The 9 Mistakes (Almost) All Christian Singles Make.
Mistake #1
Having idols in the heart.
In the Bible, anything that takes the place of God in our heart is an idol. God wants to have first place in your life, especially when it comes to the issue of a godly spouse. He has already kept His best for you and you have to go to Him in prayer to find out.
But, if you go to God with your mind already made up about someone you want and you just ask Him to "rubber stamp " your choice.... by asking Him to show you if that person is your godly spouse, you will most likely hear the voice of your own emotions echoed back to you... and Not really God's voice. In this case, God can even say Yes if He sees that in your heart of hearts you have already made up your mind. (permissive will of God)not the perfect will of God.
Ezekiel 14:4 puts it this way
"Therefore speak to them and say to them, "' Thus says the Lord God :"Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols.
It means that Most singles going around saying they heard from God about this or that person is God's choice for them, are merely deceiving themselves and heading for disaster without knowing it.
They will need to clear away their preconceived ideas about those they want and don't want and allow the Lord to lead them to His choice for them.
And He does lead people to His choices.
