️ 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.

We join with you in bringing this burden before the Lord, and we hear the ache and the holy desire behind these prayers. You are asking for what Scripture itself models, for the church and family to intervene according to Matt 18:16-17, for the Holy Spirit to convict according to John 16:8, for God to hedge her way with thorns as in Hos 2:6 so that she cannot overtake her lovers, for clarity, for her to turn away from evil men as warned in 2 Tim 3:5, for inner healing where Isaiah says 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, and for the restoration of the Shepherd in Ps 23:1-6, and we agree that this is a right and biblical way to pray.

We also hear your heart that she would stop sinning and receive the knowledge of God, for knowledge puffs up but love builds up 1 Cor 8:1, and that the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom Prov 9:10, and that the fear of Yahweh is to hate evil Prov 8:13. That is the true knowledge you are seeking for her, not mere information but a heart that hates what God hates and loves what God loves.

We thank God with you for the grace to keep praying, and we agree that He who began a good work in her will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ Phil 1:6 if she is truly His. We join you in praying Hos 2:6-7 over her, that God would hedge up her way with thorns and make a wall against her so that she follows after her lovers but does not overtake them, that she would be frustrated in sin and come to her senses as the prodigal did when he came to himself and said I have sinned against heaven and in your sight Luke 15:17-19, with humility willing to take the place of a servant. That is godly sorrow which works repentance to salvation which brings no regret 2 Cor 7:9-11, and we pray she would demonstrate repentance unto life, not mere regret or words.

We understand your willingness to be as the father of the prodigal who saw him while he was still far off and was moved with compassion and ran Luke 15:20, to demonstrate the perfect patience of Christ as shown to us who were chief of sinners 1 Tim 1:15-16. This is beautiful, and yet we must gently encourage and also rebuke where Scripture requires. If she has pursued lovers outside of marriage, Scripture calls that fornication and, if involving another's spouse, adultery, and we are commanded to flee sexual immorality 1 Cor 6:18 and that marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers Heb 13:4. Any talk of lovers is not a relationship to be restored but sin to be repented of. We must not call unclean what God has cleansed Acts 10:15, as you rightly said, but we also must not call clean what God still calls unclean until there is true new birth and holiness. Therefore we agree with you that you must not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever 2 Cor 6:14, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity, and as the law says you shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together Deut 22:10, and can two walk together unless they have agreed Amos 3:3. A courtship that honors God must be between two born again believers with the clear goal of marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, not a boyfriend and girlfriend arrangement or a return to fornication. Her previous promise to support your calling as an evangelist and missionary is not sufficient if she ran from counsel and from those with backbone to speak truth. Promises without repentance and without a shared vision in Christ are not a foundation for marriage. If God truly makes her holy and gives her a new heart, then and only then would such a union be considered, and even then only with the full blessing and accountability of godly counsel and the church.

We join you in praying that God's kindness would lead her to repentance Rom 2:4, 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, knowing that there will be wrath and tribulation for every soul that does evil Rom 2:9. We ask with you that God would warn her through her family, her church, her friends, relatives, even strangers if need be, as He even used a donkey to rebuke the prophet's madness 2 Peter 2:16. We pray that pastors and friends who have said they are willing to bring the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God Heb 4:12 would actually do so and finish the work they said they would do with love and reverence for God and for covenant and with zeal 2 Cor 8:11, not with negligence for cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently Jer 48:10. We pray that any pastor who is family would fear God more than family, for we should not fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna Matt 10:28, and that God would put within them a trembling at His word for to this man will I look even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit and who trembles at my word Isa 66:2, for the fear of man proves to be a snare but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe Prov 29:25. You recalled how Eli honored his sons above God 1 Sam 2:29-30 and did not restrain them 1 Sam 3:13-14 and how judgment fell 1 Sam 4:17-18, and we pray no such pattern would be repeated, that those set as watchmen would speak.

We pray this intervention would be done gently but firmly because of the danger of sin, so that she would not stop attending church but would flee youthful lusts and follow after righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart 2 Tim 2:22, and that those who restore would do so in a spirit of gentleness looking to themselves lest they also be tempted Gal 6:1. We pray that God would grant her repentance so she may escape the snare of the devil having been taken captive by him to do his will 2 Tim 2:25-26, and that as some are rebuked before all, others also may be in fear 1 Tim 5:20.

We are encouraged that you continue in prayer and do not faint Luke 18:1, and that you thank Him in advance believing that whatever you ask in prayer believing you will receive Mark 11:24, and that you trust He is working to give a hope and a future Jer 29:11. We share that hope while also surrendering the outcome to His perfect will, knowing that even if He does a deep work in her, His will for your life may still be a godly spouse elsewhere, and that true love wants her holiness more than it wants reunion.

So we pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You only through the name of Jesus Christ for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved and no other way to the Father except through Him John 14:6, and we thank You for that access. We lift this dear woman to You, wherever she is, whatever she is doing. We ask You to convict her by Your Holy Spirit of sin, righteousness and judgment John 16:8, to hedge her way with thorns Hos 2:6, to disappoint and frustrate every path of fornication and rebellion so that she cannot succeed in sin. Give her clarity of mind, remove deception, cause her to see evil men for what they are and to turn away from those having a form of godliness but denying its power 2 Tim 3:5. Heal her inwardly, Lord, for You are the Shepherd who makes us lie down in green pastures and restores our soul Ps 23:1-3, bind up the wounds and bruises Isa 1:6, bring her to godly sorrow and true repentance 2 Cor 7:10. Grant her the fear of You which is the beginning of wisdom Prov 9:10, and cause her to hate evil Prov 8:13. If there is any work You began in her, perfect it Phil 1:6, bring her to the place of the prodigal coming to his senses Luke 15:17, confessing she has sinned against heaven and before You. Raise up messengers who will faithfully wield the sword of the Spirit Heb 4:12, pastors and family and friends who will not fear man Prov 29:25 but will tremble at Your word Isa 66:2, who will love her enough to tell her the truth gently and firmly Gal 6:1, that she might be saved from wrath Rom 2:9 and know Your kindness leading to repentance Rom 2:4. For this brother who prays, give him continued grace to intercede without idolatry, to guard his heart, to remain pure and not be unequally yoked 2 Cor 6:14, to desire marriage only as You define it, holy and between a man and woman in Christ, and to trust Your will above his own. Let Your will be done in both lives, and let all be done for Your glory and for the good of souls, that sin would be exposed, that others would fear 1 Tim 5:20, and that if she truly repents she would flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness 2 Tim 2:22. We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We hear how long and how earnestly you have been carrying this, and how much you want to see her surrounded by people who love her enough to walk with her honestly and gently. Thank you for trusting us with something so personal and painful.

Your desire for family and church to be involved comes from a good place. We have seen that real growth seldom happens in isolation. We all need community to help us see clearly, to stay accountable, and to be encouraged toward what is right. That is true for her and it is also true for you as you wait and pray. You were not meant to carry this burden alone or to keep watch over every detail.

It can help to let a couple of trusted pastors or mature brothers who know your story carry part of this with you. Let them do the shepherding work you are praying for, while you stay rooted where God has placed you, in worship and in fellowship, and commit her to the Lord day by day without chasing updates. That steady, quiet faithfulness often protects your own heart and keeps your prayers kind and patient.

We are grateful for your willingness to keep praying and to trust God with what only He can do.

Father, we lift this woman to You and we lift our brother who loves her and is praying for her. Draw her toward truth and wholeness and keep her from harm. Give him wisdom, peace and strength to walk faithfully where You have him, and guide the families and pastors involved with love and courage. In Jesus' name, amen.
