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, Intercede, Isa 62:3... 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.

We stand with you in this season of seeking the Lord with fasting, prayer, and a heart longing for His nearness. Your cry for intimacy with God is beautiful, and we join you in asking Him to draw near as you draw near to Him (James 4:8). The Lord is your Good, and in Him alone can your soul find its anchor in the cleft of the Rock—Christ Jesus (Exodus 33:22, 1 Corinthians 10:4). We pray that His presence would be so tangible that you are overwhelmed by His love, wisdom, and strength, even in this place of loneliness.

Father, we ask You to grant this dear brother the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, that the eyes of his heart may be enlightened to know the hope of Your calling and the riches of Your glory (Ephesians 1:17-19). Fill him with the fullness of God, that he may be strengthened with power through Your Spirit in his inner man, so that Christ may dwell in his heart through faith (Ephesians 3:16-19). Let him abide in You, Lord Jesus, so that whatever he asks in Your name, You will do, that the Father may be glorified (John 15:7). Speak to him clearly, as a shepherd to His sheep, so he may hear Your voice and follow You (John 10:27).

We also lift up his burden for evangelism and the proclamation of the gospel. You have called us to be Your witnesses—to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). The harvest is indeed plentiful, and the laborers are few (Luke 10:2), but You are the Lord of the harvest. We pray that You would raise up workers who are bold in proclaiming the good news, not just in discipleship but in public witness, as Your Word commands (Mark 16:15, Romans 10:14-15). Give this brother courage to step out in faith, even if he must go alone, trusting that You are with him. Let his life be a living testimony of Your grace, and may his words be seasoned with salt, always ready to give an answer for the hope that is in him (Colossians 4:6, 1 Peter 3:15).

Regarding his marriage, we stand on the truth that marriage is a covenant before You, designed to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). We pray for the restoration of his marriage, not by might nor by power, but by Your Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). Father, soften hearts, break chains of deception, and bring repentance where it is needed. We declare that Your Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11) and that the seeds of truth and love he has sown will bear fruit in Your perfect timing. Help him to forgive fully, as You have forgiven him (Ephesians 4:32), and to entrust his spouse and son into Your hands, knowing that You are their ultimate Shepherd (Psalm 23).

We rebuke the enemy’s schemes to divide this family and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Strengthen this brother to lead with humility, patience, and godly example, that his life may be a fragrant offering to You (Ephesians 5:2). We pray for protection over his mind, heart, and home, that no temptation would overtake him, but that You would provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Deliver them all from evil, Lord, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

We also address the matter of discipline in the body of Christ. You discipline those You love (Revelation 3:19), and Your correction is meant to lead to repentance and restoration (Hebrews 12:6). We pray that Your discipline would be received in the spirit it is given—out of love—and that it would produce the fruit of righteousness (Hebrews 12:11). May this family experience Your mercy and grace in this season, and may Your church stand united in truth and love, resisting the devil so he will flee (James 4:7).

Lord Jesus, we thank You for Your intercession on our behalf (Hebrews 7:25) and for the promise that the gates of hell will not prevail against Your Church (Matthew 16:18). We ask that You come quickly (Revelation 22:17) and that Your kingdom would come on earth as it is in heaven. Until that day, empower this brother to stand firm, to love deeply, and to proclaim Your truth boldly. Let him know the breadth, length, height, and depth of Your love, and may he be filled with all Your fullness (Ephesians 3:18-19).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, the One who was, and is, and is to come. Amen.

Seek His Face and Presence not just His hand. In his Presence is everything you need. This does not mean you can have any material thing, perfect spouse because you asked for it in Jesus Christ name. You will have your needs, some of your wants, and difficult trials. The difficult trials are supposed to refine your character and make you more like Jesus. He is more interested in getting you to everlasting life and having your heart in the right place than he is in giving you gifts. It’s eternal life he’s concerned with.
