️ 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, 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 -- 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 God for the grace He has given you to continue to intercede with perseverance and with tears, for we know that love bears all things and that prayer is not in vain. We are encouraged that you are standing on the promise that He who began a good work in you and in her will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ Philippians 1:6, and we agree that the Lord is not finished and that His kindness is intended to lead to repentance Romans 2:4.

We hear the weight of what you are carrying concerning this woman and her wandering, and we must speak plainly about the sin that has been described. You have asked for a hedge of thorns Hosea 2:6 that she would not be able to overtake her lovers and for grace to confess adultery Exodus 20:14, and you have mentioned online dating and what has only been hinted at without confession. Scripture is clear that to look at another with lustful intent is already adultery in the heart Matthew 5:28, and that all sexual intimacy outside of marriage between a man and a woman is fornication or adultery and is sin before a holy God. We rebuke that sin because God calls all to repentance and because He will not be mocked, for whatever a man sows that he will also reap Galatians 6:7, and those who use the grace of God as license for immorality and deny our only Lord and Master Jesus Christ Jude 1:4 remain under wrath. There will be wrath and tribulation for every soul who does evil Romans 2:9, and we pray with you that she would not merely be spared physical consequences or falsely think herself safe, but that she would truly repent and bear fruit in keeping with repentance Matthew 3:8 and prove her repentance by her deeds Acts 26:20 and 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.

We also lift up with you the need for godly church discipline and family intervention according to Matthew 18:15-17. We agree that when a professing believer is caught in sin, the church is to go first alone, then with two or three witnesses that every word may be established Matthew 18:16, and if she refuses to listen, to tell it to the assembly. This is not harshness but love, that she may be won back and that others may be fearful of sinning 1 Timothy 5:20, and that she may escape the snare of the devil having been held captive to do his will 2 Timothy 2:25-26. We pray that the Holy Spirit will convict her concerning sin and righteousness and judgment John 16:8, and that the Lord would raise up messengers who wield the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God Hebrews 4:12, and who will finish the work they promised with love and reverence and zeal 2 Corinthians 8:11 and not with negligence Jeremiah 48:10. We pray that her pastors, family and friends would fear God rather than man, for the fear of man is a snare Proverbs 29:25, and that they would tremble at His word Isaiah 66:2 and honor Him above all, remembering how the Lord warned Eli and his house because he did not restrain his sons 1 Samuel 2:29, 1 Samuel 3:13, and fulfilled His word 1 Samuel 4:17. We ask that what is done would be done gently but firmly, in the spirit of gentleness, each one looking to himself lest he also be tempted Galatians 6:1, so that she would not be driven away from fellowship but would flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart 2 Timothy 2:22.

Concerning your hope for restoration, we affirm with you the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman as God designed from the beginning, and we pray for a marriage that honors God if it be His will. We caution as you have rightly noted that we must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity, and that two cannot walk together unless they are agreed Amos 3:3. Courtship should always be with the goal of marriage to another believer in Christ, not mere partnership or companionship, and certainly not fornication. If the Lord makes her holy and truly born again and truly repentant, demonstrating repentance unto life with godly sorrow 2 Corinthians 7:10, then we agree that we must not call unclean what God has cleansed Acts 10:15, for all Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching and reproof 2 Timothy 3:16. Yet until such fruit is evident, we counsel you to wait upon the Lord, to guard your own heart, and to seek wisdom, for if any lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all liberally James 1:5.

We pray also for the inner healing you have requested for her and for yourself, for the wounds described as from the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness but wounds and bruises and fresh cuts Isaiah 1:6, and we ask the Lord our Shepherd to restore the soul Psalm 23:3 and to lead beside still waters Psalm 23:2. We pray for clarity and for your love to abound more and more in knowledge and discernment that you may approve the things that are excellent Philippians 1:9, and 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, and to stand fully assured in all the will of God Colossians 4:12. We pray for her sister and for family members and even pastors who need open rebuke Leviticus 19:17, for better is open rebuke than hidden love Proverbs 27:5, and that those who wander from the truth may be turned back James 5:19, with sharp rebuke where needed that they may be healthy in the faith Titus 1:13, and that all would learn the fear of the Lord which is the hatred of evil Proverbs 8:13 and the beginning of wisdom Proverbs 9:10, for the fear of the Lord is wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding Job 28:28.

We remember your own humility in confessing that you have not attained and that you were yourself a chief of sinners to whom much was given 1 Timothy 1:15 and therefore much is required Luke 12:48, and we join you in taking heed lest we fall 1 Corinthians 10:12, knowing we only stand by faith Romans 11:20 and that He is able to make us stand Romans 14:4 and to keep us from stumbling Jude 1:24 until we become spirits of the righteous made perfect Hebrews 12:23, for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord 2 Corinthians 5:8 which is far better Philippians 1:23. We pray for your protection and hers and for the little one and for all, that you would be delivered from temptation Luke 11:4 and from evil men 2 Timothy 3:5 and from the evil one himself Matthew 6:13, John 17:15, and kept from lies Zephaniah 3:13 and deception Matthew 24:4, and that the Lord would give you strength for every duty Titus 3:14 and grace to fast as He chooses Isaiah 58:6 and grace to proceed according to His will Matthew 6:10.

Father, we thank You in advance according to Mark 11:24 that You hear us when we pray according to Your will. Hedge her way with thorns Hosea 2:6 so she cannot find her lovers, grant her godly sorrow that leads to repentance, grant the church courage to speak the truth in love, grant this intercessor ever-increasing clarity, healing, and protection, and cause all involved to hate evil and love righteousness, that Your name may be glorified and that many may fear and turn to You, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved Acts 4:12, and it is only through Him we have access to the Father John 14:6, amen.

 

[hostadmin]

Thank you for sharing this burden so openly with us. We can hear how long you have carried this in prayer for her, for your family, and for the youngster, and how deeply you long for truth and mercy to meet in a way that brings real healing.

Wanting her church and family to step in with both gentleness and firmness is understandable, and we know how heavy it is to wait when you have seen others willing to help but not yet able to act. You are not meant to carry the whole work of intervention yourself. Staying faithful in prayer while letting trusted leaders take their proper responsibility can protect both you and her from added hurt.

One steady step that may help you in this season is to stay closely connected to one mature pastor or counselor who knows the full story and can walk with you week by week. Bring your questions about clarity, fasting, and daily duties to him so you have a consistent sounding board for wisdom and for guarding your own heart from weariness and temptation. Continuing to be faithful in the responsibilities God has placed before you and in caring for the youngster is itself part of the healing you have asked for.

Father, we lift this woman to You for Your mercy, clarity and protection, and we lift our brother to You for inner healing, strength for his duties, and wisdom for each next decision. Guard them both and the child from deception and evil, and give pastors and family courage and gentleness to speak the truth in love. Give our brother peace as he entrusts the outcome to You and grace to keep walking in Your will day by day. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

We have received your many tears and supplications and have brought them before the Lord with you, thanking Him for the grace that keeps you praying and for the confidence you express that He who has begun a good work will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ, Phil 1:6.

Your burden is right and weighty, that she should not merely escape the physical consequences of sin, nor be deceived into thinking herself safe while God is mocked, Gal 6:7, nor use the grace of God as license for immorality, Jude 1:4, but that she should know that repentance unto life which is the gift of God and is preached in the name of Jesus, Luke 24:47. We do not and cannot ask God to bless what He calls sin, for marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman and all intimacy belongs within it, and to be unequally yoked is forbidden, 2 Cor 6:14, as the law says, Deut 22:10, and two cannot walk together except they be agreed, Amos 3:3. What we do ask, and will continue to ask with you, Lk 18:1, is that repentance and remission of sins should be granted to her in His name.

There is a repentance that judgments may produce after a fashion, a carnal repentance that is of the flesh and after the manner of the sinful nature, which does not give God glory, Rev 16:9. True repentance, the repentance which is the work of the Spirit of God and which God accepts, gives God glory. It makes a rainbow with her tears of grief for sin and her glances of hope at the love of Christ and His great finished work. 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, the faith which admits Christ to be sole master of the heart and the repentance which ejects sin as an evil tenant, inseparable the one from the other.

We join you in asking that the Lord would hedge her way with thorns, Hos 2:6-7, so that she cannot overtake her lovers, that online seeking and every provision for the flesh, Matt 5:28, may be blocked, and that adultery, Ex 20:14, may be not merely hinted at but confessed before God and man. Yet we know a hedge alone does not save. The goodness of God leads to repentance, Rom 2:4, not drives by force alone. He draws rather than merely drives. We pray therefore that she may come to herself as the prodigal in Luke 15:17-19, admitting she has sinned against heaven and before God, willing to take the lowest place, demonstrating that godly sorrow which works repentance not to be repented of, 2 Cor 7:9-11, and bearing fruits meet for repentance, Matt 3:8, proving it by deeds, Acts 26:20, receiving the refreshing that comes with returning, Acts 3:19.

For this we also ask with you that the Church and family would obey Matt 18:16-17. You have asked for witnesses to go with the sword of the Spirit, Heb 4:12, gently but firmly, lest she cease to hear the Word at all, yet not negligently, Jer 48:10, but with love, reverence for covenant, and zeal to finish what was promised, 2 Cor 8:11. Let it be done with gentleness, each keeping watch over himself lest he also be tempted, Gal 6:1, and if sin remains, with open rebuke that others also may fear, Lev 19:17, 1 Tim 5:20, Tit 1:13, James 5:19-20. We pray the Lord would raise up pastors who fear God rather than man, Matt 10:28, for the fear of man is a snare, Prov 29:25, and that He would put upon them and upon her the trembling at His word, Isa 66:2-3, remembering Eli, 1 Sam 2:29-30, 1 Sam 3:13-14. May God grant that fear which is the hatred of evil, Prov 8:13, and the beginning of wisdom, Prov 9:10, and that knowledge of God which is not puffed up, 1 Cor 8:1, but is joined to love. We pray too for her sister and for any who have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, 2 Tim 3:5, that they also may be granted repentance to escape the snare of the devil, 2 Tim 2:25-26.

You ask well for clarity, wisdom, and inner healing, Isa 1:6, Ps 23:1-6. We ask with you for more certain wisdom, James 1:5, that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding to walk worthy of the Lord, Col 1:9-10, and to stand fully assured in all the will of God, Col 4:12, that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and discernment to choose the most excellent way and be blameless unto the day of Christ, Phil 1:9-11. Remember that repentance lives as long as faith, it is not an operation once undergone and done, but sweet sister repentance keeps company with the believer till glory. Even now, being forgiven much, you must take heed lest you fall, 1 Cor 10:12, standing only by grace as you continue in His kindness, Rom 11:20, for He alone is able to keep you from stumbling, Jude 1:24, and to make you stand, Rom 14:4. We pray for your healing, for the youngster, for strength for duties, Tit 3:14, for grace to fast when called to it, Isa 58:6-12, and for deliverance for you all from temptation, sin, lies, evil men and the evil one himself, Matt 6:13, John 17:15, Zeph 3:13, that you may 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, and be kept from deception, Matt 24:4, by Christ who is made unto us wisdom, righteousness and holiness.

If the Lord grants true repentance unto life, practical and lasting, not temporary, we know the joy that belongs to restoration. Peter fell by sudden temptation and was soon restored by a look from Christ that broke his heart with bitter, salutary, saving repentance, Luke 22:60-62, and by the threefold charge to feed the sheep, he was set again in his place. So we can speak for all faithful servants, if this is the Church that has been grieved, none would be more willing to receive back one who has sinned grossly and now truly returns, for such will love Christ better than ever, having had much forgiven. Until that hour we continue patient, as you have prayed, showing the perfect patience shown to you as chief of sinners, 1 Tim 1:15-16, not calling unclean whom God makes holy, Acts 10:15, yet not presuming upon grace, but waiting upon Him who is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, though wrath and tribulation remain for every soul that does evil, Rom 2:9.

We will keep praying in Jesus name, Mark 11:24, that the Lord would send His Word effectually, that she would turn and live, and that you, and she, and the household, and the churches concerned, may be kept, healed, and made to walk in the hope and future He has promised, Jer 29:11, to the glory of His grace.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been brought before the Lord with care, and we join you in bringing it to Him again. We have heard your burden for this woman, for her family and her church, and for your own walk, and we will pray as you have asked, according to Scripture.

We agree to ask God to convict of sin as He has promised by His Spirit, John 16:8, to hedge the way with thorns so that sin cannot be pursued without hindrance, Hosea 2:6 and 7, to grant clarity and wisdom, James 1:5, Colossians 1:9 and 10, and to move pastors and family and friends to speak the truth in love and not to hold back from fear of man, Matthew 18:16 and 17, Proverbs 29:25, Matthew 10:28, Isaiah 66:2. We ask that this be done gently but firmly, with an eye on ourselves lest we also be tempted, Galatians 6:1, that it would lead to godly sorrow which works repentance unto salvation without regret, 2 Corinthians 7:9 to 11, and not to a sorrow that leaves the heart unchanged.

Scripture is plain that adultery is not only when a married woman gives herself to another, but also when one who is bound by marriage defiles another, even one who is free. The law is transgressed and the own flesh is injured, and the Lord said that to look with lust is already to commit adultery in the heart, Matthew 5:27 and 28, and that to put away or to take another outside the covenant is adultery, Matthew 5:32. For this reason we cannot ask God to bless or to prosper any sexual relationship or living together outside the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman in marriage, nor any union where two cannot walk together because they are not agreed, Amos 3:3, and are unequally yoked, 2 Corinthians 6:14. Instead we ask God to block every path of online dating and adultery, Exodus 20:14, Matthew 5:28, to expose lies, Zephaniah 3:13, to deliver from temptation and from evil and from evil men and from the evil one himself, Matthew 6:13, John 17:15, 2 Timothy 3:5, and to grant a true turning that bears fruit in keeping with repentance, Matthew 3:8, Acts 26:20, Acts 3:19.

We also pray for what you called inner healing, Isaiah 1:6, Psalm 23:1 to 6, and for the renewing of the mind, that all involved would receive the fear of the Lord which is to hate evil, Proverbs 8:13, and is the beginning of wisdom, Proverbs 9:10, Job 28:28, and be kept from deception, Matthew 24:4. We pray that repentance would not be only tears or words without change. Esau sought the blessing with tears yet found no place of repentance because his repentance was not as it ought to have been, and his later intent to kill his brother showed it. True repentance condemns the sin itself and turns from it. The Church is a spiritual bath that wipes away stains of the soul by many methods of repentance, and though there is no second baptism, repentance still has great force and is able to set free even one who has fallen deep, if he will lay hold on it, and to form Christ again within, Galatians 4:19, Jeremiah 8:4. God in His kindness leads toward repentance, Romans 2:4, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, yet He will not be mocked, Galatians 6:7, and His grace is never license for immorality, Jude 1:4.

We pray also for you, for wisdom and strength for duties, Titus 3:14, for grace to fast, Isaiah 58:6 to 12, for protection that you may not fall, 1 Corinthians 10:12, but stand by His grace, Romans 11:20, Romans 14:4, Jude 1:24, and be kept from stumbling. We ask that your love may abound more and more with knowledge and discernment to choose the excellent path and be blameless until the day of Christ, Philippians 1:9 to 11, Colossians 4:12, and that you and the child and all concerned be delivered from sin and lies and kept in His will, Matthew 6:10 and 13, Luke 11:4.

We will continue to ask the Lord to raise up messengers with the sword of the Spirit, Hebrews 4:12, to rebuke openly where needed, Leviticus 19:17, Proverbs 27:5 and 6, Ezekiel 33:8 and 9, Titus 1:13, James 5:19 and 20, so that she may escape the snare of the devil, 2 Timothy 2:25 and 26, and others may fear sinning, 1 Timothy 5:20, and that the work promised in love and reverence for God and His covenant would be finished and not done negligently, 2 Corinthians 8:11, Jeremiah 48:10. We thank Him in advance, Mark 11:24, trusting that He hears and will bring about a hope and a future for those who turn to Him, Jeremiah 29:11, in Jesus name.
