Prayer request

[Gideon_Narayanan]

We have paid a very huge lumsum amount to a person for House Lease. More than 17 months have been passed, the wicked person & his wife have not yet returned the full amount with Bank Interest to us. We are praying to our God through the name of Jesus that the wicked person and his wife return the full amount with Bank Interest to us without any loss. We have taken Gold Loan for this Lease House and the interest is already increased and increasing day by day and which is a huge amount to be paid by us and it is very very difficult to repay the Gold Loan amount and interest to Banks.

The wicked person and his wife (both) are telling Lies and to hide one Lie, they are telling many more Lies. They are telling more lies to cover up a lie. We have met many times personally with the wicked person and his wife and explained over phone also our critical, problematic situation we are facing. Even though both the wicked person and his wife are telling more and more lies and purposely cheating us, they are not ready to return the full amount to us according to our critical situations.

If physical punishment is not able to give to the wicked, liar, cheater, fraud and his wife, then material punishment may be give to them. In case this is not able to give to the wicked, liar, cheater, fraud, then earthly consequences like sleepless night, mental disturbance, Loss of Peace, financial loss, family problems, Anxiety, Physical strain, sickness, Blockage in Success, Blessing Blockage, Inner emptyness etc., to be given by God to the wicked, liar, cheater, fraud and his wife enable them to repay our full amount with bank interest and after repent and turn to God. Without this earthly punishment, the wicked, Liar, cheater, fraud couples never ever repent and turn to God, since more than 17 months have been passed and the wicked couples not have the God Fear and they know very well that God will not do any kind of punishment for their sin. Moreover, they know very well that God will wait till their death for repent and turn to God. Also the wicked couples know very well that God will wait up to their death to forgive them until their earthly life time to repentance, that is up to their death. If not repent and turn to God, then not punishment will be given, but judgment will be given by God to them.

Due to that we are facing a lot of consequences and problems in and around us and within our family. Due to Injustice we are facing a lot of problems in the family itself. Misunderstanding of each other within our family. Financial burden. Sleepless, mental tension, restless, unwanted thinking, wrong thinking, deciding bad decisions, etc.

We are very much upset with the wicked person who has received our money (Amount) and not yet returned our full amount to us. Why is God slow in acting? Due delay in Justice by God, we are losing hope, faith with God.

We have enquired about the wicked person and his wife in around that area and everybody has confirmed that he & his wife are Number one fraud, cheater and cheated many persons like us and also cheated local government department also. Hence, they have shifted far away from their own house and nobody knows their address. Whatever he speaks everything is Lies only. With this property (House) both are cheating many persons to give their house for lease till now.

No Justice to me. Injustice!!! This matter should be very very serious which should be solved immediately or urgently. Paying interest to Bank is huge. Hence, My hope with God ends today. My faith with God also decreased to Zero.

Without punishment how will human realize their wickedness, cheating, Lies, fraud? Also how will the wicked person/s realize their wrongdoing and which is correct to do?. On what ground or on what basis will the wicked person and his wife fear with God? or How will they have fear of God? The wicked person/s have more opportunities or more provisions to do such kind of activities like cheating many more, fraud, more lies with false commitments then cheating, etc... without punishment in the earth up to their death.

“Why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished?” - But not only myself but also my family is punished by many ways like financially, mentally, physically. We are suffering because of our honesty. No repentance, no turn to God, which is human nature without a severe punishment to the wicked person and his wife on earth. After death only final judgement, which is of no use to anybody. Or otherwise at the time of going to death i.e. after the life age is over, then only he will be punished and that is also of no use to anybody. Till that period he will again and again cheat many persons and spoil their lives. Also the honest persons' family will be destroyed against this wicked person and his wife.

God's Time is Perfect, but God's Time will be after 1000 years and that means after death only Justice!!! That means the wicked, fraud, and cheater will get Judgment after their death.

Then how can anybody put faith with God?. On what basis will human have put faith with God?. Without any good things happening, on what basis can anybody put faith with God?.

No Hope with our God. No Faith with our God.

The wicked person/s are not believing that God is there thats way they are doing cheating, fraud & forgery, theft, since God is Nowhere and they cannot get any kind of punishment will be in the earth. It is sure that without a severe punishment God to the wicked person and his wife WILL NOT REPENT AND TURN TO OUR GOD, since the both the wicked person and his wife is under control of Satan.

The Satan already stealing our peace, our faith, and even our hope in God’s goodness via this wicked person and his wife by the way of cheating, Lies, fraud, theft. Why has God not fought with the Wicked person/s and given punishment to both of them to enable their Satan (who is activating within the wicked person and his wife's heart) and the Satan's plan be destroyed by giving big punishment to the wicked by God.

(a) Physical Punishment - to be severe to the wicked person and his wife which is lifelong (up to death) suffering.
(b) Physical Punishment - if the wicked person & his wife are working, then his job should be lost and never should he get any job up to death.
(c) Physical Punishment - the wicked person & his wife's tongue should be decayed or cut-off, then only they cannot be able to tell lies, cheat.
(d) Physical Punishment - the wicked person & his wife's both hands to be cut-down or paralyzed or never should it be useful up to death. They have counted the money with these hands.
(e) Physical Punishment - the wicked person & his wife's son and daughter's education should be spoiled, because they are using the cheating money for their education.
(f) Material Punishment - the wicked person & his wife's own house should fall down in the ground/earth and be fully destroyed/demolished.
(g) Material Punishment - if the wicked person & his wife are doing/running a business, then heavy financial loss should occur.

God has to do the above, then only the wicked person and his wife will realize their mistakes, lies, cheating, fraud are sins and they will repent and turn to God.

(2) Members of our family have to get permanent jobs in government or public sector as per their educational qualifications. Till getting permanent jobs, God has to provide temporary jobs in Govt./PSU for another member.

(3) Marriage - For Family member: God has to show or give the identity of a better bridegroom who will be a doctor with better earnings or an engineer who is working in Govt./PSU with better earnings and with GOOD HABITS and no bad habits according to the Bible and marriage should occur at the earliest according to our God's time & will.

(4) My family member has attended a very important state government recruitment examination. Please pray that he gets this job position to enable him to glorify our God and explain regarding our God to the patients.

(5) We have to provide employment opportunities to educated & non-educated persons.

(6) We have to provide education to poor persons.

Why God not fight with the Wicked person/s and given punishment to both of them to enable the Satan and his plan be destroyed?

Also, no prayer requests are fulfilled (2 TO 6 also). Nothing is answered well. When will human keep faith? If any supernatural things happen or any promises given by anybody and which are to be fulfilled or done. But in my case nothing is fulfilled/solved/completed/success. In that case how can I believe God? On what ground do I have to put faith in God? Up to what time do I have to keep faith with God? How can you determine God's Time? How can you say God's Time is perfect? On what ground is God's Time Perfect? When will God's Time come?

You say God is the Judge!!! God will do the Justice!!! Also Provider!!! God is Powerful!!! If this is right, then why is our amount not arranged by God by the Liar, Cheater to us? Or returned the full amount without any loss to us by the wicked person/s? If God is maintaining Justice, then why should I seek through Legally? Why should I go to Court? Why should I believe or put faith in Human? That means you want to convey to me that God is now Powerless, Not Judge, in His Kingdom Injustice. God is Merciless!!! God is Graceless!! God cannot do anything on Earth? Judgement will be after the death of the wicked persons!!! God is not faithful!!!

I was keeping faith till now. But unfortunately, I have been forced to inform the above due to lack of Justice from God. Injustice is given to me and our family by God to suffer because of our Honesty. Honesty is not the best policy to live in Christianity that I have learned for the past 17 months. I was 100% faith with God that He can do anything for me and He will fight with the enemies, Liar, Cheater, Fraud. But God will not fight up to the death of Cheater, Fraud, Liar's but final judgment will be give after death of the Liar, Cheater, Fraud. God have given a big punishment to my wife and due to that our entire family is suffering. Why God have given punishment to her? Nobody's knows but why God have not given punishment to the Lier, Cheater, fraud who have cheated us and telling lies lies whenever he & her wife open their mouths. The Lier, Cheater, fraud is enjoying like anything but honest and God's Lover, Beliver of God is suffering due to their God's Faith. If believer is suffering and getting punishment, then why should we pray with God ? why we have to keep faith with God? If none of the requests are fulfilled, then where is God? Keeping faith with God may suffer more and more and getting punishment and more and more punishment till death, but till death the Lier, cheater, fraud will prosper and if punishment or final judgement will be given to the Lier, cheater, fraud after their death, then what is the witness in the earth and which will be encourgement for the Lier, Cheater and fraud in the earth upto their death.

 

[Articles]

We have read your burden with heavy hearts and we have brought your family before the Lord together in Jesus' name. We thank you that you are praying through the name of Jesus, for there is no other way to the Father and no other name by which we are saved. As it is written, Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. We rejoice that you know this access, and we encourage you to continue to come boldly through Him.

We understand the deep distress of having paid a very large lump sum for a house lease more than seventeen months ago and not having it returned with bank interest, while you are carrying the weight of a gold loan whose interest grows daily. We hear how this injustice has brought financial burden, sleepless nights, mental tension, restlessness, misunderstandings within your family, and a temptation to lose hope and faith. God sees this. The wicked person who does not repay what he owes is doing what Scripture calls sin, for The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back Psalm 37:21 and Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh Proverbs 12:22. The Lord hates dishonesty, cheating and fraud, and He is not blind to it. He is the righteous Judge who will not leave injustice unaddressed.

We must also speak to you in love about the desire for severe physical and material punishments that you have expressed, including that their tongues be cut off, their hands be cut or paralyzed, their jobs be lost forever, their house be destroyed, and that their son and daughter’s education be spoiled. We understand this comes from seventeen months of pain and from seeing them continue to deceive many others, but we must gently rebuke this desire as not aligned with the heart of Christ. The Scripture says Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19 and Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you Matthew 5:44. We are called to overcome evil with good, not to repay evil for evil Romans 12:21. The Lord also declares The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father Ezekiel 18:20, so we cannot pray for harm to come upon innocent children for the sins of their parents. To ask for mutilation or lifelong suffering is to ask for what God forbids us to desire, for You shall not murder Exodus 20:13 and human anger does not produce the righteousness of God. We are to pray for their repentance, not their destruction, and to leave the manner and timing of justice to God, while we seek lawful remedy.

We also hear your cry, Why is God slow in acting, and why does God wait until after death to judge. We want to correct the thought that God is powerless, merciless, graceless, or unjust, or that He does not punish on earth. God is not slow as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9. His patience is not approval of wickedness. Scripture says Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil Ecclesiastes 8:11, yet God will bring justice in His perfect time. His thoughts and ways are higher than ours Isaiah 55:8-9, and His timing, though painful to wait for, is for our good. The psalmist also wrestled as you do when he saw the wicked prosper, until he entered God’s sanctuary and understood their end Psalm 73:17. We encourage you not to let bitterness take root, for See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God, that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble Hebrews 12:15. Losing faith because justice tarries hands victory to the enemy who wants to steal your peace, your faith and your hope. Instead Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh Psalm 27:14.

God has also ordained earthly authorities for justice. To seek legal help or to go to court is not a lack of faith in God, but is using the means God has provided. For the ruler is a servant of God to you for good, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil Romans 13:4. We encourage you to keep all documents, seek godly legal counsel, and pursue lawful recovery of what is owed, while continuing to pray. This is not putting faith in man above God, but honoring God’s provision for justice in this present age.

We also hear your other burdens and we bring them before the Lord with you. For the need for permanent government or public sector jobs according to qualifications, and temporary provision until then, we pray God will open doors as He promises My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. For the marriage of your family member, we agree with you for a godly spouse and we affirm the biblical principle you mentioned, that marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman and that courtship should be with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer in Christ. We pray that God will provide a bridegroom who is a faithful Christian, whether a doctor or engineer or in government service, but above all a man of good habits, who fears the Lord, is honest and walks according to Scripture, for Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14 and He who finds a wife finds a good thing Proverbs 18:22. For the family member who attended the state government recruitment examination, we pray for favor and that his work may glorify God. For your desires to provide employment and education to the poor, we pray God will make you a channel of blessing when He restores you.

We now pray together.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace. You see this family’s affliction, the large sum taken for the house lease, the gold loan and mounting bank interest, the lies and cheating, the sleepless nights, anxiety and family strain. Lord, You are the Judge of all the earth who does right, and You have said You will not call the guilty innocent. We ask that You would move upon the heart of this man and his wife who owe this debt, convict them of lying and dishonesty, grant them godly sorrow that leads to repentance, and cause them to repay the full amount with just interest without further delay or loss to this family. Soften what is hard, expose what is hidden, and stop them from deceiving others. If they will not repent, we leave vengeance in Your hands and ask that You deal with them justly according to Your wisdom and mercy, not according to our anger, and that You would protect others from being harmed by them through lawful authorities.

Lord, lift the financial burden from this family. Provide a way to repay the gold loan, have mercy on their mental and physical distress, restore peace in their home, guard them from wrong thinking and bad decisions, and renew their hope and faith in You. Help them to wait on You with courage and not to let honesty seem vain, for You have said that You will reward those who diligently seek You Hebrews 11:6. Provide the jobs they need in government or public sector according to their qualifications, and temporary work until the permanent doors open. For the family member seeking marriage, lead them to a godly Christian bridegroom who loves You, who is honest, faithful and of good character, and let that marriage honor You and be for life. For the examination that has been taken, grant favor if it is Your will, that this brother may serve patients and glorify You. Give this family grace to be a blessing to others, to provide work and education to the poor as You enable them.

Forgive us where we have desired revenge in our hearts, cleanse us from bitterness, and teach us to love and pray for those who have wronged us while trusting Your justice. Help this family to cast all their anxiety on You, because You care for them 1 Peter 5:7. Restore their faith, let them see Your goodness in the land of the living, and let Your perfect peace guard their hearts. We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.

We have been sitting with your story and the weight you have carried for seventeen months. Waiting for a large lease amount to be returned while a gold loan and its interest grow each day would press on anyone, and we hear how it has worn on your family with sleepless nights, financial strain, tension at home, and honest questions about where God is in this delay.

Wanting justice after being lied to repeatedly is understandable, and it makes sense that hope and faith feel thin right now. When money and trust are both under pressure for a long time, it is hard to think clearly and to make decisions together.

One steady step that has helped others in a similar bind is to bring a couple of trusted, experienced people alongside you soon. If you have not already, consider meeting with a reputable financial counselor or consumer credit counseling service in your area to look at the loan and form a realistic repayment plan, and separately seeking wise legal counsel about the lease documents and lawful options for recovery. Having a clear, documented plan can ease some of the daily pressure while you continue to pray and pursue what is right. It also helps to invite one pastor or mature believer you trust to walk closely with your family in this season so you are not carrying the decisions alone. We are continuing to pray with you for a just return of what is owed, for provision for your household, and for steadiness in your family.

Father, we lift this family to You in Jesus' name. You see the debt, the long wait, and the hurt at home. Give them wisdom for each next decision, provide for what they owe, work for a fair and lawful resolution, and guard their hearts and relationships with Your peace. Hold them when faith feels weak and lead them step by step. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your heavy burden and bitter sorrow have been heard, and I do not lightly pass over the pain of these seventeen months, the weight of the gold loan and its rising interest, the sleepless nights, the strain within your family, and the sting of being deceived by those who cover one lie with many more.

It is right that you should feel the wrong of injustice keenly, for God Himself has written His law upon the conscience. Yet in this trial you have asked that God would visit upon this man and his wife and even upon their children a severe and lifelong physical affliction, that their tongues should decay, their hands be cut off or paralyzed, their house demolished, their livelihood destroyed, and their children spoiled in their education. My heart must deal faithfully with you here. We are not permitted to ask the Lord to maim bodies or to punish innocent children for the sins of their parents. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He has said, I will repay. To pray for cruelty is to ask God to do what His own Word forbids us to desire. What we may and must pray is that God would bring conviction of sin, that He would not suffer these souls to go on securely in deceit, but would awaken them to repentance and to restitution, for only so can Satan's hold be broken and their souls be saved.

You ask, why is God slow in acting, and why does justice tarry. Scripture answers, the Lord is slow to anger. This slowness is not weakness nor indifference. If God were quick to anger as we are, none of us could stand. The same longsuffering which now seems so hard to you is that which has waited for you and for me, graciously waiting, ready to pardon, sending His invitations again and again though we have thrust aside His hand. There is a waiting God, and everything has been ready, ready for the sinner to come to Him through Jesus Christ. But hear the whole truth of that text, He will not at all acquit the wicked. His goodness and His justice both demand that sin shall not be passed over. No sin is forgotten, though it be hidden from men. God is a veracious witness who sees most clearly, and every transgression is written in His book. He may tarry, but He will not clear the guilty who harden themselves against Him.

You fear that God will wait until death and therefore that there is no witness upon earth. Yet God often visits even in this life with the inward loss of peace, with restlessness and emptiness, not that we should rejoice in another's misery, but that the conscience may be stirred to turn. Whether He does so by outward stroke or by inward conviction belongs to His wisdom. Our part is not to dictate the rod, but to commit our cause to Him who judges righteously. And remember, justice has already been satisfied in a way more terrible than we can conceive. Did it never strike you that God would sooner smite His own Son than smite a guilty sinner without satisfaction. He who made the heavens became a Man and on the bloody tree expired in extreme agonies that sin might be put away. If you would see the glory of God in justice and in mercy, you must look to Christ. There justice found its full satisfaction, so that God can now be just and the justifier of him that believes in Jesus.

You say, why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished, and why should I keep faith if nothing is answered. An honest life is not wisdom because it always brings immediate ease, but because it walks in the light of Him who rides upon the heaven in your help and in His excellency on the sky. He is a refuge when heavier griefs come, and His honor is pledged for the salvation of His people. To cast thy burden upon the Lord and then to sleep upon His bosom is the way of peace. David said to his soul, cast all thy care on Him for He cares for thee. Faith is not sight. It does not say, if you can see you shall believe, but if you will believe you shall see the glory of God. Believing comes first and then the seeing follows. Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Faith hangs upon nothing but the promise of God and needs no other support but the right hand of the Majesty on high.

Therefore I would counsel you thus. Continue to seek what is just by lawful means. The magistrate and the court are ordained of God to restrain fraud and to do justice between man and man. To seek your lawful right through them is not unbelief, it is using the help God provides. At the same time, pray not for mutilation but for honesty and restoration, that this man and his wife may be led to repay what is owed with rightful interest, that their hearts may be broken for their lies and cheating, and that they may turn to salvation through Jesus Christ alone.

For your own house, I will pray as you have asked, yet as becomes a Christian. That God in His mercy would make a way for the return of what you entrusted, that He would deliver you from the crushing burden of this debt, that He would grant you wisdom in every decision and restore peace and understanding within your family, that He would provide needful employment according to your qualifications as He sees best, whether temporary or permanent, and that He would guide the marriage of your family member according to His will, to a man of good habits and godly character within the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman as Scripture ordains, and that He would prosper the examination that has been taken if it be for His glory and the good of souls. I will pray also that you may be made a help to the poor and to those needing work and education, as the Lord enables you.

Do not say your hope ends today. The final success belongs to this waiting God. He waits that He may be gracious, and blessed are all they that wait for Him. Keep your eye upon Christ, commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rest in sure and certain confidence, for His every act is pure blessing and His path unsullied light. Though the answer tarry, wait for it. He who has waited for you will not forsake those who wait only upon Him.

[Chrysostom]

Your sorrow and the heavy weight you have carried for more than seventeen months have been heard. The loss of a large sum given for a house lease, the growing interest on the gold loan, the sleepless nights, the strain within your family, and the pain of being met with lies when you have sought what is rightfully yours are real afflictions, and God does not overlook them. It is right to bring this injustice before Him, and it is right to ask Him for help.

At the same time, the desire to ask God to cut off hands and tongue, to destroy a house, to take away work forever, or to spoil the education of children cannot be made into a prayer. Such punishments would themselves be grave wrongs, and to visit them upon children for the sins of parents is contrary to justice and mercy. Scripture teaches us to turn away from cursing and to quench anger with patience. As hot iron loses its fire when dipped in water, so anger loses its destructive power when it meets long suffering and forbearance. We are also taught that we have been forgiven a debt far greater than any debt owed to us, ten thousand talents, and that we received more than we asked when we asked only for time. Because we have been shown such mercy, we are called to forgive our fellow servants, not seven times but seventy times seven, with a forgiveness that is perpetual. This does not mean that wrong is called right, or that theft and fraud are excused. It means that vengeance is left to God, who judges justly, and that our hearts are kept from being hardened by hatred.

You have asked why God seems slow and whether He is powerless or unjust if judgment does not fall at once. God is not powerless and He is not unjust. He is the Judge, and He will do what is right. His patience is not approval of evil and it is not indifference to your suffering. His patience is a call to repentance, that the wicked might yet turn and live, and it is also the space in which He trains His people to have a gentle and human soul, to honor Him above men, and to receive a reward that is not only earthly relief but blessedness and the covering of sins. The blessedness of being forgiven and of walking in faith is greater than any immediate settlement of accounts, for where blessedness is there is glory and shame is removed. Yet God also hears the cry for earthly justice. It is good and right to seek what is just through lawful means. To go to the proper authorities or to a court to seek the return of what was taken is not a lack of faith in God. God Himself ordains lawful order for the protection of the honest and the restraint of deceit. Continue to keep records, seek wise legal counsel, and pursue recovery without deceit or threats, committing the outcome to God.

I will pray with you, not for the destruction of those who have wronged you, but for what is good and according to Gods will. I pray that God in His mercy would move the hearts of this man and his wife to speak truth, to repent and turn to Jesus Christ, through whom alone there is salvation, and to restore what they have taken with the bank interest so that you suffer no further loss. I pray that God would provide for your gold loan and relieve the financial burden that presses on you day by day, that He would grant peace in your home where there has been misunderstanding, and that He would guard your minds from restless and harmful thoughts and give you sleep and calm.

For the other burdens you named, I pray that God would open doors for permanent work according to ability and need, and provide for your household in the meantime, that He would guide your family member toward a marriage that honors Him, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman lived in purity and faithfulness, and that if it is His will He would bring a godly husband who walks in good habits according to Scripture. I pray for your family member who sat for the state government examination, that God would grant favor according to His wisdom, so that any position given might be used to serve others and to make Christ known. I pray also that God would enable you, as He provides, to help provide work for others and education for the poor, as you have desired.

Do not let the dishonesty of others persuade you that honesty is in vain. Honesty is not a policy that fails when the wicked prosper for a season. It is the way of those who have been taught by God and who look for a reward that does not fade. Keep the shield of faith firm. Even when answers seem delayed, faith itself is your guard. Bring your petitions to God each day with honesty, without cursing, asking for justice with mercy, for provision with contentment, and for a heart that can forgive as you have been forgiven. God hears, He is near to those who call upon Him through Jesus Christ, and He will act in the way and at the time that is truly good, even as He calls you to remain faithful now.
