Do you really "want" a man of God in your life..? Here is wisdom explained!

Are you "seeking" a man of God? Many women claim they are; but is this really scriptural?
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD." [Isaiah 55:8]
I hear people all the time, who claim they "know God", make statements such as they "want", or "they do not want". The fact remains that the Lord does not care what men want or do not want; He is interested only in His will being done. The ways of the Lord are so mysterious, yet so interconnected, that Solomon wrote, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven."
Everything in life is arranged to function in dichotomies. The Lord, as the Creator, designed it this way to teach men. Example: Without being able to grasp that proportion which is known as "UP", man would not be able to comprehend that which is known as "DOWN". Without comprehending that proportion which is known as "EAST" man would not be able to comprehend that which is known as "WEST". And the same goes for "NORTH" and "SOUTH", "IN" and "OUT", "RIGHT" and "LEFT", "BEHIND" and "BEFORE", "DARK" and "LIGHT", "ABOVE" and "BELOW", "GOOD" and "EVIL", RIGHTEOUSNESS" and "UNRIGHTEOUSNESS", et cetera.
Most on here are claiming to be seeking love. The only problem is, it may not be time for love in their lives. It may be time for something else.
"And it is written in the prophets, and they shall all be taught of God, therefore everyone which hath heard and learned of the Father cometh to me". [Jesus: John 6:45]
This is one of the mysteries of life. Jeremiah explained the mysterious operations of the Lord this way:
"O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself, it is not in man that walketh to direct his own steps."
So, the next time you think a thought, just remember, that the Lord's thoughts are not are your's. In fact, they are more than likely the exact opposite.
This is why Solomon wrote:
"To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
To seek His will, is to know that He is Sovereignly operating all things together in unison. Some men hate the Father's will. They seek to manipulate the will of man to get what they want. The will of man has two parts, "what a man wants" and "what a man does not want". The act of manipulating another, or the dark art of manipulating another, is called "dialectics".
Dialectics involves manipulating the appearance of good and evil, while the Father has other plans. This is why Jesus told men, "pray not your will be done", for it is never done; only the Will of God, or that which He pleases, is done.
This is the mystery of wars, controversies, strife and contention, and arguments. Men always seeking what they want, as opposed to what the Lord wants.

I beg to differ. God DOES care what we want - He just knows best! Israel wanted a king to reign over them despite God being in command. He gave them one but warned they would regret it!
You can't say God doesn't care what you want and then in the same breath claim that God loves you, etc. Nature doesn't care what you want, rocks don't care pretty much for anything, even people may not care what you want, but the same God who said "Which of you, if your son asks you for a load of bread, will give him a stone?" most definitely does!
Does God give me everything I want? Of course not! But I know HE knows better than I whether I should have it or not, and just as importantly, when.

Amen. It also " Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." 1 Corinthians 7:2 (KJV)
In one place it tells us to remain as we are and then we have 1 Corinthians 7:2 (KJV) which says the opposite.
It's about rightly dividing the word.
The word also says 1 Corinthians 7:9 (KJV)
"But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn." (speaks about burning with lust)

"Does God give me everything I want? Of course not! But I know HE knows better than I whether I should have it or not, and just as importantly, when. "
Your words just proved my point. If you had a baby that always cried when you put him down, because he knew the dialectical cords by which to control you, you might smile within yourself, whenever you heard that fake cry, and not be moved by it. You would not "worry about it [aka lament]", or "suffer of the mind", which is the basis of the word "care", for you would know that he first of all is not to control you, secondly, that he needs rest.
So, my point is proven, and I thank you.
It is not a prudent thing to say that He "cares", for wisdom says that whether you understand it, or even agree with His dealing with men, He is in complete control.
You care, but He doesn't. This is what makes you [the creature] and He [the Creator and Sustainer of All Things] perfectly suited, for we are universally and unceasingly dependent upon Him, while He as"the Fount of All", is our Benevolent Benefactor.

"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
This is talking about the desires of the Lord which are shared with a mature child; as the child matures, as is classically demonstrated through Peter who went from running at the thought of Jesus' impending death, to one where Peter embraced the will of God which was placed within a new heart ad died the very same death, but upsidedown.
It is not talking about your lusting on one another, and trying to name it and claim it..
The prosperity spoken of in the scripture, I know is not popular with the false Christianity gang with their flesh hanging out, earrings, tattoes, piercings, and materialism at every corner, and oh, let's not forget "having FUN", and "being HOT".
False Christianity is easy to detect, they want everything associated with the world; their's is a fleshly gospel. Satan's seed has through the centuries taken the scripture and reshaped it through obfuscation and chicanery to mean a new thing today. This is why we now have over 32,000 denominations with 11 primary versions of the Bible, and dozens more which are not popularly received. The scripture is almost indistinguishable from the original Greek text which were first written.
There is one sure-fire way to determine if you are believing in the real gospel..
Is it popular, carnal, always presented as a gospel of having fun, partying, riding motorcycles, materialism, and selfishness; yes, it has to be one where you can have, as was presented to me here, everything you want, after all it does say, "He will grant you the desires of your heart", doesn't it? Uh, do you think that maybe He was referring to "a RENEWED HEART"..?
