Being alone is hard, having no set-apart friends and/or congregation in the place where I currently live drives me insane. I'm very timid to try and approach people. Please pray for me-thank you so much for this video! Be blessed 🙏
Prayers sent! 💝💝💝 I know exactly how you feel. I can't wait to have more friends that are about God's business and are either doing ministry or simply the Will of God in whatever way He's called them to live that out. Being set-apart is really hard at times, and even lonely. But I believe God will change that for us sooner than we think. #KeepPersevering🔥👑
One time I moved across town, changed jobs and got a new phone number. It made a world of difference and radically changed my life, yet was only 30 minutes from my old life.
@@Greatboldness The worst regret is not doing it and then wondering what it would have been like if you had. Sometimes you just have to rip the bandaid off and run with it.
1.)if being surrounded by ungodliness God is calling u to move from there. 2.)when a ministry calling u away from ur current place. 3.)current place of living is asking u to leave. Move on. God want u in a place where u are wanted.
The Lord brought me out of Egypt and I'm currently camping out in the wilderness. I asked him why I couldn't move to the destination He has for me, and He let me know that I needed to be patient and trust in Him. He is using this season to prune me, removing old, dried relationships from my life and rooting a deeper trust and love for Him in my heart. Be patient and trust the Lord's timing. Still, easier said than done.
I'm looking in a mirror!!! Appreciate your post. I'm dying in this wilderness but hopeful my exodus is nearby. Open to go anywhere He asks / leads. 63 and above ground. Still a Purpose for me.
I moved to where I am now 6 years ago without consulting God. It’s been a terrible 6 years. Never found a home church, no close christian community, only a few secular friends I couldn’t relate to. A few months ago, after much prayer, I realized God purposely closed every door to me. So I’m moving in three weeks to a place that has amazing churches. Even Bible study in the beach!!
No,he wanted you to himself,if you don't fast from the world you won't find the kingdom,search the kingdom,it's inside you, put everything you think you know to the side,fast,pray and ask God to show you what you're missing or misunderstanding,he closed all my doors and isolated me,when I humbled myself and asked him why my life has been the way it's been,he began showing me things they don't teach in church, important books of the Bible were removed and some things were changed and the world was enslaved by lack of knowledge,trust me,ask God to show you what's hidden from you,the kingdom is inside of you and so is Jesus Christ,most of us has been worshipping a God outside of ourselves when were supposed to be worshipping in spirit and truth, Jesus has to be raised in you like a baby and you can actually become one with him, read John 10,the lost gospel of Thomas then check out the master key society videos on RUclips and Neville Goddard is a great teacher of spirit,it won't be easy because it seems blasphemous but it's truth,he began showing me "angel numbers" everywhere and that was telling me that i was on the right path then later on i realised that the repeating numbe verses in the Bible were connected to the inward path to Christ
If i only knew where to go! Long time ago I had a dream about me leaving, I asked God about it, I still don't have the answer. My life is an absolutely hell right now.
Fast for 3 days and ask the holy spirit for direction! I got my answer after the third day! Then it was confirmed twice by 2 different sources! Enjoy the journey
Great stuff. We don't need to throw our pearls before swine, as Jesus' allusion tell us. Sometimes we miss extremely huge opportunities due to sticking around our comfort zones and "familiar" places too long, when God is saying to move... to trust Him. Like Abraham.
I'm in a very strange desert spiritually. Since March I've been in a ministerial position, and it has been the most difficult thing I've gone through in a while. I prayed to God to help me compromise in the way they wanted/needed me to, but to no avail. I finally had the hard conversation with my pastor and will be stepping down in August, especially since I will be going back to my other full-time teaching job (currently have taught all Summer in addition to ministry) and starting my Masters. I've also been fearful about the future. I feel the need to focus intensely on the ministries I do feel God has led me to, as well as school. I live with my parents which is not the best environment. The school I work at is an 1 hour + commute from my house, school being 30 min. My home makes me anxious. I'm 25 and the dreams on my heart feel so far away. I want to move (physically and spiritually) but see no open door, but idk what there is for me to do until then. I'm tired.
My advice is to prioritize what is most important first. If going back to school is not as important as getting into a healthy fellowship and finding a new place to live, I would focus on that first. But if the sacrifices are worth the cost, then proceed :)
@Shannon Matthews thank you for taking your time to reply. It's been hard to tell what stress has been allowed by God, or sent by Satan. After a conversation with my pastor I felt at peace with stepping down, but the enemy sent attacks of guilt, shame, and failure. Fighting past that, I've been looking for someone to replace me (as instructed by my pastor). As for the home situation, as much ad my heart is ready to move, the leaps I've taken have fallen flat. Miami real estate is also ridiculous lol but with that, since I'm going back to school (and that's the only door that God opened that I'm certain about) anything Ive saved for a place would go towards that. I'm a little more at ease just simply because I know I have zero control and if He ordains something, He'll make it happen.
You’re speaking to my current situation Mark! Last night I dreamt I was asked to leave the current place I’m staying at and this Is my confirmation from God! May God continue to bless your ministry Mark!
It's hard to find Godly friends. Most of the people I meet want to take me back to a lifestyle God has brought me out of. I let that be my guide to know God did not send them.
This teaching blessed me. As a previous member of Black church community we are taught to stay in abuse and this even spilled over in our personal relationships. While I know not everything will come with ease staying under abuse for years never felt right or a sign of righteousness as was taught to me. Forgive me if I was sounding like it’s a racial issue I was only pointing out my experience among the group I experienced it with. I want Gods guidance and sometimes traditional values that have nothing to do with God has damaged many of us.
Yeah. Those are dead churches where people of color tend to obey their pastor and not God. Move quickly. You don't need to tell them you're " moving your membership." That's manmade rules. Just leave and change your number. Start looking at everything for the next church you may join.
Hey Mark, thank you for this content! This definitely applies to me right now as I am seeking the Lord on where He wants me in every area of my life. Would appreciate prayers that I will have eyes to see, ears to hear and courage to obey. Thank you!
Thanks for this!!! The spiritual move has been a tug of war, as I have been experiencing inner turmoil. I am scared about leaving my comfort zone, but I will be obedient.
Perfect timing as always!👌 I've been planning a move as I am completely surrounded by unbelievers in my city. Nice enough people but we are not on the same page spiritually. Thank you Brother Mark! 🙏
This was a "God's timing" thing receiving this word. Thank you Lord for your written word, all these scriptures were convicting my soul to the core. I prayed about this very thing. Sometimes when you invest in people with your heart they just don't reciprocate. Thank you brother Mark and this ministry for sowing into our fellow brethren. Confirmation isn't always easy to process. I'm praying for my brothers and sisters who are alone, and don't think anyone lifts them up in prayer. I do! Grant us strength, and courage, Lord that you will direct our path to the narrow road that leads to eternity with you. Pour your grace and peace that surpasses all worldly understanding. Mahalo for this share Mark. God bless you 🕊️
Oh my gosh! I felt in my spirit I needed to read the Bible. I turned to Matthew chapter 10:16, then decided I needed to read a little before that so I finished reading Matthew 10:14. I did this and then felt I needed to get on RUclips for some spiritual encouragement. Low and behold I click on your video 5 minutes after reading those verses and you actually listed Matthew 10:14 in this video! The fact you uploaded this an hour ago blew me away. GOD IS AMAZING!!! Thank you for the confirmation! I have been praying and seeking God about this subject for the last couple months. I have been seeing UHauls EVERYWHERE I go, even way out in the country or in places I wouldn't expect to see them. Then I seen your video a day or so after asking God what He is trying to tell me at this time in my life. Thank you so much!!! 🥰🙌🎉✝️📖
This is hard to explain my side of things. I have asked God where am I needed? After a while waiting, I have soon noticed something. Something I severely dislike. Either I am blind to what God is telling me to do or he is telling me to wait or telling me I am right where I am needed. Yet, nothing here is good. The places of worship are all sinful graves and support sin. The so called friends all here are not helping in following God. As there is no way for me to move either. No job, no way of transport and no way to support myself if I were to step away from the home I am in. Yet, I yearn to grow more in faith and now wish to move both spiritual and even physical to grow faith. Yet, no way to do so. I have stomped out a lot that is sinful and yet, I sigh at these victories. As I grow older I stare helpless towards what God wants or what seems like what God wants. For so long this fruitlessness lays baren in this desert. Makes it hard to become bitter and frustrating as I am feeling like I am forced to stay still. Staring at the few fruit God has made within my life. Yet, now I want to grow that fruit and not allowed to. Watching the tree of God stand there and sway in the wind as a coming storm ravages and destroyes others homes. As I start to watch the true evil plans are given. Am I deaf or blind I ask myself. Yet, I continue to ask is this what he wants. I still do not hear him as clearly as others do. Yet, I sigh and say, in faith I got to accept he is in control. May his will be done. Amen.
Thanks for affirming what I went through. Just moved home from college after being offered and asked again and again to stay and continue living away from family to stay at my work. The work and people around me were great. I was even a part of a wonderful church, but I knew living alone or even with friends who worked an opposite schedule from me was a challenge for me. I needed my family around me to avoid/resist temptations that occurred in my thoughts. As a single guy, I always encourage having people around you and have people you can talk to about your struggles. Thanks for the great content Mark! 🤗
I will be honest I heard many preachers pushing back your channel (or other like that) talking how you shouldn’t go primarily on RUclips for a sermon with 3 steps to ___ in 5 minutes. Now it’s true in some aspect but I have to say after knowing your channel for sometime you still keep posting relevant words of God and the format has its use too. So if you hear people pushing back I think just pray to be in God’s will and keep doing the good job. Thanks for the video.
Definitely a timely message. I am in a wilderness place but God is using it and I know this is where I’m needed right where I am right now. Where I am living is not long term so it is possible I will be shifted at some point. Trusting God with the details, step by step, day by day.
This is everything I feel like I am dealing with right now as I feel like God is asking me to make a move in all of those areas but I've been too fearful to confront it head on.
Thanks for this video! I'm at that place right now where I can see all the signs that it's time to move to another place physically,I don't know where to and when,please pray with me,also relationship wise things are not going well at all,I prayed I cried I fasted I got sick but nothing is changing,for years now.... I'm an intercessor and this is hindering me from praying cause during prayer time all I see is my pain,suffering and troubles.Please pray with me to know what God's will is.
I did this with my last job just walked away, it was grieving the Spirit and I knew I had stayed longer than I should have. I'm now in a better work atmosphere and am thriving in it. I'm in good standing with my supervisors and co-workers and so far am without rebuke with both. Working on living situation and were I am in the church, I see no real growth in most churches and I know that their are better things for me than just being in a church that is stagnant and set in its ways.
Always interesting to listen to topics that have no application to my life, much more objective view of them when there’s no personal issues. Thanks Mark for helping me through a very tough relationship spot. While I’m certainly not where I want to be right now, I feel as if I have stable spiritual ground to stand on now and begin branching out to potential partners.
I keep seeing these videos because he’s been urging me to move from Kansas to LA. I just need a huge confirmation because I have a seven month old and I’m pregnant. My only desire is to fulfill his purpose so that’s the reasoning he wants me there I guess🤷🏽♀️ But yeah number two resonates with me for sure. Thank you Mark😊
In 30 years God wanted me to move, He really didn't let me know, but He made me move just in time. A week after my last move, my apartment stove caught fire three times in one weekend. I could have been sleeping. Praise God!! The move was/has been painful, but what He did!!!
I have been waiting on God for a move in a town that is prone to idolatry and abortion. I do not feel connected here and my whole life is in another town. My church is there, and stepping up in ministry depends on this move. I struggle with sleeping based on lack of time due to my commute and the stress of my current living situation. Hoping that since its been almost a year at my church and this September a year in ministry - God will finally open the door.
Great video as usual. Struggling with some things. Could really use prayer on where God may want me to move and for Him to show me and give me wisdom and to empower me to move. Prayer in my current relationship life could be used as well. Prayers to you all, God bless.
Will be praying for you brother. God, may you work wonders in Kyle's life, may you give him discernment from what is right and wrong and to make bold decisions that will bring him closer to You. Give him the ability to make bold decisions. "Blessed is the one who believes without seeing" Even when things don't seem like they're going right, and there are moments where we feel lost, help us to see and to have the faith to follow and to trust in You. May you help Kyle with his relationships, that you surround him with godly people who will help him grow and not fall.
You know, I would love to live in the woods. Not totally separated from humanity, but in the woods. Maybe, I`ll get there. We will see. Maybe God will let me do it. It seems possible, so i will just let God do his thing and see where I end up.
I moved out of my parents house to another state about 2 years ago and had to come back for other reasons. Now I feel like I don’t have peace about my move back. Praying to God for clarity on what to do
Yes and sometimes it's not always good stuff that happens if we don't listen or maybe God knows we won't listen I truly believe this and he's end times I think he'll do whatever it takes to keep his people
Just was asking God for a sign to move…and then your video pops up….. I have been watching you since I was 19-20 then lost track, but now I am 23 and your videos still help me. I was in a relationship for almost 2 years, we started at first on a good note, then we both fell into a sexual sin, but I really did not want to participate and I forced myself to with the person, but then it took over him and he started gravitating to watch soft pornography and he was more interested ( lustfully) in them, but I still “felt” that we were good together. We used to pray together etc, but everything fell apart and I moved back home. We bought each other things and seemed inseparable but things changed, and I think the enemy hated us together. Even his parents started telling us that we were not ready for marriage but we felt we were until we started listening to others which drove things apart.
Sounds like you both weren't ready for marriage and this person was not the one for you since he was living in sin and you went into with him. Just my thoughts since you asked :)
I am at this place right now. Please pray for me. That i stay on the right path that GOD has me on. I am asking for revelation please. Thanks and GOD BLESS YOU.
Thank you for this video, Mark! I always appreciate all of your content, it has been so helpful to my walk with Christ. If it is something that other people are also curious learn, would you be able to give us advice on how to find a church with an actual backbone? I know this is completely off from the usual types of relationship videos you post, but I am struggling to find a church that doesn’t adopt progressive Christianity ideas. I unfortunately live in a very progressive city with my family and it has been incredibly hard to see all the wickedness here. Would you recommend any other sources to seek to find a Church with conservative Christian values? God bless you!
Im living in a place where i feel so alienated. Its challenging given that a year ago, everything was laid out nicely. Suddenly now im living in muslim country. People ridicule my thought and speech pattern. In the house that im currently renting, my housemate is not someone you would call tolerable. I really want to move out. So far God has not answered my prayers. Im clueless on where to go. Im not in a good state in terms of my spiritual walk with God. Im terrified of everyone and everything that happens Im still waiting on God. Im still waiting for something from Jesus to happen.
Thanks for the video, Mark! My parents were actually talking about wanting to move houses, but none of these three points relate to them. The first part of part 3 could be relatable to me maybe... I still have a few more years to figure that out!
I feel my city is consumed by sin, is being punished and I feel is going to get worst, but so is the whole Country :( People obsession with sin is turning the world into Sodom and Gomorrah
that's a personal question. You may not have to move at all. feelings aren't usually changed by an environmental change. Focus on God and seek the peace he can give, Philippians 4
Struggling with the idea of moving I just graduated from college going to pursue my masters degree but I do feel called to move now I just don’t know where to tho
I... think this might be confirmation. I've been in talks with Wycliffe regarding working on translation of the Bible for unreached people-groups, but that would require me actually going overseas (I tried finding work I could do from home as I continue my education but nothing permanent has panned out so far). It's kinda scary because I'm really introverted and have never been out of the States (ironically, it's not the travel itself since I'm used to that).
I’m starting to wonder if we should change churches. Never really found a community here, I’ve found a few times that they’ve embellished the truth about some things that bother me, certain things my pastor has done & now they don’t seem like they’ve made good on something they said they’d do which was really important to me. Idk. I still feel like there’s a lot of growth I get from the church & pastor & we’ve gone here for 4 years. Not sure what to do. Also might have to physically move bc I can’t find work. So maybe that’s another indicator too. I feel like God’s telling me we’re going to get to keep our house I just don’t see how.
God sees things before it happens that’s why he tells us to move to new place. We don’t see it he does🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😇🙏🙏 I am leaving this island from my family no one helping me out there. There all against me. I have a job and my boss trying to sabotage me. That’s sign from god telling me u should leave. 🚨💯🙏🙏🙏😇😇💯💯
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 6Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. 7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD. 8Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
I don't know if you'd agree, Mark, but I urge people to also build good online Christian communities because a sound local church can be few and far between nowadays and people live in all kinds of places hostile to the Gospel. However, even that isn't the full answer. I had to withdraw from an online Christian group earlier this year after years of seeing it gradually turn into an eisegesical echo chamber clique against the warnings of many who once held it as a safe place to raise difficult, but meaningful, topics on scripture. As a more mature Christian I had stayed to try being a friend to those who were younger in the faith and needed direction so they wouldn't be led astray. However, I sadly saw Spirit-filled, new converts gradually become cold, lost and ensnared and the Admin indifferent to it neglecting the pastoral role their position gave them. Biblical orthodoxy, sound exegesis and holiness were mocked while false converts displayed evil fruit such as vileness, compromise and sacrilege as just part of "the walk of faith". No conviction for sin anymore. I figured I'd taken enough poison arrows but I felt an anger about the damage they caused to those who needed Christ. When your senses are dead you can't smell smoke and you can't feel fire; such is the way for all from whom the Holy Spirit departs. So, may God forgive them because they don't know (or sense) what they do!
I think online communities can be helpful as an addition to a good local church, but they are different and cannot offer pastoral or true Christian fellowship as God designed. The temptation is to substitute fellowship with online connection, but in the Bible there is an emphasis on gathering. the book called "One Assembly" by Jonathan Leeman is helpful
Do you guys think that this emphasis with tons of videos that kinda "foretell" God's will for you is good? I am not talking negatively of him but just curious.
no, I don't think most of the videos in this category are good. That's why I avoid saying this or that will happen. Rather, I give biblical principles that people can apply and which can give them guidance on what God wants them to do in specific situations.
Being alone is hard, having no set-apart friends and/or congregation in the place where I currently live drives me insane. I'm very timid to try and approach people. Please pray for me-thank you so much for this video! Be blessed 🙏
God bless Allee as you seek the Lord's leading!
I am also alone. But I have contentment. I pray everyday for others like yourself for contentment. We are all in this together. Hang in there.
I disagree
Maybe you're extroverted that's why you feel that way. Well that's literally not meant for you to be alone.
Prayers sent! 💝💝💝
I know exactly how you feel. I can't wait to have more friends that are about God's business and are either doing ministry or simply the Will of God in whatever way He's called them to live that out.
Being set-apart is really hard at times, and even lonely. But I believe God will change that for us sooner than we think. #KeepPersevering🔥👑
One time I moved across town, changed jobs and got a new phone number. It made a world of difference and radically changed my life, yet was only 30 minutes from my old life.
Thanks for sharing this!
Wow this just encouraged me.
Because my potential move is only 20 mins away and I’m petrified!
@@Greatboldness The worst regret is not doing it and then wondering what it would have been like if you had. Sometimes you just have to rip the bandaid off and run with it.
Amazing. I'm moving 90 minutes away from my current city and I have been having this pressing in my spirit to get a new phone #.
1.)if being surrounded by ungodliness God is calling u to move from there.
2.)when a ministry calling u away from ur current place.
3.)current place of living is asking u to leave. Move on. God want u in a place where u are wanted.
The Lord brought me out of Egypt and I'm currently camping out in the wilderness. I asked him why I couldn't move to the destination He has for me, and He let me know that I needed to be patient and trust in Him. He is using this season to prune me, removing old, dried relationships from my life and rooting a deeper trust and love for Him in my heart. Be patient and trust the Lord's timing. Still, easier said than done.
God bless Greg!
Relatable. Praise God
I have to do this... literally
Update now?
I'm looking in a mirror!!! Appreciate your post.
I'm dying in this wilderness but hopeful my exodus is nearby.
Open to go anywhere He asks / leads.
63 and above ground. Still a Purpose for me.

God often uses our desires. So ask yourself where do you want to go?
Fast for 3 days and ask the holy spirit for direction! I got my answer after the third day! Then it was confirmed twice by 2 different sources! Enjoy the journey
God told me to spiritually move last year and I’m sooooo happy I listened to Him!!!🥳🥳🥳
Amen, all glory to God!
What does spiritually move mean ?
@Ministry JJTEAM: to get away from things, people, situations that don’t agree with your spirit
I recently switched from retail to the healthcare field and became a behavioral interventionist! This is confirmation!
God bless Ashley!
Great stuff. We don't need to throw our pearls before swine, as Jesus' allusion tell us. Sometimes we miss extremely huge opportunities due to sticking around our comfort zones and "familiar" places too long, when God is saying to move... to trust Him. Like Abraham.
God bless!
Yes! 🎯
Once married, I will move with my Righteous, Christian husband!!
I’ve been feeling the need to move for over two years
God bless as you seek the Lord's leading
I'm in a very strange desert spiritually.
Since March I've been in a ministerial position, and it has been the most difficult thing I've gone through in a while. I prayed to God to help me compromise in the way they wanted/needed me to, but to no avail. I finally had the hard conversation with my pastor and will be stepping down in August, especially since I will be going back to my other full-time teaching job (currently have taught all Summer in addition to ministry) and starting my Masters.
I've also been fearful about the future. I feel the need to focus intensely on the ministries I do feel God has led me to, as well as school. I live with my parents which is not the best environment. The school I work at is an 1 hour + commute from my house, school being 30 min. My home makes me anxious.
I'm 25 and the dreams on my heart feel so far away. I want to move (physically and spiritually) but see no open door, but idk what there is for me to do until then. I'm tired.
Praying, trust God 💌
My advice is to prioritize what is most important first. If going back to school is not as important as getting into a healthy fellowship and finding a new place to live, I would focus on that first. But if the sacrifices are worth the cost, then proceed :)
@Shannon Matthews thank you for taking your time to reply.
It's been hard to tell what stress has been allowed by God, or sent by Satan. After a conversation with my pastor I felt at peace with stepping down, but the enemy sent attacks of guilt, shame, and failure. Fighting past that, I've been looking for someone to replace me (as instructed by my pastor).
As for the home situation, as much ad my heart is ready to move, the leaps I've taken have fallen flat. Miami real estate is also ridiculous lol but with that, since I'm going back to school (and that's the only door that God opened that I'm certain about) anything Ive saved for a place would go towards that.

How are you today? Did you move?
Perfect timing as always!👌 I've been planning a move as I am completely surrounded by unbelievers in my city. Nice enough people but we are not on the same page spiritually. Thank you Brother Mark! 🙏
God bless Alex! So glad this was useful content to you

Sometimes when you invest in people with your heart they just don't reciprocate. Thank you brother Mark and this ministry for sowing into our fellow brethren. Confirmation isn't always easy to process. I'm praying for my brothers and sisters who are alone, and don't think anyone lifts them up in prayer. I do! Grant us strength, and courage, Lord that you will direct our path to the narrow road that leads to eternity with you. Pour your grace and peace that surpasses all worldly understanding. Mahalo for this share Mark. God bless you 🕊️
So glad it was timely! All glory to God!
Oh my gosh!
I felt in my spirit I needed to read the Bible. I turned to Matthew chapter 10:16, then decided I needed to read a little before that so I finished reading Matthew 10:14.
I did this and then felt I needed to get on RUclips for some spiritual encouragement.
Low and behold I click on your video 5 minutes after reading those verses and you actually listed Matthew 10:14 in this video!
The fact you uploaded this an hour ago blew me away. GOD IS AMAZING!!!
Thank you for the confirmation!
I have been praying and seeking God about this subject for the last couple months.
I have been seeing UHauls EVERYWHERE I go, even way out in the country or in places I wouldn't expect to see them.
Then I seen your video a day or so after asking God what He is trying to tell me at this time in my life.
Thank you so much!!! 🥰🙌🎉✝️📖
So glad this was helpful and relevant! All glory to God!
This is hard to explain my side of things. I have asked God where am I needed? After a while waiting, I have soon noticed something. Something I severely dislike. Either I am blind to what God is telling me to do or he is telling me to wait or telling me I am right where I am needed. Yet, nothing here is good. The places of worship are all sinful graves and support sin. The so called friends all here are not helping in following God. As there is no way for me to move either. No job, no way of transport and no way to support myself if I were to step away from the home I am in. Yet, I yearn to grow more in faith and now wish to move both spiritual and even physical to grow faith. Yet, no way to do so. I have stomped out a lot that is sinful and yet, I sigh at these victories. As I grow older I stare helpless towards what God wants or what seems like what God wants. For so long this fruitlessness lays baren in this desert. Makes it hard to become bitter and frustrating as I am feeling like I am forced to stay still. Staring at the few fruit God has made within my life. Yet, now I want to grow that fruit and not allowed to. Watching the tree of God stand there and sway in the wind as a coming storm ravages and destroyes others homes. As I start to watch the true evil plans are given. Am I deaf or blind I ask myself. Yet, I continue to ask is this what he wants. I still do not hear him as clearly as others do. Yet, I sigh and say, in faith I got to accept he is in control. May his will be done. Amen.
Thanks for affirming what I went through. Just moved home from college after being offered and asked again and again to stay and continue living away from family to stay at my work. The work and people around me were great. I was even a part of a wonderful church, but I knew living alone or even with friends who worked an opposite schedule from me was a challenge for me. I needed my family around me to avoid/resist temptations that occurred in my thoughts. As a single guy, I always encourage having people around you and have people you can talk to about your struggles. Thanks for the great content Mark! 🤗
So glad this was helpful! God bless!
I will be honest I heard many preachers pushing back your channel (or other like that) talking how you shouldn’t go primarily on RUclips for a sermon with 3 steps to ___ in 5 minutes. Now it’s true in some aspect but I have to say after knowing your channel for sometime you still keep posting relevant words of God and the format has its use too. So if you hear people pushing back I think just pray to be in God’s will and keep doing the good job.
Thanks for the video.
Amen 🙏🏽
As Always Thank You
Brother Mark!!!
Stay Blessed Always
Everyone ❤️☮️❤️☮️
WE R ALL ONE ☝🏽
🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️
God bless you too Diana!
Thank you Mark! Praise God for Divine intervention and wise counsel! 😇😎
Amen to going forward away from ungodly or misguided people
God bless Nicky!
Definitely a timely message. I am in a wilderness place but God is using it and I know this is where I’m needed right where I am right now. Where I am living is not long term so it is possible I will be shifted at some point. Trusting God with the details, step by step, day by day.
This is everything I feel like I am dealing with right now as I feel like God is asking me to make a move in all of those areas but I've been too fearful to confront it head on.
God bless as you seek the will of the Lord
Praise the Lord! 🕊🌷🌷🌷✨✨✨🥰
Amen!
Grand Slam AGW!.
God bless!
Sooo Ready to Move
Move forward in life and the things of GOD ✝️ ✨ Lord ✨🌱 hear my cry 👉🏽 it's time 👈🏽❤️👉🏽
ShaloM 🕊️🍃
God bless!
I’ve been set apart SOOOO many times. I never knew why. This was really helpful and great direction.
I've been reading the article for so long, finally watched a video!1 Right on time!! Amen!! Glory Be T God!
So glad it was helpful! All glory to God!
Thanks for this video! I'm at that place right now where I can see all the signs that it's time to move to another place physically,I don't know where to and when,please pray with me,also relationship wise things are not going well at all,I prayed I cried I fasted I got sick but nothing is changing,for years now.... I'm an intercessor and this is hindering me from praying cause during prayer time all I see is my pain,suffering and troubles.Please pray with me to know what God's will is.
Did you move? 🙏🏾
I did this with my last job just walked away, it was grieving the Spirit and I knew I had stayed longer than I should have.
I'm now in a better work atmosphere and am thriving in it. I'm in good standing with my supervisors and co-workers and so far am without rebuke with both. Working on living situation and were I am in the church, I see no real growth in most churches and I know that their are better things for me than just being in a church that is stagnant and set in its ways.
Thanks Mark
Just phew ears a go god spoke too me that he was sending me too a new church what a blessing it changed my life
Thanks god bless you
Thanks for sharing this Landon!
Always interesting to listen to topics that have no application to my life, much more objective view of them when there’s no personal issues.
Thanks Mark for helping me through a very tough relationship spot. While I’m certainly not where I want to be right now, I feel as if I have stable spiritual ground to stand on now and begin branching out to potential partners.
Amen! So glad you are in a good spiritual place. Keep following the Lord!
Amen.This Is Confirmation To Move/Relocate Thank You Lord 😊 God Bless You Mark 🙏🏽🙌🏽♥️
So glad it was useful!
I keep seeing these videos because he’s been urging me to move from Kansas to LA. I just need a huge confirmation because I have a seven month old and I’m pregnant. My only desire is to fulfill his purpose so that’s the reasoning he wants me there I guess🤷🏽♀️ But yeah number two resonates with me for sure. Thank you Mark😊
God bless as you seek the Lord's leading and confirmation
In 30 years God wanted me to move, He really didn't let me know, but He made me move just in time. A week after my last move, my apartment stove caught fire three times in one weekend. I could have been sleeping. Praise God!! The move was/has been painful, but what He did!!!
I have been waiting on God for a move in a town that is prone to idolatry and abortion. I do not feel connected here and my whole life is in another town. My church is there, and stepping up in ministry depends on this move. I struggle with sleeping based on lack of time due to my commute and the stress of my current living situation. Hoping that since its been almost a year at my church and this September a year in ministry - God will finally open the door.
Great video as usual. Struggling with some things. Could really use prayer on where God may want me to move and for Him to show me and give me wisdom and to empower me to move. Prayer in my current relationship life could be used as well. Prayers to you all, God bless.
God bless Kyle as you seek the Lord's leading!
Will be praying for you brother.
God, may you work wonders in Kyle's life, may you give him discernment from what is right and wrong and to make bold decisions that will bring him closer to You. Give him the ability to make bold decisions.
"Blessed is the one who believes without seeing"
Even when things don't seem like they're going right, and there are moments where we feel lost, help us to see and to have the faith to follow and to trust in You.
May you help Kyle with his relationships, that you surround him with godly people who will help him grow and not fall.
@@captaincruchtime thank you, much appreciated
I need to Pray on this one thanks for sharing
You know, I would love to live in the woods. Not totally separated from humanity, but in the woods. Maybe, I`ll get there. We will see. Maybe God will let me do it. It seems possible, so i will just let God do his thing and see where I end up.
Living in the woods seems enjoyable. As long as you also have Christian community and don't become an isolationist :)
I moved out of my parents house to another state about 2 years ago and had to come back for other reasons. Now I feel like I don’t have peace about my move back. Praying to God for clarity on what to do
Yes and sometimes it's not always good stuff that happens if we don't listen or maybe God knows we won't listen I truly believe this and he's end times I think he'll do whatever it takes to keep his people
Thank you Mark for this ministry 🙏
May God bless you and May God bless everyone here🙏🙂.
God bless you too Jennifer!
Yes!!! Matthew 10:14 definitely hits home with me, lately.
God bless!
Just was asking God for a sign to move…and then your video pops up…..
I have been watching you since I was 19-20 then lost track, but now I am 23 and your videos still help me.
I was in a relationship for almost 2 years, we started at first on a good note, then we both fell into a sexual sin, but I really did not want to participate and I forced myself to with the person, but then it took over him and he started gravitating to watch soft pornography and he was more interested ( lustfully) in them, but I still “felt” that we were good together. We used to pray together etc, but everything fell apart and I moved back home. We bought each other things and seemed inseparable but things changed, and I think the enemy hated us together. Even his parents started telling us that we were not ready for marriage but we felt we were until we started listening to others which drove things apart.
What do you think happened?
Sounds like you both weren't ready for marriage and this person was not the one for you since he was living in sin and you went into with him. Just my thoughts since you asked :)
I'm also alone but I di trust God to send someone my way. I will wait patiently and know that there is someone for me
Keep up the good word mark, thanks
Thanks James!
The music was a nice touch to this message. you should do that for every video ♥️ thanks again mark for another great message
Please pray me. I’ve been feeling a change and move. It’s been hard. But the Lord know I need the prayers.
God bless as you seek the Lord's will!
I am at this place right now. Please pray for me. That i stay on the right path that GOD has me on. I am asking for revelation please. Thanks and GOD BLESS YOU.
God bless as you seek the Lord's leading
Whoa. This just confirms of my current situations. Economically I'm stuck.
God bless as you seek the Lord's leading
Thank you Mark, this is well said… God is so good
Amen, God is good!
Really found this useful and relatable. Thanks Mark and God bless 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Amen ❤️❤️❤️🙏
God bless!
Lord, have Mercy!!!
Amen!
Thank you for this video, Mark! I always appreciate all of your content, it has been so helpful to my walk with Christ. If it is something that other people are also curious learn, would you be able to give us advice on how to find a church with an actual backbone? I know this is completely off from the usual types of relationship videos you post, but I am struggling to find a church that doesn’t adopt progressive Christianity ideas. I unfortunately live in a very progressive city with my family and it has been incredibly hard to see all the wickedness here. Would you recommend any other sources to seek to find a Church with conservative Christian values? God bless you!
Listen I moved from home to Iowa last year and now I've been having dreams about moving again recently
AMEN 🙏
God bless!
Im living in a place where i feel so alienated. Its challenging given that a year ago, everything was laid out nicely. Suddenly now im living in muslim country.
People ridicule my thought and speech pattern.
In the house that im currently renting, my housemate is not someone you would call tolerable.
I really want to move out. So far God has not answered my prayers. Im clueless on where to go. Im not in a good state in terms of my spiritual walk with God. Im terrified of everyone and everything that happens
Im still waiting on God. Im still waiting for something from Jesus to happen.
Thanks for the video, Mark! My parents were actually talking about wanting to move houses, but none of these three points relate to them. The first part of part 3 could be relatable to me maybe... I still have a few more years to figure that out!
Thank you for this very helpful video!
I feel my city is consumed by sin, is being punished and I feel is going to get worst, but so is the whole Country :(
People obsession with sin is turning the world into Sodom and Gomorrah
Good video. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Thank you, Mark. God bless.
How many times do I have to move as I’m feeling lost. In god I trust and being alone is scary even though god is with me. In his name amen
that's a personal question. You may not have to move at all. feelings aren't usually changed by an environmental change. Focus on God and seek the peace he can give, Philippians 4
I don't know if it's the right time for me to move just yet but could you pray that I get clarity on that? Thanks in advance. ✝️🙏💯
God bless as you seek the Lord's guidance on this
god told me loud and clear. out of state
Nice content Mark! Thanks 😊
So glad it was helpful!
Struggling with the idea of moving I just graduated from college going to pursue my masters degree but I do feel called to move now I just don’t know where to tho
Thank you Mark
My pleasure Michael!
Thanks Mark.
My pleasure!
I... think this might be confirmation. I've been in talks with Wycliffe regarding working on translation of the Bible for unreached people-groups, but that would require me actually going overseas (I tried finding work I could do from home as I continue my education but nothing permanent has panned out so far). It's kinda scary because I'm really introverted and have never been out of the States (ironically, it's not the travel itself since I'm used to that).
God bless!
I’m starting to wonder if we should change churches. Never really found a community here, I’ve found a few times that they’ve embellished the truth about some things that bother me, certain things my pastor has done & now they don’t seem like they’ve made good on something they said they’d do which was really important to me. Idk. I still feel like there’s a lot of growth I get from the church & pastor & we’ve gone here for 4 years. Not sure what to do.
Also might have to physically move bc I can’t find work. So maybe that’s another indicator too. I feel like God’s telling me we’re going to get to keep our house I just don’t see how.
Some soil is not good grounds for growing ❤
4th sign : when you feel like its time to move, then get a pop-up notification for THIS video
lol :)
God sees things before it happens that’s why he tells us to move to new place. We don’t see it he does🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😇🙏🙏 I am leaving this island from my family no one helping me out there. There all against me. I have a job and my boss trying to sabotage me. That’s sign from god telling me u should leave. 🚨💯🙏🙏🙏😇😇💯💯
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 6Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. 7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD. 8Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Amen!
Shake the dust off your feet your feet and move on
I don't know if you'd agree, Mark, but I urge people to also build good online Christian communities because a sound local church can be few and far between nowadays and people live in all kinds of places hostile to the Gospel. However, even that isn't the full answer.
I had to withdraw from an online Christian group earlier this year after years of seeing it gradually turn into an eisegesical echo chamber clique against the warnings of many who once held it as a safe place to raise difficult, but meaningful, topics on scripture.
As a more mature Christian I had stayed to try being a friend to those who were younger in the faith and needed direction so they wouldn't be led astray. However, I sadly saw Spirit-filled, new converts gradually become cold, lost and ensnared and the Admin indifferent to it neglecting the pastoral role their position gave them. Biblical orthodoxy, sound exegesis and holiness were mocked while false converts displayed evil fruit such as vileness, compromise and sacrilege as just part of "the walk of faith". No conviction for sin anymore.
I figured I'd taken enough poison arrows but I felt an anger about the damage they caused to those who needed Christ. When your senses are dead you can't smell smoke and you can't feel fire; such is the way for all from whom the Holy Spirit departs. So, may God forgive them because they don't know (or sense) what they do!
I think online communities can be helpful as an addition to a good local church, but they are different and cannot offer pastoral or true Christian fellowship as God designed. The temptation is to substitute fellowship with online connection, but in the Bible there is an emphasis on gathering. the book called "One Assembly" by Jonathan Leeman is helpful
Dang... I feel attacked 🤣😂. Mark showed my home city of Vegas. Well I guess I should've known that was coming. It is nicknamed sin city.
lol, yeah, it's definitely the go to sin city example
Amen Amen 🙏🏾
God bless!
🤚 I'm looking for a Church in Beverly Massachusetts???
First viewwwwww 😤😤
🤣🤣🤣🤣
nice!
🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤✝️✝️
God bless!
I don't know
I just don't understand when God's talking to me.I don't get it. I'm an idiot. Please help me god.
🔥
God bless!
Amen
Do you guys think that this emphasis with tons of videos that kinda "foretell" God's will for you is good? I am not talking negatively of him but just curious.
no, I don't think most of the videos in this category are good. That's why I avoid saying this or that will happen. Rather, I give biblical principles that people can apply and which can give them guidance on what God wants them to do in specific situations.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
God bless!
moved to another country 😏🙃....
God bless!
Man….
