1-if you are asking God about starting something that he already told you in his word
2-if you're feeling regret over wasted time in the past
3-if your motives are pure and God has made a path
God bless!
So recently I was reading the Bible and realised God does really provide! I was reading Exodus 24. Here in this scripture Moses goes on Mount Sinai to confirm the covenant. The Lord commanded him to go on the mountain and stay there so that Lord could give him the tablets of stone with the law and commands . So my point is that here the Lord commands and Moses obeys. He goes and stays there on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights.
So I try to read atleast 1 chapter daily, and after reading Exodus 24 , I kept on reading till Exodus 31. Okay so what I'm going to say is weird. But all these chapters in between were so boring to read genuinely. But I still Read it. These were the Lord's commands about the offerings of the tabernacle, the Ark, the Table,the lampstand, the Tabernacle, the Alter of Burnt offerings, the Courtyard, Oil for the Lampstand, the Priestly Garments, the Consecration of the Priests, the Alter of incense and a lot of other stuff.
Did you even read through that line? 😂
I was genuinely getting agitated reading the details about all of these things. But I still did. I asked God what does he want to convey through these passages? Until I reached Exodus 31.
And let me tell you, this blew my mind!!
Here in this chapter, The Lord told Moses that He chose Bezalel and Oholiab. The Lord filled these 2 men with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts, to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship.(Exodus 31:3)
Through this , what I realised is that Moses obeyed what the Lord said. The Lord gave these commands regarding all these things in such detail. Read from Exodus 24 if you want to understand what I'm saying. I'm not kidding. The detailed commands!!! Wow!
The best part is Moses never questioned how all these things are going to suddenly appear and how is he going to follow all these detailed commands, how he probably doesn't have the ability or skills to do any of these. This man simply was listening to God . He knew he was there with The Almighty God , the same God who got them out of Egypt. He knew that what the Lord has commanded will happen. He had faith in the God who created him.
And woohooo!!! In Exodus 31, God provides! He provided people filled with His Spirit!!!!
So what did I take from these scriptures? The Lord commands us. We need to obey and have faith in Him. He will provide according to His will.
This is the first time I'm commenting about God. I don't really write well. And I'm afraid to make comments like this. What if these words were misinterpreted? I'm a coward. I'm a very weak person and I get scared of a lot of things.Mainly people. I get terrified to talk with people. I get also hurt quite easily. But these days when I read the Bible, I'm filled with peace. I'm strong knowing that the Lord who created me is there with me always. This step of mine to even comment here makes me feel amazing.I can't simply Praise and Worship God in private. A very very small step to interact with people if not face-to-face.
I just want to say anyone who is struggling please read your Bible. His word is the strength you need! And talk to Him! He listens. He's right there with you. Please try talking to him once in Jesus's name. Just once !
This seems like a never- ending rant. But I'll end it here. Jesus loves you! ✨✨✨
God bless!
Another Tip for those feeling as if they wasted time- Think about all you’ve learned and how you’ve grown from what happened during the “wasted time”.. after all it’s not wasted time, because our God uses ALL things for our good (Romans 8:28). Learn, grow and move forward as a wiser individual! God Bless.
God bless
"We can't change the past regrets but we can avoid creating future regrets in future by acting now and avoiding being passive!" Well said, Mark! This was so motivating!
So glad it was helpful!
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord… Jesus, please help me to trust that.
Amen, God is good and able to lead us!
This is confirmation. I am at a crossroads about leaving my current job. I am in a toxic workplace that has caused me mental health issues, and physical ailments. The Lord gave me confirmation not to stay, but I am afraid to leave since those close to me keep saying I should keep the job since it offers security. I cannot take another day of this job and I am attending a webinar for another job that I want to pursue
So glad this was helpful to you!
For days the end of the verse Ephesians 5:15-16 has been glued on my mind. “...because the days are evil.” 😅
There’s someone I am really attracted to but I live in fear that my love isn’t reciprocated. Therefore I keep my feelings to myself. 💔
I pray for him, I pray he finds the Godly woman the Lord has prepared for him. Amongst other things, like his relationship with God, personal life, finances, health, family, etc. But I also pray that if it isn’t meant to be, the Lord remove every feeling I feel for him. ¡pronto! 🥺💔
I was dumped , I was sad beyond words. What i noticed she was uncomfortable around prayer life, ignored devotionals and told she hated me “preaching” talking about God and how good he is! she said she believed in God but I saw no fruits. I’m lost 😞 cause I was really in love. I pray for her and her children!
I truly believe you should start a dating site to bring Christians together.
I would be open to it but wow, it would be a lot of work that I don't have the time right now. God bless!
@Black toddler MEMEsiah Wow, so sorry you went through that, BUT had you gotten married, you would have felt megatons of regret. You realize she is not a believer, and your situation was one of being unequally yoked. As long as there is life, there is always the potential for some new blessing. God's mercies are new each morning. I too like the idea of a Christian dating site, but I also like the idea of connecting single Christians together at events geared towards them. I notice in certain ethnic communities, these kinds of events are held. People network for jobs, business opportunities, buying and selling items, and meeting up with other singles to meet potential mates. I like this concept! Sometimes, though, it seems you meet the best people in the "everyday ordinary circumstances of life".
@@robindear5043 one of the things I noticed is that l can not produce love on my own, i need to love God and ask humbly to have love to give! I tend to become sinful the more time I spend time away from Him! and I too become unpleasant!I really need God at all times!
I know God has a plan for me, but I been single for years and I do believe you decide to truly date when it leads to marriage.
Baby that was his protection
You do it !!!!!! YOU MAKE THE APP
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you, Jesus! Praise God! 😄♥️ And thank you, Mark!
So glad this was helpful! All glory to God!
Praise the Lord! 🕊🙏🏻❤️
Can definitely relate to being too passive in dating. All of my friends are dating or married, and I keep hoping I'll meet a guy in person, but it's been a long time and haven't had luck. Maybe I should try online dating even though I'm nervous about that form of dating. I don't think I should be passive too much longer. Thanks for the video, Mark!
I like your train of thought here :) It makes sense to me
I truly do want to start. Although lately I feel a lot of doors closing and long time friends descending over Religious differences. There's so much division at the moment, so I've been reluctant to share my faith as often as the holy spirit impedes me to. I've noticed a lot of push back and have felt so much rejection. Its hard to be as brave as Paul. ❤💫God give me courage.
2 Timothy 2 is helpful
Yessssss
Get Ted DEKKERS book set THE FORGOTTEN WAY.It'll help! It's excellent!!!!!!
Very wise message, Mr. Mark, for those who truly love God and Christ. The very young and old can and will benefit from your delivery. I hear you. I am not too old, or too big in my skirts to not listen to a younger and wise individual. I am listening and applying, Mr. Mark. Thank you for the message. Remember: Age and youth do not mean a thing, when you're in need of God and Christ. They will meet you wherever you are.
God bless
I'm still waiting and healing I was married to a covert narcissist.
God bless as you seek the Lord's leading and healing
I don’t know if God told me to go for it, but I talked to my crush and gave him my number. Actually, I specifically said “I was just going to ask if you’d want to exchange numbers and talk sometime.” He asked me if I wanted him to give me his first and I told him I didn’t care which way it went. I don’t know if I made the right choice in not getting his first, but…it happened. Now it’s just a waiting game. He asked if I’ll be around next week and I said yeah
At least you tried something! God bless Katie!
Please do pray for me, I want to join the Army, because I feel led to do so....but on the same page my friends and family want me to choose a different field of work. I don't know what to do and only God can lead me now, where He wants me to be.
Please pray for me so that He can provide me with the right career, so that I won't be having any regrets down the line in my life.
God Bless 🙏
God bless as you seek the Lord's will
I prayed about this a few hours ago, BOOM here is a video. The Glory all goes to Him. ❤️❤️✝️
so glad! All glory to God!
I live on a farm, about 4 miles away from the nearest town... I've wanted to do more with my life...my parents...the way they are.. how they treat me..I feel like they never want me to have a life of my own..all my siblings have left and started their own lives..all married... and I'm not even allowed to have a life of my own..
I was putting money aside for a bike so maybe I could get a job in town.. but my parents have basically forbidden me..
My dad said I'm not allowed to get a job until I get my driver's license and a vehicle..
I have no way of doing that.. and the one opportunity I've had recently.. one of his friends was just trying to get rid of a car..or, well, the guys Mom.. she told him we could have the car... but nothing has been done about it.. and I don't get to talk to the person who has it, so I can't even do anything about it..
I'm to the point where I'm about to walk to town to get a job.. but I know I'm going to get scolded if I do..
I keep praying for wisdom, an answer for what to do.. I'm getting close to 30.. I'm tired of having my life dictated by my parents.. I don't know what to do.. I'm so freaking depressed because I feel trapped.. and just wasting my life here..
Thanks for this brother. Been slacking \apathetic on getting another job cause of limited skill set and what I know He wants for my life. Till we do it He'll keep pressuring us to act \move.
Between scripture reading, devotions today, 2 sermons today now you posting this just now... Wow.
God bless as you work hard for the Lord!
Point #2...
THIS!!! Thisssssss!
So glad it was helpful! All glory to God!
Thank you, Jesus! This is such a timely message from you, Mark! Personally, I've been praying for more clarity and guidance for a career change. And, the Lord has replied to me that I'm moving in the right direction. 🤲☺
So glad this was helpful!
Thank you Mark!! This is a very helpful message. I’m looking to the Lord for guidance. God is guiding me and started me on a new career path that makes me feel like I am living my purpose. It isn’t easy all the time but it feels rewarding and there is room for growth. Praise Jesus and May we all follow him🙏. Your videos are a great resource!!
I am also connecting with others from church and people who really make an effort, through the love of Jesus, to live with the word of God as anchor in their lives.
May God bless you and I pray you are doing well. I pray all brothers and sisters in Christ grow stronger in the Word.🙏
Looking forward to your next video!! 🙂

I feel like although the lord has given me knowledge about marriage since I found this Chanel
But in my heart I can't pursue marriage my heart has never been in the right place I grave sinful sex I grave debauchery I can't say with honesty that I want to commit myself in a biblical way but my love for the lord convicts me so I do nothing
I feel like a man of two minds always but if my heart will not pursue love them I won't let my body win either
Prey for me y'all I need to be genuine before I can do work for the lord

For those reading this comment, I am a Christian but I have been struggling with sexual temptation and sin for a long time, today was an eye opening experience for me to realize that I need to stop now and it was confirmed when this video popped up on my feed (amazing how God's timing works). If you do read this, if you can please pray for me that I can change and have peace with God, that would much appreciated. God Bless and thank you!
Thanks Mark, from God to you to me, that’s what happened I felt this and it made me act on My passivity and made a step, thanks again for allowing God to use you
This is exactly what I needed, thank you lord 🙏🏿

So glad it was helpful! All glory to God!
Thank you Mark..I really appreciate this and needed to hear it
You are so welcome!
I think this can apply to things other than marriage. Some of us, myself included, are hoping for a way of serving God and providing for ourselves. I yearn to do something that will help others to improve their walk with God and draw them closer to Jesus Christ. It is not sinful or selfish to want to provide for our own needs and contribute to others out of our blessings. As long as we don't try to "make merchandise" of God's word or His blessings. I am thinking of the moneychangers and sellers of animals for sacrifice within the Temple, and of Simon the magician. They were only thinking of themselves and were not serving God by their actions.
Preach it Mark!!!!!! I needed to hear this! And so many people need it too!!!!
So glad it was helpful!
Thank You God
Asking him about moving
God bless as you seek the Lord's counsel
Thanks for the amazing content again Bless!
God bless!
Great video. I don't think the courtship model proposed by certain people in the 90s and early 2000s were really all that helpful.
Thank you. This video is confirmation for me.
Glad it was helpful!
Amen Halleluyah. GOD BLESS YOU 2 BRO

Thank you for your videos, they're helping me a lot.
I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for me on something.
I was deeply in love with someone 2 years ago, I had a short term friend who used me to get to my crush.
Long story short they're still dating and he just bought a house for them
I have tried to move on from this hurt but can't seem to get over this man.
I still get very uncomfortable if I run into them anywhere, it also doesn't help that they live in the same town as me and the girlfriend is the sister in law of my friend.
If you have any suggestions I greatly appreciate it.
Thank you again for all you do.
God bless you

So if I had a side job that was lethal but made good money for good intentions lets say for the needy & I was real good at it. Would that be ok with GOD?. Just curious?. Nice video by the way. 👍
The details matter. It depends on what you were doing . . . if it was sinful, no, God doesn't want you doing it. Otherwise ask him and use wisdom
God bless you.....thanks for the video
God bless!
ThankS
God bless!
🌈🦋🌻ThankYou
Very Helpful
Thank you!!!
God bless!

What do mean by passive?
Hey, do you offer mentorship/therapy or know of a resource for good therapists/mentors who know Christ?
So sorry, I don't offer therapy and unfortunately I don't have any good referrals at the moment. I would ask your local church for a referall
I pray that who ever sees this comment Jesus loves you and it’s never to late to repent of your sins and turn to him Romans 3:23 and Romans 10:9
John 3:16 :)
Thanks brother Mark. God bless you
