God Will Draw Your Future Husband to You When You . . .

[@Joan-e1f]

We all just need to be careful when it comes to dating as a Christian, because the enemy can also deceive use. Just labour in prayer, and let the Holy spirit direct you. Its best to analyse the situation earlier on in the relationship/friendship. So we don't waste to much time with the wrong person.

[@KatErina-ii6ru]

I was deceived for a few months in this exact thing. Thought this man was an answer to prayer that literally was forced into my life. Experienced lying signs and wonders ‘confirming’ he’d be my husband. The only problem was I wasn’t really attracted to him. Also turns out he was a sociopath. He was a dangerous abusive man that pretended to be Christian. Please be discerning and thoughtful and if you see any red flags PAY ATTENTION! Take everything to the Lord. Mercifully God delivered me out of this evil deception. I’m so thankful ❤✝️

I appreciate your ministry to single men and women from "God's perspective". I just found your channel. This is so true what you are saying.

Blessings to you brother, for sharing the truth in such a wise and practical manner.

[@annacaiazza8869]

Well I agree with you , however, based on my experiences at church and other events, about 99.9% of the Godly Christian men that I have come across have been very arrogant and rude . They act like they don’t have the time to be interested in talking to us women or pursuing us . I think they forgot how to court a woman and they just stick to themselves. So it really was a big disappointment. This was at several churches and all the good men were married. I wasn’t the only one noticed it. The ones who seem to be dating were high school and college kids. But all of us who were alittle older were just forgotten. There are no more Christian Singles ministries anymore anywhere so that was a bummer too. I don’t really trust dating sites so I just gave up . I am now 52 years old and I look like 40 yrs. But it is a heck of a shame to be single because men are too arrogant and lazy to court us and try to get to know us . I am content with being single but I know that the Lord hard wired me to be with my mate. I keep myself busy but I desire a family. I think men need a hard talking to these days . I thank you for your video because it does remind us to engage properly for those who don’t know how to date. I do believe, however, the best connections start out as friendships, but that is my personal opinion. May the Lord continue to guide all of us to our mates soon . God bless everyone ❤

[@Ian-h5f]

I'm a Jesus' bloke so if I can give you some points: Start praying for the rude and arrogant single men in the church you attend. Cry out to Father to change them for His name sake. Don't make it all about you. Care for their souls. Pour out your heart and soul for their spiritual well being. If they are indeed rude and arrogant then they may miss out on the coming of our Lord: so pray for their souls. As you labour in love for them, God will not only work in their lives but will also open up a door for you to meet a godly single man of His choice. Whoever you may marry is going to need a wife who can intercede for him; this is one of the greatest acts of love we can be involved in. I believe if you will do this God will answer your need remarkably. Jesus gave us a wonderful instruction in Matthew 6:33. He will add to you as you seek His kingdom and righteousness not only in your own life but in the life of the church you are part of. Get busy for Jesus. He was the Man of prayer. We are to follow in His footsteps.

[@annacaiazza8869]

@@Ian-h5fHi 😮😊 thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support! You are definitely right about praying for others even in all circumstances! I wasn’t thinking about it that way and I was thinking just about my feelings and you made a higher point about us women when we do have that husband and relationship, to pray for them! Because we act upon our emotions a lot (as women do) and not what God would have us to do . I guess it’s because we want men to give us more emotional responses and some energy and passion rather than act like a dead corpse 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣( I am Italian get over it , that’s how I talk sometimes , no offense ha ha ). But yes you are correct. I would expect my husband and mate(if I had one ) to always be praying for me also . I also wanted to say that I have to get back to church because I have consumed with taking care of my mom and now that she is getting better, it’s time for me to start putting God first again. I think the Lord sent you to tell me this message because the scripture that you gave me Matthew 6:33 has been my personal scripture for years and whenever it comes up or is brought to my attention for a reason, I know that it is no coincidence but divine timing and Gods way of speaking to me ! I guess that He wants me to get back to church NOW and to pray for the Christian men like you shared with me! I really never thought of it that way because I was just so turned off at that that I just said forget it and went to church alone and would try to make friends if I could , you know Christian friends or see if there was something that I could get involved in but I just felt dry and I just went to service. So now I will see how I can try again. I do like my church a lot . Anyway thank you for sharing with me and I will definitely keep you in my prayers ok ! If you have any specific prayer request please let me know and I will be faithful to pray for it ! Thank you again! God bless from Southern California

[@Ian-h5f]

@annacaiazza8869 Thank you Anna. It is very rewarding to know that God is leading us here and there write or say or do this or that. He loves us so much and is longing to pour out His riches in Christ Jesus, not just in Heaven but also down here. He "gets excited" to know that His precious children are looking up into His face expecting to receive those good and right things He has prepared for us through His Son. Our Father is not stingy. The best givers on earth are stingy compared to our Heavenly Father. I can imagine Him "roaring with laughter" as we gratefully receive from His hand, the smallest of things to the biggest. No worries about your manner of expression - Italian style. You have to be yourself with a little qualification, yourself as God intends you to be. You could pray for my friendship with a dear "Ruth" like godly woman over here, that Christ will be glorified in all things. My greatest sense of responsibility is to see her grow strong in her spirit (Luke 2:40), strong in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that what God has for her will be fulfilled regardless of whether I'm in that picture or not in the days ahead. Some extra Scriptures for you: Romans 15:13 1 Thessalonians 5:23 I Jiohn 3:1-3 Ephesians 1:15-23 Ephesians 3:14-21. Colossians 1:9--19 Colossians 2:9- 3:3 Lastly: Feet on the ground. Heart in Heaven. Eyes on Jesus. ..... till He comes. Even so come Lord Jesus.

Don’t worry yourself about marriage. God knows the desires of our hearts and when they are according to his will/plan, he will be faithful in making it happen. He has good plans for our lives and wants us to prosper as said in Jeremiah 29:11. Right now focus on building a closer relationship with God and loving him above all else including your partner. There’s nothing wrong with desiring marriage and relationship.’i do too! But we need to make sure we don’t make it an idol in our lives and instead trust in God.

A lot of people are afraid to "interview" their potential spouse. Absolutely conduct that interview. Where are they spiritually (what are their actual beliefs, because people label themselves Christian but do not hold to actual Christian doctrines)? What baggage are they bringing to the table (let's face it, everyone has baggage)? Do they want kids? If so, does one parent desire to stay at home?How are things financially (do you have good savings, any debt, etc.)? What are the important things you wish your spouse to do (love languages)? And you need to know these before you get engaged. The plan is you're going to be spending the rest of your life with this person. To be blunt, not knowing these kinds of things beforehand is foolish and will cause a lot of unnecessary conflicts down the road.

Let the Lord be judge of that. There are ALWAYS things you need to work on. The late Myles Munroe in speaking to a group of singles (I think they were), said you are ready to marry when you are content being on your own. (Different to not wanting to get married at all). His reason for saying this was knowing your real fulfillment can only be in Christ. Otherwise we tend to put umnecessary expectations on the one we are seeking to court. Our fulfillment must be in Jesus.

[@Ian-h5f]

It is critical also to surrender your whole person, spirit and soul and body (which are the Lord's), TO THE LORD JESUS, and, everything that is part of your person. It should be part of your dating procedure, that you openly pray with her and commit your way together for the occasion, even to hold her hand while praying if she is open to that. And also to be free to share the Word of God together. One other thing which is vital, is to be a friend to the sister you are dating. And, extremely important, is to let it be know your first love is and can only be Jesus Christ.

If this is the case, she needs to mature spiritually, and learn who she really is before seeking a husband 💞

This is the best advice I've heard on this subject!

[@seneiyagachuhi4054]

IV seen and experienced the worst in church where it came to dating a Christian " I am saved", kinda a guy and wonder why the ones outside church are honest and treat me better ...however am still hoping to find that Godly man...Thank you

[@InessMutambo]

I have found my Godly man🙌🙌

[@DoraEbojele]

As a woman who wants to be married according to God's standards it's important that you allow the holy Spirit to prune you and help you gain godly virtues which gives the inner beauty and radiates on the outside. This way when he comes and sees you he would dive you because you are his answered prayer. So, if he hasn't come just wait patiently - remember patience is not all about waiting but how you behave while waiting. Follow me. Thanks

[@AndTheBlueBirdSings]

I can think of many ways I can improve on this. The 'bridges' are like dropping the handkerchief 😉 But you shouldn't do anything you aren't ready for, just ask yourself first, if you aren't ready...or if you are just afraid. ❤

[@hildapage7065]

This is REALLY GOOD advice! Mark, you said, "Spend time in places where Godly men go. WHERE ARE the places where Godly men go, other than perhaps a church? God brought me to a Town where there are only ten thousand people in the entire County. Thank you Mark!

[@deannas6710]

Great message as always. But a question: Where DO godly men go? Besides church and church events.

[@Heythere2810]

I wish someone would have gave me relationship advice when I was younger, it would have help me avoid, making a lot of mistakes. I grew up in a strict Christian household where my dad was strict I knew I wasn’t allow to have a boyfriend & still had a boyfriend behind his back. If only my parents would have told me that dating is with a purpose and God has one specific man for me. The problem is that I dated non believers not caring if was a Christian or not. Until I met the wrong guy that’s when God open my eyes, He even protected me from the wrong relationship because I was this close of getting into a really toxic relationship. He also had a problem with me being a Christian that’s when I decided I won’t give non-believer a chance anymore. And By the grace of God I’m waiting for the right person this time. The wait will be worth it. I can’t wait to meet my kingdom spouse.

[@SanctifiedLady]

We as Godly women we have to stay in prayer, asking, seeking and knocking. We must take our time when meeting a new and truly Godly man because we know God’s timing is not on time so we have to adapt this mindset… take it slow and pay attention to his energy and that he may be just as nervous as you are… I see gentleman at church admiring me and in my nervousness I ignore them and don’t want to appear eager. There are narcs and demons in the church and I definitely don’t want to fall prey to them. Besides the pastor will have to approve anyone that is interested in a courtship ❤

[@jpretty2u]

Hi Mark, can you please give some examples of places that Godly men go besides church?

[@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger]

They are doing what godly Christians do :) So go where Christians go, church, service opportunities, groups of other Christian friends, Bible studies, etc. Christian men are busy serving Christ, so they will be doing that :)

[@dinomra7771]

There are usually lots of guys at gyms, problem is that it can be hard to judge there character.

[@Joy_M507]

I agree about the gym. You will find them there, but may be hard to identify who’s a Christian. Check out coffee shops or bookstores, too. Places you can be seen, become a regular and get to know others. I’ve had conversations start up over the book I was reading or looking to buy. But with everything, ask God to show you where to go. He will definitely lead you in the right direction to be found, and it may be in a way you never expected! 😊💜

[@ClydesWinfield-yd6yz]

Restaurants, Supermarket, Skating rink,Football, Basketball games, I went to a Trucking School and it was some fine ones there where I thought I met my soul mate his flesh was really weak and it was just lust so be careful wherever you meet a man!!!

[@rileypresley5605]

I've also tried prayer groups, bible study, service projects. God is important in my life and I am out on the world as a God centred woman ... I've been alone for years .... I've given up to be honest. I feel like my prayers for a God loving and serving man are hitting the ceiling. It has not altered my relationship with my maker, but I am aware now that perhaps it's not in His plans for me.

I am going to draw,sketch this man as I know what I want down to the littlest details You can’t hide from me as I will find you.

[@iamlightministry316]

2nd point really hit home. Thanks so much….

[@bizgrad407]

Besides church…. Where would a Godly man find you? It seems that as a woman, you have to live your life! God doesn’t tell us who to marry, but He’s given us examples to follow. So for me, seems that my husband will find me at Target, Starbucks or Trader Joe’s because he is not at church

[@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger]

I answer that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnu0lZmJeqd4nqc

[@autumn_b905]

Thank you for this video. Does anyone have suggestions on where Godly men go/frequent besides church? I live in NYC - modern day Babylon 😫

[@jeffwickham7041]

You could try dating apps. I'm not sure what that experience is like for Christian women. As a Christian man, I can tell you that I find very few godly women, but there are some. Even after I filter for only Christians, maybe only 1 or 2% mention Jesus in their profile. They are more likely to mention yoga. The last two "Christian" women I dated both said they could not imagine marrying someone without sleeping with them first. My point is it may be very challenging in today's culture, but I am one godly man on a dating site, so there must be others. Praying for God to bless us all!

[@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger]

Many times people can't meet someone "at church" because they are not deeply involved at a church. Attendance is not the way but serving and living in a community where you actually meet new people through the people you know at church is still the number 1 way to meet people. Networking, so to speak :) Meeting people through other people :) Surface level interactions don't work. Serving in places, Bible studies, group outings with other single friends, mission trips, etc.

[@autumn_b905]

@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger thank you for your advice. I greatly appreciate it

[@Poodle_Gun]

I left the Protestant scene because it lacked men and the people were shallow and worldly. I'm attending an Orthodox Church now. Latin Mass Catholic is good too. The men at these churches are more serious about their faith and the men outnumber the women. There's also a high emphasis on and practices for spiritual discipline. It's not just "pray and read your Bible." Hope this helps!

[@autumn_b905]

@Poodle_Gun thank you, but I prefer not to go to church to meet a potential spouse. I have had bad experiences meeting men at church particularly married men or fake Christian men who prey on single Christian women. Many men assume that single Christian women attend church solely to find a spouse. Also, if you "date" someone at your church, and it doesn't work out, it would likely be difficult for you to stay at that church.

How to get over the nervous feeling ? When it’s someone I really like I tend to shy away. Is that a sign we are not a good fit or compatible ??? I recently experienced a man who portrayed himself as a “Godly man” and he on paper would be perfect for me but the connection was off. My nervousness played a part bc I liked him so much but I was also apprehensive. Which later I realized my skepticism was right🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Where do the Godly men go? I’m at church as a leader operating spiritually in ministry and I find that that intimidates most men. The ones who are drawn to that are the Narcs wanting a shiny trophy . Help !

[@pawel3241]

A man can pursue, but it needs to be reciprocated, if the man puts the effort but the woman does not. He will move on. She needs to show her interests and not just wait for the man to do everything.

[@1menininhaeu]

Yes !!!!! A man is not a toy !

[@deannewoods5685]

A man should not be a man-child (boy) either.

[@pawel3241]

@deannewoods5685 correct, the man should easily sustain himself and have a purpose and plan. Women should not be the first priority. God, first, then your purpose or passion in life you want to achieve, and then right women will want to come along for that journey in marriage by partnership into one union for common goal and purse their walk together, getting closer with God, and enjoying the fruits from your labour.

You said go where a godly man Go! Well my question is, where do Godly men GO? Besides Church? 🤷🏽‍♀️ I live in a small town, and most of the men in my town are either married, in jail, alcoholics, drug addicts, somebody else's boyfriend, or dead. 🤦🏽‍♀️ And the ones online are lying and catfishing, pretending to be somebody they're not. I have practically giving up! So how do I meet a Godly Man? Most tell me they don't even go to church. And most don't believe in God. So what do I do? I'm 61 now, and I would like to meet a Godly Man to spend the rest of my days with. 😊 Please help give me answers! 🙁🥺
