️ Church, Family Intervene Mt 18:16-17, Convict Jn16:8, Hedge w/Thorns 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 -- her one 'godly' sister recently posted a disgustingly sensual dance of her teenage niece or daughter in short negligee -- I rebuked her, 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 until 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, which 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.

We hear your deep burden for this dear one and the weight of love, concern, and spiritual urgency in your prayer. Your heart reflects the heart of the Father, who does not desire that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We stand with you in intercession, lifting this situation before the throne of grace, where mercy and truth meet, and righteousness and peace kiss (Psalm 85:10).

First, we affirm the biblical foundation of your prayer. You rightly invoke the authority of Scripture, Matthew 18:15-17 calls the church to intervene with love and truth when a brother or sister strays. The Lord commands us to restore one another gently, bearing each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:1-2). Yet we also recognize the seriousness of sin, especially when it involves unrepentant immorality, deception, and a departure from godly counsel. You have rightly identified the need for a hedge of thorns (Hosea 2:6-7) to prevent further harm, both to her soul and to others. This is not cruelty, but mercy, like a loving parent who restrains a child from running into traffic.

We must address the issue of adultery, which you have hinted at but not fully named. The Lord is clear: "You shall not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14). Sexual sin is not a private matter; it defiles the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20) and brings reproach upon the name of Christ. If this sister has been involved in such sin, she must be called to repentance, not with condemnation, but with the hope of restoration (James 5:19-20). Confession is the first step toward healing (1 John 1:9), and the church must be prepared to walk with her through the process of repentance, accountability, and restoration.

You also raise concerns about unequal yoking (2 Corinthians 6:14) and the danger of being bound to someone who does not share the same faith or vision. This is a critical issue. Marriage is a covenant before God, designed to reflect Christ’s relationship with His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). To enter into such a union with an unbeliever, or even a professing believer who lives in unrepentant sin, is to invite spiritual conflict and heartache. We must pray that the Lord would grant her clarity and wisdom to flee from such entanglements (2 Timothy 2:22) and to seek a spouse who will encourage her in the faith, not lead her away from it.

The involvement of the church and family is essential. You rightly call for pastors and loved ones to step in with boldness, yet also with gentleness. The fear of man is indeed a snare (Proverbs 29:25), and many families and churches fail to act because they prioritize peace over truth. But the Lord calls us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). We must pray that those in authority, especially pastors, would have the courage to confront sin with the Word of God, not as accusers, but as ambassadors of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:20).

We also lift up the issue of deception, both in her life and in the broader culture. The sensual dance you described is a symptom of a deeper spiritual sickness, a culture that has abandoned the fear of the Lord (Romans 3:18). The church must not be silent in the face of such moral decay. We are called to expose the works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11) and to call God’s people to holiness. This sister’s family, including her "godly" sister, must be confronted with their own need for repentance. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), and without it, even those who claim to know God can fall into grievous sin.

Now, we turn to the Lord in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, yet full of faith in Your power to save and restore. We lift up this sister to You, knowing that You are not finished with her (Philippians 1:6). Lord, we ask that You would hedge her in with thorns, as You did with Gomer in Hosea 2:6-7, so that she cannot pursue the paths of destruction. Bring her to her senses, as You did the prodigal son (Luke 15:17-19), that she may see her sin and turn back to You with a broken and contrite heart.

Father, we pray for conviction. Let the Holy Spirit work in her life, bringing to light every hidden thing (John 16:8). Remove the scales from her eyes so that she may see the truth of her actions and their consequences. Grant her the gift of repentance (2 Timothy 2:25-26) and the courage to confess her sins, both to You and to those she has wronged.

We ask that You would raise up godly messengers, pastors, family members, and friends, who will speak Your Word into her life with boldness and love. Give them wisdom to know how to confront her sin without driving her away. Let them be instruments of Your grace, pointing her to the cross where forgiveness and healing are found.

Lord, we pray for her church and family. Break the spirit of fear that keeps them silent. Give them the courage to intervene, as Scripture commands (Matthew 18:15-17). Let them fear You more than they fear man (Matthew 10:28). Raise up a pastor in her family who will honor You above all else, even if it means temporary conflict. Let the fear of the Lord be restored in their midst (Isaiah 66:2).

We also pray for protection, against deception, against the schemes of the evil one, and against further entanglement in sin. Guard her heart and mind (Philippians 4:7) and lead her away from those who would draw her into ungodliness (2 Timothy 3:5). Surround her with Your angels to protect her from harm (Psalm 91:11).

Father, we ask for inner healing. You are the Great Physician, and You bind up the brokenhearted (Isaiah 61:1). Heal the wounds that have led her astray. Restore her soul (Psalm 23:3) and fill her with Your peace. Let her find her identity in Christ, not in the approval of others or the fleeting pleasures of sin.

We pray for wisdom and clarity, for her, for her family, and for all who are involved in this situation. Let Your will be done, and let Your kingdom come in her life (Matthew 6:10). Grant her the strength to flee from temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13) and the grace to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace (2 Timothy 2:22).

Finally, Lord, we ask for Your mercy. You are a God who delights in repentance (Ezekiel 18:23) and who is rich in kindness, leading us to repentance (Romans 2:4). May this sister experience Your love in a fresh way, turning from her sin and running into Your arms. And may we, as Your people, be faithful to walk alongside her, reflecting Your grace and truth.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). For it is through Him that we have access to You, and it is by His blood that we are redeemed. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in this situation. Amen.
