David Thomspson Amen Brother I’m at that point to, as it says I’m James what is your life? But it’s like a vapor that’s here today and gone tomorrow... I’m 47 and in my heart The Lord would have to REALLY speak to my heart otherwise, this is a true story, a year ago the Lord changed direction in my life, told me to move several properties and move to the country, I told my wife the whole time, when we found the property I knew in my heart it was it, at closing when we got the address it was 7772!!! The Lord I believe gave me that so I would know I was in His perfect will because 3 weeks ago my wife informed me she was taking her 2 children and leaving they wouldn’t be going with me!!! The Lord spoke to my heart about doing something for Him winning souls... she left me, blocked me on her phone, I have no clue where she is, who she’s with or anything... I have a C-7 spinal cord injury and in a wheelchair, You know what most people do when they separate right?? I don’t have to elaborate??... not me I am seeking God!! I refuse to date only work and home setting up the farm he told me to do.. she pretty much abandoned me which is fine I have family brother mom dad at the farm.. somethings not right as I asked her to please not leave and let’s go to counseling, she left, I contacted her twice to ask.. your a believer in Christ but you won’t go to counseling?? Because she had asked me to go like a year ago.. she blocked me everything, there’s odviously something going on behind the scenes.. it seems to me there’s no loyalty or respect in relationships anymore

Amen.

@@chrisparker007 It sounds like she was cheating on you. Find out, get a divorce and have peace. NPD is rampant, as in the days of Noah.

I almost skipped it too 😂😂😂. But it's a good one

Ahahah scary title 👀👀👀😂😂😂😂😂😂

I had a desire to get married. But honestly it doesnt matter what we desire bc many people still desire certain things like marriage and dont get married. Not everyone will marry.

😂😂

So true hahahahah. I clicked out of curiousity

I agree. I am in my 60s now, and never had a successful relationship that would have led to a good marriage. I am not lonely, have a great church family, and absolutely love the peace I am experiencing with this single situation.

God bless you both , I am a 28 year old Catholic woman and I really really am starting to feel / think the same way ....singleness is absolutely a blessing and not a burden. Celibacy is a blessing and I'm gonna pray all 3 of us are able to see our Lord's beautiful face 🙏🏻✝️☦️🕊️

Amen Amen 🙌🙏 I can relate

lol! I had a feeling people might feel that way :) don't worry, if you want to be married that is a good sign you are not called to pursue a life of singleness :)

ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger I am dancing now! 💥🙌😍🙏

Bryan Prather I was afraid also to watch this video , but since I know that I will soon meet the lady God wants me to marry (He told me so), I decided to watch it anyways. And it didn't change anything for me.

I've still never recovered from the realisation that I'm not to covet women!!!!! It means I'm too scared to masturbate!!!!!

Loool ...Bryan you are too funny!👈 🤣 #I like that you were BOLD to say it though 👍 (btw I'm still crackin up Hahaaa!!) . Mr. AGW, thank you for blessing us immensely!

God is good!

ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger He sure is!!

Aaron Lance lol

@Aaron Lance lmaoooo how bout u and me instead? im down to it😂

@Aaron Lance alrighty, my new hubby😍😂

I feel you on that... all I've considered so far has turned not to be serious about Christianity... sigh the search continues.

As a female you should have your pick . I hope you find the right one sis .

@Harrison Dudley It ended up being a blessing in disguise for me..

405 boy, I know what you mean. I was on several dating websites at the beginning of the year. Every guy I met, I prayed and asked the Lord to show me the true person. God always showed me their true intentions. Always bad. But like another person said, it was a great blessing in disguise. It hurt but I am glad I found out early before my feelings developed. Praise God for His leading.

@@msBbee-oq7im Great testimony..👍👍

@may day Yeah it's a blessing. I already have kids too so that would've been bad..

405 BOY thank you for this

Amen!

*SMH...* I often times think that is the case with a lot of “Christian relationships”.

@@seekinghimdaily92 why so?

Wow. U didn't need him. He was too controlled by his desires anyway. He sounds like he would have married u and cheated anyway

Anytime a guy says that he wants a no sex relationship watch out . Its in our (guys) nature to want sex . That guy was just a test sis don't let that effect your next relationship and I hope god shines a light on the right man for you .

I'm not afraid. I know my season is for life.

Still single?

Yoo same here lol

Yes at Sheila Young

Facts

Amen!

Nathaniel riesterer beautiful 💛

lol! Glad it was relevant!

Lol. Me too. I kid you not. Loving it! Bahaha

Story of my life😂

Matthew Brown I think of it all the time myself lol.

God bless

Isn't everyone supposed to get married✔

Amen

@@Jackgritty28 no

@@light3347 Remember that most parents wanna become grandparents,disappointment for your parent if they don't become grandparents, that was the traditional way, back in those days💲✔

What does celibacy mean

@@MelB868 Celibacy means to abstain from sex.

How would you know if 1. applies if one were never married though?

@@Cloudforest811 You could look at what marriage entails :having kids (if you choose to) and taking care of them, having to please your husband and the focus and obligations u have to ur family if u can compare that to being single and not having to do those things so you'd have more time to serve God better. U can gauge and analyze if it would work for you through that.

​@debonaesimpson3742 Any person would have more time to devote to God if they're single. The issue is with contentment of making yourself a eunuch for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. As Matthew 19:12 teaches us there are various types of eunuchs. All of them can choose to serve the Lord for the sake of the Kingdom even if they did not choose to become a eunuch.

Thanks for sharing this! God bless!

@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger GOD BLESS you too

I am on that path also... Blessings 🥰

DAPHNEY PRINCE Same here girl! 32 year old female here and I feel like a man would only be a distraction. Jesus is my husband, my best friend, my father, He’s everything I could ever need in life. Bless you sister!

@@Leah_Sakowicz amen sister hold on to JESUS CHRIST THE MAN GOD HAVE FOR YOU WILL LOVE YOU WILL PRAY WITH YOU AND HELL TREAT YOU LIKE A QUEEN YOURE GOD BLESS YOU SISTER

Are you a powerful woman of God?

Me too.

Me too

lol :)

I feel the same.

God bless!

You got an excellent point there!!!

Glad you enjoyed the video and it was relevant to you

Same for me. No one takes relationship serious anymore and I've been pretty happy being single.

I know Christian me who have sought marriage online Christian dating with women from other countries because they seem to take the commitment more seriously. I am not certain if it’s across the board. I do know two that married Filipino women and they have an amazing marriage and had not with their American wives. I have had terrible experiences here in marriage. Yes more than one. I’m about done with American women.

@@bprathe3205 i feel ya. The only way western women will change is if all men were completely done with them and just left them

Same here too. And I'm a man. I really just want a companion burning with desire to serve God that can push me to a more effective service. If we become romantically attracted, then we may later on marry, but sex and marriage should be "if" not necessary.

Same here!!

Me 2

@@IamGodSon Nothing wrong with that, you just don't have a high sex drive like me(I'm still single). According to stats, 20-30% of marriages are clinically sexually dead. So if you want a "sexless marriage, " you won't be alone in that...

Praise God, what an awesome testimony.

Amazing attitude to have 💕

Amen.

Wow! I can hear the joy in the Lord Jesus that you have come to know. I too have much baggage to unpack and ask for forgiveness from those I've hurt. But at my age I don't think I'll pursue marriage unless God makes it unmistakably clear.

What kind of job do you have? Three to four month vacations? Simple Jesus life? I don't think so...

@@user-dr7bx3uo6z I been a barber for 20 years I saved my money and I have worked in different states. Yeah what I mean is living with less instead of being bombarded by material things. The simple life. Girls never wanted me I always got rejected so now I just accompany my self. No one can do what I do so I broke from all people pulling me back. I go mountain biking all over America now.

I feel the same

Amen!

You never know, God might bring someone along in your future when you least expect it😉 God knows our true desires and hopes to fulfill them, all in his timing

I'm so glad it was helpful Wyatt! God bless!

lol! Glad it was helpful!

Amen!

My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it!

jennytravels I think the crux of the issue here is trusting God. And not only trusting Him, but believing He put those desires in your heart to fulfill them. The enemy wants you to believe God is holding out on you. This is not true. God is committed to doing what is best for your life. I admit it’s tempting to think God won’t provide a spouse, as it’s not specifically addressed in the Bible. But if we look at the life of Christ, we see a God who is intimately familiar with us and our struggles. He will not fail you, sister. He may not do things on your timetable, but He will always bring to completion what He has begun in your life. Rest in His love.

@@KevvoLightswift thanks very much.

@@zzzleepie I feel ya! I had the same concern about the world being too evil to bring children into, but God challenged me why I couldn't trust that His blessings addeth no sorrow. If He blesses me with a husband and kids, He's the same one who'll protect and nurture them. I now have no worries; all our lives are in His hands and His promises will be fulfilled in my bloodline in Jesus' name.

@@zzzleepie you're so right! This world is very wicked💯.

This is a choice you have to make , GOD never make choices for you, you have free will to do as you desire...stay close to HIM and worship HIM and HE will give you the desires of your heart...but note marriage is no fairytale and it consumes you, be careful as you decide this matter.. study the book of proverbs to help you prepare..

I hope you enjoy it Sirena! God bless :)

Same here bro.

I love the Lord and He knows my heart he created me .... I’m not waiting on God I’m waiting in God ... and I pray that He have not called me to a life of singleness. I believe marriage is for purpose and if two ppl are living a purpose driven life and are committed to God and each other it’s a beautiful thing ... He created me and He knows me this is not my portion ... God’s time is the best time ....I’m somebody’s rib ijs

@Lelani Nelson Wow, you act like there is something wrong with what he said. It's quite natural for a man (Christian or not) to desire a woman. It's usually just a strong indicator that God does not intend for him to be single his whole life.

* a woman

@Lelani Nelson Why are you relating everything to sex and being carnal??? The desire for the opposite sex can be more than just sexual, it can be for companionship. That is completely natural, and as the video stated, it's properly a good indicator that someone's not destined for life long singleness.

Hey. Same here.

God bless you!!

I'm so glad you are enjoying it!

My pleasure!

Amen

Same!

I'm with you on this.

Sinéad Torres Biblically the concept of “The one” isn’t biblical neither is soulmates their may well be multiple people you are compatible with, that are Christians, to be clear however I’m not encouraging polygamy.

Dickheads Rebuked so I honestly don’t believe in soulmates either. However I do believe God has a exact plan for all of our lives. In Jeremiah it’s speaks of Gods plan before the world came into existence. There is nothing random or coincidence with God. Also being compatible is not an indicator that the particular person is Gods plan for your life. Also being compatible at 25 may not be compatible at 30. So God who sees in the distance has designed someone for every season you will go through. However if you say Ohhh there my perfect match now, 2 or 3 years from now, you might be looking at the worst decision of your life. A lot of it is Deciding to trust Gods plans and forsaking ours. It’s a choice, and choosing to be obedient or disobedient will ultimately change the trajectory of your life. Sorry for the long reply.

KeturahRenee Amen 🙏🏽I agree!

I'm glad you are so sure!

Oh, it's so deeply fulfilling in so many ways! I can't even begin to extol the virtues of singlehood. The depth, the richness when you focus on the Lord alone, the peace, the healing, the beauty of His presence is priceless. I cannot and will not exchange it for any earthly thing or something like marriage that will be no more in eternity. It boggles the mind that most do not know the richness and beauty of God's love, of His character. This is a taste of what it will be like in Heaven.

Yes I never understand why friends and family of people who decide they want to live as single adults refuse to accept their decision. They continue to badger you as if you are making a mistake and they're here to help you change your mind. Well I am single and that's my choice. I haven't had the opportunity to get to know the love of God as some, but it is my hope to learn that.

@@forgoogletotrack7181 You have to remember that God created marriage as a gift as well. Singles can't belittle those who marry any more than married people can belittle singles. However I agree many who do marry are not ready and not content in Christ Jesus. So they try to find that contentment in their partner instead of God.

God is good!

So glad it was helpful!

I'm so glad this was relevant!

@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger, thanks a lot mark. I was very much in love with this lady, but wasn't anxious to have sex with her. Does it mean I don't have a desire for sexual or have a call for celibacy?

I agree wholeheartedly with what you wrote. Amen.

Thank you and God bless!

All glory to God!

God bless!

I'm in the same boat somewhat Victoria. Please hang in there. We'll meet that special someone soon. I just now prayed for patience for you during this time of waiting.

Same here sis.

God bless you too! Glad this was helpful :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're so welcome!

God bless!

Your broken and only God can mend, your broken heart. Yes beloved of God, you will be toxic at this time to anyone. But that doesn’t mean that has to be the story of your life. God says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.... you can be made new. I am speaking from experience.. I also was in your position and I am in a season of healing! 😊 the Bible also says perfect love cast out fear. When you love Him perfectly, you will be able to love someone else perfectly. Be blessed

@@keturah1980 Thankyou! That's very encouraging! :)

Ditto

Me too!

Yeah thats not right the single arent a diseasw that needs to be fixed.

Dickheads Rebuked idk if this helps, Scripture says “His Will is our sanctification”... so to me that would mean.. if something causes you to sin, cut it off, if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out.. So if be single is causing you problems and struggles with your sanctification then it’s His will for you to marry, however if a person is in a marriage and that marriage is causing them be hindered in there sanctification and a spouse leaves, abandons you, and goes into another relationship breaking the covenant through sexual immorality then that’s probably something you need allow out of your life and pray the Lords will for the rest of your life.. I hope that helps some.. I tried

chris parker Amen, wise words friend, personally I kinda lean towards the idea that unless told otherwise God leaves it to us, but warns of two thing you already said one of them, the other is not loving anyone above or even equal to God, for if we do we are not worthy of God.

Dickheads Rebuked BE VERY CAREFUL, I got married and wasn’t on fire for God or His Word so my discernment was LOW to say the least, Now my wife says she’s a believer, got the Holy Spirit, that’s between her and God only He can judge that but I will say this, a year ago I cried out to God to set me free from deception and lukewarmness, I asked Him not to let me die like I was, retired sitting on my but with a remote in my hand doing nothing for Jesus, to please use these things to build treasure in heaven.. The Lord answered that prayer and began to birth something in my heart, He told me to LIQUIDATE a lot of those assets that I needed to move to a bigger piece of land to be self sustainable it’s gonna get bad, He pushed me for 3 months I know it was His will so I began to move in faith, well the 3rd step in was finding the property He said you’ll know in your heart when you find it, it took 7 months but I found it, put a contract on it, the address I got at closing was 7772 which was confirmation!!! Here’s the kicker, it’s 2 hours away, my marriage had been rocky for a little while, it’s hard being a step parent today especially.. but she informed me like 2 months ago that her and the kids weren’t going, she was leaving and filing for divorce!!! She had tried to get me to go to counseling a year ago I offered to go but she didn’t act interested she moved out a month ago and blocked me on her phone... people only do that Jesus said Moses only gave you the certificate of divorce because of the hardness of your hearts is the only reason... I prayed and praise about it the Lord said forgive her, give it to me and you continue on and follow ME!! He said you have 2 choices, you can worship the creation or the Creator you can’t worship BOTH!! These are perilous times!! Remember there’s only one Ruth to THOUSANDS of Delilah’s and Jezebels BE VERY VERY CAREFUL!! They to have a charisma a draw that counterfeits the Holy Spirit REAL WELL!!! I pray discernment for you in Jesus Name!!

chris parker I agree, and will head you wise warning but, I don’t plan on marrying I’m just a teen 😂

Dickheads Rebuked lmboo!!! Well good I got ya early!! Please do as TRUE wisdom is learning from others mistakes and not your own.. from your messages I can tell your humble that will take you MANY MANY places with God don’t change that.. also there is wisdom in many counselors and THE MOST IMPORTANT.. Psalms Ch 1 if I was you I’d memorize it!!! David was a man after Gods own heart so I would imagine the FIRST thing he had to say we should probably listen.. Psalms 1:1.. Blessed is the man ( that Hebrew Word is gender neutral so Blessed is the person that walks NOT in the counsel of the Ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners not sits in the seat of scoffers but his delight is in the Tora Of The Lord!! Now people take that as His law but that Word actually means Gods instruction!! If we will walk with those THREE principles.. 1) NEVER EVER take ungodly counsel only Godly counsel and you’ll know the tree by its fruit.. make sure they have the proper fruit as a believer and not just the words... 2) we DONT STAND in the path of the sinner.. what that means is people who aren’t born again, and some that are but are like warm and straddling the gene ( I’ve been guilty at times of that myself but basically these people live to please there flesh, we are human and believers may find themselves there from time to time but they DONT STAND IN IT or practice it as a life style because anyone that has the Holy Spirit will have a HEAVY hand of conviction on them to pull them out... we as believers sod our feet with the Gospel of peace that’s what we STAND ON.... 3) we don’t sit in the seat of scoffers.. notice how he said we don’t SIT IN THE SEAT?? That means these people are SITTING around doing NOTHING but scoffing and and criticizing everything everyone else isn’t doing right... I’d rather be trying to do something for Christ wrong then sitting around not picking everything everyone else does.. at least there trying!! If you’ll put these principles at work in your young life and set healthy boundaries and anyone that doesn’t respect them loses the right to have any say in your life what so ever!! Be blessed!!..🤛🤛🤛

*A Time for Everything* Ecclesiastes 3:1-14 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. 9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil-this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. Sis, nothing can limit GOD. Not age, location, past, present, future. Absolutely nothing. Our GOD IS LIMITLESS. But HE does want our faith. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Romans 12:11-12 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. In this video this man before proposing to his fiancé speaks of what being called to CHRIST is like. Please listen and heed the word of the LORD. GOD bless you! m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pBDr7Jxkr6Q.html

The Lord will provide you with everything you need in His perfect timing. He will make certain to send you the godly husband you need. He will make certain to send me my godly husband in His perfect timing. Just keep praising and thanking Him.

SAME!!!

It definitely can be.

That’s exactly how I feel!

God bless!

Keep up the good fight!

Sometimes a dog is all you need for companionship haha

Glad the video was helpful

I'm going through the same exact thing ! Lord I tell ya !

Amen
