I’ve had this stirring in my spirit for the past two weeks over something that was discussed in confidence between me and the man that said he feels God is calling us together as one.
Now, before you all get uptight about me breaking a confidentially clause as counselor this time I felt warranted to seek godly counsel regarding what he and I discussed and also, when it comes to this ‘pastor’ me if I feel I can use whatever personal experiences I have gone through to help someone else I will. Besides, God calls us to help one another and at times that means we as the ‘counselors’ have to go through some things.
Now, I will not use any names or any 360 or other website links, I will just elaborate on what has transpired and what I have been shown.
I’ve been single and celibate for 10 years. I don’t go out and date or even look for men that ‘might’ and I stress ‘might’ be my future husband! I have spoken to God my heart’s desires regarding a forever mate and He has confirmed that He has heard my prayer so I press on and I don’t look back at what might be.
I’ve been on the internet for almost four years and I have met some very awesome people, I’ve also been approached by a few men that claim the old saying ‘God said’ we are to be together or you are my wife’. What I have found out from logical deduction, trying the spirit by the spirit and also much prayer, most times they are not the one!
Now, moving on. This is for all the single ladies out there, this blog is written for us! When you are approached by a man, in the physical realm or on the internet (I have NOTHING against the internet) some GREAT and powerful marriages were conceived here, make sure you counsel with him, a lot.
Do not fear to speak about everything that you need confirmation on and also what you feel the spirit of the Lord has spoken to you about him. Dig deep into the recesses of all his past relationships, if he has former wives, girlfriends or fiancés has he gotten over these former women, inquire what caused the break-ups or divorces. It’s your right to know! Most will say, and I quote, ‘the past is past leave it there’ NO you get the facts especially if this man has children with the former Mrs. Wonderful!
After you have spoken about this then cover what are his expectations of you as a wife. Now ladies do not balk at the normal wifely duties. We all have come to know that the cooking, cleaning, and the other mundane tasks that the women’s libbers have been complaining about for years are within God’s will for us as wives, mothers and homemakers.
Ok, now if this man is just a wonderful and great mighty man of God then you are fine to proceed forward with what ever you need to speak to him about. But what happens if this man is a pastor of a church or possibly owns his own church? Do you feel you should also inquire of him some other more intimate details? Like what’s expected in the ministry of you as his wife, what are to be your duties? Do these duties change from day to day or are they an ongoing set routine that you will be exposed to daily? How does this man react to the members of his congregation? If he has children, how does he believe regarding them? The list is un-ending.
Now, just recently I met such a man. He said he had been pursuing me for three years, admired my ministry, felt my hurts and pains and even wanted me to move to where he is. However, he could not take responsibility for my going in the wrong direction and moving farther away from him. He knew I was out of God’s will but he supported me all the while.
Now, going back to Alabama I can agree with him, I was out of the will of God. However, my family and I were homeless and we were offered a place to stay with a friend so off to the belly of the whale we went! I admitted that he was right about that move, however, I could not agree with his statement that California also fit into the description of ‘out of God’s will’ as well. Allow me to explain.
While you are walking outside of the will of God, His provision will not stop for you, however, His voice will be quiet, your spirit will be dry and if you are like me you will feel as though He has left you. Nothing you do will seem to prosper and even acquiring the necessities will be like having to go through substantial warfare. Remember this is my experience and it may not be the same with everyone.
The move to California was miraculous. To say the least a great and mighty miracle. Right at the last minute full provision and then some. From God and man, all the way here it was like floating like we were not even driving on the roadway but floating. Once we got here, as with every new land, yes we have had some hardships and we have gone through some warfare but still, peace, miracles, God’s provision every step of the way! So I know I am in the right ‘state of mind’ and finally after eight long years the ‘right state’.
Ok, now that we have covered this, lets move on to the more intimate issues that face single, celibate, Godly women of today. Now I am not pointing the finger at anyone I’m just speaking about myself. NO not glorifying myself and some can think what they want it’s just the choice that I made and was right for (me). What is expected in the marriage bed? What are his desires and what does he consider (ok) with God? What I have found from the recent conversation with this wonderful ‘man of God’ is that his marriage bed desires do not line up with God’s Word.
I have a dear friend who is a pastor and after my discussion over the marriage bed issues I felt in my spirit that I had to call him and his wife and counsel with them. I also called my pastor from Louisiana and wanted her input. While over on my friend’s page I found this blog :

After you read this message you might want to check out the Word of God on this very subject! I did not divulge names nor did I betray a trust or gossip I simply stated what was said and in tears I might add.
At this point after confrontation between the two highly anointed men of God I have been made the escape goat and now after years of devotion, love and admiration I am now banished from this man’s life, he desires no further communication nor does he wish to have me in his life as a friend, fellow worker of the Lord or wife. I am a rumor starter, unstable as wife, friend and a Christian. He never knew me and prays and I quote (that Jesus doesn’t).
Now I ask, are these the ramblings of a stable, highly anointed, Apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher or missionary of God? What I have come to understand in this day and age some men do not like to be challenged on what they feel, practice and teach as truth. What we as people who love God and respect Him have to ask ourselves is, does this action bring Him glory? I had to sit back and question that for myself.
I will not submit to a man that wants to incorporate lewd acts into what God calls holy and also have the audacity to say that God approves as long as it is between husband and wife. Ladies there are some things that God does not approve of! All for the sake of marriage they say. I say no way; God will not ask you as wife to allow the devil’s acts and toys into your home or bedroom.
Be aware women of God, many will come with the beautiful words of the spirit what you have to take a step back and do is try that spirit. If that spirit is tried and you get the same results I got run … fast back to the Throne and seek God’s counsel!
If you are like me and waiting for that chosen by God mate, continue fervently and I can promise that God is preparing him even as we speak. Do not fret, just continue to stand firm and know that God has the best for us and all we have to do is be patient. I would rather be single forever and wait on Jesus than to accept the devil’s stand in and be miserable and end up divorced.
In His Love,
By His Spirit,
