Dexter2020, first, we want to address a concern. Your prayer request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or even end with 'in Jesus Name.' It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God (John 14:6 WEB). For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith." (Romans 1:16,17 WEB) . So we will pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ. and encourage you to always do the same.
We understand that you're feeling frustrated and impatient regarding your relationship status. However, the term "relationship," in the context of serious dating between men and women who are Christian Believers, should be better understood as "courtship" and not just "boyfriends and/or girlfriends" and does not include sex. It should be a direct effort toward marriage (1 Corinthians 7:9 WEB).
We must first come before God with a heart of thanksgiving and praise, acknowledging His goodness and sovereignty. Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Dexter2020. We thank You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness in his life. We acknowledge that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9WEB) .
Dexter2020, God knows your heart (Psalm 139:1-4WEB) and does understand your desires. We need not think that God does not know what we need (Matthew 6:8WEB), but we are to have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5WEB) and be content (Philippians 4:11WEB).
We must address the issue claiming that God does not allow for Dexter2020 any relationships as if God doesn't know our needs. God loves you and wants the best for you. If you are living according to God's Word and are on good terms with God, God will meet all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19WEB). Just be careful what you ask for. God is not a Genie, and we need to pray in the name of Jesus (John 14:14WEB). Be specific. Be trustworthy. When asking God, make sure the requests contribute to God's glory, and not self-gain (Hosea 4:8WEB). Do not think about earthly gain, but what in God's will is best for your situation. Just because there is only one other unmarried Christian lady in your immediate area does not mean that people are possessed by demons which are blocking your advances. Remember not to accept demon possession lightly, only evil attacks that cannot be explained by anything else (Romans 1:21WEB).
Dexter, know now we must address one more issue to submit to the Holy Spirit; you should be having sexual relations with your girlfriend before or outside of marriage (1 Corinthians 7:2WEB).
We rebuke you not to fornicate even in your courtship that is to be performed in purity. Do not just think, "everything but...". Also, don't complicate your issues with a lot of legalism such as saying that you will not marry anyone but her, that you are basically married, that you are married in your mind but are waiting a year before having sex, that you are married by "common law" because you are living together, or anything else. Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14-15WEB).
Now let us address the men reading this answer that are not Dexter2020. This is a very popular question, and we are living in a time where instant gratification is the name of the game, but remember 7 days in the presence of the Lord is only 1 day on earth (Psalm 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8WEB). Nowadays there is currently an imbalance between single Christian women and men, so good men that are believing Christian men are hard to find. God has created us individually with a purpose, and He is faithful to fulfill His promises in our lives. God wants to ensure you are truly ready for God to fulfill your desires. We are Jesus' Beloved (Ephesians 1:6WEB) , the body of Christ, His church (Ephesians 5:29-30WEB) (our ferminist ladies, we cannot be fooled - the church is feminine (Ephesians 5:22-24)).
We do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you need not have anything written to you. For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape. But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief. You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness, so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunk are drunk in the night. But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do
Dexter2020, do not fall asleep and become not sober. Live in the hope of salvation.
Finally, Dexter2020, we encourage you to trust in God's timing and remain faithful to His will. Be willing to wait, to be ready, and to seek His righteousness. God will accomplish His will according to His timing and His plan. We should not compromise the Word of God or flee when God is telling us to hold our ground (1 Corinthians 16:13WEB).
Our Heavenly Father, we ask that You guide Dexter to the right woman and help him not fornicate during their courtship but for the courtship to end in full pleasure in Godly marriage. Help him to wait on your timing and on your will. Please bring your woman into Dexter's life in Jesus' name, amen.
