    1. Man and woman will see that they have equal passion for him.
    2. Man and women will get drawn to each other who are ministry minded and have common interests/desire towards ministry.
    3. You will realize that your individual spiritual life will be enhanced by your partner- you will see/understand this quality in ur partner.
    4. You will be drawn to the person who love and puts god more than anyone else..more than your relationship.

    " But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 ~~God has revealed this verse in the season to me. I desire marriage and have never been in a relationship but I know God is preparing me. I get anxious in finding my spouse as I'm in my 30s. But god has giving me peace in seeking him first and doing everything for his glory. And then my future spouse will come along as he will understand me and also have god first in his heart.
    Praying you all seek God first🙏

    “You can get married without Christ in your life. But you can’t have a godly marriage without Christ in your life” preach!!
    Is it possible that if you are someone who is proactive in your relationship with God, that He can draw a single person to you (who wants to date for a serious relationship) but isn’t quite there yet with God however he states his desires to be closer to Him and shows slight interest? Or is it likely that they’re not from God..

      Hi friend! I just departed from a relationship that looked similar to this. It started with him seeming like he had a heart for God, then as we dated, his different actions (or lack thereof) showed me differently. Then his language transitioned into "oh how do I pray" or "I didnt know this because I was conditioned this way." Now that we are broken up, he has shown more and more how little of a foundation and interest he has for God. He works in the church, and initially said the right things, but he admitted later to exaggerating the truth, and petitioned to making the change (he hasn't lol). My own compassion and mercy blurred the truth, but thank God for discernment. Pray that God reveals to you their heart. Even if one is Christian they can still be unequally yoked with where you are at spiritually.

    • @FunnyChicken95
      @FunnyChicken95 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeah I agree in being mindful of who says what they are. I think the reason I was just a little unsure is because the guy does believe in God he just isn’t where he wants to be, as in he has been kinda dormant. So he’s not worldly or anything and I can see some small efforts of him trying..
      I need to keep praying man lol

      @@FunnyChicken95 yes yes yes, pleaseee keep praying. Efforts are okay but counterfeits will show you what they need to in order to lure you in. I've had 2 experiences (shame on me 😔) and they used scripture and all but their spirits were not pure. Believing in God and knowing, LOVING Him are very different. If he's not where he needs/wants to be then you have to allow him to do that on his own.

    I’ve been praying for God to bring me the one for years. I’m very confused as to why I didn’t already meet her years ago. And I’ve been very distraught over not meeting her and why it’s taking so long. My faith has been wavering because of it. But I’ve learned from other believers that if you just focus on wanting a relationship with him and consider the fact that might not ever meet the one will he bring he/she to you. So I’m trying to only focus on him ALONE and asked him to remove the nagging feeling of having a soulmate and relax so that I can focus on a personal relationship with him

      @@Jellybean195 that is true, however it is a process to arrive at that resolve and this channel educates people to assess where their hearts are at and what their desires are and whether it's in tune with God's plans for them. To focus on Jesus requires a person to be honest about their heart, struggles, their desires, and in this case it's finding a potential husband which is not a sin. We can say we are focused on God, but it needs to be sincere, from the heart and in our actions not just in words.

    God is soamazing! I completely agree with the things mentioned on that video. I thought that God called me to be single which I had already accepted and then the Holy Spirit put into my heart all of a sudden to desire for marriage. Also drawing a godly man to communicate with me and see our deep devotion to Him. Both of us never thought fellowship would lead into romantic love. Like what was said in that video, we saw how together, God’s glory will be shown through doing His wonderful works. Distance is a hindrance to that as of now but with God, nothing is impossible. His will shall always be done in Yahushua/Yeshua/Jesus’ name.

LORD IF THIS IS YOUR WILL FOR ME TO GET MARRIED, I WANT A MAN WHO LOVE YOU, WHO CAN PRAY WTH ME, WORSHIP WTH ME AND HIS DESIRE IS TO SERVE YOU. after i pray this i fast for a week but he came already through my friend. I ask signs, if he is the one who send Freind request for me, and if he have a bible verse, And it happens. Now, we are already 2yrs in a long distance relationship, we pray together and have one spirit to glorify Jesus. I believe in the power of prayer, faith, amd trust.

    What if someone is involved in the church, serves, and leads ministries but the other person doesn’t? My covenant are my co workers at work. I’ve been at my job for two months and as I get closer to my co workers I realize just how much I love them all even if they have their faults they are super important to me just like this guys church and the people are important to him. I don’t just join a church to join a church I need to feel safe at that church and most Christians just want to try and change me or give me advice which is why I don’t want to get involved. I did find a wonderful church online that has amazing theology called Imperfect Church in New York but I’m in CA. It’s by far my favorite one and I listen to the sermons all the time. But yes I’ve been to churches where I’ve just been treated badly. Not said hello to, felt left out, was talked to rudely, asked to leave a Bible study because of my drinking. I just think Christians should learn to minister in the right way. 😕🤔

    You still haven't addressed the fact that women are no longer traditional women? Most have had at least a few years of feminist indoctrination, more with 4 year degrees especially in social sciences, and education programs. As a result, most not all, no longer possess the qualities and biblical values that are essential for a Christ centered marriage that is balanced and functional. You have so many videos on Christian men and women finding the partner God intended and will bless, which is great, not trying to be difficult or aggressive towards your ministry. I've quite enjoyed many of them and it's wonderful to hear about the purpose and blessings of marriage from God's intended plan. That being said, what marriage, even a modern Christian marriage is now is a messy bastardization of God's plan and how it's become what it is with the churches blessing is never addressed. The countless lives of believer's lives being completely destroyed, children raised by divorced single mothers with no father, men being stripped of everything they worked for as more and more women serve them with divorce papers without a second thought. Men share their part of the blame for sure but it is women who are given all the power and control legally the minute he puts a ring on her finger, and nobody is addressing this. Marriage in God's plan is amazing and good, what men are walking into now is a fight they can't win and left with all of responsibilities while women get all of the benefits and no accountability. And if he doesn't owe up to the "responsibilities" as dictated by a family court judge, he will be put in shackles and put in a cell with his debt to her only accumulating with interest and no voice of reason from the church, no help, no support, nobody calling her out, nobody forcing her to denounce her vows to her husband and her covenant with God. Worst case scenario but if you don't think things between men and women and marriage, family, divorce, and the consequences suffered by everyone isn't important, you're being a lazy leader of your flock and I hope you will feel at least some conviction to to address what is happening Christian marriages. And nobody hurt me, never married, military life is hard on relationships and it just never happened with my deployments. I've seen it happen to so many men both in the military, my own family, and past church families. Good men in almost every case put through a meat grinder of a divorce, lost access to their children, homes, wives in most cases so vindictive and cruel, all of these women met and married in church. I don't know any men in my walk that divorced their wives, they kept their promises to God, their wives, and families and are happy.

    I know marriage is supposed to be a good thing. and I know for some people it is, but I was married once and it was such a VERY VERY BAD decision he was so abusive. and to this day if he can steal from me and my children he will. Now it's so hard for me to believe good can come from marriage, because of that. and I'm a born again Christian and I know Christ and I believe ME as the BODY HIS BRIDE AND CHRIST is my HUSBANDMAN. But In the Earth it's hard for me to believe.

      Just to encourage you Raymond. I just met someone on a Christian dating site in early September. I prayed that God's will be done. This man I want to marry, is a man who runs after God. Fruit will always display. Whether intentional or not. Upon messaging back and forth on the site. He wanted to meet on zoom so we can communicate face to face since distance is a factor and this current global situation as well. We connected. We talk daily. We are planning on meeting once travel bans along with my renewed passport is mailed back. Marriage has been discussed and continues to be in our communication.
      Whatever you decide, I pray you're blessed richly in The LORD🙏🏿

    Sir, I have been watching your videos and wish to know if God considers an arranged marriage performed on false claims valid? Here in India, most of the marriages are arranged even Christian marriages. And I am trapped in such where my husband hardly communicated before marriage and even after marriage has tried to control me by threats and provocation. He even didnt want me to have kids. So I have returned to my father's house. I wish to get a divorce as I feel cheated. He talks to others constantly on phone but has no time for me even in the first year of marriage. What should I do?

      By ministry he’s not talking about being a pastor or preacher behind the pulpit, what it means is what you and your spouse will do in your life’s for God as a couple, (missionary work, feeding the homeless, teaching in the prisons, whatever God puts on your heart etc) we’re all called to do something and the wife is the helpmate to her husband as the Bible says 🙏🏻

    God wanting people to be single contradicts genisis!
    The whole reason God created eve was they saw man needed a partner!
    What sort of life does God expect a single man or woman to lead?
    The married couples get to enjoy intimacy, pleasure from each other, become parents.
    So if you eradicated all self pleasures you still have each other .
    A single christian has to eradicate all self pleasures and desires that be would classed as sinful.
    So what kind of life is the single man to have.
    He can't even have intimacy with another single woman because of the no sex before marriage christian rule.
    I still question this rule in Christianity of marriage because modern day marriage is no more than a legal document.
    In hebrew times marriage was you took the woman you wanted to be your wife,and consummated that marriage under the eyes of the lord and you were married.
    When did this rule change?
    Modern marriage which the christian church endorse is just a legal document!
    I believe that if God brings two people together, and their intentions are the same, that they behave and live as though they are married then that is what pleases God
    Otherwise all the Christians in say provinces in asia, which is far more religious than the west, where they cannot afford to legally get married are then seen as living in sin and God didn't ordain this!!
    I think modern day christianity has interpreted many things wrong!!

    Let me Interject.. having the one drawn to you is not something I have ever seen. From living life I see things through this lenses. That the one is a idea 💡 but on paper how is this a real thing? From my research and just living life you hit on people and they reject you. Then you get lucky and get people of low quality rinse cycle repeat. If we go off of averages and numbers if you hit on 1000 women in a span of 7 months what’s the return on that investment? I am a firm believer in facts. The facts just are not there for me to believe the one exists. No matter what book/ you tuber say so. I have seen people beg for a partner and never get one. Where is this the one ....my relationship with god is this in a nut shell. I ask god for so little and he does not do it. I plead / cry/ beg/ cry some more etc. silence ...that’s how it’s been my whole life. When my father tried to beat up my mom In 4th grade. To all the trauma and abuse I have been through. Nobody was ever there. So by all means the one is a myth. Here is life in a nut shell. You are born then you go through tons of problems. Money / health and series of things that break you. Then you get old if you make it then you die. That’s what life is. With tons of begging and pleading and watching others prosper. It’s a fact
