Then the LORD said to me, ‘The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own minds’<\/em>” (Jeremiah 14:14). She cannot prove that her ideas came from God, though God in the past gave evidence when He spoke through the prophets.<\/p>\nThough she is blaming God, understand that this is her choice. You can’t force her to make good choices. If she does not want to marry you, it is time to move on. Next time, do things God’s way and leave sex for after marriage. Then you will not have as many problems.<\/p>\n\t
