How a relationship with Christ will assist in recognizing your purpose mate

Single ladies listen up! I was talking to my sister, and I even posted on Facebook that it is so important that we form an intimate relationship with Christ. I didn't realize it until I was in mid conversation with her as to why it really is so important. This is the scripture that the Lord gave me, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (John 10:27-28) I'm just going to throw this out there, but could it be that you keep falling for the same okie dok with men because you don't know our saviors voice. I can recall a time in my last relationship when a ex said that the Lord told Him that he can not handle or talk to me any way because It would only scare me away. He was right because I have spent enough time with Jesus to know that He is a comforter. He has a way of speaking to me that no one else can comprehend... He maybe more stern with one person, but calmer to another. I can recall several times where I was struggling with something in my walk that I did not want to do, and it never fails I always hear the song "for your glory" after that It's like I hear a still voice say "will you do it for Me?" My God! every time I find myself doing that exact thing with ease, and giving Him a Yes! So with speaking to my sister it dawned on me that I need to be looking for that same voice in my future mate. The scripture I was reminded of was is in Ephesians.. Where the man is to love the wife like Christ loved the Church, and he is to "Wash her with water through the Word." Ladies we have got to shut up, and let the man talk. For one you'll see if He is familiar with The Word at all... Does He even know Jesus? the bible says that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1) Jesus is the word! How can a man wash you with someone that he doesn't know?... I'll wait...... and so I just keep hearing the Lord say, "listen for my voice.... you are my sheep you know my voice." The problem is we are always too busy to spend time with the Lord... The Lord also reminded me that the bibles says, "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by The Word of God"... we have got to stay in our Word also in order to build our faith up to where we are confident in recognizing His voice. I was just reminded that enemy knows the word, but what he can't do is what my friend always tells me is be The Word... he can't align himself perfectly with scripture that's why with allowing the man to talk you'll get a better understanding of where his heart is. The Lord will begin to speak to Him on how to address you in a way that you'll know its nobody but Jesus speaking through Him. Listen! it's time out for games I believe that we are truly in our last days the bible says " Iron sharpens Iron" you need a team mate that you can go to war with. the bible also says to put on the full armour of God and to "take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." (Ephesians 17) The Word is our sword, and it's how were going to fight the devil. I didn't post this to preach at anybody, but it's serious. The Word will be all that we will be left with. It's time to familiarize ourselves with our savior it's like I can picture Him standing there with His arms stretched saying, "get to know Me" He's longing to commune with you. I pray that again this blessed you the way that it blessed me... I am going to attempt to post more, but I only post as the Spirit leads so keep me in your prayers. I love you all! be blessed. Taira :)
