Grace to Fast, Pray, Isa 58:6-12: Nearness to God, Jam 4:7, Revelation, Eph 1:17 Intimacy, Wisdom, Strength, Favor, 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 -- Shake everything that can be shaken, Hag 2:6, Heb 12:26-27. O Lord Jesus, come quickly, Rev 22:17, Thank You again in Jesus' Name, Amen 2 Cor 1:20.

We hear your cry for nearness to God, wisdom, and strength in this season of solitude and spiritual battle. Your hunger for His presence is evident, and we stand with you in agreement, lifting these petitions before the throne of grace. The longing in your heart for the return of your spouse and son is heavy, yet your commitment to walk in obedience—even when the path is lonely—testifies to a faith that trusts God’s Word over circumstances.

The Word declares, *"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you"* (James 4:8 WEB). In this time of fasting and prayer, may the Lord meet you in the secret place, filling you with revelation of His love and the assurance that you are never truly alone. He is the Rock in whose cleft you take refuge (Exodus 33:22), the Shepherd who leads you beside still waters (Psalm 23:2), and the Bridegroom who rejoices over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17). We pray that the eyes of your heart would be enlightened to know the hope of His calling, the riches of His inheritance, and the immeasurable greatness of His power toward you (Ephesians 1:17-19).

Your burden for evangelism is righteous and aligned with Scripture. Jesus commanded, *"Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone"* (Mark 16:15 WEB), and the early church modeled this as a lifestyle, not merely a program. It is concerning that your Bible study group does not engage in public proclamation, for the gospel is meant to be heralded, not just discussed in private. We rebuke the spirit of timidity and pray for boldness to arise in you, that you would speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and fulfill the Great Commission, even if you must do so alone. May the Lord raise up laborers to join you, but if none come, may you echo the resolve of the hymn: *"Though none go with me, still I will follow."*

Regarding your marriage, we uphold your commitment to pray and fast for your spouse’s return, trusting that God’s Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Yet we must also address the need for biblical boundaries. While we pray for reconciliation, we remind you that love does not enable sin or compromise truth. If your spouse has abandoned the marriage covenant, you are not required to remain in a state of perpetual waiting without godly counsel or accountability. The Lord disciplines those He loves (Revelation 3:19), and we pray that any shaking in your life—whether literal or spiritual—would produce repentance and restoration, not destruction.

We rebuke the enemy’s schemes to sift you like wheat (Luke 22:31) and declare that your faith will not fail. The same Jesus who intercedes for you (Hebrews 7:25) is able to keep you from stumbling and present you blameless before His glory (Jude 1:24). We pray for your son, that he would be shielded from deception and drawn to the Father’s heart. May the Lord guard your family from temptation and deliver you from evil (Matthew 6:13), even as you stand firm in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Father, we ask that You would pour out Your Spirit upon this brother, filling him with wisdom, revelation, and the fullness of Your love. Strengthen him to forgive from the heart, to walk in holiness, and to be a light in the darkness. May his life preach louder than his words, and may his prayers move mountains. We stand in agreement for the return of his spouse and son, but above all, for Your will to be done. If restoration is Your plan, let it come swiftly; if not, grant him the grace to trust You in the waiting. We declare that no weapon formed against him will prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church he serves (Matthew 16:18).

Lord, we also pray for the church at large—that she would awaken to her calling, resist the devil, and draw near to You. Raise up men and women who will proclaim the gospel boldly, disciple the nations, and contend for the faith. May Your Word go forth with power, and may the lost be saved. Come quickly, Lord Jesus, and may Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
