I believe God will orchestrate a separation in a relationship when you forget your relationship with him (your first love) and start idolizing your romantic relationship. The separation is necessary for realignment and reprioritizing also self care could be neglected (good habits n mental health)
I'm not sure where to add my reply but I just finished watching the podcast and it's actually what I'm currently facing... Having to hear the Lord about someone and I don't think he's heard same and I'm not sure how long I'm going to wait for. It scares me sometimes and almost wants to make me feel weary, then another part of me feels I should be grateful that God spoke to me about him in the first place. What if He didn't show him to me and I know nothing, it wouldn't change Him from being God. I just need all of the strength and encouragement right now 😢🙏
@@busayoawujoola1337 hey sista I'm in the same pardicimate Im wondering has he heard and being stubborn choosing me cause I'm possibly not his type??...but sista, I have the remedy keep living your life as a Christian women of faith and continue to treat his as a brother in Christ cause ultimately he has a choice to obey god or his flesh and choose a counterfeit. Continue to pray for him as a friend but live your life as usual and independent of his Don't focus on him as I'm doing as well. Honey I'm using all this single time to relax exercise etc. do the same we know God is not a liar and this will come to promise.. but possibly us individually meaning the guy and us sista need more individual work. While you're waiting cherish the uninterrupted time you have to spend with the Lord cause honey them spouses be wanting all our attention and God is not having nobody in front of him. Take care ❤️
@@busayoawujoola1337continue to seek the Lord in your solitude. Im in the same situation, and the Lord meet me where I’m at. When you seek Him, the Lord will definitely shows up for you. While waiting, I decided to go to Bible School and just let the Lord transforms me to be the person that He wanted me to be. Its not easy when doubt creeps in but it’s when during those times that the Lord will shows up, until He becomes your full sufficiency and you become fully dependent on Him. The man that God showed to you or the promise of marriage becomes secondary.
I was scared to watch this because I didn’t want to be encouraged to be in a relationship with my ex. It’s hard to admit, that I still want to be with him. I felt watching this would be “itching ears” telling me what I wanted to hear, but you told me what I needed to hear and I’m so encouraged. I asked the Lord to forgive me for any idolatry that has been in my heart. He so gently put in my spirit that the way I worshiped Him in service and in my home, He knows I love Him more than my ex. I’m so happy knowing that I wouldn’t want to trade my relationship with Him for anyone.

First time watching your videos and it gave me clarity. I’m going through a break up, and it’s been tough bc we have kids. I feel like I’ve had confirmation but I have to fix my relationship with my Lord first. I understood when you said seek God and let go, you have to act like you’re letting go forever. It’s just been so tough bc of our kids. But I now understand, I need to be in a deeper relationship with my Lord. Thank you.
@@katherinechavarria2542 I know it’s not easy. It’s a lot easier said than done but trust me it’s possible. Just keep your focus on God and see how he gets you through this and works it all out for your good. It’s hard to see it when you’re in it but it’s all for your good. May God strengthen you in this season as you strengthen your relationship with him🙏🏾
I too have been ignoring this one like a sick child refusing to take medicine but it kept on appearing on my feed… Finally sat down and told God, “even if the truth they speak cuts deep, let it cut, let me bleed and let me hurt until my soul is healed” Thank you guys🙌🏾
Today marks the last day of my 40 day man fast! Thank you for introducing me to this concept :) I do feel that not having that distraction has helped me get closer to God during this time and gain clarity through revelations.
Hello, honest question, on your fast do you still eat after sunset or is it truly zero food for 40 days continuously with no breaks? I fasted for 20 hours and can’t imagine fasting for 40 days without food.
I don't think the fast was about abstaining from food, like she clearly stated in the podcast. I think it's about fasting from something but to know what exactly, you have to ask God in prayer what your fast should be about. Everyone's fast should be unique to them.
@ Yes! You worded this so perfectly. For myself, I felt that God called me to fast from romantic contact from men. I was also extra mindful to abstain from secular music and media during this time to help keep me from feeling tempted. I did not do any fasting from food, but definitely pray about this because all of our convictions will be different :)
I’m new here and was told to start listening to wives speak and ultimately Christian couples and this is the first video that came across my timeless since being told that. Super glad I ran into this channel . New subscriber and definitely going through my isolation season right now so this was so uplifting
I don’t have a clue how I stumbled on this podcast but this was so edifying for me. Currently in the middle of a similar break up story and every time I ask God to help me with my emotions He does and tonight He used this pod to bring me so much clarity. Thank you for your yes.❤❤
You twos podcast is great, inspiring and really is helping me navigate a relationship that just shifted, per the discernment of a woman I believe God brought into my life as a potential spouse. Thanks for what you’re doing!! Keep it up.
35:50 I wish I had people to talk more about this with! Just about dreams in general.. This has just happened to me over the past week😭. Just to see this …
Sacred Marriage and Sacred Search by Gary Thomas are fantastic books that are kingdom minded. By far the best books I have read (other than the Bible) on these subjects.
If you're young, say between (16-18), and you feel like God is not in a relationship that you are pursuing (more like a serious situationship), how do you go about it? Especially if you've been praying about it, but you're not completely sure how God wants you to move around the situation. What do you do?
Hey Jenny i know you've studied the book of acts did the Holy Spirit lead you to study that specific book for your fast or how did you come about to study that book?
This is a great question. God reveals to heal so I don’t necessarily think it was entirely based on readiness cause I wasn’t quite ready at the time he revealed it to me. The revelation prompted me to go deeper in prayer for the both of us which ultimately drew us both closer to God. Marriage readiness is a process so yea I may have been a little further along in the process but I think there were probably many reasons why
@@intentionalrisingthank you both for being so transparent you're such a beautiful couple. YOUR TESTIMONY IS OF GRACE. Would you please consider a podcast on practical things outside of spirituality (or) included for those who may not know Christ. what you should be doing in your waiting season financially, diet, mentally, socially, ministries etc. I don't want to squander my singleness season at all. Thank you for all you do.
@@intentionalrisingyeah you are so right here. I believe that God reveals it to the person as an insult invitation to get closer to Him, seek Him and just be with the Lord, . And yes, healing! Thanks Jennifer and Festus! You’re part of my journey .. your content really helped me a lot!
@@deboraoliveira7987 Jen had her initial dream of the engagement on July 25. The fast ended October 25th then the following year in October festus had the dream about proposing and then proposed on October 25th

Thank you so much for sharing your journey, this has been absolutely encouraging and relatable!
First comment...I'm finally here for a live 😄😄 I'm excited
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing this wisdom with us! Could you guess speak more about how Jennifer navigated these 8 months of knowing while festus didn’t know?
This was a helpful testimony, thank you guys for your insights. This came at a great time

You can fast for things. Esther fasted for her visit to the King.
If you're young, say between (16-18), and you feel like God is not in a relationship that you are pursuing (more like a serious situationship), how do you go about it? Especially if you've been praying about it, but you're not completely sure how God wants you to move around the situation. What do you do?
Hey Jenny i know you've studied the book of acts did the Holy Spirit lead you to study that specific book for your fast or how did you come about to study that book?
Hi! What was the prayer for protection that you prayed for Festus?
Do you ship in the Philippines? :)
Question ⁉️ do you think that God reveals the dream to the one who is ready for marriage? Or the one who needs to mature more?
This is a great question. God reveals to heal so I don’t necessarily think it was entirely based on readiness cause I wasn’t quite ready at the time he revealed it to me.
