Thanks for stopping by my channel. My name is Sheeba. My goal with this channel is to encourage people in their walk with Christ. I want to show people that following Jesus is not boring :)
Sounds a bit braggy. I guess humility goes out of style after the I do's. Thankfully now you're married is right!! Thank God you didn't have to wait until you were 40 or older, how absolutley TRAGIC that would have been! 🙄 Congratulations on crossing that ever so necessary marriage finish line before you became an old spinster with shriveled up eggs & a houseful of cats. 34, whew 💦 just under the wire
"She's really hot" 😂😂 it's so refreshing to see Christian's with a good sense of humor not taking themselves too seriously. (Also you are beautiful!) But just wanted to thank you for making this video; I am 31 and still single and have felt so alone watching all my friends get married, buy houses and go on trips with their spouse, and start to have kids and grow this life together while I'm still going on bad first dates. Like you said, watching other women who have been through the same thing has been really encouraging, especially someone who is single in their 30s since it's so common to get married young in the Christian world! I've had some serious doubts and struggles feeling like God just forgot about me but recently I had a resurgence of faith and I've never felt more excited and at peace knowing it's in God's hands!
The white parts of the napa cabbage is crunchy and the green parts are more soggy. It’s a little bit spicy, mostly sweet with that tangy fermented flavor. That’s the best I can describe it I hope it helps. Maybe buy one of those small cans of kimchi at the store (not the best but it’s like a preview of the flavor), or just go to a Korean restaurant and try the kimchi there. Most people like it but if you don’t like fermented food you won’t like it honestly
I don’t like how you’re saying God misleads. I mean I get what you’re saying and that it feels so at times, but a new believer might be listening to this and think that God does that. The enemy is the one who brings confusion and misleads.
My fiancé is 41, looks like she’s 25, and I love everything about her. I’m the lucky one lol I look like a 3/10 but it’s because of the Lord that we see past our appearances and look to the heart. Praise the Lord we are getting married in a few months 🙏
I am a Muslim but I like to hear the stories of the prophets that we share. In the end, God's challenges can be to elevate us, not to punish us. and sometimes we have to meet certain people to learn certain lessons. Just because God leads us to that decision doesn't mean he's going to be our husband. bless you, you have a great gift for explaining the word of God.
A beautiful love story... I watched your 7 day fast video first then came across this one. Wow what a wonderful God, you have been faithful and God is granting you all you deserve. Congratulations to you and your husband! You're a Mrs With love from 🇿🇦💖
I watched your other videos as well, especially your video 'I thought he was the one... is he from God or not?' and I was amazed to find that our journey is very, very similar. The only 2 key differences is that I am not married yet, and I'm now 37. I have, to be honest, 'given up' at one point and at the peak of my disappointment, I also cried out to God that maybe He had wanted me to be celibate instead. But I still have the desire to be married so I believe the Lord isn't done with my story. While I am in the waiting phase now, I have totally surrendered to the Lord right now and I am VERY at peace (previously even though I kept saying I surrendered to the Lord, but actually my heart was raging with anxiety!) Another fun fact - the name, 'Ivan' is quite raw for me because he was the one I thought the Lord had for me. haha! But well, different from your Ivan, 'my Ivan' made me feel like I had to always prove my worth, I was always there for him for his down moments to support him and be there for him, but he was not for me for my down moments where I needed support from him. I was very crushed and disappointed with him because he never kept his promises and I snapped one day because I realized that he did not even give me the basic respect as one probably should for another person. Even though I did think I saw a vision from the Lord about him, well, visions can come from both sides. But through this experience, Jesus showed me that I had idolized marriage and 'Ivan' too. Anyway, I'm at a place now where I am contented to walk alone with the Lord, and I was really humbled through that emotionally traumatic experience. I just don't think someone I ultimately have to 'prove my worth' to someone who the Lord has for me, and also need to convince him that I can be loved, for I am the Lord's precious daughter, ok! No need to 'prove' anything to anyone. :) Well, just felt like sharing this with you and also, thanks for also sharing these videos. :)
Thank you for sharing your experience. The waiting season is never easy and the hardest part is not know when God will come through. Praying for you. I have known people who got married at 38 & 40. You shouldn’t feel like you need to prove your worth. I pray God to bring the right person into your life
It also falls into place from the enemy, whirlwind romance to a 'pastor' married so quickly, but his mask fell once trapped. I fled everything for safety, after repenting. I ignored the red flags as I thought everything was running so perfectly, it must be God?! 😢
I absolutely love the way you put through, I've just gone through the same thing. It's so painful, sometimes am so ashamed of myself for having feelings for him to read his mind wrongly. He told me he just considered me as sister in christ and told me not to write to him often anymore! It's so painful.
Yes it can feel very very embarrassing and I would often wonder Lord your word says “my sheep hear my voice” why does it feel like I’m getting it wrong so many times. It’s part of the journey! Keep trusting and pushing through
1. There is no such thing as “the one”. 2. If you want to marry someone ask God first, set boundaries. Anyone who is draining your spirit should not be in your life. 3. There is no perfect human being. 4. Ask yourself, are you being delusional here. What are you putting aside, shoving under the rug or sacrificing for this person? 5. Ask God to guide you. 6. Learn about what Love is, learn from God what love is. 7. Seek discernment, seek the Holy Spirit of God. 8. Do not be obsessed with the worlds, superficial, ignorant idea of Love.. 9. Do you know yourself as an individual, are you trying to learn about yourself and respect yourself? 10. Are you ready for commitment, boundaries, true love, honesty, a journey shared with another, and learning? There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be in love but I just wonder if people know what love is….
Limerence is a problem in the Christian community. We get so desperate for marriage that we obsess over a person that the devil whispers in our ear about instead of testing the spirit. If you are confused, God is not the author of confusion. If this has made you angry at God and wanting to be away from Him, it's not God.
What I’ve experienced is we will have interactions with people we feel are the ones to uncover hidden wounds that prevent us from being in complete union with ourselves. The more healed we are, whole and complete, the better partners we attract. God uses other people to bring up these things that need to be examined, uprooted and healed. These people may have similar wounds or on similar paths healing similar things. It would suck to meet the man god prepared for us and not be prepared for him. So give thanks to the one that is not the one, that means you’re closer than you were before
Ughh I love this so much! The guy I feel God is preparing for me I have not yet dated, and when I look back on how things never got a chance to us dating I am so thankful. Because where I met him in my life I was definitely not prepared, and although we both have big hearts he was not prepared either I feel. But God has been working on us both separately, and it’s amazing how God has welcomed him back into my life in the way that he did. I asked God to send my husband even if I could not date him right away, and that I’d go through the process with him, I just wanted him in my life and to know who he was. God sent him, and over time has been confirming who he is in interesting ways. I am seeing that God had stalled us because when we met it wasn’t yet our time. He wanted to introduce us to come back later together and give our testimony later down the line. Right now I am seeing the process that I have to sit and wait through, but it’s so worth it for what I believe is to come of this.
And the purpose of Joseph's journey was for Christ. It was to preserve life, and most especially, to preserve Judah and his lineage as Judah was the vessel whom God chose and used to bring forth the Messiah Jesus to save us all.
My boyfriend just broke up with me after we’d just gone on vacation together and talked about marriage and having a family. And then he texted me saying he couldn’t continue the relationship and God had told him this… I thought God was telling me he was the one…it all felt so real and so true… it’s been so hard processing this. I’m 32 and very discouraged about finding the right man…please pray for me
Maybe this will help: I noticed and maybe God was showing me this; I put more faith in people than in God even when I didn't think that's what I was doing. God will never let you down, just please communicate with him. I pray for spiritual discernment and wisdom and it helps. With God anything is possible. God cares about you and is there for you. Reach out to God. Pray in Jesus's name. If God can reach me when I was agnostic, He can surely help you. Sending you lots of love.
I feel you I has the same situation even now .I had to let it go and trust God I know It hurt but God knows what he is doing I have been pray for Him and bless him now I feel so much peace
Have faith, God will bring you your spouse as 'it is not good that man should be alone' (Genesis 2:18). Pray, fast if you can and ask God for guidance. He could be putting you through a wilderness season to heal, stretch, strengthen and cleanse your spirit in time for you to meet the one he ordained for you. Don't be discouraged! God loves you and doesn't want you to be alone <3 Matthew 6:33: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
This blessed me! God is so good and so faithful. Thank you, sis! I’m actually a fairly new RU-vidr myself. Just recorded my next video yesterday and touched on the importance of our need to come to the Lord bare. Broken, needy, discouraged.. whatever it may be. That’s exactly where and how he strengthens us. God bless you! Excited to see what the Lord does with your RU-vid ministry 🙏🏽
Giirrrl been in the same boat, very similar experiences. Had this situation also not once but multiple times. Very brave and inspiring of you to share this ❤ it helps me enormously
It took me some time to share this as it can be embarrassing but when I was single I would watch a bunch of encouraging videos and they would fill me with hope & I wanted to do the same for others. Thank you for your encouraging comment!
would you say Hannah in the Bible had idolatry for a child because she was barren or Rebecca or Sarah? Idolatry is pursuing a husband instead of God; here I pursue God for a husband!
You don’t know the word enough obviously to say you were misled by God. You are led by you own lust and desires. You are missing something with the men you are allowing in your life. Maybe you want a relationship so much that you aren’t waiting and seeking to send that man. Many women have made that mistake including myself, but I have learned my lesson. You are beautiful and you love God and I pray you will find the man of God meant for you.
To clarify I said - It sometimes feels like you're being misled by God. I never said God actually misleads people it can feel that way. Just like in Psalms David says he's forgotten by God. God is so gracious that he sent an amazing husband into my life & I believe it was because I faithfully sought the Lord instead of pursuing my own desires- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mrb3j0NEATU.html
Hi Derick, I am so sorry you are in this situation, surround yourself with good Godly community because it's easy to become prey to the enemy. This too shall pass.
Amen! Don't give up hope. It is hard to wait. I would recommend you watch this video on 3 tips to thrive a as a single woman: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nQpK6jzcyu0.html
How does your story parallel Joseph's? His dream actually came to pass while the one you thought was the one ended up not being him. I dont mean to be rude, its just that the one i keep receiving confirmations about doesnt seem to be haappening and i told God i wont marry if its not her bc of so many confirmations..
Many people have been deceived by the devil thinking it’s God and have left Him because of it, instead of seeking answers from Him so that He can reveal that it was the work of the devil. So it’s good that we think about God first and then seek Him even in our blindness, frustration and pain. We seek even when we think that He’s the cause of our pain. That to me is beautiful and really shows how true Romans 8:38-39. That nothing a separate us from Him, not even the devils ploys to get us to blame God for our pain and deception. We are His and we can’t be snatched out of His hand ❤️
This all reminds me of Job. Job 1:9-12 “So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.”
I just came out of a situation like this and one thing i learnt is that God doesn't lie, nor does he mislead, but our unchecked desires are deceitful and can lead us astray [James 1: 14]. This is why it's important to, yes, test the Spirit but to also hear God's voice in community by genuinely seeking out Godly counsel. We are not above self deception no matter how seasoned we think we may be in our faith, our desires for marriage are not wrong but can be extremely harmful when they are unsubmitted to the sovereignty and timing of the Lord. I loved the example of Joseph, though!!
I love this so much. I really thought someone was my future husband because of how many signs aligned and the perfect story but then things turned around and I felt like I couldn’t trust Him, like how can I hope for a future husband and think this one is the one when God has turned around His thoughts with other guys! Thanks for talking abt this
totally understand, I stopped trying to looking for signs & interpret them & came to a point where I was like God if its from you make it work out if not, then it won't.
@@sheebachatswow does this work in early stages to when meeting someone and seeing if they are even interested? I’m definitely going to try this now: no more overthinking the signs! Just let it be!
@@MelySarai16this is an interesting scripture “If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared.” Deut 18:22 So simply the only way we know its from the Lord is if it comes to pass
But can we also say that God doesn't lie about some situations. God can be leading you to someone that is right but you know that it takes two people to tangle. God can speak to someone and that person can reject his counsel. It happens a lot. I read a story of a guy who said God lead him to a lady friend but he said he wasn't interested and went on to date another person. Two years after he returned to obey God after his relationship failed. He went to meet the lady friend and told her God was leading him to her and the lady admitted that she heard God two years ago but was waiting for him to come. Can you imagine? I want to believe that there are genuine leading by God that doesn't happen not because God wasn't true but the other party's wasn't interested or didn't play their part. If that man admitted God spoke it means it wasn't God's fault. I think God is more interested in you fulfilling his purpose. So if that person walked out that's their choice not your problem. Yes, it might take time again but if you keep trusting God will bring someone who finally agrees to follow his will and purpose. Everyone has a free will. God will not impose his will. Aside from the devil's manipulations and attacks we have our freewill. We can accept God's will or not. So many people are married to their will not Gods that's why we have so many messed up marriages. People not meant to be marrying each other. Mismatched marriages. My take is just continue to trust God who brought the last person will bring another person in the right time. God is still good!! Humans will be humans!!
I disobeyed god. I knew God wants me to not smoke weed. I continued and I’m losing everything because of it. God I know you love me, I trust you and love you. Amen
