I just started praying for my future husband. Such a good practice! I was gifted a book of 31 prayers (one for each day). The authors stated that it is necessary and transformative to keep praying FOR one another and with one another, so might as well start now! Praying you find the woman in your dreams Josh. Personally, I gotta give up marriage as an idol, fall in love with Jesus on an intimate/true known level. I know God is faithful according to Matthew 6:33 and the promises He’s revealed to me, so I’m dusting off any last bit of worry or anxiety. I’m sure it all happen soon & in its right timing

[@lexireddoch492]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I really feel encouraged because I know I'm not the only one with the desire for marriage. I always hated sharing about my desire to get married because of peoples' comments. Many people act as if marriage is just being tied down to another person. I also pray for all of you single ladies out there who are waiting for God to provide the right man at the right time.

[@ChristianBevereAuthor]

It's such a larger vision than just a ring and a title-one worth stewarding with prayer! Love that you're keeping true to it and praying for others.

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

A Baptist minister told me his wife starting praying for a husband when she was 15. The prayer was to keep him safe and worthy to marry her. They married years later. The prying should not be for selfish reasons.

[@therealdial]

This was so life giving to me. Thank you SO much Hope and Christian! It’s so refreshing to see two beautiful, successful women, one single and one married speaking about this. I feel like I never get to hear from the POV of someone still single, and waiting on the Lord so this truly blessed me. I will continue to not settle and be joyful in the waiting for God’s best for me. Thank you ladies!!!🤍

Thank you soo much for saying that. It's so wrong when non-singles and others say, 'don't make it an idol.' I do feel ashamed because of some negative remarks. I'll be 50 next year. I do feel so sad. I know it will happen but it's been hard. I have been praying for my husband as God told me, but I need to continue. As well, this has been one of the best videos I've watched as a single preparing for marriage.

Hi Marilyn! I wanted to share something that I hope is encouraging :) my grandma turns 68 in a little less than a month and has been single for years- she met a man last spring and just got engaged (their wedding is set for next summer) She has been praying for him for years- even when His timing doesn’t make sense I take encouragement in this and remember that His plans far exceed what I think the timeline should be

[@danilaroche1156]

​Yes. I'm past 60 and met a great brother.

[@JJ-gw9vs]

I like what she says at 25:00 All my life I've been told that I am too intimidating. At that time I was not chasing God wholeheartedly as I am now. I also didn't even understand or know if I wanted marriage due to my parent's divorce. But in my mid to late 20's God put that desire in my heart (marriage). My grandfather told me "The man that wants you is going to have to be strong." I am going to now think in this manner. Instead of feeling sad, I need to realize that God made me a strong woman for a strong man. And I should patiently wait to meet him. I am 33 by the way 😊 God's plan is imminent.

[@genesissings7437]

Christian, you are geninuely so beautiful inside and out. I have loved hearing from any of the Beveres. I am 22 and I just started getting into dating right before I turned 22 a couple months ago. I personally didn’t want to date until I felt more ready for marriage so I haven’t even kissed or anything yet. Honestly I’ve had great honorable experiences so far but haven’t exactly found someone who I like back or who likes me back when I like them in dating. I try to remain patient without dealing with hope deferred. Thank you for your videos! I love them !!

This was such a fun video and incredibly encouraging. It confirms a couple of things the Lord started placing on my heart, such as walking in our identities before marriage. The note on make-up names is spot on and I've previously never considered the spiritual implications behind them. Words are so important and what we tie ourselves to matters. Thank you ladies for such a lovely episode. God bless.

19:10 “ from insecure to servant hearted”. I love that! I was somehow both in service and insecure lol. However, God is brought me to situations that showed me the source of my joy/willingness to serve/Stepping into identity

[@livywithane]

25:00 Thanks so much for talking about that bc I had a guy I was pursuing (I know I shouldn’t have been doing that) and he eventually told me I was intimidating, and I was too confrontational. That made me pause and reflect on myself. Am I this? That has made me grow so close with God and to show that if a guy thinks this way about me they’re definitely not the one because a guy shouldn’t be scared of me, they’re supposed to grow with me.

[@jess77surfs]

I think you're missing an opportunity by choosing young women to speak about this season of singleness.. I think it would be more of a benefit to have a woman who's been waiting decades for a spouse.. Then you would showcase what true endurance of patients would be and you would reach a larger demographic of single women. Women over 30 are going to check out when they see 20 somethings speaking to this journey because it's not really a journey at that point and it doesn't affect a person the way it does in a longer waiting season. 🙏

[@airplane800]

I was in church the other day talking to some guys between 27 and 32 years old. They were talking about how hard it is to date in the church. One of them was rejected 5 times asking girls out. I've talked to some girls, and they say the same. After some research I realized that the guys like only 3 popular girls in the church and the girls like only 3 popular guys in the church. It is always about being attractive and rich. I wish church was different, but girls go after the jerks, marry the wrong guys and then we need lots of KZbin videos, sermons and books to fix something that they would never need to fix if they had married someone more compatible. Being from a prominent Christian family it really helps. Women in church say that they are looking for certain qualities, but they lie. They are after the nice looking, rich and popular guys. Church is high school all over again. There are even bullies. I was bullied in church because I liked a certain woman.

I would also like to see more Christian women as well encourage to those ladies out there who feel marriage is not for them but feel pressured bc everyone only talks about marriage being the epitome. But throughout history, singleness in the form of Consecrated Virginity, or being a nun/sister, or just singleness but your career is your vocation was highly valued. In fact, st. Cyril said to the first Christian women virgins “you already have become what we shall be in heaven” meaning Celibacy is not ontologically (that is, in itself) a more perfect state, but it is an eschatologically more advanced state, in the sense that it is more like the definitive state towards which we are all journeying. 🙏🏼 Marriage is beautiful but I’m saddened don’t hear about these other vocations that use to be so valued too by Christian’s 🙏🏼

[@benrex7775]

I once listened to the podcast where a woman said, since women are the helper of men, that implies men are completely boorish and completely require women to guide their work and resources so that it can be any good. Thank you for not speaking about men that way. --- Guys talking the talk on dates, can come from various sources. - Some guys love the presence and affirmation of women. I can't speak of their motives as I have never talked to one of them for long enough to understand their perspective. It may be the case that they find women intimidating, because they generally put women on pedestal. - Some guys don't actually care and just want to hook up. They say whatever gets a woman to hook up with him. If you make it clear (especially through actions) that you only consider marriage then they shouldn't be much of a problem. They will also say that a woman is intimidating. But their motive is to reject you while keeping you a phone call away for fleshly ways. And apparently the best way to do that is to tell women that they are so great that a mere man can't compare. And in todays age the buzzword for that is "you are so strong and independent that you are intimidating". A subcategory of those guys are the eternal daters who never want to make the step for marriage. If they always delay then you have to give a timeline and if they don't follow it through then you have to go different ways. Sharing the same goals in marriage is essential for marriage. So even if he seems perfect, he obviously isn't. - Then there are the guys who neither are driven by the desire to have affirmation from women nor just want to have the quick fleshly ways. I'm one of those guys. For us it is not that easy. When we listen to the people around us then it seems to be a requirement to flatter women to even be noticed. But we can't flatter too much, or else we are considered as weak or creepy. I value intimacy highly and I don't want to just give it away for every woman I find mildly attractive. With intimacy I also mean stuff like flirting or other non-platonic actions. But how can I show interest in a woman while giving enough to her so that she actually feels appreciated by me and at the same time so that I respect my desire to keep various forms of intimacy for marriage? This is also a skill to be learned, but if you are not driven by some desire to constantly seek out relationship with women, then it is difficult to learn those skills. --- This may be just selection bias, but I have never heard a guy say that he is intimidated by a successful woman. I've heard that men of my grandparents generation felt their pride hurt, if they had to rely on the wife for the finances. But I have not heard of them being intimidated. What I've heard are the following three: - Women who usually say that men are intimidated by them are not actually single because they are intimidating. They are single because they act like a dude and they either have an aggressive or repelling character. - The woman is high maintenance and just not worth the effort as she gives back way less than what the man has to put into her. - Women with a high status job often want a man who either has a job with the same status or one with higher status. Or at least they want to have a husband who has the potential to get there. I find that desire understandable, but there are two problems. 1) For one, if you have feminism that wants to make men and women equal in the workplace, then it is statistically impossible that most women will get a man that is of equal or higher status than them. 2) Also men and women evaluate status differently. For women being in a leading position and having high academic achievement means high status. For a man that is not necessarily high status. A senior plumber who makes 100k a year and is a good family father is much more respected by men than a branch manager who got a phd in gender theory. Reason for that is that for a man it is a low status sign, if you are in heavy debt and your job is basically a luxury that companies keep around as long as times are good. That's also the reason why more and more men stop going to collage and instead do trade schools. At least those men who are willing to go somewhere and not just enjoy life in mothers basement while they game. Most men nowadays don't care about career. That's something women care about. The only reason why at least the men I know and listen to may care about a woman's career is either because it shows she prioritizes capitalism/status over family, or because she is statistically considerably more likely to divorce him. You mentioned that a husband has a vision for his future and how a wife and her career can fit into it. For one it is not easy to have a vision for your life in your early adulthood. But if that is his actual motivation then you as a woman may want to consider how well your career actually can fit into someone elses vision. If you are a strong driven woman who has a career that requires a lot of effort, then chances that you will find a husband who has a vision that your career can be incorporated is pretty low. With that I don't want to say that every woman who uses the word intimidating has to be one of those three. But those are the women who usually use those words most frequently and I also think this is the origin and core of the phrase. I belief that other women who use it just picked it up from those women as it is being used so much. --- When it comes to cooking I just wing it. I have a number of fresh ingredients and I try to reproduce whatever meal I want to eat now. If the meal is good enough that I may want to recreate it at a later date, I write it into a word document.

I've been happily married now for 29 years. The guranteed way of meeting your appointed spouse is to pray daily for him/her long BEFORE ever meeting them. The when, the where and the how you meet, leave to the Holy Spirit. In addition, set apart at least TWO days a week for praying and fasting for your spouse! Do this, and within 12 Months you will meet your appointed spouse. This will NOT work if you have been divorced. The reason being you're still married before God. Only death can dissolves the marraige covenant. Why does the above work? Because the Holy Spirit sees a married couple as ONE person and works round the clock to direct the steps of both the male and female to meet each other.

?? Even though it is not God’s will in the Bible He has allowed divorce when there is sexual immorality during marriage.

[@dunamis333]

@@thepracticalchristianhealed In these Last Days of the Church Age it's so easy to find churches that will feed you lies as truths with regards to the marriage covenant. Only corrupt and perverted churches teach that it's perfectly fine to remarry after divorce, especially if you're not the one who cheated. Churches that make up the Bride of Christ do not teach this lie that originated in the pit of hell. They teach the Truth of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” [Mark 10:11,12] When a man and a woman make a covenant before God to marry until death, it means exactly that. Only the death of one of them can dissolve the marriage covenant. The covenant they both make before God is inscribed on their very souls. If the man commits adultery against his wife or visa versa the marriage covenant will be defiled but not dissolved. Men and women don't enter into a marriage covenant on the understanding that they'll dissolved it if one or both of them commit adultery. Christian Couples really need to pay more attention to the vows they're making before God on their wedding Day. Because the sin of adultery cannot break the marriage covenant, but can only defile it, the Lord told the married woman, who was caught in the act of adultery to: "...go and sin no more.” [John 8:11] In other words, the Lord told her to stop defiling her marriage covenant but instead to remain faithful to her own husband. The "fornication clause" many are using as an excuse to remarry only applied to betrothed wives in Jewish times! A betrothed couple waited for about a Year before they consummated their marriage. If within that Year the betrothed wife committed fornication, the betrothed husband could "divorce" her to marry someone else. This is what Joseph wanted to do when he thought Mary had committed fornication not adultery. "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery..." [Matt.19:9] After a marriage has been consummated, if a spouse then commits adultery, a separation, not divorce, is permitted. If the spouse repents, however, a reconciliation must be sought. If he or she doesn't repent and goes off to marry someone else, the innocent spouse must remain unmarried and continue to pray for a reconciliation. This may or may not happen. "Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife." [1 Cor.7:10,11] "But if the unbelieving spouse separates himself, let him be separated. In circumstances like these, the brother or sister is not enslaved - God has called you to a life of peace." [1Cor.7:15] This is another verse many Christians use to support remarriages. They're reading into the text something that is not there. The brother or sister not being enslaved simply means that the brother or sister are no longer able to function in the capacity as a husband or a wife any longer, because their respective spouses have chosen to leave. For we get married to be enslaved, in a good sense, to our spouses! "And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness...present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness...But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God" [Rom.6:18,19,22] Being enslaved to our spouses means being a slave of righteousness for holiness. It means being a slave of God. You really have to twist the Scriptures to conclude that not being enslaved means you're free to remarry if your spouse leaves. This is confirmed to not be the case. For in the very next verse Paul places the responsibility of saving the spouse who has left in the hands of the husband or wife, who are to remain unmarried. "For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?" [1 Cor.7:16] A husband or a wife cannot pray with a pure heart before God, for the salvation of a spouse who has left, if they're committing adultery, in an unlawful marriage, with someone else. What so many Christians don't realize is that the Lord Jesus Christ is using the marriage covenant to separate the wheat from the chaff in the Church before the Rapture. This is why it's so important for Christians to choose their spouses very very carefully. Because, unlike the World, we have only one chance to get it right. And if we blow it we may have to spend the rest of our lives alone in order to remain within God's perfect will.

@@dunamis333So if a husband cheats on his wife and has a baby with another woman, I still gotta stay with him???? You’re not saying this to attempt to regulate polygamy or cheating, are you?

[@dunamis333]

@@afrofaeries By all means, leave if you so wish, but don't expect to remarry without becoming an adulterous woman before God. The real work, from the jump, is choosing a man who wouldn't cheat!

Ezer Kenegdo at 9:00. It is not a help meet or help mate like many Christians believe. In ancient Hebrew the term means "a woman in opposition to" the man. Women are not supposed to be like a man. Orthodox Judaism understands this better than evangelical Christianity.

What's your take on a single woman whose been waiting for more on a decade?

[@danilaroche1156]

I was married 17 years ago. Waiting to remarry Godly man since then. That's a long time! Sarah waited a long time. It's God's timing. Be obedient and align in His will...I'm confident you'll marry.

[@antelopea1781]

What do you mean about husband's Bible?

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

The danger when dating is you obsess with the concept of marriage. That becomes the focus of the relationship. Marriage should not even be discussed early in a relationship. That can come later if you find a suitable partner.

[@danilaroche1156]

Dating is worldly.

Is there a such thing as a single woman?

[@cherubin7th]

Women should better pray to not always be backstabbers. This is why good guys stay away from this.

[@marilynkhasnabish7407]

You need to heal as you have been hurt just as hurt women need to pray for healing.

I really need to get deep with Jesus one day

[@ChristianBevereAuthor]

@@FlorenceLunsford-sk2nj that door is always open! He is so faithful when we call on Him to free and teach us how to overcome anything we’re facing. Keep going deep with Him, I’m proud of you

When you truly believe JESUS IS GOD then the Holy stays in you forever ! Jesus said : I and Father are One (John 8:30) Jesus Said : Before Abraham was born, I AM ( John 8:58 ) 👍😁

[@danilaroche1156]

Well tell Him that!

Did you realize that you cursed you own son by saying that he's never getting maried, he has to stay with me. God and Satan do not joke, the spiritual realm does not joke. So please stop joking cursing your loved ones.

Instead of begging God. Count it as done! Say "Lord thank you for my spouse "! Faith moves the Lord.

This was the encouragement I really needed to hear. Ive been self accepting lately trying to live with the possibility of being alone. Im only 33 but it feels like forever and like I’ll never find my person and the bitter remarks from others who haven’t done there own self healing or chose the wrong mate and have nothing but negative comments to say is discouraging. But I love the biblical example with Hannah. I’ve never looked at it that way. My hope has now been renewed. Thank you ladies so much from the bottle of my heart! Agape! ❤🩷
