 A few weeks ago she came to me and told me that she feels rejected because I am not intimate with her. I told her my faith convicts me to save myself for marriage. She understood but still felt like she was being rejected.

 

She keeps telling me I need to stop pushing her to my faith and let her come to it on her own. 

 

There is a passage in the gospels that tells us after having shared the gospel (good news) with an unbeliever it is then up to them to decide whether or not to except it and believe the message. If they do... great! If not, not to make a huge issue of it and try to force them to do so. Move on. Its not our job to make them see as we do. Only the holy spirit can convince a person of the truth. All you can do is pray for them.

 

It is very disheartening per your post here that in a passive aggressive way, she is demanding that you prove your love for her by asking you to do something you know is not right. This isn't love, but romantic love that desires to be instantly gratified. Real love does not need to be proved. It is known without a shadow of a doubt. If she loves you, she will be willing to wait till marriage just as you are willing to wait till marriage.

 

Being intimate before marriage will NOT improve the relationship. Just the opposite, it will hinder it. And so will being unequally yoked. You will both be at odds with each other in many areas of the relationship. Both of you pulling in opposite directions or the believer sadly compromises his or her faith and falling away from Christ in order to satisfy the unbeliever's desires.

 

Per your post, my opinion is that it would be best if you broke the relationship off and moved on.

Praying~!

 

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

 

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:24-26

Welcome to Worthy!! The question is ...will your walk with Jesus grow stronger with her in your life or will you be pulled into her life and ways. God has someone for you...it just may not be her.

I could probably relate to your circumstance as I'm married to an unbeliever. Although my husband is a wonderful man, when it comes to spiritual matters both of us cannot be in one mind or perspective with regards to God. In my case, I was a Hindu but after doing much seeking I accepted Christ sometime in year 2002/2003.. Can't remember. Nevertheless I got married to my bf who is now my husband. (Unfortunately, christian guys failed me) but that's besides the topic. I would advice you to not be equally yoked with someone who is not in one mind And spirit with you. Everything would feel nice and spice when you're dating but once you come together in marriage, that's where the deal starts. I myself have backslided many times due to circumstances and my own disobedience of not waiting on the Lord. And please do not ever ever give in to doing something that is clearly a sin. If there isn't any way, then the best is to breakup than be consumed by fire. At the end, if both of you are meant for each other, it will take place.

I can completely relate. My ex wife believed in God but didnt follow Him. Towards the end of our marraige, my faith grew stronger and she drifted further. Its a really long story but the short of it, I prayed and prayed and prayed and in the end, I was to seperate from her. We were terribly unevenly yoked. And now, Christ has done so much more in my life and I am the closest to Him I have ever been.

 

Tanusha put it very well.

God Bless,

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
