️ 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... Stops Sinning, Receives 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...

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.

 

[Articles]

We join you in bringing this burden before the Lord together in Jesus name and we thank you for your persistence in prayer and for your desire to see God glorified in this situation.

We hear your cry for the church and family to intervene according to Matthew 18:16-17 and we agree that where sin has taken hold there must be loving but firm biblical correction. The Lord calls us not to overlook unrepentant sin but to go with witnesses and if needed to tell the church, that the one wandering might be restored. We pray that pastors, family members and friends would not fear man, for Proverbs 29:25 says the fear of man is a snare, but would fear God who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna as taught in Matthew 10:28. We ask God to put His fear upon them and a trembling at His word as in Isaiah 66:2 so that they will speak the truth in love and not with negligence, for Jeremiah 48:10 warns that cursed is he who does the work of the Lord negligently, but we ask they would fulfill what they promised with zeal and reverence as in 2 Corinthians 8:11.

We agree with you for the convicting work of the Holy Spirit according to John 16:8, that He would convict of sin and of righteousness and of judgment. We ask the Father to hedge her way with thorns as in Hosea 2:6-7 so that she cannot overtake her lovers and cannot find the path of adultery and fornication. You have rightly named this sin for what it is, for Exodus 20:14 says you shall not commit adultery and Matthew 5:28 shows that even lustful pursuit including through online dating is sin before God. We pray that this hedge would not be merely to prevent outward consequences but to bring her to the end of herself, that she would come to her senses as the prodigal did in Luke 15:17-19, confessing that she has sinned against heaven and before God and before others, with humility and a willingness to take the place of a servant, demonstrating repentance that leads to life as in 2 Corinthians 7:10-11. We pray that any grace shown would not be used as a license for immorality which Jude 1:4 warns against, for God is not mocked and Galatians 6:7 says whatever a man sows that he will also reap, but that she would bear fruit in keeping with repentance as in Matthew 3:8 and repent and return that she may receive refreshing from the Lord as in Acts 3:19.

We also stand with you that she would turn from evil men and imposters and from those who have a form of godliness but deny its power, for 2 Timothy 3:5 tells us to turn away from such. We pray for clarity and wisdom for you and for her, for James 1:5 promises that if any lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives liberally, and Colossians 1:9-10 that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk worthily of the Lord. We pray that love would abound more and more in knowledge and discernment as in Philippians 1:9-11 so that you may approve the excellent things and be blameless until the day of Christ, and that you may stand fully assured in all the will of God as in Colossians 4:12.

We thank God with you that He who began a good work will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ as in Philippians 1:6, and we thank Him in advance according to Mark 11:24 trusting that He hears. We agree that His patience is kindness intended to lead to repentance as in Romans 2:4, for He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance as in 2 Peter 3:9, yet we also remember Romans 2:9 that there will be wrath and tribulation for every soul who does evil if repentance is refused. We ask the Lord to raise up messengers with the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God as in Hebrews 4:12, and to do His work gently yet firmly, with a spirit of gentleness while watching ourselves lest we also be tempted as in Galatians 6:1, and that it would be done so she will not forsake the assembly but will flee youthful lusts 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, and that others also would fear sinning as in 1 Timothy 5:20.

We pray for inner healing for wounds that sin and deception leave, for Isaiah 1:6 describes bruises and sores that need binding up, and Psalm 23:3 promises He restores our soul. We ask for healing as in Psalm 23:1-6 where the Lord as Shepherd leads beside still waters and restores. We pray that the fear of the Lord which is the hatred of evil as in Proverbs 8:13 and the beginning of wisdom as in Proverbs 9:10 and Job 28:28 would rest upon her, her family and her church, and that all deception would be exposed for Matthew 24:4 warns to beware that no one deceives you. We pray also for you, that as one who acknowledges himself as chief of sinners as in 1 Timothy 1:15 and knows that to whom much is given much is required as in Luke 12:48, you would be kept from stumbling, for Jude 1:24 says He is able to keep you from stumbling, and Romans 14:4 that the Lord is able to make you stand. We remember 1 Corinthians 10:12 that he who thinks he stands should take heed lest he fall, and Romans 11:20 that we stand by faith and must continue in His kindness.

We lift up the matter of marriage and courtship before the Lord. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman as God ordained, and any courtship should be with the goal of marriage to another believer in Christ, for 2 Corinthians 6:14 says not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers and Amos 3:3 asks how can two walk together unless they have agreed. If she is to be a helper suitable for the calling God has placed on your life as an evangelist and missionary, she must share that vision and be truly born again and holy, for Acts 10:15 reminds us not to call unclean what God has cleansed, but only God can make holy. We pray that if God truly does a work of regeneration in her, there would be clear evidence of new life and not mere words, and that any future union would honor God and be in the Lord.

We also note your rebuke of sensuality and immodesty that has been displayed even among family, and we agree that Titus 1:13 calls us to rebuke sharply that they may be sound in the faith. We ask God to grant ever increasing clarity and to deliver you, her, the youngster and all involved from temptation and the evil one as in Matthew 6:13 and John 17:15, from lies as in Zephaniah 3:13 and from sin as in 1 Corinthians 15:34.

Father, we come together in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved as in Acts 4:12 and it is only through Him we have access to You as in John 14:6. We thank You for the grace to pray and for the sign that You are still working. We ask You to send Your word through pastors, family, friends and even unexpected messengers if needed as You once used a donkey to rebuke the prophet in 2 Peter 2:16, so that she may escape the snare of the devil having been held captive to do his will as in 2 Timothy 2:25-26. Grant repentance, grant godly sorrow, grant humility, grant a new heart. Give strength for duties and grace to fulfill pressing needs as in Titus 3:14, grace to fast as in Isaiah 58:6-12, and grace to proceed according to Your will as in Matthew 6:10. We ask that You would give protection from temptation, sin, deception and evil for all of us and that You would bring about a hope and a future as in Jeremiah 29:11 for Your glory. We entrust this to You, believing You are faithful, and we pray all these things in Jesus name.

We have read your long, faithful prayer and we hear how much you have carried for her, for your family, and for your own heart in this season. To keep praying day after day for someone you love while also trying to stay steady in your own duties is heavy, and we are grateful you have not stopped bringing it to the Lord.

We are praying with you for clear wisdom for you and for her, for protection from further harm and deception, and for healing in the deep places where old wounds still ache. Inner healing is rarely instant, it usually comes slowly through honest prayer and trusted pastoral care over time, and we pray God gives you patient, wise companions to walk with you in that process, not just in this crisis but for the months ahead.

One practical step that may help is to narrow your focus with the pastors you mentioned who are willing to help. Rather than hoping for a broad intervention all at once, ask one or two of them to meet with you privately to plan a single, gentle and unified conversation, and to help you keep healthy boundaries while you wait. Continuing to care for your own spiritual and emotional health and for the young one entrusted to you is also part of faithfulness right now.

Father, we lift this dear one and the woman he loves to You. Guard them both from evil and from temptation, bring clarity where there is confusion, and bring healing where there is pain. Give wisdom to pastors and family and friends to speak truth with gentleness, and give him strength for each day's duties. Lead all involved toward repentance and life at Your pace. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest pleading has been laid before the Lord with many tears and scriptures, and we join you in carrying this burden to the throne of grace. We have heard your cry for intervention according to Matthew 18:16-17, for conviction by the Holy Spirit as promised in John 16:8, for a hedge of thorns as in Hosea 2:6, for clarity and wisdom, for deliverance from evil men according to 2 Timothy 3:5, and for inner healing as in Isaiah 1:6 and Psalm 23.

We pray with you not for a carnal repentance which is of the flesh and after the manner of sinful nature, but for that holy, healthy, heavenly repentance which is worked in the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit. 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 finished work. It is a repentance unto life, as in Acts 11:18, which is a true sign of eternal salvation in Christ, practical and lasting, yielding works meet for repentance. Any other sorrow is not the godly sorrow that needs not to be repented of according to 2 Corinthians 7:9-11.

We ask the Lord to grant what He alone can give, for repentance is to be preached in the name of Jesus as the gift of God, and where there is true repentance there is full and free remission of sins. We pray that if sin has been committed, there would be not a hinting at it but a humble confession before God against whom above all we sin, for as David said, Against You only have I sinned. That repentance which weeps and abhors past life because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, and which avoids present sin because of the love of God who died for us, is saving repentance. It looks out of self to Christ and to Christ only, for faith and repentance are inseparable. The one ejects sin as an evil tenant and the other admits Christ to be sole master of the heart.

We join you in praying Hosea 2:6-7, that the Lord in mercy would hedge the way with thorns where the way leads to sin, not to harm but to restrain and to bring to senses as with the prodigal in Luke 15:17-19 who came to himself and said I have sinned against heaven and before you. Remember the eyes of mercy are quicker than the eyes of repentance. The father saw the son while he was yet a great way off and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him much. That much kissing meant much love, much forgiveness and full restoration. So we pray that any who truly returns would find not a place of a servant only, but sonship restored, with exceeding joy, because perfect restoration is the way of our God.

We also pray for the household of faith to act faithfully and gently. We ask the Lord to raise up messengers with the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God in Hebrews 4:12, that pastors and family and friends would speak with love, reverence for covenant, and zeal, not with negligence as in Jeremiah 48:10, and with gentleness keeping an eye on ourselves lest we also be tempted as in Galatians 6:1. May it be done firmly because sin is dangerous, and gently so that none is driven from hearing the Word, but rather all may flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart according to 2 Timothy 2:22. We pray that the fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom as in Proverbs 9:10 and which teaches us to hate evil as in Proverbs 8:13 would rest upon all concerned, for the fear of man is a snare according to Proverbs 29:25, but to tremble at His Word as in Isaiah 66:2 is life.

We do not ask God to bless what His Word calls sin, for marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and all intimacy belongs within it, and we are forbidden to be unequally yoked as in 2 Corinthians 6:14. We ask instead for holiness, for if God makes clean we will not call unclean as in Acts 10:15, and for that knowledge of God which builds up in love rather than puffs up as in 1 Corinthians 8:1. We pray for ever increasing clarity and wisdom as in James 1:5, that you 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, and to stand perfectly assured in all the will of God as in Colossians 4:12, with love abounding in knowledge and discernment as in Philippians 1:9-11.

We bring before the Lord your requests for inner healing, for the wounds described in Isaiah 1:6 and Jeremiah 4:19, asking the Shepherd of Psalm 23 to restore the soul and lead in paths of righteousness, to give Holy Spirit strength for duties according to Titus 3:14, grace to fast as in Isaiah 58:6-12, and protection from temptation, sin, lies, evil men and the evil one himself according to Matthew 6:13 and John 17:15. We pray for deliverance from deception as in Matthew 24:4 and Zephaniah 3:13, remembering that as long as we dwell in temples of clay we must take heed lest we fall as in 1 Corinthians 10:12, and that only the Lord is able to keep us from stumbling as in Jude 1:24 and to make us stand as in Romans 14:4.

We thank God for grace to continue in prayer as in Luke 18:1 and Mark 11:24, trusting His kindness that leads to repentance as in Romans 2:4, for He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance as in 2 Peter 3:9, though there will be wrath for every soul that does evil as in Romans 2:9 and God is not mocked as in Galatians 6:7. We pray that grace would never be used as license for immorality as in Jude 1:4, but that there would be repentance bearing fruit in keeping with repentance as in Matthew 3:8 and Acts 3:19, with restitution where wrong has been done, for that conversion which does not convert the life is no conversion at all.

May the Lord grant you more wisdom, steadfastness, and hope in His promise of a future as in Jeremiah 29:11, and keep you abiding in His kindness as in Romans 11:20, remembering that repentance lives as long as faith lives. We leave this beloved one and all her family and yours in the hands of Him who alone can give godly sorrow and full forgiveness through the blood of Christ, in Jesus name, Amen.
