5 Things to Know Before Entering a Christian Relationship!♡

[@queenlovely2679]

Talk about singles, and how it is important to have a relationship with your self. I am currently dating myself for a number of reasons. Before I want to get into a relationship I want to make sure I know how to love God and myself at the same time before I bring someone else into the picture.

[@Rushama_Officiel]

Queen Lovely so true and deep 👍

[@chasehim3761]

Girl, look at you. :) What you said is very key. Its tge core of everything.

[@iamwacuka]

Leah, as a fellow black girl probably just a few years younger than you, I am so happy to have a role model to look up to. I literally had No one to look up to, before I met you. Would like to see a video on Pre-marital sex, and answers to all the questions Christians have about that. There's a way, as Christians, we can figure out ways to justify sex before marriage 'what if the sex is bad, I should do it before.', (to which God says that he is concerned over everything and wants us to have pleasurable marriages)< 'I don't know when I'll get married' (To which God says the first thing love is is patient) 'If I don't have sex with him he will leave me or look for it elsewhere (to which God says that whatever God has built no one can come against). Just all these myths and a response to them. Anyway, I love your work. Keep doing what you do!

[@Altairawaters]

Amen! Not making that person your god is where the temptation lies. If you're not married your focus must always be on God and how we may please Him first. 1 Cor. 7:34, Keep them coming! You're doing great! :)

[@LeahsEssence]

Proverbs 31:10 so so SO true!! 🙌🏾 and thank you!💕

[@stumpkillergaming1750]

right now i am trying to build a relationship with a girl who likes me back. we were moving kinda fast. havent known her a whole month yet and was planning on asking her to be my gf in like two days. by then it will have been over a month. she said to me earlier that we need to slow down and start over cause we built our relationship on feelings and we need to build it more on real life and God. she still likes me as far as i can tell and we are both praying constantly about this. thanks for the patience thing. i kinda needed it :)

[@jirehattherollercoasterlife]

All your videos relate to me so very much. I am a 20-year-old Christian girl just truly seeking God and in the waiting. your videos are very encouraging and keep me on track. Like wow, God bless you so much!

[@lilycarolinesings]

Yes girl! Praying for you

[@shekinahcolley9606]

I cannot stress to you how on time this video is!😭 Thank you for allowing God to speak through you Sis !

[@SoulStyleBeauty]

It is not roses and a walk in the park. Thank you mentioning that. It’s so important to know because that will highly disappoint you!

[@LeahsEssence]

SoulStyleBeauty yes trials come!! Thank you for watching girl 💕

[@popdeb101]

I’d love to see a video about how to be friends first with someone you might want to date! What can a Christian friendship with a guy look like?

[@originalceo]

Debbie Franklin very good.... Need to try it lol

[@Happy78704gal]

Me too!

[@GabrielaBarrantes15]

YessssPleaseeee!!!!

[@ijeomakalu9370]

🙋🏾‍♀️definitely can answer this question. My boyfriend and I started off with a Christian friendship. Nothing more at all. Just getting to know each other as good friends and seeking God’s guidance separately without knowing it about dating each other. And here we are almost a year in! It was the most amazing thing to be such great FRIENDS because it’s been such a solid foundation for us in our relationship. Feel free to DM me!

[@ajasmr365]

@@ijeomakalu9370 OK so right now i'm 14 but in the future I'm seeking a christian relationship. Right now I'm working on my relationship with god and trying to learn to love myself and other things like that. My only worry is that I won't know when the feelings mutual or if they only think of it as a friend ship. I also don't know how we would progress to more of a friendship. Any tips?

[@smcgee088]

I really enjoyed these 5 steps. Being patient is something that i have been working hard on.

[@leaveit_to_mika2117]

Sharday Mcgee me too

[@annarandazzo]

This was extremely helpful for me. I’ve been seeing a guy for the past few weeks and we’re talking about being in a relationship and he said he wants to have a godly relationship. I didn’t know what all that meant, your advice and words have not only made sense and helped clarify but also rewired my thinking- I need to let Jesus take control and be PATIENT. Thank you thank you thank you. Your advice has touched me deeply. 🙏🏻 Subscribed! God bless ❤️

[@lilycarolinesings]

Yes! Me too it was so timely

[@yolanwilliams7483]

You're speaking to me. Even though I am much older, I heed to the wisdom from your lips. Lack of patience is my downfall. I'm always rushing ahead of God, so shortsighted. I'm a new subscriber even before finishing the video. God bless you and your husband.

[@Kendra-Khiva]

Love this video! Great points! Having a relationship with GOD is the most important relationship that come first.

[@ParsimoniousTV]

This was posted on my 19th birthday and I feel like I was supposed to see this. Thanks for your videos and sharing your wisdom with us

[@LeahsEssence]

ParsimoniousTV Happy Birthday!!🎁🎂🎊❤️

[@YourChronicIllnessAdvocate]

My favorite scripture Matthew 6:33 😍😍 thank you Leah 😊

[@Sunshine.At.Nightt]

Sooooo good!👏🏼👏🏼 glad I'm seeing this as a single lady!😌

[@veronicaj.955]

Being intentional is something I definitely need to work on. Thanks for the the amazing advice, God bless. 💜

[@queengkzi3942]

I know this might not be something young christian couples think of but i think it's actually super important to go for deliverance first before getting married. We think we don't have any hidden demonic spirits in us but you would be surprised the things you come across during deliverance. Love the video stay blessed !

[@zellamarie2513]

Thank you for your advice. What stood out was when you said let the Holy Spirit lead, to not rush, and be intentional. Appreciate your humility. By the way...I LOVE YOUR HAIR! 😍😍

[@angelasantiago7431]

Loved it !!! Yes do more on Godly relationships and what to do BEFORE you find the one

[@Innoc3ntk1dd]

Wow!!thank you! it was very informative and those are some really good points.. at times like those you can tell in the relationship who is really trying to be intentional or not.. speaking from experience I was (intentional) and after 4 years with this person God opened my eyes and revealed to me he wasn't the one... So I left because it lead me further away from God instead of bringing me closer. I learned the importance of paying attention to their actions over words. again THANK YOU LEAH :-) ill be praying for you guys !God bless!

[@LeahsEssence]

Thank you!! And great job following God’s lead, I’m sure that wasn’t easy for you. But He is so faithful! Thank you for watching! 💕💜

[@Innoc3ntk1dd]

it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do but... it brought me SO MUCH CLOSER to God like ive never been this close 👀 lol ! yes GIRRLLLL GOD IS GOOD and He has confirmed me that every thing will come at the right time. so I'm doing my best to be patient and I'm letting God lead me in the season I'm at right now😊 everything for me has changed but it is all For His glory and my trust in God is growing like never before. 😊

[@esther-natashagodwyll6483]

I like the point about being intentional about everything. Great video ❤️

[@fdoctor79]

Love this, Leah! It is soo important to establish healthy boundaries in a Godly relationship. Continue to let your light shine.

[@rachellarimer9533]

I love this Leah!!! So knowledgeable and drenched in truth. Key things to recognize♡

[@LeahsEssence]

Rachel Larimer thank you for watching!!!💕

[@user-dg7un4kf4f]

hey leah i would love that you discuss about the topic "meeting the right person at the wrong time"... is it possible that you meet a genuine person who matches you perfectly but because both people aren’t spiritualy stable they can’t be together ?? Btw I love your Christian videos and your personality 😭❤️❤️❤️

[@MAR24300]

Stéphanie Zoukou the most important thing is that you both genuinely love the Lord and are growing in Him. No one said you have to be super spiritual. You can grow in the Lord together. But just be open for whatever the Lord may lead you as you do. He may lead you to not to pursue the relationship anymore or He may not....

[@GracefullyKaren]

Amen. God bless you Leah :) P.S. I'm loving this background.

[@LeahsEssence]

Queen Karen thank you! It almost looks like a real wall 🤫😂

Yes it helps and I like those videos

[@compassionandkindness]

It would be nice to go back to bible study videos. They were encouraging and helpful.

[@Soneelicious]

Camille Smith I don’t think she should “go back to them” I feel she can talk about it sometimes cause I’m sure some people also find these ones helpful so she could just spread it equally

[@sophiazhang9876]

What about cheating? Is it trivial? Or we can both cheat while keeping our eyes on the big picture and posing for a ‘Happy’ family for the big picture?

[@kristajennings4015]

Sydnee Ramsey Catholics are Christian.

[@sydneerodriguez6814]

Yeah I know but I was saying like theyre not non denom like me, extremely different, in my opinion.

[@briannacollie2742]

I don't know if you decided to stay with him or not, but it's in your best interest to pray about the situation and leave it in God's hands. God can see things that has yet to be revealed. I prayed about two different guys and God has shown me thru a dream and a text message that they were not the right one for me. I advise that you ask God to show you a sign.

[@sabrinapisa5324]

Wait I not ready and I sure he is a guy that god made for me was my mined is ready and my heart not real ready was I’m all ready but I not forgive what ex relationship did like they cheat on me and all that

[@MAR24300]

Sabrina Pisa what is your main language?

[@sabrinapisa5324]

[@earnestlycontendingforthef5332]

St. Paul sums the Divinely intended role of a dedicated wife plainly and righteously. "22 Wives, **submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in EVERYTHING." Eph 5:21-24 (KJV) **SUBMIT: [to SUBORDINATE; reflexive TO OBEY :- be UNDER OBEDIENCE (OBEDIENT), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), SUBMIT SELF unto.-Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary ) St. Peter also taught similarly: "You married women, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of God], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [godly] lives of their wives, 2 When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your reverence [for your husband; you are to feel for him all that reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him-to honor, esteem, appreciate, prize, and, in the human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love, and enjoy your husband]. 1 Peter 3:1-2 (AMP.BIBLE) So folks, the sincerely, truly dedicated, faithful "Daughters of Sarah" will humbly obey and please Almighty God.
