My son just asked me what kind of wife should he get. I googled Proverbs 31 woman and we watched this video. He's 9.
That is precious 😊 at least he is smart enough to ask such questions!
I married my own Proverbs 31 woman 5 years ago
I had just started the video.. I was reading your comment.. and I thought of this verse I wanted to tell you but I couldn’t remember it.....
And then Mark JUST said it on the video!! I didn’t have to remember it!
Amen! Wow..
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6 !!
God bless and keep you and your son! He has an amazing foundation !
Alice Webb. Awwww! Wow! ☺👍It sounds like yur lil. 9 yr old son is a gna be a Good, future Sav'd man of God/husband. To ask a "?" like that @ such a Yng age. I hva 8 yr old Grandghter. I Hope/🙏 she is More God concious as she gets older, etc..Her Dad is no longer a believer, nor does her ma, my dear Dghtr go 2 chrch anymore. So she dsn't take my 3 Gbaby's 2 Chrch serv./God's house, etc. Nor does my 8 yr go 2 chrch serv. with me, bcuz she's alwayz @ her dad's hme on Fri. nites - Sun.morn. Whew!
😂👍
And she deserves a virtuous man that is equally yoked with her. And that is just as rare. One in a million...
Amen!!!
I believe I'm with that kind of woman. Now who was damaged by the wrong. Man I pray to the Lord hewil bring her back to life
Btw my fiance Mark Minner typed this.
Narrow is the gate...hope that settles the matter 😉
I think we need to be very careful not to use the word "deserve", we don't deserve anything God gives us.
It is all a gift.
In The Letter by James he warns some people not to boast as if what they recieved they did not receive as if they have any reason to think they earned it.
This is so good. I’m definitely not a proverbs 31 woman, yet. Pray for me please!
Just prayed for you Abigail!
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger thank you! I really appreciate your prayers!
You are a proverbs 31 woman.
Abigail Garcia that’s what I said recently. I said “I’ll never measure up!” And then my friend has me read proverbs 31 in the Passion Translation. Check it out ! It will blow you away ! It’s literally talking about the body of Christ !
Self awareness is a huge step. You're on the right track.
I've met my proverbs 31 Woman ❤ thank you Lord Jesus!
Oh my...This is an eye opener... I was a Proverbs 31 women and without realizing it. I allowed satan to infiltrate slowly in my life and destroy it. I now see God is diligently working to redirect me back to what I use to be, but better. Thank you for posting. Your videos are reaching others. Keep up the Lord's work. Bless you.
Carolina Marie thanks so much and glad this was helpful!
Carolina Marie
Thank you for sharing. I think many women may feel like you do, like me. God is good and God will restore His children. It’s not too late for God to bring beautiful things out of our lives.

Yvette Sterling amen
Thank you for this message. I got work to do.
She’s out there. God knows she’s out there and I am praying and preparing. 🙏
thank you for posting this, it definitely reassured me that there are people out there like you. I hope you are blessed & obedient in whatever season you’re in now 🙏🏻

Tommy your awesome. I pray you find her and I pray I find a Godly man like you. God bless
Tommy, for sure she knows you’re out there, too. No doubt she’s been praying over and preparing for you her whole life. With a heart and attitude like that, no doubt you will find each other!

Hey Tommy, have you crossed paths yet? I have friends also waiting, it's so refreshing to see a man relying on God to provide His jigsaw piece for him.
Thank you. I always saw my Mum as the Proverbs 31 woman. My Dad was so blessed to have her as his wife and Mum as our mother. We were truly blessed.
mescis amen, so glad you had such a great example growing up
Beautiful❤❤❤🙏🏾
This is what I want so that I can raise my children the right way. I saw a lady who a small child and as they were crossing the street she said, “make sure you look both ways when you cross the street” haha so cute. I also want to teach her how to take the bus and train just in case. 🤔I said her but wouldn’t mind having a little boy to haha
I think it's interesting that non-Christians see Christianity as demeaning to women. But this description is very empowering and a phenominal goal to achieve! Maybe they hear the passage, "submit to your husbands" and assume that Christian women are entrapped. But a proverbs 31 woman is independent, strong, wise, beautiful, and FREE. Everything that modern women want to be! They don't have to be a man to be strong! This is true feminism. And you don't necessarily HAVE to have a husband to be a proverbs 31 woman either. Just humble yourself and you will feel empowered through the Lord. Women now a days are so misguided. I'm so thankful to be surrounded by a Christian community.
Great words of wisdom here! Thanks for sharing :)
@On TheEdge Genesis is telling something different when Eve ate the fruit. But there must be love and respect in a marriage.
@On TheEdge
Women get to choose whether they submit or not, they are not forced to do it. it is suppose to be a choice that comes from humility.
@On TheEdge That is just your pride talking. you think you can arrange Gods creation better than he can. while you're at it tell lionessess to stop hunting and tell the male lions to stop protecting the pride at the risk of their own lives. And if you so choose, since you think your ways are better than Gods, refuse to submit to your husband, you become his protector and willingly give up your life for him and let him submit to your leadership. We are all called to serve one another in different ways. Even Jesus said he came to serve not to be served. but you're too good for that apparently. God is not forcing you to submit to your husband, he is telling you this is how nature works, but if you disagree feel free to do things your own way.
be your own God and let us know how it turns out
@On TheEdge Look you don't have to live your life according to Gods way feel free to be your own little god since you know better than he does. Thinking you know better than God is pride even if you refuse to call it that.
Don't let this video make you comparing yourself with others or feel jealous. Always look at Christ and let His love transform us into whole and complete people, man and woman.
Amen! 😊❤️🙏🏼
Amen
Amen
Proverbs 31 reminds me of Ruth and Boaz 💕

I have a reminder set on my Amazon echo that reminds me every morning to thank God for my beautiful loving faithful wife! Also I am currently confined to a wheelchair and I’m praying for a complete restoration of healing and deliverance and the return of every single brain cell that has been lost, I suffered an anoxic brain injury from drug overdose when I was 15 years old and I’m 21 now but I have been faithfully serving the Lord since I was 17…
She is beautiful with the beauty of The Lord. Holy, kind, loving, wise, and strong in Faith. Always hopeful for her family and her future. Loves her husband and respect him. Think about the family finances and inheritances for the children and act intelligently about it. Is hard working. She is Loyal and walks honorably before the Lord. Worships her God and loves Him with her whole heart. Knows how to say No. And still smiles. Cares for the needy. Is forgiving and merciful.
Very well taught and my prayer is that each day I will be a Proverbs 31 woman too many women think this wisdom is only for married women, but it is for all women so that we live the life God intends for us.
Amen Rose!
I loved the fact that this was done in an informative way and not in a judgmental or preachy way that shames women. I enjoyed this.
I'm so glad it was enjoyable Brittney!
I aspire to be this woman, even though I have been betrayed. I will continue to be like her.
That experience does not define you, you recognized that you are prized more that rubies. God bless
@@ccagrad2002 it may very well define her. Most trauma defines people. It either inspires them or breaks them. Very rarely does betrayal not leave a mark on a person.
@ccagrad2002 ask Jesus & Judas
Great explanation on Proverbs 31.
A godly woman is rare.
Joseph Tang so true!
Striving to be a Proverbs 31 woman everyday 🙌🏾💕
I love this video...
I am a proverb 31 woman.
Thank You for telling men out there what a Virtuous woman/ wife should look like. .
God bless you
It’s not by chance I stumbled upon your channel.
I been praying for this kind of woman in my life, I’ve never had that in my life.
I trully believe God is about to let her come across my path.
Thank you and God Bless !!
I also want to be a proverbs 31 woman. Please pray for me. Thank you for the message brother!
I want to be the same way!!
Me too!!
Becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman is a top priority for any Christian woman, so thank you for your insight! If you like this Proverbs 31 Woman video, then you’ll love the Proverbs 31 Bible Verses video on my new channel. Thank you & be blessed! 😊
I'm so glad for this video Mark. I am a Proverbs 31 woman and now I'm waiting on 'The One' God has for me.
@On TheEdge what can you elaborate what you said doesnt make any sense to me
Be patient and keep waiting and praying for the one. I have waited over 20 years. I finally gave it to God and relaxed. About 5 months I met him and we are soon to be Wed You both will know it without a doubt. God is wonderful and he does keep his promises.
@@donnagibbs6242 how old were you?
I thank the Lord that He is moulding and refining me each day to be this Proverbs 31 woman...
It's never easy, but God is all able through His mercy and grace...
As we are of Christ, we become more like Him...
I pray for Ephesians 5 husband...
"Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her. Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.”
My perspective is, with everything she has done or does, she has a good character. A Godly character. That is what essentially sets her apart. That is one of the most important things in life to have.
God is trying to bring me back to realizing how important this woman is but it's really hard if your the only one in your household with this heart for what God had In mind for a woman and wife
This is my first time hearing Proverbs 31 described this way. I always felt like I would never live up to her because I didn't know that what the passage is describing are principals. I've been searching for what it looks like to be her in today's world and this video is exactly what I needed, thank you!
I love the Proverbs 31 woman's entrepreneurial spirit. I find that so empowering!! I also love the fact she can find balance in serving God and others, loving submission to her husband, care for her children, and time for her own personal ambitions and interests.
I see what God wants me to be, and through His word He shows me how. God is good all the time.
Blessings 🕊
Loved this wonderful real life explanation of the Proverbs 31 woman. I’ve felt for years that I don’t measure up. Many sermons I have heard before didn’t seem realistic. I feel much better about the woman I can be.
I like the verse that states she not only provides for her family but also her servants. ( no matter the social status, every person within her reach will be loved and cared for because of who she is, not who they are. Love has no prejudice.) Verse 15
God bless!
A while back I struggled with guilt over being self employed and basically working while I was a wife and mother, but God kept nudging me to read Proverbs 31. Then I saw it with fresh eyes that this woman is industrious, entrepreneurial and makes the most of what she has from God in order to benefit her family, and it changed everything ❤
This is the way to prioritize for your family, God first, husband next, children, then friends and neighbors
I am this woman, I was called to the lord after marrying and now we’ve got 43 years. I had a career, but I sew, garden, can, clean and take care of family. I change plans if needed but you need to take care of yourself. My friends know my priority order.
We need to continue these traits even when family doesn’t recognize them, they will eventually
Proverbs 31 does give a really big impact to every women🙂
Amen
Hi Mark, I fully agree with the points you have raised. Yes a Proverbs 31 woman is truly a very rare and special woman.
Amen, it's a powerful passage :)
.
AWESOME!!! . . . The very first time in my life that I realized that I am actually, truly a Proverbs 31 Woman, where before I never thought I was!
I love your channel. I just finished reading Proverbs and about to start John.....I am a new believer from the Philippines and I find your channel very helpful in my day to day readings and reflections. God bless you!!!
I believe proverbs 31 is not only describing a godly woman, but Christ's bride the true church. I believe there are some core principals in proverbs 31 that are also throughout the Word encouraging all believers such as fearing the Lord, extending help to the poor and needy, also being clothed in strength and dignity. We laugh without fear of the future because we trust in the Lord. Anyway, great post brother! Could you maybe elaborate a little on your thoughts of the proverbs 31 resembling the true church?
Great thoughts Haylee McBride. I don't think that point is explicit in the text but I don't see any reason we can't take the principles in proverbs 31 and apply them to the church. Some also believe that this text is referring to lady wisdom in general and not to actual females. Proverbs in general is all about principles and not promises or specifics.
yes indeed!
Agree!
This a very nice way to keep your mind steady while searching for a true Church of the Lord. Thank you for pointing that out.
indeed you are right
Just found out about your teaching. My 19 year old son told me about you. Love everything I have seen so far. Keep up the GOD work!!! Thank you
Craig and Jenni Tissell hey! I’m 19 too!
I didn't know about proverbs 31 before. All Christian woman should strive for this.
I can only prepar myself while waiting on gods bessing to bring me the woman that is good for me. Yes I have the will to choose but god knows best for me. I realized that and I don't wanna miss out on gods blessing for a wife.
You depicted very well the 'grace' of the Proverbs 31 woman. Many think they are suppose neglect themselves for other. Very receptive to this message of the 'Godly Woman'. 'Thank You' for this prophetic message. The Proverbs 31 woman's grace is her beauty in God. Blessings Mark.
Great video. As I studied proverbs 31 I was able to discover 26 characteristics. It inlightened me and also motivated me to be greater and do greater.
Qiana Marie what were those 26? :)
I love Proverbs 31...A very powerful scripture....I am a strong believer in self-care....Ladies don't neglect yourself....Thanks for your insight
I have met my proverb 31 woman by faith in my vision not by sight in Jesus name amen
God has blessed me tremendously through this message! 😄 Thank you for making it so clear and concise and for following God’s word only (and not your own opinion) to teach people the truth. God bless you and yours! ❤️🙏🏼
So tired of the "Instagram" women so prevalent today, even in church. You know, the kind who checks her Facebook incessantly, and posts selfies in between hymns.
I would love to meet a Proverbs 31 woman. But, I know I am not at a place where such a woman would seriously consider me. I pray that God continues the work that He started in me, and continues to sanctify me.
Thank you for this explanation and confirmation! 5 years after you created it, people are searching it. Praise the Lord.
Proverbs 31
Woman’s Beauty,
Truly comes from Within ❤️
Thanks for your interpretation of this biblical passage. A healthy explanation of womanhood.
Mylady ATS, you are welcome, glad you enjoyed it :)
1) She loves God and follows him close
2) She help her kids and husband the best she can
3) she wants to change for the Lord
4) she is a prayer warrior she reads her Bible everyday
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (October 11, 2020), I attended the graveside service at a local United Methodist Church for a woman whose daughter & I were in high school together. This was read at the service. We will all miss you, Ms. Loretta.
I wake up every day and confess that I'm a proverbs 31 woman.
Confess or proclaim.......
@Harry Munker Perhaps she was trying to guide her thinking so she can embody these principles.
@Harry Munker this is how real preaching sounds like. Thank you!
God I thank you for making me find my proverb 31 woman. I'm blessed🙏🙏
Wow, it's hard to find someone like that, but i need to get there myself.
I came here cause I had a talk with God I ask to him train me to be the woman he wants to be. I worked hard to get my spiritual faith up and loving myself.
So glad you are here!
Mark, this message, sponsored by God, has been an enormous blessing to me and some recent struggles with self worth. The struggles with certain women at a hostile workplace I needed to leave, were due to jealousy from what I was told. It really hurt me and now am opening my own business. I am thrilled that due to this message, I can truly let go of the hurt and enjoy being who I am. An abundant female. Thank you and big giant love and light to your ✨Devine✨ work. 💚🎶🌹
I'm so glad this was helpful! All glory to God!
I love that a Proverbs 31 woman reminds me also of RUTH AND BOAZ🌈👋🏽👋🏽🌈🙏🏽🙏🏽🌈👋🏽👋🏽🌈🙏🏽🙏🏽🌈
Out of all your videos I have watched, this one really got me deep. Thank you so much for sharing this! I needed this today! 🙂 Blessings from Serbia 🇷🇸

Hi Mark, I can’t tell you how wonderful this teaching is praise God! I’m subscribing today, can’t wait to watch more of your videos. God bless you 😊🙏
The key is 'The fear of the Lord'. The woman who has the fear of the Lord will become the Proverbs 31 woman.
God bless

No thanks I fear nothing
Awesome, encouraging, and inspiring, too. Plus, it definitely increases my faith, in the Word, in God, and in women.
Praise God brother! That was a good explanation, it helped me understand the chapter in an entirely different way, the way you Incorporated the verses for the current lifestyle was very good. Thank you.

Thank you. I find your videos very helpful. They helped clarify and define some issues I've been having. It has allowed me to let go of some anxieties I've had over feeling in regards to worthiness. Again thank you
Hi Cathy, I'm blessed to hear this! Thanks for sharing
To the guy who spoke on the virtuous woman. Its great and very true what you said. But from mt experience it has become very hard to love some husbands. Especially when the man is an obstacle when the wife is doing her best to teach her children Gods word.
Stay grounded in Jesus. He'll lead you and give you wisdom in that area
Amazing. Promise vs Principle. Such great insight!
Thank you for reminding me how God sees me.I have fallen short but I am walking in priv.31now,today.....Thanks Jesus..
God bless you and the family!Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I really enjoy learning and gaining perspective of Christianity through your videos. Many blessings.
Thank you for this. I am a Proverbs 31 wife and I am new in the United States and I need the Lord's protection each day in Belle Glade. It reminds me of Ruth and Boaz. I find God's truth every day and believe the Lord is my Shepherd. I pray I can love my husband well and do even better things as a prudent wife without lust of the world or stress 💕 Praise God bless me Lord💕❤️🎄🤰🤲😇
I love your energy! Thank you for the invaluable advice and the guidance!
My pleasure!
Thanks, Mark. Really appreciate the message. Hugs and blessings!
Sometimes people will say bad things about you because they are upset with you because you didn't give them all they want. Sometimes helping people is never enough. This doesn't necessarily make you a bad leader.
Thank you very much, very practical explanation, this is part of my Christian Living class to grade 9 students and this actually is the best explanation so far of a real Christian woman.. Bless you..
What a great teaching; thank you! I have blessed to have found one 🤗
Amen, you are the only one so far who taught me well, others tried but you are the best teacher. God bless you🙏
Great brief out line on this topic;
