Father, thank You for grace to pray for her signaling to me You are not finished with 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 unto repentance, 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 -- proving repentance by her deeds, Acts 26:20. Her one sister with a slight inclination toward godliness needs repentance, salvation and church attendance, renewing of the mind according to God's will, and some of her family and even pastors that do attend church need open rebuke, Lev 19:17, Prov 27:5-6, Ezk 33:8-9, Matt 18:15-17, Tit 1:13, James 5:19-20... They (we) ALL need fear of God equating to hatred of evil, Prov 8:13, Job 28:28, the beginning of wisdom, Prov 9:10, and freedom from deception, Matt 24:4, by Christ Jesus who becomes for us immediate Wisdom from God, righteousness by faith, and real, practical holiness...

By no means have I attained anything, but was myself offered forgivness for my sins and repented of them (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

 

[Articles]

We join with you in bringing this burden before the Lord and we thank you for your heart to see her restored through genuine repentance and biblical restoration. We hear your desire 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 the Lord to hedge her way with thorns according to Hos 2:6, and for clarity, protection from evil influences, and inner healing.

We affirm your stand for righteousness and for the biblical process of loving confrontation. Scripture says, If he will not listen to you, 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. This is not harshness but love, for open rebuke is better than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend Prov 27:5-6, and we are to exhort and reprove with all authority Titus 1:13. We pray with you that pastors, family, and friends who have indicated willingness to speak the truth will do so faithfully and not with negligence, for cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently Jer 48:10, but gently and firmly with love and reverence, restoring such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking to yourselves, lest you also be tempted Gal 6:1.

We also pray as you have prayed that God would hedge her way with thorns and make a wall against her so she cannot overtake her lovers Hos 2:6-7. We ask the Lord to block every path of adultery and fornication, for you shall not commit adultery Ex 20:14 and everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart Matt 5:28. Sex outside of marriage, whether called dating, online dating, or a relationship, is fornication when it involves those not married and adultery when it involves those married, and it must be confessed and forsaken. We pray she will not use the grace of God as license for immorality, for there are those who turn the grace of our God into indecency and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ Jude 1:4. We pray she would be kept from evil men, for we are told to turn away from those having a form of godliness but denying its power 2 Tim 3:5, and to 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 join you in praying for true conviction and godly sorrow. When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment John 16:8. Godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret 2 Cor 7:10. We pray she would come to her senses as the prodigal did, who said I have sinned against heaven and in your sight Luke 15:18, and return in humility willing to take the place of a servant, bearing fruit worthy of repentance Matt 3:8 and proving repentance by deeds Acts 26:20. We pray she would repent and turn, so that sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord Acts 3:19. We thank God with you that He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Pet 3:9, and that His kindness is intended to lead us to repentance Rom 2:4, yet we know God will not be mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap Gal 6:7.

We pray for knowledge and wisdom and the fear of the Lord. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up 1 Cor 8:1, and the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding Prov 9:10, and the fear of Yahweh is to hate evil Prov 8:13. We ask God to give you and her and all involved 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 also lift up your own heart for inner healing and strength. 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. We pray He would heal the deep wounds, grant Holy Spirit strength for duties, grace to fast according to Isa 58:6-12, and protection from temptation, deception, and the evil one, for we pray lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one Matt 6:13 and that we would be kept from the evil one John 17:15. We pray you would take heed lest you fall, for let him who thinks he stands be careful that he does not fall 1 Cor 10:12, remembering that it is God who is able to keep you from stumbling Jude 1:24 and able to make you stand Rom 14:4.

Concerning marriage, we affirm with you that marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman and that we must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Cor 6:14. Courtship should be with the goal of godly marriage to another believer, not merely companionship. Can two walk together, unless they have agreed Amos 3:3. If God makes her holy and truly born again and repentant, we rejoice that what God has cleansed, you must not call unclean Acts 10:15, and we trust He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ Phil 1:6. We pray for that perfect patience to be displayed 1 Tim 1:16, with compassion as the father had for the prodigal Luke 15:20, yet always with discernment and a shared vision for His calling.

We pray now together, Father, we thank You for Your mercy and for Your willingness to warn and to chasten in love. We ask You to raise up messengers with the sword of the Spirit, for the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword Heb 4:12. Give boldness to pastors and family to speak the truth in love, putting the fear of God above the fear of man, for the fear of man proves to be a snare Prov 29:25, but blessed is the one who trembles at Your word Isa 66:2. Grant her godly sorrow unto repentance 2 Cor 7:9-11, deliver her from the snare of the devil, having been taken captive to do his will 2 Tim 2:26, and let others also fear sinning 1 Tim 5:20. Hedge her way with thorns that she cannot pursue lovers, grant clarity, guard her from online enticements and adulterous paths, heal her inward wounds, and draw her and her family to the knowledge of Christ. Give our brother wisdom, protection, and steadfastness to continue in Your kindness Rom 11:22, to meet pressing needs Titus 3:14, and to trust Your good plans to give a hope and a future Jer 29:11. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved Acts 4:12, and it is through Him we have access to the Father. Amen.

We have read your prayer and we hear how long and faithfully you have been carrying this. To keep interceding with this kind of detail, with hope for her to come to her senses and find healing and clarity, while also trying to stay steady in your own duties, is a heavy burden. Thank you for sharing it so honestly with us.

We admire your desire for truth to be spoken gently and firmly, and for her to be protected from further harm and from relationships that would pull her further away. Waiting for others to step in can be especially painful, especially when you know some are willing but have not yet acted. It is understandable to feel torn between urgency and wanting this handled in a way that does not push her away from church or from hearing God.

One thing that may help in this season is to narrow the focus a little. If there is one pastor among the five you mentioned whom you trust most, we encourage you to meet with him alone for wisdom for your own next step, not to manage everyone else, but to discern one loving, clear action you can take and to have ongoing support for yourself as you wait. Continuing to care for your own health, work, and walk with the Lord while you pray will also help you remain steady.

Father, we lift this woman to You and ask for Your protecting hand around her, for clarity and healing in her heart, and for deliverance from temptation and deception. We lift this brother as well, grant him wisdom, strength for daily duties, and peace as he trusts You with what he cannot control. Give his family and church courage and gentleness to speak truth in love. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[EnricoLange]

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect, deliver, heal, save (those not saved) and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. I ask this for them, us and all in need. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your burden before the Lord has been heard, and we join you in earnest prayer for this soul and for all who are connected to her by family and by the church.

We thank God for the grace He has given you to pray without ceasing, and to plead the Scriptures with faith as you have done. You ask rightly that the Lord would hedge her way with thorns as in Hosea 2:6 and 7, that she may not overtake those she pursues in sin, and that the Holy Spirit would convict as promised in John 16:8. We will pray with you that God in His mercy would make the way of transgression hard, and that every false refuge would fail, so that she may come to herself as the prodigal did in Luke 15:17 and say, I have sinned against heaven and before Thee.

Yet we would remind you of what has often been preached among us, that judgments alone may produce a carnal repentance which is of the flesh and after the manner of sinful nature, but true repentance is the work of the Spirit of God and gives glory to God. True repentance does not merely fear consequences or seek to avoid shame, for God is not mocked in Galatians 6:7. It weeps and abhors past life because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, and it avoids present sin because of the love of God who died for us. It looks out of self to Christ and to Christ only, for repentance and faith are inseparable. The one ejects sin as an evil tenant, the other admits Christ to be sole Master of the heart. One pulls down, the other builds up.

Therefore we pray not only for restraint but for that repentance unto life spoken of in Acts 11:18, which is a true sign of eternal salvation in Christ. You may know it by its fruits, for true repentance will yield works meet for repentance and will prove itself by deeds as in Acts 26:20 and Matthew 3:8. It is practical and it lasts. It does not wither after a season but lives as long as faith lives. Sweet sister Repentance is not for the commencement of the spiritual life alone, she remains our companion till we enter glory.

You have asked for the church and family to intervene according to Matthew 18:16 and 17, and for pastors to speak the Word with love and reverence and zeal, not with negligence as in Jeremiah 48:10. This is right and according to the Lord's order. We pray that those who go will go gently and firmly, with the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God in Hebrews 4:12, and with an eye upon themselves lest they also be tempted as in Galatians 6:1. Let it be done not to drive with harshness, but to draw, for the goodness of God leads to repentance as in Romans 2:4. The Lord does not merely drive men as He drove Cain, He draws with cords of love. May those who speak be faithful to warn as in Ezekiel 33:8 and 9 and Leviticus 19:17, and may they do so with tears, desiring that she may repent and escape the snare of the devil being taken captive to do his will as in 2 Timothy 2:25 and 26, and that others also may fear to sin as in 1 Timothy 5:20.

We also hear your prayer for inner healing according to Isaiah 1:6 and Psalm 23, and for wisdom and clarity according to James 1:5 and Colossians 1:9. Know that there is abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but the very leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations as in Revelation 22:2. The least thing about Christ is healing. When Jesus healed the sick of the palsy He said, Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee, for pardon and healing are one in Him as in Isaiah 33:24. He heals the broken in heart as in Psalm 147:3, and He changes the life blood and makes the nature other than it was before. We pray that for you, for her, for the child and for all concerned, you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and discernment as in Philippians 1:9 to 11, and that you may stand perfectly assured in all the will of God as in Colossians 4:12.

We affirm with you the historic and holy way of the Lord, that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that the intimate union and the dwelling together belong within that covenant alone. We cannot ask God to bless what He calls sin, whether it be adultery as in Exodus 20:14, impurity of heart as in Matthew 5:28, or the unequal yoke as in 2 Corinthians 6:14. To do so would be to use the grace of God for license as warned in Jude 1:4. Instead we ask Him to grant repentance that bears fruit, to deliver from temptation as in Matthew 6:13 and Luke 11:4, from lies as in Zephaniah 3:13, from evil men and imposters as in 2 Timothy 3:5, and from the evil one himself as in John 17:15. We pray that she would 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.

For yourself, we pray that you may be kept humble and watchful, for you have well said that 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. As long as we dwell in bodies of clay as in 2 Corinthians 5:1, we stand only by His grace if we continue in His kindness as in Romans 11:20. May He grant you Holy Spirit strength for duties as in Titus 3:14, grace to fast and to pray, and protection from deception as in Matthew 24:4. May He who began a good work in you perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ as in Philippians 1:6.

We will continue with you in prayer, asking that the Lord would raise up faithful messengers, put His fear where the fear of man has been a snare as in Proverbs 29:25, and grant to all a hatred of evil which is the fear of the Lord as in Proverbs 8:13 and the beginning of wisdom as in Proverbs 9:10. We ask that repentance and remission of sins would be preached in the name of Jesus as in Luke 24:47, not on our authority but on His, and that repentance would be received as the gift of God.

May the Lord in His perfect patience grant what is best for His glory and for the good of every soul concerned, and may He give you grace to proceed according to His will as in Matthew 6:10, trusting His promise that whatsoever you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive as in Mark 11:24.
