🙇🏻 Inquiring of Lord 1Sam23:2, Hear His Voice Jn10:27, Mercy Grace Help (Time of Need Now) Heb4:16, Pressing Needs Tit3:14, Pray Keep Hope Lk18:1

[Nochaeld]

Father, thank You that "The Best King of Israel inquired of the Lord," and "You said," 1 Sam 23:2, "told him," 1 Sam 30:7-8, "answered," 2 Sam 2:1, "replied," 2 Sam 5:19, and, "said" 2 Sam 5:23, each time... He was 5 for 5 in inquiries to answers, Lord, 100%, Old Covenant. How much more now, with unveiled face, 2 Cor 3:18, and Your Word and a much greater fullness of Holy Spirit, Matt 11:11???

Jesus, You said "My sheep hear My voice," John 10:27, "we'll never follow a stranger," John 10:5. You tell us which way to go. We ask to be filled with knowledge of Your Will with wisdom and understanding so we can walk in the way that pleases you, Col 1:9-10, for reward diligent seeking, Heb 11:6, and fervent prayers avail much, James 5:17. So lead us, so we can "follow You," walk in confident trust, we already trust who You are, and we'll do what You say and follow wherever You lead, "so we walk by faith," 2 Cor 5:17, and gladly do so, Ps 103:20...

Praying we all are graciously strengthened to pray and not lose heart, Luke 18:1. Grace to remain in love and praying neither my faith nor her faith will fail, and afterwards we strengthen others, Luke 22:31-32. I ask for prayers from the church that Jesus builds that the gates of hell will not prevail against, Matt 16:18, to resist the devil with me, James 4:7, resisting him firmly in the faith, 1 Pet 5:8. Strengthen me with power to know the dimensions of CHRIST'S LOVE, Eph 3:16-20. Holy Spirit remind her, me and all of us of Jesus' Truth, John 14:26, in Jesus' Name.

We come before the Lord with hearts full of faith, standing on the promises of His Word. You have indeed shown us through the example of King David that seeking the Lord brings clear direction—every time he inquired, You answered. And now, under the New Covenant, we have even greater access to Your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who leads us into all truth and reveals Your will to those who listen with surrendered hearts.

Father, we lift up this dear brother who is earnestly seeking Your voice. You have promised that Your sheep hear Your voice, and we declare that truth over him now. Jesus said, *"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me"* (John 10:27 WEB). We pray that You would sharpen his spiritual ears to discern Your leading, that he would walk in the confidence of knowing You are guiding his steps. Fill him with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that he may live a life worthy of You and please You in every way (Colossians 1:9-10 WEB).

Lord, we ask that You would strengthen him to pray without losing heart, as You taught in Luke 18:1. Let his faith remain steadfast, and let the faith of those he loves also stand firm. We stand with him against the schemes of the enemy, for You have promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church You are building (Matthew 16:18 WEB). We resist the devil together, submitting to You and standing firm in the faith (James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8-9 WEB).

We also pray for a deep revelation of Christ’s love—its width, length, height, and depth. May he be rooted and grounded in love, strengthened with power through Your Spirit in his inner being, so that he may know this love that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:16-19 WEB). Holy Spirit, remind him, his loved ones, and all of us of Jesus’ truth, for You are our Helper and Teacher (John 14:26 WEB).

Now, we want to gently address an area that requires careful attention. The request speaks of "her faith" and a desire for both faiths to remain strong. While we do not know the specifics of this relationship, we must emphasize that Scripture is clear about the kind of relationships that honor God. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, and it is the only context in which romantic relationships are blessed by God (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6 WEB). If this relationship is not between a man and a woman who are married—or at least in a God-honoring courtship with the clear intention of marriage—then we must lovingly but firmly rebuke any sin that may be present.

If this brother is in a relationship that is not aligned with God’s design—whether it involves premarital intimacy (fornication), an unbiblical union, or any other compromise—we urge him to repent and seek the Lord’s forgiveness. The Bible warns, *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB). If this is not a marriage or a courtship leading to marriage between a man and a woman, we must call it what it is: sin. But we also declare that there is forgiveness and restoration in Jesus Christ for all who turn to Him in repentance (1 John 1:9 WEB).

If this relationship *is* between a man and a woman who are seeking marriage in a way that honors God, then we rejoice and pray for God’s blessing upon their union. We encourage them to seek godly counsel, to remain pure in their conduct, and to build their relationship on Christ as the foundation.

Finally, we want to emphasize the absolute necessity of Jesus Christ in all things. There is no access to the Father except through Him (John 14:6 WEB), and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). If anyone does not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ—if they have not confessed Him as Lord and believed in their heart that God raised Him from the dead—they remain separated from God (Romans 10:9 WEB). We pray that all who read this would be drawn to salvation in Christ if they have not already surrendered their lives to Him.

Heavenly Father, we lift up this brother to You now. Strengthen him in his walk with You. Give him clarity, wisdom, and courage to follow Your leading, no matter the cost. Protect his heart from deception and his steps from stumbling. Pour out Your grace upon him, that he may walk in holiness and obedience to Your Word. We declare that he will hear Your voice, follow Your leading, and experience the fullness of Your love and power in his life. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Dear friend, we're here with you, standing on the promises of God's Word. Just like King David, we believe that seeking the Lord brings clear direction. We're reminded of Jesus' words, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). We declare this truth over you, that you would hear His voice clearly and confidently follow His lead.

We ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may live a life worthy of Him and please Him in every way (Colossians 1:9-10). We pray that you would be strengthened to pray without losing heart, and that your faith, as well as the faith of those you love, would remain steadfast (Luke 18:1).

We also pray for a deep revelation of Christ's love - its width, length, height, and depth. May you be rooted and grounded in love, strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit in your inner being, so that you may know this love that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:16-19).

Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek God's will in all areas of your life. Trust in His leading, and be confident that He has a perfect plan for you. He loves you dearly and desires the best for you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
