Fold greatly my dating apps WORK greatly for me Loosen Verse DEUT 28:13 IM THE HEAD NOT THE TAIL WITH DATING MY APPS DONT CRASH WHEN IM TRYING TO FIND A MATCH GREATLY FOR ME NOW EVER AGAIN WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS
We join together with you in prayer and we appreciate your desire to see God's blessing in your life, though we want to lovingly bring some correction and biblical clarity to how you are approaching this area of dating and scripture.
You have quoted Deuteronomy 28:13 which says Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail, and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God. We want to gently rebuke the way this verse is being used as if it is a formula to loosen or to speak into existence success on dating apps or to guarantee that technology will not crash. In context Deuteronomy 28:1-14 shows that this blessing was part of the covenant with Israel and it was conditional upon diligently obeying the voice of God and keeping His commandments. It is not a magical incantation we declare to get one hundred fold dating matches, and the blood of Jesus is not a charm to make apps work. The blood of Jesus was shed for the forgiveness of our sins and to reconcile us to God, as Ephesians 1:7 tells us in him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses. We are to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness and then all these things will be added to you as Matthew 6:33 promises, not seek first our own desires and then command God to serve them. James 4:3 also warns you ask and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
We also want to address your view of dating itself. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman as God designed from the beginning, and Hebrews 13:4 says let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled. Dating apps are not sinful in themselves, but if they are used for casual dating, casual relationships, or to seek a partner without the goal of godly marriage, that does not align with biblical principles. We encourage you to see this season not as dating for its own sake but as courtship with the clear goal of finding a Christian believing spouse for marriage. We must also warn that much of the dating app culture promotes fornication, which is sex before or outside of marriage, and 1 Corinthians 6:18 tells us to flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. We urge you to commit to purity and to seek someone who is a believer, for 2 Corinthians 6:14 asks what fellowship has light with darkness and warns us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
Our prayer is not primarily that an app never crashes, though we understand the frustration of technology failing, but that your heart would be fully aligned with God's will for your future marriage. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Psalm 37:4 says delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart when those desires are shaped by Him.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Your mercy and for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin. We lift up this dear one to You and ask that You forgive any misuse of Your Word and any attempt to use Your name as a formula, and teach them to rightly handle Your truth as 2 Timothy 2:15 instructs. We pray that You would give them a heart that delights in obeying You and walking in Your ways, so that they may experience true blessing which is far greater than success on an app. We ask that You guard their heart in the area of relationships, that they would flee from fornication and pursue holiness, and that if it is Your will for them to marry, You would lead them to a godly Christian spouse of the opposite sex for a lifelong marriage that honors You. Give them wisdom and discernment in using technology, help them to use dating apps if at all with integrity and purity and with marriage as the goal, and help them to trust You even when plans or apps do not work as they hope. We pray that their ultimate confidence would not be in speaking things into existence but in Your sovereign will and Your goodness, and that they would seek You first above all. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.

We're grateful you shared this thanksgiving with us. We hear how much you want dating to go well and how frustrating it is when technology gets in the way, and we appreciate your desire to speak life and trust God with this part of your life.
We love that you are holding onto God's promise to be with you and to lead you. As you keep praying Deuteronomy 28:13, we encourage you to also ask God to shape your hopes for dating according to His will, not just for smooth apps but for wisdom, clarity and peace as you meet people.
One simple step that helps many people is to pause before you swipe or message and pray briefly for discernment, asking God to help you see character and to be the kind of person you hope to find. Talking with a trusted pastor or mature friend about what you are looking for can also bring good perspective and accountability.
Father, we thank You for this heart that wants to trust You. We ask for Your guidance in dating, for peace when things are frustrating and for wisdom to make choices that honor You. Lead step by step and help trust to grow deeper in You. In Jesus' name, amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
We have heard your request and we take it to the Lord with sincere care for your soul.
You have quoted the promise that you shall be the head and not the tail, and you have asked that your dating apps would work and not fail you. Hear what that word truly means. In Deuteronomy the Lord spoke to His covenant people that if they hearkened diligently to His voice and kept His commandments, He would bless their obedience. That promise finds its full meaning not in the smooth working of any device, but in a heart made obedient through faith in Christ. To speak a life into existence by our own words is not the way of Scripture. Our hope is not in declarations we make, but in the sovereign grace of God who hears us for Christ's sake.
And the precious blood of Jesus was not shed to secure convenience in earthly pursuits, but to redeem sinners from sin and to reconcile us to God. Sin is found everywhere, in our thoughts and words and deeds, and we need that blood to cleanse us and to bring us near to God. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, who loved His Church and gave Himself for it. If you have not yet found Him as your Saviour, we urge you to seek Him above all else. Is your heart set upon finding Christ, or are you merely trifling with Him. For He is the Bridegroom who has made a household whereof He is the Husband and His Church the spouse, and His love to His spouse is something special and particular, to be given to no other. That love is the pattern for Christian marriage.
Marriage, as God ordained it, is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and it bears witness to the union between Christ and His people. The husband's love to his spouse is to stand quite alone and all by itself, given to her only. Therefore any seeking of companionship must be ordered by holiness, purity and truth, with sex and living together belonging only within that covenant. The Lord is not honored when we ask Him to bless casual or impure relationships, and we cannot ask Him to prosper what does not accord with His holy will.
So we will pray for what is best for you. We ask the Lord to show you Christ and to draw you to trust Him alone for salvation. We ask Him to give you a heart that desires His will more than any earthly match, to keep you pure in thought and conduct, and to grant you contentment in Him whether He leads you to marriage or to serve Him in singleness. If it be His will to give you a wife or a husband, we pray it may be a godly companion with whom you may walk in faith, following the road in which godly principles would conduct you, and that your union, if He gives it, may reflect the faithful love of Christ to His Church. We pray also that you may be delivered from trusting in apps or in circumstances, and may rest in the care of the great Shepherd who seeks and finds His sheep and will not cease until He brings them home.
May the Lord grant you grace to seek first His kingdom, and to find in Christ all that your soul truly needs.
