Love is a divine journey—one woven with signs, synchronicities, and sacred numbers that whisper to your soul when your heart can’t hear your mind. Whether you’re in the tender beginnings of a crush, deep in the glow of connection, grieving a breakup, or sensing the stirring of reconciliation, the Universe speaks in angel numbers .
Respectfully, what verse are you basing your Angel Number view on? As Christians, we are concerned what God has taught us in his holy word, not in what [other entities of] the “Universe” might be disclosing in happenstance, number occurrences. I counter that faith, not divination, is the main component for every stage of love.
“Angel numbers are part of numerology. Numerology goes directly against the Bible since numerology is trying to tell the future. God tells us not to be a part of fortune-telling as He says,
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God (Deuteronomy 18:10-13)”
Hi,
First “loves” tend to be crushes.
So is that love or lust?
What is the difference?
How do I know that what I am feeling is really love?
You have a good start to a deep and meaningful discussion.
Keep going with it.
Blessings
This feels like spam. It might be what the young people call a “thirst trap.” Its for people thirsty for love looking for answers to click on.
I am not making the connection between faith and love. I don’t believe you have to have faith in order to love or be loved. Unconditional love is a choice. And a bond of love between two individuals is grown from interaction, and building trust, and nourishing each other in various ways. It comes from the commitment to be as one body working for the good of both or all the people who are bonded or bonding together as a unit.
But you do not need this bond in order to show unconditional love to another person because unconditional love does not stem from a reason or a personal motivation like the return of love, intimacy, affection, or to avoid being lonely.
It is a choice to be kind and accepting when you will get nothing in return. It stems from who you have become rather than who that other person is- you have chosen to adopt them, maybe even to adopt the whole world if your heart has grown to such a capacity.
You have chosen to be as a caregiver for them even though they may despise you, taking on the pursuit of the good of the whole thing as Christ did. To be a surrogate, as Joseph was for Jesus, to be a human who parents or intervines for God in this world for His Creation, or to let God work through you as the Holy Spirit IS everything that is actually Love. And if love motivates you, than that must be the Holy Spirit working in your heart to do God’s Will.
A parent begins bonding with their child during the pregnancy and shortly after. The mother first, the father second. The investment in the child’s welfare produces that bond. The intimacy of being with this little life as it grows into something more, keeping both the child alive and all the potential for the future that it carries. Doing this while knowing that it came through you, and that this child is a part of you, literally a piece of you that broke off and went on to join another part of someone else to become another life seperate from yourself.
God, who we call Father and Creator, brought forth Life and invested a great deal in its well being. Is it hard to make the parental connection on why God loves us?
Not sure where faith would play a role. But definitely not divination. Even if you could find the needle in the haystack, it wont mean anything without the commitment to the rest. Love is an ongoing process, an unending choice. The attraction might be there, but attraction is neither a love bond nor a choice to love unconditionally. Peacock feathers do not make a nest.
As for the rest… Christ Himself was accused of having a demon. He performed miracles and raised the dead. Joseph interpreted dreams, the Prophets had visions and messages of things to come. Some in Israel were called Seers, others Wise Women.
There was also the practice of drawing lots to figure out Divine Will, and Elijah calling fire from heaven, not to mention Moses having to lift his arms so that the Israelites could win a fight, and remember the horns that were played to bring down the walls of Jerico. (Why did God need for these humans to do anything in order to move at all? Couldn’t God have done the miracles without the show for effect?)
And some people, past and present, practice rituals, Mysticism, in the name of God. They may take Hebrews 5:12-14 to mean there is more to learn and grow into than what you can find in the church on Sunday morning. Amd some people define “God” as different things…
John 14:12 states, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”.
But what Christians are raising the dead? Or flying in the sky? Or instantly healing the sick. Or transporting from one place to the next? Or vanishing before our eyes? Christians should be capable of much more than what they are currently doing… So is Scripture wrong or is there a lack of faith or are we going to come up with some excuse to step sideways? Or is there something more somewhere to know that is not being passed on to us?
I believe the key here is- what is the Source? What is the nature of what is being done? Why is it being done?
We know the Holy Spirit by its fruit. Christ is our compass. And we need that compass because there is A LOT going on right now in our world. It is easy to be lead the wrong way if you don’t have an anchor, or a goood solid foundation.
But what can you be practicing that will take you deeper than you have gone so far, that wont lead you away from God but allow your understanding to blossom and your comnection to grow. Not something for baby Christians to pursue that is for sure.
@Joe, after 56 years married to my late wife and almost 5 years as a widower, I agree that first loves are crushes, but real love develops overtime into commitment, not primarily emotion, to each other and hopefully to God. It is that kind of love as God’s gift which carried us through the death of our second child, my seven years of major depression, and my chronic physical pain.
Real love is a daily decision to commit ourselves to God and each other within marriage.
Eph 5:21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
Eph 5:24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…
@ZLH123 seems to imply a person can devine relationship advice from Angel Numbers and hence the intentions of the Universe. I feel that our faith in God should be the rock we go to when we have relationship problems:
Closure… as grieving a breakup, or sensing the stirring of reconciliation
After the crush phase, working on building a faith-based relationship is more important than turning to fortune-telling for the likelihood of happiness or break-up.
Speaking for myself from experience and if my children would like my advice, as well. (they should this)
God Bless All of You,
But what is a “FAITH BASED” relationship? Please explain what this means to you.
A relationship can include a focus on faith. You can incorporate the lessons that you learn in your religion to make your relationship stronger. You can both have faith in God at the same time as you meet challenges together.
But a relationship is not based on faith in things unseen. It is based on faithfulness. It is based on commitment, dedication, mutual respect, and the time and energy and focus spent between just the two of you.
Marriage is a seperate commitment from your commitment to God that must not be neglected for God anymore than God should be neglected for the marriage. While your faithfulness to your spouse is also a reflection of your faithfulness to God, you cannot spend quality time focussing on God together and say you were focussed on each other. You are growong your relationship with God in that moment, but how did you grow closer with each other?
@Tillman Do you need relationship advice? lol-start a new topic in Relationships. I want to stay on the topic presented. We are in a Christian forum & looking to Angel Numbers for guidance is not the way to get help in a troubled marriage.
A faith-based marriage is where both husband & wife believe in God not a Universe-powered crap-shoot, are evenly yoked*, and where the Lord is the 1st priority; He can rescue any marriage. “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).
