Well, do you have experience with hearing from God? Or, was that the only time you tried to hear from Him? We need to constantly be making sure with God, even all through the day, about what He wants to do with us. Even while I am typing this to you . . . I need to be sensitive to God and trusting Him to have me be peaceful and sensitive and submissive to Him.
God does use others to help us to know His will. He does use fathers and mothers. But we need to be able to test about when and if others are correct.
"Test all things; hold fast what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
I personally understand that an honest and mature Christian mentor will expect you to make sure with God about anything that person says to you. This is because you need to become able to make sure with God, yourself.
And . . . it is possible . . . in my opinion . . . there can be times when a person might ask God about something and He does not answer them because He knows they won't listen . . . and He already maybe has given them their answer while they were praying or He used someone to tell them and/or they have an answer in His word. So, our challenge is not to try to counsel and predict how God will do things
lolololololololoololololololol
Whether she is right or not . . . we need to obey God in His peace so we are not suffering and confused. So, even if she is wrong, you need to do better, yourself, if you are getting hurt and confused and letting things get to you. While you can get this way, I would say and offer > this can mean you could be misunderstanding things and not getting what will be really good for you. So, I would offer > pray until you are in peace and satisfied with what God has for you. Be very careful about pushing or forcing anything while you still can get confused and hurt and frustrated, because God communicates in His peace.
We need real correction by God so we are sharing with Him in His peace with His reliable guiding. Does your boyfriend ever talk with you about doing this??
Whether she is right about him, or not, it is true that God will keep working in us, correcting and maturing us; and then can come changes in our relating and what we understand that God wants.
Well . . . if what he wants means he is very interested in seeking money . . . yes, this can be a problem. And ones can be workaholics, if they can get overly interested in a career, and not so strongly interested in developing their marriage and how they relate with their children.
And in case you have been relating with a father who turned out not to be right . . . you possibly have adapted to relating with his personality; and so you possibly have been able to connect with a guy like your father, who is the kind of man you are used to handling. So, may be she is right about this, or not . . . for you to test with God; it seems this could be what she means. You might have her read this and tell you what she thinks.
And consider this > possibly, even though he later turned out to be a no-show > she might have at first fallen for him . . . being charmed or whatever. You two might discuss how she was able to get with him, if he was such a divorce waiting to happen.
I know a woman who was extremely charming, intelligent, sociable, yet she married wrong guys or tried to marry wrong guys. It turned out she might have been a closet alcoholic. She picked up one marriage prospect in a bar. Then she married someone and in two months or less, I think, she was trying to get out of it . . . after I carefully had advised her to make sure with God, about marrying the guy. It seems, among other things, how she was set in her personality to connect only with the men she married or tried to marry. Her own ways were her real problem!!
She needed to get a divorce from her own ways and her own ability to talk herself into trying to get what she wanted, using men who were not God's way!! She was dictating what she had to have, not praying about what God really would do with her.
Another woman said she kept getting connected with men who turned out to be alcoholics, and she couldn't understand why that was happening. I offered her that may be she had grown up with a male alcoholic, her father, so she only knew how to relate with his sort of personality in a man.
So, what is the attraction that gets so many into divorces? Both men and women can put on the "you can use me" act, in order to reel in somebody they want to use for what they want. Charm and intelligence can be the basic act people use > I am charming so you suppose I will be nice about giving you whatever you desire; and I am smart enough to communicate with you and understand what you want so you are sure to get it. And this act is what predators use, showing how nicely they will do whatever a church wants or a prospective companion wants > and they can blend into the camouflage that copy-cat churches and individuals use to cover up how they really are.
So, are you wise to yourself?
Are you wise to yourself?
What is her track record for making predictions?
There are people who have told me my future; and ones have told me things about my own self, which I did not even see until after they told me and I prayed and then was when I got it. God does use people.
