    I need your advice

    I need my brothers and sisters in Christ to offer me some biblical advice...
    I've been praying for some time for God to send me a woman who loved the Lord as much as I do. Who, without any doubt, was filled with the Spirit.
    Don't get me wrong, I obey the Lord and do a pretty good job of not dwelling on the fact that I'm single and sometimes feel lonely. My relationship with Christ sustains me.
    I recently met the most amazing Lady. We started off as friends, sharing scriptures and helping each other during the not so swell times. After a couple of weeks, it was clear that I had feelings for her and she had feelings for me.
    I've taken her to the movies and we hang-out together. I'm always praying that if our feelings towards each other are misguided and not of the Spirit that He would convict me of them. That I know without a shadow of doubt that she is not the one God has made for me, you know, the old fashion fleece test.
    So far I've not felt any conviction associated with me not having a relationship with her. She makes me feel incredible and I love praying with her.
    What do I do? I'm so afraid of displeasing my Lord! How do I know if this is the "one"? How should I proceed if she is?
    Please, any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

    for His Glory,
    David

    Well if she is such a good friend then why don't you tell her how you are feeling after all she won't judge you and may be in the same situation.
    If this is the case then pray together and ask the Lord and if it turns out that you are the ones chosen for each other than consider yourself blessed by the Lord!!!

    Good luck

    Everything sounds good, just continue letting God guide this relationship. His timing is always perfect, I've heard of prayer partners getting married.

    Enjoy the courtship, if she's for you she's not going anywhere. Enjoy the friendship let it grow, I'm not sure how long exactly you've been talking but, timing is everything.

    Be the best friend and prayer partner right now, putting God first so he'll do the rest.

    Relationships are not a cure for loneliness. You can be lonely in a crowded room full of people who care for you. Human relationships do not fix broken people. What you lack is a sense of purpose; you don't know what you're here for.

    Though I was married with a couple of kids, I didn't know what I was here for until I came to Christ and had spent several years developing as a believer; learning to listen to His voice. As my pastor says, "There's a God shaped hole in all of us and only God can fill it."

    Juz 1 2 share a passage wit u, it strikes me when i read ya passage cuz me myself personally faced the same situation earlier this year, and by readin tis passage i felf comfort... Acts 5:33-39

    33When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. 34But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35Then he addressed them: "Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."

    If it's God's will tat u 2 belongs to each other, no matter wat happen, He will also unite u both 2gether.. like me and my ex, i felt tat there's a prompting in my heart from God tat he's not the suitable 1 4 me, yet i juz ignore Him and continue in the relationship. Sumhow before anything can worsen, He manage to break off the relationship, true my parent's help... hence, i felt tat God is trying to protect us from harm.. therefore, pray more and He will show if the person is ya soulmate or not..

    will continue to pray 4 u.. God blessed...

    My dear brother, just continue to let the Holy Spirit guide your steps. God does not make mistakes like we do. If you truly follow the Spirit, He will guide you to where you need to be. Blessings and peace unto you.

    Standing in the name of JESUS

    Hello my name is Suprina and I'm single. I was reading your request for advice. I will keep this real with you with GOD's love and only that is intended and pray that I do not offend you in no such way its not at all my intention, but I want you to be aware that we know we serve an awesome GOD. This we agree. We also know that we have an adversary who seeks to not only destroy us ,but take our focus off of GOD who we know has plans for us. Let me share this with you from my own life experience. I believe you will be blessed and remember this: Be sober minded, be vigilant, be prayerful, be watchful ,however you want to except it this is all the word of God. I was married in 2004 to a man who I dated for awhile and oh my did he seem like he was the one. I loved him because he loved GOD as much as I ,so it appeared. How many of us know that devil got a trap for us? You see I never asked GOD to show me, me so with that I never knew me when I was in front, you know the me before I was saved.You see the devil doesnt do nothing that is new its always something we went through to get to GOD our past play a big key to our future and how to defeat satan at his game. The devil had a trap for me and GOD had a plan and I'm a grateful sister in knowing that GOD will never leave you nor forsake you. This man was in the word, he prayed with me, we even waited to have sex after marriage. I just knew I found my equally yoked mate. See this is something we forget because we are excited for that someone special to love as and love GOD as we do. Everything was fine before we got married. He was supportive of me going in the ministry wow I said I got a good man. It was a set up and I was so heart broken. After I got married this man was no longer the same. He wanted me to change my church so of course he's my husband so I followed thinking he was making right decision for us both. Then jealousy and rage appeared out of know where to make a long story short he hit me and that was the end of that marriage. 90 days in the marriage and 2 times that physical and alot of emotional abuse I didn't stick around to work it out. GOD showed me so many ways he warned me. I was in love. In love with what I thought was the spirit of GOD. Remember this test the spirits according to the word of GOD ask GOD to show you your weakness. I promise you that when your able to see your weaknesses my GOD my GOD you will learn to be armed with the armour of GOD. You will see some of the most amazing moves of GOD. Anyway I learned that if we do what the word says " Seek ye the kingdom of GOD first and when you do that you can't lose. I pray this little testimony will show you to be aware know I love you and may God bless you.
