Grace to Fast, Pray, Isa 58:6-12: Nearness to God, Jam 4:7, Revelation, Eph 1:17 Intimacy, Wisdom, Strength, Direction, Confirmation

[Nochaeld]

Grace to Fast, Pray, Isa 58:6-12 Nearness to God, James 4:7, Revelation, Eph 1:17 Intimacy, Jn 15:7, Wisdom, Col 1:9, Strength, Love Christ Dwells within, Eph 3:16-20, Direction, Jn 10:27, Rom 8:14, Confirmation, Matt 18:16, 2 Cor 13:1 -- Dear Father, thank You for being intimately acquainted with all our ways, Ps 139:3. Very much alone right now for various reasons and requesting "the NEARNESS of GOD to be MY GOOD" Ps 73:28. "Anchor My Soul in the Cleft of The Rock." I ask for wisdom and revelation, Eph 1:17, grace to praise and worship, Ps 149:1-5 and ability to hear Your voice, Jn 10:27...

Bible Study group "doesn't do street preaching, just discipleship" so I have no one to go with me -- the saying is true, "the harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few," Luke 10:2, so I continue to ask for wisdom and direction as obviously this does not align with the Bible that teaches evangelism as a lifestyle as well as Jesus and the Apostles prescribe and demonstrate public proclamation of the gospel, actually gospel -- (euangellion) can be rendered "good announcement" or "good proclamation" as "good news" is heralded abroad, Mark 16:15-16, Luke 24:45-49, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:22-47, Acts 3:12-26, Acts 17:22-34, et cetera... Grace to remain in love but to show whole counsel of God, Acts 20:27...

Though asking grace to pray and fast for my spouse to return with my son for over a year now (with little to show for it presently), nevertheless, I honestly have endeavored to obey God to "Lead the Way" and I trust the word of God shared will not return void, Isa 55:10-11, and the good deeds of love cannot be hidden, 1 Tim 5:25... Help me forgive from the heart and put her into Your hands and I do pray make me a better example in all my life, lifestyle, thoughts, words, deeds, speech actions and most of all reactions, Ps 19:14.

I know the Lord is praying in a similar way as He did for Peter, that though the devil desires to "sift us like wheat, He ever lives to make intercession for us, Heb 7:25, praying my faith won't fail, and afterward I strengthen others, Luke 22:31-32. I ask for the church the gates of hell will not prevail against to resist the devil with me, James 4:7, for nearness to God, James 4:8. Strengthen me with power to know the dimensions of CHRIST'S LOVE, and as the old hymn sets forth, "Though none come with me, still I will follow," (Old Rugged Cross).

Deliver me, my matrimonial spouse and youngster from temptation, sin, deception and lies, Luke 11:4, Matt 6:13, Zeph 3:13, Prov 30:8. Let the Word GO FORTH, keep us from evil people and the evil one, 2 Thes 3:1-2, 3, John 17:15, and let me see together with the rest of the righteous the day the serpent be choked with a great chain by "an angel" Rev 20:2. Thank You in JESUS' NAME...

P.S. -- Thank you for sending an earthquake, Amos 3:6, three (3) mins after I warned her JESUS disciplines and REPROVES those HE LOVES, Rev 3:19, and 1 minute after warning about rejecting church discipline, Matt 18:15-17. DO whatever it takes O Lord Jesus, come quickly, Rev 22:17, Amen.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Articles]

We hear your cry for the nearness of God, and we stand with you in seeking His face with fasting and prayer. The scriptures you’ve shared—Isaiah 58:6-12, James 4:7, Ephesians 1:17—remind us that true intimacy with the Lord comes through humility, obedience, and a heart set on His will. You are not alone in your longing for His presence, for He promises, *"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you"* (James 4:8). We join you in asking for wisdom, revelation, and the grace to hear His voice clearly, as Jesus said, *"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me"* (John 10:27).

Your burden for evangelism is commendable, for the harvest is indeed plentiful, and the laborers are few (Luke 10:2). The Great Commission is not optional—it is a command to all believers to proclaim the gospel, both in word and deed (Matthew 28:19-20). If your Bible study group is neglecting this call, we must gently but firmly remind them that discipleship and evangelism are inseparable. The early church did not confine the gospel to private gatherings; they declared it boldly in the public square (Acts 2:14-41, 17:22-34). We pray for courage for you to step out in faith, trusting that the Lord will go before you. *"Faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it"* (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Your marriage and family are under spiritual attack, and we stand with you in intercession. The enemy seeks to divide what God has joined, but we declare that no weapon formed against your household shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). You have sought to lead with godly wisdom, and though the fruit may not yet be visible, we trust that God’s Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Forgiveness is not a feeling—it is a choice, and you are choosing rightly to release your spouse into God’s hands. We pray that the Lord would soften her heart and bring repentance, 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). May your life be a living testimony of Christ’s love, so that even if she does not yet see, she cannot deny the work of God in you.

The discipline you mentioned—Amos 3:6 and Revelation 3:19—reminds us that God chastens those He loves. We do not rejoice in hardship, but we trust that He is working all things for good (Romans 8:28). Your willingness to endure reproof for the sake of righteousness is a mark of spiritual maturity. We pray that the Lord would continue to refine you, strengthen your faith, and use you to strengthen others, just as He did with Peter (Luke 22:31-32). The battle is the Lord’s, and He has already overcome the evil one (1 John 4:4).

Let us pray together:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who seeks Your nearness above all else. Lord, we ask that You would draw him close, fill him with Your Spirit, and grant him wisdom and revelation as he seeks Your face. Strengthen him in the inner man, that he may know the height, depth, and breadth of Christ’s love (Ephesians 3:16-19). Father, we ask for a fresh anointing of boldness to proclaim the gospel, that the lost would be saved and the church would be stirred to action. For his marriage, we ask that You would restore what has been broken, soften hearts, and bring repentance. Deliver him and his family from temptation, deception, and the schemes of the enemy. Let Your Word go forth and accomplish its purpose. We declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Your church, and we stand in agreement with him for breakthrough. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. In Your precious name we pray, Amen."*

We encourage you to press on, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). The same God who parted the Red Sea, raised Christ from the dead, and built His church on the rock is fighting for you. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good. *"Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9). The Lord is your Rock, your Fortress, and your Deliverer—you are not alone.

Dear friend, we join you in your pursuit of God's nearness. As you fast and pray, we stand with you, believing that God will draw near to you as you draw near to Him (James 4:8). We echo your cry for wisdom, revelation, and the ability to hear God's voice clearly (John 10:27).

We also want to encourage you in your desire to share the gospel. While it's commendable that your Bible study group focuses on discipleship, let's not forget that evangelism is a crucial part of our call as believers. Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20), and the early church boldly proclaimed the gospel in the public square (Acts 2:14-41, 17:22-34). We pray for courage for you and your group to step out in faith, trusting that the Lord will go before you.

In your personal situation, we pray for your marriage and family. We declare that no weapon formed against your household shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We ask God to soften hearts, bring repentance, and restore what has been broken. We also pray for protection against temptation, deception, and the schemes of the enemy (Luke 11:4).

Let's continue to lift you up in prayer, believing that God will answer according to His will and for His glory. We encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus and not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). The Lord is your Rock, your Fortress, and your Deliverer (Psalm 18:2). You are not alone.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
