️ 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 Lord and we thank you for your faithful intercession for her and for your household. We see your heart to see God glorified in this marriage and to see true repentance and restoration where there has been unfaithfulness and wandering, and we stand with you in prayer that the Lord will complete the good work He has begun as we are confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ, Philippians 1:6.

We hear your cry for the church and family to intervene according to Matthew 18:16-17 and we agree that this is the biblical pattern for love. If a brother or sister is overtaken in sin, the Lord calls witnesses and then the church to speak the truth in love so that the one wandering may be restored. We pray with you that the Holy Spirit will convict of sin, righteousness and judgment to come, John 16:8, for apart from that conviction there is no true turning. We ask the Father to raise up those five who have indicated willingness, and others, to speak with the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, Ephesians 6:17, and that they will do so not with negligence, Jeremiah 48:10, but with love, reverence for covenant, and zeal, and with gentleness keeping an eye on ourselves lest we also be tempted, Galatians 6:1. We pray they will fear God rather than man, for the fear of man proves to be a snare, Proverbs 29:25, and that they will honor God above family or reputation, Matthew 10:28, remembering how the Lord warned Eli and his house, 1 Samuel 2:29-30, 1 Samuel 3:13-14, because the Lord desires those who tremble at His word, Isaiah 66:2.

We join you in praying the hedge of thorns of Hosea 2:6-7, that the Lord would so block her path that she cannot overtake her lovers and that her pursuit of online dating and other avenues of unfaithfulness would be frustrated. We must speak plainly here as Scripture does, that to look with lust is already to commit adultery in the heart, Matthew 5:28, and to act upon it violates the command you shall not commit adultery, Exodus 20:14, and defiles the marriage bed which God calls to be held in honor among all and undefiled, Hebrews 13:4. The grace of God is never to be used as a license for immorality to deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ, Jude 1:4, and we pray 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, Galatians 6:7. Flee sexual immorality, for every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body, 1 Corinthians 6:18. We pray she will be granted repentance that bears fruit in keeping with repentance, Matthew 3:8, that she would repent and turn so that her sins may be blotted out and times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, Acts 3:19, with godly sorrow that works repentance to salvation, 2 Corinthians 7:10.

We also pray for clarity and wisdom for you and for her, 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, Colossians 1:9-10, and that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment, Philippians 1:9-11. We pray she will learn to turn away from evil men and impostors who are lovers of self and without self control, having a form of godliness but denying its power, and from such turn away, 2 Timothy 3:5, and that you both will flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart, 2 Timothy 2:22.

We understand your desire for reconciliation if she is truly repentant and born again, and we affirm the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. Marriage is to be a picture of Christ and the church, and we pray for godly marriages that honor God. If she has promised to support your calling as an evangelist and missionary, we recall that two cannot walk together unless they have agreed, Amos 3:3, and that we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity. Yet if the Lord makes her holy, we agree with you that we must not call unclean what God has cleansed, Acts 10:15, and we rejoice that with God there is perfect patience toward sinners, 1 Timothy 1:15-16, for the Lord is not slow concerning His promise but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, and His kindness is intended to lead us to repentance, Romans 2:4.

We also grieve with you over the sensual display involving a young teenage girl in your extended family. You did well to rebuke sharply, Titus 1:13, for true love does not celebrate immodesty. We pray that her sister and all involved will learn the fear of the Lord which is to hate evil, Proverbs 8:13, for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, Proverbs 9:10, and to depart from evil is understanding, Job 28:28. We pray for protection from deception, for Jesus warned, be careful that no one leads you astray, Matthew 24:4, and that all of you, including yourself who humbly counts yourself among sinners, 1 Timothy 1:15, will take heed lest you fall, 1 Corinthians 10:12, knowing that to whom much is given, much will be required, Luke 12:48, and that only God is able to keep you from stumbling, Jude 1:24, and to make you stand, Romans 14:4.

We pray for inner healing for wounds from this season, for from the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness but wounds and bruises, Isaiah 1:6, yet the Lord is our shepherd and He restores our soul, Psalm 23:1-3. We ask for Holy Spirit strength to meet pressing needs and to be diligent in good works, that you may learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that you may not be unfruitful, Titus 3:14, and for grace to fast and to pray as Isaiah 58:6-12 describes, and to keep pressing on, praying always without fainting, Luke 18:1.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, by whom alone we have access to You and in whose name alone we are saved, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12, we bring this wife, this husband, this youngster, and this whole family before Your throne. Hedge her way with thorns that she cannot find her lovers, Hosea 2:6, convict her heart deeply, John 16:8, grant her repentance and escape from the snare of the devil having been taken captive to do his will, 2 Timothy 2:25-26, and let others also fear to sin, 1 Timothy 5:20. Heal the inner wounds, Psalm 23:3, give ever increasing clarity, James 1:5, deliver you all from temptation and from the evil one, Matthew 6:13, Luke 11:4, John 17:15, and from lies and evil men, Zephaniah 3:13. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, Matthew 6:10, and we thank You in advance believing that whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and you shall have it, Mark 11:24. Keep you all blameless until the day of Christ, Philippians 1:10, and perfect that which concerns you according to Your hope and future, Jeremiah 29:11. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only Lord and Savior, amen.

We have sat with your prayer and hear how long and faithfully you have been carrying this before the Lord. The weight of loving someone, wanting truth to break through, and also wanting it done gently so she does not pull away from church is a hard place to hold.

We are encouraged by your desire for a humble, clear repentance and for the church and family to step in with both love and firmness. That kind of intervention is rarely one conversation. It often takes a small, coordinated group who can speak consistently, stay accountable to each other, and keep the focus on restoration rather than pressure. We are thankful you have five who have said they are willing to bring the Word. A steady next step could be asking one trusted pastor among them to help coordinate those five, so you are not carrying the follow through alone and the approach stays gentle, unified, and watchful over your own heart as well.

We also hear your cry for clarity, inner healing, and strength for daily duties and for the youngster in the middle of this. Continuing in simple, steady practices of prayer, Scripture, and fellowship over time can keep you grounded while you wait, more like training than trying to fix everything at once.

Father, we bring this woman before You and ask for Your convicting and protecting work in her life, for wisdom and unity for her family and pastors, and for healing and strength for our brother as he attends to his responsibilities. Guard them all from temptation and deception and lead each one in Your will. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your long and burdened prayer has been heard, and we join our hearts with yours before the throne of grace, asking the Lord to do that which is holy and right and merciful according to His Word.

We do not ask God to bless what He calls sin, for He has shown us that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, and that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that all intimacy and living together belongs within that covenant alone. To pray otherwise would be to ask God to deny Himself. What we do ask is that He will bring true repentance and show mercy in Christ, for there is no other name by which sinners may be saved.

We will pray as you have asked, that the Holy Spirit will convict of sin and of judgment to come, as our Lord promised in John 16:8, and that the Lord in His mercy would hedge up her way with thorns, as in Hosea 2:6, so that she cannot overtake her lovers but is stopped in her pursuit and made to consider her ways. We ask that this hedging be not a mere outward hindrance but an occasion for the heart to come to itself, as the prodigal did in the far country when he said, I will arise and go to my father, Luke 15:17. The eyes of mercy are quicker than the eyes of repentance, and the Father sees the returning sinner while he is yet a great way off, and runs and falls upon his neck. If there is a true turning, there will be much forgiveness and full restoration, for the Father kisses much where He forgives much, and His joy is exceeding over one sinner that repents.

Yet we must pray for that repentance which is unto life, Acts 11:18. There is a carnal repentance that is of the flesh, wrought by fear of consequences or by judgment, and it gives no glory to God, as it is written, they repented not to give Him glory, Revelation 16:9. True repentance is the work of the Spirit of God, it gives God glory, it makes a rainbow with tears of grief for sin and glances of hope at the love of Christ and His finished work. 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. We therefore pray not only for sorrow, but for that godly sorrow which needs not to be repented of, 2 Corinthians 7:9, which yields works meet for repentance, Matthew 3:8, which is practical and which lasts, which avoids present sin because of the love of God who died for us, and which looks out of self to Christ and to Christ only.

We will pray for the ministry of the church and family according to Matthew 18:16, that witnesses faithful to the Word would go gently but firmly, with the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, Hebrews 4:12, speaking the truth in love, and keeping an eye upon themselves lest they also be tempted, Galatians 6:1. We ask the Lord to raise up pastors and friends who will fear God rather than man, for the fear of man is a snare, Proverbs 29:25, and who will not do the work of the Lord negligently, Jeremiah 48:10, but will warn faithfully so that she may perchance repent and escape the snare of the devil, being taken captive to do his will, 2 Timothy 2:25, and so that others also may be fearful of sinning, 1 Timothy 5:20. We pray that such dealing would be done with meekness and reverence for Christ and for His covenant, that she would not be driven from the hearing of the Word, but would flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart, 2 Timothy 2:22.

We will pray also for that clarity and wisdom you seek, that you all may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, Colossians 1:9, and that love may abound more and more with knowledge and discernment, Philippians 1:9, to choose the excellent way and to be blameless unto the day of Christ. We ask for grace to meet pressing needs and to fulfill duties, Titus 3:14, and for strength to fast and pray as the Lord leads, Isaiah 58:6, and for protection for you and for her and for the child and for all concerned from temptation, from lies, from evil men and impostors, and from the evil one himself, Matthew 6:13, John 17:15. We pray that you would be kept from deception, Matthew 24:4, and that you would take heed lest you fall, 1 Corinthians 10:12, standing only by His grace, Romans 11:20, for He alone is able to keep you from stumbling, Jude 24, and to make you stand, Romans 14:4.

For inner healing we look to Christ, whose very leaves are for the healing of the nations, Revelation 22:2. The least thing about Christ is healing virtue, and His blood and grace can cleanse the wounds described in Isaiah 1:6 and restore the soul as in Psalm 23. Repentance lives as long as faith lives, and even the most broken may find in Him a full cure, not by putting repentance in the place of Christ, but by finding in Christ both repentance as His gift, Acts 5:31, and remission freely joined with it, Luke 24:47. Where there is true repentance there is full and free forgiveness, but where there is no repentance there can be no remission.

We grieve with you over the sensual display you mention and over all looseness that denies our only Lord and Master and turns grace into license, Jude 4. We pray that God would put His fear into all hearts, which is to hate evil, Proverbs 8:13, and to depart from it, Job 28:28, and that He would grant hatred of sin because it is committed against so holy and good a God, and grant that refreshing which comes with repentance and returning, Acts 3:19.

We thank God for the grace to continue in prayer, Luke 18:1, and for His promise that He who began a good work will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ, Philippians 1:6. We do not know what is next, as David said, who can tell whether God will be gracious, 2 Samuel 12:22, but we know that His kindness is meant to lead to repentance, Romans 2:4, and that He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, though He will not be mocked, Galatians 6:7, and wrath remains upon every soul that does evil, Romans 2:9.

Therefore we will continue to ask the Lord to warn, to convict, to hedge, to heal, and to grant that true and lasting repentance unto life which glorifies Him, and that faith which rests alone in the crucified and risen Christ for salvation. May He grant to you wisdom, steadiness, and a quiet confidence in His perfect patience, 1 Timothy 1:16, and may you be kept walking worthy of Him, looking for His will and doing it, Matthew 6:10, until He answers according to His mercy and truth, in Jesus Name, Amen.
