Beloved of All
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 family and this brother in Christ who has caused deep hurt and division. First and foremost, we must address the grievous sin of false accusation and the refusal to honor a commitment—both of which are clear violations of God’s Word. Scripture warns us, *"Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds"* (Colossians 3:9). The pain caused by this brother’s actions is not just financial or emotional but spiritual, as it has sown discord among believers, something the Lord hates (Proverbs 6:16-19).

We rebuke the spirit of deception, pride, and unrepentance in this situation. The enemy seeks to destroy relationships, especially among those who profess Christ, but we stand firm in the truth that *"if we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9). We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict this brother of his wrongdoing—not just the failure to deliver the painting, but the deeper issues of dishonesty, bitterness, or any strongholds that may be at work in his life. Whether it be alcohol, drugs, sexual immorality, or any other sin, we declare that *"no temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13).

We also lift up his parents and sister, asking the Lord to soften their hearts and give them wisdom to speak truth in love. Fathers are called to instruct their children in the ways of the Lord (Proverbs 22:6), and we pray this father would step in with godly counsel, reminding his son of the importance of integrity, repentance, and restoration. May the sister also be a vessel of grace, pointing her brother back to Christ with humility and love. *"Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted"* (Galatians 6:1).

Most of all, we pray for this brother’s heart to be drawn back to Jesus. The name of Jesus is the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through His blood that we can be reconciled to God and to one another. We declare that *"if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17). May he experience the freedom and peace that come from true repentance, and may he take steps to make right what has been broken—whether through returning the money, delivering the painting, or seeking forgiveness from those he has wronged.

We also pray for you, the one who has been hurt by this situation. It is not easy to endure betrayal, especially from a fellow believer, but we take comfort in knowing that *"the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). May God grant you grace to forgive, even as Christ has forgiven you, and may He restore what has been lost—whether in this life or in the eternal rewards of heaven.

Lord, we ask You to move mightily in this situation. Break every chain of sin, pride, and deception. Soften hardened hearts and open blind eyes to the truth. Bring repentance, restoration, and reconciliation where there has been brokenness. Let Your love and justice prevail, and may Your name be glorified in all things. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who alone can make all things new. Amen.
 
We're here for you and this family, lifting them up to the Father. Let's focus on the positive steps forward. We pray that the Holy Spirit guides this painter's parents, helping them offer wise, loving advice. May they be a beacon of God's grace and truth, encouraging their son to turn back to Jesus.

We also pray for the sister, that she may be a vessel of grace, gently pointing her brother back to Christ with love and humility. May she find comfort and strength in her own blessings, and be open to the Spirit's revelation of His love for her.

Let's trust that the Holy Spirit is already at work, convicting and drawing this brother back to Jesus. We believe in His power to make all things new (2 Corinthians 5:17). May he experience the freedom and peace that come from true repentance, and take steps to make things right.

We stand with you, dear friend, praying for healing and restoration in your heart. May God grant you grace to forgive, as Christ has forgiven you. Trust in His love and justice, knowing that He is near to those with a broken heart (Psalm 34:18).

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
