So good! I literally just learned to surrender my life to God. I’m not even worried about it anymore. I believe God will do it when it’s time and that goes for everything in my life-not just marriage.
Amen! Surrender is such a huge key in our walks with Jesus. It can be a hard lesson to learn. Good on you for learning to trust Him with every part of your life and waiting paitiently on His timing :)
That is why I listen to prayers I find out things from friends. That can be why you haven't gotten there yet. Don't idoluze
I watch KZhead daily and I never comment but I had to on this video! Your transparency on sharing how you’ve idolized this promise from God spoke to my soul! Thank you also for sharing your advice on going to God before fasting for marriages based on the words of prophets. I’ve been there and I wish that I would have heard this before I sacrificed so much energy fasting and praying and doing all the “things”. People only share the highlights of their wait but you’ve added words to some of the frustrations I’ve faced on my journey and I just can’t thank you enough! Praying for you and all that God allows you to do!🙏🏾
I laughed sooooo much listening to this as it was a reflection of my experience with God in this waiting period 😂😂😂. God still sits on the throne and in His time, He will make it happen!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
God bless good morning, Lindsey, your sharing strengthen me to wait on God.. I am 34 year old lady , never married before or dated a man before.. several Christian and non Christians guys were interested in me or marrying me but my I rejected there request because my heart were not at peace with anyone of them. Every time they request, I took to the Lord through prayers and God shows me sign .. since 2020 May I surrender my love life to God waiting on God , deleted social media account.. And I believe God will bring my promise husband, and other desires of my heart am trusting and waiting on God..♥️🙏🤝
Hi Roselyn, thankyou for your comment. Keep trusting God and allow Him to grow you. I pray that you will recieve all the blessings that God has for you :)
Thank you Lindsey for sharing your testimony. It truly blessed me. I have been focusing my time and attention on my Kingdom spouse and marriage. I find myself being frustrated because it hasn't happened for me yet. I am continuing to put my trust in God and focus my attention on Him. He knows the purpose and plans for my life. I have to give God full control to write my love story. I hope to hear about your kingdom Marriage one day when God blesses you with your kingdom spouse. Thank you again for letting God use you.
Hi TaNetra, I'm so happy to hear that my story has helped you! I'd love to hear your story one day too :) Blessings to you as you live fully in the life that God has for you :)
Thank you so much for sharing this testemony! I'm in the same situation, by the way I just unfollowed the man I was kind of idolizing either. Your point is absolutely correct, we have to put all of our trust in God, putting all of our wishes in having more of Him, seeking His kingdom, love and wisdom! It is hard to calm down our worries, particularly women, we subconsciously and socially have so many fears. But... His perfect love throw away all fear, worries and anxieties of ours. You're in my prayers, sis. He is faithful ♡
You're welcome! I'm so glad my story could bless you 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing!! 💛 I needed this 😩🙏🏽🥲 God bless you!!
I'm glad to be able to help. Blessings!
AMEEEEN to EVERYTHING you said! This video is full of truth and encouragement for anyone who is willing to listen! Hold to your faith sister! I understand the struggle you are dealing with. I have experienced something similar. I won’t won’t elaborate because I want to keep my situation between God and I for now. But I agree that if God said it to you, then it WILL happen. God is always FAITHFUL! We can trust him to do what he says. Only you know what you’ve heard and experienced. I have learned through my own situation that we can’t lean on advice from church leaders, family or friends etc. because they didn’t hear what God said to us. So they aren’t going to have the revelation, that you personally have had. That’s why it’s for you. Hold to your faith and don’t give up! He will bring to pass his promises , even if it seems impossible. Jesus said… with man it’s impossible. But with God all things are possible. Thank you for this beautiful video ! I’ll be praying for you!! 😊🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️✨✨
I've been down that road with all those prophetic videos. A content creator actually formed a video to one of my comments. He prophesied that God would compensate me for what I was going through in 2023. I didn't ask this guy to make a video just for me. The fact that he did that made me believe that God spoke through him. Nothing happened in 2023 so it was a lie. Now every time a prophetic video pops up, I get rid of it. It's like playing wack-a-mole.
Your story is literally a mirror 🪞 image of mine .. awaiting the promise and have finally got in that space to just rest. Thank you 🙏🏻 and God bless
You got this!
Bless you, this was soo spot on. Thank you for sharing and God bless
You're welcome. God bless you as you continue waiting in Him
Thanks for sharing. This has been my season of waiting on the learn for my helpmate and I to come together or back together. The Lord brought me to the place where I fall back and watch him work. Hes working in me and I trust in her as well. I definitely know the roller coaster feeling and the enemy trying to lie or make you feel like you haven't heard right. He really comes at me with the constraint of time since half my life was spent in substance abuse and I feel wasted but the Lord will continue to use it for Good and can redeem time whenever he wants. My marriage is going to be amazing in the Love of God. Thank you Jesus
Praise God that He has redeemed you. Contine to put all your trust in Him. :)
Nicely said! I thank you for sharing!! A lot of us have gone through this! GOD Bless!
Thank you! You too!
Wow! 🔥🗣 Thank you Sis for your testimony! A transparent and candid truth! I really needed this message!! May God bless you abundantly! 💖🙏🏽
Thankyou! I'm glad you found it helpful :) Blessings to you as you continue to wait on Jesus and walk with Him on this journey
This was exactly what I needed to hear! Praise the Lord. Peace was felt in my body from hearing this!
I'm so glad :)
Really glad you touched upon discernment for this topic. Many heart can break over wishful thinking. Turning them to God gives us more of than confirmation, a guidance to follow with protection of our hearts in Christ💕
Wow!!! So encouraging. And such a confirmation for me. Thank you for sharing 😊
I'm glad! You're welcome! 😊
Thank you so much for being so open on honest. I am exactly where you are in life currently. Giving it all to God for his glory is what matters most.
You're welcome! I'm glad you were able to connect with my story. God bless you!
I needed this! Thank you so much!
This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for your obedience and for posting this testimony 🙏🏼🌻 God bless you sis.
I'm so glad! You're welcome! Blessings to you, also :)
Thank you for sharing your testimony. I experienced a story similar to yours. God bless you Lindsey 🙂
Your testimony is what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing. God bless you 💗💗
Glad it was helpful! God bless you too!
I appreciate your transparency. It’s a reminder for me, my singleness is about me and God. And I’m going to do my best to solely focus on that instead of who I believe is my person. Thank you! 🙏🏽
Yes! Our most important relationship in life is with our heavenly Father ✨️
Thank you so much! This is what I needed. Your read my mail 😭😢. We need more honesty. I have a podcast that the Lord placed on me and I speak the same way...we can't or shouldn't hide what we feel or what we're going through this has been a blessing and a fresh air to my spirit. Sometimes we feel so alone in this promise because no one really believes it with you because the time it has been taking. You have gave me so much encouragement with your truth and honesty. God bless you and your ministry.
I was reading about Noah recently. He had no-one to share in the burden of building the ark for 120 years and only received ridicule during that time. He had a promise from God and a part to play. Often we see prophets in the Bible having to go through a period of crrying their promise/warning/message from God with no other human to agree or give comfort. But that doesn't make it any less true. God's grace and presence is sufficient for you.
wow thank you for this message Lindsey.. I will share this with my 2 young sons
Story of my life! Thank you for your story❤
You are so welcome!
Was just talking to God about this subject. Felt it in my spirit. And you confirmed it for me. So precious
Thats great! Keep talking with Him - its the best thing that any of us can do :)
Thank you for sharing while in the wait! It’s refreshing to relate.
I'm glad it could be a blessing to you 🙏 ✨️ 😌
This is so real. Thank you for sharing sister in Christ.🙏🏾✝️🤍
You are so welcome. God bless you :)
Thank you for sharing, sometimes I think am the only one. Hearing that gave me reassurance. So many negative thought cross my mind like time is flying by and am wasting my chance, it’s definitely a battlefield. I always remind myself “God’s refusals are mercies, severe mercies at times but mercies all the same.”
You're definitely not the only one! I'm glad this channel could encourage you 😊
Wow. This is so familiar to what I’ve been going through. Thank you for sharing 💜
You are so welcome, Jaquelyn :)
This was such a blessing! Thank you
I'm so glad it was helpful!
This is such a good story didn’t know what to expect when I listened you drop many gems I can relate to. I had to start letting go and begin to live my life as well. Struggles do come in short moments but they past. Living in the reality that I’m a single woman until I’m not, I believe marriage is my portion and I don’t want to miss out on life waiting. I appreciated your honesty here. It’s so needed not denying how you feel but standing on the truth of the God we serve. God bless you sister 💕🙌🏾
Thankyou, Britt! God Bless you as you live your life and serve Him while you wait
Thank you Linsey. Very sage and Godly information.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Super vulnerable video ❤ it's literally a superpower to be able to say these things and i just couldn't
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing this, I'm going through ryt now and yesterday I just said to God takeover, I don't want to do anything myself, I'm definitely gonna save this for in future if the enemy try to attack my faith again, thank you ❤😊😊
I'm so glad this blessed you 🙏
Thank you for the sharing... It's exactly what I am experiencing... This really encourage me. Be blessed
Oh I'm glad :)
So good! This is not a false prophecy, lol, this is a fact. God is moving with the kingdom marriages right now. Lets not feed into ''feel good'' messages lets be Matthew 6:33 women, however lets not sleep like the 5 foolish virgins too. I too waited for almost 3 years now and In the beginning of Aug I was r.e.a.d.y to drop this entire insane promise...but God said no babe, now is the time. 😄
I love it! Yes! Keep holding on!
Thank you for sharing. I felt like you were talking on my behalf. God bless you. Keep sharing.
You're welcome! Its so nice to know that we're not alone in this experience, isn't it?
Beautiful!
Thank you 😊
Thats why the word of God says The just walk by faith NOT by sight ......so in the flesh all these things doesnt make sense but un the spirit God is working and it will happen in His perfect timing
Wow! This is soooo good🥺❤️
I'm glad you liked it. May God bless you as you wait on Him.
Yes. You are definitely not alone in this. God has shown me that I’m not alone and that there are many people with similar scars. Thank you for sharing. I have definitely been obsessing over this......like. It’s a problem!!😂😂 I need to fix my focus back on my relationship with God!
Thankyou for sharing :) Yes, there are lots of people struggling with this. But its important to remember that if God hasn't brought your kingdom spouse to you yet, that there is a very good reason that you're just not aware of. Ask God what TO focus on and be obedient to the call He has on your life right now. Your husband will come - but now is the time for you to prepare your character and serve God without distraction.
Good word Sis. Thank you for your honesty.
Thankyou :) God bless you :)
This is the story of my life....the person the Lord has been showing just moved to Canada and he is still in a relationship. I was just thinking of blocking him when I saw your video. Thanks a lot this is encouraging 😊
@@LindseyBirch so true dear.... let's keep our focus on what matters at this very moment, when is time they come running back to their right places
Your heart is so beautiful sister and your faith is inspiring. From the moment I heard the name of my Kingdom Spouse it was over four years before we were brought together in a romantic way. We just had our one year anniversary of coming into agreement together with God on our relationship. It has been a beautiful year. We live in different countries and have decided to wait another year to see each other. For me that is because the courtship is so beautiful. It is a Song of Solomon's walk in the garden. I'm 46 and have had two serious relationships. Married for over 20 years in one and both were rushed beginnings. I missed moments to savour and now I can see just how much. It is a joy to share this with my Kingdom Husband. The expectation building is worth the gripping emotions. It adds to the beauty of the courtship. When I heard his name spoken to me for the first time by a friend something happened inside of me. I can't even explain it but let's call it an alarm to pay attention. It also gave me the feeling of that is the most wonderful name I have ever heard. His name is unique. We had to go through storms together with Christian friends turning on us and doing some enemy motivated moves. It was so painful. Still is. But it brought us together closer. We are both unique in certain ways that make us perfectly suited We also perfectly match each other in enthusiasm for Jesus and ministry. That's dialled up to intense. Too intense for most around us. I just want to encourage everyone to look at the person who matches your ministry and will support you in that. God wpuld give you nothing less in the right person. Much love and prayers. Eternal marriages are your promise planned by God.
Thankyou for sharing! Blessings to you 🙏
This is me!!! OMG Yesterday I was asking if I should step back. Thank you!
I'm glad this could help you. God Bless you :)
I am in the same situation as well, the LORD is strength...Love you girl!
Amen, the Lord is our strength! I pray that you are continually encouraged on your journey and that you draw nearer to Jesus each day :)
@@LindseyBirchAmen, you too
Really just need to cut the distractions and focus on God and your purpose and calling in Gods will. He will not let us be confused if we keep our Eyes on Him 🙏🏻🙌❤️
Amen! Say it louder!
I resonate with this soooooooooooooo much !! Thanks Lindsey :)
So glad! You're welcome!
encouraging and correcting
I know The Wait is Worth it! But I am so longing for my King 👑. I praise God for turning him back to me soon and KNOW by the spirit it will be forever this time! Prayers appreciated!
Jesus is your King. If its anyone else, then thats idolatry. If God has a man for you to marry, its important to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus before and during the marriage, keeping Him at the centre of your life :)
Wonderful word, sister💕 God bless you. Standing in faith with you. Help us stay rooted in You above all, Abba!
Thankyou! Blessings to you and I pray that you continue to stay rooted in Christ and look to Him as the source of your hope :)
Your video I was the first one I watched last night and l liked your messag e and true alot of people say God told th this and but I believe God is the Author of our love story and sometimes we don't know how God speaks to people and there story just have to focus on God and he will do the rest
YOU'RE SO HONEST. GOD HAS GIVEN YOU LOT OF WISDOM. I KNOW WHO MY HUSBAND TOO. ITS A JOURNEY. LISTEN TO GOD. YOU HEAR HIM. PAMELA IN DETROIT USA
Thankyou, Blessings to you as you continue to wait on God :)
That's really not easy to wait for 4 years and didn't see the answer yet. I have a similar situation and have been waiting for 4 month by now and I already had a lot of doupts, questions, tears,cause nothing is changing. Really admire you sister🌹
The best piece of advice I've received is, "wait and trust in God, and not on the man." As it turns out, the man I was waiting for married someone else and I am at peace with that. And now I am in a relationship with a good man who makes the effort to pursue me. I pray the same happens for you 🙏 💛
GOD'S DIVINE TIMING IS PERFECT AND ALWAYS ON TIME! FOCUS ON GOD AND HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE! GOD BLESS! 🙏🙏🙏
Amen!
I've been waiting for about 4 years but we have grown crazy close and he is my bestest friend ever it is great
Oh wow, 4 years is a long time! I pray that God continues to guide you with His peace :)
I am going through that same thing in every way. She just blocked me on social media and isn't speaking to me at all. Hanging on from a logical position feels nuts. But I also know God orchestrated the relationship and now the break for both of our good. I still have work to do in order to be capable of providing properly. My life was wiped out and recovering financially and in my relationship with God is my priority. God would have to do a miracle in her too. Big time. It is hard to move forward in a healthy way and still harbor love and desire for something that in the natural has no evidence. Letting it go and not obsessing and focusing on God is the answer!
similar thing happenned to me 5 days ago but I fasted prayed, spiritual warfare, played on youtube any kind of prayers against witchcraft and curses, rebuked what I could and today we met in a grocery shop, we forgave each other, we had loong conversation and he unblocked me. Devil will do anything to divide, but we are overcomers in Christ
God bless you
Love you Lindsey!
Love you too!
Wow. very honest, relevant, relatable, and practical message for young people. Thank you very much for sharing it!
Glad it was helpful!
I had a para professional named Lindsey she really helped me
I agree! I had been focusing so much on a promise than on the promise giver! I had to stop myself from listening to those videos
Wise move! I'm glad to hear that you've taken that step :)
God bless you so much for sharing this. It’s exactly what I needed to hear. Honoring the season of singleness because I’ll never have this sacred time with Him like I do now. 😭❤️❤️
That's a really positive way to look at it
Proud of you, friend. :)
Thank you, friend :)
Nice video, any update?
Hello! Check out the pinned comment above for a more recent update. There will be more to come 😊 ✨️
Helped a lot.
When you're around the one. Should you feel Calm, Comfortable, and at peace? What should you feel in your spirit? I'm a guy btw, but this applies to both men and women.
To be honest, I don't think there is an explicity Biblical way to answer this question. I don't think there is a 'should'. I think we naturally feel things, like nervousness, or peace, or excitement, or disgust, as natural responses to our environment. But I don't think our feelings define reality. God's Word defines reality. Our feeling are just our bodies telling our brains whether or not we feel safe in the current environment. However, there is a distinct spiritual peace or lack of peace that comes from the Holy Spirit. If you think God has told you directly that a particular person is 'the one' but you don't feel calm around them, but instead feel nervous or aggitated, then that may be one of 2 things: you might just being feeling overly self-conscious and therefore not yourself around that person and to some degree unsafe. Or, you might be totally cool or charismatic, and it might be a supernatural lack of peace indicating that this is not the right path for you. You will know the difference by mainting a close relationship with Jesus in daily prayer and Bible reading. Only He can answer this question for you satisfactorily. Appologies for taking a while to reply - I hope it has been helpful :) Let me know if there is anything you'd like further clarity on :)
This sounds exactly like what ive been through!
I am feeling same things.
This is sooo me 😅🙈 waiting 1/5 year, god told me in the beginning that i should make a cut from sozial media, I also have trouble to 'live my life'
Ahaha, it can be a struggle, hey :) Blessings as you continue to wait on Jesus :)
grain of salt on visions and what people tell you, bcause some project, others imagine, and some deceive. So be wise and keep fine tuning your spiritual ears to God's will and oportunities.
Hi, Any types of food and drink to be avoided during the process of nofap and semen retention ? Also, are there any physical, mental or emotional damages to people who don't make sex during their entire lives ? Hope to have your advice. thanks
Hello, I'm not sure if you'd still like an answer to this question, but I'll share what I can. Firstly, God created sex to be an expression of love and intimacy between husband and wife. It is meant to be done in a spirit or attitude of service and other-centeredness for the spouse, not to satisfy your own desires, primarily. As far as I'm aware, there is no research to show that those who remain virgins experience any direct negative effects. In fact, choosing to remain a virgin as well as choosing to avoid masturbation takes moral and mental strength. So it is beneficial, rather than damaging, to remain sexually pure. Also, research shows that masturbation and excessive sexual experiences can weaken the physical body and the brain. Brain scans have shown the degenerative effects on pornography uses. Pornography use and masturbation can also make sex less enjoyable as your neural pathways are trained to respond to a different type of stimulus. I hope this information is helpful. Blessings to you 🙏
11:26 The most hated concept in Christianity today is the truth about appointed times. If you dare say you're waiting for God's appointed time, just be ready for what people will do and say to advise you. Nobody can twist God's arm to act outside of his schedule and those that try it should ask the fig tree that Jesus caught in the act... At the appointed time there are certain fruits that God has programmed you to bear. Simulating the outlook of fruitfulness when you're not ready will lead to a curse... In Genesis God only blessed the trees that brought forth after their own kind and had their seed in them AKA when He saw that it was good... We might be able to attract everyone with out pius outlook but God is the only true umpire, supervisor and rewarder...
Slash seemed better for you
Thank you
You're welcome
OMG!!! THIS IS ME 100% I CAN'T EVEN HEAR GOD SPEAKING NOW. IT'S BEEN 2 1/2 YEARS UP DOWN OFF ON.
Oh Connie, I'm sorry to hear that's been your experience. I know how hard it can be! I pray that you submit all to Jesus and fix your eyes on Him. I truly hope your relationship with God improves. I encourage you to read Exodus 20:3 in relation to your current experience. May God bless you as you grow closer to Him.
What I’m learning so far is God need to hide you, before he pair you together with your future husband. I’ve been dreaming about mine for a month and a couple of weeks now. God is full of surprise’s lol let me tell you that.
GM.....wow......Pamela in Detroit USA....
Wow! Your story sounds like mine
I'm glad you were able see you're not alone :) Keep trusting in God! He will never fail you.
Good word
Thankyou! God Bless you :)
hello can you please pray for me? God bless you. dolores
Sure!
Something similar happened to me. Turns out I understood wrong. I was ready to move…. Because I heard the Lord was sending me. Until someone I didn’t know Called it out and that deception broke off me. Praying for you sis! We should coni it focused on the Lord and that’s it
Thanks for this video sis!! Thanks for your transparency! Many of us can relate
You're welcome. I'm glad that you're continuing to grow in Christ and experience the freedom He brings :)
I am in the same situation.... 😥
Same here
I know its tough, but put your faith in Jesus and stay close to Him. You can't go wrong doing that :) Blessings :)
@@LindseyBirch thanks dear...
Ooh! An Aussie channel!
Hey! Yes! I watched some of your videos about a year ago and I remember that you're from tazzie! I'd love to catch up with you sometime :)
@@LindseyBirch I do free 1:1’s, grab a spot, it’s linked in the details below my videos. A catch up would be great!
I say this with love and you already touched on it, but your focus should be on the promise giver and not the “gift.” That said, it’s clear that the man that you think is the “gift” is not interested in you. That is what the pastor was trying to tell you without hurting your feelings. If you have already been in touch with the man and he has NOT actively pursued you, he is not interested. God does not “force” a man to have interest. He can move hearts according to His will, but humans do have free will generally. Have you prayed about the purpose of you knowing the man is your future husband and him not receiving the same revelation? Have you discerned the spirits giving you revelation? It could be distraction from the enemy. It sounds like it is not from God. Even the friend who prophesied, has she been right in the past? Why form an emotional attachment to a man that never pursued you? That is not biblical or Godly. In the Bible, God never arranged a marriage where both spouses knew one another, but it took 2 years, 3 years for the manto pursue. Jacob took 10 years, but that was 10 years of “pursuit” after Rachel. He was not deciding for 10 years whether or not to pursue her. His proximity to her and consistent persistence for 10 years gave her PEACE. This man is not pursuing you. Please slow down and sit with that. You are wasting your youth and passing up eligible Christian men. What does this man have in his purpose that aligns with your purpose? Please get sound and godly advise and measure everything according to the Word. Also, stop telling everyone about it, because that gives the enemy a foothold to sow additional seeds of confusion. I would also work in beautifying myself if I were you. You have beautify curly hair. Get a stylist, so that the hair style comes out more and has volume and soft curls, instead of falling flat and wet. Try a hair diffuser after washing to dry and fluff up your curls. Add color to your face, even natural makeup and eye liner. Shape your eyebrows. Try some delicate jewelry like earrings or a necklace or go for gold/silver large hoop earrings when you wear your hair in an updo. Look like you are eligible and available, not hiding waiting for a man to come find you. Christian men are still “men” and they are visual. Your appearance will tell them whether or not you are embracing your femininity and ready to be pursued. I was a tomboy, so I know. Finally, get into activities, groups and clubs that are of interest. That is where you can meet eligible men going in the same direction and with the same interest as you. Please, please don’t waste your youth waiting for a man that is not interested. That would be very unnecessary and sad. Seeking a spouse past 30 as a Christian and virgin woman is a nightmare that I would not wish on anyone. Try to find someone while you are young.
How I figured most these channels were false, they kept forcing a old relationship to rekindle. Why would I keep obsessing over a prodigal, knowing if such was God ordained than certain boundaries wouldn’t be crossed but everyone and their mothers claim I’ll receive a phone call of some sort. #dweebs
Obsessing does seem eerily similar to idolatry. I'm glad to hear that you see through that tactic of the enemy and choose to stay away from it.
