Christian Dating: How to Navigate Proposal as a Young Lady (Part 3)

Impossible!

“It has to be wholly ‘eaten’ and thoroughly ‘digested’ that the SUPERNATURAL CONTROLS THE PHYSICAL. The things that we do not know, are far greater than the ones we know.” excerpt from Jessica’s diary.

How infallible is the above proof?

This will be best answered to individual’s knowledge, if we do not reason like a disciplined or random atheist.

IMPOSSIBLE.

Jessica lazily scribbled down the word in many forms. It is just like every other words in her diary. A diary she has been keeping since her love story began in secondary school. But this time, the letters in the word, I.M.P.O.S.S. I.B.L.E, danced before her eyes like a roaming shadow in the dark. 

Just a mere combination of letters, yet, it felt lively. Confusion, seemed to be like the least of term to explain her state. She was terrified at the soft-burns of truth that her spirit revealed.

She was awestruck, mentally, she had not very much recovered from Mr. Emmanuel's proposal. He did not have to tell her that he had seek the face of God, many a time, but she could tell that he was different. 

Not in stature, affluence, level of education or charisma- but in the spirit.

Mr. Emmanuel had exuded a rare kind of spiritually-wrapped confidence when he came. To say that her ‘spiritual father’ was a shy person sent shivers down her spine.

Yet, would you say that he outsmarted Mr. Marks in the act of proposing? (the bank’s marketer that admires her in an insanely awesome manner.)

Or did he outshone Dans Akins in physical handsomeness (the most noticed factor in a man.).

Or has he accrued greater wealth than Philip? (the underlining power of money that makes a marriage thrive.)

Not at all! He was only different. The difference that still startles her. Now, she would have to reconsider her stand. Would she trade the Spirit leading for ephemeral things? Then lose the true basis for her eventual marriage? This had seriously got her thinking.

     

                                                                      ***

Precisely a week after Mr. Emmanuel’s proposal. She began an intense prayer warfare. On the night of her ‘battle’, she felt very relaxed after studying some selected verses of the Bible. And as the night drawls on, there was a struggle in her heart. A spiritual kind of struggle - because it rendered the thinking part of her brain numb and dried up her reservoir of tear glands.

She could tell that her world was about to drift apart and her dear heart was much involved, than any other part of her. Her heart wanted her to believe that it was its own pain- its own unexplainable struggle and no members of her body should partake in it. That was why its had excused the brain; so she would never be able to surmise a logical conclusion and the tear gland would not interpret the message.

 As the struggle in the heart itched intensely, it made her tossed from one bedside to another, in weakness and in confusion. It sifted the worth of Dans Akins and Mr. Emmanuel. Like two pillars against the wall, one out of them began to shake vigorously. It began to loosen its firm hold from her heart. It gave the much needed chance for the other to occupy and strenghthen its hold. But it didn’t do such. It was in that moment of tiny attention that a ‘wall’ broke away - it broke apart from her world. 

This time, it was not the making of their proposals that was tested, but the spiritual backing behind them.

It was that serious. 

Yet, she was determined to know When God would speak - What He would say. She need not fear how she would hear, because she was accustomed to her very own pattern of hearing from God.

The dream.

 

Jessica was hitherto thankful for the calm relief the dream came with.  She was most grateful that she had escaped a scary kind of struggle - one that she had never experienced in her entire life. She was most relieved that she was travelling further into the supernatural bliss of hearing from God in her most perfect way.

And in her dream, she saw herself meditating. While at it, a crisp white notes of blank papers were streamed before her. She peered at all and could not deduce the meaning of the blankness. Suddenly, like a jolting flash - one out of the many crispy white notes bore some wordings. She propped up herself on the bed and studied the note clearly- not only at a closer glance but at a deeper depth. 

It read thus; ‘sister Jessica, do not impede God’s plan for your life’. Apart from the obvious fact that the wordings came in the voice of Bro. Emmanuel speaking to her. The mystery note came at the very point she was praying about his proposal and not about Dans Akins'.

Phew! That was the hit that shattered the remaining broken wall.

Dans Akins had to go.

In her undecided state, it roused her from the dream and got her thinking all day

Dear lady-in-waiting, 

Our God still speaks to every of His children, the Bible says, my sheep knoweth my voice. The question we should ponder on is this, are we His children at all or are we still His children? 

If you are yet to know God, please endeavor to know God for yourself, every areas of your life deserves the breath of God. Please stay where the breath of God commands you, He is that faithful.
