Word Preacher's idea

Another way that I know that I didn't pick my wife is because we are total opposites, but we fit together like a glove. You would have to know how I am to understand how I didn't pick my wife. I left it up to God years ago and He chose the wife that He wanted me to have.

Wordpreacher,

Thank-you for sharing your experience. I don't doubt that you believe this but I have my doubts about why/how God would care to do such a thing. There are too many personal factors involved.

I've had dreams, prophecies that have been directed to me/at me, and I think I ate too much pizza...hence the dreams...and the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet. If he makes a miscall then he is not really a prophet.

The man and woman choose each other...I am not sure there is much 'spiritual' about it.

Doubting Rhoni:sshhh

Praying and fasting is the best way to know.

I have had dreams about my calling, but God has shown others who did not know me that told me about the calling that God has shown. It was just confirmation of what God shows me. I went to a trinitarian church that God used to tell me about my calling, plus He used Apostolics to confirm my calling.

Try praying and fasting to seek God about these things. I can tell you about some things that I have discerned about people and found it to be true. There were things that I thought it was something that I was thinking, but found out that it was discernment. Not all dreams are from God and you have to seek God about it to find out which ones are from Him.

Well, that is why there are Apostolics getting divorced, because they chose each other and didn't allow God to choose their mate. That is why we humans fail miserably, because it is our flesh that chooses and the not allowing God to choose for us.

I believe that there would be less divorces with Apostolics if they allow God to choose the mate that He wants them to have, because God's will is the only sure way to do things. That's why I don't do anything without praying about it and making sure it is God's will. This is something that some Apostolics don't get, but it is so typical.

I don't think it is as easy as that...I think good solid Biblical teaching, counseling, and a consistent personal relationship to Christ makes the difference
