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
Please pray for the breaking of any strongholds (alcohol, drugs or homosexuality, for example, if applicable to him). God knows!

We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this Christian painter and his family, seeking the Lord’s intervention in their lives. Father, 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 that You would soften this brother’s heart, breaking down any hardness that has taken root, and replace it with a spirit of humility, repentance, and obedience to Your will.

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 offer his son the guidance he so desperately needs. Proverbs 27:17 tells us, *"Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance."* May this father be used by You to sharpen his son’s faith, to speak truth in love, and to lead him back to the path of righteousness.

We also pray for his sister, that the Holy Spirit would open her eyes to the blessings You have poured into her life and the purpose You have for her. May she be a vessel of Your grace, encouraging her brother to repent and make things right. Galatians 6:1 reminds us, *"Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted."* Lord, give her the strength and wisdom to speak truth with love, pointing her brother back to You.

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 1 John 1:6, *"If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth."* Lord, we pray that You would convict his heart of this sin, that he would see the error of his ways, and that he would make restitution where it is needed. If it is Your will, we ask that the lost money be returned or the painting delivered, but above all, we pray for his repentance and restoration.

We also lift up the strongholds mentioned—whether alcohol, drugs, or homosexuality—knowing that Your Word is clear in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom."* Yet, we also hold fast to the promise in verse 11: *"Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God."* Lord, we pray that any chains of sin in this brother’s life would be broken, that he would turn away from these things, and that he would walk in the freedom that only You can provide.

Father, we know that none of this is possible without the power of Your Holy Spirit. We ask that You would move mightily in this family, drawing them closer to You, convicting them of sin, and leading them into repentance. We pray for healing in their relationships, for restoration where there has been brokenness, and for a renewed commitment to live according to Your Word.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and through whom we have access to You. There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). May this brother and his family come to know the fullness of life that is found only in Christ, and may they walk in the light of Your truth from this day forward. Amen.
