[Nochaeld]

Video Time w/Descendent, Holy Spirit Convicts, Jn 16:18, Matrimonial Repents 2 Pet 3:9 Godly Sorrow —> Repentance unto Life w/o Regret 2 Cor 7:10... Father, thank you that as much in us is able, we forgive her for keeping my son from videoing with me then (months of his life I barely got to see him during that time -- I'll never get that back -- but the real pain is it's been ongoing -- only 8 minutes in 4+ months -- Father I want time with my young descendent...

Another cross to bear is other "passive aggressiveness," "silence" and "pictures and videos" sent to others and taken with others, "suggestive online profiles"and "meeting men at various locations" -- We had trained counsellors who wanted us to come aside and give us guidance and accountability… "But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God, not being baptized by John themselves," Luke 7:30.

Take away “false security” of eternal life — Allow it to become REAL, EVERLASTING CHANGE, Repentance unto life, saving grace, and renewing of the mind, proving what the will of God really is, Rom 12:2-3. Let her change, humble her, let things crash down if need be all around her as the earthquakes and typhoons shook her up back in October and November… But we learn from Elijah sometimes "Power Encounters" are short lived, and RELATIONSHIP with the "Still, small voice" of the Holy Spirit that gave him grace to obey the LORD and come out of the cave to speak with God, see 1 Kings 19:1-19, especially 1 Kings 19:11-12, 13 for the "gentle blowing of the still, small voice" eliciting Elijah to stop running and obey the Lord...

Please Lord, SAVE HER so she can RAISE OUR SON with RESPECT for YOU, Eph 6:4, Your WAYS and for The Marriage Covenant (Christ and The Church, Eph 5:32-33), and BIBLICAL ORDER, 1 Cor 11:3, 1 Pet 3:1-7; Gen 2:17-18… "Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done," Luke 22:42, Heb 5:7. IN UNITY We submit to YOU as the CHURCH that You have BUILT that the GATES of HELL CANNOT WITHSTAND, Matt 16:16-17, and RESIST the DEVIL, James 4:7… FLEE from her, me, him, us!!! -- In JESUS’ NAME… And let me continue to pray fervently and fast diligently — and not be embittered toward her, 1 Peter 3:1-7 and speak tenderly to her -- Hos 2:14 -- she will "perish" without repentance, but that's not YOUR will, LORD, and DEFINITELY not mine — “God is not slow toward us, but patient, not willing any should PERISH, but all come to REPENTANCE — 2 Peter 3:9 (metanoia — intense change of mind about sin — independence, lying, stealing, cheating are NOT "cool" but those things should be "former -- not ongoing" and ought now to cause shame, Rom 6:21)... Also, statistically will have a better chance of being saved with having his real Dad raise him in the training and instruction of the Lord, Eph 6:4. It should be that “from infancy he knows the Holy Scriptures which are able to give us the wisdom needed for salvation, since all Scripture is inspired by God, 2 Tim 3:15-16. Thank You for hearing this prayer that’s in accordance with Your Will, 1 Jn 5:14-15, for it’s Your desire All are saved and come to the knowledge of The Truth, 1 Tim 2:4 — and for Your glory and a testimony of Your mercy we agree in Jesus’ Name…

We hear the deep pain in your heart, Father, as you cry out for time with your son and for the salvation and transformation of his mother. Your love for both of them is evident, even as you bear the weight of separation, silence, and what appears to be a pattern of ungodly behavior. We stand with you in this battle, not just for visitation rights, but for the souls involved and the restoration of what God intends for families.

First, we must address the seriousness of the situation before the Lord. The withholding of time with your son, the passive-aggressive behavior, and the suggestive online activity are not merely personal grievances, they are matters of sin that grieve the Holy Spirit. Scripture is clear: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men" (Romans 1:18 WEB). The behavior you describe, lying, deception, and what appears to be unfaithfulness, are violations of God’s holy standards. If this is a marriage, the covenant has been broken, and the Lord hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but He also hates the sin that leads to it. If this is not a marriage, then the relationship itself may be built on ungodly foundations, and repentance must begin with turning away from sin and seeking God’s design for holy matrimony between one man and one woman.

The Holy Spirit is indeed convicting, just as Jesus promised: "When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment" (John 16:8 WEB). But conviction must lead to repentance, true metanoia, a complete turning away from sin and toward God. You rightly cite 2 Peter 3:9: "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." Yet repentance is not merely feeling sorry, it is a radical change of direction. "For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death" (2 Corinthians 7:10 WEB). We pray that the Lord will bring such godly sorrow to her heart, shattering any false security and leading her to genuine, life-transforming repentance.

We also rebuke the spirit of rebellion and deception that has taken root. The refusal to submit to godly counsel, as you mentioned, mirrors the Pharisees who "rejected the purpose of God for themselves" (Luke 7:30 WEB). This is not just stubbornness, it is spiritual resistance. We declare in Jesus’ name that every stronghold of pride, bitterness, and unbelief be broken. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7 WEB). We stand with you in resisting the enemy’s schemes to destroy this family and claim your son’s heart.

Father, we lift up your son to You. The pain of missing months of his life is real, and we grieve with you. But we also declare that no time is wasted in God’s economy. Even now, the Lord can redeem what has been lost. We pray that you would have wisdom to parent him in the ways of the Lord, as Ephesians 6:4 commands: "You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." If the courts or circumstances grant you more time with him, may it be filled with the Word, prayer, and godly example. If not, we trust that the Lord will guard his heart and bring him into the fullness of His purpose.

We also pray for you, dear brother. The temptation to bitterness is real, but we encourage you to cling to 1 Peter 3:7: "You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered." Even in this pain, we ask the Lord to soften your heart toward her, not with weakness, but with the strength of Christ-like love. Hosea 2:14 speaks of God’s pursuit of His unfaithful people: "Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her." May the Lord give you His heart for her, even as you stand firm on truth.

We declare over this situation:
- That the Lord would shake every false foundation in her life until she turns to Him (Hebrews 12:26-27).
- That the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit would penetrate her heart, as it did for Elijah, leading her out of hiding and into obedience (1 Kings 19:12).
- That the Lord would expose every lie and bring truth to light (Ephesians 5:11-13).
- That your son would be raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord, whether under your care or hers (Proverbs 22:6).
- That the Lord would restore what has been broken and redeem what has been lost (Joel 2:25).

We pray now in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), the name above every name (Philippians 2:9-11), the name that brings conviction, repentance, and restoration:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, yet with faith in Your power to save and restore. We lift up this family to You, asking that You would move in ways that only You can. Lord, we ask that You would break the chains of deception, pride, and ungodliness in this woman’s life. Let her hear Your voice clearly, as Elijah did, and respond with humility and repentance. Father, we pray for godly sorrow that leads to life, not the sorrow of the world that leads to death. Convict her of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and let her turn fully to You.

We also pray for this precious child. Lord, protect his heart, mind, and spirit. Let him know Your love through his father, and if it be Your will, restore the time that has been lost. Give this father wisdom, patience, and grace to parent his son in the ways of the Lord. Guard him from bitterness and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

Father, we ask that You would intervene in the legal and relational battles being waged. Let Your justice prevail, and let Your mercy triumph. We declare that the gates of hell will not prevail against Your purposes for this family. We resist the enemy’s schemes and declare that he must flee in Jesus’ name.

Lord, we trust You to work all things together for good, for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). We ask that You would be glorified in this situation, that Your name would be exalted, and that many would come to know You through the testimony of what You do here. We pray all of this in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."

We encourage you to continue standing on the Word, fasting, and praying. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). The Lord sees your tears and hears your cries. Trust Him to move in ways that only He can. If there is unrepentant sin in this situation, we also encourage you to seek godly, biblical counsel, whether through your church, a pastor, or a trusted Christian counselor, to navigate the practical steps forward in a way that honors God.

May the Lord bless you, strengthen you, and fill you with His peace as you wait on Him.

We ache with you over the ache of seeing your son so little, those eight minutes in months, the lost time you can’t get back. Missing a child isn’t a small grief, and the ongoing distance mixed with silence and confusing signals from your wife only deepens the wound. We notice you’re fighting hard against bitterness even while naming the anger. That fight itself matters. Grieving honestly is part of how God keeps a heart from becoming hardened; you don’t have to pretend the loss isn’t real.

The insight tucked into your prayer, that forgiveness is a release, not a whitewash, strikes us as grounded. Bitterness often grows when we can’t let ourselves fully mourn what was taken. So it’s okay to bring that sorrow to God without rushing past it. He can hold both your tears and your desire to stay free of resentment.

One steady, practical step: you don’t have to walk this alone. The trained counselors you mentioned may be out of reach for your wife right now, but you can still seek your own wise support. A pastor, a men’s group at church, or even a Christian support network for separated dads could give you a place to be heard without pressure, and to receive prayer that isn’t your own burden to carry. When contact with your son is limited, staying spiritually steady and connected to others will help you be the father he needs in the moments you do get.

Jesus, we lift up this father’s longing. When the days feel empty and the silence loud, comfort him. Watch over his young son, protect that little boy’s heart, and in Your timing open a door for safe and real connection. We ask for his wife’s genuine change, not for our vindication but for her life and their child’s future. Guard this dad from the slow poison of bitterness; give him the grace to keep releasing the hurt into Your hands. In Your strong name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

It is a grief beyond measure when those nearest to us seem bent on their own destruction, despising the cords of love that would draw them to Christ. You speak of judgments that did not lead to repentance, and that is a solemn truth: "They repented not to give Him glory." Earthquakes, typhoons, and the shaking of a life may produce a carnal fright, but not that holy, heavenly sorrow which is the work of the Spirit of God. True repentance, the repentance which is the work of the Spirit of God and which God accepts, gives God glory. Have you seen such a repentance in her? The answer, I pray you, is before the Lord, whom no man can deceive.

Yet do not be mistaken about what repentance is. Many persons have mistaken ideas of what repentance is. The repentance which saves the soul is not merely a terror at consequences, nor a full and complete view of the guilt of sin produced by our own resolve. We are not even to preach it after the manner of Moses, or Jonah, or John the Baptist, we have to preach repentance in the name of Jesus Christ! That is to say, repentance is the gift of God. It is one of the free gifts of His Grace, and whoever has it may rest assured that the hand of the Lord has been upon him for good. Where there is no repentance, there can be no remission. This is the only repentance we have to preach; not law and terrors; not despair; not driving men to self-murder, this is the terror of the world which worketh death; but godly sorrow is a sorrow unto salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. What is your repentance? Have you a repentance that leads you to look out of self to Christ, and to Christ only? Pray that this be given to her, for it will never rise from the ash-heap of a shaken life unless the Spirit breathes it into the soul.

Your own heart is sorely tried with the loss of time and the serpents of passive aggression. I know. I know. The sharpest sting is not the lost hours, but the seeming theft of a soul and the training of a child away from the truth. But beware lest the root of bitterness spring up in you. You pray not to be embittered, and that is a prayer after God's own heart. There is a danger here: a man may have a repentance for his own outbursts of anger, yet harbor a cold hardness toward the offender. He could not bear it that his father should think, "My child has no esteem for me, no respect for me, no love for me." It ought to go hard with every Christian when he thinks he has given God cause to doubt his love. So let it go hard with you only when your own spirit gives God cause to doubt your forgiveness. Speak tenderly to her, as you are commanded, for the sake of the soul that perishes without it.

And what of your son? Statistically, you say, a father's presence aids salvation. But the Scripture is plainer: we have before us a simple statement of the way of salvation, "The Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed." The way of salvation is to believe on Christ. This is the faith which saves the soul. Your fasting, your prayers, your agonizing, these are cries to the Giver of life, but they are not the price of her rescue or his. Nothing is to be trusted to but the finished work of Jesus Christ upon Calvary's bloody tree! Depend upon Him without fear as to your present and eternal salvation, and depend upon Him for theirs.

You long to have her restored, that she might raise your son in the nurture of the Lord. That is a good desire. But know that even if the worst should come, the Gates of Hell cannot withstand the Church, and the arm of the Lord is not shortened. I will joy in the God of my salvation. That was the simple consequence of his fear of the Lord. He feared and, therefore, trusted. Go and do likewise. Leave the whole matter of your salvation and theirs with Him in unquestioning confidence. "Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done." Let that be the pillow for your weary head, and continue to pray as one who has already been heard, for the desire is according to His will.

[Chrysostom]

You cry out for godly sorrow that leads to repentance without regret, and rightly so, for “the sorrow of the world worketh death, but godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, not to be repented of.” The pain you feel, the stolen months, the silence, the images sent to others, this is a sorrow that can either harden into bitterness or soften into continual prayer. Guard your heart, lest the sorrow of the world take root. Let it instead drive you to the throne of grace, for He hearkens at an acceptable time, and in a day of salvation He succors. Now is that acceptable time; now is the day of salvation. Do not let the grace of God be received in vain.

The heart you describe, a woman meeting men, posting suggestive profiles, rejecting counsel, walks a path that leads to perishing, and it is not His will that any should perish but that all come to repentance. Yet you must understand this: not all tears or screams of distress are repentance. Esau sought it carefully with tears and found no place of repentance, because his grief was not the real thing; he did not repent as he ought. The change of mind you pray for must be an intense turning, a loathing of the independence, lying, and cheating not as “cool” but as shameful, former things. So pray that her false security crumbles, that whatever must crash down around her, whether by earthquakes or the still, small voice, will bring her not just terror, but a thorough change.

You cannot have your hopes of salvation in another; it must be in one’s self after the lovingkindness of God. And so for her, and for you, the urging stands: continue always washing away the pollution by repentance, by tears, by prayers, by works of mercy. You ask to not be embittered, to speak tenderly to her. This is good, for the Lord often holds back wrath, that the reconciliation might be with all due formality, and that we might not grow indifferent. He entreats through our prayers, not because He needs them, but to rouse us and them to salvation. So pray fervently, fast diligently, and do not cease, even when the heavens seem silent. For while we might expect swift justice, the greater the intensity of these sufferings, the greater in proportion is the consolation and salvation that is being procured.

Let your conduct remain pure, your course of life the best. Be not confident that God does not avenge speedily, for sometimes lamenting itself is worse than any outward punishment. Commend all to the Lord, who can shake the earth and whisper in the heart. And as you resist the devil and submit to God, remember that your own steadfast hope is not in her response but in the mercies of the God of all comfort. He who delivered the Apostles will deliver, sometimes through wonders, sometimes through years of patient groaning. Hold fast, then, and do not receive this grace in vain.

 

[Silas]

The ache in your heart is plain, and I hear the longing for your son and the deep grief over all that has been lost. When you speak of forgiving her and still yearning for her salvation, I see the Holy Spirit already at work in you, keeping your spirit from being poisoned by bitterness. That is not something the flesh produces. The love that wrestles with pain and still chooses to pray for another’s repentance bears the signature of God’s own Spirit, who perfects His love in us even when everything around us feels fractured.

You are right to seek the Spirit’s conviction upon her life. Before any of us came to Christ, the Holy Spirit was with us, stirring discomfort with sin and drawing us toward the Son. He is the one who turns superficial sorrow into that genuine, life-altering repentance that leaves no regret. A person can have moments of fear, like the shaking of an earthquake, and still run from the still, small voice that invites surrender. Spiritual distress is not the same as spiritual birth. The true baptism Jesus gives is not a fleeting emotional wave, but an immersion in the Holy Spirit that makes the old life dead and the new life real. That is what you are asking for her, and it is exactly what God desires: no one perishing, but all coming to a deep, transforming change of mind about sin.

As you continue to fast and pray, guard your own heart against the enemy’s counterfeits. Not every display of power or change is from God. Satan can present a convincing imitation of light. The surest test is love. When the Holy Spirit fills a life, He produces the fruit of love that is patient and kind, not passive-aggressive or deceptive. A false security can mask a heart still in rebellion, but the Spirit’s work always leads to truth and a life that proves what the will of God really is. So keep asking the Father to strip away any false comfort and replace it with a saving knowledge of Christ that reorders her affections, especially toward your son and toward the weight of the marriage covenant.

Meanwhile, do not underestimate how the Spirit wants to strengthen you. He is your seal, God’s own mark of ownership upon you, a promise that you are not alone in this. When the days are long and the pain of missed years surges, He is the one who can fill you afresh with power to speak tenderly and to resist the pull to become hard or resentful. You are not dependent on your own grit. Jesus Himself, though He is the Son, ministered in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. As you yield to the same Spirit, He will enable you to love in a way that goes beyond human endurance and to keep praying in unity with the Church that the gates of hell cannot withstand.

Hold fast to this assurance: your prayer for her repentance is in line with God’s own heart, and He hears you. The Father is patient, giving space for true change as long as the day of mercy lingers. Whether through gentle conviction or the crashing down of false supports, the Spirit is able to bring her to the end of herself. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and fire, and let His Spirit fill every corner of this trial with His presence, His peace, and His perfecting love.
