Is it wrong to pray for a specific person to be your future mate and expect something to happen? Especially if they are dating someone else at the time, not married, just dating. Could it just be a timing issue and a need to wait, or should I just let it go and move on. :huh:

that question depends on, Are you strong with God enough if he says no? Submit yourself to God, he will lead the way for the rest. don't pray that you be with a person, bu tpray that if it's in Gods will he would reveal if you should be with that person.

No it's not wrong to pray that a specific person comes into your life. We can ask God anything. But we must ask Him according to His will. If it's His will it will happen, if not move on.

I had this in my daily study today:

whenever we pray, we are to pray in accordance with God's will. In other words "God, do what You want". it's not easy to pray this way. It's hard sometimes to pray "Your will be done", when we know that is God has His way, we will not always get our way. Jesus knew, as we now do, that if we are to become effective in prayer (not self-centered), then we must face up to the question: whose will comes first - mine or God's? I must be willing to say : "God, do what You wnat." That is the bottom line in prayer.

Sorry I couldn't quote who wrote it, for I don't know.

The prayer at the end was:

"Gracious Father, I am grateful for the gentle and loving way You are putting Your finger on the obstacles in my life. Give me the attitude that puts Your will first and my will second. "

:rolleyes:

I think if that person is in a relationship then they might be praying that the marry the person that they are with. just be careful what you pray for. You could be expecting that person to be one way and end up with them and they be totally different. And another thing if that person is for you then God will make it possible, just consult God and he'll direct your path.

I think if I were single again, instead of praying for a specific person to be my mate; I'd pray for God to send me the one, He wanted me to have. :laugh:

And having been through it all more than once, I think I would ask the Lord for grace to remain as I was.

In your case Mutzrien, I'm glad that you are able to do this; but if you read the scriputures you will also note that it says; " Not everyone is able to recieve this"; in another scripture it says; " it is better to marry than to burn".

But that doesn't mean marry just anyone.

Why would you covet another mans woman?

So much better to simply trust in the heart of God. He truly loves you and plans for you the best. So often our own desires keep us from receiving that which God would have us to have. Loosing is a marvelous wonderful way to live. Just give over to God and trust in Him. And indeed we are to beware of all covetousness..........nothing but trouble along that line.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
