Transcript: Biblical Ways to Find Your Life Partner | John Giftah's Relationship Advice

practically how to know who is the one that you're going to get married to. Starting off with the first one, when God gives you a specific instruction. Bible says in Proverbs 3, 6, you know, acknowledge God in all your ways and He will direct your step. If God has not given you a specific instruction, the second most important way to know it is free choice. If you read in Numbers 36, 6 and 1 Corinthians 7, 39, it says that you have the right to choose whom you think is best only in the Lord. And thirdly, is like a combo pack of a specific instruction and a free choice. If you see in the book of Osea, God told Osea to go and marry a prostitute. See, there was a specific instruction involved when God told him, I want you to marry only a prostitute. But there was a free choice involved where he had a choice on which prostitute to marry. So sometimes God will give you some details, but within that instruction, he gives you the free choice to choose whom you think is best. The next way to know, the scripture says in Colossians 3.15, let peace be your empire. You know, in other words, God will give you a peace to let you know that you are making the right decision. And another important thing when you are making decisions about choosing a life pattern, don't make decisions based on what you see now. Because your feelings the way a person looks and external can all change every other minute I want you to understand you not just marrying the person for who they are right now you getting connected or hooked up with an entirely new family you got to see okay there is these kind of people in their house i got to live with them for the rest of my life will i be able to manage i want you to think about all these practical things so the next and foremost thing that you need to look at is you know whatever decisions you make this is going to be for your lifetime so you've got to be ready to go through the consequence of it so pray about it and ask god for wisdom and ask the counsel of godly spirit led people and when you do that there will be some point of time when you got to make a choice once you decide and you realize okay everything matched i asked for sign it happened i asked for peace and there's peace and i really know this is the best person for me if that is the case then take a chance and ask out so if you get a yes then you know that was of the lord because you prayed about it you know god makes no mistakes and if it is a no then you could probably be sure okay i did my part now if it is not of god you know i'd get to know it through this person's response but if it is of god even if that person says a no now would definitely come back to me at certain point of time so I want you to depend on God and God will bring the right person across the path
