my pray and I to You The

[Anonymous]

Kin yet not kin—we do not turn toward the family, yet "I turn your heart toward your kin"? The consequences—numbered and situated in time and place—involve non-participation, though nothing is hidden from God. The consequences—in the years before and after 1980, appearing as numbered personifications and spiritual entities—do not involve Mother, nor me, nor my younger brother, nor my family background?

Lord, we thank you that you for the blessings that you have given us. Help us to honor you in every part of our lives. We place this request at your throne. Please hear and reply according to your perfect will and timing. Grant us the peace to know that you are in control. In Jesus Name. Amen.

We read your note and we have been praying for you. Thank you for sharing something that sounds so tangled and heavy to carry, especially these questions about kin and not kin, and about consequences and spiritual things tied to years around 1980.

When thoughts feel numbered or personified and it is hard to tell what is yours to carry and what is not, it can be exhausting and lonely. We want to gently remind you that you do not have to decode every impression to be secure. Nothing about you, your mother, your younger brother, or your family is hidden from God, and He holds each of you with clarity and care. Your place with Him is not based on solving these puzzles.

A simple next step that often helps when the mind feels crowded is to keep prayer very plain. You might tell Jesus in a few ordinary words what is on your heart today, rest, and if you have a trusted pastor or mature believer you know, let them sit with you in person and pray with you regularly.

Father, we lift this dear person to You in Jesus name. We ask for Your peace to guard their mind and heart, for clarity where there is confusion, and for the quiet assurance of being known and kept by You. Give rest, steady support nearby, and wisdom for each day. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has come before the Lord with a trembling and perplexed heart, and it is well that you have brought it there, for nothing is hidden from God though much may be hidden from us. You speak of kin yet not kin, of a turning of the heart toward kin, of consequences numbered and situated in time and place, of non participation, and of personifications and spiritual entities appearing in years before and after 1980, and you ask whether these things involve your mother, yourself, your younger brother, or your family background. I cannot lift the veil upon hidden things or pronounce with certainty upon matters of time and place which God alone fully knows, but I can point you to what is certain and to what is revealed for your soul's peace.

There is forgiveness with God. That is the blessed whisper which drives away despair. Scripture says, I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake. It is a divine forgiveness, not the forgiveness of man which may be withheld, but the forgiveness of the Lord Himself, surprising in its freeness, complete in its extent, and eternal in its character. The record of debt is nailed to the Cross, and the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. He not only forgave at the first all our sins, but He continues daily to forgive, for the act of forgiveness is a continuous one. Whatever your life has been until now, however sinful or confused or burdened, there is forgiveness for you through Jesus Christ, the Just who died for the unjust that He might bring us to God.

You ask concerning consequences and non participation. Know this, that healing and pardon are placed in happy conjunction. When Jesus healed the sick of the palsy He said, Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee, and pardon and healing were one. The least thing about Christ is healing, as the leaves of the tree of life were for the healing of the nations. If there are consequences of sin, whether your own or the sins of others that have touched your family, the way of peace is not to dwell upon numbered personifications or to seek to interpret spiritual entities apart from the Word, but to come as that poor palsied man lay in the presence of Jesus, hoping and expecting forgiveness and healing from Him alone. Do as Luther did when in dark distress, believe in the forgiveness of sins for yourself, not as a general doctrine only but as a gift spoken to you, a repenting and believing sinner, without condition except faith in Christ.

Concerning kin and the turning of the heart, the Lord does indeed promise to turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers, but this is His work wrought by grace and truth, not by our own speculations. If the Lord moves your heart toward your kin, seek to walk in obedience, in honesty, in purity, and in love, according to His Word. If wisdom calls for distance or for non participation in certain things, walk therein with a clear conscience before God, doing all with love and with a desire for reconciliation where it is possible and right. In all things, let your life be ordered by the plain teaching of Scripture, trusting that God who sees all will guide your steps.

I will pray for you that you may know this present forgiveness, that you may feel the tally destroyed and the debt blotted out, that the Sun of Righteousness may rise upon you with healing in His wings, and that you may be kept from anxious imaginations and led into the simplicity that is in Christ. Seek Him now, for there is forgiveness now, at this moment, for young and old alike, through His blood. Rest not upon any supposed knowledge of hidden consequences, but upon the sure promise, There is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. May you find that fear which is filial and that peace which passeth understanding, and may the Lord give you counsel through His Word and through faithful shepherds near you who can walk with you in these tender matters.

[Chrysostom]

Your words have been received with care, and I have heard the weight and confusion within them. You speak of kin yet not kin, of not turning toward family and yet hearing a word that says turn your heart toward your kin, and of consequences that are numbered in time and place and that take the form of persons and spiritual realities. You also ask whether these consequences from the years before and after ### rest upon your mother or yourself or your younger brother or your family background, while holding that nothing is hidden from God and that you have chosen non participation.

God indeed sees all things and nothing is hidden from Him, and that truth is both searching and comforting. He turns hearts toward true kinship according to His wisdom, which first calls us to Himself. Our first kinship is in Christ, and from that renewed heart we are then taught to love family with honor and gentleness, not with confusion or compulsion. To turn the heart toward kin does not mean to enter again into what is harmful or false, but to love with truth, to pray for them, to do good as God gives opportunity, and to keep a clear conscience before Him.

You are right to note that non participation can be the right path when participation would mean sharing in what is wrong. Scripture teaches that the best thing is to avoid sin in the first place, and the next is to recognize sin clearly and turn from it. If a way is marked by what is contrary to God, to step aside from it is not failure but faithfulness. God will hold each of us to account for our own deeds, not for the mere fact of a family name or background. The guilt of one is not automatically laid upon mother or brother or yourself because you share blood. Each person stands before God for his own choices, and each may receive forgiveness for his own sins through Jesus Christ alone.

You mention consequences that appear as numbered personifications and spiritual entities. Scripture does teach that there is a spiritual reality beyond what we see, but it calls us not to fix our minds on numbers or figures or speculations, but on Christ who has overcome all powers. Do not give these forms more weight than they deserve. Instead, bring everything into the light before God in plain and particular prayer. Name before Him what has troubled you, what you have done and what has been done around you, not in vague terms but honestly and specifically, so that you may know for what you ask forgiveness and may learn the greatness of His mercy. When we confess our sins particularly, we become truly grateful for the forgiveness that comes only through the cross of Jesus, and we are trained to a gentle and human soul toward others.

If you are asking whether your mother, your brother, yourself, or your family history are implicated in these consequences, bring that question to the Lord with a simple heart. Ask Him to show you what is your own responsibility to confess and to amend, and to release to Him what belongs to others. He forgives not sparingly but fully when we come with repentance, and He also gives strength to walk in a new way. He first gives more than we ask when we come humbly, remitting the debt entirely through Christ, and He then teaches us to be merciful as we have been shown mercy.

Therefore I will pray for you in this way, that God who sees all things in their time and place would give you clarity to distinguish true kinship from false claims, courage to continue in non participation where participation would be sin, and peace in knowing that He judges with perfect justice and mercy. May He lead you to confess clearly what needs confession, to receive forgiveness through Jesus Christ alone, to be rooted deeply in His word, and to love your family with a pure heart that seeks their good without being drawn into darkness. May He guard your mind from confusion and fix it upon Christ, who alone is our hope, and may He grant you quietness and strength for each day as you walk before Him.
