So my boyfriend of almost a year came up to me last night and said he was starting to think that God didn't want him in the relationship. Obviously I was shocked and hurt, but more confused. Our relationship is very biblical, we are both strong Christians, and I strongly believe God approves. There are no red flags. (We did at one point get caught in lust but we've been working at it.) we're taking a week break now and at the end of that week I'll get back to him to see what he decides is the right choice for him. I'm super anxious about it because I desperately want to stay with him, this isn't like my past relationships, everything about him is perfect for me. (And I mean that, I'm not blinded by love.) :) I never thought trusting God would be this hard! I could trust him with anything else but this... :/ prayers would be greatly appreciated, along with any advice anyone has. Thanks! :)

Did he give any reason or hints why?
I'm praying for your peace and comfort...

Thank you :) and he just said that he felt a small voice in his head saying no. But at the same time he overthinks things so he may have just thought of it himself..?

Yes, it could have been just him, or something on the left... I'd test the spirit before believing it, as God recommends us to.
If a spirit does not confess Jesus is Lord, then it is not of God.

How would you test to see if it's really God?

Aww... I know what you mean by trusting God with everything but not "this". I'm experiencing relationship problems too right now. In my case my bf is not in speaking terms with me and it's been a week now. I'm praying for God to touch his heart so he can forgive me (I had doubts about him and he took offense). I don't know if I should wait for him to contact me back but at the same time I'm hurt and now I'm thinking of starting to move on. Contact me if you want so we can pray for each other.

Aww I'm so sorry!! I've been there too. Don't give up, keep praying for God to soften his heart like He did with Pharaoh. I'll definitely pray for you. How long have you guys been together?

The same situation actually happened to me and my bf. Some guys just need longer to cool off. Don't give up just yet :)

You can trust God with ANYTHING, even this relationship. And only God knows if it's whats right for BOTH of you right now. :)

Well we're turning a year next week and it saddens me that he's still not talking to me. I must have hurt his ego for having doubts on him. I apologized but it feels like I'm hitting a wall with this one. He had relationship problems before but I don't want to give him up. He's not Christian but we get along very well. Ever since I started dating him last year, I've been praying to God that He use me so I can bring my bf to His grace. Now I feel like I lost that chance and I've made him at me. I don't know what to do when someone becomes silent on me. I'm used to confrontation but not this.

I'll pray for you too. I know how much it hurts when you're trying to hold on but the other person is kind of wavering.

As much as I feel for you in this situation, Charlemagne, maybe this is God's way of preventing a relationship with an unbeliever. I've heard too many horror stories of people trying to "missionary date" and it goes wrong. Now I know nothing of your particular situation- have you made any progress with him?

I also feel the pain of being so close to a year and having it stalled like this :(

How would you test to see if it's really God?
There's a few ways to test. It is God if the spirit is:
...bringing up a Bible verse in your heart to instruct you. (some people though twist the Bible; but normally, this will be God's way of talking)
...bringing up instruction to you that you later find in the Bible but didnt know it was there (Word of knowledge).
...reflecting everything the Bible says about God.
...instructing you with prophetic purpose: encouragement, comfort and admonishment.

If still unsure what you are hearing, enter into prayer and then wait and be still until you feel the presence of this spirit. Ask the spirit "is Jesus Lord?" or "did Jesus Christ come in flesh?"
Demons will not confess Jesus as Lord because they are children of rebellion and rebel against His lordship (Psalms 2:3).
They will also not confess that He's come in the flesh.
1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:

Note that the Bible says "Every spirit that does not confess" which includes staying silent, so the confession must be positive. Once I sensed something odd on prayer and when I tested the spirit it happened that demons yelled "nooooo" in choir to my bafflement. I know from testimonies of my friends that this is one of accurate ways to test the spirit. There might be more ways - this is just what I have been taught.

If he's not a Christian maybe it is best he doesn't get back to you? The Bible is clear on relationships with non Christians.

" There are no red flags. " (caught in lust)

There are: He got another way to do it (without you).

Yet you admited this: "...because I desperately want to stay with him..."

That´s it!

I suppose you're right. But through the grace of God alone we haven't gone back to that life of sexual temptation.
