What is in the field of dating our responsibilities and what is God responsibilities?
I read Genesis where Isaac finds his wife.
The church has introduced unbelief into finding wives and husbands. When I was a lost person, I prayed to God for a woman, and within 3 months I had a girlfriend who I met because she was drawn to my house and immediately attracted to me.
God shoved her in my lap. We see this in Genesis, where Isaac does not even leave his home to get a wife but his Father (Heavenly Father in my case) sends his Servants (Angels), to go bring a wife for his Son.
This is the template given. This is faith. But when I became a Christian, the church introduced complexities and rules and unbelief in how I am supposed to get a wife.
What I had been doing was going out dating, going looking for women, and doing online dating. And this was all unbelief in God. I am more than willing to act, but acting is not faith, if it fails to work according to God's word.
To toil to get a wife is unbelief because in the garden, God simply made Adam a wife. He also just gave Isaac a wife. This is what I realized yesterday in prayer. To try and help God along is just unbelief.
However, there is an unbelief of sitting on your butt and doing nothing... but the issue there is even if you become a "go do it person" if you do this enough as I have, you realize that this too is unbelief. There is unbelief of doing, and unbelief of inaction.
True faith is neither, it is just believing scripture and operating in that power without fear or unbelief. And in scripture, men are provided wives by God, with zero effort on their own... until we arrive at Jacob, who represents Israel and the law, and he had to toil for his wives. But Isaac of faith did not have to do this, because he trusted his father. However, Isaac did not do absolutely nothing... no he spent time with God, when he met his wife, he was meditating in God's word... and then his wife appeared to him.
