️ Church, Family Intervene Mt 18:16-17, Convict Jn 16:8, Hedge w/Thorns Ho 2:6, Clarity, Avoids Evil Men 2 Tim 3:5, Inner Healing Isa 1:6 Ps 23:1-6, Stops Sinning, Knowledge of God, 1 Cor 8:1, Prov 9:10, Prov 8:13... Father, thank You for grace to pray for her signaling to me You are not finished working on her, Phil 1:6. Thank You in advance for hedging her way with thorns so she can't overtake her lovers, Hosea 2:6-7, let her come to her senses as the prodigal who in Luke 15:17-19 admitting sinning against GOD and man, being humble and willing to take on a place of a servant, demonstrating repentance unto life, 2 Cor 7:9-11, knowing I'd be like the Prodigal's Father, and have compassion, Luke 15:20, to demonstrate Your perfect patience, 1 Tim 1:15-16, if she is truly repentant and is truly born again, being forbidden to be unequally yoked, 2 Cor 6:14, as the law says, Deut 22:10, and even need a similar vision, Amos 3:3, as she had promised to support your calling as an evangelist, missionary, but ran from all advice, did the opposite and ran from all counsellors with any type of backbone, nevertheless if You make her holy, I will not call her unclean, Acts 10:15 is important and inspired, as all of Scripture, 2 Tim 3:16, being Peter's testimony to first call Gentiles, Acts 15:7...

Nevertheless, such patience we regard as kindness intended to lead us to repentance from sin, Rom 2:4, since You are not willing that any should perish, but rather all would come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, since there will be wrath and tribulation for every soul that does evil, Rom 2:9. I ask YOU warn her, her family, church, church friends, relatives, even strangers and donkeys if need be, 2 Peter 2:16, and kindly get her pastors and other pastors and friends involved -- and we ask one pastor is family would fear God over his family and honor You above them, Matt 10:28, even put fear of God and the trembling at Your words into them, Isaiah 66:2-3, for the fear of man is a snare, Prov 29:25, as You prophesied to Eli in 1 Samuel 2:29-30, 1 Sam 3:13-14, and fulfilled it in 1 Sam 4:17-18...

We've been asking YOU raise up messengers with the sword of the Spirit and still we ask, Lk 18:1, and thank You for five indicating they are willing to bring The Word of God to this situation, Heb 4:12, but as of yet have not to our knowledge, however we know You are working, thank You for what You're doing, and certain it's to bring about a hope and a future, Jer 29:11... Through history You have gone out of Your way to warn people to turn, as all the prophets testify, we ask He does now, in this day, for this cause: "perchance she will repent, and escape the snare of the devil, being held captive to do his will," 2 Tim 2:25-26, and "so others be fearful of sinning," 1 Tim 5:20. Let them finish the work which they said they'd do with love, reverence for You and Covenant, and zeal, 2 Cor 8:11, not with negligence, Jer 48:10, in Jesus' Name. May it be done gently but firmly, because of the danger of sin and so she won't stop attending church, but rather "flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart," 2 Tim 2:22. Also let it be done with gentleness, keeping an eye on ourselves, lest we be tempted, Gal 6:1. Thank You in advance, Mk 11:24, in Jesus' Name.

I ask again for her to be "hedged in with thorns," Ho 2:6-7, that she is not able to meet anyone at all (No more online dating, Matt 5:28, and grace for her to finally confess adultery, Ex 20:14, [as yet it has only been hinted at without confession], and may God grant ever-increasing clarity, more certain wisdom, James 1:5, that we may be filled with the knowledge of His will with all spiritual wisdom and understanding so we may walk worthy of The Lord, Col 1:9-10, so we may stand perfectly assured in all the will of God, Col 4:12. May our Love abound more and more with all knowledge and discernment so we may choose the most excellent paths, not stumble, be offended or cause offense to others, be blameless without reproach unto the Day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness, to the glory and praise of God, Phil 1:9-11, and who knows what's next? 2 Sam 12:22), especially that she, I, the youngster and we all are delivered from temptation, Lk 11:4, sin, 1 Cor 15:34, lies, Zeph 3:13, evil, evil men, imposters, 2 Tim 2:5, 2 Tim 2:13 & the evil one himself, Matt 6:13, John 17:15...

 

[Articles]

We join you in this burden before the Lord and we thank God for the grace He has given you to continue praying for ###, for this itself is a sign of His mercy at work. We are encouraged that you are praying according to Scripture and seeking God's will and not merely your own desire, and that you have prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved as Acts 4:12 declares, and as Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, He is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him.

We hear your heart for biblical intervention and we stand with you for the church and family to obey Matthew 18:16-17, to go to her in love and truth with witnesses and to tell it to the church if she will not hear, not to shame her but to win her. We agree with you that only the Holy Spirit can bring true conviction as John 16:8 promises, that He will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment, and we ask with you that God would hedge her way with thorns as in Hos 2:6-7 so that she cannot overtake her lovers and though she seeks them she will not find them, that she would be blocked from every path of adultery and fornication and from the snare of online dating which in the heart is already adultery as Jesus warned in Matt 5:28.

We must speak plainly about the sin you have described, for adultery is forbidden by God in Ex 20:14 and all sexual intimacy outside the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman is sin, whether it is called adultery when a marriage covenant is broken or fornication when it is outside marriage, and it must be confessed and forsaken. God calls us to flee sexual immorality in 1 Cor 6:18 and to flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart as 2 Tim 2:22 teaches. We also agree that any future courtship or consideration of marriage must be only with a truly born again believer, for we must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers as 2 Cor 6:14 commands and as Deut 22:10 illustrates, and two cannot walk together unless they are agreed as Amos 3:3 says. A godly marriage is a lifelong covenant before God between a man and a woman and we pray not for a mere relationship or partner but for a holy marriage if it be God's will, and that both would share the same calling and vision to serve the Lord. We affirm your desire to show the compassion of the father of the prodigal in Luke 15:20 and the patience described in 1 Tim 1:16, yet we also affirm your wisdom that such compassion is only fitting if there is true repentance unto life as described in 2 Cor 7:10-11, a humble admission of sinning against God and man as in Luke 15:18-19, willing even to take the place of a servant, and bearing fruit in keeping with repentance. If God makes her holy we will not call her unclean as Acts 10:15 teaches, but we cannot call holy what God has not cleansed, for all Scripture is inspired as 2 Tim 3:16 declares.

We share your concern that her family and her pastors would fear God rather than man, for the fear of man is a snare as Prov 29:25 warns, and we are to fear Him who can destroy both soul and body as Matt 10:28 says, and to tremble at His word as Isa 66:2 says. We remember the warning to Eli in 1 Sam 2:29-30 and 1 Sam 3:13-14 and its fulfillment in 1 Sam 4:17-18 that those who honor God He will honor and those who despise Him shall be lightly esteemed, and so we pray that every pastor, family member, and friend who has said they would speak would now finish the work they said they would do with love, reverence for God and His covenant, and zeal as 2 Cor 8:11 exhorts, and not do the work of the Lord negligently as Jer 48:10 warns. We thank God with you for the five who have indicated willingness to bring the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God as Heb 4:12 describes, and we continue to ask with importunity as Luke 18:1 teaches, that God would raise up messengers even if He must use strangers or as He opened the mouth of the donkey in 2 Pet 2:16 to warn.

We also pray for clarity and wisdom for you both, for God promises in James 1:5 that if anyone lacks wisdom to ask of Him who gives liberally, and that we may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk worthily of the Lord as Col 1:9-10 says and to stand fully assured in all the will of God as Col 4:12 says, and that love may abound more and more in knowledge and discernment to approve the most excellent things and be blameless unto the day of Christ as Phil 1:9-11 teaches. We pray that knowledge would not merely puff up as 1 Cor 8:1 warns but that the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom as Prov 9:10 says and to depart from evil as Prov 8:13 defines would mark her and you and the young one you mentioned. We pray for inner healing for wounds described in Isa 1:6, that the Lord as our Shepherd would restore the soul as Ps 23:1-3 promises, and that she would turn from evil men and impostors and have nothing to do with them as 2 Tim 3:5 commands, and that she would stop sinning as 1 Cor 15:34 urges and be delivered from lies as Zeph 3:13 says and from temptation and the evil one as Matt 6:13 and John 17:15 plead.

We hold before the Lord His kindness that leads to repentance as Rom 2:4 teaches and His desire that none should perish but all should come to repentance as 2 Pet 3:9 declares, yet also that there will be wrath and tribulation for every soul who does evil as Rom 2:9 warns, and that God throughout history has warned through prophets so that some might perchance repent and escape the snare of the devil being held captive to do his will as 2 Tim 2:25-26 says, and that those who persist in sin be rebuked before all so that others may fear as 1 Tim 5:20 instructs. We pray that any confrontation be done gently and firmly as Gal 6:1 commands, watching ourselves lest we also be tempted, so that she would not be driven from the church but restored.

So we pray together, Father, thank You that You are not finished with her as Phil 1:6 assures that He who began a good work will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus if she is truly Yours. We ask You to hedge her way with thorns as Hos 2:6 that she finds no lovers and no success in seeking them, to close every door of adultery, fornication, and online lust, and to grant her the grace to confess her sin fully and forsake it according to 1 John 1:9. Convict her deeply by Your Spirit according to John 16:8, grant her godly sorrow that works repentance unto life according to 2 Cor 7:10, and bring her to her senses as the prodigal in Luke 15:17 to say I have sinned against heaven and before You. Heal her inner wounds as Isa 1:6 and restore her soul as Ps 23:3, deliver her and this brother and the child and all of us from temptation as Luke 11:4 says and from the evil one as Matt 6:13 says. Raise up her family and her church to intervene biblically as Matt 18:16-17 directs, put Your fear upon them as Isa 66:2 and deliver them from the fear of man as Prov 29:25, and cause those who promised to speak to do so with truth and love and holy zeal and not negligence as Jer 48:10 warns. Grant ever increasing clarity and wisdom as James 1:5 and Col 1:9, that we may know Your will and walk worthy of You. We ask You would cause her to turn from evil men as 2 Tim 3:5, to hate evil as Prov 8:13, and to pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace as 2 Tim 2:22. If she is truly repentant and born again and made holy by Your blood, then make the way for a holy marriage that honors You, for we know You desire marriage to reflect Christ and the church, but if not, give this brother strength to remain holy, patient, and not unequally yoked as 2 Cor 6:14 commands, trusting Your perfect patience as 1 Tim 1:16 and Your promise to give a hope and a future as Jer 29:11. We ask this believing You hear us as Mark 11:24 promises, in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We hear how long you have been carrying this and how much you want to see her turn toward what is good and true. It is painful to love someone, to pray faithfully, and to watch them pull away from wise counsel and keep making choices that worry you. Thank you for bringing this honestly before the Lord instead of trying to carry it alone.

We are encouraged that you are looking to her church and family and trusted pastors to be part of caring for her, rather than trying to manage this by yourself. The church at its best is a community that can come alongside someone with both truth and love, and pastors who know her can discern how and when to reach out in a way that is gentle and appropriate. One steady next step we have seen help in situations like this is to share your concern once, clearly and calmly, with one trusted pastor or elder who knows you both, give them the facts as you know them, and then allow them to take responsibility for what happens next. That protects her dignity, protects you from bearing a burden that is not yours to carry alone, and leaves room for God to work through the community.

We also encourage you to stay rooted in your own fellowship and counsel as you wait. Continuing to walk with people who know you, can pray with you, and can help you keep clear boundaries will sustain you for the long haul, whatever the outcome.

Father, we lift this woman to You and ask for Your protection over her, for healing where she is wounded, and for clarity and wisdom to see her path clearly. We lift our brother who is praying, grant him peace, wisdom for each next decision, and strength to keep entrusting both of you to Your care. Lead you both in Your will and keep you from evil. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest pleadings have come before the Lord and there is much in them which shows a heart that desires not merely an outcome that would please yourself, but that God Himself should be glorified in repentance and in righteousness.

It is right to pray as you have prayed, that the Holy Spirit would convict of sin, of righteousness and of judgment according to John 16:8, and that the way of transgression should be hedged with thorns as in Hosea 2:6, so that the soul cannot overtake her lovers. That hedging is not cruelty but mercy. When the prodigal had spent all in the far country, it was his want and his misery that made him come to himself in Luke 15:17. The Lord in goodness often makes sin bitter before He makes grace sweet, and His goodness is meant to lead to repentance, Romans 2:4, not to drive as a slave is driven, but to draw with cords of love.

You do well to ask for the help of the church and family after the pattern of Matthew 18:16-17, and for pastors who will fear God rather than man, for the fear of man bringeth a snare, Proverbs 29:25, while the fear of the Lord is to hate evil, Proverbs 8:13, and is the beginning of wisdom, Proverbs 9:10. Such intervention must be done gently but firmly, and with an eye upon ourselves lest we also be tempted, Galatians 6:1, not negligently as those who do the work of the Lord deceitfully, Jeremiah 48:10, but with the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, Hebrews 4:12, that others also may fear to sin, 1 Timothy 5:20, and that the one who is taken in the snare of the devil may escape to do His will, 2 Timothy 2:25-26.

In all this you must pray for that repentance which is unto life, Acts 11:18. There is a carnal repentance which is of the flesh, a sorrow for consequences, a trembling under judgment which yet repents not to give God glory, Revelation 16:9. That repentance is not of the Spirit and will not save. True repentance gives God glory. It weeps and abhors past sin because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, and it avoids present sin because of the love of God who died for us. It is inseparable from faith. The repentance that ejects sin as an evil tenant and the faith which admits Christ to be sole Master of the heart go together. The one pulls down, the other builds up. To look out of self to Christ and to Christ only, that is the repentance which saves.

Try your repentance and the repentance for which you pray by these marks. Is it practical, yielding works meet for repentance. Does it last or does it not. Does it make a rainbow with tears of grief for sin and glances of hope at the finished work of Christ. Does it lead the soul to pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart, 2 Timothy 2:22, and to turn from evil men from whom we must turn away, 2 Timothy 3:5, and from every form of impurity, whether in act as in Exodus 20:14 or in heart as in Matthew 5:28. A confession that only hints at sin without owning it before God and man is not that humble acknowledgment which says I have sinned against heaven and before thee, Luke 15:18. Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of, 2 Corinthians 7:9-11.

Take comfort from the prodigal. His father saw him when he was yet a great way off, for the eyes of mercy are quicker than the eyes of repentance. When he came, his father fell upon his neck and kissed him much. Those repeated kisses meant much love, much forgiveness, full restoration and exceeding joy. He would have been content to be as a hired servant, but the father would not have it so, his sonship was acknowledged. So it shall be with every true return. Yet that restoration is for a true son, one truly born again. You are right to remember that we must not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14, and that two cannot walk together except they be agreed, Amos 3:3. We must not call unclean what God has cleansed, Acts 10:15, but neither must we call clean what God has not made holy. All Scripture is inspired, 2 Timothy 3:16, and it teaches that without holiness no man shall see the Lord, and without the new birth there is no entrance into the kingdom. If the Lord makes her holy, that holiness will be seen in a life turned about, in counsel sought and heeded, in promise keeping, in zeal to finish what was vowed to the Lord, 2 Corinthians 8:11, and in a willingness to be taught.

For yourself, continue as you have begun, instant in prayer as in Luke 18:1, asking in faith according to Mark 11:24, and seeking ever increasing clarity and wisdom, James 1:5, that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, Colossians 1:9, and that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment, that you may approve things that are excellent and be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ, Philippians 1:9-11. Pray to be delivered from temptation, from lies, from evil and from the evil one, Matthew 6:13, John 17:15, and to be kept from evil men and impostors. Remember Manasseh, who for fifty five years did evil in the sight of the Lord, yet when he was bound with fetters in Babylon he besought the Lord and humbled himself greatly, and the Lord heard him, 2 Chronicles 33:12. If such a wretch was brought to repentance, no case is too hard for almighty grace. He then showed his conversion practically, seeking to undo what he had done, for restitution must attend true repentance where it is possible.

Repentance lives as long as faith. It is not a bitter thing only for the commencement of the spiritual life to be gotten through and done with. Sweet sister Repentance is charming company even to the gates of pearl, for the more we know of pardoning love the more we mourn that we should have sinned against it. May the Lord grant to her such a sight of Christ crucified that she loathes her sin and turns with her whole heart to Him who alone can heal the wounds from the sole of the foot even unto the head, Isaiah 1:6, and restore the soul as the Shepherd of Psalm 23. And may He grant to you perfect patience, 1 Timothy 1:16, and a steadfast mind to wait upon His will, knowing that He who hath begun a good work will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ, Philippians 1:6, if it be according to His holy purpose.

We will join you in asking the Lord to raise up faithful messengers, to give courage to family and pastors, to put His trembling upon hearts that have regarded the fear of man, Isaiah 66:2, and to work inner healing and true knowledge of God, that sin may be stopped, that the knowledge which puffeth up, 1 Corinthians 8:1, may give place to the knowledge which humbles and sanctifies, and that all concerned may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God, Colossians 4:12.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard and we join you in bringing it before the Lord with reverence for His Word and trust in His mercy.

We thank God that you desire what is holy and not what merely satisfies desire. Scripture is clear that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that sexual union and living together belong only within that covenant. Any other path, whether adultery, fornication, or pursuing relationships outside that design, is sin before God and wounds the soul. For this reason we cannot ask God to bless or affirm a relationship that is outside His design, but we can and do ask Him to convict, to cleanse, and to lead to true repentance and new life.

We will pray with you as you have asked. We will ask the Holy Spirit to bring conviction as Jesus promised in John 16:8, to open eyes to sin and to righteousness. We will ask the Lord to raise up faithful pastors, family, and friends to speak the truth in love according to Matthew 18, gently but firmly, with an eye on themselves lest they also be tempted, as Galatians 6:1 teaches, so that sin is not ignored and others also learn to fear sin. We will pray that the Lord hedges her way with thorns as in Hosea 2:6-7, not as a way to control another person, but asking God in His mercy to block paths that lead to destruction and to make the way of sin hard to find, so she may come to her senses as the prodigal did in Luke 15, confessing sin against God and against others with humility and a willingness to take the lowest place.

You have asked for clarity, wisdom, and knowledge of God, and that is right to ask. We will pray that God grants wisdom as in James 1:5, that you and she and all involved may be filled with the knowledge of His will with all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk worthy of the Lord as in Colossians 1:9-10, to stand fully assured in all the will of God as in Colossians 4:12, and that love may abound with knowledge and discernment to choose what is excellent and be blameless until the day of Christ as in Philippians 1:9-11. True knowledge of God begins with the fear of the Lord as Proverbs 9:10 says, and that fear teaches us to hate evil as Proverbs 8:13 says, and knowledge without love puffs up, but love builds up as 1 Corinthians 8:1 warns.

We also hear your burden for inner healing and for deliverance from temptation and evil. We will pray for healing as Isaiah 1:6 and Psalm 23 describe, for the Shepherd to restore the soul, for deliverance from temptation, from lies, from evil men and imposters as 2 Timothy 3:5 warns to turn away from, and from the evil one himself as in Matthew 6:13 and John 17:15. We pray for all of you, including the young one you mentioned, to flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart as in 2 Timothy 2:22.

Remember what the Scriptures teach about thorns and hedges. The law is called a hedge to protect the vineyard, and when the vineyard brings forth thorns instead of grapes, the hedge may be taken away and the field left exposed. The thorns themselves are the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches, unfruitful, piercing those who handle them, choking the good seed so it bears no fruit. Before the good seed can grow the thorns must be rooted out, the field cleared, and then watered by the streams of the Spirit. Wealth and worldly desire do not bear eternal fruit but kindle the fire and nourish the passions that wound the soul. Let us ask God to kindle the fire of the Spirit to consume those thorns and to plant what is fruitful and enduring.

Remember also what is taught about adultery and about repentance. God judges adultery not lightly, whether committed by the woman or by the man who is bound to a wife yet defiles himself with another. The church is the temple of God, not a place to indulge lustful looking or to commit whoredom of the heart. And repentance is not mere tears or words of regret. Esau sought the blessing with tears yet found no place of repentance because his grief did not lead him to turn from his sin, and he afterward intended murder. True repentance as in 2 Corinthians 7:9-11 is godly sorrow that leads to life, with earnestness and a clear confession and a turning away from sin. We will pray that God grants that kind of repentance as in 2 Timothy 2:25-26, that she may escape the snare of the devil and be held captive no longer.

We will pray that any pastors and counselors involved will act with holy fear, honoring God above the fear of man, which is a snare, and that they will use the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God with love, reverence for covenant, and zeal, not with negligence. We will pray that correction is done in a way that does not drive her from the church but calls her back to Christ.

For you, we pray that you continue in patient trust. God is not finished with those He is working in as Philippians 1:6 promises, and His kindness is meant to lead us to repentance as Romans 2:4 says, for He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance as 2 Peter 3:9 says. Yet we must not presume upon that patience. Continue to walk in purity, to guard your own heart, to remain in the hand of God from which no one can snatch you, and to avoid sowing among thorns. If God makes her holy and truly born again, you will not call unclean what God has cleansed as in Acts 10:15, but until there is clear fruit of new birth and shared faith and a common vision to walk together as Amos 3:3 asks, do not be unequally yoked as 2 Corinthians 6:14 commands and Deuteronomy 22:10 pictures. A promise to support a calling as an evangelist and missionary is only fulfilled where both hearts are submitted to Christ.

May the Lord grant you ever increasing clarity, keep you from evil, establish you in His will, and cause His Word to do its work. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, trusting that He hears and will answer according to His perfect wisdom and mercy.
