RIGHT PARTNER 2
You cannot bottle God, He moves in mysterious ways to perform His will, therefore I'll only be sharing some important ways through which God speaks.
For a Christian who is right with God, there must be a way God has been communicating with you before the issue of marriage comes up. He will mostly use that means to convey the message to you too as He is not an author of confusion. He will not start a different means which will make you confused, although you may get confirmation through a different way.
Don't bottle Him up or fix Him into your mould expecting a particular means, be open minded and let Him direct you by choosing a means you will perfectly understand. Or rather, master the means through which He speaks to you.
If you are a child of God, He himself will surely speak to you, I testify to that by His grace. He can speak through the following ways:
1. The Bible
During your devotion or studying time. How often do you commune with God in personal study, digging deep into His words? You want to hear God? Read His word!
2. Through a still small voice
It is not harsh except He is correcting you sometimes. This voice can only come as a result of the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit in you. I Kings 19:12b. This is more reason you have to keep your heart pure and holy at all times by His grace and conscious effort by you.
3. Prophesy
Yes I said prophesy, we still have good prophets around, just that you must be extremely careful. To do this, just like Apostle Paul recorded about the believers in Berea who received the word and do go back daily to search the scriptures if those things were true (Acts 17:11). Confirm the prophesy in prayers!
4. Through dreams and visions
Let me quickly tell you that dream comes through 3 different means.
1. From God
2. From the devil
3. From self
Therefore, you have to also pray about the dream for another confirmation, it is not a taboo for you to hear Him twice. Be sure the dream is not as a result of your state of mind!
That God chose him/her does not mean there won't be storm but there is Jesus in it to calm whatever betide. I'm sure he/she is the right person but he/she is not yielding, go and report to God, He can convince the person too and if he/she is still proving hard, tell God; He has a replacement is available. Just move with God step by step as He leads.
Note that when it seems that God is not responding to your prayer about a particular person; it may be as a result of a sin in your life affecting your prayer, or having a ready made person in mind wanting God to stamp, or not having a walk with God initially. God may also be teaching you patience so that you can see what is about to unfold about the person.
Why do we have break-ups in Christian courtships then after being convinced? That's a topic for another day by His grace.
Your conviction is an important ingredient for a successful marriage, have one and be sure of it!
Confession: I need your direction oh Lord
Prayer: Say Father, give me the gift of the Holy Spirit, speak to me in a way I will understand and show me direction in Jesus name
