How to Find a Mate Gods Way on Revelation 6:13 - 3 years ago
Genesis 24: Romance of Isaac and Rachel. How to find a mate Gods way.
Genesis 24:3 Abraham enlisted his eldest Servant (a type LIKENED to Gabriel, when he approached the Virgin Mary).
Abraham made the servant promise to bring Isaac a wife from his kindred. For us, that would mean: BRING A CHRISTIAN, not an unbeliever! Don't fall in love OUT of your faith and expect God to make it work for you. Marriage vows are sacred. Don't plan for a divorce.
The servant worships God 3 times, for giving him confirmations he has found the right mate for Isaac. (12,26,52) She was a Christian, a Virgin, love at first sight. Isaac loved her all the days of his life.
She was given gifts: not her doing all the giving. Propriety was observed.
Male or female, these same principals can be applied in a Christian dating situation. You'll be respected and right in the eyes of God.
Worldliness will turn the whole thing sideways. Don't go into it expecting to lead your mate to Jesus AFTER marriage. The door is wide open for Satan to enter in and make all those plans, implode.
How can two walk together unless they be in agreement? Dating a Carnal Christian is just as hazardous as dating an unbeliever.
Pray and ask God for confirmations (Not Signs). Satan is in charge of 'lying signs and wonders'.
So read Genesis 24. Remember how King David's life was complicated by taking another mans wife, getting her pregnant and the having her husband killed in battle.
If we include God in our search, there's no way it's going to fail. I love the way the servant prays details, from large to smallest. Happy camel watering.
