We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer over this important and weighty matter.
We have continued to bring your request before the Lord, that He would give grace and wisdom to teach obedience to all that Christ commanded according to Matt 28:20, and that church discipline would be practiced biblically and in love for the sake of salvation and that others would be fearful of sinning and stirred to holiness. We have prayed that the truth that Heaven and Hell are real would be clearly proclaimed, that the Word itself which will judge on the last day according to John 12:48 would be faithfully spoken whether they listen or not according to Ezek 2:5, and that when the steps of Matt 18:17 are needed they would be carried out not to condemn but to restore and to protect the Bride of Christ and keep the disease of sin from spreading.
We know this call to speak the truth in love, regardless of reception or public opinion, is not easy, and we have asked the Lord to strengthen you and those who shepherd to remain Theocentric and faithful to the Great Commission in Matt 28:19, to not pick and choose but to teach everything He commanded, trusting that He is with us even to the end of the age.
If your request was answered and you have seen repentance, restoration, or a renewed commitment to holiness and obedience in your fellowship, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.
We pray in Jesus Name that the Lord will grant discernment, courage, humility and love to all involved, that His Word would accomplish its purpose and that His peace which guards hearts and minds would rest upon you as you trust Him. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
