Hi Mark just a heads up I got a message from a 'Mark Ballenger' on one of ur videos that I replied to from last week the post u made on John 4:13-14. The 'Mark Ballenger' sent a long message about donating to a Nigerian organization and for me to go on a WhatsApp call. Just want to let u know.

Wanna hear something depressing? On August 19th 2018, my best friend and his wife were killed by a drunk driver pulling a fully loaded horse trailer, driving 90MPH and running a red light.. There's a reason for that backstory. A couple weeks or so before he passed, I got an overwhelming feeling of, "Call Logan" but I put it off thinking I'll do it later. Well, later came but he wasn't there. I've been kicking myself for almost 3 years now. I've tried giving this to God so many times, but that hasn't seemed to work out so well. I'm still deviated. Please pray for healing and forgiving myself for what I should have done before he died.

[@aprilflaherty9672]

Hey im April, I’m so sorry for your loss. Don’t be hard on yourself, your friend would understand and would want you to be happy and not dwell on it and bring you down just like if it had happened to you.You didn’t know he was going to pass. No one does, but that doesn’t mean that because you didn’t get to say goodbye that he didn’t know how much you cared and loved him and would have wanted too, and it’s not a goodbye it’s a see you soon, you will see him again :)

[@riceman1022]

I believe she will come back to you. Your relationship lasted 10 years, meaning it has been a good and loving relationship. Sometimes we need to experience the pain of losing someone to develop yourself and learn an important message from God. Then you can move forward and build your relationship stronger with the person you love. Remember to allow her to heal as well. She might not be as strong and in a lot of pain. So she would need the comfort of another person to help her. I know it's hard to hear. I know you don't want to think about her with another. But have faith that she would not do anything destructive. She still loves you. She just needs time to understand. And with people to support her. I am in the same situation myself and its been 4 months. my fiancé of 6 years left me for another. I lost myself. The first two months I cried out of sadness. When I realise how much I learnt from this experience through God. I have grown so much. I still cry, but now I cry out of happiness. Knowing she will come back. I have much more love in my life now. Much more compassion and empathy. I'm more healthier internally and physically. Just keep praying one day at a time. God will show you.

I've always prayed but my prayer strengthened during the separation from this person. I am becoming so enlightened. I have apologized to my mother and since then, so much of those negative, self sabotaging thoughts I've had since I was a preteen are steadfastly going away. At first I used to pray for marriage and children because I did not want to specifically pray about a union with this person. But as I prayed for this, I realized that I wasn't praying to be with this person: what I needed to pray for was his healing. So now I pray for him to heal and God to make him the person God has always wanted him to be. Now I give glory to God every single day. I pray about 3 - 5 times a day. I also pray for other people and other's situations, whatever my heart feels compelled to pray for. For example, I have been praying for abused children and children who are battling illnesses. I love this person so much but only God has the final decision if we will be together. Either way, I am loving my reunion with God.

Another reason is they are practicing sorcery like my ex. When obsessive thoughts start in about him I know he's at it again. Galatians 5:19-21 : 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Sorcery is one of the works of the flesh and it's spiritual warfare when someone is doing it; how I overcome it: with the Word of God and prayer. My point is don't assume it's God involved in you thinking about someone.

[@theremnantrising]

No. Your mind is not victim to "magic" when you are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. There are no victims in Christ. 2 Corin 10 5 take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. Don't let Satan mess with your head. He is your enemy ..no one else. Pray for these exes, and speak life..not fear

[@hhholly]

God called me to open a crystal shop and witness to people through new age and divination and “magic”. If that’s the language you want to use, then maybe open your eyes and see the deeper spiritual awakening moments that Christ calls his children to do. Jesus ran with thieves and thugs. Jesus would walk into a group of sex offenders and it be afraid. WWJD ? You never know what someone is called to do. Someone out there has to save “the others” and there are callings for these different groups of people. This is why we have spiritual gifts. Amen

[@JRM410]

@@theremnantrising That's not how it works. You'd have to experience it to get it. Who said anything about fear? Nobody but you. The thoughts come you take them captive. You have no proof sorcery can't cause obsessive thoughts. My ex even said to me that her spell worked when she heard from me after the first few times. I asked her what the spell was, she said it would cause me to think of her. So speak for yourself not about something you haven't experienced. Your comment is actually dangerous because you are gaslighting Terra.

Just yesterday I had an acquaintance pop up in my mind. It's someone I've met only once in person while serving overseas on the mission field but we chatted casually online for a few weeks. He has all the characteristics of a Godly man (as far as I can tell online) but he's from another country... and is a newish (about a year) Christian. I had basically just stopped replying to his messages because I wasn't sure how I felt about maintaining a relationship without a commitment and was a bit scared about how it could even work. Then this video today.... confirmed that I need to pray about it. And probably fast as well. I feel bad for just not replying but also felt strained by unexpressed expectations and even now... I don't want to pursue something that isn't of God just because of a desire for marriage. I could never lead this guy on when I'm not even sure of anything myself.

[@patjones8598]

My Ex is constantly in my thoughts. And the term Ex is a creation of the world. In truth she is my covenant spouse we made vows before God and only the death of either one of us can break the covenant we made before God. I let sin blind me and I left her we were divorced which is a man made law of this world. I now realise I’m in a adulterous relationship and I must leave it and live as a single or if Gods wishes we reconcile. If you do find the one and get married before God as a couple always put your lives together first in Gods love as a couple. You must always put God first your and then your life partner in Christ. Marriage is not to be taken likely. Seek God first and he will bless you with the partner you deserve.

I just see her around school at times. I used to say hi to her whenever I saw her but I’ve stopped because I said to myself that I do not want to make anymore friendships (since I have bad experiences with all the friendships I make) and being friendly to people is how friendships can occur. She hasn’t done anything wrong to me. She seems really nice and friendly but I don’t want to be friends because I told myself I’m not making any more friends. Now she keeps popping up in my head and I want to get her out of my head. I don’t know why she keeps popping up in my head.

Then the devastating news came to me Tuesday September 7th 2022 at 11:30 AM. He ended up shooting himself in the head…I beat myself up about it because I feel like he kept coming into my thoughts because maybe God wanted us to talk. I’m so heartbroken for him and for my cousin. He leaves behind his wife and two children ages 2 and 5. I understand everyone is going through something and for some, it’s easier to leave this world than to stay in it, but I so wish they’d muster up the strength to keep on going.

I broke up with him when I found out and have total confidence in that decision, but I know God is capable of healing his mind body and spirit. I know he knows he needs Jesus, but he has wandered from his faith. I saw him yesterday to talk briefly and asked God to give me clarity if I should let go of him or to give me hope for a future. I truly got a lot of hope from seeing him but it breaks my heart because I don’t want it to be me convincing myself and being broken-hearted all over again. I keep hearing “God is working” in my head and I believe He can and will restore my ex, but I can’t tell where God wants me and my heart right now. I don’t know if I should move on.

Well this certainly explains a lot but on the other hand I don't think dating is worth it anymore regardless of the amount of advice I'm given it's just not worth it

There is this guy at my church and I’m pretty sure God doesn’t want me to like him and just be friends but I’m not sure and it is driving me crazy I just want to be closer to God and I don’t know if he wants me to like him (I don’t know if he does or not) but like I think he wants to just be friends. Please pray to get rid of unwanted feelings. And the thing is i don’t even really know him and I feel more just interested but I don’t know I’m confused and God is not confusion so please help me.

[@thebeamli]

We have a child, he remarried, I am in love with him still. That is why it took me so long to truly forgive him. We communicate, are civil, and I would say are friends. I think about him day and night, I have dreams about him, I pray for forgiveness, because I want him to marry me so we can be a family again. I feel awful and dreamt about his wife. I've never met her. He tells me he's not thrilled he married her but since he did he wants to make it work. I ask God to take desire from me because it's sin to covet.

Angie Peace...what a perfect name for what you're going through. Peace is where you need to be with God and hear his word. Everything you are feeling is normal and this has nothing to do with you and you have done nothing wrong so please don't carry any guilt or burden in your heart as it will only hurt you. God loves you so much and when you surrender and trust He will never give you anything you cant handle. Its just changing the way you think and that's all we can control. Try to look at this as an opportunity to not only continue to grow your faith but its a test of your faith. I had lunch with a friend today and he said something that stuck with me, he said...continue your walk beside God and not in front. Its so me, always trying to be in charge and think I know what's best for me so the imagery of God right beside me can help me with my relationships with all humans. Keep busy and keep your mind at peace with all the fruits of the spirit pouring out from your heart. You've got this!!

That could be a demon. Familiar spirits pretending to be your ex. Trying to pull u back into the pit that God brought you out of . They so badly want you to be trapped but keep praying and run to God cos your relationship with him is way more important. The interpretation is that the enemy tried to entrap you. But God helped you fight back in the dream itself, where its a battle ground for spiritual warfare. He saved you from falling into wrong hands coz you're in his safe hands. Praise Jesus for your victory

I'm sorry to tel you this but this channel has turned into a Christian dating channel rather apply God's word. Brother Mark I know you have no bad intentions and I truly love you for trying to help people out, but I feel you should pray more coz your focus has completely shifted from God to Christian dating. There's something that is a lot more valuable than just dating or getting married and living happy. I'm all for it but hell is hot, forever is very long . Jesus is the only way to salvation and it's sad that we're not even talking about going back to our first love that is Jesus Christ. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13

Say something to let him know you'd still be interested in him if he moved. Say something like "I've always wanted to visit South Carolina but I've never known anyone there to show me around!" If he bites and says he'll show you around if he moves there then he's interested. If not move on.
