but they still sin (1 John 1:8).
You're taking First John 1 out of context have you tried reading verse 9 or even chapter 2 verse 1 it says we have SINNED past tense, that does not mean you stay sinning read First John 3. actually the entire letter of First John is telling you to stop sinning. same thing with Romans 3:23 its past tense it does not mean we all sin everyday or anything similar it means we have all sinned before.
Its hard to believe this when most people are single throughout their lifetime and your life is quite the replica of theirs. This "one" or what God has plan for you for marriage seems so unbelievable to be quite honest. It makes singleness not even a choice but a must and its honesty what most Christians are nowadays. Good video btw.

I don't fully agree with this theology. Yes, we should depend on God first and foremost for our happiness, however being married to the person He wants you to be with makes it much easier to fill that void according to the second chapter of Genesis. The real issue is discerning who that person is when you meet them as Satan can give counterfeit answers to prayers regarding that. It is true that God can make everything work out for His glory if both spouses are willing to work things out by being on biblical common ground even when God may not have been the one who put a pair together, although that's not what He originally has in mind regarding marriage. It is God who gives people the desire to get married and raise families in the first place, but it takes careful discernment to determine whether the person you plan to marry is the one He picked or someone you picked. That's the difference between having a spouse and having your soulmate. Genesis 2: 18 and 24 18 Then God said: “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.” 24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.
He doesnt plan in the bible it says marry if u must.He says he wishes everyone could not be married.But all people want to do is screw .Most people in my view werent suppt yo be married in the first place.
I just re-listened again and no God is not sovereign over everything. That is wrong theology teaching and the church has made a mess out of that teaching. :( If God is sovereign over everything, there wouldn’t be abortions! If God is sovereign over everything there wouldn’t be divorce there wouldn’t be adultery there wouldn’t be murders. He is sovereign in the sense that he is supreme but not in the sense that he is sovereign over everything that happens.
I believe there's more than one person that are compatible and what God put together let no man separate... I believe this because if you were to become a widow/ or divorced there is bound to be someone else compatible
@@nicky1682 I've said that before that there can be more than one for different seasons, like what you're saying. If they die there can be someone else. But it's up to us to be led by the Holy Spirit about which one in whatever season.
