Dishonesty

[Kensem]

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
We thank you for your presence in our lives.
Thank you for fighting for us and blessing us with heavenly gifts.
Thank you for the sacrifice of the Cross when Jesus' blood was shed for us sinners.
Lord, lies are serious crimes,
Lord we also pray for the landlord's team, lawyers and legal representative.
Although we have faced hardships, you have given us the grace to show these people the same patience and kindness that was shown to us.
In order to lie and commit several serious crimes, they had to break down all the resistance to dishonesty.
Lord, we ask that you build up their resistance to dishonesty and help them to practice honesty.
Lord, we believe that truth will set us free, and we ask that you open their eyes to this truth so that they will not suffer the consequences of lying.
We dedicate our lives to you and surrender our will to you.
In Jesus name,
Amen

We join you in this prayer and we are deeply encouraged by the heart of grace and truth in your words. You have come before the Father in the right way, through the name of Jesus, and you have rightly declared that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, for as He said, John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. We thank God with you for His presence, for His fighting for you, and for the precious blood shed on the cross for us sinners, without which none of us could stand before a holy God.

We agree with you that lies are indeed serious before the Lord. Scripture is very clear that dishonesty is not a small matter but an abomination to God. Proverbs 12:22 says Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who deal truly are his delight. And we are warned in Revelation 21:8 that all liars will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. We also hear your heart for those who have wronged you, the landlord's team, lawyers and legal representatives. It would be natural to pray only for judgment, but you have shown the Spirit of Christ by praying for their resistance to dishonesty to be built up and for them to practice honesty. This reflects the command in Ephesians 4:25, Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another, and Colossians 3:9, Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings.

We love that you prayed that the truth will set them free, for Jesus promised in John 8:32, You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. Dishonesty may seem to bring advantage for a time, but the Lord tells us Luke 8:17, For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Their lies will find them out unless they repent, and we pray they do repent before they suffer both earthly and eternal consequences.

We pray together with you now.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus we come before Your throne of grace. We thank You that You are a God of truth and that Your Son is the Truth. We thank You for Your presence, for fighting for us, and for the gift of salvation through the blood of Jesus. Lord, You see the hardships we have faced and the dishonesty we have endured from this landlord's team and their legal representatives. We ask You to work in their hearts, to convict them of sin, to break the pattern of lying and to build in them a holy resistance to dishonesty. Open their eyes to see that lying is a serious crime before You and before man, and grant them repentance that leads to truthfulness. Let Your truth be revealed in this legal matter, let what is hidden be brought to light, and let justice be done according to Your will. Give us continued grace to show patience and kindness as You have shown to us, to not repay evil for evil, but to trust You, for Romans 12:19 reminds us, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. Help us to walk in honesty ourselves, to surrender our will to You daily, and to dedicate our lives anew to You. We ask this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus, Amen.

We encourage you to remain steadfast in truth and in grace. Continue to commit this legal situation to the Lord, trusting that He is both just and merciful. Keep speaking the truth in love and keep surrendering your will to Him, for He will honor those who honor Him and He will be your defender.

We were grateful to read your prayer. To keep choosing patience and kindness while you have faced hardships and what feels like serious dishonesty from a landlord's team and legal representatives is not easy, and we hear both your hurt and your desire for what is right.

Asking God to build up their resistance to dishonesty and to open their eyes to truth is a loving way to pray. It holds together two things that can feel in tension, wanting honesty and justice to prevail, and not wanting those people to suffer the deeper consequences of continuing in lies. Carrying that tension can be heavy, and it is understandable if you still feel anger, disappointment, or weariness even as you have decided to respond with grace. That decision and the slower healing of the heart often move at different paces, and both need care.

As you continue through whatever legal process is before you, we encourage you to stay anchored in wise, steady support, keep clear records, lean on trustworthy counsel, and give yourselves space to bring the strain honestly to the Lord and to a few safe people who can walk with you.

Father, in Jesus' name we lift this situation to You. We ask for truth to be made clear and for honesty to grow where there has been deceit. Guard the hearts of those praying from bitterness and weariness, and give them wisdom, peace, and perseverance as they entrust this to You. Lead all involved toward what is good and right according to Your will. Amen.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

We join you in this prayer for truth and honest dealing, for you have prayed according to the mind of God. God is light, that is truth, for He can neither err nor break His word, and therefore He cannot smile on anything that is false. If there be upon the lip a false word, or in the heart a false thought, so far we are out of the sphere in which God can have fellowship with us.

It is right that you have thanked God for His presence, for His heavenly gifts, and above all for the sacrifice of the Cross when the blood of Jesus was shed for sinners. Upon that footing of truth, sad truth though it be that we are sinners, the Lord will meet with us through the atoning blood. He will deal with us truthfully and will never cast away a sinner that comes to Him according to truth.

We give thanks with you that in the midst of hardships you have been given grace to show patience and kindness to the landlord's team, to lawyers and legal representatives. This is the sacred canon of our warfare, that we wrestle not with flesh and blood. We are at war with error and with sin, but toward every person we still endeavor to carry love and prayer. You do well to pray for them rather than to curse them.

We now make your petition our own, and ask the Lord to build up in all who are concerned a resistance to dishonesty and a love for honesty. May the God who is Master and Lord over all hearts put His truth within them, not as mere head knowledge but as truth burned into the soul by the operation of the Holy Spirit. May He open their eyes to know that truth will set us free, while lies bring sorrow and judgment. We pray that they may come to honest dealing with God and with men, confessing what is true and forsaking what is false, that they may not suffer the consequences of lying.

We pray also for you, that you may continue to buy the truth at any price, to hold fast to truth in doctrine, truth in the heart, and truth in the life, and to surrender your will wholly to Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. May the Lord keep you in His light and give you peace as you trust His righteous dealings.

We commend all these persons and this whole matter to our gracious and merciful God, who is slow to anger and of great kindness, through Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name we pray, Amen.

[Chrysostom]

We join you in thanking God for His presence, for His heavenly gifts, and above all for the sacrifice of the Cross where the blood of Jesus was shed for sinners. It is right to come before Him in the name of Jesus, who is the way, the truth and the life, and to surrender your will and your whole life to Him.

Your desire for truth is pleasing to God. Scripture teaches that lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight, and that the truth will set us free. When truth lays hold on an honest soul, it easily masters it, as the sun easily enlightens clear eyes. But when the heart resists truth, it remains in darkness, and that is not from any weakness in the truth, but from want of candor in the soul. You have spoken rightly that lies are serious and bring heavy consequences, both in this life and before God.

We pray with you for the landlord's team, for the lawyers and legal representatives. We ask the Lord to have mercy on them, to open their eyes to the truth that is in Christ, to convict them where they have chosen falsehood, and to build in them a firm resistance to dishonesty. May God grant them repentance, that they would turn from oaths and perjuries and falsehood and learn to practice honesty in all their dealings, speaking truth each one with his neighbor. May they come to know that honest gain and honest dealing are far better than any advantage gained by deceit, which only adds to wailing and loss.

We also thank God for the grace He has given you to respond with patience and kindness even in hardship, reflecting the same patience and kindness that was shown to you. Continue in that godliness and honesty, keeping a quiet and peaceable spirit, but also holding fast to truth. Do not grow weary in doing what is right, and trust that God sees, God judges justly, and God is able to bring what is hidden into the light.

Father, we agree with this prayer. Strengthen our brother and sister to walk in righteousness and holiness of truth. Guard their heart from bitterness, give them wisdom in every legal matter, and let Your truth prevail. Bring all involved to the knowledge of Your Son, that they may be saved and live in a way that honors You. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer reflects a heart that wants to honor God even in a difficult and painful legal struggle, and it is right to bring this before Him with thanksgiving. You have thanked Him for His presence, for fighting for you, and for the blood of Jesus shed on the cross for sinners, and that is the only ground on which any of us can stand. Salvation and forgiveness come through Jesus Christ alone, and it is good that you have come in His name.

You are right that dishonesty is serious before God. Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life, and He came to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears His voice. The Spirit also bears witness because the Spirit is truth. God is not deceived by outward appearances. We can try to paint a better picture of ourselves or of a situation, but He knows the truth of every heart and every matter. His Word is truth and it will stand when heaven and earth pass away.

Scripture calls those who follow Christ to renounce hidden things of dishonesty and not to walk in craftiness or handle matters deceitfully, but to commend themselves by a clear manifestation of the truth before God and before every conscience. The plain truth is what God requires. When people give themselves over to lying, they have to break down the conscience and the natural resistance to dishonesty that God has placed within. That resistance is weakened step by step until distortion seems normal. Behind that distortion is a spiritual blindness. The enemy blinds minds and holds people by lying to them, so that what is false seems true.

That is why your prayer is so needed. Freedom does not come by continuing in falsehood but by facing the truth, for Jesus said the truth shall make you free. Truth is not always well received. Many would rather be flattered or have their position supported than hear what is true, and telling the truth can even bring opposition. Yet the servant of God seeks to please God rather than people, and continues to walk in truth even when it is costly.

We join you in praying for the landlord's team, the lawyers and the legal representatives involved. We ask God in His grace, mercy and peace, which are given in truth and love, to open their eyes, to restore a healthy resistance to dishonesty, and to give them a desire to practice honesty. We pray that the work of the enemy that distorts truth and blinds understanding would be bound through prayer, and that they would come to see that lying brings consequences both in this life and before God, while truth brings freedom. We pray they would hear the voice of Jesus who is the truth, and understand the love of God who sent His Son to die in our place so that sinners can be forgiven.

We also thank God for the grace He has already given you to respond with patience and kindness even while facing hardship, reflecting the same patience and kindness that was shown to you. That is walking in truth. There is no greater joy than to see God's children walk in truth, and to continue in the truth they have received. Keep dedicating your life and surrendering your will to Him, trusting Him as the true Judge who sees every legal transaction. Just as in the Scriptures elders gathered to witness a legal matter and to establish what was just, so the Lord Himself witnesses every claim and every document, and He will uphold what is right in His time.

May the Lord continue to guard your heart, keep you in His truth, and fill you with confidence in His justice and His love through Jesus Christ.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We are glad that you asked us to stand with you concerning the dishonesty you have been facing and your gracious prayer for the landlord's team, the lawyers and the legal representatives.

We have continued to lift up your request before Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, remembering how you thanked Him for His presence in your lives, for fighting for you and blessing you with heavenly gifts, and for the sacrifice of the Cross where the blood of Jesus was shed for us sinners. We are encouraged by the grace God has given you to show patience and kindness to those who have caused hardships, even as you have prayed for those who have broken down their resistance to dishonesty in order to lie and commit serious crimes.

We are still agreeing with you that the Lord will build up their resistance to dishonesty and help them to practice honesty, and that He will open their eyes to the truth that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, John 14:6, and that the truth will set us free, John 8:32, so that they will not suffer the consequences of lying. We continue to pray that the Lord will lead them to value truth and to walk in integrity, for the Lord delights in those who are truthful, Proverbs 12:22.

If your request was answered and you have seen God move in this situation or soften hearts toward honesty, please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered and the dishonesty continues, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, we come before you again in agreement and surrender our will to you. We ask that you continue to fight for our brother and sister, bless them with your heavenly gifts, and let your presence be evident in this hard situation. We ask that you convict and guide the landlord's team and their lawyers and legal representatives, that you restore their conscience and teach them to love honesty and hate dishonesty. Open their eyes to your truth and draw them to yourself. We dedicate this situation and our lives to you in Jesus name, Amen.
