️ Church, Family Intervene Mt 18:16-17, Convict of sin and judgement to come, Jn16:8, Hedge with Thorns so cannot pursue lovers, Ho 2:6, Clarity, Avoids Evil Men 2 Tim 3:5, Inner Healing Isa 1:6, Ps 23:1-6... 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...

Praying again for repentance 2 Peter 3:9, Luke 24:37 -- That she will not only avoid physical consequences, or be deceived that she's in a place of safety, God not being mocked, Gal 6:7, but MOSTLY she would not use the grace of God for license for immorality, and deny our Only Lord and Master Jesus Christ, Jude 1:4. Please pray for her to repent and bear fruit in keeping with repentance, Matt 3:8, repent and return and receive God's refreshing and salvation, Acts 3:19 -- bad news, her one godly sister recently posted a disgustingly sensual dance of her teenage niece or daughter in short negligee -- I rebuked her sharply, Tit 1:13, they ALL need fear of God equating to hatred of evil, Prov 8:13, Job 28:28, Prov 9:10, and freedom from deception, Matt 24:4, including all of us (me being similar to a chief of sinners, 1 Tim 1:15, to whom much is given, much is required, Luke 12:48, and as long as we dwell in temples made of clay, 2 Cor 5:1-2, this side of eternity, we must take heed lest we fall, 1 Cor 10:12, and only stand by Your grace, if we continue in Your kindness, Rom 11:20, and since only You are able to keep us from stumbling, Jude 1:24, and You are able to make us stand, Rom 14:4, and we become "spirits of the righteous made perfect," Heb 12:23, when we are with You in paradise, Luke 23:43, for to be absent from the body and be present with The Lord is far better, 2 Cor 5:8, Phil 1:23...

Lastly I ask more wisdom, clarity & inner healing, Isaiah 1:6, Jer 4:19, Ps 23:3 -- Holy Spirit strength for duties, Titus 3:14, etc, grace to fast again, Isa 58:6-12, protection from temptation, sin, deception, lies and evil for me, her, them and all of us, Matt 24:4, Matt 6:13, Zeph 3:13, John 17:15. Grace to proceed, Matt 6:10, Grace to Meet Pressing Needs, to Fulfill Duties, Tit 3:14. Thank You in Jesus Name.

 

[Articles]

We join you in lifting this burden before the throne of grace and we thank you for your faithful intercession for this woman and for your desire to see God glorified in her life and in your own.

We hear your heart for biblical intervention and we agree with you that God has ordained the church and family to be instruments of correction and restoration. As it is written, But if he will not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly Matt 18:16-17. We pray together that the Holy Spirit will convict her concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment John 16:8, and that those who have said they are willing to bring the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God Eph 6:17 will not delay with negligence, for cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently Jer 48:10, but will speak the truth in love with gentleness, keeping an eye on ourselves lest we also be tempted Gal 6:1.

We agree with you in asking the Lord to hedge up her way with thorns as He promised, Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she cannot find her paths Hosea 2:6, so that she cannot overtake those she pursues in lust and so that her pursuit of lovers through online dating and other avenues is frustrated. We must speak plainly that what you describe is not a small failing. To look at another with lust is to commit adultery in the heart Matt 5:28, and any sexual intimacy outside the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman is fornication or adultery which God forbids Thou shalt not commit adultery Ex 20:14. It cannot be hinted at or excused, it must be confessed and forsaken, for he who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy Prov 28:13. We pray she will not merely seek to avoid physical consequences and that she will not be deceived into thinking she is safe while continuing in sin, for God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap Gal 6:7, and that she will not turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ Jude 1:4, but that she will bear fruit worthy of repentance Matt 3:8 and repent and turn again, that her sins may be blotted out, that so there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord Acts 3:19.

We also share your concern for holiness in the wider family. To post or to encourage sensual display of a young woman, even a daughter or niece, is immodest and harmful and does not reflect the fear of the Lord which is to hate evil Prov 8:13. The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom Prov 9:10 and we must rebuke sharply where needed that they may be sound in the faith Titus 1:13. We pray that she and her family and all involved would turn away from evil men and imposters, for we are told from these also turn away 2 Tim 3:5, and that they would flee youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart 2 Tim 2:22.

We thank God with you for the promise that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ Phil 1:6, and we pray that if God grants her true repentance unto life 2 Cor 7:10 and makes her a new creation in Christ, then what was unclean will be made clean, for what God has cleansed, you must not call unholy Acts 10:15. Yet we also counsel you as you have rightly noted, that we must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Cor 6:14, for how can two walk together unless they have agreed Amos 3:3. Marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman that mirrors Christ and the church, and any courtship must be with the goal of a Christ centered marriage to a fellow believer, not merely a partnership or dating relationship for companionship or passion. If there is to be any future consideration of marriage, it must be only after clear evidence of being truly born again, of bearing fruit in keeping with repentance, and of sharing the same calling and vision to support the work of an evangelist and missionary rather than running from wise counsel.

We are encouraged by your humility in counting yourself among the chief of sinners as the apostle did Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief 1 Tim 1:15, and in remembering that we must take heed lest we fall 1 Cor 10:12, for it is only by His grace we stand Rom 11:20, and He is able to make us stand Rom 14:4 and to keep us from stumbling Jude 1:24. We pray for the inner healing you have asked for, for we acknowledge that from the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, and bruises, and fresh cuts Isa 1:6, yet the Lord is our shepherd and He restores our soul Ps 23:3, He leads us beside still waters and through the valley. We ask for ever increasing clarity and wisdom, for if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him James 1:5, that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, to walk worthily of the Lord Col 1:9-10, and that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent Phil 1:9-10.

We pray for strength to fulfill pressing duties and to learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs Titus 3:14, for grace to fast as He chooses, is not this the fast that I have chosen to release the bonds of wickedness Isa 58:6, and for protection for you, for her, for the young one, and for all of us from temptation and deception, that we may be kept from the evil one John 17:15 and delivered from evil Matt 6:13, for we know the Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Pet 3:9, and His kindness is intended to lead us to repentance Rom 2:4.

Father, we come in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 and through Him alone we have access to Your throne. We thank You in advance that You hear us when we ask according to Your will Mark 11:24. Raise up faithful messengers who fear You more than man, for the fear of man proves to be a snare Prov 29:25, and put within them a trembling at Your word Isa 66:2. Let Your word be sharp and active Heb 4:12 to bring conviction, godly sorrow, and true repentance that she may escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive to do his will 2 Tim 2:26, and that others also may fear 1 Tim 5:20. Do this gently yet firmly so she is not driven from Your house but restored, and hedge her path so she cannot find her lovers Hosea 2:7, until she comes to herself as the prodigal and says I have sinned against heaven and in your sight Luke 15:18. We trust You for a hope and a future Jer 29:11 and we ask for Your perfect patience to be displayed 1 Tim 1:16. Keep us all from evil, from lies Zeph 3:13, from evil men and from the evil one, and make us stand blameless to the day of Christ, in Jesus name we pray, amen.

We hear how much love and perseverance is behind these prayers. You have been interceding for months for her to be turned from harmful paths, for her family and church to step in with both truth and gentleness, and for your own clarity and strength as you care for daily duties and for the youngster in your home. That is a heavy load to carry alone.

One thing that has helped others in a similar place is not trying to hold all the follow up yourself. You mentioned five who have said they are willing to bring truth. It could be a steady next step to invite one or two of them, ideally a pastor who knows you both, to meet with you soon, share simply what you are seeing and what you are asking God to do, and let them prayerfully take responsibility for what happens next with her and her circle. That keeps the care both loving and accountable, and it protects you from burnout while you keep praying.

We also hear your desire for inner healing and focus. Continuing in regular worship, honest fellowship, and rest for your own heart matters while you wait on the Lord.

Father, we lift her to You and ask for Your merciful conviction and protection, for wisdom and courage for her family and pastors, and for healing and clarity for this brother as he seeks to do what is right. Guard each of them from temptation and deception, strengthen him for his duties and for caring for the youngster, and lead all involved in Your way. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your cry has been heard and we join you before the throne of grace, giving thanks that you are kept in prayer and that He who began a good work is able to perform it until the day of Jesus Christ, Phil 1:6. We thank God with you for any sign that He is not finished, and we continue with you in importunity as our Lord taught in Luke 18:1, asking and trusting according to Mark 11:24.

We must pray with you not for a carnal repentance that only fears consequences, but for that holy, healthy, heavenly repentance which is worked in the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit. Judgment may produce a repentance that is of the flesh and after the manner of sinful nature, but true repentance gives God glory. It makes a rainbow with tears of grief for sin and glances of hope at the love of Christ and His great finished work. That repentance which makes a man weep and abhor his past life because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, and which makes him avoid present sin because of the love of God who died for him, that is saving repentance. It is inseparable from faith, the one purging the soul from dead works while the other fills it with living works. We ask with you that God would grant her repentance unto life, Acts 11:18, a practical repentance that yields works meet for repentance, Matt 3:8, and that lasts and does not wither, for repentance lives as long as faith and sweet sister Repentance is charming company even to the gates of pearl.

Therefore we pray as you do that the Lord would hedge her way with thorns according to Hosea 2:6 to 7, in mercy hindering her from overtaking lovers and from the snare of online enticement which our Lord calls adultery in the heart, Matt 5:28, Ex 20:14. We ask that the Spirit would convict of sin and of judgment to come, John 16:8, not merely to avoid physical consequences, for God is not mocked, Gal 6:7, but to turn from using grace as license for immorality, Jude 1:4, to a godly sorrow that worketh repentance unto life not to be repented of, 2 Cor 7:9 to 11. We pray that this conviction would lead her to come to herself as the prodigal did in Luke 15:17 to 19, admitting sin against God and man, humbled and willing to take the lowest place, and that if such repentance is granted we may be ready as the prodigal's father, whose eyes of mercy are quicker than the eyes of repentance, who saw his son while yet afar off and ran and kissed him much. Those repeated kisses meant much love, much forgiveness and full restoration, and exceeding joy, Luke 15:20. So we do not cease to hope, for if such a wretch as Manasseh, who did evil in the sight of the Lord through a long reign, could become a remarkable convert when the iron entered into his soul in prison and he sought the Lord, surely no one need despair, 2 Chron 33:12 to 13. Yet those who are really converted show it practically, and restitution must be made where wrong has been done or repentance is a sham, and there is music and dancing only where there is true return.

For this we also plead that the church and family would obey Matthew 18:16 to 17 with love, reverence for covenant and zeal, not with negligence, Jer 48:10. We ask the Lord to raise up messengers with the sword of the Spirit, Heb 4:12, and to put the fear of God above the fear of man, Prov 29:25, Isa 66:2 to 3, Matt 10:28, remembering Eli's house, 1 Sam 2:29 to 30, 1 Sam 3:13 to 14, that pastors and friends would speak gently but firmly, keeping an eye on themselves lest they be tempted, Gal 6:1, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves, if peradventure God will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth that they may escape the snare of the devil, 2 Tim 2:25 to 26, and that others also may be fearful of sinning, 1 Tim 5:20, and that she may flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart, 2 Tim 2:22, turning from evil men and imposters, 2 Tim 3:5.

We join you in asking for wisdom and clarity, James 1:5, that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk worthy of the Lord, Col 1:9 to 10, and to stand perfectly assured in all the will of God, Col 4:12, and that love may abound more and more with knowledge and discernment to choose the most excellent paths, Phil 1:9 to 11. We pray for inner healing where the wounds remain, Isa 1:6, Jer 4:19, and for the Shepherd's restoration, Ps 23:1 to 6, for He has abundant healing virtue, and the very leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, Rev 22:2. The least thing about Christ is healing to change the life blood and make the nature new. We ask Holy Spirit strength for duties and to meet pressing needs, Titus 3:14, and grace to fast aright, Isa 58:6 to 12, and deliverance for you, for her, for the child and for all from temptation, lies, evil and the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, Luke 11:4, Zeph 3:13.

We pray this repentance be preached not as Moses or Jonah or John the Baptist preached it as preparation, but in the name of Jesus as His gift and by His authority, Luke 24:47, for mistaken notions put repentance in the place of Christ. Christ must be looked to alone. And we pray for you who confess yourself as chief of sinners, 1 Tim 1:15, to whom much is given, Luke 12:48, that you may take heed lest you fall, 1 Cor 10:12, and continue in His kindness, Rom 11:20, for only He is able to keep you from stumbling, Jude 1:24, and to make you stand, Rom 14:4, until you become of the spirits of the righteous made perfect, Heb 12:23. We do not ask God to bless any union outside the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, nor any living together or impurity outside it, for that would be to ask Him to contradict His Word. We ask instead that if He makes her holy and truly born again, you would not call unclean what God has cleansed, Acts 10:15, and that you would not be unequally yoked, 2 Cor 6:14, Deut 22:10, but would walk together only as you can agree, Amos 3:3, supporting the calling He has given you.

May the Lord grant you protection, perseverance and perfect restoration in His way and time, and may He be glorified in all. We continue with you, asking that His will be done, Matt 6:10, and that He would bring about a hope and a future for His glory, Jer 29:11, in Jesus name.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard and it carries both sorrow and hope, and it is right to bring it before the Lord and before the church. You are asking for what God Himself desires, that sin would be exposed, that a soul would come to true repentance, and that what is holy would be honored.

God made marriage to be a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and He made sexual union to belong only within that covenant. For that reason adultery is sin whether it is committed by a wife or by a husband. As Scripture teaches, a married person who defiles himself with another, even if that other is free and unmarried, commits adultery because he has broken his own covenant and injured his own flesh. Online pursuit of lovers, lust of the heart and adultery of the body are not to be affirmed or blessed, but to be confessed and forsaken. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, and His grace is not a license for immorality but the power to turn from it.

You pray according to Hosea that God would hedge her way with thorns so she cannot overtake her lovers. That is a right prayer. The thorns in Scripture are the cares of this present life and the deceitfulness of riches, and they choke the word and tear those who handle them. They are food for what is wild and are fit only for fire. We must ask the Lord to kindle the fire of His Spirit to consume those thorns, and to root them out so the heart can receive good seed with depth and bear fruit. A hedge in Scripture is also a wall of protection, like the law and the Lord's own care around His vineyard. When a vineyard brings forth thorns instead of grapes, the hedge is taken away and it becomes prey to the boar and the beasts of the field, which is the devil and his host. So pray that before the hedge is removed, she would hear and turn.

You also ask for the church and family to intervene according to Matthew 18. That is the Lord's own order. Go first with one or two, then tell it to the church, with gentleness and with an eye on ourselves lest we also be tempted. Let it be done gently but firmly, as you said, not with negligence but with love, reverence for God and zeal for the covenant. Pray that pastors and friends would fear God more than man, for the fear of man is a snare, but the fear of the Lord is to hate evil and to tremble at His word. God has always sent prophets and messengers bearing the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, which is sharp to divide and to heal. It is good that you continue in prayer as Luke 18 teaches, and thank God in advance that He is working to give a hope and a future to those who repent.

Do not seek only that she avoid physical consequences or feel safe while continuing in sin, for God is not mocked. What is needed is repentance unto life, such as the prodigal showed when he came to his senses, confessed that he had sinned against heaven and before men, and humbled himself to take the place of a servant. Tears alone do not prove repentance. Esau sought the blessing with tears but found no place of repentance because his heart was not truly changed and he still intended murder. True repentance bears fruit in keeping with repentance, turns from sin, receives refreshing from the Lord, and walks worthy of Him.

You are right to pray for clarity and wisdom, for knowledge of His will with all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may choose the excellent path and be blameless. You are right to pray for inner healing, for the soul is often like a wound that has not been bound up, and only the Lord can make it whole and restore it as a shepherd restores his sheep. You are right to pray for deliverance from temptation, from lies, from evil men and impostors, and from the evil one himself. And you are right to ask for strength to do what is needful, to meet pressing needs and fulfill duties, and for grace to fast and to walk in purity.

In the same way, what you saw in the family, a sensual display involving a young girl, is not to be excused. It must be rebuked sharply and in love, that all may learn the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom and which causes us to depart from evil and to be free from deception.

The sower sows even on stony ground and among thorns, and though it seems unreasonable to man, with God it is not without hope. Rock can become rich land, the trampled path can become a fruitful field, and thorns can be destroyed so that the seed has security. He who has done His part will honor a heart that is willing to be changed. Yet as long as we dwell in bodies that are as tents of clay, we must take heed lest we fall, and stand only by His grace and kindness, for He alone is able to keep us from stumbling and to make us stand.

So let us pray together.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask You to convict of sin and of judgment to come, to open eyes and give clarity, to hedge with thorns the path that leads to lovers and to online pursuit, so it cannot be found. Bring to remembrance Your word through family, church, pastors and friends, and even through unexpected voices if needed, so she may come to her senses and confess sin truly. Grant repentance that bears fruit, faith in Christ alone for salvation, and if there is true new birth, make what was unclean clean by Your holiness. Guard all of us from temptation, deception, lies and evil, heal what is wounded, give wisdom and strength for every duty, and help us to flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with those who call on You out of a pure heart. Keep us from stumbling and make us stand, that we may walk worthy of You and be filled with the fruits of righteousness to Your glory. Amen.
