@@nixnnxlife this‼️ it was this part that didn’t make sense to me. For me, I was in a season where I was just beginning to embrace self-love, learning my true value and worth. I was doing the work to heal the heartbreak I caused myself by lacking self love. So once I got the revelation of who my God ordained spouse was, there was a level of excitement but once reality set in that the journey wasn’t going to look quite like I envisioned it, whew 😥. Once I realized that God was actually sending me on assignment to love a person in a season where they were not ready to reciprocate. God revealed to me that it wasn’t about me! Every heartbreak I endured in the past was equipping my heart for this very Union. He needed to use me to heal his broken grieved heart. I quickly had to learn that it wasn’t just about God sending me someone to love me but instead me serving someone that needed my genuine love. Someone who is capable of reciprocating the same level of love I give but heart has been hardened due to life experiences.
I said the same thing I didn’t want to get married but it to was from a broken place. I was single for all of my adult life. I just began fasting and praying in June of 2024. Your husband is so right the waiting season began when you establish a relationship with God and get your life closer to God. I’m there and enjoying this journey.
What resonates with me most is "just because you are single does not mean you are waiting." I have recently realized what I want and have entered my season of preparation. But, it feels like I've been waiting longer - because I've been single most of my adulthood. Your message put things into perspective.
This is exactly what I needed! I thank God for your transparency! I was recently in a situation where it was difficult for me to let go of an ex. We didn’t share the same faith but he was a nice guy. He was good to me. We tried to remain friends…all the while God had been speaking to my heart about letting this person go. Well the other day I prayed that prayer “God remove him because I can’t do it!” Sure enough thee next day my ex told me he didn’t think friendship would work for us and God didn’t have his heart. That made things very clear for me! God is so kind and patient with us🙌🏾🙌🏾and He only wants the absolute best for us!
Lord, thank you for letting me read this! I needed this because I am in the EXACT same situation! I am going to use your prayer to have God remove this man from my life because I lack the strength to do it. Thank you for your comment; you have no idea how you touched me. Abba Father, please remove this man from my life because I don’t have the strength to do so. I will be still and wait for your removal. Please make my focus you and not make a man my idol. I want the man I am still connected to be blessed and find a different woman that can make him happy in life. I never want to struggle with my fleshly desires and serving you. I desire to know your face and not your hands. Please Lord, let me serve you wholeheartedly and not perform religion. Please continue to touch my heart, renew my mind, and change me. I pray this in Jesus’s’ name. Amen!
@@amamagrace9779 very challenging indeed, but I believe God also reveals to men first but women are just more open about it which is why all the stories we hear usually come from the female side.
The ending segment was so good because I just recently started praying those extended prayers that are beyond just my future husband, kids, future homes and legacy etc. so I love that part that we should not be bored during our waiting because there is so much that we could be doing and preparing for besides just waiting around. I wish I had started sooner and not been so stagnant earlier on but now I am understanding how serious these types of prayers are and now I am using this time wisely because I know soon this time will be filled with more wifely and motherly duties that will keep me even busier.
I await the wife God has for me! I will receive her soon in Yeshua’s mighty name! I’m speaking by faith like Abraham until I receive her in my life. We must all have faith in God’s faithfulness and willingness to give. Trust in Him for all you want and let the worry go. Tell God what you want in a spouse and give it to God. Don’t worry.
Perfect timing! So much of your story mirrors mine. And I’ve been in this mindset of “waiting is not sitting idly by. It’s growing.” But growing often comes with growing pains. I needed this confirmation and encouragement! Thank you!
🤯 I can’t believe I’m here. Yesterday evening I asked a trusted person in my life does God give the woman vision of their spouse and the man may not know. In the convo the person mentioned the Prov 31 woman. I decided to come home and reread Prov 31. 7 hours later this video is in my TH-cam shorts!
Truly love your testimonies, what I find the MOST reassuring was how much God was committed to getting and keeping you both in alignment to His perfect will. I think when it comes to this process, I often feel so much pressure to do everything perfectly and while, yes, obedience is key and actually responding to the Holy Spirit IS necessary, to just know I’m not having to do His job and can rest in His faithfulness and not necessarily my own alone to bring fulfillment. Its like intellectually speaking I KNOW it’s not my promise to bring to pass but Gods but sometimes in the flesh, it can feel tempting to help and bear the weight of it all, almost similar to Abraham and Sarah’s attempts to “help” God in what HE promised..
You should be completely exhausted and tired in your waiting season. That part!!! Confirmation that I’ve been waiting well… Thank you Lord for this beautiful couple and their Godly marriage!! ❤🙌🏽🙏🏽 Love and blessings!!
This was super GOOD! Exactly what I needed in this moment and I love to see how quickly God answers prayer!!!! Thank you for the book recommendations as well!
This waiting season is definitely a preparation time your schedule will fill up with things to be proactive about spiritual physically financially ESPECIALLY socially its like a cocoon shedding old and becoming the beautiful you ❤
This was such a blessing and confirmation for myself in this very season. This is my first time watching you all and I loved the interaction. I just would have like for him to be able to complete all of his thoughts. Hearing a male perspective on matters like this help us as women so much. They don’t think like us and there’s not many speaking on this topic. Overall it was a blessing and I look forward to checking out more of you all’s platform. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏾
Thanks a lot Jen and Festus. This means a whole lot coming from a couple that has walked this path before us. God continue to bless your union. Also thanks for the obedience
Thank you so much for this I am blessed I really needed it God revealed my partner to me 2017 and I met him 2022 that was when I remembered the dream when I met his family It was same setting then we dated for 2years nd 9months and he said he wasn’t attracted to me anymore but for some reason he still tryin to be connected to me,the devil attacked but I still trusted God nd I realized from this video that this is my waiting season nd il let Show him save revelation and clarity
This is awesome . Through my waiting season i will bake in the spirit with the lord I will season my steak a little better lol and cook more and keep a structure everyday . And not depend on a particular way or date or time , depending everything is his will . Good episode and I definitely agree want to fast and pray consistently! ❤
Thank you JESUS CHRIST for this channel ❤, I don’t know anyone who’s married I’ve never been around married people. So I’m learning a lot here and I’m understanding the marriage process and marriage life through this channel 🎉. Thanks for being obedient to our LORD and SAVIOUR ❤🙌🏾
Beautiful you two, thank you!! ❤❤❤ there should not be the 'if only i could'ves' 😊 He orchestrated it that way so we can be encouraged today 🎉 stay blessed. God is good!!! ❤❤❤
I don't know how okay this is, learning this at the age of 16, yet thank you for your works in glorifying God for I have learnt a lot. Thank you for such a blessing. I pray that God blesses you with abundance in whatever good thing you desire, in his name. Amen❤
@reneilwelinda the fact that you’re even intrigued enough to watch this at the age of 16 is a huge testament to the great person you are. You are going to make an amazing spouse if you continue down this road. God will certainly bless your marriage in more ways than you can imagine. There are many people like us that did not start thinking like this until our 30s and 40s so you have such a bright future ahead of you. Can’t wait to hear your marriage testimony one day, it’s going to be one for the ages. God bless you 🙏
@intentionalrising Thank you, I was actually doubting, like the counterfeits you were talking about because in my generation, there's nothing than makes you to even desire marriage. It's like it's not even a thing, or a good thing anymore. So thank you❤🙏.
Thank you for such practical advice 😊 Love the way you both expressed in how to do the “waiting season well” How to deliberately and intentionally focus on your relationship with God, before anything else. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I’m in my waiting season and your story gave me a lot of comfort. I definitely feel like god is preparing me to be a loving wife. I see why we had to separate now. I just miss him more than anything now. Your beautiful story gave me the hope and strength I needed to keep the faith & trust God. thank you so much! I’m so thankful for your podcast! I can’t wait to be on the other side and share my story too! ❤
@@dakotarobinson4345 so glad to hear this encouraged you. Thank you for supporting our channel. May God bless you and the current season you’re in with an abundance of favor 🙏🏾.
Thank the Lord for this couple and for this episode. ❤ It's confirmed that me and my ldr boyfriend are on our waiting season, and both of us don't know when and how will marriage happen to us. But we trust in the Lord and His plans for us. And I realized we still have a lot of stuff to work on as singles/living separately. Fasting is the main thing above it all, so I'm grateful that this talk has reminded me about the importance of it, as well as praying specific prayers and spending more time with the Lord. Thank you. 💛🕊 May the Lord bless you and your fam more and more!
How intentional God truly is, yeahh like man the way this just blessed my life, I need this testimony and teaching I can’t even explain to the point where as I’m driving and listening I see this license plate that said “4U 2 KNOW” 🤯
Everything was well said, really great advice. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us singles. Now we can better prepare ourselves for our future spouses. Listening to the things you are saying, to even learning from them. I feel as though I don't have a enough time in my waiting season. Keeping in mind, I am not seeing anyone nor have God revealed my spouse as yet. I wish a lot more people would watch this video and receive these words of wisdom. Thank you guys and may God bless you and your family in everything you put your hands to do, in Jesus name.
Yeeiy, It was nice having Festus back and speaking into the topic as well. I love how we are not to stop living because we are waiting 😅. My major takeaway, Build systems and structures early and invest too, where possible. Much Love and thank you ❤
I want to say thank you for sharing this video and also your testimony. Down to the little things like Dr. Monroe’s books which God instructed me to read before I even came across this video. May The Holy Ghost continue to use you both to speak life into our lives, in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Thank you for you obedience
Mmm such wisdom..there is a difference between waiting and being single..Now I have to go and seek The Lord ask Him..where have I been all this years😢😢 because my case is not cut and clear like yours..where myb i regressed in my walk with The Lord/became stagnant...mmm..Oh Lord
I think my biggest issue these past 16 years has been that I stopped living at a point and waiting on the man to come instead of waiting on God to deliver him and me preparing to the wife I need to be. Sometimes I feel things have delayed more because of me
Make sure you are in your word everyday and make sure you’re being prayerful. The more you seek his kingdom ( Mathew 6:33) the more you will be able to hear from him. Pray for your husband and your future with him, write a vision. (Habakuk 2:2) if you’re preparing, look up scriptures pertaining to what a Godly marriage is supposed to look like. Ask the Holy Spirit, what is lying dormant in your spirit that you need to work on. He will reveal it to you. And start fasting. When you fast you deny your flesh and you feed on the word so that you can hear from him. Pray and contend for what you want. What you do in the physical mimics what’s in the spiritual. “In earth as it is in heaven” read Mathew 6:10 and pray with it. Yes everybody’s waiting season is different and it may require others to wait longer, but if you’re not praying and contending for what you want, God can work on your behalf. Write that vision and make it plain. And also ask the Lord what does he want you to do that’s according to his will. Ask him to take the desires of what you want out of your heart and replace it with his desires. He will show up and show out for you. Praying for your journey. He will make a way for you. Keep having faith. ❤ God bless
Oh wow guys, glory be to Jesus. Thank you so much for this message, may God bless your ministry. Regarding discipline when it comes to devotion and prayer time. So I recently moved to a farm and from 6am it's go time, there really is no time for much and in this week the Lord moved me to understand that I need to prioritize time with him even if I wake up late or think I have plenty to do. I am saying this to say that I have been in waiting season and my future husband has made it clear that he is interested, so this podcast has made me understand what God is teaching me with this constant busyness and just a feeling of being overwhelmed. Thank you for this. Please pray for me because I struggle with communicating my interest to this guy because I don't want to repeat past mistakes and I don't want to be the one who is driving the desire in him, as if I initiated the whole thing... Thanks again, remain blessed.
I really enjoy you guys’ podcast and I have gotten some really good things from them. You guys are a sweet, sincere couple. However, I’d like to know why do you suggest fasting on the day the person was born? Isn’t fasting a praying for the future spouse enough alone? I don’t know if I understand or even agree with that specific day. If you guys read this, I look forward to your thoughts. God continue to bless & keep you guys! 🙏🏽✝️
Let me tell you something about me in regards to what Festus said in minute 43.26 . I made the mistake of sharing it with him😂 where was all this information 🥲🥲 . Still in the waiting/prep season, trusting in God to help me do the rest of it right.
Thank you so much for this video! I have a question for you : would you say that when you guys first met, it was the right person but the wrong timing? Do you believe in that?
@@devotionalwithdaph it was the right person and right time to meet but wrong time to be in a relationship. We rushed into a relationship without building a genuine friendship and we had no established the proper spiritual disciplines for being in a relationship geared towards marriage. So that 2 year breakup is when all that happened. We will be going on TH-cam LIVE tonight at 9pm EST to answer questions. Join us if you’re free. God bless :)
Yup! 👏 as a Puerto Rican… you cant say that 😅 I HAVE gone to houses at 3am to check for another woman but I would NEVER slash any tires…. Never. Im not that crazy. Crazy was the woman who tried to fight me for my ex 🤨 … when I saw he was more than willing to be fought for.. i was like yeah no.. i had no idea who this man really was.. you can have him 100% 🤲😌 😂 this was my ex from the world, not a christian one anyways… but yeah ive been living in the US for 3 years now and the stereotypes here are OUT OF CONTROL! People know absolutely nothing about Puerto Ricans.. they are comparing us to other hispanics from other countries that have not been the best here or hispanics born and raised here in the US ARE NOT THE SAME as Puerto Ricans born and raised in Puerto Rico… not the same at all… just saying 🤭 do tread lightly ❤😁 BTW Edit: I DID find the car of the other woman in my ex’s house like 3 years ago (here in the US, I had left my life in PR to come to the US for my ex) and did I slash any tires??? NOUP. I just kept coming by for a couple more nights to see how serious their thing was.. and it was pretty darn ON… tons of nights she was there so I just realized that man was never for me and went and suffered in silence for the next 2.5 years until I finally got saved from the Lord and realized that man was not my future husband and was never gonna come back for me.. in fact he married that other woman who seemed demonic to me from the first moment I saw her. I guess theyre both cut from the same cloth and I had no idea. God saved me from a horrible man anyways and I couldnt be more grateful.. now im in my preparation season for the man God DID tell me is my future husband 🥰
How’s his relationship with your child that’s not his? My fear is that my child might feel left out or not loved by this person who isn’t their biological parent. Men treating or adopting a child that’s not theirs is not as common like for women who are more acceptable to another man’s child that isn’t hers.
@@delasoul1457 that’s a legitimate fear that I had as well but you have to start praying about that now before the man even comes. They have a great relationship, we share more about that in episode 15: Christian dating as a single parent. Check out that episode, it may be helpful to you.
When ‘waiting season’ think of a WAITER/WAITRESS, they are actively SERVING their guests (GOD) not just sitting around
@@nixnnxlife this‼️ it was this part that didn’t make sense to me. For me, I was in a season where I was just beginning to embrace self-love, learning my true value and worth.

May The Holy Ghost continue to use you both to speak life into our lives, in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Thank you for you obedience
Please pray for me if the Lord leads you to do so.

Thank you very much. Such a blessing.
This was extremely great and helpful!❤
I think my biggest issue these past 16 years has been that I stopped living at a point and waiting on the man to come instead of waiting on God to deliver him and me preparing to the wife I need to be.
Sometimes I feel things have delayed more because of me
Make sure you are in your word everyday and make sure you’re being prayerful. The more you seek his kingdom ( Mathew 6:33) the more you will be able to hear from him. Pray for your husband and your future with him, write a vision. (Habakuk 2:2) if you’re preparing, look up scriptures pertaining to what a Godly marriage is supposed to look like. Ask the Holy Spirit, what is lying dormant in your spirit that you need to work on. He will reveal it to you. And start fasting. When you fast you deny your flesh and you feed on the word so that you can hear from him. Pray and contend for what you want. What you do in the physical mimics what’s in the spiritual. “In earth as it is in heaven” read Mathew 6:10 and pray with it. Yes everybody’s waiting season is different and it may require others to wait longer, but if you’re not praying and contending for what you want, God can work on your behalf. Write that vision and make it plain. And also ask the Lord what does he want you to do that’s according to his will. Ask him to take the desires of what you want out of your heart and replace it with his desires. He will show up and show out for you. Praying for your journey. He will make a way for you. Keep having faith. ❤ God bless
Don’t look at it as delay. There’s a lesson in every season and it will have a positive impact on your future
This comment is very deep. Waiting on God to deliver him instead of waiting on the man to come.
I’m so blessed by this ❤ thank you!

Oh wow
Wow! Two years, it's been four months and I’m already exhausted in the waiting 😢
Been waiting for 12yrs.
18:30 Waiting Season Begins
Oh wow guys, glory be to Jesus. Thank you so much for this message, may God bless your ministry.
Regarding discipline when it comes to devotion and prayer time. So I recently moved to a farm and from 6am it's go time, there really is no time for much and in this week the Lord moved me to understand that I need to prioritize time with him even if I wake up late or think I have plenty to do. I am saying this to say that I have been in waiting season and my future husband has made it clear that he is interested, so this podcast has made me understand what God is teaching me with this constant busyness and just a feeling of being overwhelmed. Thank you for this.
Please pray for me because I struggle with communicating my interest to this guy because I don't want to repeat past mistakes and I don't want to be the one who is driving the desire in him, as if I initiated the whole thing...
Thanks again, remain blessed.
🙏🙏🙏
I’m Puerto Rican brother and I know how my Puerto Rican sisters act . You’re not lying brother!😂😂😂😂

12:00 ❤🎉
I really enjoy you guys’ podcast and I have gotten some really good things from them. You guys are a sweet, sincere couple. However, I’d like to know why do you suggest fasting on the day the person was born? Isn’t fasting a praying for the future spouse enough alone? I don’t know if I understand or even agree with that specific day. If you guys read this, I look forward to your thoughts. God continue to bless & keep you guys! 🙏🏽✝️
Let me tell you something about me in regards to what Festus said in minute 43.26 . I made the mistake of sharing it with him😂 where was all this information 🥲🥲 . Still in the waiting/prep season, trusting in God to help me do the rest of it right.
Stay encouraged. God redeems all. He is faithful
❤❤❤❤

Hi! I'm curious. What was the dream that you had that he was your husband ?
I thought Festus was straight from the mother land. He has a beautiful smile, skin, and teeth.
The idea of fasting on the day the person was born is interesting. How did that belief come about?
I was already there so I thought to see what he was doing 3 in the morning 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for this video! I have a question for you : would you say that when you guys first met, it was the right person but the wrong timing? Do you believe in that?
@@devotionalwithdaph it was the right person and right time to meet but wrong time to be in a relationship. We rushed into a relationship without building a genuine friendship and we had no established the proper spiritual disciplines for being in a relationship geared towards marriage. So that 2 year breakup is when all that happened. We will be going on TH-cam LIVE tonight at 9pm EST to answer questions. Join us if you’re free. God bless :)
I wish you told us how you guys got back together/engaged/married! And how it was revealed to Festus. ❤
@@loryanninchrist6415 we do in our testimony videos.
Yup! 👏 as a Puerto Rican… you cant say that 😅 I HAVE gone to houses at 3am to check for another woman but I would NEVER slash any tires…. Never. Im not that crazy. Crazy was the woman who tried to fight me for my ex 🤨 … when I saw he was more than willing to be fought for.. i was like yeah no.. i had no idea who this man really was.. you can have him 100% 🤲😌 😂 this was my ex from the world, not a christian one anyways… but yeah ive been living in the US for 3 years now and the stereotypes here are OUT OF CONTROL! People know absolutely nothing about Puerto Ricans.. they are comparing us to other hispanics from other countries that have not been the best here or hispanics born and raised here in the US ARE NOT THE SAME as Puerto Ricans born and raised in Puerto Rico… not the same at all… just saying 🤭 do tread lightly ❤😁
BTW Edit: I DID find the car of the other woman in my ex’s house like 3 years ago (here in the US, I had left my life in PR to come to the US for my ex) and did I slash any tires??? NOUP. I just kept coming by for a couple more nights to see how serious their thing was.. and it was pretty darn ON… tons of nights she was there so I just realized that man was never for me and went and suffered in silence for the next 2.5 years until I finally got saved from the Lord and realized that man was not my future husband and was never gonna come back for me.. in fact he married that other woman who seemed demonic to me from the first moment I saw her. I guess theyre both cut from the same cloth and I had no idea. God saved me from a horrible man anyways and I couldnt be more grateful.. now im in my preparation season for the man God DID tell me is my future husband 🥰
lol 3am is the hour the enemy attacks😅
How’s his relationship with your child that’s not his? My fear is that my child might feel left out or not loved by this person who isn’t their biological parent. Men treating or adopting a child that’s not theirs is not as common like for women who are more acceptable to another man’s child that isn’t hers.
@@delasoul1457 that’s a legitimate fear that I had as well but you have to start praying about that now before the man even comes. They have a great relationship, we share more about that in episode 15: Christian dating as a single parent. Check out that episode, it may be helpful to you.
