Heartbreaks WILL be healed. JOY WILL be restored and HOPE WILL be found. In Jesus Name. Amen!!!!!! Keep God First…….

I had a thought and the thought was this is so hm soul stirring that either this is God or the devil because I had previously laid everything down.
Any notion of a relationship. I laid it all down to pursue God.
And I was promoting a book at the time and I said, God, you’re gonna have to either this is you or this is the devil.
And you gotta let me know which one of you it is.
Uh And so the only way to get to that truth was to sacrifice in my heart, what I was feeling for Sarah, you have what a lot of people would think of as just a dream marriage.
You’re doing ministry together, business together, you travel the world together. You seem like you’re in love.
You got this great family. Um A lot of people are asking this question, you know, is there the one, you know, do you think of each other as the one?
And how do you know if someone is the one?
I, I’m his 11 thing I know for sure is it’s me, for him and he and for me.
Yeah, tell our story. Baby. How do you know what the one? No, I would agree, I think.
Uh, well, there was the initial meeting where it was strictly platonic. There was no romantic interest, which is supernatural.
Now, as I think back on that day, she wasn’t any less beautiful nor, uh, any less, um, eloquent, you know, she was who she was.
But for some reason in that initial meeting, it was almost like God shielded my eyes from that.
However, uh about a month later when we were with each other at a conference, uh the scales were removed from my eyes.
But there were, there were a couple of things, there were a couple of things.
One is at this particular conference, somehow supernaturally 10,000 people in the room.
But, but God has a seated right next to each other in the front row at this conference.
The pastor who happened to be her father, Bishop Jakes was closing out the conference and he says, I want you to grab the hand of the person who’s next to you.
We’re gonna pray. I grabbed Sarah’s hand to pray.
First of all, with my knee is trembling a bit because I’m grabbing the daughter of TV shakes.
I mean, we won’t even talk about that part.
But once my knees simmered down, uh as I took her hand, it was unlike anything I’d ever felt before.
It was like I was not taking the hand of a stranger.
It was my first time holding her hand, there was a familiarity that I took notice of.
Now, I didn’t know beyond that being something special. Um But that was noticeable for me fast forward.
Uh She uh in that moment, she turns to me that night after the prayer in Jesus name Amen.
And she says, uh I’m coming to L A in a few weeks and you are taking me to dinner and let me, I, I wanna add to this story that prior to the prayer, there was a service and worship and church of course, and the person who was sitting next to me, pastor to at the time, you know, uh he was interrupting me during church which like, I don’t know what y’all do at church, but he was like, did you know that?
And that’s my favorite scripture and I was like, he wants to feed me.
It’s obvious it’s written all over his face.
And so when we had that hand holding moment and it did, it felt different.
It wasn’t like that awkward sweaty palm. There was a little flirting going on just before that.
Just a tiny piece. Um Yeah, so I did, I definitely shot my shot there at the end of the prayer, but I knew it was going in.
I was lebron James. When I shot that shot, I knew it was clear. Nothing else.
And now look at it sitting up here doing the Lord’s work together because there was so there was, you know, I actually talk about this in a message I teach called five keys to identify your soulmates.
But there was chemistry, there was connection.
And then we, she comes to L A and we go to dinner and we shut the restaurant down.
I mean, it was, I had never felt any more aligned with my view of God with what previous experiences that taught me.
I mean, it was a profound exchange.
And then, and then after we closed the restaurant down, I, I went home and uh as I was driving home, um I had a thought and the thought was this is so soul stirring that either this is God or the devil because I had previously laid everything down.
Any notion of a relationship. I laid it all down to pursue God and I was promoting a book at the time and I said, God, you’re gonna have to either this is you or this is the devil and you gotta let me know which one of you it is.
Uh And so the only way to get to that truth was to sacrifice in my heart, what I was feeling for Sarah.
Uh And I did that before I went to sleep the middle of the night, the Laura wakes me up and he makes it clear, this is me and this is your wife and I called her at four in the morning.
Uh This is before she was a morning person.
I called her at four in the morning and, and told her that I believe she’s my wife.
Now, first of all, I’m the guy that if you come to me after a one date with someone and you tell me that this is your wife, I am going to rebuke you.
I’m gonna, even to this day we would hypocritically say that’s not true.
But, but I experienced it, Uh and uh and I called her and it, it resonated with just to ask you because you sped through it and maybe you don’t remember.
So I hope you do. But you said something like five keys to knowing someone’s your soul mate.
Like can you do that youtube speed? Like give me those five things. Yeah. Yeah. Uh five keys um chemistry.
You know, I think that God is bringing somebody in your life that’s gonna be chemistry, but you can have chemistry with someone who’s not your person.
So you have to get to connection. Connection is when you’re like, wait, this is beyond chemistry.
I feel connected to you. I feel like we, we belong to be in a relationship, but that’s still not it because sometimes codependency can make you feel that way.
And so the third step is wholeness.
Am I whole enough by myself uh and satisfied with just being alone, uh enough to qualify whether or not what I’m feeling is, is true.
Love or codependency. Uh and then a four is, um, why I haven’t talked to this in a long time.
Four is a, is a, oh, a sense of purpose, you know, a sense of purpose.
So I don’t believe that God brings people together without some sort of purpose.
It doesn’t mean you’re going to be, you know, a preaching couple and all that kind of stuff.
You may but you may not, but there is some purpose that that other person is connected to yours and you are connected to theirs.
And the fifth one and the most important one is divine confirmation.
You need a word from God about the person.
And if it is the person, you don’t have to man be a word.
If we see a car with four tires. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You need a word from God and, and it be confirmed and those are the five keys at TB N.
Our mission is to use every available means to reach as many individuals and families as possible with the life changing gospel of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for helping make the gospel of grace go around the world without you. We couldn’t do it.
God bless you.
