Since there is "men asking women how to find dates" discourse on my dash, I wanted to add my two cents as totally chad proof I'm destined to be an anonymous guy's relationship advice expert XD It's very general advice but in my life experience (which is admittedly limited to 19 years, one failed engagement, and playing middle man when a couple of my best friends broke up) it seems to hold true. But that is mostly because a lot of what I have to say here is basic biblical doctrine about who a good husband and just generally a good ambassador for Christ is, both of which I have studied.

Okay guys listen up. This is how it works.

Just don't. Don't meet women to date. Don't do it. It's a trap.

Make friends with women though. (Not ones in relationships of course.) That's okay. And as your friendships develop, you'll find which ones align most closely with you.

Developing strong friendships with many different people is an important part of being in the body of Christ. A strong friendship will yield a stronger relationship. But just viewing a girl as a potential girlfriend isn't treating her with the respect she as a child of God made in His image deserves.

Be a good brother in Christ to them. Don't let your mind carry your fantasies away. Stay grounded and treat the women you know like actual people. Work in the church alongside your friends-- do different things with your groups of people. This will reveal the character of your friends and you will discover which girl is worth pursuing. And if she says no, that's no. Leave it at that. Work to heal the friendship and return your focus to being a godly friend.

Things girls like: good listeners, kind and respectful men, good decision makers, men filled with humility and compassion, men who are responsible stewards of the money and time God has given them, and men who radiate the peace, hope, and love of God. Those traits will make you a good Christlike husband one day. More than that, these are traits that make you a good Christian. As a man seeking God, you should be seeking these traits.

Things that certainly don't hurt: keep yourself well groomed, avoid being a stupid show off, don't wear navy blue and black together, learn to cook and clean. XD

Things to avoid: starting a relationship when you are immature, unstable, just lonely, or consumed with lust. Deal with those issues first. You should never objectify anyone. Don't play with the feelings of a girl. Don't lead her on. If you start a relationship and it's not going right, you need to pray over it, then DISCUSS the issues in detail using scripture to explain your thinking. If you need to end it, don't be vague, be precise so that she can grow from the experience.

And always have an older, more mature, godly Christian man to help mentor you. So if you need to know more than this, that's one place your mentor can help you a lot. He can also help counsel you through sin issues, point you towards Christ, and generally help you when you're struggling or need wise counsel.

Beyond what's here, a girl can't help you much. This is all general advice. If you need help wooing a specific gal, this is only gonna get you so far. Individual girls have individual preferences. If you need advice tailored to your situation, that's another place your mentor can help a lot.

So go forth and grow in Christ. God has already decided your lot and He knows your story. You just have to not worry about what's coming and instead apply yourself to growing in godliness and growing into your Christian communities.

Christian Couple Relationship Goals for a Strong and Lasting Marriage

Title: Christian Couple Relationship Goals for a Strong and Lasting Marriage

In a world where relationships are constantly challenged, Christian couples strive to cultivate a bond that is deeply rooted in faith, love, and commitment. By setting meaningful relationship goals, couples can strengthen their connection and build a marriage that honors God. Here are some essential Christian couple relationship goals to help you build a strong and lasting relationship:

Prioritize God in Your Relationship: Make God the center of your relationship by praying together, attending church services, and engaging in spiritual activities as a couple. When Christ is at the center of your relationship, you will find strength, guidance, and unity in your marriage.

Communicate with Love and Respect: Effective communication is essential in any relationship. As a Christian couple, strive to communicate with love, patience, and respect. Listen to each other's thoughts and feelings attentively and express your own thoughts kindly and honestly.

Practice Forgiveness and Grace: Just as God forgives us, Christian couples should also practice forgiveness and extend grace to one another. Learn to let go of past hurts, mistakes, and misunderstandings, and choose to forgive your partner as Christ forgives us.

Cultivate Unconditional Love: Love is at the core of every successful marriage. Practice unconditional love by showing kindness, compassion, and selflessness towards your partner. Choose to love each other not just in words, but in actions and deeds.

Support Each Other's Growth: Encourage and support each other's personal and spiritual growth. Celebrate each other's achievements, dreams, and aspirations, and walk hand in hand as you both grow individually and as a couple.

Invest in Quality Time Together: Make time for each other amidst your busy schedules. Prioritize spending quality time together, whether it's going on dates, having meaningful conversations, or enjoying shared hobbies and interests.

Seek Guidance and Counseling: Don't be afraid to seek guidance and counseling from wise mentors, pastors, or Christian counselors when facing challenges in your relationship. Seek Godly wisdom and advice to help you navigate through difficult times.

By setting these Christian couple relationship goals and actively working towards them, you can cultivate a marriage that is rooted in faith, love, and God's grace. Remember that a strong and lasting relationship requires continuous effort, commitment, and prayer. May your relationship be a testament to God's love and faithfulness.

In times of uncertainty and not knowing what to do, it is natural to feel anxious or overwhelmed. However, the Bible offers guidance and reassurance for finding peace in such situations.

One key verse to remember is Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Here are a few steps to find peace when you don't know what to do:

1. Pray: Take your concerns and uncertainties to God in prayer. Pour out your heart to Him and ask for His guidance and wisdom.

2. Trust in God's Sovereignty: Remember that God is in control, even when we don't understand the circumstances. Trust that He has a plan and purpose for your life.

3. Seek Godly Counsel: Reach out to trusted mentors, pastors, or friends who can provide wise and biblical advice. Proverbs 15:22 says, "Without counsel, plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed."

4. Meditate on God's Word: Spend time in the Bible, seeking wisdom and guidance from God's Word. Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

5. Surrender to God's Will: Ultimately, surrender your desires and plans to God, trusting that His will is best. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Through prayer, trust, seeking counsel, meditating on God's Word, and surrendering to His will, you can find peace even in times of uncertainty. Remember that God is with you and will guide you on the right path.

TEN RED FLAGS TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP 🚩

When it comes to red flags in our relationships, we, as modern women, far too often ignore them. We pretend they don’t exist. We don’t want to deal with the potential conflict, change, or emotional heartache that may come as a result of acknowledging them. We often choose to ignore the issues and move forward rather than dealing with the reality of our situation. As difficult as it might be to face the red flags, we need to remember that they serve a purpose—they warn us about potential danger ahead.

The two of us strongly encourage you to be honest about the reality of your relationship. Don’t ignore your concerns and expect them to go away. Acknowledge the red flags for what they truly are and don’t sugarcoat the issues. Use wisdom and seek outside counsel from a wiser, older Christian. They will be able to offer you insight from a nonemotional perspective and share honestly why you’re having trouble acknowledging all the facts about the relationship.

Although each relationship will look a little bit different, there are some typical red flags to keep an eye out for. What follows is a list of ten of the most common red flags to look for in your romantic relationship. As you read this list, keep in mind that red flags vary in severity. Not every red flag is an automatic deal breaker. Each flag needs to be taken into thoughtful consideration within the context of the individual relationship.

1. HE HAS A SHALLOW RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

The foundation of your guy’s life should be his relationship with God. He won’t be perfect, but he should be growing in his spiritual walk. If your guy isn’t spending time in the Word, isn’t involved in church, and isn’t seeking accountability, you need to double check his foundation. As we’ve talked about in previous chapters, that should be an automatic deal breaker (see 2 Cor. 6:14). If your guy has a weak and struggling relationship with God, be concerned. This should be the most important aspect of your guy’s life. Take this red flag seriously. The ultimate red flag, of course, is if your guy is not a Christian.

2. HE PULLS YOU DOWN SPIRITUALLY.

A man who genuinely loves the Lord will naturally encourage you in your relationship with Christ. If he’s doing the opposite by pulling you down spiritually, that’s a problem. If being with this guy has weakened your relationship with Christ, that’s a serious red flag.

Remember, husbands are called to disciple their wives in the Word (see Eph. 5:25–27). If your guy can’t encourage you in the Word right now, what makes you think he will do that in the future? Take your relationship with God seriously. It’s the most important part of your life. Don’t compromise your relationship with God for the sake of a relationship with a guy.

3. HE’S STUCK IN HABITUAL SIN.

Porn, lust, anger, alcohol and drug addiction, and gluttony are just a few of the habitual sins you might face in your relationship. Please understand that these habitual sins will not automatically disappear once you’re married. Habitual, unrepented sin is a serious matter of the heart (see James 1:15). Until a person’s heart changes, the sin will always reappear. If your guy is stuck in habitual sin, you need to stop and seek outside counsel. Don’t push forward and naively hope it will disappear. It won’t.

The two of us have seen too many women push forward and expect marriage to change their man. Marriage may hide the sin for a bit, but it will always come back. Don’t be a woman who assumes she can change a man.

4. HE PRESSURES YOU TO COMPROMISE SEXUALLY.

If a guy pressures you to compromise sexually, he is not showing you Christlike, agape love. He’s not encouraging you toward purity and holiness (see 1 Thess. 4:7). He’s not striving to honor God in that area of the relationship. He’s focusing on his wants and is sadly using you to satisfy them. He’s being selfish and putting his desires above all else (see Phil. 2:3–4). Although it may seem flattering that he desires to be with you, it’s not. He’s choosing to sin and is willing to pull you down with him.

5. HE’S RUSHING THE RELATIONSHIP.

If your guy is impatiently rushing the relationship forward, this should signal your red flag antennas (see 1 Cor. 13:4). Stop and figure out why he’s in such a rush. Why does he want to move so quickly? Is there a good reason for his rushing? Is he trying to snatch you up before his true character shows through? Time is your best friend in the relationship. Just because he’s in a big hurry doesn’t mean you have to be as well.

6. WISE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE DON’T SUPPORT THE RELATIONSHIP.

Wise people are in your life for a reason. Whether they’re your parents, your siblings, a mentor, your pastor, or someone else, these people typically know you better than most anyone else. They often know your strengths and weaknesses very well. If the wise people in your life have major reservations about a guy, take their concerns seriously. Don’t ignore them or disregard what they share with you (see Prov. 3:13). Even if you don’t like what they have to say, at least hear them out.

7. HE HAS VERY FEW SPIRITUAL CONVICTIONS

If your guy has very few spiritual convictions, you need to figure out why. A guy who is seeking the Lord, studying the Bible, involved in church, and striving to honor God will choose to live according to biblical truths (see John 14:15). If your guy lacks personal conviction in his life (i.e., falls prey to sexual immorality, drunkenness, dishonesty, etc.), a deeper issue most likely needs to be addressed. Instead of trying to force your personal convictions onto your guy, share the details of the relationship with a godly woman and communicate honestly about the lack of conviction in your man’s life.

8. HE DOESN’T KEEP HIS WORD.

Every girl wants to marry a man she can fully trust. A man she can rely on. A man she can feel safe and secure giving her entire life to. When a man doesn’t fulfill his promises (big or small), it creates a serious lack of trust in the relationship. When your man says he is going to do something (e.g., spend time in God’s Word, attend church each week, refrain from drinking too much, avoid getting into debt, etc.) but regularly breaks his word, that creates a lack of trust and shows that he is not a man of integrity (see Eph. 4:25). You need to be able to trust that your man will do what he says. If he regularly breaks his promises, that’s a red flag that needs to be considered.

9. HE WANTS TO KEEP THE RELATIONSHIP A SECRET.

He says he loves you. He says he cares about you. He says he eventually wants people to know about the relationship. But for now, he convinces you to keep things just between the two of you. He wants to keep the relationship a secret. With the rise of online dating and communication, having a secret relationship is easier than ever before. If your guy wants to keep your relationship a secret from everyone, that’s a major red flag. Why does he want to keep it a secret? Why is he afraid to tell people? Why does he want to hide it? The wisest thing to do is to bring the relationship into the light. Remember, there is wisdom in counselors (see Prov. 11:14).

10. HE’S OBSESSED WITH HIMSELF.

He’s easily irritated. He’s quick to find faults in others. He’s obsessed with his muscles and outward appearance. He usually thinks of his comforts and needs before yours. His main concerns in life are his desires. He’s just overly concerned about himself. If this describes your guy in any way, it should raise a red flag in your mind. If your guy isn’t placing Christ at the center of his life, he will be consumed with himself (see Phil. 2:3–4). His priorities will be seriously out of whack. His obsession with himself will not magically go away once you’re married.

Don’t Ignore the Red Flags

As you were reading through the ten red flags, did any stand out to you? If they did, we are proud of you for having the courage to acknowledge them. That means you’re still viewing your guy with a clear perspective. Infatuation hasn’t totally taken over and you’re still able to honestly evaluate the relationship. At this point the most important thing you can do is to seek outside counsel. Call your mentor or any godly woman who can offer you sound advice. Share the information you just read and ask for her feedback. Taking this action step will give you the wisdom you need to move forward or break things off.

Don’t risk moving forward in a relationship with a guy who may have unaddressed sin issues. Don’t minimize the red flags out of fear or worry. This is your one and only life. Think of your future. Think of the type of man you hope to spend the rest of your life with.

Be willing to acknowledge the hard truth and seek outside help.

Don’t make the mistake of ignoring the warning signs in your relationship. By taking them seriously now, you can avoid major regrets down the road.

July 2020 Strategy Into The Next Six Months Of The Year!

Increase in boosting your immune system and getting your health in order to help guard against the next waves of pandemics. We must understand that the world systems make more money when people are ill so the delay in a cure is strategic and at the sacrifice of us - our wellness, our finances, our destines, our lives. Take charge in being an advocate of your own emotional and physical wellness.

Be aware and guard against the psychological warfare as it relates to high anxiety and suicide. The spirit of death has been unleashed globally in 2020. A lot of trauma has ensued that has not been dealt with and that is lingering in the atmospheres and climates of households, communities, and regions. It will be essential to pray over your atmosphere and establish the glory of God in your home and sphere, as well as, take time to heal from the trauma of the first six months of the year. Many won’t know to do this, thus the increase of irrational and suicidal thoughts will be the culprit - even by unlikely individuals. As this type of attack is not about how strong a person is but how the enemy comes to distract and plague a person with stress, oppressions, and perceptions, that are not their own. As people agree with them, the spirit is suicide takes flight and binds people into aborting their destinies by taking their own lives. There will be some who will take out their entire families and then themselves - saints need to be praying against this in their sphere of influence.

Remain consistent regarding what God told you to do for 2020 and the next decade. Be guided by God rather than dictated by the world’s issues, trends, etc. What he told you to do should have an impact on these avenues either now or the future.

Be mindful of the reset, processing, and evolving that manifested in 2020. Know where you are with God and make adjustments to your destiny blueprint as he leads. Be sure to do what he says. Be sure to finish any areas he is processing you in. Even if he gives you revelation of the future, finishing the process is vital to you being delivered and healed, and sustaining in what is to come. Processing is foundational and without a solid foundation, there is no sufficient sustaining in what is being reset or what a person is evolving into.

Jezebel and leviathan will rise up in a greater measure this next six months and even into 2021. Jezebel will come subtle with flattery, seducing of the person’s identity, purpose, and emotions, then the webbing of control will follow. Jezebel will try to make you feel valuable so it can stay connected to web, drain, and benefit from you. Some will feel obligated to stay connected to Jezebel. This obligation will give Jezzy the door she needs to bind and oppress those she wants to control. Leviathan will be blatant and appalling. Leviathan will be even bolder than it has been the past six months. Leviathan will attempt to intimidate, control, bully, and even make you feel your truths are ungodly or irrational. Leviathan will attempt to make you feel ignorant and irrelevant. This spirit will come for your identity and come to strip you of what God has said about you. More racial injustices by civilians will arise as the spirit of hate and racism is further exposed. Leviathan will be even more focused on getting people caught up in their feelings and traumas where they make poor decisions in the moment that put their lives in danger. Leviathan will seek to justify its actions by using the open doors of trauma and emotional imbalances in people’s lives. Both these spirits will be spiritual and physical destiny killing spirits in this season.

It will be important for the church to focus on reform and what their mandate is in the earth. Even as laws will need to be change, instituted, reinforced and spiritual political leaders need to rise and take position in their spheres of influence, the church should not rely on political parties to usher in the kingdom of God in the earth. No political party fully represents the kingdom. They will always only bring a measure of Christ in the earth and even then, other laws will be implemented that are unrighteous and that will offset the righteous laws. The church has to arise in revival reform and manifest justice through their ordained blueprints so that people will want godly justice in the earth and want to change laws that SHIFT in the kingdom of God.

Due to political party mandates and ideologies being the new religious doctrine and people being stern in their positions, more division will take place in the body of Christ before unity occurs. Their will be conflict and upheaval in a greater measure regarding the saints’ political stances. Offense will override the ability to respect one another’s view points and unify for kingdom purposes. This is part of the exposure that has come to the body of Christ in this hour and is part of God’s way of exposing the wiles of Leviathan and Jezebel. It will be important to search yourself and deal with prideful and divisive ways. It will be important to not allow political propaganda to override God’s kingdom government and purposes. It will be important to seek God for his progressive word regarding political agendas and to pray and examine matters from a full perspective, not from prophecy that is in part or because a measure of good is feint done by a political party. God will never sacrifice sin for at the expense of lives or his kingdom purpose. God will never compromise the gospel for a little good. He will always seek to address and purge sin from the earth. He always has a greater kingdom agenda even as he uses the foolish things, foolish people, and the most likely people and circumstances to confound the wise and to produce his real intent in the earth.

One inference I see in the spirit is how the church has to stop agreeing with defunding the police and become the social healing reforms that their communities need. It is evident that the world needs prayer, deliverance, healing, counseling, mentoring, coaching, schools, destiny training and equipping, business and entrepreneur training, real estate reform, drug shelters, petty crime shelters, inner healing institutes, trauma centers, physical wellness centers that also include essential oils and supplements, etc. Lets stop demanding and waiting on the world to supply this and begin to be the answer in our communities. I see so clear my how social reforms starts with the church - with God’s believers. Church is no longer church as usual. Reforming the church to be a revolving door where people can come for wellness is vital to eradicating injustices and dismantling demonic and worldly systems that keep people impoverished, sick, and oppressed. So many people in the church - the body of Christ are equipped in these areas. I see God wanting to use this time of reset to SHIFT us out of the world systems and working for these systems to establishing our own kingly systems that really SHIFT wellness into people’s lives as into the earth.

Decreeing we become offensive as we SHIFT further into 2020 and the next decade where are not ignorant of satan’s devices or man’s ways that would seek to override God’s purposes plans in the earth. #SHIFT

Guidance or Wisdom

You have probably never heard of William Lamb, otherwise known as Lord Melbourne. He has a claim to fame the fact that he mentored a young lady named Victoria when she was between the ages of 18 and 21. One day (when Victoria was 18) he announced to her that she was now Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and his next action is so remarkable. He opened the Bible with her and took her to the Old Testament, where they read together from the story of Solomon.  

Solomon, like Victoria, had been appointed to the throne. One night early in his reign, God appeared to him in a dream and offered him anything he wanted. This was Solomon's response: “Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?” (2 Chron. 1:10) This pleased God so much that He granted Solomon the wisdom and knowledge he had asked for and, in addition, great wealth and fame. As a result of the wisdom he received, we know Solomon today as the primary author of what we call the wisdom books of the Old Testament.

There are times in life when we need guidance and times when we need wisdom. Sometimes we need to be told what to do or where to go, and sometimes we need to evaluate the situation ourselves and make a decision based on judgment. Generally speaking, we need guidance when we are young and wisdom when we are older. Children need a lot of guidance, and as they mature they need to develop wisdom so that they can make decisions as adults. That's not to say that adults don't ever need guidance; however, in most cases, they are expected to have wisdom. 

Wisdom and guidance are not necessarily exclusive of one another. Someone can work through an issue with wisdom and then be given guidance. Someone else can begin by seeking guidance, and part of that guidance can come through wisdom. We need to be open to both, ready to receive help however God gives it.

God has given us the resources of prayer, the Word, and wise counselors. Are you seeking to grow in wisdom? Do you ask God for wisdom when you face a decision? Do you meditate on what the scriptures mean in your life? Do you have older, wiser believers you can turn to for advice?

Prayer: Lord, let these things be true of me. Sometimes in the past, I have depended on my own judgment and made foolish decisions. Forgive me and help me to walk by faith in Your wisdom. Help me to turn to the Word, to ask You for wisdom to seek godly counsel.

4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,[a]    knowledge and discretion to the young—

5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,    and let the discerning get guidance—
