play00:00

God uses difficult things in our life to

play00:02

help us accomplish the will that he

play00:05

wants for us and this truth applies to

play00:09

finding the right person God has for us

play00:11

as well therefore here are four

play00:13

challenging things God will use to help

play00:16

your heart align with the right person

play00:19

he wants you to marry number one if

play00:21

you're beginning to realize you have to

play00:23

let go of someone who you thought was

play00:25

the one that's a good sign that God is

play00:28

actually aligning you to be with the

play00:31

real one maybe you clicked on this video

play00:34

hoping to see some signs that would

play00:36

confirm you'll be with that person you

play00:39

have in your mind that you think may be

play00:42

the one for you and maybe this video

play00:45

will confirm that and maybe you will see

play00:47

signs that God is going to let you marry

play00:52

that person who you think is the one but

play00:55

I just want to point out that it's very

play00:58

common for Christians to have to go

play01:00

through a period of where they thought

play01:03

someone was the one but then they have

play01:05

to go through this challenging

play01:07

experience of accepting that they were

play01:10

wrong that this isn't the one so you're

play01:12

not alone that's usually something that

play01:15

happens to most of us in our season of

play01:18

singleness before God does align us with

play01:21

the right one so be encouraged that if

play01:23

you are going through that process and

play01:26

if you think you know you could just

play01:28

never be happy with anyone but the this

play01:30

one person remember the truth of

play01:32

scripture that God's ways are better

play01:34

than our ways that he has things planned

play01:36

that are better than we can even imagine

play01:39

so while you might be with someone

play01:42

different than you thought you'll also

play01:44

have to REM remember that this means God

play01:46

has someone better for you than you

play01:48

thought number two if you have to

play01:50

sacrifice one relationship desire in

play01:53

order to experience a another

play01:56

relationship desire that's a good sign

play01:59

God is aligning you to meet the one

play02:03

sometimes our desires conflict with each

play02:06

other in other words to experience one

play02:10

desire that you have you have to let go

play02:13

of a different desire I know it's

play02:15

tempting to think that we can have it

play02:17

all and maybe you'll be one of those

play02:20

people who does get to experience all of

play02:23

those desires that you currently have

play02:26

but more often than not what happens is

play02:29

that you meet a real person and you

play02:32

realize that they aren't going to be

play02:35

able to have all of those desires that

play02:38

you thought in other words to have one

play02:40

of the things you really want you have

play02:43

to sacrifice one of the other things

play02:45

that you also really want so for example

play02:47

to help us understand this here's here's

play02:50

something to think about maybe you're

play02:52

someone who wants to marry someone else

play02:57

who loves missions like you you want to

play02:59

be be a missionary right now you're not

play03:02

a missionary but you think you know down

play03:04

the line that's something I want to do

play03:06

and I want to marry someone with that

play03:08

same desire but then you actually meet a

play03:11

real person you fall in love with that

play03:14

person this person loves Jesus they have

play03:16

a strong passion for Ministry but

play03:19

missions is not one of those strong

play03:22

passions they're not like against

play03:23

missions but that's just not what they

play03:25

feel called to do with their life now

play03:28

you're going to be presented with a

play03:30

choice are you going to not choose this

play03:34

person because you're going to wait for

play03:36

someone else that you're going to fall

play03:37

in love with who also loves missions or

play03:41

are you willing to accept that maybe God

play03:43

is saying this is the person I have for

play03:46

you but you're going to have to let go

play03:48

of that other desire to do missions I

play03:51

you know God still wants you to serve

play03:53

him but you don't have to just serve him

play03:55

in one narrow way there's millions of

play03:57

ways that you can love God and and serve

play04:00

him and other people that's often what

play04:02

happens when you're aligning with the

play04:04

one you have to be letting go of some so

play04:06

that you can actually receive some other

play04:09

things because in real life it's very

play04:11

rare that everything on your list

play04:14

actually comes true and just as a quick

play04:16

side note before we move on I'm not

play04:18

saying that you need to let go of

play04:20

everything if you have to literally just

play04:22

let go of every other desire you have in

play04:25

order to be with somebody that's

play04:27

probably a sign that you shouldn't be

play04:28

with that person there's going to be a

play04:31

lot of congruity in your life when you

play04:33

meet the right person but also when true

play04:35

love is present there always will be

play04:37

some sacrifice number three if you're

play04:39

beginning to face one of those fears

play04:41

that have directly blocked you from

play04:43

getting into a healthy relationship

play04:45

that's a good sign that God is aligning

play04:48

you to be with the right person for some

play04:51

of you there isn't some glaring issue

play04:54

that's you know definitely the reason

play04:56

why you haven't met somebody sometimes

play04:59

it's just a timing thing there's just a

play05:01

general you know lack of order or

play05:04

direction and you just haven't met that

play05:07

person we all are in that phase at some

play05:09

point in life you know you before you

play05:11

meet somebody you're in that General

play05:13

confusion phase of I don't know who to

play05:16

meet but for other people

play05:19

there's an exact issue they know is the

play05:22

issue so you know they know I have a

play05:25

death fear of talking to women obviously

play05:29

that is probably the number one reason

play05:32

you haven't actually gotten in a

play05:33

relationship with a woman or you've been

play05:36

abused as a child and you know you

play05:38

haven't dealt with that trauma and every

play05:40

time you get in a relationship with

play05:43

someone all those issues start coming

play05:46

out and just completely derail the

play05:48

relationship the trauma the issues in

play05:51

your childhood weren't your fault but

play05:52

now as an adult you haven't yet chosen

play05:55

to deal with those things so that you

play05:57

can function in a healthy relationship

play06:00

again there are millions of examples

play06:02

that could be the specific issue and you

play06:05

know what that issue is for you if there

play06:07

is that issue if you're like I don't

play06:09

know what that issue is well certainly

play06:11

wise to just pray about it you know pray

play06:13

what it says in Psalms 139 that God

play06:15

would reveal anything in you that needs

play06:19

to be exposed but if there isn't

play06:21

something then just accept that there

play06:23

isn't and it's just not God's timing and

play06:25

number four if you are beginning to

play06:27

accept how inadequate it the one

play06:31

actually is to fulfill you like they

play06:34

that you thought they would fill you

play06:35

that's a great sign that God is actually

play06:38

preparing you and aligning you to be

play06:40

with this person maybe you have very

play06:43

realistic expectations and you don't

play06:45

need to go through this process of

play06:47

letting the idol go but a lot of us

play06:51

almost all of us it's basically

play06:54

impossible to have a full true real

play06:57

expectation of this relationship until

play07:00

you get into that relationship because

play07:02

we all just naturally dream hope and

play07:05

some of those things just aren't going

play07:06

to happen so when you can accept that

play07:10

this person is not going to solve my

play07:13

deepest problems Jesus alone is our

play07:16

sustainer Our Savior and when we can let

play07:19

go of those unrealistic expectations we

play07:22

are that much closer to being aligned

play07:26

with the right person and God's timing a

play07:28

thumbs Up's a huge blessing into this

play07:30

ministry it helps these videos spread to

play07:32

other people who might need to see them

play07:34

I'm Mark from applygodsword decom and

play07:36

I'll see you at the next video God bless
