I've been praying and waiting on a wife and a family since I was 24. I'm 28 now and still don't have it. I thought back then was the perfect time I guess I was wrong. Please pray for me to find someone swiftly because it seems very hopeless at times, becoming a husband and a father is extremely important to me in this lifetime.
Hey Cody. I send you my prayers. Surprisingly very many women praying the same prayer. It takes the hand of God to bring two right people together. Never give up!
Wow Mark I literally was reading Song of Solomon last night and asked God to reveal the deeper meaning of the scriptures to me and boom here goes this video! Thank you for being obedient and releasing this revelation, it was much needed
Great analogies brother Mark. "We can't force a flower to grow🌱🌺" If we water it too much it will die. Peace and beautiful blessings to everyone💛 waiting on Gods timing.
I broken up with my gf last month. 1 year and 5 months. Toxic and now she and her ex got back together and rubbed it in my face by sending me a pic and told me "Where happy you can move on" then blocks me. I've lost so many people and friends.. I feel hopeless and I can't stand singleness. It only makes me feel miserable and part of me feel like something is missing. Ik God is all we need but I still desire a strong desire for a godly marriage. I'm only 20 but I'm trying to heal. And move on. I wanna find the right one. Idk what I can do besides pray and continue to watch these videos.
Yes, and rebuild your life in what you lost. Find new friends and get out there. At 20, you need to be social and active in life with like minded people. Relationships will most likely happen if you are being social and around people who share your beliefs
Hey there! Your comment really stuck with me. I'm a sister in Christ one year younger and I hope to encourage you with this comment. Something to know about God is that He works in time. If He knows right now, giving you a specific thing (anything) will lead to heartbreak and guilt and shame, etc., He won't give it because He cares too much for you. I've been in a place where I strongly desired to know the person God has for me but He wouldn't and still hasn't told me. I realized it was for my good because it would be something that consumed me. I would literally only think about Mr. guy. Our greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart. l advise focus on that commandment. Would you be willing to be single if God asked you? How deep is your relationship with God? If it's deep, go deeper. God is infinite. A Godly marriage comes from God. Fulfillment comes from no one but God. Your partner will also be human and will fail you at times. Only God won't whether single or married. Seek His Kingdom and EVERYTHING (according to His will for you) will be added to you. Your wife will come but make sure God is first and there are no close seconds. So that it lasts. Being around fellow Christ followers is also a powerful thing like Mark mentioned. I pray God surrounds you with them and draws you to Himself. I love you brother. I'll be praying for you!
@@exgxnxa1249 thank 😊 you and God bless 🙌 🙏. I do need to put GOD first and I also need to find a church with more people my age. Not exactly easy in my local area, but as long as I wait on God, put HIM FIRST, and trust his divine timing then I don't fear the future. Also it seems recently God lead me to a Christian woman from my school that seems to be really faithful and so far has understood my pain as we both have been through similar situations recently. AGAIN I don't know what the future holds... but I'm gonna keep trusting him and his timing and despite what happens I believe God will lead me to the one. I'll remain faithful no matter what happens
@@american_duelistguys4088 Amen! Keep your eyes focused on the Lord and He'll direct you. Trusting Him can be rough at times but He's faithful and I'm glad to hear that! Your faith is beautiful to read about haha. I'll be praying for you as well. I suggest asking Holy Spirit to grant you knowledge and wisdom on marriage. Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Toure Roberts are wonderful teachers on the subject. There are others but it requires discernment. I pray God continues to bless and nourish you as you choose Him everyday :))
@@exgxnxa1249 as a matter of fact a few weeks ago I followed Mark's advice and found a church Bible study group for early 20's people not far from my home. I just started going last week. Idk what's gonna happen but I'm gonna try to focus on God for a few months and then look for a relationship. Eh, I'll see what happens
This genuinely was a first time ever hearing this. Thank you. Lately I feel like the Lord is telling me to take a step back from my fiance. I've been with her for 3 years and I love her very much. The Lord has shown me that our peace was not founded on the peace of the Lord, but driven by the peace of the world. He has asked me to step down and be her friend and it's been exceedingly difficult. He is showing me that this is more loving. He explained to me he wanted to ripen the relationship and now I know why.
How great is our High Priest who uses you so mightily to help encourage correct and fill us with His eternal Truths for our relationships... Thank you so much for your devotion and willingness to help us understand and walk in the Love our Good Father created us to walk in. Again Thank you Mark and also thank you to your lovely wife who is by your side in Christ together strengthening the Body of Our Beloved Yeshua 'Jesus' I watch your posts weekly and find great treasure shared. Shalom to you and yours from Your neighbour on Vancouver Island Tara B
Connect me my God with my love I m really very lonely,tired....a divine connection from you to be my wife who I will love d most in this world after you...Blessed me my God with my wife,my children,my family... Divine mercy my savior, Help me my God, In Christ Jesus name, Amen.....
Thank you for speaking on another important subject. Love is real, pure and we naturally crave it. There is a time, season and purpose for love to bind two together as you made a point of. another important subject
This has been a topic I've been turning over in my head for a while. I'm wondering how I can keep my options open to the possibility, while still guarding my heart. I know it's a balance between risk and safety, as you've said in those videos about guarding your heart. This is a tricky area to navigate.
Amen, it can be a hard line to walk. I think it's about doing the right thing even when you don't feel like it. So if you know it's good to be social and meet other people even though you are hoping internally to be with someone else, still do the actions you know you should. Sometimes our feelings will follow after we make the right actions
This was an amazingly excellent video! You were given some really great insights. I always appreciate when people talk about Song of Solomon as it can be ignored by many.
Thank you so much for helping me to dive deeper into Song of Songs and improve my understanding. I have to say I cannot imagine the young woman’s challenges in being number -#1 “Even among sixty queens and eighty concubines…..”Solomon says he would still choose her but still! I wish I had known this when I struggled against jealousy. I think this would have helped!😊God Bless!
Thank you so much for answering my request brother Mark. This has been extremely insightful and further confirms I’m on the right path. Wishing you a blessed week.
I've asked God for a second chance with the girl I've met on Christmas last year. It was His doing and He changed the circumstances, so we could get to know each other... but I've missed my chance? Past hurts and past issues blocked me from pursueing this relationship. Now I know it was a mistake, God even spoke very clearly through my sisters in Christ. And this verse came to my mind immediately. Maybe I was not ready the first time? Maybe God used my weakness and led me on detour to re-learn some things, to get me closer to Him. And I feel this detour was worth it. But she's worth pursueing too. I hope God will help me, as I believe it is His will. He clearly cares about us and shows how much would it please His heart. I can clearly see His hand in many circumstances revolving around this relationship.
Thank you for this video, and thank God for using you! Would love to see more videos about how to know if you meet 'the one' and how do you know if God is calling you to wait on someone.
Recently, the one whom I’ve had feelings for, for four years asked me to join group events with him. Then it jumped to one on one. I personally felt in my spirit that by jumping to one on one would take us to a place we weren’t ready for. The Holy Spirit led me to speak to him about it so I initiated a time for us to talk & meet up, but he canceled. Then asked me to help arrange for a small meeting. He told me he didn’t like me anymore, but I just felt hurt, anger, and frustration in his spirit from it not “working out” the way he wanted. We hadn’t developed the authentic friendship based on Christ and cleaved from our human nature from before we dated and we woke up “love” before it was ready. This video gave me confirmation that what I was sensing was true and I can release it all and focus on God to prepare me to be the true helpmate for my future husband. 🤍 And to keep praying for whomever my future husband is to grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to become them Man of God he desires to be for our future family.❤
I prayed since I was young not be fall in love with a wrong person. That God would keep my heart until the right one comes. Yet, I was given false hope with a man. Why would God open my heart to someone who will just hurt me.
Don't know your situation and the series of events that led to your heartbreak but consider the fact that God gives us free will. You have the power to open your own heart to whomever you choose. God gives us His word to know the difference between love and lust. Don't forget that the enemy is out to tempt and trick you as well... But, no worries. Do not harden your heart towards God and forgive yourself. You were led to this video for a reason. God will use that situation for good. God bless. 🙏🏽 🕊
Matthew 5:17-19 : “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law and the Prophets. I haven’t come to do away with them but to fulfill them (meaning of fulfill/make full : grant it the power to give people eternal life by covering our transgressions with his shed blood as long as we repent and do our best to sin no more, grace is not a license for sin or disobedience). For i say to you truly, till the heaven and earth pass away, neither the smallest letter nor even the smallest stroke of a pen will be erased from the Law until everything there becomes a reality. Therefore, whoever ignores one of the least of these commands and teaches others to do the same will be called the lowest in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps these commands and teaches people to keep them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Luke 16:17 : “It’s easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest stroke of a pen in the Law to drop out.” John 14:15,21 : “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.” Matthew 19:16-19 : “And see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good shall I do to have everlasting life?” And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One, Alahim (God). But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commands.” He said to Him, “Which?” And Yahusha said, “Don’t commit murder. Don’t commit adultery. Don’t steal. Don’t give false testimony. Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as you love yourself.” (Quoting from the 10 Commandments and Torah) Matthew 7:21-23 : “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’ John 3:36 : “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” Matthew 13:41 : “The Son of Adam shall send out His angels, and they shall gather out of His reign all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness.” Romans 2:13 : “For not the hearers of the Law are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the Law shall be declared right.” Hebrews 4:9-13 : “So you see that a sabbath rest is left open for God’s people. The one who entered God’s rest also rested from his works, just as God rested from his own. Therefore, let’s make every effort to enter that rest so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience, because God’s word is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates to the point that it separates the soul from the spirit and the joints from the marrow. It’s able to judge the heart’s thoughts and intentions. No creature is hidden from it, but rather everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of the One to whom we have to give an answer.” James 1:22-25 : “You must be doers of the Word and not only hearers who mislead themselves. Those who hear but don’t do the Word are like those who look at their faces in the mirror, for they look at themselves, walk away, and immediately forget what they were like. But they who study the perfect Law, that of freedom, and continue in it, not becoming hearers that forget but doers of work, they shall be blessed in their doing of the Law.” James 2:14-26 : “My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief but does not have works? This belief is unable to save him. And if a brother or sister is naked and in need of daily food, but one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” but you do not give them the bodily needs, what use is it? So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead. But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works. You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe - and shudder! But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief without the works is dead? Was not Abraham our father declared right by works when he offered Isac his son on the slaughter-place? Do you see that the belief was working with his works, and by the works the belief was perfected? And the Scripture was filled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And He called him, “he who loves God.” You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone. In the same way, was not Rahab the whore also declared right by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the belief is dead without the works.” 1 John 2:3-7 : And by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commands. The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of God has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked. Beloved, I write no fresh command to you, but an old command which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the Word which you heard from the beginning.” 1 John 3:4 : “Everyone doing sin also breaks the Law, for sin is lawlessness.” 1 John 5:3 : “For this is the love for God, that we keep His commands, and His commands are not heavy.” 2 John 1:6 : “And this is the love, that we walk according to His commands. This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.” Revelation 12:17 : “And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of God and possessing the witness of Yahusha the Messiah.” Revelation 14:12 : “Here is the endurance of the saints, here are those guarding the commands of God and the belief of Yahusha.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 : “Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear God and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! For God shall bring every work into right-judgement, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil.” 1 John 2:17 : “And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of God remains forever.” Revelation 22:12-14 “And see, I am coming speedily, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work. I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city.” Romans 16:24-27 : “The favour of our Master Yahusha the Messiah be with you all. Amen. And to Him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Yahusha the Messiah, according to the revelation of the secret which was kept silent since times of old, but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the everlasting God, for belief-obedience. To Alahim (God), wise alone, be the esteem, through Yahusha the Messiah forever. Amen.
You are wrong. Blood is shed for once and for all time. Jesus will not come second time to die for our sins. We are forgiven, you must believe you are forgiven because of Jesus. Repenting of your sins does not do anything, nor works of the flesh
REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND TURN FROM SIN AND TURN TOWARDS RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON AND WE MUST BE READY FOR WHEN HE COMES BACK
Thank you for the video, very informative! One question though, how can one take the fruit of love too late...would you mind giving an example? Thank you so much in advance.
By not getting into a relationship when a good one is available. or by dating too long and not getting married and then falling into sexual sin . . . just a few examples :)
Can you make a video on unbelief please ! I am here, I am stuck, I meditate, my mind is in spiritual warfare, I feel weak, lost, hopeless, everyday I meditate to try to keep my hope up, cause I know it’s the right thing to do. My thoughts are blasphemous and I hate it, when I wake up , it begins, and then an oppression is around , and I am praying for breakthrough
Hi Mark,a huge fan of applygodsword however kindly please use alternative or friendly images of married couples like holding hands but not too close to each other. I'm often watching these vids and find myself having to hide my screen because I feel like my teen siblings might think I'm not practicing what I'm always preaching and watching ill content. Your website and vids have taught me alot,we thank the lord for you. Kindly consider my request. Thanks for your time.
Hey mark, do you think God leaves the responsibility of marriage 100% up to us? This is a question I have been wondering for awhile. For example, I know several Christian singles that desired to be married; however, it just never happened in their lives and now they are in there 60’s. While, on the other hand, some that didn’t even really desire it as much are married in there 20’s. Do you think God just leaves it up to circumstances for a person to meet someone they can marry and some people just get unfavorable circumstances? I have tried asking out Christian girls in my life but it just never seems to workout. Thank you :)
Is there a possibility you can explain the time line about the biblical marriage tradition, Like when I should intaduce the ring, I kinda have an understanding, All I know is that she has been growing more attached to me, It would be easier If I knew where I am at. What will I expect next all the way down the Isle
Well marriage counselors by and large frequently have to suggest to couples to prioritize their affections because the world gets in the way. Without proactive effort many marriages would have no intimacy at all. Waiting for desire to organically build, and hope that both feel the same way at the same time, is not a great strategy long term… eventually the kids the dishes work the paperwork and the chaos of primary colors in your face all day wears you out. Lol in which case, dedicate the commitment everyday to prioritize affection. Lol life happens I don’t believe this verse is about romance in general. I think it’s about not prematurely sexualizing youth. Meaning don’t destroy innocence…
THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS VIDEO I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY IS IT THAT GOD HAS FORBIDDED ME FROM EVER DATING FALLING IN LOVE GETTING MARRIED OR EVEN HAVING A WIFE PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT ONE TO ME SINCE YOU'RE TALKING SO MUCH ABOUT LOVE AWAKENING AT THE RIGHT TIME
sounds like you are speaking for God. I have no idea if God has done that. It probably is your own actions and you are blaming God, Proverbs 19:3. You sound really negative, so who would want to date a negative person. Just my thoughts since you asked
In order to attract the love that you desire, you must take care of yourself first. When you love yourself, accept yourself and put yourself first, everything falls into place. The one thing that blocks you from manifesting a healthy relationship is when you put everyone else before you. 💙RUclipsr That Helps People Overcome Toxic Relationships
This is textbook New Age speak, which is not biblical at all, and you are obviously only commenting to promote your false light channel. Any saints reading this, RUN!
1. Love is free, not force
2. Love is responsible, not reckless
3. Love is faithful, not fickle
4. Love is first, not second to anyone
God bless!
Amen and Amen everyday same here

Cody I feel your impatient BUT keep believing and praying because if it's God will to bring your wife to you it WILL come to pass🙌🏾
Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words.
It’ll happen at the right time
It isn't the man's role to wait. He should be out looking. t is the woman's role to wait. If you are both waiting you will never meet.
Last night before I laid down to sleep I prayed to God saying “Lord, I am thinking about a wife, please lead me.” And boom this video popped up.
Wow!
Wow Mark I literally was reading Song of Solomon last night and asked God to reveal the deeper meaning of the scriptures to me and boom here goes this video! Thank you for being obedient and releasing this revelation, it was much needed
I'm so glad this was on time! All glory to God!

Whut! Same here!!

This has been a topic I've been turning over in my head for a while.
I'm wondering how I can keep my options open to the possibility, while still guarding my heart. I know it's a balance between risk and safety, as you've said in those videos about guarding your heart.
This is a tricky area to navigate.
Amen, it can be a hard line to walk. I think it's about doing the right thing even when you don't feel like it. So if you know it's good to be social and meet other people even though you are hoping internally to be with someone else, still do the actions you know you should. Sometimes our feelings will follow after we make the right actions
Amen to that.
Wow!thank you so much brother Mark, I've been waiting for such a revelation,thank you,now I know wat to do!
Thank you 🙏🏽. This was easy to understand and is helpful in seeing love in its purer form.
This was an amazingly excellent video! You were given some really great insights. I always appreciate when people talk about Song of Solomon as it can be ignored by many.
So glad you found this helpful!
I just had this question earlier today!! Such great timing!
So glad!
Amen same here
The great thing is that any book or verse can be interpret as the Holy Spirit desires to reveal it to you.
wow the other night i randomly read songs of songs!
Thank you so much for helping me to dive deeper into Song of Songs and improve my understanding.

Recently, the one whom I’ve had feelings for, for four years asked me to join group events with him. Then it jumped to one on one. I personally felt in my spirit that by jumping to one on one would take us to a place we weren’t ready for. The Holy Spirit led me to speak to him about it so I initiated a time for us to talk & meet up, but he canceled. Then asked me to help arrange for a small meeting. He told me he didn’t like me anymore, but I just felt hurt, anger, and frustration in his spirit from it not “working out” the way he wanted.
We hadn’t developed the authentic friendship based on Christ and cleaved from our human nature from before we dated and we woke up “love” before it was ready.
This video gave me confirmation that what I was sensing was true and I can release it all and focus on God to prepare me to be the true helpmate for my future husband. 🤍 And to keep praying for whomever my future husband is to grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to become them Man of God he desires to be for our future family.❤
Lolol I read the whole book song of songs the day before for my devotional. #confirmation
Amen!
Thank you so much, thank you for your wise teaching. God Bless!!!!
So glad you found it helpful! All glory to God!
Excellent
In God's timing Cody,if that's His will for you . Trust me I know how it's as I'm in the same situation.
Thank you for this! ❤️
Thank you so much Mark!
My pleasure! All glory to God!
Thank you sir
My pleasure!
I prayed since I was young not be fall in love with a wrong person. That God would keep my heart until the right one comes. Yet, I was given false hope with a man. Why would God open my heart to someone who will just hurt me.
Don't know your situation and the series of events that led to your heartbreak but consider the fact that God gives us free will. You have the power to open your own heart to whomever you choose. God gives us His word to know the difference between love and lust. Don't forget that the enemy is out to tempt and trick you as well... But, no worries. Do not harden your heart towards God and forgive yourself. You were led to this video for a reason. God will use that situation for good. God bless. 🙏🏽 🕊
Hi Livy. Mark has videos explaining this exact situation. Check out his main page.
Matthew 5:17-19 : “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law and the Prophets. I haven’t come to do away with them but to fulfill them (meaning of fulfill/make full : grant it the power to give people eternal life by covering our transgressions with his shed blood as long as we repent and do our best to sin no more, grace is not a license for sin or disobedience). For i say to you truly, till the heaven and earth pass away, neither the smallest letter nor even the smallest stroke of a pen will be erased from the Law until everything there becomes a reality. Therefore, whoever ignores one of the least of these commands and teaches others to do the same will be called the lowest in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps these commands and teaches people to keep them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Luke 16:17 : “It’s easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest stroke of a pen in the Law to drop out.”
John 14:15,21 : “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.”
Matthew 19:16-19 : “And see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good shall I do to have everlasting life?”
And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One, Alahim (God). But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commands.”
He said to Him, “Which?” And Yahusha said, “Don’t commit murder. Don’t commit adultery. Don’t steal. Don’t give false testimony. Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as you love yourself.” (Quoting from the 10 Commandments and Torah)
Matthew 7:21-23 : “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’
John 3:36 : “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
Matthew 13:41 : “The Son of Adam shall send out His angels, and they shall gather out of His reign all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness.”
Romans 2:13 : “For not the hearers of the Law are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the Law shall be declared right.”
Hebrews 4:9-13 : “So you see that a sabbath rest is left open for God’s people. The one who entered God’s rest also rested from his works, just as God rested from his own.
Therefore, let’s make every effort to enter that rest so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience, because God’s word is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates to the point that it separates the soul from the spirit and the joints from the marrow. It’s able to judge the heart’s thoughts and intentions. No creature is hidden from it, but rather everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of the One to whom we have to give an answer.”
James 1:22-25 : “You must be doers of the Word and not only hearers who mislead themselves. Those who hear but don’t do the Word are like those who look at their faces in the mirror, for they look at themselves, walk away, and immediately forget what they were like. But they who study the perfect Law, that of freedom, and continue in it, not becoming hearers that forget but doers of work, they shall be blessed in their doing of the Law.”
James 2:14-26 : “My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief but does not have works? This belief is unable to save him. And if a brother or sister is naked and in need of daily food, but one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” but you do not give them the bodily needs, what use is it?
So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead. But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works.
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe - and shudder!
But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief without the works is dead?
Was not Abraham our father declared right by works when he offered Isac his son on the slaughter-place?
Do you see that the belief was working with his works, and by the works the belief was perfected?
And the Scripture was filled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And He called him, “he who loves God.”
You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone.
In the same way, was not Rahab the whore also declared right by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the belief is dead without the works.”
1 John 2:3-7 : And by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commands.
The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of God has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked. Beloved, I write no fresh command to you, but an old command which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the Word which you heard from the beginning.”
1 John 3:4 : “Everyone doing sin also breaks the Law, for sin is lawlessness.”
1 John 5:3 : “For this is the love for God, that we keep His commands, and His commands are not heavy.”
2 John 1:6 : “And this is the love, that we walk according to His commands. This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.”
Revelation 12:17 : “And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of God and possessing the witness of Yahusha the Messiah.”
Revelation 14:12 : “Here is the endurance of the saints, here are those guarding the commands of God and the belief of Yahusha.”
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 : “Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear God and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! For God shall bring every work into right-judgement, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil.”
1 John 2:17 : “And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of God remains forever.”
Revelation 22:12-14
“And see, I am coming speedily, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work.
I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.
Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city.”
Romans 16:24-27 : “The favour of our Master Yahusha the Messiah be with you all. Amen.
And to Him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Yahusha the Messiah, according to the revelation of the secret which was kept silent since times of old, but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the everlasting God, for belief-obedience.
To Alahim (God), wise alone, be the esteem, through Yahusha the Messiah forever. Amen.
God bless!
Amen same here
Amen and Amen and Amen everyday same here
You are wrong. Blood is shed for once and for all time. Jesus will not come second time to die for our sins. We are forgiven, you must believe you are forgiven because of Jesus. Repenting of your sins does not do anything, nor works of the flesh
Thanks

REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND TURN FROM SIN AND TURN TOWARDS RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON AND WE MUST BE READY FOR WHEN HE COMES BACK
Thank you for the video, very informative! One question though, how can one take the fruit of love too late...would you mind giving an example? Thank you so much in advance.
By not getting into a relationship when a good one is available. or by dating too long and not getting married and then falling into sexual sin . . . just a few examples :)
I wish God gave me a purpose in life. Wish I was in others' exact shoes and not mine lol. I'm so behind in life at 27
Can you make a video on unbelief please ! I am here, I am stuck, I meditate, my mind is in spiritual warfare, I feel weak, lost, hopeless, everyday I meditate to try to keep my hope up, cause I know it’s the right thing to do. My thoughts are blasphemous and I hate it, when I wake up , it begins, and then an oppression is around , and I am praying for breakthrough
This video may help: ruclips.net/video/G-8UvE4VTWY/видео.html
If you think you're already too attached too soon, should you break up with the person? What should you do about it?
Thank God I'm not doing none of them
Hi Mark,a huge fan of applygodsword however kindly please use alternative or friendly images of married couples like holding hands but not too close to each other. I'm often watching these vids and find myself having to hide my screen because I feel like my teen siblings might think I'm not practicing what I'm always preaching and watching ill content. Your website and vids have taught me alot,we thank the lord for you. Kindly consider my request. Thanks for your time.
What does love need to grow and thrive in it's own timing?
1 Corinthians 13 is helpful
Hey mark, do you think God leaves the responsibility of marriage 100% up to us? This is a question I have been wondering for awhile. For example, I know several Christian singles that desired to be married; however, it just never happened in their lives and now they are in there 60’s. While, on the other hand, some that didn’t even really desire it as much are married in there 20’s. Do you think God just leaves it up to circumstances for a person to meet someone they can marry and some people just get unfavorable circumstances? I have tried asking out Christian girls in my life but it just never seems to workout. Thank you :)
Wow!
God bless!
Amen 🙏
God bless!
Is there a possibility you can explain the time line about the biblical marriage tradition, Like when I should intaduce the ring, I kinda have an understanding, All I know is that she has been growing more attached to me, It would be easier If I knew where I am at. What will I expect next all the way down the Isle
I would talk to your local pastor :)
I need to repent. I’m sorry Lord
Amen, it's a process. Keep following the Lord and he will guide you!
Too late. It awoke.
The goal is not to avoid it all together. The goal is to pursue love in a healthy way that honors God.
💜
Well marriage counselors by and large frequently have to suggest to couples to prioritize their affections because the world gets in the way. Without proactive effort many marriages would have no intimacy at all. Waiting for desire to organically build, and hope that both feel the same way at the same time, is not a great strategy long term… eventually the kids the dishes work the paperwork and the chaos of primary colors in your face all day wears you out. Lol in which case, dedicate the commitment everyday to prioritize affection. Lol life happens
I don’t believe this verse is about romance in general. I think it’s about not prematurely sexualizing youth. Meaning don’t destroy innocence…
THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS VIDEO I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY IS IT THAT GOD HAS FORBIDDED ME FROM EVER DATING FALLING IN LOVE GETTING MARRIED OR EVEN HAVING A WIFE PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT ONE TO ME SINCE YOU'RE TALKING SO MUCH ABOUT LOVE AWAKENING AT THE RIGHT TIME
Good day....
Either your listening to the wrong God or your overly fussy!
Pray about it and truly seek Him that created YOU...
Blessings....
sounds like you are speaking for God. I have no idea if God has done that. It probably is your own actions and you are blaming God, Proverbs 19:3. You sound really negative, so who would want to date a negative person. Just my thoughts since you asked
Love that is not free is forced and that’s not love at all…
It’s rape… 🌸
God bless!
God didn't say that. Solomon did. In a love poem.
in the bible, which is Gods word
@@NathanMladenik Well God's word contains a scene where a woman was literally f****d to death. A little introspection goes a long way.

In order to attract the love that you desire, you must take care of yourself first. When you love yourself, accept yourself and put yourself first, everything falls into place. The one thing that blocks you from manifesting a healthy relationship is when you put everyone else before you.

Love thinks for others without regards for itself. Love thinks highly of others than itself.
This is textbook New Age speak, which is not biblical at all, and you are obviously only commenting to promote your false light channel. Any saints reading this, RUN!
No, we're called to put God first.
Philippians 2 is good to read :)
Thank you so much
Confirmation, amen 🙏🏾
Thank you 😌 God bless you Mark! ⚘
God bless Delna!
Thank you lord amen 🙏🏾 😇
God is good!
