🕊️Bless Video Times, "Everything God does lasts forever," Ecc 3:14; Holy Spirit's Work to Turn to "Attitude or Wisdom of the Just," Lk 1:17...

[Nochaeld]

Thank You for The Blessed Video Times, "Everything God does lasts forever," Ecc 3:14 Father, it's no small thing that You ended 4+ months of silence and replaced it with some peace and restoration of video time for the well-being of my youngster and I. Thank You for agreement in some important matters -- asking the details we agreed on to be implemented, as You have called us to peace, 1 Cor 7:15. Help us keep our 1st Love 1st, Rev 3:19-20: Fellowship right in between You and Jesus Christ in The Holy Spirit, 2 Cor 13:14, 1 Jn 1:2-3, let us freely receive love and freely dump love on our children. May Your will, words & love be fruitful and evident in times with the youngster, help form a gracious and compassionate view of God, Ex 34:6, may the result be an ability to learn to love God, Mark 12:30, and others, Mark 12:31, yet be brought up in righteousness, Eph 6:4, and gain the salvation given by The Holy Spirit's wisdom found speaking through The Scriptures, 2 Tim 3:15-16.

Practically, we're asking You who created the heavens and the earth, and formed them to be inhabited, Isaiah 45:18, for help monitoring the video time, assist the set hours to be respected so as to be able to accomplish tasks, and that she'd be concerned out of love for the child, Phil 2:1-11, not the money, 1 Tim 6:6-7, and demonstrating honor and respect for Your will Holy Spirit's Work, Jn 16:8, to Turn her to "Attitude or Wisdom of the Just or righteous," Lk 1:17... Prayer Request She Be Hedged with Thorns, Hos 2:6-7, Comes to her Senses and Repents, Luke 15:17-21, and "Stops Sinning SO Nothing Worse Befalls Her," John 5:14...

Help us learn each others' languages, help us both hold our tongues, help us hold nothing against each other, entrusting each other into Your hands, even showing exemplary value and honor before the youngster. We ask IN JESUS' NAME the world to be overruled, the flesh to be subdued and the devil to be restrained, Rev 20:1-2. Grant the ability to turn the disobedient to the attitude or wisdom of the righteous or just, Luke 1:17, which has to do with The Administration of turning hearts back to affection, reverent and softened hearts toward God and authority as evidenced by the ministry of Elijah, "Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and that You have turned their hearts back again," 1 Kings 18:37, (c.f. Malachi 4:6, Luke 1:16-17). For the acquisition of eternal life, overall safety and the prevention of stumbling blocks, we ask grace and wisdom be given to moderate Social Media and dating sites (since we're married). "Adultery" excludes from Kingdom of Heaven, 1 Cor 6:9-11, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, the one who sows to the flesh shall reap destruction," Gal 6:7, "The deeds of the flesh are evident," Gal 5:19-20, and, "Outside are the dogs, the sexually immoral, and those who love to live in (love or practice) a lie," Rev 22:15. Keep her, the youth, me, and us from evil, Matt 6:13, from evil people, 2 Tim 3:13, false believers, 2 Cor 11:26, 2 Thes 3:2, Tit 1:16, hirelings, John 10:13, and the evil one, Jn 17:15. Be Our Good Shepherd, and let us enjoy the eternal life You and The Father Guaranteed by willing laying down Your life for the sheep, John 10:14, John 10:27-30.

We know You can use her pastors, friends and other believers and even family members, dreams, acts of nature, kindness and anything literally on heaven and earth in "leaving the 99 to seek the one lost sheep," Luke 15:4-6, and to lead her "from death, and cover a multitude of sins, James 5:19-20, by Your fervent love, 1 Pet 4:8. We loose the type of discernment spoken of in Phil 1:9-10, discernment to let them see through deceptions, confront sin & hedge her way with thorns so she can’t pursue false idols, Hos 2:6. Grant her repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, for that's the Gospel, Luke 24:46-47, all of Acts -- Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, Acts 26:18-20, 2 Cor 7:9-11.

So, Father, we thank You in one hand for some time together with my son and for the peace to be extended through wisdom, Ecclesiastes 7:18, yet with the other hand,ask she be convicted, Jn 16:8, hedged in with thorns so she can't pursue her lovers, Hos 2:6-7, come to her senses and repent as the prodigal, recognizing sin against both God and others, Lk 15:17-21. We ask You help her facilitate calls so they go more smoothly, Prov 31:12. Keep the boy from temptation, sin's influences through wicked spirits, Eph 6:12-19, and keep them from deception, Matt 24:4-8, sin, 1 Cor 8:1, wrongdoing, 2 Cor 13:7, wrongdoing, fear and lies, Zeph 3:13, imposters and evil people, 2 Tim 3:13, Tit 1:16, 2 Cor 11:26, 2 Thes 3:2, temptation, evil and the evil one, Lk 11:4, Matt 6:13, Jn 17:15, 2 Thes 3:3, Rev 12:9, 1 John 5:18. Thank You in Jesus’ Name, John 14:13-14, Amen, Rev 3:14, 2 Cor 1:20.

We join you in thanking our Father for ending that long season of silence and restoring video time for you and your young son, for this is no small mercy. We agree with you that everything God does lasts forever, Ecclesiastes 3:14, and that what He restores He intends to establish in righteousness and peace. We also rejoice that you have kept your first love first, for He stands at the door and knocks, Revelation 3:20, and our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, 1 John 1:3, in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, 2 Corinthians 13:14. That fellowship is the well from which we freely receive love and freely pour love upon our children.

We pray with you that these video times would bear lasting fruit, that your son would see in them a gracious and compassionate view of God, who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth, Exodus 34:6, and that he would learn to love the Lord his God with all his heart, with all his soul, with all his mind, and with all his strength, Mark 12:30, and to love his neighbor as himself, Mark 12:31. We ask the Lord to help you bring him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, Ephesians 6:4, and that through the Holy Scriptures he would become wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 3:15.

Practically we bring before the Lord who created the heavens and the earth and formed it to be inhabited, Isaiah 45:18, your request for help in monitoring the video time. We ask Him to give both of you grace to respect the set hours, to accomplish necessary tasks, and to do all things decently and in order. We pray that your wife would be moved not by love of money, for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, 1 Timothy 6:10, and godliness with contentment is great gain, 1 Timothy 6:6, but by genuine concern for the child, doing nothing through rivalry or conceit, but in humility counting each other better than yourselves, looking each to the interests of others, Philippians 2:3-4.

We must speak plainly with you about the matter you have rightly named, since you are married, the use of social media and dating sites to seek others is not a small failing but adultery, and we must rebuke it in love. The Scripture is clear that marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, Hebrews 13:4, and that those who practice adultery will not inherit the Kingdom of God unless they repent and are washed and sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Jesus said that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart, Matthew 5:28, and the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are sexual immorality, impurity, lustfulness, Galatians 5:19, and those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God, Galatians 5:21. To sow to the flesh reaps corruption, but to sow to the Spirit reaps eternal life, Galatians 6:7-8, and outside are the sexually immoral and those who love and practice falsehood, Revelation 22:15. We love you both too much to be silent about this, for this is a stumbling block to eternal life and to the safety of your son, and it must be repented of and forsaken.

Therefore we pray as you have asked that the Holy Spirit would convict of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, John 16:8, and do that turning work of which it is written that He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, Luke 1:17, as it is written, Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again, 1 Kings 18:37, that He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, Malachi 4:6. We ask the Lord to hedge her way with thorns as He promised, Behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths, Hosea 2:6, so that she cannot pursue lovers and will return and say, I will go and return to my first husband, Hosea 2:7.

We pray that she would come to herself as the prodigal did and say, I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, Luke 15:18, and bring forth fruit worthy of repentance, Acts 26:20, for God commands all people everywhere to repent, Acts 17:30, and is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, and godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, 2 Corinthians 7:10. We ask that she would stop sinning so that nothing worse happens to her, John 5:14, and that she would do her husband good and not evil all the days of her life, Proverbs 31:12.

We ask the Lord to help you both hold your tongues, for death and life are in the power of the tongue, and to hold nothing against each other but to entrust each other into His hands, showing honor before your youngster, that your prayers may not be hindered. We ask in Jesus name that the world would be overruled, the flesh subdued, and the devil restrained, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, Ephesians 6:12, and we pray that you would be kept from temptation and delivered from evil, Matthew 6:13, kept from the evil one, John 17:15, delivered from unreasonable and evil men, 2 Thessalonians 3:2, and guarded from evil people and impostors who will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived, 2 Timothy 3:13. We pray that your son be kept from deception, for many will come to deceive, Matthew 24:4, and from every form of wrongdoing and lying, Zephaniah 3:13.

We thank God that you have asked all this in Jesus name, for whatever we ask in His name He will do, John 14:13-14, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12, and no one comes to the Father except through Him, John 14:6. We rejoice in Jesus our Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, John 10:11, who knows His sheep and is known by them, John 10:14, and who gives eternal life so that no one will snatch them out of His hand, John 10:28.

So Father, we thank You with one hand for the restored time together and for the peace that wisdom brings, Ecclesiastes 7:18, and with the other hand we cry out for full repentance and restoration of this marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman that honors You. Let social media and every avenue of adultery be moderated and forsaken, let discernment abound that love may abound yet more in knowledge and all discernment, Philippians 1:9, to approve things that are excellent, Philippians 1:10, and let fervent love cover a multitude of sins, 1 Peter 4:8, as You leave the ninety nine to seek the one lost sheep, Luke 15:4, and turn the sinner from the error of his way to save a soul from death, James 5:20. We entrust this wife, this husband, and this precious boy into Your shepherd hands, asking that Your will, Your words, and Your love be evident in every call and every visit, for Your glory and for their eternal good, Amen.

We thank God with you for the restored video time after more than four months of silence. We hear how much that regular connection with your son means to you, and how grateful you are for the bit of peace that has come with it.

We are praying with you to steward these times well, that the hours you have agreed on would be respected so you can care for daily tasks, that calls would go smoothly, and that your son would feel secure, loved, and at ease when you are together. Your desire to keep Jesus first and to show your son what gracious love looks like is a steady place to stay, even when communication is hard.

It can help to keep things simple and consistent right now. Keep communication brief, kind and focused on your son, keep a clear written note of what you have both agreed to about times, and stay connected to a trusted pastor or mentor who knows you and can offer steady personal wisdom as you navigate next decisions.

We are also carrying your concern for your wife and your desire for truth and peace to shape your home, and we are praying for protection for you and your boy from confusion and harm.

Father, we thank You for the peace You have given after a long silence and for these times with his son. Guard that time, give wisdom for words and boundaries, keep this young boy safe, and lead each heart toward You in Your kindness and truth. Give this dad strength to love well and to entrust what he cannot control into Your hands. In Jesus name, Amen.

 

[Sproymere]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

There is cause for thanksgiving in what you have laid before the Lord, and we join you in it. That after more than four months of silence the Lord has granted a measure of peace and the restoration of video time for you and your youngster is a mercy, and we pray with you that what God does, which lasts forever, Ecclesiastes 3:14, may be seen in this. We thank God with you for agreement in important matters and ask that what has been agreed upon may be implemented in honesty and in peace, as God has called us to peace, and that your first Love may be kept first, that your fellowship may be truly with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, and that love freely received may be freely poured upon your children.

We pray that the Lord who created the heavens and the earth to be inhabited will help you to order these video times with wisdom, that set hours may be respected so that needful tasks may be accomplished, and that all that is done before the eyes of the child may form in him a gracious and compassionate view of God, who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and may lead him to love God with all his heart and his neighbor as himself, to be brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and to gain that wisdom unto salvation which is found speaking through the Scriptures.

Your burden for your wife is heard, and we take it seriously before God. You have prayed that she may be hedged with thorns that she cannot pursue false lovers, that she may come to herself and repent, that she may stop sinning lest something worse befall her. We pray with you for this, but we must put the matter as the Scriptures put it. There is a repentance that is of the flesh, wrought by judgment and fear, which does not give God glory and does not save. And there is a repentance unto life, which is the gift of God in the name of Jesus Christ, wrought by the Holy Spirit in the renewed heart, which ejects sin as an evil tenant and admits Christ to be sole Master, which purges dead works and fills the soul with living works, which gives God glory. Scales are before us to weigh repentance, and true repentance gives God glory, looks out of self to Christ and to Christ only, and yields works meet for repentance. It is practical and it lasts. It lives as long as faith lives, for sweet sister Repentance is charming company and does not leave us at the gate.

Therefore we do not pray for a carnal sorrow only, but that God in His goodness would lead her to repentance. The Lord does not merely drive men as Cain was driven, but draws them. His goodness is meant to lead to repentance. We pray that the Lord would grant her repentance, for repentance and remission of sins are to be preached in His name and are joined together where the one is found the other is not far. Where there is true godly sorrow that needs not to be repented of, there is full and free forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. As Peter was restored not by a crowing bird alone but by the look of the Lord which broke his heart with a bitter, salutary, saving repentance, so we pray the Lord would look upon her and turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, turning hearts back again as in the ministry of Elijah, that this people may know that the Lord He is God.

In this we must be plain as the Scriptures are plain. Marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and all sexual intimacy and cohabitation belong within it. To pursue social media and dating sites while married, to sow to the flesh in adultery or in the love of a lie, is to walk in deeds of the flesh which are evident and which, unrepented, exclude from the Kingdom of Heaven. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. We cannot ask God to bless what He calls sin. We ask Him to convict of sin, righteousness and judgment by His Spirit, to open eyes to deception, to hedge the way with thorns, and to grant a turning that is unto life.

We pray also for you, that you may learn one another's language, hold your tongue, hold nothing against one another but entrust one another into His hands, showing exemplary value and honor before your youngster. We ask that the world may be overruled, the flesh subdued and the devil restrained. We pray that the Lord will keep you, your wife and your son from evil, from evil people, from false brethren and hirelings, and from the evil one, and that He will be your Good Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep and keeps them so that none shall pluck them out of His hand. May He use, as He pleases, pastors, friends, believers, family, even dreams and kindnesses and providences, as a shepherd leaving the ninety and nine to seek the one lost sheep, to lead the wanderer from death and cover a multitude of sins.

For your own soul and for your son, we pray for that perfect peace which belongs to him whose mind is stayed on God because he trusts in Him. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within, and to do the will of Jesus is rest even when duties press and sorrows surge and loved ones are far away. Keep your mind stayed upon Him, and He will keep you. Pray for your wife, pray for your child, and pray for yourself that you may have a broken and contrite heart which God will not despise, and that having peace with God you may then pray, Do good in Your good pleasure unto Zion.

We will continue to entreat the Lord with you that calls may be facilitated and go more smoothly, that the boy may be kept from temptation and from the influences of wicked spirits and from deception and fear and lies, and that grace and wisdom may be given to moderate all use of social media and to put away every provision for the flesh. May the Lord grant you discernment and love abounding in knowledge, that you may approve what is excellent, and may He cause what you have begun in peace to be established in righteousness, to the glory of His name through Jesus Christ our Lord, in whom alone is salvation. Amen.
