GraceAndKindness View Profile History	Where Do She "Fit"? Posted : 8 Jul, 2012 06:50 AM Some of us believe Christian spouses compliment if not share a ministry/service/purpose together. If you see it that way, what (at least right now..lol) talents/gifts do you see/desire your spouse to have. Would they be the same as yours? Would they be those that you feel you haven�t been given? Would there be gifts/talents that compliment those that you been given? Example: There is brother on a daily Christian Talk show, his wife, who has a passion for health and utilizing the natural resources (Chris/Andrea Fabry). My Parents, �retired� Pastor, they give and pray (in agreement) for others every opportunity they can. So If you have a vision, a desire, a dream, how does your wife fit into it? Post Reply

Athena28 View Profile History	Where Do She "Fit"? Posted : 8 Jul, 2012 12:49 PM What talents and gifts would I desire in my future husband? The more I desire my relationship with God above all else, the more I desire a man who is able to bring me into the kind of relationship with God I desire. I want a man whose gifts and abilities reveal Christ in me more and more. I want a man who will allow me to be a child coming to Jesus in his embrace. I want a man who is able to bring me home. Many men have talents and gifts, but not all men's talents and gifts are being used, guided and directed by God, in which case they are useless. Post Reply

Posted : 8 Jul, 2012 04:52 PM I hear ya Athena28, awesome desires :rocknroll: I tried my best at the words of the questions while thinking of some of your comments. Some of us Men/Women aren't aware we have been given gifts, talents, abilities. There are things that no one else can do the way each of us can, and the abilities come from God, for His purpose. At least that is what I'm taught. When we are able to 'utilize" our gifts, everyone involved is blessed and God is glorified. I've gotten a glimpse of what it's like to live within my purpose, or rather my gifts, I wouldn't mind experiencing as much of that as possilbe with a man who shares (in however that comes) in purpose with me, wth him...l with one another..lol Post Reply
Athena28 View Profile History	Where Do She "Fit"? Posted : 10 Jul, 2012 03:51 AM Grace, You're fortunate to know what your gifts are. As I slowly rediscover who I am in the Lord, for the first time, I'm discovering the gifts God has given me and what they are for. Before we come to know God, we tend to use our gifts to serve ourselves. It is only after we come to know Christ, that we realize our gifts were meant for serving others, and it is in that realization that we discover who God created us to be! Before I knew God, how could I have known what true attraction was? It was impossible. Only now by the grace of God have I been able to experience what is truly attractive in a man and in such a way that my desires are now in alignment with God's will. Praise God for his forgiveness, grace and mercy! Post Reply

View Profile History	Where Do She "Fit"? Posted : 12 Jul, 2012 06:30 AM Cute hair Athena. I am not sure what gifts my wife will have but I know she will have to ballence mine as a prophet. I love to give counsel and I am a guy who gets right to the point about things. This takes people back some times. Since I can see things in people and situations it can scare people off. Much like a lazer scaple but I have been compared to a steam roller or a river barge in my younger days. I too have used my gifts in the past for my own evil purpose especially in my marriage. Once you loose trust it is very difficult to get it back. My wife will be the agent to help people trust what I have to offer in counseling. She will be a agent to tone me down when needed. Much like a buffer. Does anyone know such a gift and have such a gift? She will be a strong woman. Post Reply

Posted : 12 Jul, 2012 05:01 PM Hey Let, I know personally 2 prophets, I can say both their wives are patient, which is fruit, pateint with their husbands, the children and the people that call at 2am. One of the wives is an intercessor, she'd fill in when needed at the alter. The other, I really didn't know as well. They had 10 kids, usually saw her more on weds when her husband taught bible study. She was so funny, and when we talked it seemed there was alway some kind of chaos in the house, floods, leaks, etc, she had a good sense of humor about it, she was soft, very lovely seemingly centered woman.

View Profile History	Where Do She "Fit"? Posted : 13 Jul, 2012 05:31 AM They must be women who are completly open and honest. My wife will be a woman who is not hiding anything or tries to hide. We prophets are all about truth and revealing our selves before God living in complete transparency. Having a mate who will walk together with me in complete transparency, we will know oneness unlike any other. What we prophets are about is oneness with God and oneness in the church. Oneness is the core of who we are and what we do. Oneness is the core of the christian faith. Gods sacrifice is in the reality of individuals seeking true oneness with Him. This is why in scripture Jesus tells those who do only church like work in Jesus name are those who have missed oneness and will be cast out of His presesnce.They look to merrit Gods favor and missed out on the intimate oneness God desires with them. Those who stand before the throne and have dismissed the gift God made for them will not want oneness with God then either and God will thrust them out of His presence where He does not exist and none of Gods attributes are there for them to be one with. They will have eternity being one with their selves and complete darkness. Scary isnt it?? Post Reply
View Profile History	Where Do She "Fit"? Posted : 10 Aug, 2012 04:50 PM I see matrimony as a holy consecration of an eternal covenant to grow in Christ together, strengthening each other, inspiring each other and showing Christ likeness in the fruits of the spirit:love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness. Soul mates in Christ can complement each other or be similar in their spiritual gifts,which are bestowed to be used. Besides, we were all created to do God's will. If our lives do not give him glory, then what is the point of existence? Most people live self destructive , egotistical lives that lead to a lonely road of destruction. Love is about giving our all for his will, just as Christ gave all for us. Our true sustenance come from God. Just some thoughts, IMHO. Post Reply
View Profile History	Where Do She "Fit"? Posted : 10 Aug, 2012 05:20 PM Getting right to the point is so important. There is no point in beating around the bush. It is good that you are clear and concise. We need more believers like that.Time is of the essence. Time is a precious gift from God. He takes us when it is time. Human beings have a surprising ability to deceive themselves and often need a fresh dose of reality, the more straight to the point and cogent and concise, the better. Why waste time, right? I don't want people to be vague with me. I want to know the truth because if I lie to myself, that will only make it harder down the road. "The truth shall set you free." Sin enslaves and truth liberates and heals. That's why I like John McArthur and Ravi Zacharias and apologetics. He uses the "nuclear option"--mind blowing truth--when discussing things:He is an eloquent speaker with a powerful mind that communicates the depth of God's glory and majesty.Most other pastors bore me to tears.
