This is a GREAT question. I should have actually incorporated this into the video. I go through deliverance regularly (as led by the Holy Spirit), fast regularly and conduct spiritual warfare prayers daily to dismantle any attacks of the Enemy. I specifically pray against attacks for myself, ministry and marriage. The enemy actually tried to delay my marriage due to my membership with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. However, God told me and I denounced IMMEDIATELY! 🙌🏽
@@LaLaJenkins WOW you where in a sorority. Yes please make a video about your experience I don't know too much about this type of organization and I want to because I work at a college and I see soriety symbols on young girls wearing three V like triangles upside. down. I like to ask them what it stands for but I be too busy working. But anyways it's a lot of soriety organization where I work today and I just want to know what it represents and what they're pledgein to.
I got married at 39 and had a baby at 43 .. I was told I couldn’t have a baby but God .. I also had cancer while pregnant .. she is 20 now and cancer free .. Can’t He!!!
❤ You are blessed and highly favored! I thank God for your life and health. I thank God for your family's life and health ... Thank you for sharing your Testimony!
Be encouraged sis. I was celibate for almost 12 yrs before I married my husband. We are going on 2 yrs. We recently found out we are pregnant with our first baby together. I’m 38 sis. Nothing and I mean nothing is too hard for God. Trust His timing sis. You’re a beautiful and anointed woman of God and every promise from God is Yes and Amen and His promises are yours! 🙏🏽🙌🏽♥️🤗
I was 37 when I got pregnant and had our only daughter. She is GOD’s promise to me. If the LORD said you are to marry and have children.. you will. All of your times are in HIS Hands 💜🙏🏽💜
God is faithful! I met my husband 2 months before I turned 39. That was February 2012. We were married November 2012 and I delivered our son on September 2013. Trust God's plan.
44 here. Never did I imagine I would still be single (never married) and no kids. So, I get it! 😂 But, His timing is perfect. It's definitely been a journey, but the wait has been so worthwhile. Isaiah 60:22. ❤🙏🏽
@@ShamahMusariri-pv9qi amen yes it is. I should have been more specific. Because of surgery I cannot have children. But thank you for those kind words sis ❤️
Went through a 5 year near death health challenge in my late 30’s. My husband and I were blessed to have our first child in my 40’s. There’s more to the story. I thought I had missed the opportunity to have children. But, God did it! 🎉
❤ Thank you for this video. Im 45. Yrs old, and i thought i was going to be married in my early 30's, I will continue to follow God's will with a content and faithful heart. A year ago i disobeyed God by being in a relationship that i was a Christian women and he was not, It was the worst year of my life, The relationship lasted only one yr. Im happy to be free and single again, I will be in God's path because he has a special plan for me. God bless you for this video❤
Tfs LaLa. I always wanted to be a wife and mother. I'm now 64, no hubs, no children, plus I'm an only child, most of my family is gone, and I have health issues. The loneliness can be crippling sometimes. I pray that God will answer your prayer for marriage and children.
Pray for children you can mother, God will start sending children that you can mother in the spirit, and cut off tv , social media and everything and push to get in his glory, when his glory comes upon you , you will never feel alone again
Had my first two(yes two🤦🏾♀️) at 39 and my 3rd and last(yes last) at 40. I currently have 3 under 3 and child, I’m tired. Lol. I’ll be honest when I think of the person I am now versus who I was 10 years ago I am happy I had them later in life. I’m a much better person and a better mom than I would have been. I’ve only recently began my walk and plan to raise my children in the faith. He knows what he is doing. God’s timing is perfect. Be encouraged.
hi i am 38 and i also have been waiting on God for a husband and children. just like you if i had my children sooner they probably wouldn't have been raised correctly in God. i also have a burning desire to have children.
Are you asking people you know and trust to help you find a husband and to help you find and vet suitable men for marriage ? This is what is regularly done in almost all Eastern cultures where marriage rates are high.
I have been a believer for 45 years. I am now in my late 60s. Was married when I was 34. Wife passed away when I was 45. I wasn't looking to be married but the Lord brought a good woman to me when I was getting ready to step into ministry. This is the first person I've heard talk about the importance of finding contentment first as a single person. It is a sign of truly knowing and walking with Jesus. Many get married before cultivating contentment and have great trouble. I know, I've seen it in ministry. Must be careful in this discontented and ungrateful generation. I had a fantastic marriage. We never argued or tore one another down even once. We were content before we married and were able to help one another from the simple place of abiding. Many claim to be "spiritual" but lack contentment before marriage. There is no substance in marriage outside of Jesus being central, the "Life", and breathing life continually into the relationship. You go girl!
I'm 35, female, single, have no children and have never been in a relationship. I've only gone on a few dates and those never became serious relationships. I can certainly understand falling into the trap of comparison. I've been there. The enemy really had tried to discourage and break me when it comes to being single but I know that God's understanding of my needs is greater than mine and He will reveal my husband when it's time. God's timing is ALWAYS best!
I have a Cousin who just turned 55 last month, no Husband, no Children My Oldest Niece, 40, no Husband, no Children My Oldest Daughter will be 39 on 9-22, getting married on 9-20, no Children Be encouraged!
Also I can say be open to date outside your race I don't know if you just strictly want a black man but I believe that's very important because a lot of times black women can be so bent on wanting to be with a black man that was the Lord have a white man for you over or another Man of a different race you got to be open to that as well
This truly bless my soul!! I was crying almost through the entire video, you have encouraged me Lala and I thank you for that I’m 35 and at times I feel like when will it be my time God I witness my siblings get married and have kids and I’m like well I guess it won’t happen for me, but looking at this video you remind me of the promise God has for me, to be married and have the son I desire so I will continue trusting God and never doubt Him.
It's a lot of stigma, striotypes, and sometimes trauma with not having the things we want. And trusting God in the world is rough at times. But the creator of everything(God) got it in his hands. Whoever reading, keep your head up
Lala I totally understand. I’m 43 single with no children. I’m looking forward to my husband and what we will build. I know God hasn’t forgotten about me cause He still shows me glimpses of him. I’m praying that the time will come soon, soon, soon! 💕
Same, sister in Christ. I want kids and marriage, too, but his will not mine. I just started a position at the school to meet a need, and GOD carried me to this verse in Isaiah. Sing oh bareen woman ye that never bare any children. For there are more of the children of the desolate than those of the woman that bare children.
Isaiah 54:1 KJV [1] Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
This video is confirmation for me. Last month I went to a men's conference and the theme was Steadfast. Basically we should worship and trust God in the valley like we do on the mountain. Jesus wished the bitter cup away from Him but He said not my will but thine be done. Ironically they sang the same song that you were singing. That was the first time I heard that song and now you're singing it. I waited till I was 38 to get married and she was 30. The Lord blesssd our marriage. This month we were supposed to celebrate our 13th anniversary but last month not too far before her 43rd birthday she passed away. I thought I at least had 20 more years with her. I experienced the gamut of emotions including a lack of trust. But when I look back over my life I can't deny God's faithfulness to me. So though I don't understand I choose to obey Proverbs 3:5. I do trust in God my Savior because He is the One who never fails. She is at rest with our Lord. Right before she passed she had a smile on her face. I'm just a little sad that she's having that smile without me for a season.
This was for me and right on time! I’m close to 40, never been married or have kids yet, and it can be very discouraging at times because I’m constantly thinking about my age instead of God’s will and timing for my life. Thank you so much for this video!
I am 33 year old single father, about to be 34. I had my child out of wedlock. But I been trying to read the word and be a child of god and now wait til I am married to have any more children. My daughter lives with her mother full time.
I’m new to your channel. I’ll be turning 41 on September 12. I’m single and I don’t have children. I love your beautiful smile and radiant spirit. Thank you for being a Proverbs 31 woman! I feel so inspired and encouraged to continue to wait on God for my family. Love and Blessings.❤❤❤❤❤
I'm also 37, single, no children and I struggle with this daily. Altho I tell myself that I'll be ok with God's will if it doesnt happen, deep down I'm not. I really want to get married and have children 😢. Thank you Lala and all the commenters who keep providing encouragement ❤
Thank you for being honest. Married people ask me this question all the time and I find it insulting. Of course you will not be ok. The Lord said it's not good for man to be alone.
Most of the negative thoughts are from the enemy because remember that The Lord will not put thoughts about doubt or thoughts that make you feel dissappointed!
Be encouraged, I met and married my husband within 4 months, I was 36 going on 37. Gods timing is perfect, we both were mature enough to truly understand the beautiful yet sacrificial aspects of godly marriage. The wait is often preparation for your mate. God is never late on His promises, He is the God of suddenly ❤ Have an amazing day
Thank you for sharing your testimony! You do not have to settle, You do not have a man with kids and definitely no one else’s ex-husband. He will send you what you deserve. Your womb is blessed and your babies will be healthy and strong. Don’t let anyone put doubt in your heart! You are still very young and the God you serve is faithful faithful faithful!
This was encouraging. I turned 40 this year and have been in my waiting season for a long time. Like you, I just knew I was going to be married and done having my two kids by 30. I also have the perspective now that if I had gotten married in my 20’s the kids would’ve had a totally different kind of mom and my husband a totally different wife. And I empathize with that part of everyone else around being married and/or having kids…it’s tough for me. I have 7 siblings and I’m the only single childless one, but I have enough faith to believe God has not forgotten about me and when it does happen God is going to blow my mind.
This is so amazing. I’m a single mom and i remember before I was 18 I had desire to have kids and I was willing to go through so much to have kids. I was pregnant at 19, a toxic relationship but I ended up getting saved and asked God for mercy ! My kids love Jesus & it’s his mercy. I don’t regret my children but I wished I waiting on God (at the time didn’t know I had to). It’s better to wait & do God’s will. Today I wish I was married, but when you sin against God , there are consequences but through it all he is SO good !
I got married at 26, I'm 27 now and we have an almost 2 month old. I got pregnant right after our wedding. My marriage is such a blessing because I have grown so much closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because of it. Meaning that there are alot of tests and trials in a marriage. A godly man is still not a perfect man. Being single is just as much a blessing as being married having been both. Family life is alot of responsibility and servitude which I wouldn't change. But when you are single it's just you and Jesus so don't take it for granted. Enjoy your intimacy and solitude with the Father 💗
I got married at 35 and had a baby at 36 then another at 40. Wait on the Lord. It's hard to wait but worth it. Everything God planned for me is now unfolding. In my 40s. All my 20s and 30s was preparation. Beware that kids take ALOT out of you to the point you feel like a shell. So enjoy your current season.
I’m 35 unmarried with no kids! I was BORN AGAIN at 26! The LAST time I prayed for a wife, I turned RIGHT to “Godliness with contentment is GREAT gain!” I believe God answered my prayer through His Word that says “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” And in 1 Corinthians 7 where Paul says “to live as you are CALLED!” If you are called while married do not seek to be loosed or are you loosed from a wife? Do NOT seek a wife!” So I’m 35 unmarried no kids living as I was called(loosed from a wife) and obeying the commandment to “NOT SEEK A WIFE 🙌🏼!”
I’m 57 years old and I had plan like yours when I was in my twenties too. But Jesus Christ is in charge of my destiny not me! So in the meantime Jesus says he can be my bridegroom and husband. Until the Lord bless me with a kingdom husband. I’m not giving up yet. ❤I believe in love in all ages.
Wow this really blessed me, thank you Jesus!!!!!! I am 35 single mom with a toddler. I desire to be married and have more children in marriage. Thank you Jesus! He will never fail!!!!!
I had my 4th baby at 37 and my 5th baby at 42 . You are definitely going to have children. God knows the desires of your heart ♥️ timing is everything.
Hi Lala. I thank you for being transparent. Even though I’m young, I’m almost 30 (28) single with no kids. I also have never been a real relationship before so my desire for marriage and a kingdom spouse is very deep. It feels like everyone around me is getting married/engaged it makes me feel some way sometimes but I’m learning to lean on and focus on God and enjoy my single season. 💜
Thank you for this video. It's so surreal how I just about 40 minutes ago prayed to the heavenly Father about how lonely I felt with being singled and childless. Low and behold I find your channel speaking on this very thing. Thank you Holy Spirit.🙂❤️ I know our heavenly Father listens to our prayers and he truly cares and knows what we feel inside. All praises to GOD our Father.🙌🏾❤️
Wow! Your message talked to me a lot. Thank you for this video, Lala. I am almost 30, christian, single and I have an adopted son (it's a beautiful story). My situation may be complicated for me, but as you said, there's nothing to hard for God, right! I never had a relationship, but I trust in God's plan for me. He does things His way and His will is perfect. I just want to be focused on Jesus so I can live everything He has planned for me.
Don't put word curses over your womb. Don't even speak or entertain, "they say". I'm turning 45 this year and God is still saying my twins are coming. I said how is that gonna work? I'll be old when they hit 20. He said, " If I give them to you, I will bless you with the strength and years to see them grow." If it's your heart's desire, it's because it was God's desire for you first. Be encouraged 🙏🏿❤❤❤
Just keep on trusting God, I had a baby at 44! It was the biggest surprise of my life! I was worried at first but then I prayed and trusted God through the whole pregnancy And my baby boy is awesome and will be turning 11 this October. Now days a great deal of women are waiting until they are in their 40’s and some 50’s to have babies. My only regret is that I was not married, I felt like at that time my baby’s dad was the one that he was of God, but he turned out to be a counterfeit in a very big way…. (That story is for another day because God carried me through!) But LaLa just stay the course, what God has for you is going to awesome! And His timing is always right on time! God Bless you 🙏🏾
Wow this video really help me to realize that submitting to God’s will, timing and purpose is more important than my desires for a husband! Thanks for sharing. 😊
The world likes to puts limits and the enemy likes to put limits on people, but our Lord Yaweh will never have limits on his word, what ever he said it will happen!
Yea Queen! Your time will come I’m 44yr and no kids. Of course we got to be obedient and wait on the Lord. Our True Kingdom men will come when God say it’s time.🙏🏽❤️
I have a class full of children to teach, they are a hand full, but worth my time. I have been fighting spiritual warfare and walking in purpose for several years now, there has not been much time to mourn about what I do not have. I see the pro's and con's of having children clearly, just like the pro's and con's of not having children. I will walk in my divine purposes, with or without kids, I will make the best out of life like it is given to me by God. Still, I think it will be an interesting experience to raise your own kids. May God grant me my heart desires according to his good will and plans for my life, just like in your life LaLa, in accordance with this word and psalm 37:4, jeremiah 29:11 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!
34. No kids and never married. Saved when I was 30. Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of my 20s being in the world and of the world. Sadly, I still had to learn a lot of hard lessons in my walk though too. However, now I am trusting the Lord and know He has a plan for my life. I praise Him for He is good 🙏🏼🌈
Wow, I can't say enough how this video is on time. I will be turning 30 next year and I thought I would at least be engaged, married, and having my first child at this time. I was in counseling yesterday reflecting on my feelings about it and it was refreshing to say that I feel disappointed about where my life is right now. The counselor really helped me process my feelings using biblical scriptures and examples. I also know that my desires for marriage and children have really increased since getting more closer to God, but I also find myself comparing my life to others a lot and feeling resentful at times. However, the Lord has led me to going to biblically sound counseling to help me through this season. He's also been showing me Matthew 19:26 to encourage me whenever I find myself feeling like my desires being fulfilled feels impossible because of what my circumstances look like now.
Thanks for your transparency. My birthday is 9/17 I will be 58 yrs old. I have never been married and I don’t have children. I am still trusting God for a kingdom spouse. It’s not always easy but God knows what we need when we need it. I’m praying for all those who are waiting for spouses.
Hello sister Lala! I would like to share a little history. My best friend passed away a month ago. She left her husband and her 4 year old girl. It's heartbroken. We cry everyday to God for protection and mercy to the little girl. As the word of God said, "in everything we should thank The Lord". Another powerful word says, seek first Gods kingdom and everything should be added to us. God bless, thank you 🙏
I believe I was led here by the Holy Spirit. Literally received this Word yesterday in prayer: He has not forgotten me. This video is on point. The Spirit is in one accord. God is all knowing. Wisdom belongs to Him. Who can teach Him what is right? I've prayed. Now just need to surrender it all to God. Glad to see you are back, Sister La!
Thank you for this message. I'm 35 unmarried and have no children, and I also desire these things. Thank you for the prayer and reminding us of God's promises.
I'm with you! Only difference is I'm 27 so I'm still a bit of a baby in many people's eyes 😅 However, 99% of people im around my age are already married or have (multiple) children. It feels extremely lonely but I appreciate you being transparent and giving perspective as a Christian - especially one who's uncompromising.
Im mindful of the scripture that God gave me the other week,psalm 25...let those not be ashamed who wait on the Lord.❤im 38 and single. I have kids, but do desire to be married and hopefully have a child being married. I know people personally that stay in a relationship. Married and all. And it's like the devil be saying you around here celibate looking crazy when you can be out here in these streets. I be like absolutely NOT IN JESUS NAME.I WILL WAIT ON GOD'S PROMISE TO ME BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL BE EELL WORTH IT AND HE WILL NOT LET ME BE ASHAMED FOR WAITING ON HIM 💯❤️🙏
You are right, sometimes the devil will bring strong desire of what we wish to have. So that we will be distracted from God purpose for our life and blame God but be strong lala. The joy of the lord is our strength
Hey LaLa, Ms. Sheila is here. 🥰 I am 54 years old. I am not married and no children. The Lord has his timing for everything. I am just being patient. Even if he doesn’t, I am good. It is a desire for me to get married. I am like a mother to my 3 nephews and I love them dearly. Most of my friends are married except one or two, but I am just spending time with God and enjoying my family and friends. God will do it. Just wait and watch. 🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You are doing the right thing in trusting in God Lala. Look at how many people have lost thier lives because they didn't wanna be single. And God sends us warnings, a lot don't listen until it's too late. The Lord knows people and thier intentions, even when they seem flawless.
I’m happily divorced with 6 children; all of which are now adults with the exception of my youngest & he’s a teenager. I also have 3 grands and staring “50” in the face! This is my last year being in the “40’s” ❤ You’re so beautiful LALA and your time will come. 🥰
I was wondering where you were. I had no idea you were on sabbatical but sometimes it’s what’s needed. You look refreshed. I have been watching your content for a couple years now. You have encouraged me greatly. I just want to say thank you. Love you La!! 🙌🏽❤️✨
I’m 36 and I been in the church looking for a wife. I been finding women way older than me. 😅 I have done the work and created spaces to have a family and follow gods purpose on my life. I appreciate this video. Much love 💕
Am really blessed am also 38 year no husband no children am trusting God and God is always using your videos to encourage and keep me on track. Thank you Jesus
Have a honest question, I know you say you believe it’s Gods will for your life but and also how do you know it’s not the spirit of delay?

I'm 35, female, single, have no children and have never been in a relationship. I've only gone on a few dates and those never became serious relationships. I can certainly understand falling into the trap of comparison. I've been there. The enemy really had tried to discourage and break me when it comes to being single but I know that God's understanding of my needs is greater than mine and He will reveal my husband when it's time. God's timing is ALWAYS best!
I can relate!
I have a Cousin who just turned 55 last month, no Husband, no Children
My Oldest Niece, 40, no Husband, no Children
My Oldest Daughter will be 39 on 9-22, getting married on 9-20, no Children
Be encouraged!
Uhm…how is this encouraging?
@@NC-jl4tnright lol
@@Cantthinkofwhatshouldgohere 😂. And 49 people liked that . I don’t understand
I'm 38 and in same boat. God is still good whatever his will
I can’t wait to witness God remember La! It’s coming sis, keep walking in faith!
Also I can say be open to date outside your race I don't know if you just strictly want a black man but I believe that's very important because a lot of times black women can be so bent on wanting to be with a black man that was the Lord have a white man for you over or another Man of a different race you got to be open to that as well
This truly bless my soul!! I was crying almost through the entire video, you have encouraged me Lala and I thank you for that I’m 35 and at times I feel like when will it be my time God I witness my siblings get married and have kids and I’m like well I guess it won’t happen for me, but looking at this video you remind me of the promise God has for me, to be married and have the son I desire so I will continue trusting God and never doubt Him.
It's a lot of stigma, striotypes, and sometimes trauma with not having the things we want. And trusting God in the world is rough at times. But the creator of everything(God) got it in his hands. Whoever reading, keep your head up
Amen!
Im happy to see alot of singles in their 40's and never married. The world makes it seem like its an issue. Good to know, I'm not alone.
It's an epidemic at this point of how many single black females in the US. Like 70% of black females are single.
“I’m Single, no kids and almost 40, My Lord” had me screaming 😂 it’s okay sister La, I’m waiting on my wife too.
Thank you for the encouraging words 🙏🏽 I’m
36 no husband or children yet but I’m trusting in God
Thank you 💛
Lala I totally understand. I’m 43 single with no children. I’m looking forward to my husband and what we will build. I know God hasn’t forgotten about me cause He still shows me glimpses of him. I’m praying that the time will come soon, soon, soon! 💕
Same, sister in Christ. I want kids and marriage, too, but his will not mine. I just started a position at the school to meet a need, and GOD carried me to this verse in Isaiah. Sing oh bareen woman ye that never bare any children. For there are more of the children of the desolate than those of the woman that bare children.
Isaiah 54:1 KJV
[1] Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
This video is confirmation for me. Last month I went to a men's conference and the theme was Steadfast. Basically we should worship and trust God in the valley like we do on the mountain. Jesus wished the bitter cup away from Him but He said not my will but thine be done. Ironically they sang the same song that you were singing. That was the first time I heard that song and now you're singing it. I waited till I was 38 to get married and she was 30. The Lord blesssd our marriage. This month we were supposed to celebrate our 13th anniversary but last month not too far before her 43rd birthday she passed away. I thought I at least had 20 more years with her. I experienced the gamut of emotions including a lack of trust. But when I look back over my life I can't deny God's faithfulness to me. So though I don't understand I choose to obey Proverbs 3:5. I do trust in God my Savior because He is the One who never fails. She is at rest with our Lord. Right before she passed she had a smile on her face. I'm just a little sad that she's having that smile without me for a season.
My condolences to you. It’s a tough experience. Praying for you 🙏🏽
@@johannees622 thank you
This was for me and right on time! I’m close to 40, never been married or have kids yet, and it can be very discouraging at times because I’m constantly thinking about my age instead of God’s will and timing for my life. Thank you so much for this video!
I am 33 year old single father, about to be 34. I had my child out of wedlock. But I been trying to read the word and be a child of god and now wait til I am married to have any more children. My daughter lives with her mother full time.
Same I have a daughter ! I've been celibate for 3 years…. And won't be having any more babies until I get married!
GOD NOT god
As a man with no kids, this video touched me.Its encouraging.Yah knows us.Lala, nice voice.😊
I’m new to your channel. I’ll be turning 41 on September 12. I’m single and I don’t have children. I love your beautiful smile and radiant spirit. Thank you for being a Proverbs 31 woman! I feel so inspired and encouraged to continue to wait on God for my family. Love and Blessings.❤❤❤❤❤
I am 37 never had a partner. Thank you. I didn't want to listen to this but God made me. Be well in Jesus Name. God is good ❤🎉😊
I'm also 37, single, no children and I struggle with this daily. Altho I tell myself that I'll be ok with God's will if it doesnt happen, deep down I'm not. I really want to get married and have children 😢. Thank you Lala and all the commenters who keep providing encouragement ❤
It may be a demonic attack…consider deliverance?
That’s real! To come to a place where you’re okay with such a disappointment is a challenge. I feel you . I’ll be 38 in November
Thank you for being honest. Married people ask me this question all the time and I find it insulting. Of course you will not be ok. The Lord said it's not good for man to be alone.
You can always adopt a child, maybe God is calling you to that
@@kris78787 I would not adopt a child as a single parent. Adoption is beautiful but I would not subject a child to single parenthood
Most of the negative thoughts are from the enemy because remember that The Lord will not put thoughts about doubt or thoughts that make you feel dissappointed!
Be encouraged, I met and married my husband within 4 months, I was 36 going on 37. Gods timing is perfect, we both were mature enough to truly understand the beautiful yet sacrificial aspects of godly marriage. The wait is often preparation for your mate. God is never late on His promises, He is the God of suddenly ❤
Have an amazing day
Thank you for sharing your testimony! You do not have to settle, You do not have a man with kids and definitely no one else’s ex-husband. He will send you what you deserve. Your womb is blessed and your babies will be healthy and strong. Don’t let anyone put doubt in your heart! You are still very young and the God you serve is faithful faithful faithful!
This was encouraging. I turned 40 this year and have been in my waiting season for a long time. Like you, I just knew I was going to be married and done having my two kids by 30. I also have the perspective now that if I had gotten married in my 20’s the kids would’ve had a totally different kind of mom and my husband a totally different wife. And I empathize with that part of everyone else around being married and/or having kids…it’s tough for me. I have 7 siblings and I’m the only single childless one, but I have enough faith to believe God has not forgotten about me and when it does happen God is going to blow my mind.
This is so amazing. I’m a single mom and i remember before I was 18 I had desire to have kids and I was willing to go through so much to have kids. I was pregnant at 19, a toxic relationship but I ended up getting saved and asked God for mercy ! My kids love Jesus & it’s his mercy. I don’t regret my children but I wished I waiting on God (at the time didn’t know I had to). It’s better to wait & do God’s will. Today I wish I was married, but when you sin against God , there are consequences but through it all he is SO good !
I pray the good Lord bless you with a good husband 🙏💞
You still can get married GOD WILL SEND YOU SOMEBODY WHO LOVES THE LORD TOO; JUST BE PATIENT
I’m waiting on both in Jesus Christ name Amen 🙏🏼
I got married at 26, I'm 27 now and we have an almost 2 month old. I got pregnant right after our wedding. My marriage is such a blessing because I have grown so much closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because of it. Meaning that there are alot of tests and trials in a marriage. A godly man is still not a perfect man. Being single is just as much a blessing as being married having been both. Family life is alot of responsibility and servitude which I wouldn't change. But when you are single it's just you and Jesus so don't take it for granted. Enjoy your intimacy and solitude with the Father 💗
I got married at 35 and had a baby at 36 then another at 40. Wait on the Lord. It's hard to wait but worth it. Everything God planned for me is now unfolding. In my 40s. All my 20s and 30s was preparation. Beware that kids take ALOT out of you to the point you feel like a shell. So enjoy your current season.
I’m 35 unmarried with no kids! I was BORN AGAIN at 26! The LAST time I prayed for a wife, I turned RIGHT to “Godliness with contentment is GREAT gain!” I believe God answered my prayer through His Word that says “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” And in 1 Corinthians 7 where Paul says “to live as you are CALLED!” If you are called while married do not seek to be loosed or are you loosed from a wife? Do NOT seek a wife!” So I’m 35 unmarried no kids living as I was called(loosed from a wife) and obeying the commandment to “NOT SEEK A WIFE 🙌🏼!”
I’m 57 years old and I had plan like yours when I was in my twenties too. But Jesus Christ is in charge of my destiny not me! So in the meantime Jesus says he can be my bridegroom and husband. Until the Lord bless me with a kingdom husband. I’m not giving up yet. ❤I believe in love in all ages.
Wow this really blessed me, thank you Jesus!!!!!! I am 35 single mom with a toddler. I desire to be married and have more children in marriage. Thank you Jesus! He will never fail!!!!!
I had my 4th baby at 37 and my 5th baby at 42 . You are definitely going to have children. God knows the desires of your heart ♥️ timing is everything.
Thank you for your prayers! I'm at 40s door.. no kids or spouse. It hasn't been easy at times to accept this reality but i keep pressing forward.
Hi Lala. I thank you for being transparent. Even though I’m young, I’m almost 30 (28) single with no kids. I also have never been a real relationship before so my desire for marriage and a kingdom spouse is very deep. It feels like everyone around me is getting married/engaged it makes me feel some way sometimes but I’m learning to lean on and focus on God and enjoy my single season. 💜
Thank you for this video. It's so surreal how I just about 40 minutes ago prayed to the heavenly Father about how lonely I felt with being singled and childless. Low and behold I find your channel speaking on this very thing. Thank you Holy Spirit.🙂❤️ I know our heavenly Father listens to our prayers and he truly cares and knows what we feel inside. All praises to GOD our Father.🙌🏾❤️
Wow! Your message talked to me a lot. Thank you for this video, Lala. I am almost 30, christian, single and I have an adopted son (it's a beautiful story). My situation may be complicated for me, but as you said, there's nothing to hard for God, right! I never had a relationship, but I trust in God's plan for me. He does things His way and His will is perfect. I just want to be focused on Jesus so I can live everything He has planned for me.
He will never fail! 🙌🏾 stand on the Word and promises of God
Amen I’m patiently waiting on lord I’m in my 40’s and my desire have kids and godly spouse I believe in his word
Don't put word curses over your womb. Don't even speak or entertain, "they say". I'm turning 45 this year and God is still saying my twins are coming. I said how is that gonna work? I'll be old when they hit 20. He said, " If I give them to you, I will bless you with the strength and years to see them grow." If it's your heart's desire, it's because it was God's desire for you first. Be encouraged 🙏🏿❤❤❤
Just keep on trusting God, I had a baby at 44! It was the biggest surprise of my life! I was worried at first but then I prayed and trusted God through the whole pregnancy And my baby boy is awesome and will be turning 11 this October. Now days a great deal of women are waiting until they are in their 40’s and some 50’s to have babies. My only regret is that I was not married, I felt like at that time my baby’s dad was the one that he was of God, but he turned out to be a counterfeit in a very big way…. (That story is for another day because God carried me through!) But LaLa just stay the course, what God has for you is going to awesome! And His timing is always right on time! God Bless you 🙏🏾
Married at 39 youngest child is 3!!!! U good sis, yall good sis in the Father's time
Wow this video really help me to realize that submitting to God’s will, timing and purpose is more important than my desires for a husband! Thanks for sharing. 😊
The world likes to puts limits and the enemy likes to put limits on people, but our Lord Yaweh will never have limits on his word, what ever he said it will happen!
Yea Queen! Your time will come I’m 44yr and no kids. Of course we got to be obedient and wait on the Lord. Our True Kingdom men will come when God say it’s time.🙏🏽❤️
I pray that God gives you every desire of your heart♥️
I have a class full of children to teach, they are a hand full, but worth my time. I have been fighting spiritual warfare and walking in purpose for several years now, there has not been much time to mourn about what I do not have. I see the pro's and con's of having children clearly, just like the pro's and con's of not having children. I will walk in my divine purposes, with or without kids, I will make the best out of life like it is given to me by God. Still, I think it will be an interesting experience to raise your own kids. May God grant me my heart desires according to his good will and plans for my life, just like in your life LaLa, in accordance with this word and psalm 37:4, jeremiah 29:11 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!
34. No kids and never married. Saved when I was 30. Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of my 20s being in the world and of the world. Sadly, I still had to learn a lot of hard lessons in my walk though too. However, now I am trusting the Lord and know He has a plan for my life. I praise Him for He is good 🙏🏼🌈
That’s so true, God will never fail!
Great video Lala😀 I had a total hysterectomy due to fibroids...I don't have any. children or a husband...but I trust God's will🙏
Wow, I can't say enough how this video is on time. I will be turning 30 next year and I thought I would at least be engaged, married, and having my first child at this time. I was in counseling yesterday reflecting on my feelings about it and it was refreshing to say that I feel disappointed about where my life is right now. The counselor really helped me process my feelings using biblical scriptures and examples. I also know that my desires for marriage and children have really increased since getting more closer to God, but I also find myself comparing my life to others a lot and feeling resentful at times. However, the Lord has led me to going to biblically sound counseling to help me through this season. He's also been showing me Matthew 19:26 to encourage me whenever I find myself feeling like my desires being fulfilled feels impossible because of what my circumstances look like now.
Matthew 19:26 (NIV): Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Bless you @prettynblue I hope your at peace, thank you for your comment because it's great you had counselling, and you could open up. ❤Jess
Amen sis! I’m 38 and in the same boat. Just really trying to stay focused on purpose and making the most of this season.
If you’re single you can focus more on GOD
Im 39 and single .I'm expecting a blessing from the Lord.I tell myself there is nothing impossible with our Savior. Amen.God bless Sis.
Thanks for your transparency. My birthday is 9/17 I will be 58 yrs old. I have never been married and I don’t have children. I am still trusting God for a kingdom spouse. It’s not always easy but God knows what we need when we need it. I’m praying for all those who are waiting for spouses.
When the time is right " I The Lord will make it happen ❤
Isaiah 60:22
Hello sister Lala! I would like to share a little history. My best friend passed away a month ago. She left her husband and her 4 year old girl. It's heartbroken. We cry everyday to God for protection and mercy to the little girl. As the word of God said, "in everything we should thank The Lord". Another powerful word says, seek first Gods kingdom and everything should be added to us. God bless, thank you 🙏
I believe I was led here by the Holy Spirit. Literally received this Word yesterday in prayer: He has not forgotten me.
This video is on point. The Spirit is in one accord. God is all knowing. Wisdom belongs to Him. Who can teach Him what is right?
I've prayed. Now just need to surrender it all to God.
Glad to see you are back, Sister La!
Thank you for this message. I'm 35 unmarried and have no children, and I also desire these things. Thank you for the prayer and reminding us of God's promises.
I'm with you! Only difference is I'm 27 so I'm still a bit of a baby in many people's eyes 😅 However, 99% of people im around my age are already married or have (multiple) children. It feels extremely lonely but I appreciate you being transparent and giving perspective as a Christian - especially one who's uncompromising.
Im mindful of the scripture that God gave me the other week,psalm 25...let those not be ashamed who wait on the Lord.❤im 38 and single. I have kids, but do desire to be married and hopefully have a child being married. I know people personally that stay in a relationship. Married and all. And it's like the devil be saying you around here celibate looking crazy when you can be out here in these streets. I be like absolutely NOT IN JESUS NAME.I WILL WAIT ON GOD'S PROMISE TO ME BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL BE EELL WORTH IT AND HE WILL NOT LET ME BE ASHAMED FOR WAITING ON HIM 💯❤️🙏
Wow thank you Holy Spirit and thank you for your obedience ❤🙏🏽 This blessed me.
You are right, sometimes the devil will bring strong desire of what we wish to have. So that we will be distracted from God purpose for our life and blame God but be strong lala. The joy of the lord is our strength
❤❤Jess
Amen!! He remembers you. He is El Roi! The God who sees you. ❤🎉🙌🏾
I needed this. Thank you for your obedience!
Hey LaLa, Ms. Sheila is here. 🥰 I am 54 years old. I am not married and no children. The Lord has his timing for everything. I am just being patient. Even if he doesn’t, I am good. It is a desire for me to get married. I am like a mother to my 3 nephews and I love them dearly. Most of my friends are married except one or two, but I am just spending time with God and enjoying my family and friends. God will do it. Just wait and watch. 🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I know this lady she is 57 she found out she pregnant she thought it was manpause she like 2months pregnant now
Loveeeee your personality. Thank you for making this video!!!
LaLa! This video blessed me :) I thank God for it and you!
Most of these situations of anti marriage or marriage delays are linked to the marine kingdom because thats where spiritual spouses come from 🥺🥺🥺
GLORYGOD! I PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL STRENGTHEN AND GRANT OUR HEARTS DESIRES ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AMEN!
Sometimes we block our own blessings
Yes we do. We block our blessings by sinning and disobeying the Lord.
You are doing the right thing in trusting in God Lala. Look at how many people have lost thier lives because they didn't wanna be single. And God sends us warnings, a lot don't listen until it's too late. The Lord knows people and thier intentions, even when they seem flawless.
Thank you for you obedience and Testimony Lala!
❤ You are blessed and highly favored! I thank God for you!
Don’t worry. Everything will happen in the perfect timing. I pray that Jesus will bless you will the exact match for your ministry and his ministry!
I’m happily divorced with 6 children; all of which are now adults with the exception of my youngest & he’s a teenager. I also have 3 grands and staring “50” in the face! This is my last year being in the “40’s” ❤
You’re so beautiful LALA and your time will come. 🥰
I was wondering where you were. I had no idea you were on sabbatical but sometimes it’s what’s needed. You look refreshed. I have been watching your content for a couple years now. You have encouraged me greatly. I just want to say thank you. Love you La!! 🙌🏽❤️✨
I’m 36 and I been in the church looking for a wife. I been finding women way older than me. 😅 I have done the work and created spaces to have a family and follow gods purpose on my life. I appreciate this video. Much love 💕
Am really blessed am also 38 year no husband no children am trusting God and God is always using your videos to encourage and keep me on track. Thank you Jesus
Let me tell you! I'm 39 and felt like you were speaking DIRECTLY to me! My mom had me at 40 and I often wonder if God is doing the same thing with me.
Same boat. I'm 34 no kids yet no husband yet. Glory to God I have same mindset as you.
" my life is flowing the way it's supposed to flow " ❤
Omg I really needed to hear this!! This was right on time!
