At long last, I have found love!

WARNING: SUPER-LONG STORY AHEAD!!!!!

To love somebody and be loved in return is something I have desired, longed for, yearned for and pined for since I was a small child. But for as much as I wanted it, I was the teenager who had to watch all the other teenagers getting in and out of relationships seemingly at the drop of a hat, whereas whenever I tried to pursue a person of interest, either she was already taken, she wasn't attracted to me, I would get "friendzoned" or I just couldn't keep her attention long enough to say so. And I thought when I got into my twenties, then maybe, just maybe, this bullshit would stop...but NOPE!

Year after year of disappointments and heartbreaks would pass before I finally got fed up with it last year, saying to the Good Lord: "I am sick and tired of chipping and chiseling away at a good future for my life all on my own...I'm sick and tired of watching person after person in my age bracket get to experience and enjoy this blessing and asking "Why can't that be me?"...I'm sick and tired of wondering how I'm supposed to even recognize the right woman when she finally DOES come into my life...and I'm REALLY sick and tired of all those overtly-cute/attractive women I take an interest in always treating me like a PISS-ON!!!"

Was it luck, fate or coincidence? Certainly NONE of this things! This was the result of countless prayers sent up to the Most High God Himself, but also my persistent efforts to arrive at this point. Obviously, if you are a Christian who wants a partner, you have to trust God that He knows what He's doing and have faith that this blessing is indeed what He has in store for you, but as the NIV translation of James 2:17 says: "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

PROSPERITY GOSPEL/WORD-OF-FAITH CRITICS BEWARE (if you are offended by that sort of thing, you may NOT want to read on!)

If I am being fully candid, I put the principle of "seed-faith" into action as well as used the power of positive confession to get here. The principle of seed-faith can be found in Genesis 8:22, which reads:

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."

So, how does the principle of seed-faith work? Like this:

Let's be clear on one thing: MIRACLES FROM GOD ARE NOT FOR SALE...BUT trusting God with a significant portion of your finances DOES move you into a position to receive MORE of the supernatural, miracle-working power of Jesus Christ in your life. We must also remember what John said in God's Word regarding Jesus: "if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us. And if we know he hears us, then, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desire of Him." (1st John Chapter 5, verses 14 + 15)

Back in February of last year, I gave a financial gift of $145 to Hagee Ministries with a note attached to it, saying "I dedicate this gift as a faith-seed to finding the perfect woman that God has for me in the body of Christ before 2021 ends."

It did not happen right away...BUT I didn't lose faith! In fact, there were several moments in my prayer/meditation sessions with God in the mornings wherein I would get incredibly excited about the upcoming harvest from my faith seed springing forth, even though it had NOT sprung forth yet!

As for "the power of positive confession", the friends of Job were among the first to describe this in Job 22:28, wherein they told him in the midst of his great plight: "Thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee, and the light shall shine upon thy ways."

Remembering this scripture, I started saying: "According to the words of Job 22:28, I am making this DECREE over my life right here, right now, TODAY that I am DONE being a solitary man, I am THROUGH with being a single unit, I am FINISHED being a party of one and that my days of walking alone in this life are OVER. From this day forward, David Torok officially walks as a TWOSOME with that lovely and extraordinary woman of God that You have for him, Lord Jesus - in your awesome and mighty name, Amen!"

April passed, May passed and June passed without any results. Then in July, I happened to be sitting on my deck one night, drinking Smirnoff Ice beverages while listening to Frank Sinatra Jr. I also happened to be using Facebook Dating, swiping through profile after profile of women looking for a date before eventually the pretty face you see next to me in these photographs finally appeared on my phone screen.

We matched with each other. After two days of messaging back and forth, we video chatted. We went from video chatting almost every night to finally meeting up in person in the first week of August, which was a SMASHING success. The rest is history. THIS is the manifestation of the harvest from the faith-seed I sowed seventeen months ago!

I feel so blessed and thankful to have this AMAZING woman of God in my life. She is a total sweetheart, intelligent, mature, loyal, honest, empathetic, sympathetic and supportive in every sense of all those words. With all of that being said, guys, the moral of this long-ass story is this: NEVER give up on the things you want most out of life and if you just have faith, take action on your faith and obey God, you WILL get them!

The two of us have been married since March of this year and to say I am looking forward to the future and excited for every moment of it would be an understatement ❤️❤️❤️❤️ To the Lord God of Israel and Jesus Christ of Nazareth be all the glory, honor and praise...in Jesus' name, AMEN!
