Whoever is reading this i pray for restoration in whatever you had lost whether its marriage, health, relationships, business and finances. God is with you.
I've walked with Jesus for 28 years this June. I've "won the Reverse-Lottery" (losing everything or being persecuted for reasons beyond my control) so many times, I do not remember anything else. I hope your prayer reaches the Lord's ears. JESUS IS ALIVE.
I use to make that mistake frequently until I felt the consequences. A chosen vessel has to be extremely careful. Unbelievers can’t understand the things of the spirit. We love our friends and family but God must come first.
God has been good to me. Once upon time the mention of the word marriage would make me angry. I suffered emotional, mental and sexual abuse. I became very bitter filled with hatred and bitterness towards men. The bible says in the book of psalms 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” My heart was severely broken into pieces. God mended my heart and saved my life. The Lord open my eyes and showed me many things spiritually. I look forward for marriage and working together with my future husband, working for the kingdom of heaven.
Lord prepare me physically, emotionally, mentally & spiritually to receive your blessing of a blissful marriage someday. May u grant me a godly husband who can lead me in my spiritual journey. In Jesus mighty name i ask & pray. Anen🙏
"It is impossible to have a Godly marriage without Christ in the middle of that relationship" I figured this one out the hard way. Thanks for the advice!
I do feel God put a desire for a Godly wife in my heart. Unfortunately, I've been struggling with temptation as the devil has constantly exploited my weaknesses. Please pray that God will help me overcome my vulnerabilities so I can finally be ready for my future spouse.
Prayers for you guys. Stick to it. Pray daily, read your Bible... join a peer group at your church. My church is small and does not have “singles bible study” but a bigger church in my town does so I started going and they are welcoming all in the name of God 😇
Sin is a sweet lie wrapped in pretty wrapping paper. The devil doesn’t want you to know how good God is! The bait of sin is actually a lie that you believe about God. Do you trust that God is more admirable than your sin, do you trust that he will lead you to a higher place if you lay it down? The more you discover how good God really is, the more you hate sin. Please read Romans 6, it freed me from the last sin I had been struggling with for years. See sin for what it truly is, and you WILL hate it, and it can no longer tempt you. Sin is a lie and the devil is a liar.
I’m in a country where religion is frowned upon. Meeting a Christian man, let alone the one I’m going to marry, will take a MIRACLE. Like a parting of seas miracle.
Honestly, yall are the exception to the rule and your situation regularly leads people astray and in pain. In glad it worked for you but no Christian should be advised to date or marry an unbeliever
I’m a Christian who prays/repent everyday and try to live like Christ and I have my days where I mess up but I also like this Christian girl and I feel I don’t deserve her bc she’s nice and serve the lord and I’m struggling but I’m trying and praying everyday and more than once even sometimes 4 times a day and read his word daily to have a better relationship with him ❤️ please pray for me 🙏🏾❤️
Pray that you can see yourself as God sees you. He says, You are "fearfully and wonderfully made". I also suffered in relationships because I felt unworthy. Jesus had to show me, What was an unkind thought. I was so accepting of unkind thoughts that I now have to learn to accept good thoughts about myself! Before I had no discernment. Our fight is with darkness. I pray that the bible will light the path of your thoughts. I pray for your deliverance. Your not alone. :)
I desire a godly marriage. Please pray that my partner and I will be able to take the next step in our relationship to honor God with Jesus Christ at the center.
For God So Loved the World, That he gave his only Begotten Son, That Whoever believeth in him, should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3;16 This is my favorite Bible verse
It's hard to be a true christian in society nowadays. Most of people that say they are christian or catholic are just lukewarm and hypocritical people. It's hard for me because I struggle with a lot of loneliness, depression, and social isolation and anxiety. I'm 20 and I just feel like I don't belong or fit in with other kids my age. I don't have a lot of friends. All everybody wants to do is party, do drugs, and hookup. Social media makes life more depressing. Dating in our society is terribly corrupted. The popular thing especially for young people is hookups, one night stands, casual sex, short term flings...not christian dating for the purpose of a God centered marriage. If I watch non-christian dating videos I get really confused and discouraged because they tell you that you need to say or do certain things to get a girl to sleep with you. Basically how much "game" you have. Like you have to be an alpha male and manipulate a girl into "loving " you. (Which technically, isn't really love at all). For example: "Say these 5 words to get any girl to have sex with you". That advice is corrupting. I mainly just focus on Christian centered dating advice since it gives me hope to find a real christian woman. I would only consider dating a girl who was a TRUE christian, but also one that I am attracted too. I don't believe in the worldly way of dating or even dating sites because 99% of the time it's just for hookups, casual sex and short term flings. It's difficult because my beliefs don't line up with what the world does. Even at church it is hard because I see a lot of hypocritical and lukewarm christians at church. They say one thing and live a lifestyle that's completely opposite. A real man leads a woman closer to God, not the bedroom. It's not about finding a woman that will give you an awesome night. It's about finding the right woman that will make you happy for a lifetime....unfortunately society doesn't see it that way. I easily get discouraged thinking that I'll never meet the right girl. Edit: I appreciate all these kind and encouraging comments. Thank you! 🙏
The struggle is real and your troubles are felt by many of us following Jesus. Stay strong, friend. Keep carrying that cross and be persistent in prayer. God has a perfect timeline. Sending up a prayer for you.
Totally understand brother. Been there, done that, went in circles a few hundred times and wondered if there was ever a chance of meeting a Good Godly Women. You have a great testimony brewing brother. Keep looking up, and before you know it, you'll be sharing your story that God gave you with all those around you.
I agree with Mark. The key here is to find a community that is passionately chasing after Jesus. The three things this community should essentially have is that it loves God well, it loves each other well, and it loves those who don't know Him well. God bless. You will get through this. I am 27 (28 in June) and I have been single since 2011 (there were opportunities to date, but God closed those doors) so I understand the feeling of loneliness. But you are not alone. God is with you and perhaps in this time He is making you a banger husband with amazing character and integrity that one day you can find in your wife too. But as for now, focus on your own growth. Find a woman who matches your stride, who chases just as hard as you do after Jesus. You attract who you are and who you are matters. God bless you bro.
What if the church rejects you.... I experiencing something like Job and family and friends turned their backs on me.... I'm in the wilderness and isolation... I know God is setting me apart from the world....my FAITH has been strengthen in the wilderness.... I quit smoking and drinking....the Holy Spirit has a clean vessel to dwell in now...All Praises to God and his son Jesus.... Thanks for the video.😇😇😇😇😇
Tammy Timothy try a different church. Look for an Assembly of God or non-denomination. I will pray for you! I have felt Unaccepted at small churches. Try a bigger church! God bless you 😇
Keep taking one step at a time with the Lord. There are many churches out there so if one does not receive you perhaps God is calling you somewhere else
Wow Mark! How did you know? LOL Here I was ALREADY looking at one of your videos and this new video pops up! You are awesome and thank you! Every night I pray that God blesses me with a spiritual partnership that will lead to a Godly marriage. Now patiently waiting...😊 *proceeding back to the video* Happy Resurrection Day to everyone!
Osckiie you can find freedom in pornography. I myself, a 22 year old man thought I’d never find freedom until I found out the root of my issue was not that I’m a sexual person but I was looking for intimacy in all the wrong places. Once I found and prayed to have that intimacy satisfied in Jesus, I was able to overcome my porn addiction. I’m one month clean, and that is the longest I’ve been clean since I started my addiction when I was 13. I know it’s not long but I will proclaim as long as you have Christ as the center and you’re constantly in the word of God consistently then you will truly find freedom from porn. “With man it is impossible but with God all things are possible” Matthew 19:26 do not be deceived by the enemy. You’re strong, wise and able with the blood of Jesus to end this addiction. I’m praying for you brother 🙏🏻 (P.s pray for an encounter with God, it’s life changing and can help in all areas of your life, he will answer)
It is not just about wasting time. Pornography can cause someone to be attached to all types of spirits of perversion. As well as paint a distorted picture of making love. It cause men to only see women as a piece of meat. It is not good all the way around.
@@KeeloXY your freedom came from Jesus. You heard the Lord tell you that it was unhealthy and to let it go, and you reached out to Him to help deliver you. I pray your strength in the Lord in Jesus name.
Lord, please bless those that call upon your name. Not so that we are lifted up and glorified through these trying times, but rather You are exalted and glorified in them! Above all else, Lord, teach us how to become satisfied and joyful in You alone.
First and foremost. Want to wish you a Happy Easter Mark. This message is what I'm going threw now.. I've been changing my behavior and company. As you said. Cant have one foot in the church and the other in the world. Praying the Lord will help me to continue to be obedient. Thank you Mark. Blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I watched this last year, and in that year as I’m going all-in for God, doing all the two points at first, someone told me I should just give up finding someone Godly and just pick anyone who’s Christian and nice. I took it with a grain of salt and kept my principles, earlier in this year doing the third point as well. In May God sent him, this Godly man, whom I thought will still be somewhere far away, he’s nearby all this time since last year in my church… God’s ways are just beyond understanding, and the best 🙏🏻
Thank you:) I think God is asking me to make this sacrifice. I used to be friends with those in the world. Now I am recently get away from them. Even sometimes I have no one to talk to. It’s time for me to stay close to God and leave the worldly friendship. It’s just too hard sometimes when there’s not much Christians friends in the church. Those who come either not in love with Christ. They are still attached to the world. And some in the church are over controlling friends, who just want you to follow their rule. And very possessive. You just end up being alone most of the time. Being someone who is reserved kinda make it hard too. So yeah I think I have to enjoy my own company until I meet someone. Only God knows everything.
I didnt have any friends for 10 years. I was mentally ill. Then God led me to say this simple prayer. When I was at my lowest and loneliest. When I was broken and sad I prayed. "God, I want a friend". And he sent me my first Christian friend before I became a born again Christian. She never leaves my side even when am being petty or fearful. He sent me more then I ever wanted, he sent me exactly what I needed and didnt know I needed. She is a fairy tale come true. And you can have that too, all you got to do is ask HIM.
I just wanted to say Thank you bro... The lords timing is perfect and I truly needed to hear this, I have really humbling myself before God so he can bless me with a Godly wife so we can both serve him all the rest of our lives, sincerely good things do come for those who wait patiently... You're RUclips channel is truly annointed God bless you brother in Christ, I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me 🔥🙏🙏🙏💯💯
You hit me with this I been having one foot in the door and one foot out surrounding myself with negative people trying to do positive. God is good and makes a way all of us.
Wow most transformative video in my life. It’s obvious I am the one who needs to change and stop being disobedient and I need to be more spiritually discipline so god can truly bless me in the way he wants, not what I want.
I have never taken your videos more seriously till today! This hit me like a truck as much as I hate to admit it! Especially with number 2! I'm a people pleaser and cares too much what society thinks.
Made many mistakes in life, not giving my life to God sooner and letting the devil convince me to sabotage my past relationship are two I've felt pain over for the last few years, I'm ready to begin a new season in my life, God willing we all will find our blessings soon! Thank you for this Mark
Amen I've been following God for years! We're all a work in progress. But sometimes if you keep dragging your feet on something the other person gets tired of waiting and just decides to give up
Very solid message. Young people please let God be first in your life and make sure your friends and whom ever your dating have the same philosophy 🙏🏽📿
Thank you I watched it twice ^^ I pray for my Godly marriage to happen someday in his timing and in his way, only. Thank you Lord, you are so good to me ^^
GOD bless you 🙏 brother....I needed this Right now!!! I have been struggling....I'm grateful to God for using you to bring this message to me!!! I'm surrendering my all at Jesus Christ's feet!!
DEAR LORD, I SACRIFICE MY OLD WAYS TO RECEIVE MY.GODLY SELECTION FOR A WIFE. I DISCONNECT FROM THE WORLD. I REPENT MY OLD WAYS AND WILL.PRESS ON FORWARD FOR YOUR WILL LORD. THANK YOU LORD FOR COUNSEL AS THIS VIDEO TO BETTER MYSELF, IN JESUS NAME , AMEN
I don't usually comment but this video came just right in time and I would like to share my story and ask for you to pray for me 😭. I needed to hear that specially the number 2 wich spoke to my heart deeply. I'm the only christian in my circle of friends in college and I only have 4 christian friends in life and 2 are already married so I feel alone many times specially in college even though I share the gospel with my friends and pray for them. I don't get too involved in my church because of the busy life in college (I'm a physiotherapy student) so I only have one friend there who is my age and she's a girl. So I ended up falling for a non christian I met online and we've been dating for almost a year! He's really open to the gospel (specially because he's friends with my 2 christian friends who are married and we talk to him a lot about the gospel) and I've been praying for him everyday since we were only friends and He now believes in Jesus but he still struggles with drinking and smoking and that's something that makes me uncomfortable and loses hope. I've been praying so much asking for God's direction and now I don't know what to do because we both really like each other and that makes things harder. I don't wanna hurt his feelings but I also wanna be under God's will and that's why I've been praying for God show me His will about this relationship. Please help me with prayers and sorry if my English is not good I'm Brazilian. Thank you Mark for this word. God keep blessing and using you! You're a bless to us ❤️
Great message for these times, so nice to have encouragement! And yes, the Bible talks about having a "divided mind", and how it trips us up all the time. And "missionary dating" is one of the worst ways it manifests itself! Learned from past bad choices...it is now either "G-D's way or No way. Any man or woman who wants otherwise is not who G-D has for you!🙏😁💕🤗
I've only recently gotten back into fellowshiping with other believers. I see now that was a big part of what was missing from my walk with God. I'm still getting used to it. Building strong relationships takes time and commitment. Learning how to lean on others has made me much stronger than I have been in the past. I won't be dating anytime soon but I'm farther along than I was 4 months ago. Maybe someday God will give me the green light when I'm ready. I'm glad I don't have to worry about it anymore though. That comforts me. Happy Easter Everyone!
I pray for this in my life, singleness is getting me comfortable in settling being alone, and scripture says for it's not good for man to be alone ;-( Pray for a miracle to come my way.... Amen
God's faithful to His promises! "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11 My hope is the LORD! He'll make everything beautiful in its time🙏🏽🕊
Amazingly true..I am Hindu from India but wenev I need answers of my questions suddenly ur videos comes from nowhere.I want God's will wholeheartedly so I act as u said but sometimes questions comes am I on right track?And to my surprise u simply upload ur video within 48 hours to send my answers...You are HIS medium and I HV no doubt about it..You guide people which 100%true and u really want to help people from all ur debth of heart ..Thank you for everything..May God bless every being on earth and alwz show right path thru you kind of Mediums..Thank you from the debth of my heart and Namaste....(Apko koti koti dhanyawad and Dil se Pranam )🙏Here I used My mother tongue Hindi n translated as well..Sometime own language feels better den any language to show heartful gratitude..
Happy Easter Mark & agree with this "If you are not making biblical sacrifices for Christ in singleness you won't magically start doing this in marriage one day." Agree 💯
Thank you for this . It’s very hard to make Christian friends when you are surrounded by non believers constantly. The church I go to is nice but I’m the youngest there- and I’m 41... so I don’t know how this is gonna happen unless God really wants me to marry a good Christian
Perhaps you could keep going to that church while also getting involved in some other activities at different churches to broaden your social circle, like a ministry or a small group somewhere. Online dating is not for all but it is good for those who lack opportunity to meet other Christians their age.
@@chadmight the Bible say all things works together for good ,just stick to your faith don't look who is behind or anything keep your focus the Holy spirit will help you
I love your channel Mark and God has spoken to me through it, many times. He also wants to show you something. God will look at every man's heart and fruit, regardless of whether he/she says they are a "christian." It's those who follow and do what Jesus says, as to what is actually harvested in the end. Please note Romans 2 - He is no respecter of persons based on label, but fruit. James says faith without works is dead, and in James 2:24, "You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only." We can't actually say equal yoking is relegated to whether they say they are "a christian." I've known many Christians who do not forgive and still obey wrath rather than Christ who says to forgive and love your enemies. It's what they have in their heart and what they also do, with or without the law - See Romans 2 and James. It's walking in the Word, that is life. It has less to do with "being a Christian" and more to do with obeying Christ's teaching and not obeying wrath and contention. " But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will render to every man **according to his DEEDS. 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and DO NOT obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon EVERY soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to EVERY man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11 For there is *NO respect of persons with God. 12 For AS MANY as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13 (For NOT the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which SHOW THE WORK of the law written in their hearts, **their conscience also bearing witness** and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." - Romans 2:5-16 And, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." - Hebrews 12:14 (Remember, this statement was TO the church).
"Those who want to be free from spiritual discipline end up living as slaves to sin. But those who practice the spiritual disciplines end up being able to live free for Christ."
Hi! I'm in ninth grade and came to my private school in 7th grade on a scholarship. Everyone was nice at first, because I was new, but after a couple of months, all the other new kids were "accepted" into a "friend group", but i wasn't because i was different from them (they are mostly atheists), and it just felt like they already knew each other and didn't want to accept anyone else. they also like to gossip a lot about teachers and classmates, so im doubtful if i should be friends with them, but i also really want to fit in! what should i do?
I really miss fellowship.. All our churches are still closed and the one I went to doesn't seem to have anyone there anymore... I've really noticed not hanging around with Godly people has made me struggle in my relationship with God...
Hello brothers and sisters. How merciful is our God who has forgiven our sins even when we fail him so much. I know we can all struggle with sin, but I pray for us all to grow in the word together and obey God and know he loves us always his children. Me and my Christian lady pray the Lord will bless us in marriage. God bless you all
I believe GOD is Good. Gave up on those desires sadly. World not the same anymore. Im an "old captain America" lol. I think eyes focused on Jesus only is best. If He decides to bless me than so be it you k. but ehh honestly tired of it. Like the saying goes & song take the World & give me Jesus. Hes more than enough. Amen. God bless.
Please don't limit God by only hanging out with Christians. There's a global harvest that's not in the church yet. Use wisdom and pray about your relationships. Praise the Lord for the Holy Spirit who guides us into finding a Godly spouse.
Whoever is reading this i pray for restoration in whatever you had lost whether its marriage, health, relationships, business and finances. God is with you.

You have a great testimony brewing brother. Keep looking up, and before you know it, you'll be sharing your story that God gave you with all those around you.
I agree with Mark. The key here is to find a community that is passionately chasing after Jesus. The three things this community should essentially have is that it loves God well, it loves each other well, and it loves those who don't know Him well. God bless. You will get through this. I am 27 (28 in June) and I have been single since 2011 (there were opportunities to date, but God closed those doors) so I understand the feeling of loneliness. But you are not alone. God is with you and perhaps in this time He is making you a banger husband with amazing character and integrity that one day you can find in your wife too. But as for now, focus on your own growth. Find a woman who matches your stride, who chases just as hard as you do after Jesus. You attract who you are and who you are matters. God bless you bro.
What if the church rejects you.... I experiencing something like Job and family and friends turned their backs on me.... I'm in the wilderness and isolation... I know God is setting me apart from the world....my FAITH has been strengthen in the wilderness.... I quit smoking and drinking....the Holy Spirit has a clean vessel to dwell in now...All Praises to God and his son Jesus.... Thanks for the video.😇😇😇😇😇
Tammy Timothy try a different church. Look for an Assembly of God or non-denomination. I will pray for you! I have felt Unaccepted at small churches. Try a bigger church! God bless you 😇
Go to the other local church which you find more convenient ;)
@@0silly0sally0 thanks for your encouragement..... God bless you and keep you😇😇😇😇
@@bismarck_9075 I will try again after CV..... Thanks for your help... God bless you😇😇😇😇😇
Keep taking one step at a time with the Lord. There are many churches out there so if one does not receive you perhaps God is calling you somewhere else
Wow Mark! How did you know? LOL Here I was ALREADY looking at one of your videos and this new video pops up! You are awesome and thank you!
Every night I pray that God blesses me with a spiritual partnership that will lead to a Godly marriage. Now patiently waiting...😊
*proceeding back to the video*
Happy Resurrection Day to everyone!
Amen, He is risen! And if God can raise Jesus from the dead, certainly he can lead you in your desires!
Another thing that destroys is pornography. So much time wasted. When you can be out there finding the right one.
Osckiie you can find freedom in pornography. I myself, a 22 year old man thought I’d never find freedom until I found out the root of my issue was not that I’m a sexual person but I was looking for intimacy in all the wrong places. Once I found and prayed to have that intimacy satisfied in Jesus, I was able to overcome my porn addiction. I’m one month clean, and that is the longest I’ve been clean since I started my addiction when I was 13. I know it’s not long but I will proclaim as long as you have Christ as the center and you’re constantly in the word of God consistently then you will truly find freedom from porn. “With man it is impossible but with God all things are possible” Matthew 19:26 do not be deceived by the enemy. You’re strong, wise and able with the blood of Jesus to end this addiction. I’m praying for you brother 🙏🏻 (P.s pray for an encounter with God, it’s life changing and can help in all areas of your life, he will answer)
Kyle Portela
Thank you brother 🙏🏻 and God bless you .
It is not just about wasting time. Pornography can cause someone to be attached to all types of spirits of perversion. As well as paint a distorted picture of making love. It cause men to only see women as a piece of meat. It is not good all the way around.
@@KeeloXY your freedom came from Jesus. You heard the Lord tell you that it was unhealthy and to let it go, and you reached out to Him to help deliver you. I pray your strength in the Lord in Jesus name.
It's so much more destructive than wasted time😖🥺
Lord, please bless those that call upon your name. Not so that we are lifted up and glorified through these trying times, but rather You are exalted and glorified in them!
Above all else, Lord, teach us how to become satisfied and joyful in You alone.
First and foremost. Want to wish you a Happy Easter Mark. This message is what I'm going threw now.. I've been changing my behavior and company. As you said. Cant have one foot in the church and the other in the world. Praying the Lord will help me to continue to be obedient. Thank you Mark. Blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Happy Easter to you too Charmaine! Amen, keep seeking the Lord, his grace is sufficient!
*Through
Blessings!
@@DaddyAZTL yes - happy PASSOVER❤️
I watched this last year, and in that year as I’m going all-in for God, doing all the two points at first, someone told me I should just give up finding someone Godly and just pick anyone who’s Christian and nice. I took it with a grain of salt and kept my principles, earlier in this year doing the third point as well. In May God sent him, this Godly man, whom I thought will still be somewhere far away, he’s nearby all this time since last year in my church… God’s ways are just beyond understanding, and the best 🙏🏻
Thank you:) I think God is asking me to make this sacrifice. I used to be friends with those in the world. Now I am recently get away from them. Even sometimes I have no one to talk to. It’s time for me to stay close to God and leave the worldly friendship. It’s just too hard sometimes when there’s not much Christians friends in the church. Those who come either not in love with Christ. They are still attached to the world. And some in the church are over controlling friends, who just want you to follow their rule. And very possessive.
You just end up being alone most of the time. Being someone who is reserved kinda make it hard too. So yeah I think I have to enjoy my own company until I meet someone. Only God knows everything.
Yes, it is very hard, a good local church is really important for the community we need
Trust me, I totally understand.
I didnt have any friends for 10 years. I was mentally ill. Then God led me to say this simple prayer. When I was at my lowest and loneliest. When I was broken and sad I prayed. "God, I want a friend". And he sent me my first Christian friend before I became a born again Christian. She never leaves my side even when am being petty or fearful. He sent me more then I ever wanted, he sent me exactly what I needed and didnt know I needed. She is a fairy tale come true. And you can have that too, all you got to do is ask HIM.
I just wanted to say Thank you bro... The lords timing is perfect and I truly needed to hear this, I have really humbling myself before God so he can bless me with a Godly wife so we can both serve him all the rest of our lives, sincerely good things do come for those who wait patiently... You're RUclips channel is truly annointed God bless you brother in Christ, I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me 🔥🙏🙏🙏💯💯
You hit me with this I been having one foot in the door and one foot out surrounding myself with negative people trying to do positive. God is good and makes a way all of us.
God is good!
Wow most transformative video in my life. It’s obvious I am the one who needs to change and stop being disobedient and I need to be more spiritually discipline so god can truly bless me in the way he wants, not what I want.
God is good, we can trust him! It's not easy but it is always worth it when we follow Christ
"Sacrifices important" to receive.... God bless you
This one was right on time.
Covid-19 isolation has me becoming lazy and lax. Thanks, what a perfectly timed word.
I have never taken your videos more seriously till today! This hit me like a truck as much as I hate to admit it! Especially with number 2! I'm a people pleaser and cares too much what society thinks.
God is good, so glad he used this to speak to you :)
Made many mistakes in life, not giving my life to God sooner and letting the devil convince me to sabotage my past relationship are two I've felt pain over for the last few years, I'm ready to begin a new season in my life, God willing we all will find our blessings soon! Thank you for this Mark
Most grateful that the Lord has used you as a vessel. This has been helpful in so many levels. God will not forget your labour.
I'm so glad this was helpful, all glory to God!
Amen I've been following God for years! We're all a work in progress. But sometimes if you keep dragging your feet on something the other person gets tired of waiting and just decides to give up
God can always be trusted :)
GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP US RIGHT NOW.
WE NEED YOU GOD PLEASE
God bless!
Very solid message. Young people please let God be first in your life and make sure your friends and whom ever your dating have the same philosophy 🙏🏽📿

Glad I could help
So true! Lord help me to seek you always first thing, before ANY other desires! Psalms 37:4-5
God is sweeter than anything in the whole wide world nothing can separate me from the Lord of universe Him alone has the final say in my life Amen.
You should make a video on dealing with difficult people you can’t avoid/ how to maintain boundaries in dealing with an enemy. 🧐
Share less and interact with them as little as possible, and also work to no longer be around them somehow
DEAR LORD, I SACRIFICE MY OLD WAYS TO RECEIVE MY.GODLY SELECTION FOR A WIFE. I DISCONNECT FROM THE WORLD. I REPENT MY OLD WAYS AND WILL.PRESS ON FORWARD FOR YOUR WILL LORD. THANK YOU LORD FOR COUNSEL AS THIS VIDEO TO BETTER MYSELF, IN JESUS NAME , AMEN
God bless!
ME TOO !! I AM LOOKING FOR A CHRISTIAN MAN TO MARRY !!
Letting something go to receive something better!! :)
Put God first and everything will come!
Correct
I don't usually comment but this video came just right in time and I would like to share my story and ask for you to pray for me 😭. I needed to hear that specially the number 2 wich spoke to my heart deeply. I'm the only christian in my circle of friends in college and I only have 4 christian friends in life and 2 are already married so I feel alone many times specially in college even though I share the gospel with my friends and pray for them. I don't get too involved in my church because of the busy life in college (I'm a physiotherapy student) so I only have one friend there who is my age and she's a girl. So I ended up falling for a non christian I met online and we've been dating for almost a year! He's really open to the gospel (specially because he's friends with my 2 christian friends who are married and we talk to him a lot about the gospel) and I've been praying for him everyday since we were only friends and He now believes in Jesus but he still struggles with drinking and smoking and that's something that makes me uncomfortable and loses hope. I've been praying so much asking for God's direction and now I don't know what to do because we both really like each other and that makes things harder. I don't wanna hurt his feelings but I also wanna be under God's will and that's why I've been praying for God show me His will about this relationship. Please help me with prayers and sorry if my English is not good I'm Brazilian. Thank you Mark for this word. God keep blessing and using you! You're a bless to us ❤️
Don't despair.
God is with you... And He loves you soo much.
Seek to please him alone.... Ask Him to help you. He always does. 1 Pet 5:7
@@abigailadu6183 amen!! This brought peace to my heart! Thank you very much! God bless you ❤️
Great message for these times, so nice to have encouragement! And yes, the Bible talks about having a "divided mind", and how it trips us up all the time. And "missionary dating" is one of the worst ways it manifests itself! Learned from past bad choices...it is now either "G-D's way or No way. Any man or woman who wants otherwise is not who G-D has for you!🙏😁💕🤗
Amen, I don't support missionary dating
I've only recently gotten back into fellowshiping with other believers. I see now that was a big part of what was missing from my walk with God. I'm still getting used to it. Building strong relationships takes time and commitment. Learning how to lean on others has made me much stronger than I have been in the past. I won't be dating anytime soon but I'm farther along than I was 4 months ago. Maybe someday God will give me the green light when I'm ready. I'm glad I don't have to worry about it anymore though. That comforts me. Happy Easter Everyone!
Amen, growth happens one step at a time so keep up the steady work!
I need the prayers that I can follow this 🙏 is my desire to have a spouseso I need the prayers that God can lead me to the right one
Keep following the Lord, his grace is sufficient!
I Love God And Jesus, God is Good
Amen!
Jesus is good, God bless you
I’m getting closer and closer to this blessing. Thank you Jesus for us all finding him/her❤️
I pray for this in my life, singleness is getting me comfortable in settling being alone, and scripture says for it's not good for man to be alone ;-( Pray for a miracle to come my way.... Amen
God bless as you follow the Lord!
God's faithful to His promises!
"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11

Amen! You gave a good example of that scripture from James. It helped me to understand it more.
So glad it was helpful Ladenna!

Jesus is the way, i encourage you to read the New Testament to examine this yourself :)
This is a Great Thing you’re doing Mark. God Bless you & this Ministry.
So glad you are enjoying it! All glory to God!
Happy Easter Mark & agree with this "If you are not making biblical sacrifices for Christ in singleness you won't magically start doing this in marriage one day." Agree 💯
Amen :)
Thank you for this . It’s very hard to make Christian friends when you are surrounded by non believers constantly. The church I go to is nice but I’m the youngest there- and I’m 41... so I don’t know how this is gonna happen unless God really wants me to marry a good Christian
You mean you're the youngest at 41yrs of age or I don't get it?
Perhaps you could keep going to that church while also getting involved in some other activities at different churches to broaden your social circle, like a ministry or a small group somewhere. Online dating is not for all but it is good for those who lack opportunity to meet other Christians their age.

I love your channel Mark and God has spoken to me through it, many times.
He also wants to show you something.
God will look at every man's heart and fruit, regardless of whether he/she says they are a "christian." It's those who follow and do what Jesus says, as to what is actually harvested in the end.
Please note Romans 2 - He is no respecter of persons based on label, but fruit. James says faith without works is dead, and in James 2:24,
"You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only."
We can't actually say equal yoking is relegated to whether they say they are "a christian." I've known many Christians who do not forgive and still obey wrath rather than Christ who says to forgive and love your enemies. It's what they have in their heart and what they also do, with or without the law - See Romans 2 and James.
It's walking in the Word, that is life.
It has less to do with "being a Christian" and more to do with obeying Christ's teaching and not obeying wrath and contention.
" But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man **according to his DEEDS.
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and DO NOT obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon EVERY soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to EVERY man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is *NO respect of persons with God.
12 For AS MANY as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For NOT the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which SHOW THE WORK of the law written in their hearts, **their conscience also bearing witness** and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." - Romans 2:5-16
And, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." - Hebrews 12:14 (Remember, this statement was TO the church).
Amen! Especially on this most sacred day...,
He is risen!
Yes. So well put. Thank you and blessings to you and all those on this journey 💗🙏🌎
"Those who want to be free from spiritual discipline end up living as slaves to sin. But those who practice the spiritual disciplines end up being able to live free for Christ."

Hi! I'm in ninth grade and came to my private school in 7th grade on a scholarship. Everyone was nice at first, because I was new, but after a couple of months, all the other new kids were "accepted" into a "friend group", but i wasn't because i was different from them (they are mostly atheists), and it just felt like they already knew each other and didn't want to accept anyone else. they also like to gossip a lot about teachers and classmates, so im doubtful if i should be friends with them, but i also really want to fit in! what should i do?
Thanks for always being the answers from God to me.
God is good! All glory to him!
This came at such perfect timing, thank you brother!
God bless you too!
Amen. I especially liked #2. Thank you.
Amen!
Thank you so much for this video! 🌸
You are so welcome!
I really miss fellowship.. All our churches are still closed and the one I went to doesn't seem to have anyone there anymore... I've really noticed not hanging around with Godly people has made me struggle in my relationship with God...
I am Christian daily prayer thank you asking me make this sacrifice in my Godly marriage
Amen!
Thanks for sharing this make alot of sense.we have to follow him with all your heart.
Hello brothers and sisters. How merciful is our God who has forgiven our sins even when we fail him so much. I know we can all struggle with sin, but I pray for us all to grow in the word together and obey God and know he loves us always his children. Me and my Christian lady pray the Lord will bless us in marriage. God bless you all
I believe GOD is Good. Gave up on those desires sadly. World not the same anymore. Im an "old captain America" lol. I think eyes focused on Jesus only is best. If He decides to bless me than so be it you k. but ehh honestly tired of it. Like the saying goes & song take the World & give me Jesus. Hes more than enough. Amen. God bless.
God bless
Thank you 😊 GOD BLESS Y’ALL

Wow, been unlocked of some questions I had. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 🙏
Please don't limit God by only hanging out with Christians. There's a global harvest that's not in the church yet. Use wisdom and pray about your relationships. Praise the Lord for the Holy Spirit who guides us into finding a Godly spouse.
