The most devastating issue facing today's christian Single

[Minister Katrina Winters]

What is the most difficult issue facing today's single? In anticipation of the launch of a city-wide Singles' Ministry, I prayed and fasted for God's heart toward this misunderstood population. God is most concerned that Singles listen to His voice and live out His purpose for their lives; not anyone elses. As the launch date quickly approaches, I have been compiling information to better address the struggles singles are facing today. As God's anointed, what are the issues you see impacting the singles you encounter everyday?

[Minister Katrina Winters]

What a blessing and a wealth of information! Thank you so much. If the Lord lays anything else on your heart, please don't hesitate to inform me.

God's best to you,

Before I was married, I streuggled with trusting that God would send me a husband. I also struggled with if it would be me choosing the man from my own desires. That was actually a joke I had with God, how would He send me a man because if I saw the man first and was attracted to him, I was running. And God showed me this concern was not too small, because He even found a way to deliver me my husband with no dought in my mind he was from God. I would also like to share with you a poem I read that blessed me with an understanding of my single season. I want to also share with you, after conversations with my husband, I would tell him how I went almost three years without dating, just focusing on being satisfied with God. My desire was to be committed to a husband I did not yet have. But I would keep around certain gentlemen for the occassional dinners. What my husband showed me was, I may have shown times of little faith, because once he and i met and started dating, it was the guys I kept around for "dinner" that caused us problems. And I never thought about that. But being single was a very important period in my life because it caused me to seek, understand and become comfortable with God alone.

I hope this helps, I tend to think faster than I type. But I wish nothing but blessing upon your ministry. I feel as if this is going to be an area for me to minister, when my timing comes. Because I experienced it, and I was blessed. I pray you bless many.

Thank you. That piece you wrote about choosing to be alone and not have men around for "dinner" is so powerful. You are a well of refreshing water. God is going to use your experience to "water" someone in their dry place. Let me know when God opens that door. Expect it soon!

God's best to you,

This is the poem that blessed me with understanding. Maybe it will bless someone else.

Be Satisfied With Me
Author Unknown

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone
To have a deep soul relationship with another
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively.

But, God, to a Christian says: No, not until you are satisfied, filled and content with being loved by Me alone with giving yourself totally an unreservedly to Me alone discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you.

You will never be united with one another until you are united with Me. Exclusively for anyone or anything else. Exclusively for any other desires or longings. I want you to stop wishing and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing.

One that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow Me to bring it to you. You must keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I Am, keep learning the things that I want to tell you. You just wait. That's all.

Don't be anxious.
Don't worry.
Don't look around at the things that others have gotten or that I have given them.
Don't look at the things you think you want.

You just keep looking off and away to Me, or you'll miss what I want to show you, and when you are ready I will surprise you with a love more beautiful than you could dream of. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready, You will never be able to experience the great love that is waiting for you (I am working even at this very moment to have both of you ready at the same time)

Until you are both satisfied with Me and the life I've prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is the perfect love.

And dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me and enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, and perfection and love that I offer you with Myself.

Know that I love you utterly. I am God...Believe it and be satisfied.

“Be Still and know that I am God” ~ Psalm 46:10
