Bible Question:
Hello fellow Members, I have a praise report. In the word we are told that God knows our hearts. We are told that He knows that which is best for us. And he promises to do what is best for us, if we trust in Him. I would like to share a testimony, praisin God for His blessing, grace, and mercy. I recently went through a VERY difficult relationship, which I fully realize was brought about by my blind eyes and deaf ears, and it left me with nowhere to turn but God. One of my greatest desires is to find THE girl that I am to marry, and marry her :) Well after the relationship fell apart, I reached the point of saying "God I am letting you bring her to me," He was almost IMMEDIATELY faithful in bringing her to me. Not three months later, a girl from california, who is the sister of a friend of mine (whom I diliked very much not 6 months ago). This girl and I ended up going to visit the local water falls because she was bored( having been pinned up in her hotel room for 3 days). As we talked, I kid you not, without soliciting the information, she began to check off every item on my list of things I am looking for in a girl. Two weeks later after she had returned home, She was led to the Lord( I was blessed to be able to assist God in this), and two days later we began dating from 1500 miles away. Now our relationship has progressed and she and I feel that we will get married. She is studying to become a teacher. Well the program she is in, is offerd at a university in georgia, outside of the town my family moved to 1 and a half years ago. The school happened to also be one of the best schools for this program in the US. And PRAISE GOD SHE GOT ACCEPTED INTO THAT SCHOOL!!! I wish I could convey to you all the amazing way God has orchistrated this, but I feel that I couldnt even if I tried. I hope that this brings conformation, hope, and joy to any who read this post. May God bless you all, CoG88 |
Bible Answer: ChildofGod1988: After reading your profile, and this post I would like to share my thoughts and impressions. May I suggest you read several times over 1 Corinthains 6:9 to 7:40. With what you say in your profile, you seem to me that you are impatient and rush into hasty conclusions. I can't help but wonder if you have overcome the addiction to porn. Unless you have made yourself accountable to someone whom you know will help and hold you responsible for your growth to overcome this addiction, you are most likely still attracted to to satans best that cripples many Christian mens lives. You say you felt called into the ministry. What have you done with that call you felt? Is that call genuine or was it just a happy feeling at the time? You need to know if that was a genuine call of the Lord or just the Holy spirit calling you to walk in Holiness. Your profile says you were at the time 19 years old. Dear brother in Christ, very few love relationships at your age last very long. I encourage you to walk in the Lord and mature in Christ, overcome and rid yourself of any lingering desire for porn, or anything else that would make for a hampered marriage, and make you unequally yoked with the wife God would have for you. I hope I dont come accross like a stern old man who is down on you. I honestly have told my own son this very thing about 15 years ago when he was your age. I would like to hear back from you. So please respond to my post so I can remember you in prayer. Blesings. justme |
