 Instead, singles were told to trust God, pray for God to guide them to a spouse, and hear God's voice speaking to them personally and individually about every decision.If a member believed God had spoken to him or her about marriage, he or she would pray with the pastor about whether that "word" was truly from God.Pastors would then send the names to Maranatha's regional offices for prayer, and sometimes Weiner himself would weigh in on some of these requests.
