@@aishanusoul you need to separate. Infatuation isn’t good for a woman (or for anyone). You need to cut things out, get space, and give your brain a chance to get back to normalcy. Usually, after a long time has passed (a month or more), you will be able to see the situation for what it is by then, and make appropriate decisions if necessary.
Infatuation usually is a cover up for pain. You're in some sort of emotional pain and are hoping to escape yourself by getting into a relationship with another person.
Not the only way one could be infatuated. One could desire a genuine relationship. Sometimes, it has little more to do with pain, and much more to do with the desire alone to attain a relationship. Desire isn't always rooted in pain.
Good stuff. People "say" they are christian all the time. Don't tell me show me. How many people don't read their bibles? How many people read the bible but don't live it? Definitely need to make sure they are walking with God.
Testing of the spirit is important. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. -1 John 4:1
Exactly you can always tell by there fruits I don't say I'm a Christian I say I have a relationship with God, I don't promote religion in reality it's about a relationship with our Savior
infatuation is similar to idolatry, intense or short lived admiration but love is sacrificial for benefitting others (John 15:13) serving inspite they dont deserve it. 2) An infatuated person is more interested in your external beauty like popularity, skill or beauty 3) if the relationship is moving fast this is a sign of infatuation ( take time to find out more of this person) 4) infatuation is when your expectations are way above your experiences
This video is a blessing!! One thing that also helps me overcome infatuation is by journaling a list of things I DO NOT like about the person I am infatuated by. It's so easy to get bewitched by their good looks and charm, but it becomes dangerous when I brush off the things I don't like about them-- it becomes fantasy at that point. Plus, when I sit down and write all their flaws, it reminds me that they are also created by God. Not only that, but they too have been tainted by sin in this world, they too struggle with life's tribulations, etc. When I do that, I am able to REDIRECT MY AFFECTION to Christ, and ask Him if it is His will for me to be a light in this person's life, may His will be done.
This really changed my life. I now look at guys the way God sees them! Wish someone told me this when I was like 13 years old. I wouldn’t of had so many crushes! Thank you Thank you!
I can tell if I’m infatuated if I think I’ll be devastated if the guy chooses someone else. If I can honestly pray for his well being and God’s will for the both of us, I know I just love him and want the best for him, even if that means another woman.
You do tend to put their wants and needs ahead of your own. You love to see them do well and you help them as much as you can. You can stick with them through thick and thin I say you can love someone who is far away or close in proximity. You know they are human and you keep that in mind. You know the person of them well and you encourage their goals and them reaching for their goals you'd never isolate them and you'd never try to hurt them. If you're away or they are, you'll miss them. I couldn't say you'll never leave them, but you wouldn't if you know it's their time of need. If you like someone they'll be influence to you you may mirror what they do you'll try to find similarities infatuation does come along and leave quickly it can turn into true love or it would probably die I say if you are dating someone, date them a while. Don't rush marriage with them and be chaste otherwise you can confuse the two and when the infatuation ends so would the relationship between the two of you if you are experiencing I'd think love would be an obvious thing and itself simple to understand. I don't think I know a thing about it though.
I wish I would have seen this video last year when I was having an infatuation love and thought this is the real love I was expecting. Although the signs were there since the beginning I didn't want to listen the voice of God because He warned me but I thought I will manage somehow and we will work out in the end. I had to broke up with my ex-girlfriend and end up any connection with her because all these signs here you presented I have felt on my own. I had to pass through a spiritual battle and suffered depression,psychosis,anxiety because of this trial and toxic relationship but finally after 6 months God lifted me up and I am way better than before,have my eyes opened and focus on the relationship with Him. I can see clearly now and I feel that He is calling me and He has provided me with a better plan for me in future and a godly wife. Thanks for sharing these with us here and I am sure you help lots of young people to choose the right path in life and having a blessed marriage. God bless you!
SixStringsCovers amen! I’ve recently broken up with my ex like two weeks ago. At the beginning it was great he was a good guy good head on his shoulders, good manners, a gentleman, and he was going to law school. Right then and there I filled in the blinks to what I wanted to believe in and coming across this video I’m realizing it was infatuation. I as well didn’t wanted to listen/see the signs God was trying to tell/show me. And then at the end of the relationship my ex disrespected me by being unfaithful. I am too going through all the emotions slight depression but I’m pushing through with God on my side. Seeking Him more and more. Trying to learn and grow. God bless you that you finally got your breakthrough and to know that I’m not the only one. And God bless this video.
I am so happy you learned and listened to GOD in the end. It does happen to us...but in the end I hope we grow and learn and ultimately change from it. I think you have already. Share and teach others.
How to tell if it is infatuation:- 1. More emphasis on someone's external qualities than their internal qualities. Focus on inner qualities. 2. Speed ⏩ 3. Disappointment.
It's a boundary issue. Set your mind on things above. Create boundaries around your heart and focus on Christ. When our eyes are fixed .. we are less likely to be distracted by the shiny things meant to trip is up.
Emotionally charged train wrecks. Infatuation or 'puppy love' is another word for making another human being a temporary god, a deliverer. 'Please!' it screams, 'Please deliver me from my loneliness, you're exactly what my soul wants, you are the person that can satisfy the longing in my soul'. But really what they want is a cover-up for the lust of their flesh and the lie that they must replace the LORD God with a god of sinful flesh. They want someone to satiate their unchecked passions and to stroke their egos. It is the greatest needful disappointment to realize that a mere person makes for a horrible deity. Like clinging to an idol that disintegrates to dust when you reach out to caress it. That's what it's like to cling to a person to satisfy every longing. What is man anyways? One day that handsome hunk will turn to dust. One day that hot babe will be in the ground. Physical appearance and ability is fleeting. We have nothing to boast of and can't even draw one breath apart from the grace and allowance of God. We can't move our feet or tongues apart from His sovereignty. Infatuation is nothing more than temporary worship of created being. When we look to a person to satisfy, we anger the LORD God intensely with our idolatry. It is just as bad as bowing down to a stone god or golden calf. The devotion will only last so long. Hot passions cool off, then what's left? What does it to the worshipper? And what does it do to the worshipee? (Is that even a word??) For any person to accept the worship of another is absolutely pride and narcisissm. Oooh but it feels so good to be wanted and adored, doesn't it? It feels so good to feel you are completing another person? It just sounds so right doesn't it? Wrong! Only GOD is meant to fill that role. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me". That means GOD is first AND it means we are to present no other gods in His sight (before Him, in His presence). Scary to claim His Name and then forget all about him and go worship your 'crush' or 'lover' night and day in your thoughts, your dreams, your fantasies and escapades. Sensual and emotional Infatuation is a perversion that has been normalized and called 'falling in love'. No, infatuation is a sin that ranks right up there with bowing down in worship to golden calves. Accepting another's infatuation is the sin of pride and rebellion because it denies GOD is the ultimate authority and only HE deserves that honor. From someone who is contently married :)
A lot of that comes from from hard face plants and experiences. It’s from our own brokenness, and while I have to daily cry out to God and walk under His authority, I do mourn for those who suffer and are in bondage to those idols. I was one of them. Deliverance and healing is about God, not us. I thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your videos , they are helping me tremendously. I got involved with a very toxic man and I am realizing it wasn’t real love at all but a false infatuation. He turned out to be a chronic narcissist and I am in the fight for my life to break free.
The part about things moving too fast waa definitely me. I had not taken time to know her and was pressured by her and her family into "marrying" her. She lied to me after I'd given some items for bride price. When I found out,I wanted to end it,but she cried and begged and begged and I stayed with her out of pity and for fear of not wanting her with someone else. Our relationship turned sour and verbally and physically abusive. We fought most times and she hardly ever said sorry. I realize I was more obsessed with her looks and what I thought was her character but in essence was not. The fact that I I traveled to another country and brought her there and she got an opening in the US and chose that over me kind of makes me realize she never even loved me. I made too many sacrifices for her but she did none for me. We were warned not to proceed with anything when an electrophoresis test revealed we are sickle cell disease carriers. She clung on to me and said we'd brave it but I kept wondering what I was doing preparing to start a life of agony having kids that will likely have such a painful disease. My family and friends all warned me. After 6 months of having moved in together, we broke up when she chose her trip to the US. I am angrier at myself for ignoring the warning signs. There were so MANY red flags but I didn't listen nor seek God's face. Please pray for me folks.
Wah, kind of knew that as when my friend said, be friends first. I took that as a sign to slow down and now I am really slowing down and waiting on the lord.
The problem with infatuation is that you do not know what it is until you may have gone through it. Like crushes and puppy loves. Lust is a different thing.
To be honest, we don’t really know how we will respond to situations until we’re in them. In our heads we know what is and isn’t right but it may not be connected to our hearts. I fasted and prayed for 4 years. I did everything I believed that God wanted. Then when I started dating again it was like my old life came back. I don’t think I was purposely trying to sabotage God either. I was in such a vulnerable state and sin is blinding. Not enough people are aware of how seducing spirits work, how every thought isn’t our thoughts and even if we know those thoughts are demonic, they feel true. Explains why so many god-fearing Christians fall into death traps, literally. Not everything is good, but everything works out for His good. ❤️
Kind of like how one can view a pastor or church leader so highly and esteem them as an amazing servant of God; Then something happens with them and most get offended and leave the church or stop giving offerings. They forgot that church leaders are just like them and need prayer support because they sin too.

Yes you’re right, not all carrying the bible are godly no ! I agree to that 😊 that’s why we need to read the bible for us not to deceive. I enjoyed listening to your video which helpful and biblical way.Thank you thank you so much to God be the glory..God bless you Ptr.Mark
That’s my question. Lord tell me where I stand. Am I infatuated? Where do I stand with you Father? Do I love or do I admire this person? Did you send this person? Are you walking with me Father? 💗💕
I literally just thought of this.. when my notification came up for this video I was like.. is he hearing my thoughts 😂😂👌 thanks I love your videos they are very helpful
The timing of this video is perfect. I find my workmate interesting. We had a small conversation few weeks ago and found him as a nice Christian. I want to know him more and if God would allow, build a connection with him.. I was praying to God to make me the woman he wanted me to and to help me deal with singleness and things like that. Then i came across ur channel/videos, I knew God is answering me through ur videos. THANK you so much for doing God's work. ☺🙏💙💜
Accurate statement, but the implication seems to be that you think this only happens to women. Smh. Remember to include gentlemen instead if just ladies next time. Jesus and His siblings speak against partiality.
@@gamingchannel7696 seriously? Did I mention that men don't go through this? No, my comment is directed to women. I think its time for you to take up a new hobby. P.s. I don't know what passage from the the Bible you're quoting. But Jesus Christ always lifted the woman race up because men treated them like nothing
Sometimes you do see qualities in a person that you think are amazing like faith but their behavior is diff. It’s not just about external things and what it seems like based on an interaction. That’s why it’s so difficult these days!
Hey Mark, I hope you are doing well! Have you done a video on how a person can improve in their daily walk with God? Maybe you could give us some insight into how you stay plugged in and invested in your relationship with God. Maybe you can also give some insight into how your days normally run and how you prioritize things.
Amen, this is for the message between being infctuated or in love. It sound more like a first impression judgement. Another is you dont know a person not until we live with them. You could know someone till a point only. But yes make sure you get to know the person till that point.Cause you could be great people and not be for each others or won't see that person like that after a while. They just might be other things that is not in your interest that you both might have differences in. Some people are not who they use to be.God bless you 👧🏼🙃📙
God's told me who my future spouse is going to be and it's been tough but I'm going to keep trusting God I got a word from someone a while back telling me the situation is in Gods hands and that it will bloom I just have to keep enduring and doing the things God wants me to do even when it doesn't make sense
This is good because it was hard to find a biblical video on this. @4:38 However, infatuation is not always external. It could be misguided emotions based on assumptions of character (based on internal reasons). @2:03 Requires salvation!!* @3:03 Requires equally yolked!!* @3:50 REQUIRES EQUALLY YOLKED!!* {Please edit to add text showing that salvation and equally yoked ARE required!}
I was thinking about this last night... just in time. The contents is more important than the container. But, physical appearance is important which is why I wouldn't be in a relationship with a girl I don't find attractive at all. It just doesn't make sense to me. However the true nature of the person is what matters most and what you really need to look out for. You need both-good enough on the outside and beautiful on the inside
I agree. There seems to be an emphasis in Christian circles on being entirely pragmatic about marriage and not considering the physical at all. I find this to be highly unrealistic and a recipe for disaster. If you're going to spend the rest of your life with someone, it had better be your best friend and someone that you're physically attracted to.
@@misspriss2482 That's true especially for guys since we're visually-stimulated. Just think King David and Bathsheba?? If there's no physical attraction,the relationship is doomed to fail.
Archangel 01 I agree. I recently felt myself liking or admiring a guy friend of mine and I saw the inside first and then after I saw that, I was like wow! It was like he was right under my nose for HOW long and I hadn’t even considered it or noticed at all? This guy ain’t so bad on the outside either. Lol. I don’t know if he’s “the one” but I have to say that it was like God was saying to me-I gotcha covered girl. You don’t have to just like the inside only-you can have both. Lol. And I think I felt both love and infatuation/desire at different times. I think the trick is keeping the infatuation/desire monster in our heads under control really. Not letting it spin out of control, even if there is also real love there too. And I think sometimes women might have a harder time with that, as we are often a lot more in tune with our own emotions and more comfortable feeling and expressing them than men are.
Thanks for posting. Was recently debating with my friend(happens to have relationship experience) about whether I’m experiencing infatuations and she said I’m not it’s probably true love. After watching this video I know she was right ...was thinking am obsessed and could have an infatuation.
Thank you for that video! That is an important topic for singles/young ppl. What I think is missing is the married/engaged perspective... Because in the process of getting to know someone you shouldn't be controlled by emotions, that's right. But as soon as you know someone you can and should be able to let go a bit of that control. I think it is amazing to be in love with your spouse. Maybe you could do a follow up video on remaining in love with one's spouse 🤔🙂
Charm can be misleading, and beauty is vain and so quickly fades, but this virtuous (wo)man lives in the wonder, awe, and fear of the Lord. (S)he will be praised throughout eternity. So go ahead and give her the credit that is due, for (s)he has become a radiant (wo)man, and all her loving works of righteousness deserve to be admired at the gateways of every city! Proverbs 31:30-31 TPT
We should let the Lord lead in our relationships. Everyone has different experiences, I believe purpose should be the reason why people get married. I also believe that the Lord will lead you to that person if you allow Him. Just my opinion.
Yeah people can go through unfair dismissals at work or get retrenched and loose everything and end up at parents... That's not a reason to not want to be with someone as you can marry someone and they can get retrenched or business flops ect and that's life and you have to stick it through ...
1.You focus on outer than inner apppearance. I do like his outer appearance, but his inner qualities stand out to me more. 2. Fast speed. Hasn't happened to me, quite the opposite actually! The guy I'm interested in is currently a friend of mine, but praying to God that it will be more! 3. Expectations above experiences. I don't really have expectations, but I do have hopes that I'll be able to talk to him, or that I'll see him randomly outside of church and such. I don't think that counts. And yes, while I am a planner, I do not get disappointed with him. Yes, if he'd rather talk to his other friends I don't feel overjoyed, but you can't expect when God is the real author and not a human. So overall, I don't think I am infatuated with my current crush. In elementary and middle school it was all about looks and personality. Then, my first church crush was about all of these magical fantasy lands that would probably never happen but made me feel good. Now, I am connecting with this inner personality from my current crush. May God the Father take away any "feelings" from my old church crush from last year unless if it is meant to be with him, and keep me away from infatuation! I can't be with both of the people, even though I am noticing my old crush's inner qualities now. Praying for discernment, please and letting go of what needs to move out!
I believe and realize I think that's the only form of love I've ever experienced. HOW do I fix my brain from falling to intense infatuation with unabailable abusers?!!! Like I won't know anything about them, but because I feel a magnetic chemistry, it just tells me that means they are an unavailable emotional abuser... STUCK. I'll be healing and doing well and then my brain will regress right back..😭😭😢🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@aishanusoulbasically is about God understand that the devil can also have love real human love rdy at disposal to keep you but it won't get your soul where it needs to be in the end and it won't have you focus on the love of God and make your life as hard as it can wich is a good thing bad wold if u where on the wrong path and there's no issues meaning God isn't even bothering with you but to fix it u gotta repent by stop lying hurting yourself and other people hating I mean u can drop people all day long and not have a drop of hate in yo heart I dunno if u can follow like reverence for life as a hole is not displayed in you current momentary speech and mannerisms as much as what your overall life direction by facts which is also whole school to be able to understand what lies behind the the deeds and the reasoning behind them so yeah u have to chill and want to understand yourself in larger scale think where u heading what u can do about it to improve even if u ok is not a sin to wanna be better there no law for good things meaning wee don't stop good stuff wee stop bad stuff assuming u know the difference the real difference between good and bad not all that looks like light is good not all that looks like darkness is bad if u you don't have yo heart pointed the right direction is gona be harder to know what is good even for you own self after a while and that's how crack heads appear..😄 I'm not judging I'm just explain mi theory as a student of life the better u understand things the better u can help I guess
Hi I'm not that much on RUclips haven't seen your question it's been three years if u see this I explain mi opinion on the matter more look under mi comment I'm answering this other person about it
I am just in a situation where it seems like this guy I like is doing one of two things. I feel that he is either 1) just stringing me along or 2) trying to go slow and just be friends for awhile. To me it seems like the friend phase is being dragged out to no end tho. So I’m over here like is it hang ups this guy has about emotional intimacy or just being cautious or prudent? It’s kind of hard on my emotions cuz while it’s all quite above board with physical contact, it just feels like some sort of blurred lines with where we are and where I really stand with him. My take on it is why can’t he just say I’d like to do friends first eh? I’m just doubting cuz I think a regular guy ought to be more clear about such things. I just don’t want to be the poster child for wasting months of my life on just being strung along by someone with no intention of moving forward into something more serious or committed. The emotional struggle and not being sure HAS pushed me to draw closer to God tho. So I’m like really-is this emotional torment/abuse or is this just some growing pains? I never have been at this juncture in life before with romance, so I find it difficult to split hairs on what is really happening. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks.
The sin vanity will be cleanse through Jesus Christ we will wash away our sins Eric this message is for tay Tay I love you cause I been through infatuated fake love
Yes they only use you they show no love at all they show you lies they post ugly post and talk bad about you behind your back and act different in front of you
Or there are a lot of people creating but need to be careful cause everyone is going through problems but you keep struggling through the relationship or future relationship if you love her you go through the struggle and show that you go through the struggle charm it but overtime if they come back well you going good with your working together
Hi Mark, how are you? It has been nice to see your channel grow and I think it is cool that you are making an Instagram page. I have a video suggestion. Would you be able to make a video about how to come out of prolonged singleness (ie 10 years or more) and how to start dating? I know several people (usually women) in the church who have never dated in their lives or haven't dated in 10 or more years and I would like to hear what your advice is. It would be cool to have a "basics" of relationships course for people with little to no romantic experience. Typically, my friends come from more conservative churches that preached hard line courtship but it is unfortunately paired with mostly older people in their church, a severe lack of attendance/ availability of young christian men, and they have no idea how to show interest in a man/get into a relationship because they haven't seen people get into relationships (older people tend to already have been married for 15 plus years).
I know a youtuber influencer name kasheena Baggo the Lord gives her and her husband arranged marriage they never date and no one can fathom how God should bless them are do things for God is divine accelerator. The Lord will break protocol depends on the grace you carry
I think that i will not idolizing any body. but proverb. 27 vs. 17vsays. Ieon sharpen sharpenethiron so a nan sharpeneth his countenance of his friend or his wives or husband this is a sound teachings.
I have to walk away from these videos, they are making more confused. All these things, but I had a spiritual experience where I knew her before even seeing or hearing her. So all this advice, but you can't teach them true discernment of the movement of the spirit.
Well that's me always start in infatuation and stay in until i give up because i realize she isn't the one. Love is in my vocabulary but i can't see it because there is a black bar on it
I can't promise you that my answer is solid but I believe it can. I've been struggling with depression for a little over a year now and a little bit before that I slowly began to develop a crush on a guy at my church. I had thoughts that maybe he was the one God wanted me to be with. That he was part of my future. However, our relationship hasn't grown since then. Nothing has changed on his end and as for me, I'm beginning to accept that it is an infatuation rather than actual love. I don't really know him yet I thought since my feelings have stayed, that I loved him. It sounds crazy but with the emotional and spiritual pain that I've been struggling with, I realize now that I'm trying to hide this pain and distract myself from it through getting butterflies when I think about him and see him. I am more in love with the feeling of happiness and excitement that I get rather than the person.
Is it just me or does anyone else hear manipulation, like you can't be infatuated with someone and love them at the same time. Calling it idolatry when really God doesn't need your help, he's just fine without you. You need him. How do you serve him? By serving your spouse. You serve God by serving your spouse (if you're married) because that is what he has called you to do. What's the harm in being infatuatingly in love with somebody really? You can't have that same "Romantic" love and feeling that you do for God like men and women experience with each other in which God designed. You Love God because of what he did for you and me, and because... Well, he's God, he's the epitome of Love.
I just REALIZED that my last relationship was ONLY INFATUATION .. NOT LOVE!!! WOW 😳😱😱😱😱😱 And SO was my 30 YEAR MARRIAGE... well at LEAST on my husband’s end!🤷♀️

Infatuation is seeing what you want to see. Love is seeing the person for who they are.
True, and for real love you need God
What if u don't know how to see a person. U think you do, but you don't and it's all u know
@@aishanusoul you need to separate. Infatuation isn’t good for a woman (or for anyone). You need to cut things out, get space, and give your brain a chance to get back to normalcy. Usually, after a long time has passed (a month or more), you will be able to see the situation for what it is by then, and make appropriate decisions if necessary.
Infatuation usually is a cover up for pain. You're in some sort of emotional pain and are hoping to escape yourself by getting into a relationship with another person.
So much truth.
Not the only way one could be infatuated. One could desire a genuine relationship. Sometimes, it has little more to do with pain, and much more to do with the desire alone to attain a relationship. Desire isn't always rooted in pain.
Exactly ☺️☺️
Sadly yes.
100% agree with you... I experienced this too
Infatuation is the breeding ground for a soul tie. This is lust in another form.
Good stuff. People "say" they are christian all the time. Don't tell me show me. How many people don't read their bibles? How many people read the bible but don't live it? Definitely need to make sure they are walking with God.
U must marry me Kevin on point 💍😊
Testing of the spirit is important.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. -1 John 4:1
Amen
Exactly you can always tell by there fruits I don't say I'm a Christian I say I have a relationship with God, I don't promote religion in reality it's about a relationship with our Savior
Amen!!! ❤️🤯💯🕊
infatuation is similar to idolatry, intense or short lived admiration but love is sacrificial for benefitting others (John 15:13) serving inspite they dont deserve it. 2) An infatuated person is more interested in your external beauty like popularity, skill or beauty
3) if the relationship is moving fast this is a sign of infatuation ( take time to find out more of this person)
4) infatuation is when your expectations are way above your experiences
This video is a blessing!!
One thing that also helps me overcome infatuation is by journaling a list of things I DO NOT like about the person I am infatuated by. It's so easy to get bewitched by their good looks and charm, but it becomes dangerous when I brush off the things I don't like about them-- it becomes fantasy at that point.
Plus, when I sit down and write all their flaws, it reminds me that they are also created by God. Not only that, but they too have been tainted by sin in this world, they too struggle with life's tribulations, etc. When I do that, I am able to REDIRECT MY AFFECTION to Christ, and ask Him if it is His will for me to be a light in this person's life, may His will be done.
Wow this is good ,I like this!
This really changed my life. I now look at guys the way God sees them! Wish someone told me this when I was like 13 years old. I wouldn’t of had so many crushes! Thank you Thank you!
So glad this was helpful!
I can tell if I’m infatuated if I think I’ll be devastated if the guy chooses someone else. If I can honestly pray for his well being and God’s will for the both of us, I know I just love him and want the best for him, even if that means another woman.
You do tend to put their wants and needs ahead of your own. You love to see them do well and you help them as much as you can. You can stick with them through thick and thin I say you can love someone who is far away or close in proximity. You know they are human and you keep that in mind. You know the person of them well and you encourage their goals and them reaching for their goals you'd never isolate them and you'd never try to hurt them. If you're away or they are, you'll miss them. I couldn't say you'll never leave them, but you wouldn't if you know it's their time of need. If you like someone they'll be influence to you you may mirror what they do you'll try to find similarities infatuation does come along and leave quickly it can turn into true love or it would probably die I say if you are dating someone, date them a while. Don't rush marriage with them and be chaste otherwise you can confuse the two and when the infatuation ends so would the relationship between the two of you if you are experiencing I'd think love would be an obvious thing and itself simple to understand. I don't think I know a thing about it though.
Amin! It's the best test in my case as well!
Yessss this is the first time I've ever loved someone.
I wish I would have seen this video last year when I was having an infatuation love and thought this is the real love I was expecting. Although the signs were there since the beginning I didn't want to listen the voice of God because He warned me but I thought I will manage somehow and we will work out in the end. I had to broke up with my ex-girlfriend and end up any connection with her because all these signs here you presented I have felt on my own. I had to pass through a spiritual battle and suffered depression,psychosis,anxiety because of this trial and toxic relationship but finally after 6 months God lifted me up and I am way better than before,have my eyes opened and focus on the relationship with Him. I can see clearly now and I feel that He is calling me and He has provided me with a better plan for me in future and a godly wife. Thanks for sharing these with us here and I am sure you help lots of young people to choose the right path in life and having a blessed marriage. God bless you!
SixStringsCovers amen! I’ve recently broken up with my ex like two weeks ago. At the beginning it was great he was a good guy good head on his shoulders, good manners, a gentleman, and he was going to law school. Right then and there I filled in the blinks to what I wanted to believe in and coming across this video I’m realizing it was infatuation. I as well didn’t wanted to listen/see the signs God was trying to tell/show me. And then at the end of the relationship my ex disrespected me by being unfaithful. I am too going through all the emotions slight depression but I’m pushing through with God on my side. Seeking Him more and more. Trying to learn and grow. God bless you that you finally got your breakthrough and to know that I’m not the only one. And God bless this video.
I am so happy you learned and listened to GOD in the end. It does happen to us...but in the end I hope we grow and learn and ultimately change from it. I think you have already. Share and teach others.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I had just the same situation recently ..😏
Literally in every single way my exact situation , only he was a boy. Praying for a man in God’s timing ! Amen ☺️
How to tell if it is infatuation:-
1. More emphasis on someone's external qualities than their internal qualities. Focus on inner qualities.
2. Speed ⏩
3. Disappointment.
I needed this when I was a teenager....this should be in youth church. They need to know the difference!
I hear this. 👏👏 were was this video 15 yrs ago... perhaps its hearing it. People have to to be ready to hear (self included)
It's a boundary issue. Set your mind on things above. Create boundaries around your heart and focus on Christ. When our eyes are fixed .. we are less likely to be distracted by the shiny things meant to trip is up.
Emotionally charged train wrecks. Infatuation or 'puppy love' is another word for making another human being a temporary god, a deliverer. 'Please!' it screams, 'Please deliver me from my loneliness, you're exactly what my soul wants, you are the person that can satisfy the longing in my soul'. But really what they want is a cover-up for the lust of their flesh and the lie that they must replace the LORD God with a god of sinful flesh. They want someone to satiate their unchecked passions and to stroke their egos. It is the greatest needful disappointment to realize that a mere person makes for a horrible deity. Like clinging to an idol that disintegrates to dust when you reach out to caress it. That's what it's like to cling to a person to satisfy every longing. What is man anyways? One day that handsome hunk will turn to dust. One day that hot babe will be in the ground. Physical appearance and ability is fleeting. We have nothing to boast of and can't even draw one breath apart from the grace and allowance of God. We can't move our feet or tongues apart from His sovereignty. Infatuation is nothing more than temporary worship of created being. When we look to a person to satisfy, we anger the LORD God intensely with our idolatry. It is just as bad as bowing down to a stone god or golden calf. The devotion will only last so long. Hot passions cool off, then what's left? What does it to the worshipper? And what does it do to the worshipee? (Is that even a word??) For any person to accept the worship of another is absolutely pride and narcisissm. Oooh but it feels so good to be wanted and adored, doesn't it? It feels so good to feel you are completing another person? It just sounds so right doesn't it? Wrong! Only GOD is meant to fill that role. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me". That means GOD is first AND it means we are to present no other gods in His sight (before Him, in His presence). Scary to claim His Name and then forget all about him and go worship your 'crush' or 'lover' night and day in your thoughts, your dreams, your fantasies and escapades. Sensual and emotional Infatuation is a perversion that has been normalized and called 'falling in love'. No, infatuation is a sin that ranks right up there with bowing down in worship to golden calves. Accepting another's infatuation is the sin of pride and rebellion because it denies GOD is the ultimate authority and only HE deserves that honor.

Youthful Flower Well Said. Your husband is a very Blessed Man
VERY TRUE!!!
Wow, that was well said.
Guess you should set up a channel and pass this message across.
This comment is excellent.
A lot of that comes from from hard face plants and experiences. It’s from our own brokenness, and while I have to daily cry out to God and walk under His authority, I do mourn for those who suffer and are in bondage to those idols. I was one of them. Deliverance and healing is about God, not us. I thank you for sharing.
It takes a lifetime to know a person 😁
God's timing is truly perfect! God bless you!
I was in love with someone and it was not infatuation.... But, I guess God had other plans ...which is good! Always obedient to God’s will ✝️🙏❤️
Thank you so much for your videos , they are helping me tremendously. I got involved with a very toxic man and I am realizing it wasn’t real love at all but a false infatuation. He turned out to be a chronic narcissist and I am in the fight for my life to break free.
The part about things moving too fast waa definitely me. I had not taken time to know her and was pressured by her and her family into "marrying" her. She lied to me after I'd given some items for bride price. When I found out,I wanted to end it,but she cried and begged and begged and I stayed with her out of pity and for fear of not wanting her with someone else. Our relationship turned sour and verbally and physically abusive. We fought most times and she hardly ever said sorry. I realize I was more obsessed with her looks and what I thought was her character but in essence was not. The fact that I I traveled to another country and brought her there and she got an opening in the US and chose that over me kind of makes me realize she never even loved me. I made too many sacrifices for her but she did none for me. We were warned not to proceed with anything when an electrophoresis test revealed we are sickle cell disease carriers. She clung on to me and said we'd brave it but I kept wondering what I was doing preparing to start a life of agony having kids that will likely have such a painful disease. My family and friends all warned me. After 6 months of having moved in together, we broke up when she chose her trip to the US. I am angrier at myself for ignoring the warning signs. There were so MANY red flags but I didn't listen nor seek God's face. Please pray for me folks.
Wah, kind of knew that as when my friend said, be friends first. I took that as a sign to slow down and now I am really slowing down and waiting on the lord.
The problem with infatuation is that you do not know what it is until you may have gone through it. Like crushes and puppy loves. Lust is a different thing.
Infatuation is a type of lust
To be honest, we don’t really know how we will respond to situations until we’re in them. In our heads we know what is and isn’t right but it may not be connected to our hearts.
I fasted and prayed for 4 years. I did everything I believed that God wanted. Then when I started dating again it was like my old life came back. I don’t think I was purposely trying to sabotage God either. I was in such a vulnerable state and sin is blinding. Not enough people are aware of how seducing spirits work, how every thought isn’t our thoughts and even if we know those thoughts are demonic, they feel true. Explains why so many god-fearing Christians fall into death traps, literally.
Not everything is good, but everything works out for His good. ❤️
There are several kinds of love
Loving god
Loving thy neighbour
Loving your partner
Loving your enemies
Loving this and loving that
Kind of like how one can view a pastor or church leader so highly and esteem them as an amazing servant of God; Then something happens with them and most get offended and leave the church or stop giving offerings.
They forgot that church leaders are just like them and need prayer support because they sin too.
Very good analogy.

Yes you’re right, not all carrying the bible are godly no ! I agree to that 😊 that’s why we need to read the bible for us not to deceive. I enjoyed listening to your video which helpful and biblical way.Thank you thank you so much to God be the glory..God bless you Ptr.Mark
That’s my question. Lord tell me where I stand. Am I infatuated? Where do I stand with you Father? Do I love or do I admire this person? Did you send this person?
Are you walking with me Father? 💗💕
I literally just thought of this.. when my notification came up for this video I was like.. is he hearing my thoughts 😂😂👌 thanks I love your videos they are very helpful
Amen, God is good!
The timing of this video is perfect. I find my workmate interesting. We had a small conversation few weeks ago and found him as a nice Christian. I want to know him more and if God would allow, build a connection with him..
I was praying to God to make me the woman he wanted me to and to help me deal with singleness and things like that. Then i came across ur channel/videos, I knew God is answering me through ur videos. THANK you so much for doing God's work. ☺🙏💙💜
I'm so glad this video was helpful!
I've been hurt by a man who was infatuated with me. Ladies, always guard your heart! Never rush in and believe a man's words!
How did he hurt you if you don’t mind my asking?
The Biblical Love is set apart from the worlds Love today. Check out a video o just made on this subject.
ruclips.net/video/e4JivBhin0c/видео.html
Accurate statement, but the implication seems to be that you think this only happens to women. Smh.
Remember to include gentlemen instead if just ladies next time. Jesus and His siblings speak against partiality.
@@gamingchannel7696 seriously? Did I mention that men don't go through this? No, my comment is directed to women.
I think its time for you to take up a new hobby. P.s. I don't know what passage from the the Bible you're quoting. But Jesus Christ always lifted the woman race up because men treated them like nothing
@@versatilelord8893 sorry but I don't share my personal life on public media
Love is deep and calm in its nature.
"That might be his mom's car and he doesn't even have a job" 😂😂😂
The way he said that just made me laugh so hard!
😂😂
I was like, @me next time Mark! Lol
So helpful. Thank you, Mark, so much.
Women especially need to be careful because we base many things on what we hear.
Lol on the woman carrying the Bible at Church. Hilarious. You are wise Mark. Thank you. Great content. 💒
Sometimes you do see qualities in a person that you think are amazing like faith but their behavior is diff. It’s not just about external things and what it seems like based on an interaction. That’s why it’s so difficult these days!
Could you please make a video that explores the so-called concept of "chemistry" between two people?
Hey Mark, I hope you are doing well! Have you done a video on how a person can improve in their daily walk with God? Maybe you could give us some insight into how you stay plugged in and invested in your relationship with God. Maybe you can also give some insight into how your days normally run and how you prioritize things.
Great idea! This video covers some of that ruclips.net/video/J8WGwKVOVho/видео.html
May our loving God always inspire you to be a continuous loving and blessing counselor like you are now
Amen, this is for the message between being infctuated or in love. It sound more like a first impression judgement. Another is you dont know a person not until we live with them. You could know someone till a point only. But yes make sure you get to know the person till that point.Cause you could be great people and not be for each others or won't see that person like that after a while. They just might be other things that is not in your interest that you both might have differences in. Some people are not who they use to be.God bless you 👧🏼🙃📙
There is no time it can be a life long struggle but it's there for a reason and you don't give up
Deep true love is a sacrificial love done to the benefit of another person.
John 15:13 : Love is commitment.
Thank you so much for this. The last point really hit me. Can't believe I've been infatuated for such a long time.
Oh, you are not the only one.
So true.
Very timely word as usual, really appreciate you going through the distinctions of what these words/ feelings mean. Thanks Mark 😊🙏👍
I’m 61 and I’m just NOW watching this and LEARNING .. God Bless 🙏
God's told me who my future spouse is going to be and it's been tough but I'm going to keep trusting God I got a word from someone a while back telling me the situation is in Gods hands and that it will bloom I just have to keep enduring and doing the things God wants me to do even when it doesn't make sense
Katie, I'm interested to hear from you, how did it go with this person?
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the tragic story of Tamar from 2 Samuel 13 as an example of infatuation and disappointment.
This is good because it was hard to find a biblical video on this.
@4:38 However, infatuation is not always external. It could be misguided emotions based on assumptions of character (based on internal reasons).
@2:03 Requires salvation!!*
@3:03 Requires equally yolked!!*
@3:50 REQUIRES EQUALLY YOLKED!!*
{Please edit to add text showing that salvation and equally yoked ARE required!}
I'm thinking way to much about marriage and kids with a woman. I said I'm in love however after 2 months I believe it's not true love.
I was thinking about this last night... just in time. The contents is more important than the container. But, physical appearance is important which is why I wouldn't be in a relationship with a girl I don't find attractive at all. It just doesn't make sense to me. However the true nature of the person is what matters most and what you really need to look out for. You need both-good enough on the outside and beautiful on the inside
I agree. There seems to be an emphasis in Christian circles on being entirely pragmatic about marriage and not considering the physical at all. I find this to be highly unrealistic and a recipe for disaster. If you're going to spend the rest of your life with someone, it had better be your best friend and someone that you're physically attracted to.
@@misspriss2482 That's true especially for guys since we're visually-stimulated. Just think King David and Bathsheba?? If there's no physical attraction,the relationship is doomed to fail.
Archangel 01 I agree. I recently felt myself liking or admiring a guy friend of mine and I saw the inside first and then after I saw that, I was like wow! It was like he was right under my nose for HOW long and I hadn’t even considered it or noticed at all? This guy ain’t so bad on the outside either. Lol. I don’t know if he’s “the one” but I have to say that it was like God was saying to me-I gotcha covered girl. You don’t have to just like the inside only-you can have both. Lol. And I think I felt both love and infatuation/desire at different times. I think the trick is keeping the infatuation/desire monster in our heads under control really. Not letting it spin out of control, even if there is also real love there too. And I think sometimes women might have a harder time with that, as we are often a lot more in tune with our own emotions and more comfortable feeling and expressing them than men are.
Thanks for posting. Was recently debating with my friend(happens to have relationship experience) about whether I’m experiencing infatuations and she said I’m not it’s probably true love. After watching this video I know she was right ...was thinking am obsessed and could have an infatuation.
Thank you for that video! That is an important topic for singles/young ppl.
What I think is missing is the married/engaged perspective... Because in the process of getting to know someone you shouldn't be controlled by emotions, that's right. But as soon as you know someone you can and should be able to let go a bit of that control. I think it is amazing to be in love with your spouse.
Maybe you could do a follow up video on remaining in love with one's spouse 🤔🙂
I'm not Christian by any means but I still appreciate this video. Namaste 🙏
I'm glad it was helpful to you, God bless
Could you do a video on how to maybe get rid of those feelings of infatuation you have for a person?
I pray them away bro. God had always been kind enough to remove them from me.
Charm can be misleading, and beauty is vain and so quickly fades, but this virtuous (wo)man lives in the wonder, awe, and fear of the Lord. (S)he will be praised throughout eternity. So go ahead and give her the credit that is due, for (s)he has become a radiant (wo)man, and all her loving works of righteousness deserve to be admired at the gateways of every city!
Proverbs 31:30-31 TPT
Very good Mark! So good. Maybe that's his mom's car and he doesn't have a job. I laughed so hard.
We should let the Lord lead in our relationships. Everyone has different experiences, I believe purpose should be the reason why people get married. I also believe that the Lord will lead you to that person if you allow Him. Just my opinion.
Yeah people can go through unfair dismissals at work or get retrenched and loose everything and end up at parents... That's not a reason to not want to be with someone as you can marry someone and they can get retrenched or business flops ect and that's life and you have to stick it through ...
Tho yeah can be pretty funny :)
@@rolaine733 can you elaborate on how you said purpose should be the reason for 2 people to marry.
can people idolize being sacrificial? cuz im always sacrificing and im easily attracted to the idea that i will serve a partner in the future
Wow that is me too.
I feel that infatuation is the similarity of love is a word that base in reality or getting healthy relations ship. blessed teachings.
"maybe that's his mom's car and he doesn't even have a job"😂😂😂😂another great video 👍
Hahaha, so glad it was helpful!
Mark Ballenger don't be so quick to judge. he has a job, valet 😂
@@godswordsaves7673 too good hahaha
Hallie😅😅😅😅👍👍
That cracked me up too!
1.You focus on outer than inner apppearance. I do like his outer appearance, but his inner qualities stand out to me more.
2. Fast speed. Hasn't happened to me, quite the opposite actually! The guy I'm interested in is currently a friend of mine, but praying to God that it will be more!
3. Expectations above experiences. I don't really have expectations, but I do have hopes that I'll be able to talk to him, or that I'll see him randomly outside of church and such. I don't think that counts. And yes, while I am a planner, I do not get disappointed with him. Yes, if he'd rather talk to his other friends I don't feel overjoyed, but you can't expect when God is the real author and not a human.
So overall, I don't think I am infatuated with my current crush. In elementary and middle school it was all about looks and personality. Then, my first church crush was about all of these magical fantasy lands that would probably never happen but made me feel good. Now, I am connecting with this inner personality from my current crush. May God the Father take away any "feelings" from my old church crush from last year unless if it is meant to be with him, and keep me away from infatuation! I can't be with both of the people, even though I am noticing my old crush's inner qualities now. Praying for discernment, please and letting go of what needs to move out!
Thank God I found this video
I just emailed you, but I am so happy I came across this video. In part it answered my question.
If it is unhealthy it is infatuation.
That's when your dreams come true when you go through the struggle
INFATUATION IS A SIDE EFFECT OF TRAUMA
alex coli can u share more about this? :)
I believe and realize I think that's the only form of love I've ever experienced. HOW do I fix my brain from falling to intense infatuation with unabailable abusers?!!! Like I won't know anything about them, but because I feel a magnetic chemistry, it just tells me that means they are an unavailable emotional abuser... STUCK. I'll be healing and doing well and then my brain will regress right back..😭😭😢🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@aishanusoulbasically is about God understand that the devil can also have love real human love rdy at disposal to keep you but it won't get your soul where it needs to be in the end and it won't have you focus on the love of God and make your life as hard as it can wich is a good thing bad wold if u where on the wrong path and there's no issues meaning God isn't even bothering with you but to fix it u gotta repent by stop lying hurting yourself and other people hating I mean u can drop people all day long and not have a drop of hate in yo heart I dunno if u can follow like reverence for life as a hole is not displayed in you current momentary speech and mannerisms as much as what your overall life direction by facts which is also whole school to be able to understand what lies behind the the deeds and the reasoning behind them so yeah u have to chill and want to understand yourself in larger scale think where u heading what u can do about it to improve even if u ok is not a sin to wanna be better there no law for good things meaning wee don't stop good stuff wee stop bad stuff assuming u know the difference the real difference between good and bad not all that looks like light is good not all that looks like darkness is bad if u you don't have yo heart pointed the right direction is gona be harder to know what is good even for you own self after a while and that's how crack heads appear..😄 I'm not judging I'm just explain mi theory as a student of life the better u understand things the better u can help I guess
Hi I'm not that much on RUclips haven't seen your question it's been three years if u see this I explain mi opinion on the matter more look under mi comment I'm answering this other person about it
Best line "maybe he's a Jehovah's Witness" lol so true!
I am just in a situation where it seems like this guy I like is doing one of two things. I feel that he is either 1) just stringing me along or 2) trying to go slow and just be friends for awhile. To me it seems like the friend phase is being dragged out to no end tho. So I’m over here like is it hang ups this guy has about emotional intimacy or just being cautious or prudent? It’s kind of hard on my emotions cuz while it’s all quite above board with physical contact, it just feels like some sort of blurred lines with where we are and where I really stand with him. My take on it is why can’t he just say I’d like to do friends first eh? I’m just doubting cuz I think a regular guy ought to be more clear about such things. I just don’t want to be the poster child for wasting months of my life on just being strung along by someone with no intention of moving forward into something more serious or committed. The emotional struggle and not being sure HAS pushed me to draw closer to God tho. So I’m like really-is this emotional torment/abuse or is this just some growing pains?
I never have been at this juncture in life before with romance, so I find it difficult to split hairs on what is really happening. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks.
OH MY!! I feel the exact same way with my situation.
Amazing video that I really needed. Thank you!❤
Thank you for this video. I needed to hear this.
And I love that special girl cause you go through infatuated love to get you ready for real one
The sin vanity will be cleanse through Jesus Christ we will wash away our sins Eric this message is for tay Tay I love you cause I been through infatuated fake love
Yes they only use you they show no love at all they show you lies they post ugly post and talk bad about you behind your back and act different in front of you
Yes im going through this with someone I pushed away, but they are talking bad about me to my friends and now they all turned on me
EXACTLY ... HAVE TO BE FRIENDS FIRST ...
Or there are a lot of people creating but need to be careful cause everyone is going through problems but you keep struggling through the relationship or future relationship if you love her you go through the struggle and show that you go through the struggle charm it but overtime if they come back well you going good with your working together
Infatuation you dont see that person realistically or holistically When you love them you see flaws but are ok with those flaws
Hi Mark, how are you? It has been nice to see your channel grow and I think it is cool that you are making an Instagram page.
I have a video suggestion. Would you be able to make a video about how to come out of prolonged singleness (ie 10 years or more) and how to start dating? I know several people (usually women) in the church who have never dated in their lives or haven't dated in 10 or more years and I would like to hear what your advice is. It would be cool to have a "basics" of relationships course for people with little to no romantic experience. Typically, my friends come from more conservative churches that preached hard line courtship but it is unfortunately paired with mostly older people in their church, a severe lack of attendance/ availability of young christian men, and they have no idea how to show interest in a man/get into a relationship because they haven't seen people get into relationships (older people tend to already have been married for 15 plus years).
Thank you for these suggestions! I'll see what I can do
Infatuation is another soul tie. It's a No for me.
Infatuation doesn’t mean God isnot initiating that point of entry for a Godly union to develop.
I know a youtuber influencer name kasheena Baggo the Lord gives her and her husband arranged marriage they never date and no one can fathom how God should bless them are do things for God is divine accelerator. The Lord will break protocol depends on the grace you carry
I think that i will not idolizing any body. but proverb. 27 vs. 17vsays. Ieon sharpen sharpenethiron so a nan sharpeneth his countenance of his friend or his wives or husband this is a sound teachings.
Whatever you are attracted now will. look a lot different in the next 20 years.
Thank you Mark!
Good bless you!
It’s easy to detect infatuation. The individual will tell you themselves.
Thanks ALOT!
May God bless you !
Thank you, and may the Lord bless you too!
Infatuation vanishes just as quickly as it rises.
I have to walk away from these videos, they are making more confused. All these things, but I had a spiritual experience where I knew her before even seeing or hearing her. So all this advice, but you can't teach them true discernment of the movement of the spirit.
I'm so blessed
That's when the good comes
You are a blessing Mark! Thank you so much!
It is but it's one sided it's there to get you
You're awesome! Thank you.
i do my reading of the bible early in the morning at 3 am when i am not drugged to sleep through the night!!!
Well that's me always start in infatuation and stay in until i give up because i realize she isn't the one. Love is in my vocabulary but i can't see it because there is a black bar on it
Believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and be saved.
This helps me tremendously thank you brother and Godbless
So the question is, if depression can lead to vulnerability, can it then lead to infatuation?
I can't promise you that my answer is solid but I believe it can. I've been struggling with depression for a little over a year now and a little bit before that I slowly began to develop a crush on a guy at my church. I had thoughts that maybe he was the one God wanted me to be with. That he was part of my future. However, our relationship hasn't grown since then. Nothing has changed on his end and as for me, I'm beginning to accept that it is an infatuation rather than actual love. I don't really know him yet I thought since my feelings have stayed, that I loved him. It sounds crazy but with the emotional and spiritual pain that I've been struggling with, I realize now that I'm trying to hide this pain and distract myself from it through getting butterflies when I think about him and see him. I am more in love with the feeling of happiness and excitement that I get rather than the person.
Thank you so much for the video.
It doesnt mean physically attractive people are bad...and physically unattractive (by social standard) people are good.
That was extremely helpful ty 😅
Thank you for this ... God bless you!
Is it just me or does anyone else hear manipulation, like you can't be infatuated with someone and love them at the same time. Calling it idolatry when really God doesn't need your help, he's just fine without you. You need him. How do you serve him? By serving your spouse. You serve God by serving your spouse (if you're married) because that is what he has called you to do. What's the harm in being infatuatingly in love with somebody really? You can't have that same "Romantic" love and feeling that you do for God like men and women experience with each other in which God designed. You Love God because of what he did for you and me, and because... Well, he's God, he's the epitome of Love.
I just REALIZED that my last relationship was ONLY INFATUATION .. NOT LOVE!!!
WOW 😳😱😱😱😱😱
And SO was my 30 YEAR MARRIAGE... well at LEAST on my husband’s end!🤷♀️
