"I'm Not Getting Married" - Being Content in Christ Alone

[VTwin4Christ]

@dhigable - I would hope that men would run the other way. Lol. But regarding your comments... Women had to be silent in the old ways, not the new. Check out the book Love and Respect by Eggerich... He does a great job of breaking down the scripture in to real world examples.

[niquemouze]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! PREACH! Thank you JESUS!

[sgj002]

This is very sad but true. Our culture has changed a lot. The real men don't exist anymore. They're goofing off and not preparing to have families. Most woman are more spiritual than men. You cant get men to set foot in a church today. I cant tell you how many singles conferences i've gone to where it was 95% female & 5% male and most of the males have a bizillion "female friends" so they're not looking to be in a relationship but to play games.

Hey Simone great video, continue to teach biblical truths. Question what are your thoughts on Titus 2: 3-5? I would like to hear your comments.

Thank You

[VTwin4Christ]

In addition... A warning for women. If you find a man and he doesn't love Christ, he has no clue on how to love you!!!! Remember that man was commanded to LOVE his wife as Christ loved the church. And how did Christ love the church? There is no greater friend than one who gives their life for you. Men without sacrifice for no reward have no clue how to love.... Remember that love is the word Charity in King James. Find a man who sacrifices and has charity.... And one will find love.

[simone56]

@VTwin4Christ I totally agree! God bless you brother and thanks for coming by!

[DHigable]

@VTwin4Christ Good luck with "that" one, because "real" men believe in themselves, not some imaginary being. So, you go right ahead in your delusions, because if a "real" man comes across you, he will run the other way. The bible also says that women should be quiet in the church, but nobody wants to talk about that. Keep on picking and choosing what you want to believe instead of believing the whole book. It shows your ignorance.

[VTwin4Christ]

Both man and woman must love the LORD with ALL their heart and ALL their SOUL before they should even consider taking on a partner to serve the LORD. Remember... Man and Woman become ONE to serve the LORD... And a little bit of (Gal 5:9) leaven can ruin the whole loaf. Stay true to the LORD and ONLY serve HIM! Keep your eyes on the LORD and he shall give you the desires of YOUR heart. Bind those words up and keep them close to your heart! For your heart is the wellspring of life.

Amen Sis! I will share this and pray that some that I have already spoken to may listen to a female vessel of God.

[crazystuff2011]

Simone.. let me say this to our sistas.. i was raised in a community to believe that I HAD to get married as a part of the process of my womanhood.. because of not having the tools that i needed to understand the ramifications of being married, making not so good choices, it ended up in divorce. I now see that my singleness is so very intimate and personal to me in my relationship to Jesus.. I am now in my element! and if and when the time comes for mate I will be ready!

[simone56]

@crazystuff2011 What a wonderful testimony! God can pick up the pieces and mend broken hearts!

[sasilver1]

Can't let life pass you by while you're single. Enjoy the ride.

[Superstarveiw]

True! i always thought id have kids one day, but i never started thinking about it til this year, when my eyes were opened. then i realized we are at the very end, that i probably wont have kids.It sadden me,as woman we all have that desire to have kids, but im content, i just thought id have enough time. but time is running out fast.also there is no marriage in heaven anyway. what more to be content and focused on Jesus. Jesus is our friend.

[royalescorpio]

@Superstarveiw I just had this conversation with my big sister this morning!!!! Neither of us are married or have kids and we want to. So we decided that we would adopt :)

[Pooniepoo]

Thanks! I needed this

[TheDaughtersofChrist]

Some desires will never come to past.

[TheDaughtersofChrist]

This is a video that I really needed to hear. I don't worry about getting married anymore because I realize that's not in GOD'S plan for me.

[ExtremelyClassy]

Great video!!!

[adelat084]

I am about to hear this video, but before doing so I just want to say, I am delighted to know someone around my age thinks that way, I am 27 and I have not had a boyfriend by choice, and my friends get mad at me, tell me I am wrong, that I just have not found love, that I need a mate, it upsets me that my friends sometimes criticize their boyfriend or husband, and to me that is not love, but they say you cant have it all, I just think they are afraid of being alone, I do not think I am defective

[adelat084]

@adelat084 I do not think I am defective or a looser for being single, and my friends say I need to hurry up because I am not getting younger, and I get upset what is the rush, I am exited to hear your video.

[zheahra]

Excellent!!!!!! Your words touch my mind and penetrated my soul. I needed to hear this message. We forget that our focus is to be on God not things or ppl. He knows what best for us. Everything in due time and season.

[simone56]

@zheahra Yep... seek FIRST the kingdom of heaven and His righteousness... all these things shall be added.

[vekl]

Amen, sis. You always provide some very insiteful and powerful words of wisdom. May God bless you.

[simone56]

@vekl Thanks bro, that means a lot. Grace and peace to you and your family.

[royalescorpio]

It's true too and I've noticed that many churches neglect their unmarried parishoners so the unmarried members feel like they only matter if they are married because they are tired of being invisisble within thier church(es). And the Bible never syas that everyone will get married...........

[simone56]

@royalescorpio that is so true! Many churches today see their singles as either invisible, or work horses to pile burdens on with the rationale "oh you don't have anything else to do..." Huh? The bible never eludes to everyone getting married. In these last days, we must be vigilant as the days are evil. I think God is protecting people from many sorrows... or he may be fashioning and shaping that person for you and it will take some time. He wants us to trust in Him.

[EnChristosEime4life]

I REMEMBER THIS ONE. IS THIS A REDUX (haven’t watched it yet)?

[EnChristosEime4life]

This is a hard listen (for me), but it is the truth. I've always wanted to get married, but so far, it has never worked out. The oppertunity has never presented itself to me. It would be nice if it is not the Lord's will for him to just take the desire away to be a wife and mother when I ask him too, but he never does--frustrating, really.

Thanks for posting.

[simone56]

@EnChristosEime4life You KNOW I feel the same frustrations, but I was so tired of being robbed of my peace over these things...

[EnChristosEime4life]

@simone56 I know, I feel ya! Grace and peace, Sis.

[kebbie333]

AMEN!!!

[simone56]

@kebbie333 All glory to Christ!

[graceexplosion]

Good tape.

[simone56]

@graceexplosion Thank you! God bless!

[graceexplosion]

You know, it's really sad. But how do we know that Christian men and women who would have been spouses -- have been aborted and are not alive today. I know doctrinally that if a potential or even current spouse dies - then saints are free to marry another. But why are there statistically so many unmarried women especially in the African American sector?? Abortion targeted has been at a genocidal epic proportion. We have to pray for abortion to stop & ppl to be holy waiting for marriage.

[55jaymack]

Very wise

[kmillz77]

Takes a lot of humility to say that. Praise God for your willingness to do so. Not being content could become an idol of being married. Marriage is a blessing but it is not something our singles should be forced to be involved in. Awesome truth sister.

[mcelweewife]

truth

[simone56]

@mcelweewife I can't tell you anything I don't know for sure...

[cecinia23]

U GO GIRL

[simone56]

@cecinia23 LOL thanks! God bless!

[Preachateacha]

This is the kind of real talk singles ministries must have and I wish I had your message years ago, bc I would have made discerning and informed decisions about who to be with and who to leave alone. Blessings sister.

[simone56]

@Preachateacha I wish too that someone just kept it real with me and told me it is Christ I need to be living for and not for this idea that I "need" to be with someone. That is in the will of Christ.

[simone56]

@EnChristosEime4life You can say that. It was in my thoughts for a while sis.
