Salvation and wedding

We join with you in prayer for this man and his family and we commend you for recognizing that salvation is not a small obstacle to your wedding but the very foundation upon which a godly marriage must be built.
We understand your desire for marriage and for a good life together, and it is right and honoring to God that you are waiting and not moving forward while he remains outside of Christ. The Word tells us Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity Or what fellowship has light with darkness 2 Corinthians 6:14. To enter into marriage, which is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman as God designed from the beginning Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:9, with one who does not believe is to be divided at the deepest level of life. Can two walk together, unless they have agreed Amos 3:3. A wife and husband are called to spur one another toward Christ, to pray together, to raise children in the fear of the Lord, and that cannot happen if one does not know the Lord. We encourage you to remain in courtship with the goal of marriage only if he becomes a brother in Christ, and to guard your purity before marriage, for marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers Hebrews 13:4. We urge you both to flee from fornication, for every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body 1 Corinthians 6:18, and to keep yourselves pure until the wedding day if it is God's will to bring you together as husband and wife.
We also noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and that any prayer is heard. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. 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. Salvation comes when we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead Romans 10:9, being born again John 3:3 by grace through faith. This is what we long for for this man and his family, not merely that a wedding can take place, but that they would have eternal life, for God desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4 and is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9.
So we pray together with you now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace. We lift up this dear man and his entire family to You. We ask that You open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, that You soften their hearts to hear the gospel, and that You draw them by Your Holy Spirit to repentance and faith in Jesus. Lord, grant that this man would confess Jesus as Lord, believe that You raised Him from the dead, and be born again into Your family. Save his household, Lord, as You have promised to work in families who seek You. We pray that if it is Your will, You would make him a man after Your own heart, ready to love a wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her Ephesians 5:25.
Father, we also lift up this courtship. We ask for Your wisdom and strength for our sister as she waits. Help her to trust in You with all her heart and not lean on her own understanding, and in all her ways acknowledge You so You will direct her paths Proverbs 3:5-6. Guard her from compromise and from rushing ahead of Your timing. If this man comes to genuine saving faith and walks faithfully with You, we pray You would then bless their wedding and establish their marriage on the rock of Your Word, that their home would be filled with love, which is the bond of perfection Colossians 3:14, and that they would delight themselves in You Psalm 37:4. But if he continues to reject Christ, give her the courage to remain obedient to You and to release this relationship, trusting that You have good plans for her.
We ask all of this in the precious and only saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to share the gospel with him in love and with reverence, to live before him and his family as a testimony of Christ, to pray fervently for them, and to seek counsel from mature believers and your pastor as you discern this courtship. Trust the Lord's timing, remain steadfast in prayer and in purity, and know that God will honor your obedience as you seek first His Kingdom.

We hear your love for ### and his family in this request, and your desire to see your future marriage built on shared faith in Jesus. Waiting is not easy when you care deeply for someone, and the way you are putting his salvation before the wedding tells us how much you value both him and the covenant you hope to enter.
Salvation is God's gracious work in the heart, something we can pray for, gently share, and live out before others, but we cannot create for someone else. The most loving thing you can do is keep bringing ### before the Lord, continue to walk faithfully yourself, and give room for God to work in His timing.
One steady next step that often helps in this season is to invite a trusted pastor or a mature married couple who knows you both to walk with you while you wait. They can pray with you specifically for ### and help you think through what a Christ-centered engagement and marriage preparation could look like when the time is right.
Father, we lift ### and his family to You and ask that You would draw them to Yourself through Jesus. We ask for Your wisdom and strength for our friend as she waits and loves well, and for Your leading over their future wedding and marriage. Guide their steps and keep them close to You. In Jesus' name, amen.

I will pray to the Lord and listen to my audio bible. And I must serve the Lord and resist temptation. May God strengthen the hands of those who do his will. Repenting the life of ugly pornoghraghic sin. So I can go to heaven to be with God. My reward. To have a wife and go to heaven to be with God. Warm. Safe. Alive. Feeling well. Eternal. Preserved. Gods love. Pray for me that I will never go back to the vomit. Abstinence is the only way to live. Prayer scriptures and chastity is life. Lord Yeshua is life. He is the light and the life. His word is truth. Deliver me from new age. Except the NWO is very real deliver me from paraniod delusions and fears brought on by new age like esoteric like types of internet conspiracy web based beliefs. Websites blocked. Lord Yeshuas name.

Your request has been laid before the Lord with care and heaviness of heart, and we join you in seeking the mercy of God for this soul and his household.
We will pray earnestly for his salvation, for there is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved but the name of Jesus Christ. The Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed. Salvation is not by works nor by price, but by Divine Grace through faith in Christ Jesus. It is to look unto Him and be saved, to trust in His Person, to depend upon Him without fear as to present and eternal salvation. We pray that the Lord in His sovereign mercy would bring this man to see his need, to look unto Christ alone, and to believe on Him with a true and living faith, for without faith there is no salvation. We pray also for his family, that the grace of God would work with them to make them seek, and to knock, and to ask, till the door is opened.
You have done well to let salvation stand as that which blocks the wedding, for the precept of the Lord still stands, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. We have seen sorrow come where that yoke of Christ was rejected and a marriage was not in the Lord. To enter into the lifelong covenant of marriage, which God ordained for one man and one woman, while one remains outside of Christ, is to invite hardness and grief. The waiting you now endure, though painful, is a mercy and a guard. We cannot ask God to bless a marriage that would be unequally yoked, but we will ask Him to save, and then to establish what is holy and according to His will.
We will pray that if it be the Lord's will, this man being brought to faith, your marriage may be in the Lord, kept pure until that covenant is made, for that union and all that belongs to it is ordained to be within marriage alone, and that He would then grant you a good marriage life, built upon Christ who Himself is our salvation, kept by grace and ordered in holiness.
May the Lord give you patience to wait upon Him, courage to hold fast to His Word, and faith to leave the whole matter of salvation with Christ in unquestioning confidence. He is able to save to the uttermost, and His honor is engaged to save the meanest of His sheep who look unto Him.
We pray that God would show His great power in this greatest of works, that He alone is God and beside Him there is none else, and that you both may yet rejoice together in the common salvation which is without money and without price, a present and perfect salvation by grace.
