You know even when I'm married I'm still going to watch these and even show my wife😂😇. Btw this is a little random but my hometown was in this 8:50 💪 PGH😊
1. There will be a desire to experience God's original design for marriage. 2. They will have a growing desire to serve one another out of their love, not duty. 3. You will willingly let go of the formerly healthy attachments to other people. 4. Their main affection for one another will flow out of their relationship with God. 5. They will know it was God that arranged their ability to be joined in a relationship ("God-thing").
More than anything I’m striving to be a Prov 31 woman, a bride to Christ. I think then God will be able to mold me into the woman HE wants me to be for all purposes.
Agreed. God urged me to “focus on becoming the Proverbs 31 woman I made you to be, I’ll bring your Ephesians 5 man in the fullness of time.” The more I’ve been led in love for God, the less I’ve been fixated on marriage. I still desire it, I just don’t idolize or idealize it anymore.
Kyra Faith I LOVE THAT! You be Prov 31, HE’ll bring YOU Eph 5! I’m praying that you and I will be able to stand on His promise alone for faith. Not looking right or left but UP to HIM.
Im only 17, but i want to prepare myself for something like this. Love is a gift from God for us. I pray for my future man and i strongly believe that God will send to me someone one day, and i need to wait for that special day. God bless you. 🙏🏻❤️😊
Amen ! Soon as a prayed that...and was ready to be single and celibate for the rest of my life .... God sent my producer 9 months later . We became friends..... then 6 months later we started courting then bam 8 months later we're married ! We've been married almost 2 months and haven't even been in a relationship for a year 🤣🙏🏾🙌🏾 When you let God guide you .... he exceeds your expectations!! And His timing is impeccable!
Zay 777 it’s True man People are not even giving time to God and God Created Us, We Should Give Thanks To God Instead they just give time to video games and make up and more other things like not to God.
@@sujalgurung77 I agreed because I don't give him enough time and yeah I do give him time but it can never amount to the time jesus gave for us through his sacrifice 🙏🙏🙏 Shalom
"... Charm is DECEPTIVE and Beauty is FLEETING..." If only EVERYONE simply applied/UNDERSTOOD this universally... So many don't realize Our Lord's Word is basic human law for ALL things GOOD...💕
Hi Mark.I'm 14 and I recently discovered your channel while in quarantine. I always thought that when I become older it'll be hard to locate a Christian guy but after seeing the comments,I now know they are still out there The main reason why I have been watching your channel is because I want to make proper decisions in the future and putting God first in every decision I make. Thankyou for this channel.God bless.
In this world ppl hook up just to end the relationship just that quickly. Most of these couples that are married who teach the word are in long lasting marriages. Its definitely from God in those situations. I believe 100% in "a God thing". Grt msg.
Yep he sure does fight… God told me to go back to her she’s the one and I finally did because I just felt things and the other voice told me it could never happen… kill yourself. I still can’t believe God wants me to get married I remember telling myself I would never wait for a girl. I was really good at manipulating and getting what I wanted. I learned it was wrong when a girl who caused me to surrender and want better in life got in a situationship with a guy. I’m waiting on God I didn’t do this I tried running but I couldn’t. I feel peace watching this😇. The devil has no hold on me, he may attack what’s good, but never take because it says in the Bible seek and ye shall find. He who finds a wife finds a good thing
Amen ! I literally am experiencing this now . I started streaming Mark and a few other Believers on RU-vid 2 years ago and bam ..met my husband .... then didnt date him until months later then 8 months later here we are .. married ! With God leading our steps before us meeting...during our friendship....to our courtship now our marriage 🥰 Its worth waiting on God , keeping Him first and being obedient!! Sooooooo worth the wait !
I pray for the spirit of stillness as I patiently wait for my husband. I believe one day soon I will be a wife and a mother. My hope and trust is in you Lord.
@ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger: "...actively taking the steps God will ask you to take." That's HIS favor ➡ Action in-motion. So, "He who FINDS a wife FINDS a good thing, and obtains favor from HIM..." 🙏 #WhenTheProverbs31WomanMeetsTheEphesians5Man
WOW again! Ok Mark....now I KNOW the Holy Spirit is really truly working in YOU, and that it is not some AGW drone following me around cos I am not where I was! This is so spot on, it is just scary! Or maybe it's just a "GOD" thing!!! Thank you so much for this great message! One of your best!
You give great biblical advice. These are certainly things married people should strive for. However, they do not happen automatically. A true godly marriage is wherein both people strive for these things and acknowledge their short comings in a retentive way.
I am currently friends with woman I met on a Christian dating site. We waited two months before seeing each other in person and have talked for three months daily so far. We only see each other once a week, going to church and lunch together every Sunday while spending most of our time talking about Christ. Waiting to see what God wants is our current status and we are willing to be patient. All of that aside, everything in this video is pretty much what I feel with this person but I want your opinion Mark! Should I be optimistic? Thanks! 🙏
@Traevon Chandler I hope you both ask and get confirmation from God. He will let you know. Well wishing you both well . May God bless your relationship. 🙏🏻
I feel so blessed to know that God is giving me my Christ-centered relationship now. All of these points I am seeing come to pass and I am excited and amazed at how God is answering my prayers for a man of God. It feels unbelieveable! Praised be to God Almighty in Jesus name! Thank you Mark for your wonderful videos and ministry. God bless you and your family 🙏
Thank you Brother!! I have been learning so very much from your teachings for 5 yrs now, and they always come right on time! The Lord truly is using you in a mighty way! God Bless!
Omg your talking about going back when I was just a mess lost everything didn’t want to live, felt lost and ran away from a voice I knew was the Lord, but was confused not really I would read in the Bible “my sheep hear my voice” I was like what does that mean I was still not understanding why he wanted me to go back. It was so strange It was supernatural I can’t explain as I started doing what the encouraging voice had said I started seeing my fruit grow and my heart started to soften I hated it, but I loved it. To be honest I was so dark that when I would hear about Love in the Bible my heart would hurt. Ephesians 5:8 is when I realized the Bible is the voice of God. While God was telling me all these things I was always in Ephesians and that’s where I noticed my calling to the ministry wasn’t something I could run away from even if I tried I’m prophetic, but I have a prophetic ministry. When I stopped reading the Bible and stopped doing God’s work I would here that voice only in the morning at the same time I went down the hall… “go back to her she’s the one.” I’ve grown a lot, but I’ve been struggling with praying I don’t pray like I use to I started running into not confusion discerning everything. I was easy it really was and all of the sudden it wasn’t it got harder the voices and everything coming toward me. I remember Ephesians 6 put on the whole armor of God. Always with war with my mind even as a little kid, but it’s worst since I’m walking in light and truth. He stay on my back (enemy). Prayer is key to destroy the devils tactics
That's what I notice is that the more I am a doer of the word the more peace and Joy I have. LIFE. He does say those who love His laws have great peace. That is my experience and it is true. My desire is to have a relationship where I can celebrate Jesus with the person. Build something with the goal of promoting His love. Love God, Love people. Not just company. I have heard in my heart that if someone has Christ as FIRST in their hearts, they will be able to show real love. The way God intended. His love. You cant give what you dont have. I also have learned, through heartbreak and disobedience, that light and dark cannot exist in unity. Standards will be different and oh what heartache it brings. You will find yourself fighting to just maintain your standards. They wont understand your love for The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It causes conflict. Anyway I am listening finally after some rebellion and betraying myself by reasoning. He is teaching me to pray and obey! Love you all and Grace and Peace to you all! God is beautiful and His ways are perfect and pleasing and good. : )
Thank you for sharing this confirmation. God has been leading me-and my wife to be, I know by faith-to do these very things in our coming relationship.
Hello Mark.. I commented on one of your vids last Feb & asked for your opinion. Yesterday I declared that I'm letting him go. It's hard Mark, I'm at my lowest & the weakest now, I honestly don't know why this is happening, but I want to have faith in God's plan for my marriage life. Please include me in your prayers. Debra Sawin from Malaysia. Thank you & God bless you & everyone watching your videos..
🙏🏼🙏🏼❤ it's so worth WAITING... don't make the same mistakes so many- like myself- have. REALLY LISTEN.. LOOK. Don't Mistake 'being a good person' by marrying someone BC 'it's the right thing to do', or you don't want to hurt someone that's already not well. Just some examples.. its not always for sinful or selfish reasons this mistake is made... it's sometimes BC you're the one willing to sacrifice everything, including your own happiness for someone who wasn't 'THE ONE' to begin with..💔
@@FallnAngL-dg7gx Thank you for the wise words.. I was devastated because I've been with him for 7 years, & broke up at 29, the age of when I think that it's really the time to take the next big step. But I'm grateful, because everything happens before it's actually official. & waiting for THE ONE, I pray that God gives me His heavenly strength & comfort in this season of waiting. I pray that God leads you too in all your ways.
This is EXACTLY what me and and this one girl wanted and how we felt about one another. All of these signs line up to her and even though me and her havent spoke in a few months due to her losing feelings, i have even more hope now that God has big plams for me and her in the future and that he will have me and her reunite one day.❤🙏
Excellent. All glory to God, our father. His work on my life and heart, and the perfection of His plan is beyond anything I could have imagined or created without Him. My brothers and sisters, learn His Word and pray his will. Make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, and let Him change you to be worthy and true for his blessings. His love heals all wounds. He delights in your love, faith, trust. Pray and be patient. God's blessings are amazing beyond words. May his praise be ever upon my lips!
Amen! Thank you for this video. This is timely for my current situation. There are many perspectives about dating and courtship. Christians should only listen and heed to biblical standards. Biblical counsel is the best. You will never go wrong when you follow God's will and design in relationships!
#3. I don't know the person I am with is going to be my spouse but I feel God definitely placed him in my life and I'm trying to do what everyone does when starting a relationship. I'm already hearing how I'm never around from my mom. How am I supposed to ever get married with a mother who won't let me go? Not really asking because I know it will happen and she's just going to have to get used to it. She feels I'm treating her different or ignoring my family. I'm not I'm just not home 24/7 anymore.
Oh my goodness, this was so on point and so revealing and just confirms what I had thought about and believed regarding marriage. I was struggling, and thinking about a (past) relationship (which is in a weird place right now), and then this pops up! Completely confirms what I had been thinking... Thank you!
So I went back to school today and even though I'm younger theres a girl That I asked out and we have a lot of classes together and I think Gods trying to get me to try to date her so all glory praise to God
God has me in a situation with a woman that lives about 90 miles from me. Our original dating had her decide she didn't want to see me anymore and wanted to just be friends. I was going along with it for a bit but it was too hard to deal with. I stopped communicating with her but prayed and prayed about it, as God wouldn't let me let her go. We have recently been in contact again after God prompted it, with the impression that we are talking knowing there is potential between us. We haven't put a date together just yet, but I am following the Holy Spirit in my prayers, so maybe this is just how He wants to build things up between us. I still tell God all the time if this isn't Him to please tell me, but the desire is still there. She is christian so it isn't an unevenly yoked relationship.
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger - thank you Mark! That is what I have been doing to get to this point, was get closer to Him. Instead of worrying about contacting her I have been reaching out to Him.
As a Christian man who married a Christian woman and got divorced, I can definitely attest that both me and her did not put Christ at the center of our marriage. Hence, why it failed.
The way I understand it is, if you can keep your sexual urges under control, then it's better to stay single. This is Paul's advice. It would be better.
@@nicholaschuma6304, your abstaining will mean nothing before God if you have not accepted the free gift of salvation offered through Jesus Christ. Accept Jesus Christ finished work on the cross that paid for your sins, believe in faith that His blood has cleaned your of your sins, that Jesus Christ is God and you will be saved. By not accepting this free gift, you will stand guilty before God on judgment day and the wages of your sin will be death, to be cast into the lake of fire for ever to serve out your rejection of God. You are helpless to save yourself. Believe and be saved.
@@ferrosjewellers4558 it’s not abstaining rather I don’t have the urge anymore🙏🙏don’t even think about that🤷♂️🤷♂️isn’t that what salvation does to some people
I’ve been able to start grieving my childhood trauma and finally making peace with it. My relationship with God is starting to soar. Satan has been doing everything he can to prevent me and this young woman from spending time together. Pray for us, brothers and sisters!
Hi,I love your videos they inspire me alot please make a video of a single parents also because we're out here, heartbroken,we had pains and also it's hard for us to remarry again, because we're scared of being hearted again it's difficult to move on... We have lost that trust both in men and women...thanks watching from Kenya be blessed
God bless! These videos apply to anyone who is a Christian and wants to be married :) This also may help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YEPQl3nDsZI.html
Pray in tongues. The Holy Spirit prays through you and prays God's perfect will. His prayers overcome the enemy's schemes. And His prayers always get answered :)
1. Money starts disappearing from your wallet and receipts take its place 2. You find yourself listening to the soundtrack to The Bodyguard and tearing up 3. You realise you haven’t seen you best mate Dave in... what is that now...? The Christmas party?!... the Christmas party 2018?! Better call him now!! 4. You start to develop an opinion on local schools... you don’t have kids... or like kids... you certainly never was one. 5. You start spicing up the presentation of your “signature dish” by adding hotdogs and bacon to you beans on toast, and presenting it on a chic modern black slate... you know it’s all about the presentation baby...! How’d I do....?!
It's interesting how i was just randomly listening to Muic and all of a sudden tHIS video started!!! Is God trying to say something to me??🤓 _Is a very single girl asking herself right now_..,
I’ve been a Christian for a long time and always wanted a Christian marriage. I was married and divorced twice to abusive husbands. I also sinned in the marriage because I separated myself from them. I just left another verbally abusive man and they all claim to be Christian. I’ve watched some of your videos and it seems they are aimed at young people who have never been married. I still desire for a Godly husband. How do I get over my disappointment and do I still have a chance? I put it in Gods hands
I would perhaps talk to a counselor to help you figure out what might be happening. It sounds like a trend is occurring in your life so that might be something to unpack more deeply
Just like how you stated, @Raquel Pitcher: "I put it in Gods hands." Also, develop a closer / deeper relationship with HIM first. HE's always there...listening. HE just wants your heart. And HE knows your heart, and will grant your heart's desires...just continue to trust HIM!! 🙏
We're also reminded of Hosea (the unfailing love of God to His people), as the 'incomparably worst example', it is deep, but it also shows that there is no impossible thing for 'true love'.. Thank you for this video.🤍
what if the person you're seeing is not Christian like you, but still believes in God and that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and that Jesus died for our sins and rose again? He is a believer, he's just not the same religion as I am.
Time to move on my bro's. Time's have changed & so have u. We discover new things about ourselves & unlock new abilities. We once wanted a man or a woman & now, u don't desire 1. We feel no need for 1. Why do we need a relationship with someone anyway? What's the point of it if it'll end anyway? We can be lone wolves for the rest of our lives. We'll be healthy & fine under God's protection. We don't need a partner. U need our heavenly father God who created us. That's who we sinners need.
