So, about a year ago I was driving home from college and I was a having an incredibly intimate time praising the Lord. I was also listening to a prophecy tape that my church recorded at my high school graduation presbytery. All of a sudden in during my praises and prayers, I felt that Jesus had jumped in the car with me and we began having a simple dialogue about all walks of my life at the time.
I eventually wanted to ask Him about my future wife and He told me her name is Rebecca. Also that we would have 8 kids! Ever since then I’ve been waiting to meet a significant Rebecca at my university or on Facebook through my large network of Christian friends.
Recently I have discovered a Becca amongst mutual friends but I’m terrified of meeting her and ruining the relationship that hasn’t started yet. Anytime I suspect she will be at an event I’m attending, I shy into a corner or don’t show up at all. I don’t want to alter the situation or go ahead of God’s timing. Hopefully, like the story of Isaac and Rebekah in the book of Genesis, she will just show up while I’m worshipping in a field or something.
I plan to just grow personally with the Lord right now while I have no distractions, but I feel anxious and doubtful at the same time. Faith and prayer are all that I can stand on, and I guess His provision is always better than anything I can strive for.
Is it safe to tell my friends and peers? What if it doesn’t come true? Anyone ever heard of this type of spouse revelation/prophecy? Advice or encouragement?
Hi, I think it is okay to make friends with that Becca. Don’t shy yourself away. Not to go ahead of God’s timing is not to stay put and not do anything. Get to know her and be friends with her, see if she is a compatible person for you. Good luck! keep praying (:
Hi, I am one of those people who believe that God has a specific spouse for each one of us, just like He has given us specific talents for a specific career or specific assignments before we are even born (Jer 1v5). Somewhere in revelations, it says God declares the end from the beginning. 1 cor 2v9-10 says that eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it entered the heart of man, the things which God HAS PREPARED for those who love Him (past tense). Most mistakes happen when we expect God to bless our plans, instead of asking His Spirit to reveal His specific plans for us. Prov 19v21 says “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. So what do we need to do? Everything is done in the spirit realm, we just need to depend on the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and to show us things to come as per John 16v13. The key thing though is we must let the peace of God rule, do not be anxious for nothing, do not make this your main focus. Just rest in God and thank Him in faith that He guides you daily, and do not occupy your mind with what He told you because when you are anxious the devil can bring a counterfeit with the same name. Just relax trusting that God is in control, at the right time the Holy Spirit will give you a prompting in your heart when you meet the right Rebeca. All the best!
Dear Mangoman,
I have heard of this spouse revelation/ prophecy from my Christian biological sister. She told me her Christian husband saw her face n their daughter’s face before they were part of his life. Now, they have 2 kids n expecting their third, all worshipping God.
Dear Mangoman,
I realize this is a late response, but God works in mysterious ways after all. My mother stumbled upon your testimony a few weeks ago and made it a point to sit me down and read it to me while I’m on summer break from college. I’m not sure who you are, where you’re from, or if you’ve found your Rebecca, but I do know that you have every reason to believe that it will come true. Sometimes it’s difficult to step out on faith when it comes to matters of the heart, but I know that God works for the good of those who love him and he’ll never lead you astray. You may have already found your Rebecca, but I believe as it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1 “To everything there is a season a time for every purpose under heaven.”
Everything happens for a reason and I believe that it wasn’t just chance that brought my mother to your testimony. If you haven’t found your Rebecca, don’t give up, because God will reveal her to you in his perfect timing.
