Hi I have a serious question here that has been seriously bothering me and almost tormenting me for the past couple of days. To make a long story short, I have a guy friend who is a prophet of Yahweh for 16 years now. And for 16years this man has wanted me I believe by the certain things he has said to me over the years.

1.Things like, you seem like you strong one day I'm going to test you out you know, this is a sexual connotation

2. You want a baby come I will give you a baby, and when I told him don't talk to me like that it is disrespectful and I told him that I don't like him in that way AND I never will he got angry and told me don't call him no more if he can't talk to me the way he wants or the way the spirit leads

3. I told him I have a boyfriend and he told me God knows who you should have a baby with and I'm like what do you mean by this? Even if God doesn't want me to have a baby with my boyfriend/fiance, who do you think it is going to be with you? Because I told you I don't like you in that way and I never will I said for several reasons:

Number one, he believes in having more than one wife,
Number 2: He don't believe in marriage he believes like the old testament where once you sleep with the person then thats your wife.
Number 3: He believes God has a wife and alot of things that are in the bible are tainted and has been taken out.
Number 4: We are always arguing.
Number 5: He always believes he's right and never wrong and when I tell him this he says well the holy spirit is never wrong,
Number 6: He always seems to make hidden connotations as if he's being led by the spirit that YAH FORBID I'm for him and I am tired of this now.

The reason why I talked with this man for all these years as a friend and brother is because I don't really have any friends and he was the one to talk to me and counsel me and I got to tell you guys this man really is annointed because mostly everything he says comes to past AND also whenever I am sad I mean all the time whenever I am going through something really traumatic and sad, he knows and he calls me at that very moment each and every time to give me a word from God. He would say you got to praise your way out and shout those demons away. Then they would leave you alone. And I'm sure he right about this because it is backed up in Psalms or something but the other stuff sex and marriage and God having a wife, NO. Oh and another thing he does not believe that we should call the father God he says that is not his name and we are to call him by his Hebrew name Yahweh

In anycase I don't like feeling this way, trapped and tormented by God? Is God a father of confusion? Will God force me to be with this man and say do this for me in obedience to me? Why would God force me to be with a man who I am always arguing with? Why would God force me to be with a man where I don't agree with his beliefs? For the past couple of days I've been begging God to keep him away from me and I've been telling God I don't want him God in Yahshuas name please send him his 3 wives he needs and take his eyes off me please yah

On one hand I am grateful for everything he has done for me but on the other hand I am fed up of this hidden connotations coming out of his mouth regarding us and the disrespectful things he says like testing me out. I don't want to seem ungrateful because he has done alot of things for me also. Please help me to understand this

So again I ask, is God a god of confusion, will he force me to be with this man especially when I have good reason like we argue, have different beliefs, etc..... Will God do this to me for real?

There is such a thing as a false prophet. even if someone gets some things right, that doesn't mean he is a true prophet.

The Old Testament does not teach if you sleep with someone, you are married. If a man took a virgin's virginity, he would be forced to marry her, if her father would let him. Either way, he had to pay the bride price for virgins. If the father did not give his daughter in marriage, they weren't married. Fornicating did not make them married.

One of the Old Testament prophets warned against the people worshipping the so-called 'queen of heaven.'

It sounds like this guy raises enough theological red flags. Don't let anyone prophetically intimidate you into marrying him. If someone prophesies something to you, you are responsible for the decisions you make in response to that prophecy. You aren't free from responsibility before God for your decisions because someone prophesies something to you.

If this is an honest post then know this; that man is dangerous to you because you have asked the question of
is God a god of confusion, will he force me to be with this man

If you have studied the Bible or have a bit of wisdom you will know that God is NOT a god of confusion. To even consider that question is an insult to God. The man in my judgment is a man that has delusions of grandeur. You better run from that man and demand that he stay away from you.

Thank you so much your comment I value the most and it has helped relieve me. May Yah bless you and continue to pray for me. I have stopped taking his calls

Lots of false prophets try to prophesy women into their bed.

Moohammaad prophesied that everyone could have four wives except for him. He could have as many as he wanted. His adopted son's wife liked him. He mentioned this to his adopted son, who divorced his wife, and let Moohammaad marry her. He married a woman whose father had given her to someone else.

Then there is Joseph Smith, who, according to the testimony of various women would secretly marry teenage girls and many married women. There is a lot of testimony from these women that he slept with them.

In modern times, we've heard about men like David Koresh and Warren Jeffs. If someone can convince a group of people that he is a prophet, and to trust him so much that they forsake what God has already revealed about sexual morality, and if he is carnal and full of lust-- you can imagine what he would do with a bunch of women who are totally devoted to him.

Some times temptation comes in different forms even from a man claiming to be a prophet. If God wanted you to marry this man you would not be confused about him because you would want to be with him. God gives you a choice, some people get married some people don't. Unlike some countries in the East in the West most people get to choose who they want to marry and if they want to marry. You have that choice. If this man is making you uncomfortable tell him you don't want to see him anymore and find someone else to confide in.
