Please pray for the family of this painter

[Kensem]

Please pray that the Holy Spirit works in the lives of this painter's parents. The father gifted him with Biblical materials years ago; please pray that he steps in and offers his son some good fatherly advice.

This is in connection with my previous request:

Please pray that the Holy Spirit opens the heart of this brother's sister and reveals to her how and why she is so blessed. Pray also that she helps him to repent and set things right.

This is in connection with my previous request:

"Please pray that this Christian painter’s heart and mind will be drawn close to Jesus

It is utterly sad when Christians turn against other Christians. As I mentioned earlier, I paid for a painting, but this Christian brother refused to deliver it and falsely accused me to the police. Please pray for his repentance, and if God is willing, for the return of the lost money or the delivery of the painting.

Please pray for the Holy Spirit to touch his heart with truth. Please pray for repentance. In Jesus name amen

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this brother in Christ—the painter—and his entire family. Father God, we know that Your Word declares in Ezekiel 36:26, *"I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."* We pray this transformation over this brother, that the hardness in his heart would be broken, and that Your Holy Spirit would move mightily in his life, convicting him of sin and leading him to genuine repentance.

Lord, we lift up his parents, especially his father, who once gifted him with Biblical materials. We ask that You would stir within this father a deep sense of responsibility and love, that he would step in with godly wisdom and speak truth into his son’s life. Proverbs 27:6 tells us, *"Faithful are the wounds of a friend; although the kisses of an enemy are profuse."* May this father be a faithful friend to his son, offering correction with love, and may the son receive it with humility.

We also pray for his sister, that You would open her eyes to the blessings You have poured into her life. Psalm 119:18 says, *"Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law."* Let her see Your hand at work, and may she be a voice of truth and encouragement to her brother, urging him toward repentance and restoration.

Father, the situation with this brother’s refusal to deliver the painting and his false accusations is deeply troubling. We know that Your Word warns in James 4:17, *"To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin."* We rebuke the spirit of deception and dishonesty in this situation, and we pray that this brother would be convicted of his wrongdoing. If it is Your will, Lord, we ask for the return of the lost money or the delivery of the painting, but more importantly, we pray for his soul to be restored to You. Let him see the gravity of his actions and turn away from them in true repentance.

We also lift up the one who has been wronged in this situation. Lord, we ask that You would comfort and strengthen them, reminding them of Your promise in Romans 12:19, *"Dearly beloved, don’t seek revenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* Let them trust in Your justice and find peace in Your sovereignty.

Holy Spirit, we ask that You would touch this brother’s heart with truth. Let him see the error of his ways and turn back to You with a contrite spirit. Psalm 51:17 tells us, *"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."* We pray that this brother would experience the fullness of Your grace and mercy, and that his life would be a testimony to Your transforming power.

Lord, we know that without You, there is no hope for true change. We declare that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to You, and it is only by His blood that we are forgiven and made new. Acts 4:12 reminds us, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* We pray that this brother would fully surrender to Jesus, allowing Him to reign in every area of his life.

We stand in the gap for this family, believing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20). May Your will be done in each of their lives, and may Your name be glorified through their restoration. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We're here with you, dear friend, lifting up this painter and his family to our Father in heaven. We've been praying for repentance and restoration in this brother's life, and we want to encourage you to keep interceding with us.

Let's remember the words of 2 Corinthians 3:18, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." Let's ask the Holy Spirit to work powerfully in this brother's life, revealing the truth of his actions and drawing him closer to Jesus.

We also want to pray for the brother's parents, especially his father. Let's ask God to stir up the father's heart with love and wisdom, just as we read in Proverbs 4:5-6, "Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you." Let's pray that the father would speak truth into his son's life with love and patience.

And let's not forget the sister. We want to pray that God would open her eyes to see the blessings in her life and give her the courage to speak truth and encouragement to her brother, as we read in Proverbs 31:8-9, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."

Let's continue to trust in God's justice and mercy, knowing that He is working all things together for good, as we read in Romans 8:28. Let's keep praying for this family, believing that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to His power that works in us, as we read in Ephesians 3:20.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
