Yay! And guys, it's so worth the wait! Someone is pursuing me like this right now, and it's so amazing to see that God is in it. Keep following Jesus and pray for your future spouse, they are out there!!
Yes there are some good men of God still out there, absolutely, and may my true husband locate me now by the Holy Spirit's guidance. By fire by force in Jesus Mighty Name. It is done and I am prepared and ready for it. God's timing rules all and I am forever grateful. 👑👑👑🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💍💍💍👰🏻👰🏻👰🏻
Young people listen to this man. I am divorced twice. Adultery from both wives. First one was 19 years, second one 7 years. Neither repented nor wanted to reconcile. Just spent a year and became best friends with a much younger lady. She just broke it off after changing her mind on remarriage being adultery. Commit your ways to Christ first. I appreciate this man.
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger thank you. It has brought me back to my knees in surrender, prayer and worship. Maybe it’s a doctrinal issue or she’s just pulling the God told me card. I’ll spend my time being conformed to the image of Christ. That’s what’s most important no matter what. I’ve learned I have no control over another person’s decisions. I’ve been in ministry for years. You’re doing a great work and I’m blessed that God allowed me to cross paths with your ministry.
Mitia Oliver I didn’t expect a breakup to be as hard as a divorce. No different and somehow more difficult. In God’s word, we have to continue in God’s word and be conformed to His image.
I just recently realized that the only way I can get a long lasting loving spousal relationship is when I don't idolize him or the relationship. I've had multiple failed relationship s, multiple heart breaks to understand this simple truth. No amount of effort or love will produce a lasting relationship unless I put God first and the man below Him. It's indeed a narrow road for a Christian.
@The Seven Unkowns You are not God, so i dont believe the LIES coming out of your mouth. If you have to comment on someone's post speaking negative then there is an issue with you. I rebuke that evil spirit living inside of you. Have a nice day.
Don't necessarily listen to the one about "opening up about feelings too soon". Mark doesn't have scriputral backing here. Some men ARE led by God to be over the top with you from the very beginning, because the woman is so broken that SHE needs that kind of reassurance.
For example, God specifically commanded me to the woman I'm courting I love her, and make it REALLY OBVIOUS, before we even had many dates or I even met her Pastor or family. So, of course I'm going to listen to what God tells me to do, not what Mark tells me to do (when he doesn't back it with scripture)
Mark, you have been on fire lately! I’m loving all of your videos and how passionately you are teaching Gods word for us singles who want to honor Him. Thank you for this video!! It’s beyond phenomenal!!
I Love this video! I'd also say pay attention to the friends he allows to speak into his life. A serious man is serious about good community. Keep the great videos coming bro!
God led me to you and I wanted you to know not only is your teaching extremely good but the shekinah glory is on , in , and through your life ! Thank you my brother ...
Wow! Thank you brother for this video. It really broke down to what should be the main focal point in a relationship. Or pursuing one with the intent, of course in marriage. And being Christ centered. And also positioning ourselves in our walk individually with Christ. As well towards each other. I am 39. I have been single for 8 years and have refrained from fornication or just temporal dating or seasonal saying because I do seek and desire more. It has been extremely difficult and at times I feel like giving up. But, I know I shouldn't. And I can only wait in the Lord. Amen.
Mark Thank you for this video I just stopped talking to a Man who said he wanted a serious relationship we were in the beginning stages and I could see he didn't have time for me and that's essential in a relationship so I have lost nothing it's a Blessing not even a kiss was shared will continue to govern myself like this I'm the future as well Blessings to you 🙏
Hey man! These videos about preparing for marriage really speak to me so greatly! I feel like that God is preparing me for meeting my life partner. I thank God for your so very encouraging videos! Keep it up!
Thanks! I needed to hear this! A couple guys have wanted to date me yet they don’t want to commit so I’ve ofc told them that I don’t want to date them...and this video help me realize that I need to focus on my relationship with Christ rn and God will show me who He wants me to be with in his timing☺️
I'm 45...divorced 6 years this year. And as a Christian woman I can say it is very eye opening how many wolves are out there posing as Christian Men. And a lot of Christian Men these days are not healed from past relationships and they literally never pursue . So you have women like myself waiting, sleeping alone,have married Christian women friends as our go to mentors. God knows we are in waiting. So Men,if you say you are Christian you want a good woman. Listen to these videos but more importantly, utilize them in your life daily.
I like that he says it does not need to be rushed. The guy I'm seeing and I are taking things slow, and unfortunately, I receive criticism from others because of that. Sadly, we live in a world where moving at lightening speed is the norm. Then they wonder why their relationship has problems. If they want to move fast, whatever, I don't judge, but don't try to rush me either.
@@LourlinJean thank u a man must prepare in faith for the desires of his heart and my will. Must match gods will don't lose hope there are good men out there
I get together once a month with 2 good Christian friends who have both been married for a long time They told me that when I meet my future husband that they hope God puts a neon sign over his head that says Hes the one😀
God doesn’t use neon signs in the Bible. Let’s stay biblical, not cuteness oh how nice that sign looks above your head. How about God will use the mans word to usher in the Holy Spirit by the truth he speaks. How about God will give you a sense of the Holy Spirit when you are meeting him, also maybe this man would be bearing a gift from the Holy Spirit, word of knowledge, healing, discerning of tongues, not a neon sign. God works according to his will and that is always going to be aligned with his word. I say this with respect I care about your spirit and the future of your soul so you can avoid suffering. False teaching is going to hurt you. Read first corinthians 12: Great explanation of a Godly man. Respect.
Hello! Caller are you listening? God tells you to wait on him. Be patient and obey his word! When you think as a child you what? Who has times for that? Everyone needs love, God knows that, but not just by the flesh. I pray for God's love,the unconditional cup runth over kind. Fullfilling future which God wants us to have.
Thank you for all of your teaching and using God's principals. I love it and i really like that you show where it's found in the Bible directly showing the scriptures and reading them. That is so helpful. I only wish i had someone like you to hear 50 years ago when i got married. God bless you and keep up the good work.
I watch your videos all of the time. So far, you are only online relationship counselor who I trust as you completed seminary. You have the knowledge and education to speak on such topics which is why each video is so detailed and packed with information.
Can you make a video about the opposite? What are the signs that a Christian woman is serious and ready to be pursued? I hear quite a bit about the need for Christian men to lead women but rarely hear anything that counsels Christian men on how to do this. Thank you!
stevestutz how about you make one and send it my way! Lol! You got this:) I am dating a Godly woman at the moment, I can ask her if she has any tips for you.
I have just subscribed. After watching several videos over a long period of time, I'm convinced these videos are solid and truly inspired by God. They always seem to apply to all kinds of situations in my life at any given moment, and they are good to listen to because of the regular use of God's Word to support the points shared. The truths aren't always easy to hear, but they are needed. So I'm willing to experience that mild discomfort if it means improving myself. Thank you Mark, for the work you do for God's Kingdom in helping other believers of Christ understand Biblical truths. May you be blessed for your faithfulness to Him. Amen.
Thank you Mark for this Godly guidance...love your channel ...I will continue to watch your channel.. for guidance in my Christian walk in Christ Jesus 🙏
Hi mark, love the videos 💕 blessing to you and the family. I know if I listen to your videos I’m getting as close to the lords take on things as humanly possible. I’m single, I actually hope it changes. I’ve got a lot of love to give to that special someone but if the good lord says no, he means no. I’ve learned that much. Thanks again! You’re doing a great job 👍🏻
When he is serious, he will be marriage focused, rather than dating focused. Mark, how long should one be in a relationship before being concerned if it's marriage focused or not?
I feel like a sap for coming to this side of the internet for guidance (though I am taking input from my discipler and my father), but thanks for giving me something of substance. I'm in a tough spot of wanting to show a girl that I am pursuing her, but not wanting to rush things.
This is a really interesting video, I’m going to do my best to emulate and assimilate these traits into my future relationships! Thanks for the great video Mark! 👌🏾
Hey Mark I’ve been struggling with my healing process in my heart. I asked God to reveal my ugly and now I see it but now I don’t know how to let him heal it. It’s not heartbroken from relationships (but I am struggling in my relationship because of my moods) but I guess from my attitudes and actions have led me to feeling like this. If you have any guidance from God’s word to help I’d appreciate it thank you.
I would encourage you to talk to someone for awhile, like a counselor or very mature Christian to help you explore this. I would just encourage you to explore the spiritual side and the practical side of health/healing (like mental health, counseling, etc.). It takes work and effort to get better sometimes and we all need some help from others to help guide us
I would also consider taking time off work and playing Christian music 24/7 for a few days and pray it all away. The Holy Spirit is our great physician and we know that he is the doctor of phycology the doctor of mental health, the doctor of our physical body, the doctor of what we should consume if we shall ask him. He is the great I am.
I had this man who graduated from a Christian college years ago. I worked with him and with that would always show up everywhere I was outside of work, I eventually quit the job and then so did he. He continued to show up everywhere I was. He never asked me out and after 7 years, I gave up and moved on. I never knew what he was trying to communicate by following me around for all those years.
Judi Snyder I know this is four months old, but why didn't you go up to him and ask him? Or have a friend or co worker go up to him? Could've been a great relationship had one of you just made a move. Sorry if I'm being blunt but to waste seven whole years without making a single move and waiting when you could've found out earlier on whether he liked you or not, you really wasted yours and his time. This is assuming one of you had a thing for the other. Reading this did you guys actually interact in anyway? If not then, You didn't give up because neither you never actually made an actual effort to interact with one another, you can't give up on something you never worked at. This is why I'm not big on traditional standards of dating, the man shouldn't ALWAYS have to make the first move. And ppl should just say what they mean and say it as soon as possible.
Honestly i think you waited for too long. If a man cant work up the courage to approach you then he's probably not man enough. For me its important that the man make the first move coz i need to see his courage, confidence and boldness. If he can't even approach me then he's not much of a go-getter is he? I see a number of Christian men in my church stalking me with their eyes and yet they never try to get to know me although im friendly to them. That's an indication of weakness to me. Either they have no backbone or they are not sure what they want. Eitherway im not going to wait for them or lower the bar for them or pursue them myself. I believe there is a strong, bold man of God out there who is not full of fear. Id rather widen my circle and wait until I meet a strong man who pursues clearly and strongly.
Mostly good advice except the "professing love too soon" is a red flag. Who am I going to listen to... God or Mark? God told me to tell her I love her frequently.
Michael he was only talking about saying it right away... just take you time and after that say it as much as you feel like.... I’ve seen woman saying it in the first week, just keeping your heart safe ;) that’s is all
There’s actually a difference of love in the bible it’s called Agape love the Love God has for us and the love we have on earth the love as defined with our hearts and emotions
I agree with you. You can't putt a time stamp on love. I remmebr seeing a comment from this woman who dad proposed to her mom after the second day of knowing each other. It's 20+ years and their still going strong. If God told you to tell her that you love her go ahead and do so.
Thank God for giving me a great boyfriend we've been together for 6 years and we are continue planning our future together we've been through alot but we never give up on our love we always say we leave everything in god hands someday we'll get marry n have our own family our relationship n love would've never lasted so long without god because he is love
Am at a point in my life where I need a man to please my mind first before he can have my permission to please my flesh after he commits to me. God pleases my Heart and Soul.🙏🙏🙏
I'm a christian woman and i am focusing on Gods words and become more strong and confident and passnet in the lord i'm 19 years old and i'm waiting for God to send me a Godly man into my life , i a holy woman and i will be always serious in the lord
Hey mark, in regards to part of your second point, at what point can a guy say he is earning enough to support a family. What if you are working towards what God is calling you to do but still don’t earn enough at the moment while working full time? Should you have financial certainty for the future before pursuing? I ask because this is answered differently depending on who you ask and I remember you addressing this in an article where you said the man does not have to necessarily earn more than his wife and his earnings aren’t a measure of his score in life but he must be working a full time job.
Yes, what you said in your second paragraph is what I believe. I believe a man needs to be working but if he does not make enough to be the sole provider or his wife works too and even makes more that does not disqualify him in any way. My belief is that the husband and wife together need to not be dependent on other people if they are to get married. So if they can do it together and the man has a job then I believe a man in the situation is doing what is needed to get married
He just wants to control you. So you dont move on so he can keep coming back and getting access to you to use and abuse you and tear you down. Believe me.
Yea that’s a red flag they want you to chase them . When they go ghost I go ghost with them .🤷🏼♀️ Im not chasing no man. If they really want you they will get you.🙌🏻
1. He doesn't send mixed signals.
2. He makes sure his house is in order.
3. His passion will be governed by wisdom.
4. He is marriage focused rather than dating focused.
Thanks for making this list, I was having trouble remembering the third one 😅

Hey Mark I’ve been struggling with my healing process in my heart. I asked God to reveal my ugly and now I see it but now I don’t know how to let him heal it. It’s not heartbroken from relationships (but I am struggling in my relationship because of my moods) but I guess from my attitudes and actions have led me to feeling like this. If you have any guidance from God’s word to help I’d appreciate it thank you.
I would encourage you to talk to someone for awhile, like a counselor or very mature Christian to help you explore this. I would just encourage you to explore the spiritual side and the practical side of health/healing (like mental health, counseling, etc.). It takes work and effort to get better sometimes and we all need some help from others to help guide us
Thank you Mark. You actually have been a confirmation. I thought about counseling so I guess it’s time I look into it.
I would also consider taking time off work and playing Christian music 24/7 for a few days and pray it all away. The Holy Spirit is our great physician and we know that he is the doctor of phycology the doctor of mental health, the doctor of our physical body, the doctor of what we should consume if we shall ask him. He is the great I am.
Soooo good!
Excelente!
God bless!
Your videos are such a blessing!
I had this man who graduated from a Christian college years ago. I worked with him and with that would always show up everywhere I was outside of work, I eventually quit the job and then so did he. He continued to show up everywhere I was. He never asked me out and after 7 years, I gave up and moved on. I never knew what he was trying to communicate by following me around for all those years.
Judi Snyder I know this is four months old, but why didn't you go up to him and ask him? Or have a friend or co worker go up to him?
Could've been a great relationship had one of you just made a move. Sorry if I'm being blunt but to waste seven whole years without making a single move and waiting when you could've found out earlier on whether he liked you or not, you really wasted yours and his time.
This is assuming one of you had a thing for the other. Reading this did you guys actually interact in anyway? If not then,
You didn't give up because neither you never actually made an actual effort to interact with one another, you can't give up on something you never worked at.
This is why I'm not big on traditional standards of dating, the man shouldn't ALWAYS have to make the first move. And ppl should just say what they mean and say it as soon as possible.
Honestly i think you waited for too long. If a man cant work up the courage to approach you then he's probably not man enough. For me its important that the man make the first move coz i need to see his courage, confidence and boldness. If he can't even approach me then he's not much of a go-getter is he? I see a number of Christian men in my church stalking me with their eyes and yet they never try to get to know me although im friendly to them. That's an indication of weakness to me. Either they have no backbone or they are not sure what they want. Eitherway im not going to wait for them or lower the bar for them or pursue them myself. I believe there is a strong, bold man of God out there who is not full of fear. Id rather widen my circle and wait until I meet a strong man who pursues clearly and strongly.

Amein Amein Brother
Right on time!!!!!
I'm so glad!
Mostly good advice except the "professing love too soon" is a red flag. Who am I going to listen to... God or Mark? God told me to tell her I love her frequently.
Michael he was only talking about saying it right away... just take you time and after that say it as much as you feel like.... I’ve seen woman saying it in the first week, just keeping your heart safe ;) that’s is all
There’s actually a difference of love in the bible it’s called Agape love the Love God has for us and the love we have on earth the love as defined with our hearts and emotions
I agree with you. You can't putt a time stamp on love. I remmebr seeing a comment from this woman who dad proposed to her mom after the second day of knowing each other. It's 20+ years and their still going strong. If God told you to tell her that you love her go ahead and do so.
First understand fully what god told you..
Thank God for giving me a great boyfriend we've been together for 6 years and we are continue planning our future together we've been through alot but we never give up on our love we always say we leave everything in god hands someday we'll get marry n have our own family our relationship n love would've never lasted so long without god because he is love
@The Seven Unkowns so u don't believe in Jesus Christ? Ur not a Christian?
Am at a point in my life where I need a man to please my mind first before he can have my permission to please my flesh after he commits to me. God pleases my Heart and Soul.🙏🙏🙏
I can understand that
I'm a christian woman and i am focusing on Gods words and become more strong and confident and passnet in the lord i'm 19 years old and i'm waiting for God to send me a Godly man into my life , i a holy woman and i will be always serious in the lord
Very Good and lovely video
Hey mark, in regards to part of your second point, at what point can a guy say he is earning enough to support a family. What if you are working towards what God is calling you to do but still don’t earn enough at the moment while working full time? Should you have financial certainty for the future before pursuing?
I ask because this is answered differently depending on who you ask and I remember you addressing this in an article where you said the man does not have to necessarily earn more than his wife and his earnings aren’t a measure of his score in life but he must be working a full time job.
Yes, what you said in your second paragraph is what I believe. I believe a man needs to be working but if he does not make enough to be the sole provider or his wife works too and even makes more that does not disqualify him in any way. My belief is that the husband and wife together need to not be dependent on other people if they are to get married. So if they can do it together and the man has a job then I believe a man in the situation is doing what is needed to get married
Great teaching 🙌🏾👏🏾

Cody Chapman You are beautiful.
This is so true, lol just happened to me, man said he thinks he’s falling in love them ghosted me 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He just wants to control you. So you dont move on so he can keep coming back and getting access to you to use and abuse you and tear you down. Believe me.
Y'all are beautiful!
Yea that’s a red flag they want you to chase them . When they go ghost I go ghost with them .🤷🏼♀️ Im not chasing no man. If they really want you they will get you.🙌🏻
