Personal testimony
Posted : 2 Feb, 2015 11:49 AM
I guess i'm not the only one that's why I would like to share this so that we avoid falling in Satan's trap.
Be careful about the signs. We must have read about how we recognize God's will:
�The Bible
�Advices from godly people
�Dreams
�Preacher
�Peace from within
But the truth is that while reading the bible we can twist it and make it say what we wanna hear.
Advice from people- people know what we want and they want it too so they tend to encourage you when they see a single man or woman that matches your age but it's not always God's will.
Concerning our dreams- sometimes when we meet someone, we think about that person a lot and we have dreams about them. It's not a sign that he's or she's the one.
Finally peace from within, we have all read about how the heart can be deceitful. So don't follow your heart or gut as many say. Follow God.
Why am i saying that is because i lived it. If i count, may be five guys were the one. I have read in the bible, had dreams, pastors told me it was him but it was not true. About dreams many times God showed me that it was not them but many times it was just me thinking it was. To really know we must wait.
The worst part of it is that you really want someone so when you consider all the positive part of it(sometimes avoiding deliberately the negative) you built a castle without even realizing it and when you find out it's not that, you feel broken into pieces. You are depressed, you cry, and many times you may be angry against yourself and God. You doubt, you mumur, you hit anything that's in front of you and finally you don't want to pray. You're mad at God.
That is exactly Satan's plan. He wants to draw you away from God. He wants you to think that it's all because of him. But it's not true. He makes you think that God is indifferent. But no, if you wait He will give you the very best. But for that we must surrender totally, He will choose the person, in His time, how He wants. We have to close our eyes and let Him lead. Fill your life with Him not with dreams and fantasy. We must be satisfied with Him not with man.
My advice to you is even if you want someone very badly, WAIT. Wait on God. Don't fall in Satan's trap. God is above all. Is the desire of having someone above the desire of being with God? Isn't God enough for you?
Don't listen to anyone and talk only with God in prayer silently. Because if you talk to everyone and it's not that you feel humiliated. If you want talk to only one person. Don't put your heart and your mind in it. Ask God to fill your heart with love for Him. Finally He will tell you miraculously and you will know what is His will. How(practically)? This person won't be on your path anymore. Depend on God not on man.
I've been down so many times that's when i realized how much God's love was so high for me. A love i don't deserve and as time goes by i'm happy because i know He's closer and He satisfies me. Even if it hurts more than i can bear sometimes, i see His glory and i'm the happiest person on earth. The suffering won't last eternally. If we remain faithful, He will come soon and we will be with Him. Think about it, we suffer while single but married person suffer too. God is the strong tower.
Don't let Satan draw you away from God. Don't let love draw you away from God.
I have some practical advices i would like to share with you. Maybe next time.
