Perhaps you have been waiting to pursue something until you feel released by God. Perhaps you’ve been wondering if you should start looking for a new job, if you should start trying to date again after a season of healing, or if you should start dating someone you have only been talking to as a friend.
In humility, we have to submit to the fact that we are not perfect like God. Sometimes we make mistakes in our assessments of relationships. When this occurs, God will lead us to reconsider our original assessment.
Singleness itself is a blessing from God just like marriage is also a blessing from God (1 Corinthians 7:7). So I’m not saying that Satan is happy when a Christian is single. Rather, Satan’s desire is that you miss God’s will and that you choose the opposite of what God wants for you.
Put simply, according to Hebrews 12:7-8, if you are a true Christian – then yes, God is disciplining you because he disciplines all true Christians. But there are seasons in life where God is specifically disciplining us in a more intense way and in a particular area of our life to accomplish a specific purpose.
I’m not saying that if you learn these 5 things then God will instantly reveal the one to you. There are plenty of real-life examples of God putting two Christians together in marriage before they learned these valuable lessons. But because they did not learn these lessons their relationship will be harder and less enjoyable than it needed to be.

“What happened? Why did God let us break up? Why did God let me think this person was the one? Did I do something wrong that made this relationship fail? What was the real reason that person did not want to continue? Why is God letting me so confused about this past relationship?”
Here are 5 things that often happen when someone has misheard the voice of God.
None of us know the future, so it’s not wise to try to predict what will happen. That’s not the point of this article. Rather, here we want to discuss some signs to help you recognize when something more is happening between you and a friend so you don’t miss what God is doing and so you don’t misjudge what God is not doing.
