I like that,and hopefully it is not sometimes for my case because i don't ask anything else beside the one that God says 'no' if He really say "No' ,because i don't know what God really say to me anyway.
ARM BAR I have heard it said that God answers in 3 ways 1. Yes 2. Wait or 3. I have something better. - God speaks to you the clearest through the Bible. I recommend you read the book of John. God Bless you.
And then u keep hoping because u think " not now " but ans still not untill someday u realize the " yes " from god that u avoid when god give u something and u reject it just because " no " no more
This was amazing, I currently sold my car to get out of debt completely, I’m debt free! but have no car and using Uber to get around, I was tempted on several occasions to take out a car loan but God has closed the door several times when I went to go apply for a loan or refinance, the other morning I stumbled on the Bible verse in proverbs the borrow is a slave to the lender, and from there on I knew God was telling me something..like for me to save up for a car so I won’t have to go back in debt, it’s tough because I live in Los Angeles and you need a car here! but I trust in him 🙏🏾
Maybe he'll teach you something through walking. My faithful aunt had walked all kinds of places in her life. God even had people give her rides. She's met so many friendly people. I'm sure she sewed the seeds of jesus on some hearts
Have you tried Express Drive with Lyft? I was just researching it for myself and I came across your comment. You need to drive a lot but you save instead of getting a rental car outright - and costs less to rent and drive for rideshare than actually buying a ride. Can use them for personal use too, just have to drive too. The pay isnt great - but if you have no car otherwise you're basically getting a free rental.
Melissa Cintron Ministries However when we get the knowledge and out the word of God unto practice, we start to FEEL what is right and wrong, especially when we are intuitive and sensitive and reflective.
You are on target when you say, it is a NO from God when the more you pursue it, the more distant you will feel from God, even if it initially appears right. Opposed to something God has allowed which is difficult, but it will in the end draw you closer to God. I have experienced both and learned some valuable lessons in it.
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger hello how are things I have major depression I had family problems and don't know where I am going with my life and I am now frequently thinking of giving up does prayer really help when you are going through a difficult time
@@SorcererOfDnipro so sorry for you... A relationship with God is the most important relationship you can have! I pray God visits you with miracles and answers
I’m 27 and I’m stuck in a bad relationship. I pray to God everyday to show me the way out and help me find my path. Stay strong and remember it’s always better to be single than in an unwanted relationship. God bless!
GOD guides me in the most misterious and amazing ways and he taught me awareness. I personally can't explain how I hear him but I know when he speaks to me, clearly. GOD bless you
All relationships I have been in (before I accepted Christ) have been a failure, I’d always force it to carry on, but deep down I knew it wouldn’t last...even if I wanted it too. God does things to protect us, and we have to humbly admit that we are the ones that cause problems for ourselves.
Wow, I say Yes to God right now after watching this video! The spirit knows all I'm trying to make a relationship when God's saying NO! I repent in Jesus Name! Thank you Holy spirit I can't deny this is you! I know how much you love me! Be Blessed dear brother
It's also man's society who says crap such as " " you have complete control of your life, blah, blah, blah" when in reality things happen or don''t happen.
I used to be the complete opposite. I used to rely on success, passion, and false joy from others. Now that I’m turning that around trying to do it for myself it’s hard. Hence, your statement, i am overwhelmed by forcing things. I used to be so patient until now. I’m losing hope. Everything seems harder now. Idk. It’s honestly tiring beyond feeling.
1:30 That is the tricky part. I had such a dilemma just last month with making a decision about whether to move to a different city or remain in my current one. Some unexpected difficulties arose in regards to moving to the other city by the time that I would have had to move there by. Additionally, God revealed to me some ways to expand my life and opportunities in my current city that I hadn't thought of before. In the end, I felt led to stay put.
Saw this at midnight God wants me to leave it at his hands let’s it flow naturally without me be forcing it for my desire I realise that I need to let God do his way .🙏

It’s more simple Pay attention to the resistance Of others Even more simple Never turn your back on god Listen to your heart and gut Over your mind Best way to listen to your heart Keep your mind clear walk without fear Be loving not sinful
god bless that too. The mind must be filled with God’s wisdom for one to make good decisions in life. High dopamine societal culture has condition or brains and hormones to think feel certain way so the word of God is our daily 🍞 The Holy Spirit always nudges to our spirit to override the flesh 🙏🏻
Andrea Becerra I AGGREE AND GOD BLESS you to wherever you are. Oh, that’s my username.. well, god..bless..you anyways 🤷🏽♀️😂 hope you’re having a great day 👍🏽 I was actually specifically directing it if there was a toxic/bad relationship involved. Sometimes, our feelings are so strong for the person and they aren’t good for us. And, we think we’re in love etc etc that’s not great 👎🏽 but we must use faith to overcome that ✨
And always ask God for confirmation in regards to anything coming from your heart! Remember we're still in the flesh, and sometimes sin will try to work through us (Romans 7, specifically 7:14-21) Jeremiah 17:9 New 9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And [a]desperately wicked; Who can know it?
If he said no it's not the right time because whatever he has plan for your life it shall be done in the name of jesus God's timing and what I know he's always on time at all time's for what's yours in the making amen
One thing I have been through in my life is when I decided to really follow Christ all trouble and hell came against me. I now have lost my marriage, and my house. However I have not lost the most precious thing to me, being is Christ's will. Looking back it really shows that sometimes when you decide to obey God expect fierce resistance, it won't be an easy come to you, but go and do as God desires of you. Sometimes it takes just bold faith and being willing to be made a fool to follow after Jesus. Something God told me last year " Stop building your kingdom and start building mine"
I liked the example of buying a car. It's not mentioned in the Bible, and it is not a sin. So you have to discern and consult with God whether you personally should or should not buy it. Another example I think is relevant is online dating. I know it's not a sin, but I still feel like God is saying no. The verse of Psalm 46:10, Be still and know that He is God, always comes to my mind.
Yes, online dating is another good example of Christians needing to make that personal choice between them and God. It's not or wrong but it could be for an individual depending on what God is leading them to do or not do. Thanks for sharing this :)
This CONFIRMED everything I have been battling with. Thank You Lord!!!!! He's been telling me Noooo for years and I did everything in this video. I know now.
God spoke to me thrice about my withdrawing bf. Once before the break- up, instructing me not to keep tjinking of him. God then went on to pinpoint the red flags i preferred to overlook. Then, after my bf broke with me, God reinforced the earlier No by showing how my bf had exacted irresponsibly, arrogantly and like a weak person. This happened when i was almost asleep. God told me to remember what He said. Your videos are sensitizing me snd teaching me to understand and recognize God' s voice. I am so grateful and so touched.
I listen to God's Word. Sometimes people hear what they want too hear. They believe what they want to believe. They say "It is the will of God." Always look to God's Word rather than what you want. May God bless you and your family. Amen.
This came at just the right time to confirm taking a step of faith! I was struggling with whether God wanted me to endure or to leave a situation, and with prayer, wise counsel, and this video confirming Ps. 32:8, I have peace. Thank you for being used for His glory, Mark!
Thankyou. At the right time. Glory to the Lord God🙏for instructing and giving me clarity upon what he has said before. Hallelujah to the Lord of lords and the King of kings, the Almighty God.🙌
OMG! I’ve done all of those in my past relationship…thank God i followed God’s NO and not forcing my own desire..thank you for this sermont. Totally gave me a confirmation.
Thank you 🙏🏽! I’ve been trying to force things in my life these past months and now that I have just let things flow, I have been feeling so much better!
very helpful video! I especially liked the first tip because it can be confusing knowing the difference between taking acting in faith vs. trying to make things happen in your own strength.
In the year 1990, I tried to go back to Active Duty in the Army. I ran into so many obstacles and so I did not go back. Yes, I was disappointed at the time;, but I feel that God protected me from something I didn’t need.
Thank you for posting this. I recently had to get some dental work done, and to be honest I wasn't sure if I should go ahead with it or if I should pay off some of what I owe for college. The no to use it on my tuition wasn't clear at first, but as I sought Him about it the discomfort rose, and eventually I got the impression that I was lacking in trust, and once I got the work done I no longer felt that discomfort.
I needed this so much. My husband and I feel called to adopt/foster. We have tried for 6 years and have been through so much heartache and doors closed. I finally stopped trying. It has been so hard. Then we had naysayers saying the closed doors were God saying no. A year has gone by and both of us still feel called to adopt. We have tried to forget this because it hurts, but the desire is even more intense. During the hard work and heartbreak of trying, it never made me feel farther from God. My walk and faith deepened. After listening to this I don't think it was God saying no, but a season that was a faith builder, character builder, perseverance builder, and eventually a testimony. I still am completely confident we are supposed to adopt, but I have no idea where to start. I need to pray A LOT!
I got it...it is a resounding no from Him. Thank you for helping me understand, this is hard to take and my heart is broken because of it. I trust Him but I am hurting deeply. Thank you again for helping me see if it's really a no.
Thank you so much for your teaching I thank Jesus for your call Be truly blessed for what you do The Holy Spirit guided me to you because I was looking for a specific answer that would show me that I am still in the plan of God And your words really touched me I had never heard this before that in some cases God asks us to work hard and to keep the faith At the very moment you uttered these words the Holy Spirit showed me all the failures experienced but which are in fact teachings because with each failure experienced the Holy Spirit made me discover certain facts that I was not even aware of in my heart He made me revealed some problem that was still present in me and it helped me to see it clearer But I thought after all these failures I wasn’t in his plan when in truth I still am because he continues to model me all the more because these failures bring me closer to him because I understand every time I really can’t live without him and that he is even better for me to entrust my life to him So thank you so much for your words and be completely blessed for what you do in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year and 6 months and in a long distance relationship. We haven’t seen each other in a year due to our families financial situation. We really want marriage but praying and asking God for his wisdom on things. I am praying the Lord leads me closer to him as there are better jobs out there. In my area there is hardly anything. Praying strongly God is saying yes for us to see each other soon and for marriage. I am willing to trust and wait on him rather then rush things.
Great video Mark. I've actually had all three signs working their way into my life recently so this video really cleared things up for me. I appreciate it! Praying that God will continue to bless you and keep you in His work, now and until the great day of eternity. Peace.
Oh this is so timely! I have been trying to get Summer work and many trials - I think God want to use this Summer month of August to encourage me to trust in HIM and rest not me, work or effort
Yesterday I broke up with my boyfriend that is half Christian and half atheist, it was very hard, but I knew it God wanted me to do it because it wasn’t his will. Before I went to bed, I heard God say to me “I’m working on him” (he said his name but I don’t want to say it lol). I’m glad that my Heavenly Father will be working on him, I just wonder where him I will be later on.
i’m currently dealing with something similar. i’m pursuing a relationship with a guy (atheist) who my parents already expressed they don’t think is right for me. i know that i can’t change him only God can. but i’m showing him God. its like my desire is to want to be with him romantically, but something is blocking it. i’ve already lead him on once, told him it wouldn’t work, and leading him on again. i told him that we can be together if we tried. i also said that i am willing to try and that i don’t want to “give up” is this just me forcing us to happen eventually? i need to just accept the fact that it is not going to work out. but i also am showing him Gods love and teachings. maybe the enemy is trying to block us because of this? he says he is willing to learn about God but he is not going to “convert”. but i’m also being drained from this too. i think that it is a no from God. he says that he really likes me, and that i make him happy, and that he wants to be with me, but i don’t really think he is doing much about it. i feel like i’m forcing it and pursuing it more than he is. i don’t feel like i’m growing with him in my life. he makes me happy, but only a temporary happiness kind of. like we have fun together laughing and hanging out. i really do love him but he is just not on the same path as me right now, and i am too young to have to deal with such a heavy weight.
This video just popped up when I was thinking what if God is trying to communicate 'No', what if He is trying to tell me to be careful! Thank you for this video!
This channel is absolutely amazing. Such great content! Precious biblical counseling. You're very wise and full of the holy spirit, brother. God bless you!!!
Wow, I'm searching for a new or used car and for a job after relocating. I'm praying to find a reliable and affordable transportation since I live in the country now and their is no public transport. Ive had car after car break down. My name is Rose please pray for me that God leads me to make the best financial decision.
@@robindear5043 theirs been many twists and turns since then but God provided! After 2 months of being stranded in the middle of nowhere with no car and barely any visitors all I had was God. I put an ad on let go app to sell/trade my broken down truck for a fee hundred bucks or trade for a vehicle for someone who could fix up vehicles. A girl my age 24 drove an hr to me and she towed my BROKEN down truck and i paid her $250 for a perfectly working but older car. She knew someone who could fix the truck and she really wanted it. Incredible! My truck needed at least over 1000 in repairs and didnt have a working radio and she still wanted it. God is so good!
@@stayrosy1852 That is wonderful. Praise God! Pray for me, as I am in a somewhat similar situation regarding needing quality transportation and a job that is more in line with what I believe God wants me to pursue.
Thank you for this video! I need prayers for me and my friend that if God wants us to start dating or not... I like her alot and we known each other for about 7 months... This video helped me... God Bless!💕🙏💕
The example with the car a the end is exactly what I’m going through to a degree. I can choose a career path that I just fell in love with and sparked a fire of passion within me but that career path isn’t ministry or something super outwardly praising God. Although I can praise him while doing that career, that career at the same time doesn’t condone God either so I don’t know what to do and I havnt gotten a clear answer so I guess I will wait. I obviously want a yes in my answer to pursue it but if it’s a no I will gladly accept that as well I just can’t tell if he’s saying no or not because I’m always in the middle between these things.
The thing is, sometimes, God is just silent, because the time is not right for you to get what he has to give you, so you have to exercise patience and wait. It is very hard to distinguish between a no and a wait.
Amen!! GLORY to GOD! Love you brother I learn alot from your channel the Holy Spirit always leads me too your videos when I need it as I connect in one Faith I feel so connected with you in Spirit our GOD is so good!!
These vids are so good. I only wish they had been around back in about 1998. Could have maybe stopped me from making some dumb mistakes that had a big and lasting negative impact on my life.
I've asked from him that even when I'm sure he knows best I'm in need of him to put a little of his faith on my hands. I've just broken up with a really nice guy because he is scared of commitment and not being able to do a good job and end up hurting me. I let him go and gave him space but I'm super sure he is supposed to come and learn love with me. So i asked god to help him open his eyes.
Faith is a lot easier said then done, my dad died three months ago from cancer. I prayed to god that he would do his will. And he did, not in the way I guess maybe I thought he would. My dad suffered for three weeks before he passed. And god told me that he wasn’t going anywhere until he found him. Then my friend tells me that he and the lord were squared away and that he made amends. But he didn’t tell me this because me and him were always at odds about faith. So now I’m kinda angry because he didn’t tell me and I don’t know who to believe. I miss him and I’m worried if he is ok because i haven’t seen him since he died.
I have a long term relationship with someone, not married. I live in UK. And shortage of housing, I am not happy in this relationship, but forced to live in same house. We get on ok. But only share house, and finances. He wants more, it is a difficult situation, but I am disabled, and can't do a lot, we rely on each other. Neither can afford to go out own way. But since I gave my life to Christ a year ago, I pray Jesus will look kindly on this situation. What do you think, you make so much sense. God Bless You.
Still waiting for my answer on reconciliation with my ex husband. I know this is scripturally correct. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11. I still love him even though he is not in love with me anymore. Will continue to pray.
Abhinav Iyer I’m not forcing anything. I am leaving it up to God. Sorry you don’t believe what God says about remarriage. Your problem not mine. That is the problem today - no one wants to fight for things that are good. It’s easier to move on as you put it and give up. Like I said before I am leaving it up to God not man or what man says. Thank you for your input.
How can you be equally yoked if he doesn't want the marriage? That man is supposed to cherish you and protect your heart, not tear it to shreds by not loving you the way Christ does. My question is, are you blaming yourself for his decision to leave you? Know your worth sis. It doesn't mean God doesn't want to restore your marriage, but at the same time of what youre posting is truth, then sis...that man needs to be broken due to his own sin and own up to his fault in the loss of his marriage and your trust

God told me to remember what He said. Your videos are sensitizing me snd teaching me to understand and recognize God' s voice. I am so grateful and so touched.
You give simple clarity to God's word in our lives. What a blessing for so many people. Thank you and God Bless!
The wisdom you exude in your videos, God is working through you. Thank you for being obedient, you are helping us.
Mark thank you for clearing up my ? about marriage God has said no not gonna lie the answer hurt but Jesus knows me best
This speaks to my heart so loud and clear. Thank you!
Glory to the Lord in the highest heaven.
Amen, glory to God!
Good video. We need to put God first.
Amen, God first always :)
Amen God knew that i put him first as a nmbr.#1 priority in my life then my 2 children...
I listen to God's Word. Sometimes people hear what they want too hear. They believe what they want to believe. They say "It is the will of God." Always look to God's Word rather than what you want. May God bless you and your family. Amen.
God bless you too!
Follow the scriptures.
This came at just the right time to confirm taking a step of faith! I was struggling with whether God wanted me to endure or to leave a situation, and with prayer, wise counsel, and this video confirming Ps. 32:8, I have peace. Thank you for being used for His glory, Mark!
Thankyou. At the right time. Glory to the Lord God🙏for instructing and giving me clarity upon what he has said before. Hallelujah to the Lord of lords and the King of kings, the Almighty God.🙌
OMG! I’ve done all of those in my past relationship…thank God i followed God’s NO and not forcing my own desire..thank you for this sermont. Totally gave me a confirmation.
Thank you 🙏🏽! I’ve been trying to force things in my life these past months and now that I have just let things flow, I have been feeling so much better!
very helpful video! I especially liked the first tip because it can be confusing knowing the difference between taking acting in faith vs. trying to make things happen in your own strength.
Thank you sir. For bringing the word and riding with the Holy Spirir
In the year 1990, I tried to go back to Active Duty in the Army. I ran into so many obstacles and so I did not go back. Yes, I was disappointed at the time;, but I feel that God protected me from something I didn’t need.
Thank you for posting this. I recently had to get some dental work done, and to be honest I wasn't sure if I should go ahead with it or if I should pay off some of what I owe for college. The no to use it on my tuition wasn't clear at first, but as I sought Him about it the discomfort rose, and eventually I got the impression that I was lacking in trust, and once I got the work done I no longer felt that discomfort.
Thanks for sharing this and I'm glad you found this video helpful
I have to say this video was exactly what I neeeed
I'm so glad it was timely and helpful for you! God bless :)
Thank you so muchh!! God bless you!🥰🥰
I needed this so much. My husband and I feel called to adopt/foster. We have tried for 6 years and have been through so much heartache and doors closed. I finally stopped trying. It has been so hard. Then we had naysayers saying the closed doors were God saying no. A year has gone by and both of us still feel called to adopt. We have tried to forget this because it hurts, but the desire is even more intense. During the hard work and heartbreak of trying, it never made me feel farther from God. My walk and faith deepened. After listening to this I don't think it was God saying no, but a season that was a faith builder, character builder, perseverance builder, and eventually a testimony. I still am completely confident we are supposed to adopt, but I have no idea where to start. I need to pray A LOT!
I got it...it is a resounding no from Him. Thank you for helping me understand, this is hard to take and my heart is broken because of it. I trust Him but I am hurting deeply. Thank you again for helping me see if it's really a no.
Always very clear and well explained. You truly are God's chosen for this purpose. Thank you and God bless 💓
Thank you so much for your teaching I thank Jesus for your call Be truly blessed for what you do
The Holy Spirit guided me to you because I was looking for a specific answer that would show me that I am still in the plan of God And your words really touched me I had never heard this before that in some cases God asks us to work hard and to keep the faith At the very moment you uttered these words the Holy Spirit showed me all the failures experienced but which are in fact teachings because with each failure experienced the Holy Spirit made me discover certain facts that I was not even aware of in my heart He made me revealed some problem that was still present in me and it helped me to see it clearer But I thought after all these failures I wasn’t in his plan when in truth I still am because he continues to model me all the more because these failures bring me closer to him because I understand every time I really can’t live without him and that he is even better for me to entrust my life to him
So thank you so much for your words and be completely blessed for what you do in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year and 6 months and in a long distance relationship. We haven’t seen each other in a year due to our families financial situation. We really want marriage but praying and asking God for his wisdom on things. I am praying the Lord leads me closer to him as there are better jobs out there. In my area there is hardly anything. Praying strongly God is saying yes for us to see each other soon and for marriage. I am willing to trust and wait on him rather then rush things.
I love u bro.. ur the man
Exactly! Brother
God bless!
Thank you- our God is good to say no.
Thank you this video is exactly what I needed. Forcing your agenda can get harder and harder to maintain and means God is saying no.
Timely advice and review.
Thank you brother for the word. God is speaking to me.
Great video Mark. I've actually had all three signs working their way into my life recently so this video really cleared things up for me. I appreciate it! Praying that God will continue to bless you and keep you in His work, now and until the great day of eternity. Peace.
Oh this is so timely! I have been trying to get Summer work and many trials - I think God want to use this Summer month of August to encourage me to trust in HIM and rest not me, work or effort
Awesome video once again! Thank you! God bless you 🙏
My pleasure Joshua! I'm so glad you found it helpful :)
Yesterday I broke up with my boyfriend that is half Christian and half atheist, it was very hard, but I knew it God wanted me to do it because it wasn’t his will. Before I went to bed, I heard God say to me “I’m working on him” (he said his name but I don’t want to say it lol). I’m glad that my Heavenly Father will be working on him, I just wonder where him I will be later on.
i’m currently dealing with something similar. i’m pursuing a relationship with a guy (atheist) who my parents already expressed they don’t think is right for me. i know that i can’t change him only God can. but i’m showing him God. its like my desire is to want to be with him romantically, but something is blocking it. i’ve already lead him on once, told him it wouldn’t work, and leading him on again. i told him that we can be together if we tried. i also said that i am willing to try and that i don’t want to “give up” is this just me forcing us to happen eventually? i need to just accept the fact that it is not going to work out. but i also am showing him Gods love and teachings. maybe the enemy is trying to block us because of this? he says he is willing to learn about God but he is not going to “convert”. but i’m also being drained from this too. i think that it is a no from God. he says that he really likes me, and that i make him happy, and that he wants to be with me, but i don’t really think he is doing much about it. i feel like i’m forcing it and pursuing it more than he is. i don’t feel like i’m growing with him in my life. he makes me happy, but only a temporary happiness kind of. like we have fun together laughing and hanging out. i really do love him but he is just not on the same path as me right now, and i am too young to have to deal with such a heavy weight.
This video just popped up when I was thinking what if God is trying to communicate 'No', what if He is trying to tell me to be careful!
Thank you for this video!
Amen, I needed this
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you Mark. Wise teaching. Always a joy to see you.
My pleasure Marie, I'm so glad you enjoyed this teaching :) God bless
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger :-)
This channel is absolutely amazing. Such great content! Precious biblical counseling. You're very wise and full of the holy spirit, brother. God bless you!!!
thank you so much now i have the answer why god isn't helping me with something he's silent its because he doesnt want me to do it.
Love it. That’s True! Great Message of the Word of God! AMEN!
Wow, I'm searching for a new or used car and for a job after relocating. I'm praying to find a reliable and affordable transportation since I live in the country now and their is no public transport. Ive had car after car break down. My name is Rose please pray for me that God leads me to make the best financial decision.
@Stay Rosy How are things going with the car search and job? What has happened since you wrote this post?
@@robindear5043 theirs been many twists and turns since then but God provided! After 2 months of being stranded in the middle of nowhere with no car and barely any visitors all I had was God. I put an ad on let go app to sell/trade my broken down truck for a fee hundred bucks or trade for a vehicle for someone who could fix up vehicles. A girl my age 24 drove an hr to me and she towed my BROKEN down truck and i paid her $250 for a perfectly working but older car. She knew someone who could fix the truck and she really wanted it. Incredible! My truck needed at least over 1000 in repairs and didnt have a working radio and she still wanted it. God is so good!
@@stayrosy1852 That is wonderful. Praise God! Pray for me, as I am in a somewhat similar situation regarding needing quality transportation and a job that is more in line with what I believe God wants me to pursue.
Thank you brother, your video is helping me to make decission on many aspects in my life.
I'm so glad it was helpful! God bless :)
I appreciate this channel even more after starting my spiritual journey 🙏🏽 🙌🏽 ✨️
Praise The Lord you are ON IT. Thank you so much.
This is just sooo good! Very helpful and enlightening, thank you.
Thank you for this video! I need prayers for me and my friend that if God wants us to start dating or not... I like her alot and we known each other for about 7 months... This video helped me... God Bless!💕🙏💕
Thanks for the awesome video! God has blessed you with knowledge. Have an awesome and blessed day~!
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed this, God bless you too!
The example with the car a the end is exactly what I’m going through to a degree. I can choose a career path that I just fell in love with and sparked a fire of passion within me but that career path isn’t ministry or something super outwardly praising God. Although I can praise him while doing that career, that career at the same time doesn’t condone God either so I don’t know what to do and I havnt gotten a clear answer so I guess I will wait. I obviously want a yes in my answer to pursue it but if it’s a no I will gladly accept that as well I just can’t tell if he’s saying no or not because I’m always in the middle between these things.
Amen to this, thanks Mark,right on point, very helpful God bless you.
Oh man this one is sooo right on.....thank u sir.....
So glad it was helpful Michael!
I pray everyday for a small miracle.
On point 🎯
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Chara :)
The thing is, sometimes, God is just silent, because the time is not right for you to get what he has to give you, so you have to exercise patience and wait. It is very hard to distinguish between a no and a wait.
Wow this spoke to me I’ve been very sorrowful please pray for me to keep God first
Amen!! GLORY to GOD! Love you brother I learn alot from your channel the Holy Spirit always leads me too your videos when I need it as I connect in one Faith I feel so connected with you in Spirit our GOD is so good!!
I'm so glad the Lord has been using this channel in your life! God is good!
This scripture really blessed me this AM 😀
Your videos always come when I need to hear God the most
Always on time. Thank God.
This is helping me so much ❤️😇
Hi Mark. God has annointed you to do these videos. Got clarity through one of your broadcasts... God bless always and thanks
Wow, I just said to God if I can eat a highly spiced noodle and your video pops up, glory to the Lord!
Man you hit everything spot on in this video, well said.
Yes right
These vids are so good. I only wish they had been around back in about 1998. Could have maybe stopped me from making some dumb mistakes that had a big and lasting negative impact on my life.
Julie Keeney 1992🤦🏾♀️
You are awesome.
GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
Thanks for this video
I wanted to be with this man for many years. I knew it was NO from the beginning.
God is telling me to stay away from their lies.
Thanks be to GOD
Amen!
I've asked from him that even when I'm sure he knows best I'm in need of him to put a little of his faith on my hands. I've just broken up with a really nice guy because he is scared of commitment and not being able to do a good job and end up hurting me. I let him go and gave him space but I'm super sure he is supposed to come and learn love with me. So i asked god to help him open his eyes.
So happy to hear this. God is wonderful
Faith is a lot easier said then done, my dad died three months ago from cancer. I prayed to god that he would do his will. And he did, not in the way I guess maybe I thought he would. My dad suffered for three weeks before he passed. And god told me that he wasn’t going anywhere until he found him. Then my friend tells me that he and the lord were squared away and that he made amends. But he didn’t tell me this because me and him were always at odds about faith. So now I’m kinda angry because he didn’t tell me and I don’t know who to believe. I miss him and I’m worried if he is ok because i haven’t seen him since he died.
Thank you Brother for your words of Wisdom!
I have a long term relationship with someone, not married. I live in UK. And shortage of housing, I am not happy in this relationship, but forced to live in same house. We get on ok. But only share house, and finances. He wants more, it is a difficult situation, but I am disabled, and can't do a lot, we rely on each other. Neither can afford to go out own way. But since I gave my life to Christ a year ago, I pray Jesus will look kindly on this situation. What do you think, you make so much sense. God Bless You.
I agree sometimes God does say "no", but my problem is dealing with those who get big heads as a result of their constant good fortune.
Yes, walking with the Lord through the present is very important
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger -I'm afraid I don't understand.
Still waiting for my answer on reconciliation with my ex husband. I know this is scripturally correct. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11. I still love him even though he is not in love with me anymore. Will continue to pray.
Why do you want to force that decision?
If he has decided to leave you. Accept it and move on..
Abhinav Iyer I’m not forcing anything. I am leaving it up to God. Sorry you don’t believe what God says about remarriage. Your problem not mine. That is the problem today - no one wants to fight for things that are good. It’s easier to move on as you put it and give up. Like I said before I am leaving it up to God not man or what man says. Thank you for your input.
Not Here Anymore
Are you two equally yoked?
GerKor Yes
How can you be equally yoked if he doesn't want the marriage? That man is supposed to cherish you and protect your heart, not tear it to shreds by not loving you the way Christ does. My question is, are you blaming yourself for his decision to leave you? Know your worth sis. It doesn't mean God doesn't want to restore your marriage, but at the same time of what youre posting is truth, then sis...that man needs to be broken due to his own sin and own up to his fault in the loss of his marriage and your trust
