🕊️Kindness of God Leads to Repentance ⏎ from Sin Rom 2:4, 🥜 Planting + 💦=God's Growth 🌱1 Cor 3:6-7, His Glory Ps 115:1, Salvation Is God's Rev 7:2, Salvation Belongs to The Lord Ps 3:8; Jonah 2:9, Salvation Belongs to Our God, Who Sits Upon The Throne, and Unto The Lamb, Rev 7:2, Holy Spirit's Work Jn 16:8, Humbling Restoring Dan 4:28-37 2 Co 7:9-10... 🙌 Father, we thank You that Your Word does not return void, but like the rain and snow come down from heaven to water the earth and make it vivacious, so is the Word effective in fulfilling the purposes You have ordained for it to accomplish, Isa 55:10-11. Thank You the seed is the Word of God, and that seeds have been planted, Mark 4:14, Mark 4:26, Mark 4:27, Mark 4:28, Mark 4:29. From You and through You and back to You be all glory, Rom 11:36. Please continue working on this "still current wife's heart" by bringing fresh truth, restraining evil and carrying any work You've begun on to completion until the day of Christ, Phil 1:6. CONTINUE to bring others into her path to water seeds, speak truth and show the kindness of God, Rom 2:4, and across the paths of all who have heard the word from all time, especially the last several months, especially for our patriarchal and matriarchal figures, progeny and posterity. Since the steps of the righteous are ordered by You, Ps 37:23, as evidenced by the evangelist and the foreign official reading Isaiah 53 in Acts 8:26-31, the believer in Acts 9:10-11 who was told to go find the future Apostle to the Gentiles, and the Apostles directed to go help a certain man, Acts 16:6-10. You, being perfect AND patient, not willing any perish but rather that all come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9, and desire all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, even using prayer to that ends, 1 Tim 2:1-4.

🙌 Thanksgiving for our prayers that You are actively using, as "The Word of God is Living and Active and Sharper than any Two-edged Sword, Piercing as far as division of Soul and Spirit, and Judging the Thoughts and Intents of The Heart," Heb 4:12. "My Father is Always Working Even Until Now, And I Myself am Working," Jesus, John 5:17...

🙌 Thank You we and they ARE currently hearing Your Word by The Holy Spirit, John 16:8, we believe before honor comes humility, Prov 18:12, You are humbling those who need to be humbled, Dan 4:37 that they come to their senses, Dan 4:34, 2 Tim 2:26, as the prodigal in Luke 15:17, and Hosea's wife in Hos 2:6-7, and we are experiencing Your Protection as YOU Keep us, them, progeny, folks, ministry partners, fellow servants of Christ and stewards of The Mysteries of The Word of God, 1 Cor 4:1-2, and us ALL from evil, deception, lies, temptation, sin, evil people and the evil one by receiving the love of the truth that we may be saved, 2 Thes 2:9-10. Thank You in advance, Mk 11:24, thank You for being a rewarder of diligent seeking, Heb 11:6, and that fervent prayers of those made righteous by faith avail much and prevail, James 5:16. Thank You for all this and more, great and mighty things, Jer 33:3, beyond all we can ask of imagine, Eph 3:20, in Jesus’ Name, John 14:13-14, The Amen, Faithful Witness, Origin of God's Creation, Rev 3:14, in Messiah are all the Promises Inherited, Yes and Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.
 
We join with you in thanking our Father for His kindness that leads to repentance and for the truth that salvation belongs fully to Him.

We agree with you that it is God who gives the growth. As it is written, I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase, so then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase, 1 Cor 3:6-7. And we give all glory to Him alone, Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake, Ps 115:1. Truly salvation belongs to Yahweh, Ps 3:8 and Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, Rev 7:10.

We praise God with you that His Word does not return void. For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring out and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so will my word be that goes out of my mouth. It will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do, Isa 55:10-11. The seed is the Word of God and that seed has been planted, and we trust Him for the harvest in His timing, Mark 4:14, Mark 4:26-29. For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever, Rom 11:36.

We lift up before the Lord this still current wife and her heart, along with the patriarchal and matriarchal figures, progeny and posterity, and all who have heard the Word in these last months. We pray that the Lord will continue the good work He has begun and will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ, Phil 1:6. We ask Him to restrain evil, to bring fresh truth, to send laborers across her path and their paths to water what has been planted, to speak truth in love and to display the kindness of God which leads to repentance, Rom 2:4. We trust that the steps of a good man are ordered by Yahweh, Ps 37:23, just as He ordered the steps of Philip to the Ethiopian reading Isaiah in Acts 8:26-31, and ordered Ananias to Saul in Acts 9:10-11, and directed Paul and his companions through a vision to Macedonia in Acts 16:6-10. We know our God is patient, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Tim 2:4, and who calls us to offer petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings for all people, 1 Tim 2:1.

We thank Him that His Word is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart, Heb 4:12, and that the Father is always working and the Son is working, John 5:17. We ask for the convicting work of the Holy Spirit, who will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment, John 16:8, to be at work in each heart now.

We pray for the humbling that must come before honor, for before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility, Prov 18:12. As with Nebuchadnezzar who was humbled until he lifted his eyes to heaven and his understanding returned to him, Dan 4:34, Dan 4:37, and as the prodigal came to himself, Luke 15:17, and as Hosea’s wife was hedged in that she might return, Hos 2:6-7, we ask that any who are wandering may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will, 2 Tim 2:26. We pray for godly sorrow that works repentance to salvation, 2 Cor 7:10.

We uphold the sanctity of marriage before the Lord, for marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, ordained by God and to be held in honor by all. Where there is distance or hardness of heart between a husband and his still current wife, we pray for reconciliation, for forgiveness, for cleansing from all sin, and for restoration that honors Christ. If there has been any fornication or adultery or hardness, we pray for full repentance and for purity going forward, that this courtship and marriage would be renewed to reflect Christ and the church.

We ask for protection for you, for her, for your families, for fellow servants and stewards of the mysteries of God, 1 Cor 4:1-2, that you all may be kept from evil, from deception and lies, from temptation and sin, and from the evil one, and that you may receive the love of the truth that you may be saved, 2 Thes 2:10.

Father, we thank You in advance, believing that whatever we ask in prayer, believing, we will receive, Mark 11:24, for You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You, Heb 11:6, and the insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective, James 5:16. We ask You to show us great and mighty things which we do not know, Jer 33:3, and to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, Eph 3:20. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, for whatever we ask in His name He will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son, John 14:13-14, for in Him all the promises of God are Yes and in Him Amen to the glory of God through us, 2 Cor 1:20. We trust You to carry this work to completion and to keep all glory for Yourself, in Jesus’ name.
 
We hear how much love and faithfulness is behind these prayers. You have been planting for a long time and you are choosing to thank God even while you wait, trusting Him to do what only He can do in your wife's heart and in your family.

That waiting season is heavy. It is good that you are asking Him to keep working, to bring the right people across her path, and to guard all of you from discouragement and deception. We join you in that. We also see your trust that growth belongs to Him, not to our effort or timing. That frees us to be faithful in the small things today and leave the results in His hands.

It can help to not carry this alone. If you have two or three trusted brothers or a pastor who know your story and can pray with you regularly, keep leaning on them. And continue to live quietly before the Lord where you are, showing the same kindness you are praying she will encounter elsewhere.

Father, we thank You for Your kindness and patience toward us all. We ask You to keep working in this wife's heart and in this family, to bring truth and kindness through those You place near them, and to guard and guide each one. Give our brother peace as he waits, strength to walk faithfully today, and trust in Your good will. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
Your prayer breathes the very spirit of dependence upon sovereign grace, and we join you in it with thankfulness. You have planted and others have watered, but God alone gives the increase, and His Word shall not return void but shall accomplish that which He pleases, even as the rain and snow water the earth. To Him be all glory, for from Him and through Him and to Him are all things, and salvation belongs unto the Lord.

We take comfort with you that the Father is always working, and that His Word is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing to divide soul and spirit and judging the thoughts and intents of the heart. The steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord, as when He directed Philip to the Ethiopian reading Isaiah, and Ananias to Saul, and Paul to Macedonia. So we may pray with confidence that He can order paths, bring truth across the way of your still current wife, of children and parents and all who have heard the Word in these months, and restrain evil until His purpose is fulfilled.

Yet let us think of an infinitely better repentance than that which is common among men. There is a repentance which is not repentance unto life, a carnal repentance that is of the flesh, after the manner of the sinful nature, produced by judgment or fear, which never gives God glory. The true repentance which God accepts is the work of His Spirit, it gives Him glory, it yields works meet for repentance, it is practical and it lasts. Does it last or does it not, that is a searching test. Many tremble and show a complacency toward the Word and yet have no sincere repentance. Take heed that we do not put our repenting into the place of Christ, for faith and repentance are inseparable. The repentance which ejects sin as an evil tenant and the faith which admits Christ to be sole master of the heart go together. The one pulls down and the other builds up.

Remember also that repentance lives as long as faith. It is not an operation to be gotten through at the commencement and then forgotten. Sweet sister repentance is charming company and should walk with us all the way to the gates of pearl. It is a bitter thing at first, but it makes a rainbow with her tears of grief for sin and her glances of hope at the love of Christ and His great finished work. And this repentance is to be preached in the name of Jesus, not as the thunder of Moses nor merely as preparation after the manner of John, but as the gift of God. Where there is no repentance there can be no remission, but where there is that godly sorrow which needs not to be repented of, there is full and free forgiveness through His blood.

You have prayed rightly that the goodness of God may lead to repentance. Notice that the Lord does not drive men to repentance as a slaveholder with a whip, though He can humble the proud as He humbled Nebuchadnezzar until he came to his senses and blessed the Most High. The sweetest and best repentance comes not by driving but by drawing. His goodness, coming in so many forms and ways, His patience not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, is meant to lead sinners to Him. The eyes of mercy are quicker than the eyes of repentance. The father saw the prodigal a great way off and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him much. Those repeated kisses meant much love, much forgiveness, full restoration, and exceeding joy. The son would have been content to be a hired servant, but the father restored him as a son, as if he had never gone away. If such a wretch as Manasseh, who did evil in the sight of the Lord and filled Jerusalem with cruelty, was brought to remarkable conversion when the iron entered into his soul in his prison, surely no one need despair.

Therefore we pray with you, and for you, that God would continue that humbling and restoring work. We ask Him to keep you and your wife, your progeny and posterity, your household and all fellow servants and stewards of the mysteries of God, from evil and deception and temptation and the evil one, by giving the love of the truth that you may be saved. We ask Him to grant to each of you, and to her especially, that repentance unto life which looks out of self to Christ and to Christ only, which weeps and abhors past sin because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, and which avoids present sin because of the love of God who died for us. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, and marriage is His holy ordinance, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, wherein alone are to be found the intimacies of living together and the one flesh union. Whatever has wounded that covenant must be repented of and forsaken, and whatever restores it in holiness must be pursued, that God may be glorified.

We do not ask God to bless any path that departs from His Word, but we do ask Him to bless with conviction, with godly sorrow, with faith, and with restoration all who turn to Him. May He who has begun a good work carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. May He reward your diligent seeking and cause your fervent prayers, offered in the name of Jesus the Amen and Faithful Witness, to avail much. And may all the promises which are Yes and Amen in Christ be inherited for His glory alone, not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

We join you in thanking God for His Word which does not return empty but accomplishes what He purposes, like rain and snow that water the earth and make it bring forth life. We thank Him that the seed is His Word and that seeds have been planted, and we join you in asking Him to give the growth, for as the Scripture says, one plants and another waters but God gives the increase, and to Him alone belongs the glory and salvation.

We pray with you for your wife, to whom you remain bound in marriage. Marriage is a bond ordained by God, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, honorable and to be kept pure, with all that belongs to it kept within that covenant. We ask God to keep and guard this bond in holiness and to restrain all that would corrupt or dissolve it. We ask Him to continue His work in her heart, to bring fresh truth across her path, to order steps as He did for the evangelist and the official in Acts and for those sent to find Saul, and to bring others who will water what has been sown and speak truth with the kindness that leads to repentance.

We thank God that He is patient, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance and to the knowledge of the truth, and that salvation belongs to the Lord through Jesus Christ alone, who is the Mediator between the Father and us. It is Christ who reconciles us when we were estranged, and there is no other name by which we are saved. We ask that the Holy Spirit will do His work of convicting of sin and bringing to humility, for before honor comes humility. As with Nebuchadnezzar who was humbled until he came to his senses, as with the prodigal who came to himself, we pray for a true turning of heart, not a sorrow of words and tears alone like Esau who sought the blessing without true repentance, but a godly sorrow that brings real change.

We thank God that His Word is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, judging the thoughts and intents of the heart, and that the Father is always working. We ask Him to carry on to completion every good work He has begun until the day of Christ, to protect you both and your families and all who have heard the Word from evil, deception and temptation, and to cause all to receive the love of the truth that they may be saved. We pray this also for your parents and children and for generations to come, and for all who have heard in recent months.

We encourage you to continue in fervent prayer, for the prayer of the righteous made so by faith avails much, and God rewards those who diligently seek Him. We trust Him to do great things beyond what we ask or imagine, and we ask all this in the name of Jesus, the faithful witness, through whom all the promises are yes and amen, and to whom with the Father be all glory forever.
 
Your prayer reflects a deep trust in the character of God and the power of His Word, and that is a good place to stand. Like rain and snow that come down from heaven to water the earth and cause it to bring forth life, so the Word that goes out from His mouth will not return empty but will accomplish the purpose for which He sent it, as Isaiah 55 teaches. The seed is the Word of God, and your part and the part of others is to plant and to water, but only God can give the growth. That truth keeps all the glory where it belongs, not to us but to His name, for salvation belongs to the Lord and from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.

At the heart of what you are asking is repentance, and Scripture puts that call at the very center. John baptized in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, calling people to confess their sins and turn. Jesus came preaching the same message, that sinners should repent, for those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick. He did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance, and when He later spoke to the churches in Revelation He still called them to repent and to become what He desires His people to be. True turning to Christ is never just words. It shows itself in change and in a restored walk, a turning away from sin against God and toward Him.

It is the kindness of God that leads to that turning, according to Romans 2, and the work of the Holy Spirit to convict the heart of sin and righteousness and judgment, as Jesus said in John 16. You are right to ask that God would continue to bring truth across the path of your wife and your family, children and generations to come, and all who have heard the Word in these months. The Lord orders the steps of those who seek Him, as He directed the evangelist to the official reading Isaiah on the road, and directed the believer to go find Saul, and directed the apostles to go to those who needed to hear. He is perfect and patient, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, and He desires all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Scripture also shows that before honor comes humility. God in His mercy humbles those who need to be humbled so that they may come to their senses, as Nebuchadnezzar did when his reason returned to him and he blessed the Most High, as the prodigal did when he came to himself in the far country, as Hosea's wife did when the way was hedged to draw her back. That humbling is not to crush but to lead to godly sorrow that brings repentance without regret. It is right to pray for that gracious humbling and restoring work, and to trust Him to complete any good work He has begun until the day of Christ.

Continue to pray with confidence because the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword, judging the thoughts and intentions of the heart, and the Father is always at work. Fervent prayer from those made righteous by faith in Christ avails much, and God rewards those who diligently seek Him. Ask Him to keep you and your household, and all who serve Christ as stewards of the mysteries of God, from evil and deception and temptation and the evil one, and that each would receive a love for the truth so as to be saved. He is able to do far beyond all that we ask or imagine, and every promise finds its Yes and Amen in Christ.

May the Lord continue to plant and water through faithful witnesses, restrain evil, speak His truth in kindness, and bring forth His growth in His time and for His glory. We join you in asking that He would work in your wife's heart and in the hearts of your loved ones to bring conviction, repentance, faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, and a walk that honors Him within the lifelong covenant of marriage as He designed it, trusting that salvation and restoration belong wholly to Him. We ask this in the name of Jesus, who is faithful and true.
