Beliefs Matter. What are you projecting to potential dates or mates?

To be fully authentic in dating and ultimately marriage, we need to be able to project who we truly are to those we are doing life with. What are you projecting to potential dates or mates? Good beliefs about dating and relationships can lead to a very successful relationship as well as making the process much more enjoyable. Bad beliefs about dating and relationships can lead to hopelessness, short circuiting relationships, or not even being able to enter one, or at least a healthy one.  Two people partnered in marriage who believe well about God, life and circumstances can rock the planet for Him.  That’s what I’m believing for in this generation of marriages.

What we believe about ourselves and God at an internal level is what we project out to those we come into contact with. The best way to project who you really are to those around you is to truly believe it. Practically, I believe one of the simplest ways of cultivating these beliefs is to declare truth over yourself.  ‘Faith comes by hearing…’ Romans 10:17

Is there an area in regards to dating or marriage that you feel hopeless about? As one of my greatest mentors Steve Backlund  says, ‘Your hopelessness about a problem is a bigger problem than the problem.’ It is good to recognize lies that you may be believing that could be holding you back from walking into an amazing relationship.

Do you tend to think or speak out that you never meet any great prospects? Do thoughts about yourself being unworthy or lacking what it takes to be in a relationship enter your daily world? Are past disappointments in relationships holding you captive by allowing you to think that things will never change?

Believing you aren’t worthy projects insecurities and attracts the like. Thoughts that include a lack of options for you or  believing that you’re getting too old to meet someone amazing can project out as desperation. These are all lies. We are precious children of a limitless God; He is big enough to move any mountain and has given us a part to play in that. You are valuable at any age, and there is always hope. One practical way to combat lies and move a mountain is to declare truth over yourself and to that mountain.

As in anything, this can be a daily process. I still make declarations over myself and my situation.  When I was a single woman, I used some of the declarations that you’ll read below in times when I felt hopeless or knew I needed to move forward in an area. Are you doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? What are you projecting to potential dates or mates? Possibly its time for a change. God created you unique, beautiful and in His image.  As his child, you inherited all that He has.  What an incredible place to live from!

I would encourage you to you to take the 5 declarations below and speak them over yourself daily (or hourly as needed) for the next 30 days or until you feel that you live from that belief.  If there are others that God shows you, feel free to add those and omit any that I have that don’t fit for you.

Not only do I believe they will change how you think about yourself, but I believe as you do, you will see a difference in what you attract as you begin to believe what God says about you as His child. God partners with our words to create the world we live in.  ‘Life and death are in the power of the tongue.’  Proverbs 18:21

Ladies first:

  1. I am a desirable woman and worth pursuit.
  2. I am open, warm and inviting; attracting high quality marriage minded men.
  3. God is setting me up to have an incredible, long lasting and fulfilling marriage relationship.
  4. I am able to live from my heart thus attracting true love into my life.
  5. It’s easy for me to meet the man of my dreams, fall in love and get married.

And now, for the Gentlemen:

  1. I have what it takes to pursue and lead a Godly woman.
  2. I am strong, confidant and ready to meet a quality woman.
  3. I know who I am, what I want and where I’m heading.
  4. I am in touch with how I feel and am able to communicate well in relationships.
