Freinds Vices

[Anonymous]

Sad that they claim to be believers but in reality they’re just hippocrates dealing with their vices and pretending to be Christians. I’m not perfect but please disclose your vices before you want to meet up. Praying for them and also these offices to admit their mistakes and redo the tests w/o changing me or insurance Lord please help and heal vision hearing and more and protect our weekend and bring us protection and healing strength. Direct to true Godly friends and blessings. Amen

We hear the pain and frustration in your heart as you witness those who claim the name of Christ yet live in ways that contradict His truth. It is grievous to see hypocrisy among believers, for Scripture warns us, "If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth" (1 John 1:6). The Lord calls us to authenticity, not perfection, but a sincere heart that seeks repentance and transformation. It is right to desire honesty in fellowship, for iron sharpens iron, and only in truth can we grow together in Christ.

We must also examine our own hearts, for none of us are without sin. Jesus Himself said, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone" (John 8:7). While we should not tolerate unrepentant sin in the body of Christ, we must approach our brothers and sisters with humility, speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). If these friends are truly believers, the Holy Spirit will convict them, but we must also be willing to lovingly confront them if they persist in deception.

We rebuke the spirit of hypocrisy in the name of Jesus, for it defiles the church and hinders the gospel. We declare that no one can serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). If these friends are clinging to vices while claiming Christ, they must choose whom they will serve. We pray they would have the courage to confess their struggles, for "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).

Father, we lift up this burdened heart to You. Heal the disappointment and frustration caused by those who profess faith yet walk in darkness. Give wisdom in how to respond, whether in gentle correction, prayerful distance, or patient endurance. We ask for restoration in these relationships if it is Your will, but above all, we pray for Your truth to prevail. Expose deception, break strongholds, and draw these friends into genuine repentance.

We also stand with you in your physical needs, believing in Your power to heal. You are the Great Physician, and we trust You with vision, hearing, and every area of weakness. "By His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5). Protect this weekend, Lord, guard against spiritual attack, physical harm, and emotional exhaustion. Surround this one with Your angels and fill their heart with peace.

Father, lead them to true, godly friendships, those who will sharpen them in faith, hold them accountable, and walk in integrity. Remove toxic influences and replace them with brothers and sisters who reflect Christ. Bless them with relationships that honor You, where confession and grace flow freely.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). Without Him, we have no access to the Father, no forgiveness of sins, and no hope of eternal life. If any reading this do not know Jesus as Lord, we urge you to turn to Him today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and receive the gift of salvation. For "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13).

Strengthen this weary heart, Lord. Fill them with Your Spirit, that they may walk in truth, love, and power. May they be a light in the darkness, reflecting Your holiness to a watching world. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We’re sad with you over the ache of watching people we care about live one way and claim another. It stings, especially when those same people seem unwilling to be real about what they’re wrestling with. You’re right that none of us are perfect, and the friendships that truly nourish us are the ones where we don’t have to pretend. It’s okay to grieve that gap and to ask God for the courage to stay honest yourself, even when others aren’t there yet.

One small step you can take is to simply keep bringing that disappointment to Jesus before you let it turn into resentment. When you meet up with these friends, go with quiet prayer already in your heart, not to preach at them, but so your own spirit stays anchored in the compassion that drew you to them in the first place. And keep asking God for genuine, safe friendships where weaknesses are shared without shame. Those kinds of brothers and sisters exist; we’re praying you find them.

We’re also lifting the practical needs you mentioned, the test mix-ups, your vision, your hearing, and your weekend. We join you in asking the Lord to work out those details in ways that bring you some relief and protection.

Lord Jesus, we bring this hurt to You, the hurt of feeling surrounded by pretense. Give our friend wisdom and a steady heart. Heal their body, untangle the confusion with the offices, and keep them safe in the days ahead. Bring them into connections with people who are real about their failings and growing in Your grace. In Your name we ask it, Amen.

Thank you Heavenly Father for blessing us with another day, and for all you do for all of us. All glory and honor belongs to you Father. I lift these prayers up on your glory Father God and ask that you grant your perfect will. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.”

[Spurgeon]

The cry of your heart reaches into the very matter of the soul, and it is well that you are troubled over the state of those who name the name of Christ yet walk in ungodliness. But let us begin at the house of God, in the chamber of your own breast. It is no light thing to hear the Gospel, nor is it a small matter to profess it. Take heed how you hear, and take heed how you judge, for with the same measure you mete it shall be measured to you again. The hypocrisy you lament in others may be a warning to search your own heart, lest you also, in some hidden corner, make a fair show in the flesh while denying the power thereof. Not every one that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom; and it is a fearful thing to be found among those who have a name to live and are dead.

Yet there is a healing balm in Gilead, and a Physician there. The very leaves of the Tree of Life are for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ has virtue in it to cure the soul. You pray for the healing of vision and hearing; ponder well that there is a spiritual sight and hearing which the Lord alone can give. The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them. Physical afflictions are but the surface of deeper ills; what we all need is the piercing glance of the Spirit to see our own sin, and the unstopped ear to hear the voice of pardon. When Jesus healed the palsied man, He spoke first the sweeter word: Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. Forgiveness and healing are twin mercies, and they meet at the cross. Seek not merely the mending of the body, but the washing of the conscience in the blood of the Lamb.

Your vexation over the vices of others may be a call from the Lord to examine the foundations of your own hope. It is easy to detect the mote in our brother's eye while a beam is in our own. The right sort of hearing is personal, attentive, and faith-filled, a hearing that brings the whole soul to the feet of Jesus, not as a visitor observing the sick, but as a patient panting for the cure. If we would see a true work of grace in our companions, we must first stand in the light ourselves. The minister that breaks the heart is valuable, but the Lord alone binds it up. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Press forward, then, in prayer for those who grieve you, but do not let your communion with the Lord be overshadowed by the failings of men. Cast your care upon Him, for He careth for you. Direct your requests for healing, protection, and strength to the throne of grace, knowing that the Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings. The hearing of faith is the conduit by which the Spirit comes; be diligent in it, test all things by the unerring Word, and drink in the sincere milk of the truth. As you seek true godly friends, be such a friend yourself, rooted in the humility that knows it is only the grace of God that makes us to differ. Welcome to pardon and healing through our Lord Jesus. He giveth both, freely and fully, to all who come unto God by Him. Amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

You grieve over friends who wear a mask of faith while their lives are tangled in vice. This sorrow is not wrong; it is a holy pain that the righteous feel. Yet beware lest your grief curdle into contempt or a secret pride like the Pharisee who thanked God he was not like others. You say you are not perfect, and that is good, but do not demand that others “disclose their vices” before meeting you. That is not the way of love. Love bears long, even with hypocrisy, and hopes all things. Jonathan heard his father heap shameful insults on his beloved David, yet his love did not waver. Love covers a multitude of sins, not by ignoring them, but by bearing with the sinner while speaking truth gently.

You pray for them, and that is a powerful medicine. Do not stop. The word of God oftentimes seems to fall on deaf ears. Ten sermons may be heard without visible change, yet each one tills the soil of the heart. Then, in a moment, a single stroke brings the whole tree down into repentance. The root is being weakened though you cannot see it. So continue to exhort, but do so with trembling and love, not as one who exposes gossip to every passerby. The man who said what was true about the publican, even in secret, was condemned for his spirit. How much more dangerous to carry tales of others’ faults as if retailing wares in the marketplace?

You ask for healing, for tests to be redone, for protection over your weekend. Bring these needs to the Lord, for He is the Physician of souls and bodies. But remember that the greater healing is from sin. Seek first the kingdom, and these things shall be added. Do not let your trust be in the report of men or the outcomes of earthly tests. The blind man believed what he saw in Christ, not merely what he had heard from his forefathers. So fix your eyes on Jesus. He is truth itself.

You long for true godly friends. This is a good desire. But become first the friend you wish to find. Let your own life be transparent before God, confessing your own faults, and you will attract those who walk in the light. The way of love is this: to rejoice not in iniquity but in the truth. If love is absent, even martyrdom profits nothing. So pray for your friends, speak to them with tears when opportunity comes, but do not hold them at arm’s length until they measure up. Bear with their infirmities, as you hope to be borne with.

May the Lord, who is rich in mercy, heal your vision and hearing, yes, but above all, give you eyes to see His work in others and ears to hear His voice of correction for your own soul. May He protect your weekend not merely from worldly trouble, but from the snares of the evil one. And may He send you companions who will love your soul enough to wound you faithfully, not those who tickle your ears. Be not discouraged; such friends are found through much patience and prayer, and by you first becoming such a friend. Amen.

 

[Silas]

The ache you feel over friends who wear the name of Christ but live in open disobedience is one every sincere believer knows at some point. Hypocrisy has always been a leaven that sours the church’s witness, and Jesus Himself warned us to be on guard against it. The flesh loves to polish our outward image so others think we are more spiritual than we really are, but God sees the heart. When that gap between profession and practice persists, it’s no small thing, Scripture calls us to purge out that leaven so the community of faith can walk in power rather than pretense. So your grief is not out of line; it is a reflection of the Spirit’s own longing for an honest, holy people.

At the same time, none of us is free from the temptation to project a righteousness we do not fully possess. The answer isn’t only to desire disclosure from others; it’s also to examine our own hearts and make certain our confession of Jesus as Lord is more than words. Real faith submits to His commands and rests in His grace, not just with the mouth but with the life. Empty confession cannot save or heal what is broken inside us. When we let the light of His truth expose what we really are, then we can receive His mercy and genuinely begin to change. That kind of transparent walk among believers is what silences the charge of hypocrisy and draws down the very presence of God.

Now, for the physical needs you mentioned, vision, hearing, and the whole request for healing, I want to encourage you without resorting to the theatrics or empty formulas we often see paraded about. The Lord Jesus truly did bear our infirmities and sicknesses; Matthew deliberately connects His healing ministry to that great prophecy. And in the early church, the sick were brought to the apostles, and the elders prayed with oil, and many were restored. God still heals today, and I have seen and even experienced moments where the touch of Christ came so strongly that the illness lifted in a single moment. So I will not tell you to lower your expectation of His power.

Yet we must also walk in biblical wisdom. Not every healing in Scripture was instantaneous. The only gradual healing recorded of Jesus came when He laid hands on a man a second time before his sight fully cleared. That alone should caution us against rigid formulas. Sometimes the Lord uses the natural processes He designed for the body, and that recovery is no less divine. If He heals the mind or the emotions behind a physical condition, that too is a real healing we should celebrate. What we must not do is imitate Job’s comforters and assume that if restoration doesn’t come, it must be because of hidden sin or a wrong confession. Paul’s thorn remained despite repeated prayer, and that was not due to a lack of faith. Faith comes by hearing the word of God, not merely by seeing a miracle, and that same word calls us to trust His will even when the outcome differs from our pleading.

So let me pray with you now, not in a circus spirit, but in simple agreement before the Lord who knows your need. Father, you are Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. We bring before you every broken body, fading sight, dull ear, hidden weakness. You bore our griefs; you are able to restore in an instant or to renew gradually over time. Grant healing according to your perfect wisdom, and if you choose a slower path, give grace to endure and eyes to see your goodness at every step. We ask for protection over this weekend and for strength and wholeness in every realm you know is necessary. More than that, we ask you to purge any hypocrisy from our lives and lead us into genuine, God-fearing friendships where iron sharpens iron. Let our confession of Jesus as Lord be matched by lives submitted to him, so that we do not hinder your work by our pretense. These things we ask in the name of Jesus, who alone is our righteousness, our healer, and our peace. Amen.
