      Smart, godly women absolutely look at a man's past. That will be her future. Equally yoked means similar backgrounds and similar sexual status too. so, a virgin marrying a virgin, etc, etc. a man who's had only one or two partners with a woman the same, etc. Sorry men !!! Men often think they can get away with more. Equally yoked means equally yoked. Especially with sexual history.

    The thing is my sexual past is not great so whoever I date and one day marry will need to understand that I have had past verbal and emotional abuse from men(my dad/my mom at times and ex bfs) , past sexual sin, past trauma/grief, past mental health issues and I’ve worked very hard to over come them through therapy, support groups and repentance and getting to know God. I am a different person through Christ, of course I have my bad days but I’m not who I used to be, I’m a very strong christian, kind of like a Paul, David and Job story. Hopefully the right guy will see the pain and suffering I’ve endured in my past and love and respect me despite that. Well one can hope:(

      I'm a woman and I wouldn't want to date a man who had been around the block. I'm extremely concerned about a man's past because it can be indicative of character. Future is important too though. Our callings must align because since I would be his helpmate, I don't want me helping him to completely pull me away from my calling (I'm a missionary so I would never marry a man who didn't have a desire to serve in that way at all.)

    @isaltinadiogo5787 Před 2 lety +48

    Women were called to the position of helpers, while men to the position of providers (leadership). The truth is that most christian women especially those who had understood the spiritual demands of God for their lives and marriage, are willing to fully submit to their husbands. The problem lies on the fact that most christian man out there haven't understood their spiritual calling in marriage. And they input a heavy burden on their wives, constantly reminding them their need for submission. That becomes spiritual oppression. It's wonderful to have a wife that fits into all these traits and carries such qualities, however men should not diminish their roll while ignoring that they have another human being closer to them who has feelings, wants, needs and desires. The goal here is to figure out together how to cope to each person's demand and work together as ONE! Commitment requires effort from both sides for none is less nor better than the other. But knowing that God is there to help you, mold you and mature you in this walk together, is the greatest satisfaction of all.
    May God bless you all in Jesus name!

    Real woman of the Lord, are not offended by this message. I am a Marine Corps veteran, military police, but I have no problem submitting to my husband as he submits to the Lord. I wasnt raised to think this, but learned this as I grew in the Lord attending women's conferences and hearing teaching. I love being fem, girly, looking to my strong man to protect and represent us. It was not easy to unteach that "I am woman-hear me roar" paradigm, but I love him opening the door, ordering for me, and making the final decison of key things. I feel safe and protected in that arrangement and empowered fully. I love a strong godly man who knows his role and allows me to operate in my role and gift.

  • @charmaynem2255
    @charmaynem2255 Před rokem +26

    I like how the attributes of women described in this video are NOT physical ones. They all have to do with one’s character. The world bombards women and men with physical stereotypes that are supposed to be attractive/desirable at every turn. It can be debilitating, especially if you are dealing with a physical problem. For example, I suffered for years with scalp challenges that caused hair loss. This started happening when I was excited about putting myself out there in Christian circles to meet people-Christian men to be exact. The Enemy capitalized on my pain and used it-and still uses it-to keep me withdrawn from socializing. I really had to be intentional about prayer and Bible study to understand what God’s description is of a Christian woman. I also wanted to know the truth about Christian men. I discovered that for Christians-those who genuinely pursue the heart of God-are not “stuck” on outer appearances, but biblical characteristics. I mean at the end of the day, I can have hair like Repunzel😂, but if I am not biblically agreeable, feminine, affectionate, and selective, Christian men are not going to be interested. Ruth had a godly character and Boaz noticed that before any physical attributes.💯🔥💯🔥💪🏽

    Thank you for this beautiful message and reminder!
    God is a God of order. Submission is letting a man take the lead in matters. I was married for almost 31 years before God called my husband home. Submission was never a dirty word in our house. I never felt lower than my husband because I always knew if he made the wrong choice, God would hold him accountable for it. The secret is just to love one another like Christ loves us.
    If I ever found another godly man to submit to, I would truly be blessed.

    Oh my goodness it's CRAZY how many clarifications are necessary to say what you're saying. I'm 100% grateful because it can be confusing with how many messages there are out there and how different the message is that our culture promotes. In this video it was navigated well but wow! I pray that each woman who watches this really believes she's beautiful and worthy and that there are good men out there and that God is good and has a plan. I pray any misconceptions about feminity and beauty be penetrated by the Holy Spirit of truth. ❤️‍🔥🕊️
    YES men love those things and I feel very strong as a woman even/ESPECIALLY being those things. I'm proving I'm selective at the moment lol 🤭☺️
    Blessings!!

    How agreeable should you really be in a dating relationship?
    Also on the topic of being affectionate I didn't understand why my ex said he didn't feel he was for me because he didn't feel he could make me happy and that just sounded like an excuse to me until now. So this brought some clarity and begun allowing me to process things better. Thank you!

    MARK...THIS IS THE VERY BEST VIDEO I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED ON THIS SUBJECT. I'm so tired of sinful men and it's difficult to find a Godly man that I honestly have stopped looking but I know like a peacock finds his hen, the right person should display the right traits consistently and from the beginning and I wont settle anymore. I'm going to be like the pea hen and be so selective because i deserve it. How do you feel about affection prior to marriage and how much do you feel.a Godly man should expect??? THANK YOU And also what behaviors do you feel label a Worldly and a Godly man?

      I'm a man, and I don't want a woman to pursue me. That's a quick way for her to be rejected and ghosted. I'm a confirmed bachelor, and I deliberately pursued lifelong singleness.

  • @texasgoddess323
    @texasgoddess323 Před 2 lety +5

    Mark, I agree with your points, and you did a great job explaining. Ephesians 5:21 says to “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ”. I am not offended by the word submit, because it is a beautiful thing to have a man worthy of that type of respect! However, I am so over men using 5:22 to prove their point, yet conveniently “overlook” the verse right before it. Why is this? We have been beat over the head with this verse, when the Bible teaches the principle of being submissive to each other. Please respond. Thank you, kindly.

    • @ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger
      @ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger  Před 2 lety +2

      we must not interpret the Bible through one verse rather one verse through the whole of the bible. When you have questions, it's always helpful to look at other Scriptures to help you understand the full context. My understanding is that verse 21 relates to Christians in general (which is why it is often edited into a different section in the ESV) and then verses 22 is about marriage. Throughout the Bible we are told to submit to one another (Like in Philippians 2) but we are also told to submit to our leaders (like in Hebrews 13). So does this mean we leaders should submit to those they follow? My point is, I think there is different context for each of these statements in Ephesians 5:21-22 because it would be contradictory to say husband submit to wives and wives to husbands in 21 but then specifically highlight a husband's leadership and a wife's submission in the next section (Ephesians:5:22-33). The bible emphasizes a wife's submission and husband's sacrifice for the wife rather than co-leadership and co-submission. But as Christians in general, we should all be "submitting" to one another, but that is different than the specific marriage roles
