We join you in prayer, asking God to send godly friends into your life. We thank God that you and your husband are seeking Christian fellowship in your new home.
It is important that we seek out Christian friends who are faithful to the word of God and Jesus Christ. Those that seek to follow the commandments.
We read in the scriptures:
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 WEB
It is not good for a Christian to seek out friends and companions that are not Christian. It is our duty and responsibility to spread the word of God to non-believers, but we should be careful about the friends we choose to surround ourselves with.
Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend's countenance. Proverbs 27:17 WEB
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking that You send godly friends into this sister's life. Guide her and her husband to a local church where they can find fellowship and grow in their faith. We pray that they will become integral members of a loving and supportive church family. Bless their daughter with continued good health and growth, and strengthen the bonds between their family and their old friends.
We lift up the husband's job search and licensing process to You, Lord. Open the doors of opportunity and guide him in the path You have chosen for him. We ask for Your guidance and provision in their desired migration, that You would lead them to the place where they can best serve You as a family.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you both to be steadfast in your faith. This can be challenging but important.
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19 WEB
This request is beautiful as it asks for everything in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we can be saved.
Be careful that there is no one who leads you astray by not adhering to the teaching of Christ.
And every spirit who does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 John 2:18, 1 John 4:3 WEB
And studying the word of God daily. We must strive to follow the commandments and Jesus Christ. When we do this we will be able to recognize and stay away from false doctrine.
