One of your greatest prayers as a Christian should be not to miss the right person God wants you to marry this may come off as a surprise for you but God has attached so much interest in significance to marriage he created and blessed it in the first place so it breaks his heart every time it doesn't work or we miss it or have a marriage that doesn't play according to his rules you see there are many blessings Attached to marrying the right person and running your home by God's order for instance in Proverbs chapter 5
verses 18 through 20 the Bible says may your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth a loving doe a graceful dear may your breasts satisfy you always may you ever be intoxicated with her love why my son be intoxicated with another man's wife why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman clearly God is declaring the blessedness Of loving your spouse delighting in them and being faithful to them and in Malachi chapter 2 verses 13 through 16 it says another thing you do you flood the Lord's altar with tears You
Weep and wail because he no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands you ask why it is because the Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth you have been unfaithful to her Though she is your partner the wife of your marriage covenant has not the one God made you you belong to him in body and spirit and what does the one God seek Godly Offspring so be on your garden do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth the man who hates
and divorces his wife says the Lord the god of Israel does violence to the one he should protect says the Lord Almighty so be on your guard and do not be unfaithful There are many other parts of scripture which talks about God's intention and expectation from the marital Union I know that today if you take a good look at the media and the internet you'll see how we have more weddings than we do marriages we have more children than we do parents to oversee them divorce and marital crises has led to an increase in the
number of single parents struggling to raise their children the way they deserve to be However no matter what the world may say or how the world sees it please remember that for us children of God his standard for us is the reality we want to live in it may not make sense to the world and it may not even seem possible to them but to those born of God's spirit and who believe in the name of his son Jesus Christ Our Lord all things are possible you know if God tells us that we should do
something no matter how it sounds he has made Grace available for us to do it We only need to be willing to do it like it is true and trust him to enable us to go beyond our natural limitations to do it this particular message is a more directed message to the unmarried believer who is still waiting on God for the right time and the right person however it is also for the married believer who needs God's wisdom that he or she will pass on to their children or any person God will bring their way
You can catch one of our previous titles about how to know if God wants you to be with someone there are certain signs he will want you to look for those signs will help you to decide whether or not this is the person God wants you to make your spouse now let me help you see some of the things God will do in your life when you meet the one he wants you to marry it is my desire and prayer that your spiritual eyes will be opened and you will understand God's message to you Personally
I also pray that this message will prove useful to your marital security both now and later apart from the signs that you will see in the person God wants you to be with there are also certain things he will do in your life when you meet the person allow me to place everything I am about to say into four points like I said these are not things the person will do in your life no they'll be the results of God's handiwork if you expect them From your partner you'll be asking them of something they honestly
don't have the ability to give even if they try and thus you'll be disappointed this is one of the reasons behind so many breakups a very promising relationships number one when you meet the one God wants you to marry he will fill your heart with an assuring conviction of peace this is different from the peace you'll want to have by knowing the person has good qualities The Bible says that this peace passes all understanding it does not originate here and so it is beyond the understanding of this realm it is a blessing from God you
see in the Bible of Proverbs chapter 18 verse 22 this piece is called favor from the Lord he who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord you can get many favors from the Lord one of them is found when you meet the right person if you read the story Of our first parents Adam and Eve you'd see that strong sense of conviction and peace when Adam met her for the first time for example without being told Adam knew Eve was taken out of him and created to be his wife
remember they were meeting for the first time he was asleep while God was creating her and so he knew little to nothing about her character or personality yet because Adam had the spirit of God Within him he was so convinced and full of space that he faced her and told her she was his wife and even named her now even if you've seen some of the signs that someone is the one God wants you to marry you will struggle without conviction and peace in fact the purpose of every sign God shows you is to open
you up to these things being outlined which he will start doing in your life when you meet him remember that the Bible says there is no Fear in love when God puts love for someone in your heart he fills you with peace removing every form of fear and uncertainty within you married couples can even confirm this too that many times what gets them through their days with all the chaos and struggles of life is the thought of knowing that someone loves them and is waiting for them to come home this is called assuring conviction and
peace it is not something that we can completely explain in our Terms it is the result of something God begins to do in our heart and life the moment you meet the one person he wants you to be with remember this doesn't depend on what the person has done or not done nor does it depend on what they are doing those have their own place rather this is God's work peace it confirms what he has told you regarding marriage and what signs he may have shown you regarding the person it is one of the most
important things to believe God for as as you prepare to find that one special person and spend the rest of your life with them in his will number two another thing God will do in your life when you meet that brother or sister he wants you to marry is that he will open your eyes to begin to see things from a new light both about them and about your own self this is so amazing that it is the power of genuine Divine love when you meet the right person gradually God Will begin to open your
eyes to see things about them and about yourself that you never saw before for example you could begin to see how beautiful or handsome they look you would begin to see yourself with them in the future doing the will of God together you'll begin to see the uniqueness of their gifts on your life and the uniqueness of yours in their life as well because of the future God has ordained for two of you he will also open your Spiritual eyes concerning each other sometimes you may find yourself seeing visions about him or her and she
may start seeing things about you too sometimes God will reveal this so you can pray understand them better or so you can help them either through counsel or some other form of support this leads us to our next point number three a new sense of commitment and responsibility when you meet the right person God will place you in a new Sense of responsibility concerning them which you never had before this responsibility isn't the same as something you put on yourself because you just like someone or you feel sympathy for them no more than that it
is the result of a burden God will put in your heart this burden becomes like second nature to you you'll begin to find yourself thinking about his or her well-being God uses this to change you especially if you are not really a giver Or responsible person before that time well growing up we would say their partner has gone to bind this person with the spell however this is beyond that you see although the people of the world through satanic inspiration have devised ways of binding someone to themselves Satan actually copied it from God this is
what God does he just begins to move you to have this person on your mind all the time Not because you want to take advantage of them or have any corrupt thoughts in your heart about them rather it is a genuine feeling of responsibility for them you want to know how they are doing even when you are mad at them you feel until you hear from them you won't be comfortable and so on you find yourself praying for them a lot you find yourself thinking about buying something for them when you are shopping you think
about helping them break bad Habits reach their goals and become all that God wants them to be you are not a fool for doing this you are not blind either does it make you weak and neither are you under a spell it is the work of God he's brought you to the right person and he's driving you to establish your relationship with them in a way that leads to the Fulfillment of his agenda for both of you and by the way no spells or enchantments can work on a true child of God who is walking
in the light so do Not be afraid Numbers Chapter 23 verse 23 says there is no divination against Jacob no evil Omens against Israel it will now be said of Jacob and of Israel see what God has done and then number four God will use your relationship to teach you more about himself in your relationship with him one of the great beauties of our Earthly marital relationships is that it mirrors our Spiritual relationship with God although in scripture God uses marriage to describe his relationship with his people for instance he'd call the nation of Israel
his wife though he is mostly called father connoting his parental Dimension using marriage to describe his relationship with his people is a revelation of the intimacy that he expects us to have with him Ezekiel chapter 16 verse 8. later I passed by and when I looked at you and Saw that you were old enough for love I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your naked body I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you declares The Sovereign Lord and you became mine what a beautiful description of God's
love and kindness on his people when you meet the right person God begins to teach you the art of loving someone besides just you before you would love yourself and Easily forgive in yourself now you will have someone to love like yourself and help to forgive themselves when they offend you before you've dealt only with asking God for mercy and being assured he has forgiven you no you have someone who might get on your nerves but you have to learn to forbear and forgive remember God knows that we aren't perfect he also knows that we
may never understand what or how deep his love goes however through our marital Relationship he begins to break the wall of unforgiveness in us and makes our heart tender like his I really believe that only married people truly understand what the love of God means especially towards us a love that binds you to someone even in their imperfections of course permit me to say that God doesn't lead you to marry an abuser or an unbeliever that would contradict what his word already says about the matter he won't lead you to Marry someone who will threaten
your life and safety however there will always be imperfections in the person he leads to you which may get on your nerves but through the work of God in your life you begin to adjust compromise moderately and become a more understanding and loving individual the right partner for the person God wants you to be with don't forget that as God is doing this in your life he is also working it within the life of the one he Wants you to marry here's why so that you too can become another family unit on Earth through which
his name is glorified his agenda is sponsored and godly Generations are raised I encourage you to spend time in prayer and ask God to help you recognize these things when he begins to work them in your life so that you don't make the mistake of giving up on the right person when they come Lord Everyone wants to love and be loved love is the most sought after human emotion unfortunately many people searching for true love end up being heartbroken because the person they chose was not the right one for them for wise Believers relying on
God's wisdom is necessary to help us find the right person when we marry a person according to God's plan we are more likely to have a Successful and fruitful relationship and that leads to a beautiful marriage based on Words and actions it can be easy to tell when God doesn't approve of someone and when he wants you to let them go there are also obvious signs when God wants you to be with someone Proverbs 16 9 says in their hearts humans plan their course but the Lord establishes their steps God is always in control of
Our Lives he Knows what's best for us God knows that most people want to get married someday Life is Beautiful especially when you're with the right person God wants you to be happy and there are many ways he shows his love one of them is by sending you someone wise Believers will always look for a sign from God so they don't make mistakes and end up with the wrong person Have you ever had the feeling that you should be with someone but that person doesn't want to be with you as Christians how do we know
if the person God wants us to be with is the right one there are so many questions to ask and here are your answers God will send you signs when he wants you to be with someone he will never leave you guessing or searching aimlessly in the dark When God wants you with someone this will happen mutual interest Mutual commitment and mutual progression forward are signs God wants you with someone one sign that's crucially important but so obvious that it gets overlooked is the need for mutual interest from both people while it's not wrong for
one person to have feelings first but it eventually has to be mutual for the relationship to Happen you must want to be together and a longing to move past this first stage into a marital relationship must be present God will often reveal his will for this relationship through your expressing your feelings and seeing how the other person responds when there's a mutual interest Mutual commitment and mutual willingness to move the relationship forward at a Healthy pace these are strong indication God does want you with this person if the person is the right one for you
you'll agree with being in each other's lives you can't force anyone to get married to you this is true because even God himself did not force us to love him he gave us the power of free will The Power of Choice when God puts love in your heart towards Someone he's offering you an opportunity to make a difference in that person's life you must learn to follow that love do not ignore it act on it somebody needs what you have when God wants you with someone he'll always make the relationship possible in practical ways this
is another important sign to look out for there will be all kinds of spiritual indicators for believers that God does Or does not want them with someone but God will also speak practically as well for example if you want to be with someone but that person gets a job and moves to another city or country and they don't seem committed to making this relationship work this practical barrier in the relationship is a strong indication God may not want you both together this is because it takes two people in agreement to make a relationship work You
both may have declared your feelings for each other but when circumstances arise there should be a way that these circumstances do not affect your relationship there should always be a way to make the relationship work regardless of the circumstances when God wants you with someone they will also want the relationship and will always play their part to make it work when the necessary practical ingredients for the Relationship to work are present for example God causing a job relocation or creating a better job offer where the other partner is bringing you closer to each other this
is a sign God wants you with that person the relationship is in line with your relationship with God if being with someone strengthens your relationship with God rather than compromises it it's a good sign God wants you with that person The person God wants for you will encourage you and help you build your relationship with God and fulfill your ministry you'll find that both of you have similar values morals and desires for God will never send you someone who will lead you astray or corrupt your morals First Corinthians 15 33. don't be misled Bad Company
corrupts good character God will not send you someone who will Corrupt you or someone who will stand in the way of the ministry he has given you even if the person is a believer biblical confirmation will always be present when God wants you with someone this is one of the important aspects you should never Overlook as a believer as a Believer you need to understand the word of God as your manual you need to consider it as your guide in every aspect of your life more importantly deciding on a spouse The word and spirit of
God must be a guide for you as to what a good spouse must be as Believers we're not at Liberty to do whatever we please because we're from a different Kingdom than the people in the world this means that even though there are mutual feelings and a mutual agreement to make things work it doesn't automatically guarantee it's God's will for you God will not want a Believer to marry an unbeliever it isn't because God doesn't love unbelievers but because they'll pull you away from the faith they'll pull you away from your source of life God
wants to be glorified in our relationship because that's the only way the relationship can be beneficial to us also you should not be with someone who does the opposite of God's word thereby causing you to fall into temptation for Example if a partner wants sex before marriage that's not God's choice for you God's choice for you is someone cautious enough to obey God's word the Christian has a great Advantage when it comes to relationships that non-christians don't have we do not need to wonder and guess about what God does or does not want for us
in life when we read the Bible we learn in very specific detail how God wants us to live Our lives so if a relationship would cause you to disobey any part of the Bible this relationship is clearly not of God but when this relationship will actually help you obey what God Said in the Bible this is a sign God probably does want you with this person the trials you face don't tear your bond but strengthen you our science God wants you to together we all go through trials in life even Though some are more difficult
than others we must learn to still be happy together regardless of what comes our way most times the road leading to God's plan for our life is often the road that's marked by trials and tests aimed at putting the believer forward everything may not always go smoothly in the relationship when God brings two people together he will solidify and strengthen their bond not through easy times but through hard times through Trials through a series of tests don't get me wrong a relationship should be filled with joy fun and pleasant Seasons as well but one sign
that God truly wants you to be with someone is when the hard things that happened are used to strengthen your bond with each other rather than weaken it there might occasionally be disagreements here and there but nothing should be able to separate you too If one person can't take the trials you two face and decides to leave then it's not the will of God for you both to be together this is because marriage is a lifetime Journey and God doesn't want you to be with someone who'll give up on you as you go through life's
journey so God will oftentimes test the relationship before the marriage you both should be able to comfort each Other encourage each other and also turn to God whenever both of you are confused and in need of Direction a mutual desire to sacrifice time and energy to make things work will be present when God is putting two people together the best things in life take the most time and attention to cultivate and maintain every relationship thrives in the Presence of sacrifice without hard work and lots of energy spent a relationship will die if someone can't muster
up the strength to check up on you after work the relationship is just not gonna happen if you don't like someone enough to use your weekends to get to know them this relationship is clearly not meant to be you're not meant to be with someone who doesn't at least try to be with you you plan dates single-handedly and mostly Initiate the interactions from the interest to the love everything seems one-sided there's nothing right about this they're just not into you in a relationship love is not enough to make it work the two must be willing
to make the relationship work in practical ways there must be a mutual sacrifice a person who truly loves you would never put themselves in a position to lose you when God truly wants you with someone he will provide you both with the required Divine strength to make the relationship work you'll find yourself being happy and flourishing because that has always been the will of God for you the scriptures say in Amos 3 3. do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so if the energy and the desire for sacrifice are not present this
is a sign that the relationship is not going to happen God will not give you someone who doesn't think you're worth all the stress when both of you can find time for each other despite your busy schedule it's often a sign that this is the one God has for you your partner will have christ-like qualities if your partner has character traits that genuinely reflect Christ in their lives then it's one of God's signs as a Believer God wants you to be with The person who has Integrity accountability and maturity moreover God wants you to be
with someone who can influence you to grow in your Christian walk your partner would love God more than they love you as Christians we're called to love God first and wholeheartedly before loving others anyone who loves anything above God is in sin because that person or thing would become an idol God is everything we must love him first and only through the love of God can we learn to sincerely love others your security and your relationship only comes from how much the person you're with or intend to be with genuinely loves and honors God only
someone who values God would value God's creation a person who loves God genuinely will not cheat on you or abuse you physically emotionally or any other way They would rather see you as God's perfect creation while obeying and treating you right as God commanded in the Bible overall your relationship must be glorifying to God to have his favor it means that you and your partner must live according to his will plus you both should keep your relationship pure in all sense before God life is all about purpose God's purpose God's ultimate desire is for you
to Fulfill what he created you to be in life with a loving and right partner purpose Works more effortlessly if you're experiencing these signs with someone God might want you to be with them especially if you've prayed and God has spoken to you as a child of God you have a relationship with God you should know how and when God speaks to you Don't blindly follow your heart follow God's voice follow God's signs keep an open mind and let God lead you every step of the way it's not over until you win life can be
challenging life can throw one thing after another at you after a while you might start to Define Yourself by your challenges by how people view you by the lies that the devil is putting in your mind Start to believe that you're not good enough that you're weak that things will never change that you'll never make it that you're doomed we believe all manner of things based on what we've gone through and you can be overwhelmed and feelings of hopelessness can take over though all these feelings and beliefs can be very real we need to ask
ourselves some pertinent questions should we allow people to Define who we are should our circumstances Define who We are is our value based on what we've achieved or acquired of course not the truth is only the maker of a thing truly knows its purpose what he made it for only the maker of a thing knows its abilities or limitations in the same way only God who made us who intricately knit us in our mother's womb knows and therefore has the right to Define who we are what we can do and what will become why because
the Creator knows what he put in you he alone knows Our beginning and our end so why are so many of us Christians not able to be confident bold and Victorious why are we walking around with the defeated attitude with our heads hanging down because we have allowed the lies of the enemy to become Our Truth Satan uses the same old trick that he used from the beginning of time he attacks the mind he did it in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve he played with Eve's mind And made her doubt what God
had said did God really say he asked and even today Satan uses the same tricks over and over planting lies in our minds did God really say you're the head and not the tail did God really say if you confess your sins you're forgiven were you actually healed by the stripes on Jesus's back the enemy will bring doubts into your mind he'll attack your thoughts because He knows that your victories begin with your thought life you think you're a loser nobody can make you a winner but if you believe you're more than a conqueror in
Christ nobody and nothing can stop you and sometimes the word of God is so simple that we struggle to accept it as it is the mystery of how powerful God's word is makes it difficult for many to just take it as it is we may struggle to understand how such a Holy God can forgive us so easily we may struggle to understand how a disease that doctors have given up on can just be healed in the name of Jesus we may struggle to understand how God can make a way where there seems to be no
way but friends it's time to put on that helmet of salvation the blood of Jesus is an assurance of who we are and whose we are the work of the Cross has made all the promises of God ours to claim let our thoughts be fixed on who God is And how far he's brought you and what he says about you you have to remind yourself over and over that you belong to God and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him believe what God says in his word about you and about your
circumstances don't give in to the Mind Games The Devil is playing on you James 4 7 submit yourselves then to God resist the devil and he will flee from you thoughts of discouragement will come Those thoughts of defeat will come but it's up to you and me to resist those thoughts resist means that you can't just sit there and pray that the thoughts will go away you'll have to be deliberate in fighting off ungodly thoughts you can't just sit around and wait for the thoughts to go away you'll have to actively on purpose refuse to
let those thoughts stay in your mind refuse to entertain thoughts that are contrary to God's word and even better In that you replace the lies of the enemy with the truth of God's word you'll start to see and experience God's victories in your life when you read God's word meditate on it and speak it over your life over the sick person over your challenging situations things cannot remain the same you see God's word is not positive thinking God's word is not an empty hope God's word is living and active and once we understand that believe
it and apply It we'll begin to see his word coming to life before our eyes Hebrews 4 12 for the word of God is alive and active sharper than any double-edged sword it penetrates even to dividing Soul and Spirit joints and Marrow it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart God's word is alive friends but where is your mind today is it caught up in the opinions and perceptions of the world well Paul advises Us in Romans 12 2 do Not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is his good pleasing and perfect will we have to Value God's wisdom above the world's wisdom we have to be willing to do things God's way in order for us to see and experience God's power and victory in our lives we have to be fully committed to God and take his truth as the only truth Matthew 22 37 Jesus replied love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and it's not just
about getting that promotion buying a new house getting married to the man of your dreams these things are good I'm not saying you shouldn't desire them or ask for them but beyond that ask God for victories that have eternal value Colossians 3 2 set your mind on things above not on Earthly things in fact the Word of God tells us to seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto us so wealth and career and family all these things are good and we should by all means ask God to
bless us with them but let's first seek God learn his word seek his opinion let's first pray for those who are lost to be saved from their sins let's trust God to Deliver Us from addictions and ungodly behavior let's cry out to God to use us to build his church Truth is once you focus on God's agenda all these other things will follow you and will no longer be impossible to you you won't step all over your workmates to get that promotion because your first desire will be to lead others to Christ and then second
you'll have the Assurance from God's word that victory is yours you'll know that your future is set and you're already Victorious because the maker of heaven and Earth is in charge of your life the word of God Declares you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you Philippians 4 13 listen to me don't get caught up in the struggles of this life your Victory is guaranteed and you have to learn to reject fear to reject failure to reject perceptions and look to God for everything that concerns your life the Bible tells us in second
Corinthians 10 verse 5 casting down arguments in every High thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God bringing Every thought into captivity to The Obedience of Christ bring every thought to captivity your mind your thoughts will determine whether you live in peace or turmoil Victory or failure your mind will determine whether you're focused on the things above or get stuck in the Troubles of this life your mind will determine whether you obey Christ or believe the devil and surrender to defeat God is so amazing that even for those areas in our lives Where we
are weak he has already made a plan for it so stop second guessing yourself because you have this or that weakness God has a covered child of God he will show us in his strength and cover you don't make excuses that only help the devil defeat you like David go and slay those giants knowing that God is with you knowing that his grace is sufficient for you second Corinthians 12 9 but he said to Me my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness therefore I will boast all the more
gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power May rest on me you think your age is weakness but the truth is your age is not a limitation for God you think your background scares God but he can use anything and anyone for his glory the truth is your qualifications have nothing to do with it it's all about God And his promises he is watching over his word to perform it Jeremiah 1 12. God's favor can catapult you to places that it has taken others years to accomplish you may have sinned and felt like the Lord
will not help you listen ask God for forgiveness accept his forgiveness change your ways and move on you have to arise and realize that your father does not hold grudges he doesn't hold your sin against you you may feel like your situation is so depressing and you will Never get out of that sorrow and heartache but friend you will arise again you will smile again and you will live a full life how do I know this because the Bible tells me so and you'll have to believe it to receive it and what does God say
in his word Psalm 30 verse 5 for his anger lasts only for a moment but his favor lasts a lifetime weeping may stay for the night but rejoicing comes in the morning he Says in Mark 9 23 Jesus says to him if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes the Lord has written a love letter to us that reassures us that we can do it we can make it we can overcome we can be healed even if the doctor's report says otherwise we can get that job even if we're up against
more qualified people we can overcome that drug addiction we can say no to that sin that so easily entangles us we can because God has said that we can Friends God has already said it all we have to do now is believe it and remember faith without action is dead once we believe it we have to act on it so to see his power at work in our lives and it's not just for you to enjoy but it's for others to see and give God the glory it's for others to see and find Hope for
their situations it's for others to see and show them how to enjoy the promises of God do you know that life in itself is a Journey and just like any other trip you get to take there are the highs and the lows that make up the experience of your trip have you ever been caught in a situation where your life literally feels like a loop a situation where you are stuck with a person a decision or a relationship that clearly takes away your peace many times we become too close to something or someone that we
Begin to live on the notion that without that person situation or thing we cannot exist some of us are so scared of what our immediate life will be like without that thing or person it literally begins to feel like your life depends on them and if you ever try to Branch out on your own by letting those things go you will not make it Beyond even your first day Some of us have clung to experiences and how people treated them in the past and that hurt and Trauma have become the very basis of our daily
lifestyle the pains the agonies and the sorrows have become the only experiences that fuel our motivation every life decision you have made has been informed by and through your pain and past experiences you have held on to those experiences and as much as they have served you greatly in guiding and guarding your Life God is telling you today that it is time to let go and move on that in itself becomes a two-edged responsibility for you because you have to first bring yourself to the point of letting go take yourself to the junction of moving
on now let us consider what the Bible says about letting go in the Book of Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 1. there is a time for everything And a season for every activity under the heavens a time to be born and a time to die a time to plant and a time to uproot A Time to Kill and a time to heal a time to tear down time to build listen to me child of God everything apart from God reaches a point of usefulness in your life or in some aspects of your life many of us
will argue that our spouse Falls into the same category but life and time have taught us that everything even our spouses have a limit to which their usefulness in life can reach because just like every man they too must die someday in verse 3 of The Passage we just read the Bible says A Time to Kill and a time to heal a time to tear down and a time to build you have built up so many things in your life that have become fences around you You have used those things and people and their memories
to create around yourself and impregnable defense system that has served your purpose all these years conveniently and you have grown to trust in these defenses but God is here telling you his child that it is time to let go tear them down why do you need to let go life is a continuous Journey I know you are comfortable with yourself and you Might not see reasons to let go and move on but I would love to bring you to the light of your own existence in God life on its own is a journey as we
said earlier from the very first day and when you cry it becomes a journey to the end and everything within becomes your life The Good the Bad and the awesomeness for those of us in God the reason why you need to let go and Move on is because you are on a journey child of God and on this trip you must travel light only the essentials are needed on this trip [Music] Hebrews 12 1 says therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses let us throw off everything that hinders in the
sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the Race marked out for us the scripture puts it in better light for me and you that many people's Destinies and existence on this journey will depend on you and me to lead the way for them the race has been marked out for me and you from life's first cry and even if you choose to let go or not the race is going on anyways the reason why you need to shed those pounds and let them go is because you Are on a journey with
God and on this journey with God you must travel light puts unnecessary pressure on you on a trip and delays your progress because you always have to be mindful of that baggage astronauts on the way to the top and Beyond of the earth pack is weightless as they can because the journey to the top requires very little baggages because God is bringing you into fresher Experiences in the book of Isaiah 43 18. God said forget the former things do not dwell on the past and then in the very next verse he goes on to say
see I am doing a new thing now it Springs up do you not perceive it I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the Wasteland there are newer things God is doing in your life that require the space you are past is occupying God is continuously in the business of keeping our experiences with him fresh every morning the psalmist says his love is new every day so the experiences in your future that God is planning to bring you into are going to need all those spaces and time spent nurturing that baggage to
be made available to accommodate the newer better and fresher experiences God is bringing you into So how do you let go and move on since you know that you must let them go and move on how then do you let go and move on the knowledge of what to do is only a small percentage of what is needed how to do it and actually doing it becomes the most important thing after that to let go and move on you must consider doing all these things forgiveness Ephesians 4 31 get rid of all bitterness rage and
anger brawling in slander along with every form of malice and compassionate to one another forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you the first way to forgive yourself yes child of God you must look at your heart and tell yourself you have wronged Yourself by keeping your heart in such Perpetual agony and then you will find peace within Yourself every contention in your heart must be brought under the subjection of self-forgiveness then you can move on to extending that forgiveness and compassion in your heart to others around you stop visiting the graveyard of
your past the book of Philippians 3 verses 13-14 says Brothers I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it But one thing I do forgetting what is behind and Reaching Forward to what is ahead I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God's Heavenly call in Jesus Christ for an injury to heal you must stop touching it there is no moving on or letting go when you are always remembering and making examples of the past that is not letting go child of God for you to let go and move On you must
leave the past exactly where it belongs in the cemetery where you buried it in your past a man who is focused on his goal doesn't have time to dwell on his past I say that again in other words child of God for you to move forward with God you must cut ties constantly with your past in a situation where your past and present are in a place of constant Conflict your future is not guaranteed simply put your future with God on this journey of life depends on your ability to leave the past where it is
and exist in the present with God to work your future out make that trade Matthew 11 28 says come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and You will find rest for your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light to move on in life you must make that trade with God the weight you are carrying is too much for the amount of speed you require for the length
of the journey God is taking you you need to trade your heavier burdens with those of Jesus Christ imagine the joy you feel the relief you get when you drop the groceries that You've had to carry up some flight of steps that is the same Covenant and trade that Jesus is Calling You Into [Music] to let go you must trade all those experiences all those hurts all that malice all that anger and disappointments for the peace which Jesus alone can offer you Psalm 55 chapter 22 says cast your burden on the Lord he will support
you God will never let the Righteous be shaken the second part of this process is to move on like I said earlier you do not have any business visiting the graves of the past the devil accuses us of our past my pastor told us in church one day that when the devil accuses you of your past remind him of your future and his own life is all about progress and nobody moves forward Looking Backward Very soon that person will either fall into the ditch or run into a wall because he is looking behind The Way
Forward is forward whether you're moving on from a breakup a setback or a personal loss everyone can use a bit of help when it comes to Healing and even though no one's got this moving thing totally figured out it's always comforting to know that you're not alone The Bible says in Luke 9 verse 62. but Jesus said to him no one having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God once again child of God the way forward in God is forward in God when you have traded your
burdens for those of God remember not to carry any of those burdens anymore many times you might get tempted into longing for it there might be times that it might seem Like those things you left are better than what you are currently going through but just like God assured us he has a plan for us which is not of any evil but to give you your expected end the question for another day will be what is the end you are expecting there are three important seasons in every person's life the seed or sowing season The
Waiting season and the Harvest season these Seasons come in Cycles different aspects of your life such that your life reflects your current stage The Waiting season is usually the most hated for many of us because it's the most challenging during the waiting season many things are tested we are pushed we get impatient both with our seeds and with God too sometimes you may even wonder why the Harvest isn't coming dear friend God has a word for you today stop doubting his timing he's never late your harvest season will come soon your waiting season will soon
be over it may seem like if you don't get something fast things are about to get out of hand hold on and stand your ground in your faith don't give up on God his timing is always perfect He's the creator of Time how can he miss it the words seasons and time were first mentioned in the first chapter of the Bible this in itself should give us an idea of how significant they are to God Genesis 1 14. then God said let there be lights in the firmament of the Heavens to divide the day from
night and let them be for signs and seasons And for days and years you see each season has its own purpose and its length if you look again at the seasons of the Earth where we live within the year you'll find out that they influence how people live and do things seasons affect the climate lifestyle business economy and many other things around us there are specific Seasons to plant certain crops when you miss this season You have to wait until the next cycle to come before you can plan again when you fail to plan at
that time you won't have anything to harvest during the harvest season there are also Seasons when certain businesses Thrive why because certain Commodities and services are more in demand during that time of year these are indications that time and Seasons control Our Lives and the Bible tells us that God sent Them to do just that the reason I'm drawing your attention to this is simple would anyone draw such an order in his blueprints without a plan of action for each season now I'm not talking about the earthlier physical Seasons but of the spiritual seasons the
seasons of Our Lives just as I pointed out at the beginning of this video our lives are ultimately The results of the current seasons in the spirit and of what we're doing or not doing at that time one day God was speaking with the father of Faith Abraham reassuring him of his commitment to him and all of that then Abraham went to open up to God about his fears he told God how although God said he'd bless him he fears that even when the blessings come there would be no child to inherit it he didn't
feel a child would be part of The blessing and I can tell you why he was bothered that God kept talking about blessing him making him a generation but never mentioning anything about his childlessness even though he trusted God it felt like God was not interested in that aspect and he just couldn't hold it in he let it out and told God you keep talking about how you're blessing me but you haven't given me a child for all these Blessings when I die my servant is the only one who would inherit my property you see
God understood that Abraham was human just the way he understands that you are human too he didn't get mad at Abraham because he understood that Abraham was being honest about his feelings not that he was about to turn from God or insult him but to share as a friend how much he needed that area of his life fixed My friend just like Abraham God wants you to be honest about your feelings with him I know that this can be abused but still the fact that people abuse something doesn't mean it no longer exists drugs are
abused but doesn't invalidate that people still get well when they use them you might need a fake and unprofessional medical person this doesn't mean all doctors are going to be that way So I'm speaking to you if even though you love God genuinely you don't seem to understand why certain things are taking too long to happen you've held your frustration too long and it's eating you from the inside out well look at Father Abraham and learn from him talk to God about it in all honesty not in frustration or anger or even in resignation but
in faith because you believe he can do something about it this was the approach Abraham used and I'll tell you why it was important when you use Faith to express your pains before God you'll remain open for what he speaks or gives you as an answer when you use anger frustration and resignation to express your concerns you might not have the patience or sensitivity to hear anything God's gonna say after that you may end up storming out just as his response is coming but hear what God told Abraham after he shared his Concerns with him
Genesis 15 4-7 then the word of the Lord came to him this man will not be your Heir but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir he took him outside and said look up at the sky and count the Stars if indeed you can count them then he said to him so shall your Offspring be Abraham believed the Lord and He credited it to him as righteousness He also said to him I am the Lord who brought you out of UR of the Chaldeans to give you this land to
take possession of it just as I said earlier because of Abraham's Faith he could receive God's response in his prayers if he depred in doubt or negative frustrations he would have been Hasty just complaining and storming out in that attitude never produces anything good from it Let us learn from Abraham dear friend God was already aware of what Abraham needed in order for the things he promised him to happen for example he couldn't be the father of many nations if he died without a child he couldn't have a generation if his name died with him
and so God had a plan and a time for everything he told Abraham of course Abraham hadn't learned it at this time so he was worried but after God spoke to him his faith was empowered and he would go on to believe God to the last minute Romans 4 18-22 tells us against all hope Abraham and hope believed and so became the father of many nations just as it had been said to him so shall your Offspring be without weakening in his faith he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead since
he was about a hundred years old and that Sarah's womb was also dead Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God being fully persuaded that God had the power to do what he promised this is why it was credited to him as righteousness Sarah on the other hand was not having any of these dealings and so she began to get frustrated and impatient about the fact that she was getting too old to have a baby This frustration would lead to the
birth of Ishmael by the servant girl Hagar and rocked the Peace of the family for some time the childishmail is the product or example of impatience with God when you begin to doubt God's timing you begin to lose patience with him dear friend don't miss this message if you're in your waiting season what are you waiting for if God promised you believe him it will Come just like Seasons never fail your season will finally come you have sown your seeds and now you're waiting and it seems Harvest will never come sometimes it gives you a
sign like it's about to come and then it disappears again fear not your time will come sometimes you may see people in their Harvest seasons and begin to think your Own season has passed Don't Panic don't doubt everyone has their own season you don't have the same Destiny you are different just like winter your season will come remind yourself of the God you've believed he has a track record of keeping his word he never fails never has and never will someone once said God does not only speak because he wants to inform you he speaks
because he wants to perform what He's talking about statement confirms what God himself said in Isaiah 55 10-11 as the rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the Earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from my mouth it will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the Purpose for which I sent it has God said something to you lately or for some time
now don't doubt it he told you so you could have something to hold on to not so you could do it it's not in your power to work it but in his you have one job and that's to cooperate with them stay on your toes be on the lookout for When he sends you signs be ready to move when he says to move and be ready to stand when he says to stand that's your job just like Abraham I encourage you to study the life of father Abraham see how he made sure he kept his
eyes and ears peeled all the time he was always on for when God would say something to him he knew that God has no limit in performing We're the ones with the limit in experiencing therefore through faith he was always on to pick God's instructions and at the right time his Miracle came he held the child of Promise Isaac I pray for you may you receive renewed strength to believe God all the way to the end mayor Newfound Faith replace every doubt and fear and may it trigger active engagement in prayers and Praises as you
Wait to hold your own Miracles too in Jesus name I pray amen [Music]
