aniontedbachelor View Profile History	Do i need to date 20 people to find the "one"? Posted : 20 Dec, 2009 05:43 PM According to Proverbs 3:6 " Acknowledge Him in all your ways- NOT in some of your ways, BUT in all of your ways. Now either I believe that or I dont.I know we dont know everything from A- to -Z thats why we as believers have the Helper on our side. Gods is always talking but are we always listening ? To Hanna-61 ; very interesting point about the person for who they really are; I like that Post Reply

Posted : 20 Dec, 2009 05:56 PM To my Sister in the Lord ( Nyanda) is it " vague" to say that we are His sheep and we hear His voice and know Him Accor...John 10:4 Just wait until you get in a situation when your back is against the wall, or you have to make a serious decision. Trust me your going to want to hear His voice then* Post Reply

The Holy Spirit will speak to you concerning your wife if you have been seeking him about marriage, beside he is to lead and guide us into all truth. Post Reply

View Profile History	Do i need to date 20 people to find the "one"? Posted : 21 Dec, 2009 08:50 AM alright ppl, lets think. if you believe God IS going to show the person you should marry, why not propose to them as soon as you meet them? i also must ask, how is God going to show you the one. Is God going to give you a vision and tell you to click on their profile pic, and say that's the one? If God is guiding the direction for your life that closely, did God tell you to look for a wife/husband on a dating website? Marriage is to be a blessing and choice. Those who choose to give up that blessing for the sake of the Lord's kingdom, i believe will be rewarded. But it's fine if someone does choose to get married (assuming they stick to God's rules about it) But its still a choice that God has given to us not an obligation or command. I think it is in rare circumstances that God plays match maker and i think it is more common that people are fooling themselves into thinking that the Holy Spirit is showing them the One. Post Reply
View Profile History	Do i need to date 20 people to find the "one"? Posted : 23 Dec, 2009 10:06 AM annointed, do you know what it means to acknowledge someone? God acknowledged us by sending his son; it is written 'in the beginning was the WORD... and the WORD was God' ... 'i am the way the truth and the light' ... the WORD=TRUTH, is it reasonable to conclude that Jesus (the word) was made flesh, and is 'the only way to the father, all other paths are robbery'? This word was made flesh, how? What did Jesus do? he executed judgment, he was fair, he loved, he healed the sick, think about it. the word was made flesh...how did that happen? did you see Jesus looking to 'hear' God's voice with his natural ears? NO! he understood and DID the WORD=TRUTH. he is the way to God because he lights the paths of TRUTH, execution of the WORD. Jesus prayed a lot, spent time in God's presence, never once did i see Jesus turn and say ...God what do i do now? He used the tools he had, which were prayer, and his understanding of the WORD. and when he was in Gethsemedy he asked for God's will to be done even though he was going through turmoil, when he was on the cross he did not call for God to rescue him, when he was tempted of the devil to throw himself off the cliff, and to bow down and worship him he overcame by KNOWLEDGE + UNDERSTANDING of the WORD...he said "it is written thou shalt not tempt the LORD thy GOD", "it is written thou shalt worship the Lord thy God ONLY". did he stop and say God what do i do? i am not saying to you not to ask God for help, but i am encouraging you to truly follow the example of Jesus Christ! I have been in situations where, if i told you to, you would agree that God should have come off of his thrown and 'save' me. but instead i learned to understand scripture and apply it in my life. I have been in the situation where the Holy Spirit spoke to me, YES literally spoke to me...two simple words "Nyanda, don't"...and i wasn't asking for any help, i was not in a situation where i thought i needed it. my point is this, God does not do things because you think he should, he his sovereign and acts out of love according to his will. furypheonix when to lengths to show you how specific the accounts of God telling someone who they were to marry applied....i do not feel like i can expand anymore. we acknowledge God by acknowledging truth aka his acknowledgment of us aka Jesus Christ aka the way aka the example ....it's reciprocal...'no other foundation can be laid than that that has already been laid' Nyanda Post Reply

Let's say a Carpenter (good choice) arrives at a job site and forgot to bring his hammer and saw and all the other Tools he uses to do his job? Will he get any work done? No...of course not. Now...while God does not guide us like puppets, God will use Grace as a way to Nudge us....as a way to Gently "steer" us in a certain direction and sometimes God will use Grace to lterally "kick" us in the bu** to get our attention! It is what people call "LOve at First SiGHt!". If you are in God's Favor...in good standing with God and He is pleased with you (or not...it's up to God)....God will give you an Infusion of Grace..just at the moment that you meet that person. This Grace could be an emotional heightening...or increased compassion...or sensitivity...or IMproved Eyesight! Whatever it takes to ring your BeLL....HELLO! And God will continue to use Grace at the right moments to further "nudge" you along. Now is there just the "one" person.....no I don't think so. There may be "levels" of complementation, but I believe that God has made more than one person that will complement us and it is up to us to find them and hope that we are in a state of Grace when we do. So is meeting twenty people enough? I say as many as it takes, but most likely you'll have a good idea before even going out on that first "Date". OK...POP Quiz Friday! I want your essays on "Why my little brother smells" on my desk by Monday! Peace God proves good to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It's a good thing to quietly Hope, quietly Hope for help from God. Lamentations 3: 25-26 Post Reply

Posted : 31 Dec, 2009 06:52 AM I think that God can use each relationship you are in to better prepare you for the one He has for you. I don't think every dating relationship should be for the purpose of marriage, but rather for the edification of each other by practicing biblical masculinity and feminity. Most of the time, this can happen under the guise of friendship. Now, I don't mean that we should just date around. I don't date guys I couldn't see myself marrying down the road, but I don't want to put that pressure on the relationship either. The main issue with dating a lot of people is being careful to build each other up and not just break hearts. That's my two cents. God Bless, Risa Post Reply
