Is There A "The One" for Us? | @GodlyDating101

[@NandiStrict]

I'm guilty of the "show me a sign" with my mind already set on someone

[@keierrareenell877]

we all do that, but we have to trust if God given us desires to be loved He has a plan to fulfill it. : )

[@NandiStrict]

[@SheisChristelle1]

Don't be! You're showing your trust in God not in yourself

[@edwardbaker4824]

i pray for you. the "show me a sign" is an old testament principle and has NO faith in it

[@peters5820]

As much as I love this video, I still find it difficult to believe that Christians do not think God wants you to consult him first and ask him about who you want to be with till death..... It is beyond me really. The concept of 'the one' is not some perfect person somewhere it is who God wants for you. It is simple really, the same way you hear from God on a norm is the same way he'll tell you about who you ought to marry. A lot of people out there have awesome personalities, that doesn't mean they are all good for you. Yes, you relationship should glorify God, that's paramount. But you cannot claim to be giving glory to God on something he never gave his approval or rather what he permitted because that was what you wanted.

[@lover7107]

The one: "It is who God wants for you..." Yes!!!! Exactly that! Not who we went and chose on our own and expected God to make magic with like some genie. Of course things don't go in a straight line, ppl's spouses die and so on and so forth, but that does not mean that God does not have the best person set aside for us as He's working on us to become our best in Him!

[@lover7107]

I get what you two are saying to a certain extent. I believe that if we're fully submitted to God and have a real relationship with Him, that He leads us and guides us to what/who He specifically has for us. When we are obedient to Him, our obedience prevents us from making a "mistake" that could turn our lives into another direction. Not saying that He can't use a different outcome to still bless us, but that certain things can be avoided when we are really in Him and hearing from Him. When He told us that He will guide us, I took that to mean that we are not on our own in any type of way regarding ANY decision when we're praying to Him and asking Him. Why would I believe that He can reveal to me my purpose in life specifically, but not something like my spouse who is a part of my purpose (in Him)? Why would I have to date and discern things on my own based on what I see and hear when I can't see and hear everything? Ppl can pretend for yrs... God will give us warning signs to stay clear from the jump. We'll know them by their fruit, but we can't see everything. Sometimes God blocks it immediately. Anyway, if you read this to this point, sorry for the book lol... How did you two meet?

Thank you for tackling this subject. There was this guy I briefly dated. He was a Christian and he loved the Lord and he was great, but I didn't feel comfortable in the relationship at all. Ever since thin I've been obsessing over "oh my goodness what if he was the one Good wants me with" and I prayed for many many signs asking God to show me if he was the one. This video helped me, and I will be praying and drawing closer to God. I am thinking God made me uncomfortable in the relationship because I need to be closer to Him before a him.

[@neishajmoments]

People get remarried for e.g. After their first spouse dies. The second is no more or no less a "the one". Thus another reason I don't think there is a single "one"

[@thatoneguy3284]

I like that you guys brought scripture into what you were say. Love it 👏👏👏

[@Itstmera]

This is an interesting take. I've always felt like there is one man that God specifically made for me. Never believed that there are several different men that God created for me, only one... hence why I believe there is "a one." Just like God has revealed to certain people who their husband is, that is "their one." The Bible says what God has joined together let no man separate. If God has joined these two people together, if God has spoken to them and reveled "they're your husband" that means they are the one since that's the person God wants them to spend the rest of their life with. I respect y'all's input though.

[@SheisChristelle1]

So right! Read my answer!

[@lindstheteacher1611]

T'Mera F God did NOT create a man for you. God created everyone from him,

[@eveddie4176]

I also believe God in his plan created “the one” for each of us if only we listen to him and go according to his plan. Many a time, people force to have their way or force God to bless what they have in mind because of inpatience and the flesh. People end up marrying the wrong ones and God through his permissive will gives grace to allow the marriage to Flourish. This does not mean that’s God’s perfect will and that we are made for different people to flow with. If you’ll wait you’ll see how God will one day send “the one” into your life. It will leave you in tears of joy and praising him all the rest of your married years. If God gives us talents, likes, dislikes, our purpose then God knows the one for us to marry.

[@lindstheteacher1611]

Ev eddie I don’t believe that everyone is destined to get married BUT I believe if God wants you to be married that he will make it happen. Also, Jesus should always be “the one”

[@themosthighsfaithfulservan8098]

I understand their perspective. When I met my husband he was not saved nor knew God. He believed there to be a God but lacked faith and was completely of this world and still is in some ways. Myself the total opposite. I am very spiritual with an intimate relationship with God. There were and are times my marriage gets difficult because I’d love for him to have a more intimate relationship with Christ but I feel that God is still getting glory because with everyday that passes my husband sees Christ in me and he takes steps closer to receiving him for himself. I feel like my Christ-like light shines on the dark path my husband’s been walking on. It is through me and my actions and the type of woman I am that he may taste and see that the Lord is good. I stay prayed up that he too will become more God-conscious.

[@totallyyahware6840]

I am team “The One” because it aligns with the Father’s character. All throughout scripture we see evidence of this. Isaac was the promised “one” not Ishmael. David was Yah’s chosen “one” to replace Saul. Esther was the chosen “one” to save us Israelites. Mary was the chosen “one” to bring forth The Messiah. Jonah was the chosen “one” to bring a prophetic message to Nineveh even AFTER running away. And there are many countless other examples. The fact is Yah has a perfect will for your life and a permissive will. There is a perfect (meaning complete) mate that aligns with your divine purpose. This mate is ordained from the foundations of the Earth. Literally bone of bone and flesh and flesh. Now can you fulfill purpose with the “wrong” one (that is another believer)? I believe you can but to what extent? Like the other comment said if one person is called internationally and the other is called locally there will be conflict. But I believe when you seek Yah’s face concerning a mate and then align yourself with Yah’s chosen vessel for you there will be an EASE to your union. A smoothness. Your purposes will align and it will be a natural coming together of two spirits. Not to say warfare won’t be present because of course there will be, but there will be a supernatural grace to overcome it.

[@carolinechowe198]

I agree that there is no "the one". God knows who will help us grow in our relationship with Him...and they will not always meet our criteria of the "perfect" spouse.

[@luiseshikongo2689]

God always knows us better than anyone else, and He knows everyone of us, thus all things should be done according to His perfect will; and that include the perfect mate who will complement you. Not that all people will see husbands in visions or through prophecies, but as a believer the way you met is actually Gods way, be it on facebook or anyhow that actually how God wanted it; But truth is, there is always the one for you thus why you cant go on dating anyone but only attracted to one person, at times timing might be wrong but he/she is still your partner.

[@Thandi899]

There is such a thing as 'the one'. Because God is very intentional. The whole bible points out that God is intentional. Nothing of His happens by chance. Which is why it is important to hear God clearly on who you should spend the rest of your life with. That is not putting God in a BOX. It is simply being obedient. When you learn to hear God and are obedient, you will be pleasantly surprised about how intimate the Holy Spirit wants to be with you. He will begin to tell you even minuscule things like how to dress daily or even food you should be eating or big things like the number of children you should have and their individual purpose in the earth to bigger things like what he has in store for each nation in the world. How much more who you should be spending the rest of your life with? You are called together with your spouse to a certain ministry as a family in the earth as a service to God and this generation. Being with the right person does not mean life will be any easy, but being in the will of God makes it worth. Your spouse is divinely equipped by God to complement that which God has put in you as you both walk with Him and in His plan. Therefore a spouse may enable you or prevent you from entering heaven depending on whether they push you to God or away from Him. There are countless examples in the bible, even Rebecca herself as you mentioned. Nothing was a coincidence, she had a role to play, it was Gods will that Jacob be blessed by Isaac. Had she not had been there, maybe Jacob would not have been blessed and all the works of God through Jacob would not have been. All in all we invest in the Word and in Prayer, there is nothing God will not reveal to you then.

[@imperialfaith5883]

I believe that if we walk a spiritual walk and have a spiritual eye then we would know that there is no such thing as coincidence or chance but only divine providence. Either it's right or it's wrong. Even when meeting another believer, we can't make the mistake of thinking that it's meant to be. Just as much as we would consult God to see if we are supposed to be with a non-believer as some sort of spiritual task; we should do the same for a believer. The father of lies can use a "Christian" to be in high pursuit of you, and because it all looks good we often fail to ask God for confirmation. Gideon asked for specific confirmation in the book of judges when wanting to receive full revelation on if God was going to overthrow his enemies and turn them into his hands. God gave the confirmation he needed and then some! He had FULL CONFIRMATION; thus, having FULL CONFIDENCE. I believe we should exercise our faith in the same way. Now, I would also like to say that sometimes God answers back in His own way and timing, this is why one of the fruits of The Holy Spirit is patience. We must wait on God's approval and say-so no matter how bad it hurts. When God answers we will know with NO DOUBT, NO FEAR. Listening to God can and will save us from destruction. God say's there is a way that seems right to a man but the end is death. God also say's in His word that He will take the foolish things to confound the wise. I connect this to human wisdom, we often believe that our partner just needs to serve God and we'll be alright. It's more to it than that and our Father does not want us to settle. He wants us to compliment our partner tremendously. God is deeper than we would like to think. Every little thing He does is strategic.

[@edwardbaker4824]

so glad to see you DONT believe "the one" lie....VERY few have this revelation. if God was going to make anyone do anything, He would make them get saved. Since He doesnt do that, how much more so does He give us a free will and the right to choose in all things. It is imperative that we NOT date, rather court a potential spouse. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! dating does not have a determined purpose and one or both persons largely end up getting hurt, often based on misunderstandings, and while maybe unintentional, from playing with each others hearts and lives. courting however, is going into a relationship with the determined purpose of marriage, and therefore means we ask the hard questions about EVERYTHING both parties think of, then able to make a informed decision if the other person is a right fit for you based on your dealbreakers. DEALKBREAKERS - things you cant live without in a relationship and spouse, and things you cant live with. these are not the long list of things that dont really matter, rather a few basic things

[@Varaidzo1]

I believe in "the one" - if we pray to God for the "right" job, then what more the "right" spouse. The reason I believe in "the one" is because God has a specific purpose for one's life and who you marry can align with that purpose or be outside that purpose. For example, I would not marry a man who wants to do missions in Africa, as that is not my God given purpose or plan. So this must not be the one for me. A Christian should not just marry another Christian, *even if* they are following Christ wholeheartedly - there are specific purposes, plans, values, lifestyles that need to align - if you find that right person, that is your "one" & God had already seen, ordained and willed that that was the person you were to marry.

[@antwandawson1631]

Yeah... How are you doing today my friend... I hope you're having a delightful week I guess so

[@edwardbaker4824]

the "right job" is going to be one where you can be a witness for Jesus Christ, thus meaning it wont always be comfortable. a woman was designed by God for her husband, not the other way around. having said that, if you have no desire to be a missionary in Africa, then you are right, dont even court that person. when you do, you are to submit your ministry and everything about you to your husband

[@shaneikiyasteel7073]

Amen, right! Thank you! I needed this! You really broadened my horizon and shaped my thinking (quite a bit, in a good way) when it comes to "the one". I used to say that I date with the intention of marriage, that I did not date because I was robbing the right peeson of their time with me. And I did become drastic in asking for signs from God about being with a person and I was set on finding "that one person". I also am not there yet in being the right one for whomever God has for me as a spouse. However, my sister prophesied to me about being in a relationship this month, several months ago last year. I was wrapped up and focused on some things she'd said that I had missed the guy God had her prophesy about to me. She tells me of my mistake after he leaves for the National Guard. He was a dear friend of mine who I was very close to. We pretty much acted like a couple and had this "in sync" vibe about us that made us seem like a couple. Family, friends, and random people rooted for us to be a couple, but we were always like, "No." because we were always mindful of my sister's prophesy that I had told him about. I tool her, "You will have a boyfriend the summer--June-- of next year." As, "You will be woth your future husband this summer, June of next year." and read way to much into her description yhat God had given her to throw me off. So, the guy was my best guy friend and a Christian as well so he understood and was respectful about what the Lord has given her. Now, I'm missing him and currently waiting for him to come home so we can talk. I leave in August for college and I'm hoping he comes back a week before I go off and he is shipped to Texas. I would love to be with him but being in two separate states and doing a long distance relationship is a whole ball game I have never experienced before and am wondering a little bit about. Anywho with my time away from Him I am able to draw closer to God because when he was hear in the beginning I kinda fell away from God. I'm learning to better balance my personal relationship with God and romantic relationship at the same time. After all our romantic relationship should always glorify God as well and we should keep Him at it's center whether that person is our future spouse or not if we wish to become closer to that person we are dating at the time.

[@TrevelleClarkeWhyne]

We discussed this last night in our youth meeting. The problem with some of us folks is that we only consult God when it comes to finding "The One". Everything else, I got this but God should bring the sole person He created for me to me. I personally don't believe there is a one just like you guys...cause that very domino effect would be really horrible. I believe the one is wrapped up in Christ. How compatible I am with a man of God. Is there only one type a guy tryna live for God who could be the one? Nope. It is who you make it work with once that person is submitted to God. I believe if I submit to God, then how I respond to my partner will or should be a godly way. So this doesn't limit me to "one" but to any man who will go after Christ, deny himself, take up his cross and follows after God plus the added stuff.

You guys nailed it. So much explaining in so little time! I've always wondered how everybody has "the one", when there are clearly people who don't end up with "the one". So what does it mean for the person who was meant to be "the one".. does he end up with somebody he wasn't meant to be with because his "other half" was stubborn and made her own decision? I've been wondering this for over 4 years now, I have even asked my elders in Christ about this, but nobody ever gave me a clear answer. So I'm sooo glad I saw this video, you guys answered a lot of my questions. Also it takes someone with wisdom to understand that we should not be focused on the one but rather on being the one.

Hello! First of all congratulations on your newest addition and happy New Year to you Tovares, Safa and everybody reading! Concerning this video, I’m so sorry but I’ll have to disagree with you guys because I do believe in the one and it is not a social construct but a biblical concept. Tovares, you’ve said that God gave us free will and I’m sure that you're referring to Deuteronomy 30:15-20 when we are told to choose between life and death. However, what we must know is that there is a permissive will of God and the perfect will of God. The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that God has plans for us and gets even deeper in Psalms 139:16 where we are told that God knew every single day of our lives before our birth. Ephesians 1:4-5 tells us that God chose us in him before the creation of the world and predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ and Romans 8:29 tells us the same thing. John 6:44 tells us that no one can come to God unless God draws that person to him. And, the story of Jonah (for those who don’t know the story, Jonah was a man that God sent to preach to a city called Nineveth but he didn’t want to go because those people were enemies of his land so God sent a fish to swallow up Jonah in order to force him to go to Nineveth and he eventually went there. All these verses show us that no one can stop the perfect will our God not even our own will, so free-will isn’t really free-will when it comes to the perfect will of God. Now like I’ve said there’s also the permissive will of God which is when something wasn’t the plan of God but he just lets us do our own desires. We have examples of the permissive will of God in Genesis 16 when Abraham went to his wife’s servant Hagar to have a kid because the promise took too long. God promised Abraham a son but that son was Isaac not Ishmael. God could’ve stopped Abraham from having an intercourse with his wife’s servant because he knew that the son he promised was Isaac (Sarah’s son) not Ishmael. But he let that happen. And until today we still see the consequences with the conflicts between Israel (Isaac’s descendants) and Palestine. (Ishmael’s descendants). Another example of God’s permissive will is in 1 Samuel 8 when Israel wanted a king like other nations. God wanted to be their king but they wanted a man. Although God warned them against that king (Saul) and it was not his perfect will, they still wanted a king so God granted their request and we saw the consequences. Now, when it comes to relationships, God also has a perfect will and a permissive will. The example of God’s perfect will for marriage is Genesis 2:18-24. Lots of people will say that Adam knew Eve was the one because she was the only woman but that’s not what the Bible tells us. The first reason why Adam knew Eve was the one is firstly because she was ‘Bones of his bones’ and secondly ‘Flesh of his flesh’. This means that she was the rib before the woman, he saw the inside before the outside. And since Adam was full of the Holy Spirit before the fall, he knew right away because what separates us from God is sin. The verse continues and says ‘She all be called woman because she was taken out of man’. This means that a woman won’t become a woman until she meets the one she was made for. The ‘one’ is the reason why a woman will feel like a woman and feel complete because according to 1 Corinthians 11:9, the woman was made for the man. Plus when we look closely at the creation of Eve, the Bible tells us that God will make ‘a helper fit for him’. ‘Fit for him’ is the reason why I believe in the one. Usually when a man meets the one, he will have a sense of fulfillment, he will feel complete. Why? Because he found the one that was ‘fit for him’ , or ‘made for him, according to Apostle Paul. Does that mean that God is against us choosing our partners? No he’s not. He will allow it just like he allowed the birth of Ishmael although Isaac was the promise, or like he granted Israel’s request to have a king although he wanted to be their king and knew that Saul will be bad for them. But we will pay the consequences of relying on our own understanding or intelligence (Proverbs 3:5) And the consequences are what we see in this world. People are not happy in their relationships, they don’t feel fulfilled, their relationships are burdens instead of blessings and most importantly, people are not ready. God will never send you in a relationship without preparing you first. You’re not supposed to figure everything out when you’re in the relationship. When God gives vision, he also gives provision. Fighting is not normal in a christian couple. Marriage according to Ephesians 5 is supposed to represent the relationship between the bride (the church) and the spouse (Jesus). The bible tells us that a tree is known by its fruits and the fruits of the Spirit according to Galatians 5:22-23 are (Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are the things a christian couple who has been brought together in God’s perfect will, will experience. I know no one’s perfect but the Holy Spirit is and as Christians we’re supposed to be led by the Holy Spirit. We have to die to ourselves. And before sending us to marriage, God will make sure that we died to ourselves. How can a woman be submissive if she hasn’t died to herself? How can a man love his wife like Christ if he hasn’t died to himself? The bible tells us that marriage is a blessing and the blessing of the Lord enriches and he adds no sorrow with it. Many marriages, relationships are filled with sorrow because people relied on their own intelligence to be together instead of waiting for their Adam or for their Eve. According to the Bible, Love is the unconditional gift of oneself. You can’t unconditionally give yourself to anyone just because they praise Christ. A man will unconditionally love his rib, his Eve, the woman that was specifically made for him (Read genesis 2) and a woman will unconditionally give herself to the one that will make her woman, the one she was made for (Read 1 Corinthians 11:9) Our motives can be good and godly, but still aren’t God’s perfect will. King David in the Bible wanted to build a temple for God. Was it a godly motive? YES. Was it God’s will? No. God wanted Solomon to build the temple. This tells us that having godly motives are not enough. Plus, ‘choosing’ someone is a form of arrogance because you’re telling God that you’re self-sufficient and don’t need his plan in your life. You make your own plan and bring him glory in your way. Plus when you ‘choose’ someone, you choose that person for you. It’s your own interest. But Love does not seek its own interest. Love it’s all about the other person. Love is the unconditional gift of oneself. God bless you all, Christelle

[@VivonVrai]

Thanks a lot for this spititual insight. I pray it goes a long way in our lives in Jesus's name

[@SheisChristelle1]

Amen

[@jacobtyler1965]

Hey thank you guys for so much about what you do by giving so many single people a godly outlook on life and what to search for in a future spouse and how to further your relationship with God, it has helped me immensely and I thank you for what you do! I do have a question though: What would you guys say and what tips could you give me( and possibly others who are curious about this ) about having a relationship with a Catholic person, because I personally know a wonderful, lovely, and really kind Catholic gal who very much likes me though I have established that between us the status of our relationship must stay at friends until/ or forevermore if God has great or greater plans for us to be together or if this isn't part of His Will due to our ( for the most part ) differing believes? I have been praying so much about this and am really curious about what move I should make or what needs to be done. Please help and God bless you guys!!!

[@Ohole]

I genuinely think there is the one.

[@antwandawson1631]

Yeah... How are you doing today my friend... I hope you're having a delightful week I guess so

[@veronicaojan2219]

too many expectations i just cant do this.

[@prjdghyt]

It makes it difficult to choose when you can have a good relationship with several people. 🥵

[@niifiolaryea6353]

bless you Folks

[@iyajiangba1540]

I'm glad I came across this video......but please can you throw more light on the part where you said 'a Godly relationship cannot replace a relationship with God'.......thank you.

[@edwardbaker4824]

for any Godly marriage to truly be good and work, it MUST come from each spouse 1st and foremost having an intimate relationship with The Father through Jesus Christ. ANY 2 people coming together apart from this is DISASTER

[@naturallybree8301]

Good vid, thanks

[@genamaestepney2039]

Your words was a blessing I like the encouragement words for the each of you but remember one thing in the word of God the Bible said do not love your wife all your husband more than me all you will be unworthy of me you're not supposed to even love your children more than you love God you will be worthy of him it's always Jesus first then your children when that day come when you have children the Bible said be ye holy cuz I'm am Holy keep your mind on Jesus Christ he will keep you in perfect peace who those that keep there mind on me stay close to Jesus and he will stay close to you fast and pray and seek the Lord the Bible pray in season and out of season don't ever compromise and don't ever given in stand on God's word stand on God's promises trust and believe in him have confidence in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ come out from among then says the Lord love not the things of this world and be not transform to the things of this world stay off of Broadway it will kill you stay on the narrow way that would get you into the kingdom of God remember the man of God that's going to tell you the truth I love the church that I'm in they don't believe in all these holidays came from the devil there's no holidays in the Bible Jesus never preached about Mother's Day Father's Day Easter Christmas Valentine's Day never preached about any holidays not even the men's of God from the Old Testament to the New Testament never preached about no holidays holidays came from this world man made up holidays the devil because the devil like money the Bible also says to what can a man profit the whole world and lose his soul be careful out there stay in your word pray for each other to stay strong stay in a good house of God with a strong man of God that's sold-out living holy giving you the word from God from Heaven not from himself not from what he wants to say be careful don't go eating at everybody's table don't go visiting too many churches we have to be very careful everybody is not preaching the truth because the truth set you free if you feel that you RNA good church stay there pray for your pastor God will continue to let him live holy another thing I do not believe in women preaching Jesus never called a woman to preach Bible says God is over man man is over the woman he would never put woman over the man the Bible said if the women wants to know anyting at her husband at home a woman must stay silent in the church and Church they can do something they could prophesize but be silent in the church old mothers supposed to modesty younger women how to love their husbands how to treat her husband and how to take care of children and raise them up in the Lord both of them got to do that Jesus name amen

[@ngreat4390]

The concept of the one is troublesome because it hinges all your happiness on "the one". It absolves oneself of responsibility for finding joy and peace in the Holy Spirit or depending upon him as the true source of true love. It is the bases upon which the dating culture is made and a bases for a lot of manipulation because everyone is trying to be "the one" without the power of God. That's why there's so much makeup being used today...😂😂 Funny but true. The outward adornment draws them in but we're not to rely upon it. It's criminal to wear makeup when you are empty inside. You'll get cursed like the fig tree...😂😂 Anyway, "the one" is anyone whom God sends; is a man who had and cherishes his fellowship and obedience to the Holy Spirit. That's all I need!

[@zachcolgrove5660]

I definitely made my girl, my teenage sweetheart an Idol or my Idol. I cant help it. It depresses me any other way. I feel like it take my purpose of living or desire without her.

[@jasmines2250]

Thanks guys. I have a question, I have been asking for God to prepare me to be a wife and I have prayed that he would place my future husband in my path. Does this mean that he won't do that? That's the biggest desire that I have.

[@annmarie365]

Jazzy Jae honestly I believe that he will. If your hearts desire is to be married then I believe God has a husband for you and he has a plan for yalls marriage and will place yall in each others path. I find it hard to grasp the concept of there not being "the one" though I have heard this before. I think if you are walking in Gods will and plan and being obedient, he will place people in your life and that includes a spouse, and that spouse being the one he wants for you. Of course though no one is perfect and we will have to look past flaws of anyone but if its Gods desire for you to marry a certain person, and that rests with your spirit, then thats your person. Im still trying to understand the "not one person for me" concept though. Lol

[@jasmines2250]

Thanks for the reply. I'm still trying to get that concept too. There are some people including a pastor of mine that told me to wait and that God has a specific person for me. She said that God places desires in your heart and he fulfills those desires. If God doesn't have a specific person then how can anyone be happily married? He has to have some part in the selection process. At least I would think so. This is definitely a confusing subject.

[@jasmines2250]

I'm thinking maybe God has multiple suitors for us. Like maybe there's one guy that is like 90% compatible and another that is 95% compatible. And it just depends who we run into first. I believe God has to have some say in whom we select because there are times he's warned me about the wrong guys and even helped me end a relationship, so if he can do that, couldn't he warn me about the right guy? That's where I'm confused at.

[@annmarie365]

Yes it can be confusing... no worries. I have actually really struggled before with like worrying if God would ever want me to be married. But i had to realize he placed that desire there and yes he wants to fulfill it. Anyways, i think its like... God give you free will and you can marry who you want but also we want to be obedient right? I think God has his best out there for us and will lead us to that. Its may not be a spectacular moment in time and we may not even realize it at first. But we can ask "God is this your BEST for me?" He will honor that and confirm it to you, or he will show you if that isnt the best for you. Ultimately he gives us free will. I think the main concept of there not being "the one" is often time we say okay God i want this this and this, but no one is perfect and we cant set those standards for man to fulfill when in actuality only Jesus is perfect like he said.. but to me here is the confusing part... i personally write my prayers down and One thing I write my prayers down for is my desires in a spouse. All of them are traits, things like "very loving" or "works hard". My question is, if i pray for someone who is very loving and kind, what if I come across someone whos a total jerk but does other things wonderfully?? Im not talking about one bad day lol. Or what if i pray for someone who works hard and is progressive, but i come across someone who is a total Bum but can prophesy and hear God clearly. Honestly some things ARE deal breakers and I dont think anything is wrong with that. If i am praying for a loving man, and then I start dating a guy who is just rude and has an attitude even though he is strong in the spirit real, I'm sorry I cant handle it. What do you think Jazzy? Did this help?

[@victoryfejokwu6413]

Jazzy Jae An elder in my church explained it to me like this. There is a "one" for every season of your life if you happen to need it. Let's take Ruth for example, she was married but widowed, still God gave her another husband (Boaz). Let's also take the issue of the person who is "the one" not wanting to marry the other, in that case God can raise up another person who will equally be able to help the person walk in purpose and fulfill the call of God on their life. That's why there isn't just one person. But, God has provided someone for you and he will confirm that person to you if you ask him too when the time draws near. So in short, I do believe God has someone that is his will for us, but in case something happens he can always raise up another.

[@opentrailentertainment4487]

Cole labrant made a video about godly dating and explains things so well. I recommend it.

[@edwardbaker4824]

godly dating is a oxymoron....dating is completely from the world, not God, however, there is hope....courting

[@keisha5542]

🖤

[@kelleyturner2238]

I don't agree look at Derrick Princes story he was a great deliverance minister he had a great work to do. Now obediences is the answer some are not obedient thus he is not completely glorified. There is his permissive will and perfect will.

[@stayrosy1852]

So if ur with someone and they refuse to go to church with you and choose to work instead at a job when they dont have too...which you are starting to find church recently very crucial...do u think you should end it?

[@ultraplusmusic6101]

But not every Christian serve the same God/Jesus Christ. There are many denominations.

[@salamiometere2979]

Thank you so much, very very inspiring..... Buh my question is, can a Muslim who has found Christ marry a man who is a Muslim, even though this man treats you better than the Christians you have met and also motivates you in the things of God

[@Jenrasp]

Salami Ometere the Bible is very clear about not marring an unbeliever, especially Muslim. So no, Islam is very different from Christianity. Completely different religion.

[@salamiometere2979]

Thanks for your response

[@missfavoured]

Salami Ometere well, the bible rather puts it into a question. However, if advice you to patan from it because you don't believe in the same deity. This would be a disadvantage for your relationship, upbringing of your children and the entire relationship journey. I've witnessed one person doing this. And no, they aren't together anymore. Pray about it and hope in God.

[@TigoTigo-hl1kc]

[@thingsilove18]

Great video! If you guys are still looking for topic ideas could you give your opinion on this: Have I made my boyfriend an idol or is it okay that I think about him constantly. I strive to maintain my relationship with God and ensure He is first always and, although I would be disappointed if we marry or I never marry anyone, I know that I would be fine with God. So it's not like I think the man completes me or anything like that. I just find myself thinking about him a lot. Like all day and frankly it scares me lol. Was this something you guys experienced during your courtship or even now (I know you guys are still newlyweds)? Thanks.

[@antwandawson1631]

Yeah... How are you doing today my friend... I hope you're having a delightful week I guess so

[@peaceakadinma3136]

Numbers 36:6.... same Here! I don't believe in that "the one" complex

[@Simtasticgallery]

Write a blog for this, write a blog for this please :D (I would love to share it but I need the transcription of this) or at least a summary to post it! (I will tag you I don’t usually share anything but if people believe or not believe in God) this isn’t a pretty good topic you know what I mean? Hope you guys don’t mind! :D I also love the no lust challenge, you should do (as a suggestion) monthly challenges :) greetings from Costa Rica :)

I think that person has to have the same vision as you.
