  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Years ago, I went to a prayer meeting at a little Methodist church on the outskirts of Atlanta. While there, I asked people to pray for me, that I would know what was God’s will as far as whether I would marry or not. (I had already made peace with God and knew I would be happy, whether married or single, as long as Jesus was with me.) At the prayer meeting, a woman prophesied this to me: “You must sing your song to Jesus and only to Jesus. And if it is His will that you be married, then He will send a woman to you who is singing her song to Jesus and only to Jesus. And if she is the one for you, your two songs will harmonize perfectly and uniquely — and you will be united in Him and not just in yourselves.”


Recently, my wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary. Our marriage has been infused with the joy and glory of God, and has, in some ways, seemed like a month rather than 25 years. And when I look in her beautiful, green eyes, I know that Jesus is her ultimate Lord and Lover — and I am filled with unmeasurable peace and unspeakable joy — because I know that she is the ONE God has chosen for me.

Such a beautiful story that every christian would like to live.

9 years ago (I wasn't a christian yet), I also praid God to find my mate, he granted me very soon, but to my despair, we aren't married yet although we are deeply in love.
Becaude my mum asks me to chose between him or her, and the whole family who support her.
Why because she refuses me to marry outside the race.
I've been desperatingly praying God, but nothing changed her mind, so we're now in a long-distance relationship and still madly in love, and I'm afraid it might not be God's Will to marry him.
I feel so sad.

Another way to find your soul mate is just to dial random numbers when someone answers say "Want to get married?". LOL :p

I kept up relationships that lasted awhile. Problem is I preferred to believe they were meant to be and ignored the millions of warning signs. Especially the ones from God.

So with my current fiance before we even engaged we prayed and fasted for awhile to make sure God even wanted us together. Now that we know the answer we do not worry about the marriage date and leave it up to God. So far things have worked out wonderfully with no problems at all.

How did you realize they were warning signs from God?
I mean, even before she knows my BF; my mum threatened me to cut herself off from me, if I ever bring him home for a talk. It's impossible for me to take her views into acount, as she doesn't know him a all, except his skin color.

And how are you sure God now wants you together with your current fiance?
Can you give me an example?

How did you realize they were warning signs from God?
Well I can't explain it. Its like everything that could go wrong did. Since she lived a state away every time we tried to get together something would happened. Giant snow storm, construction...etc. One time we were going to get together I was going to call her to make sure all things were ok... well our phone lines went out for a day. lol. Only time I seen her(or vica versa) was when I was really sick or basically when I should have been resting at home. Of course some say literal signs aren't from God. I don't know if thats true or not but it sure like short of the earth cracking in two between us that God was saying "Road Blocked, go elsewhere!".

Then there are other signs. Anyone from friends, family to even strangers said they felt I wasn't suppose to be with her. I did not find a single person who though we should be together. My dad seems to have some sort of gift. He just knows instantly if someone is meant for me or not. With the last three girls I was with he told me they weren't it and that <insert thing would happen> such as one would cheat and leave me. And surely enough the on did. They all left!

Then there are warning signs that come from yourself. Like if you start questioning things about the person. For me it was "Should I be concerned shes a pot addict?", "How do I feel about her flirting with other guys?", "Is it ok that shes into Indian Spiritualism?". I had a ton of gut feels and voices telling me I should avoid her. But being blinded by love I ignored every sign. Even when I caught her cheating the first time I ignored it really.

The Holy Spirit will make you feel something either way. Ir certainly did for me. Examples about this further down.

I mean, even before she knows my BF; my mum threatened me to cut herself off from me, if I ever bring him home for a talk. It's impossible for me to take her views into acount, as she doesn't know him a all, except his skin color.
Well I can't honestly say if your moms right or not since I don't know her. Sometimes parents are right and sometimes they just purposely want you to split because they think you should be with someone that they would pick for you. I'd ask her if she feels theres something wrong about him and if so what is it?

And how are you sure God now wants you together with your current fiance?
Can you give me an example?
Well in this case take everything I said and reverse it. Theres not a single person thats felt off about her. My parents love her. I have no questions in my head about her. Even when praying and fasting God told me she was the one, it wasn't a literal voice though. Its kind of hard to explain. This may make it more confusing but its like knowing something, even if you don't know something. lol. Its why I brought up the Holy Spirit. It guides you so to speak.

Aside from all that theres been nothing blocking us from being together. I am in a long distance relationship and all the things that would have to come together for us to meet would normally be REALLY hard since I am disabled and she currently is out of world. And yet its been non-stop miracles.

Example I need about $7,000 to fly there, get married (mothers going to), pay fees...etc. Well I don't have much left a month after my government assistance. Normally to save $7000 would take me about 3-4 years. And yet as soon as I prayed about God giving me provision if I am meant to be with her, money started rolling in. In only 10 months I pretty much have $7,000! Its beyond a miracle and I know its from God.

One thing that I can sort of explain is if you have ever had a relationships before and you thought they were the one even though they weren't. You know what that feels like. Well when you meet the one that is for you its 1000x better then that feeling of thinking they are one because you literally know they are the one.

Its why its hard to describe the feeling really. It just makes you realize that what you felt for other women was not "shes the one" love. It was something else. My fiance is better then anyone I could dream of or that I though I would ever get. God knew who I needed better then I did! Hopefully some of this helps you! Your in my prayers.
