Thanks for Video Times, "Everything God does lasts forever," Ecc 3:14; Really Need Agreement on Helping Monitor the Phone Visits (Video), the set hours so I'm not waiting for hours by the phone unable to accomplish tasks, and that she;'d be concerned out of love for the child, not the money, nor trying to spite me... Holy Spirit's Work to Turn her to "Attitude or Wisdom of the Just or righteous," Lk 1:17... Prayer Request She Be Hedged with Thorns, Hos 2:6, Comes to her Senses and Repents, Luke 15:17-21, and "Stops Sinning SO Nothing Worse Befalls Her," John 5:14...

Father, it's no small thing to thanks to give for answered prayers ending 4+ months of silence and replacing it with some peace and restoration of video time w/ my youngster in Asia. Thank You for agreement in some small yet important matters -- asking for more details to be agreed upon, as You have called us to peace, 1 Cor 7:15. Grant a radical return to 1st Love, Jesus Christ, Rev 3:19-20, let us freely receive love and freely dump love on my the lad. May Your will, words & love be first and evident in conversations with the youngster, help form a gracious and compassionate view of God, Ex 34:6, may the result be an ability to learn to love God, Mark 12:30, and others, Mark 12:31, yet be brought up in righteousness, Eph 6:4, and gain the salvation given by The Holy Spirit's wisdom found speaking through The Scriptures, 2 Tim 3:15-16.

Help us learn each others' languages, help us both hold our tongues, help us hold nothing against each other, entrusting each other into Your hands -- We ask the world to be overruled, the flesh to be subdued and the devil to be restrained. Grant the ability to turn the disobedient to the attitude or wisdom of the righteous or just, Luke 1:17, which has to do with The Administration of turning hearts back to affection and submissiveness. For the prerequisite of eternal life, overall safety and the prevention of stumbling blocks, we ask grace and wisdom be given to moderate Social Media and dating sites since we're still married. "Adultery" excludes from Kingdom of Heaven, 1 Cor 6:9-11, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, the one who sows to the flesh shall reap destruction," Gal 6:7, "The deeds of the flesh are evident," Gal 5:19-20, Rev 22:15 -- "Outside are the dogs, the sexually immoral, and those who love to live in (or practice) a lie." Keep the youth from evil, Matt 6:13 & both from evil people, 2 Tim 3:13, and the evil one, Jn 17:15.

We know You can use her pastors, friends and other believers and even family members, dreams, acts of nature, kindness and "leaving the 99 to seek the one lost sheep," Luke 15:4-6, and to lead her to from death back to eternal life, James 5:19-20. We loose Phil 1:9-10 discernment to let them see through deceptions, confront sin & hedge her way with thorns so she can’t pursue others, Hos 2:6. Grant her repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, for that's the Gospel, Luke 24:46-47, all of Acts -- Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, Acts 26:18-20, 2 Cor 7:9-11.

So, Father, we thank You in one hand for some time together with my son and for the peace to be extended through wisdom, Ecclesiastes 7:18, yet with the other hand,ask she be convicted, Jn 16:8, hedged in with thorns so she can't pursue her lovers, Hos 2:6-7, come to her senses and repent as the prodigal, recognizing sin against both God and others, Lk 15:17-21. We ask You help her facilitate calls so they go more smoothly, Prov 31:12. Keep the boy from temptation, sin's influences through wicked spirits, Eph 6:12-19, and keep them from deception, Matt 24:4-8, sin, 1 Cor 8:1, wrongdoing, 2 Cor 13:7, wrongdoing, fear and lies, Zeph 3:13, imposters and evil people, 2 Tim 3:13, Tit 1:16, 2 Cor 11:26, 2 Thes 3:2, temptation, evil and the evil one, Lk 11:4, Matt 6:13, Jn 17:15, 2 Thes 3:3, Rev 12:9, 1 John 5:18. Thank You in Jesus’ Name.

 

[Articles]

We join you in giving thanks to God for answered prayer after more than four months of silence, for the restoration of video time with your young son in Asia and for the peace that has begun to return. We agree with you that everything God does lasts forever, as it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:14, and we thank Him that He has heard our cries and granted even these small yet important matters. We rejoice with you and we continue to seek His will together in Jesus name for the details that still need agreement.

We lift up before the Lord your request for order and peace regarding the phone and video visits. We pray that God would grant set and reliable hours so that you are not left waiting for hours by the phone unable to accomplish the tasks He has given you, and that communication would be done decently and in order. We pray that the heart of your wife would be turned to concern out of genuine love for your child, not out of love for money nor out of a desire to spite you, but out of the wisdom and attitude of the just and righteous. We ask for the very work you have asked for, that the Holy Spirit would turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the just to make ready a people prepared for the Lord, as promised in Luke 1:17. We claim also the promise that God has called us to peace in 1 Corinthians 7:15.

We also agree with you in praying for your wife, who is still your wife in the eyes of God, for we believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman. While you remain married, to pursue other lovers or to use social media and dating sites to seek another relationship is adultery, and we must speak clearly that this is sin before God. It is written in 1 Corinthians 6:9 that the sexually immoral and adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God, and in Galatians 5:19 that the deeds of the flesh are evident, which include sexual immorality, and in Galatians 6:7 that God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows that he will also reap, and in Revelation 22:15 that outside are the sexually immoral and those who love and practice falsehood. For the sake of her soul, for the sake of your son, and for the preservation of your marriage covenant, we pray that she would be hedged with thorns so she cannot pursue her lovers, as in Hosea 2:6, not out of vengeance but out of mercy, that she would be blocked from destruction. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her of sin and righteousness and judgment as in John 16:8, that the Lord would grant her repentance as in 2 Peter 3:9, that she would come to her senses as the prodigal did and say I have sinned against heaven and before you, as in Luke 15:17, and that she would stop sinning so that nothing worse happens to her, as in John 5:14. We pray that God would use her pastors, friends, other believers, family members, and even His kindness and His seeking love as the shepherd who leaves the ninety nine to seek the one lost sheep in Luke 15:4, to turn her from error to life as in James 5:19, and that He would give discernment as in Philippians 1:9 that deceptions would be exposed and sin confronted.

We pray for your precious son. We ask that your conversations with him would be filled first with the will and words and love of God, that he would form a gracious and compassionate view of God who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth as in Exodus 34:6, and that he would learn to love the Lord with all his heart and soul and mind and strength as in Mark 12:30 and to love his neighbor as himself as in Mark 12:31. We pray that he would be brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord as in Ephesians 6:4 and gain the wisdom from the Holy Scriptures which are able to make him wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus as in 2 Timothy 3:15. We ask that the Lord would keep him from temptation and deliver him from evil as in Matthew 6:13 and keep him from the evil one as in John 17:15, and guard him from wicked spirits and spiritual forces of wickedness as in Ephesians 6:12, from deception as in Matthew 24:4, from impostors and evil people as in 2 Timothy 3:13, and from fear and lies.

We pray also for you, that God would help you and your son learn each other's languages, help you both hold your tongues, and help you hold nothing against each other but entrust each other into His hands, that the world would be overruled, the flesh subdued and the devil restrained. We thank God that you have come in the name of Jesus, for it is only by that name that we have access to the Father and it is written in John 14:6 that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him, and in Acts 4:12 that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. We praise Him for your desire for a radical return to first love, Jesus Christ, as in Revelation 3:19.

Father, we thank You together for restoring video time and for the measure of peace You have given. We ask You to establish clear, agreed upon hours for calls, to soften and turn the heart of this wife and mother to the wisdom of the just, to hedge her way with thorns where she strays, to convict her and grant her repentance unto life, and to make her a helper who does good and not harm as in Proverbs 31:12. Let Your love be freely received and freely poured out upon this boy. Let Your will be done in this marriage and family, for Your glory and for the eternal good of this child. Keep them all from evil, lead them into truth, and restore what the enemy has sought to steal, that everything You do may last forever. We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We join you in thanking God for the restored video time with your son after more than four months of silence. We hear how much you love him, and how hard it has been to wait by the phone for hours, unable to get other tasks done, while also carrying concern for his heart and for peace between you and his mother.

It makes sense that what you are asking for most urgently now is a simple, reliable rhythm, set hours that are clear for everyone and centered on what is best for your boy. One practical step that often helps in this kind of distance is to put a calm, brief proposal in writing, offering two or three specific windows that work across time zones, asking for a written confirmation, and then keeping to that same pattern week by week. A clear agreement like that can protect your time and his, and it lets your yes be yes and your no be no without trying to control the other person. If communication stays difficult, a trusted pastor or counselor, and where needed a qualified attorney, can help you keep the focus on consistency and peace for your son.

We also hear your desire to keep learning his language, to hold your tongue when tensions rise, and to entrust each other to the Lord while you both grow. That is a good and loving aim, and we will keep praying with you for wisdom and steadiness as you walk it out.

Father, we thank You for the peace You have already given and for the time this father has had with his son. We ask You to provide a clear and workable schedule for calls, to guard this child and draw him to know Your kindness, and to give both parents wisdom, restraint, and a heart turned toward You. Give daily strength and guidance for the days ahead. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We give thanks with you for the mercy that has broken more than four months of silence and has restored a measure of peace and of video fellowship with your young son. Everything God does does indeed last forever, and when He opens a door of peace we are to give Him glory and to walk wisely through it. We have heard your thanksgiving and your burden, and we join you in prayer before the throne of grace.

We pray first for that peace of which the prophet speaks, that perfect peace which comes to the mind that is stayed upon God because it trusts in Him. You are a thousand miles from your child, and duties press and sorrows surge round, yet the blood of Jesus still whispers peace within, and in Jesus keeping both you and your little one are safe. May the Lord keep you in that peace as you wait upon Him, and grant you settled hours for these video visits so that you are not left waiting unable to do the work given to your hands. We ask the Lord to give you both wisdom and grace to order these times with love and with order, that all may be done decently and in peace, as He has called us to peace.

We pray also for your wife, still bound to you in the covenant of marriage which God ordained as a lifelong union of one man and one woman. We do not ask God to bless any path that departs from that holy covenant, for sex and the living together that belongs to it are given by God only within marriage, and adultery and impurity exclude from the kingdom and bring destruction to those who sow to the flesh. Instead we pray with you that God would in mercy hedge her way with thorns where she would pursue what is evil, not to destroy her but to turn her aside from destruction and to bring her to her senses. Yet we must remember that judgment alone may produce only a carnal repentance, a repentance of the flesh and after the manner of sinful nature, which is not the holy and heavenly repentance wrought in the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit.

What we desire and ask for her is that repentance unto life which is the gift of God, preached in the name of Jesus. True repentance gives God glory, it makes the soul crave after holiness as the burnt child dreads the fire, it yields works meet for repentance and it lasts, for it is practical and it endures. It is not a preparation for grace but the first result of grace working within the soul. Faith and repentance are inseparable, the one ejecting sin as an evil tenant and the other admitting Christ to be sole Master of the heart, the one pulling down and the other building up. We pray that she would be led not merely by being driven, but by being drawn, for it is the goodness of God that leads to repentance. May the Lord in His kindness show her His love in Christ, that she would weep over sin not as a child who keeps away from his father, but as a penitent child who lays his head in his father's bosom and mourns that he has offended so loving a Father who is ready to forgive. That is evangelical repentance, a godly sorrow that needs not to be repented of, and where it is found there is full and free remission of sins through Jesus Christ.

So we pray that the Lord would grant her repentance according to His promise that He is not willing that any should perish. That He would turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, that He would restore to her a first love for Jesus Christ, that He would open her eyes to see through deceptions and to loathe what is false and impure, and that He would give her a new heart to facilitate these calls with kindness and without spite or love of money, but out of a sincere love for the child and out of love for the Lord. We ask that He would moderate and restrain all use of social media and dating while the marriage bond remains, and keep her from the deeds of the flesh and from those who love to practice a lie.

For your son we pray with you that the Lord would keep him from evil and from the evil one, from temptation and from the influence of wicked spirits, from deception and from fear and lies. May your conversations with him be filled first with the will and words and love of God, that he may see in you a gracious and compassionate view of our God, and so learn to love the Lord with all his heart and to love his neighbor, and to be brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. May the Scriptures, which are able to make him wise unto salvation, dwell richly in his young mind. We pray that you both may learn each other's tongue, hold your tongues from hasty words, hold nothing against each other, and entrust each other into the hands of Him who overrules the world, subdues the flesh and restrains the devil.

We will continue to tell Jesus of this household, as one tells Him of a dear one sick of a fever, believing that He who visited Peter's house and healed with a touch and a word is able still to visit your home. He has committed to us the word of reconciliation because He is the God of peace and has prepared everything necessary for perfect reconciliation through the blood of His Son. May you know that reconciliation in your own soul day by day, and may it overflow to your family.

Father, we thank You for the measure of restoration already granted. Perfect what You have begun. Grant fixed and peaceful hours for fellowship between father and son. Grant to the mother true repentance unto life and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, that she may glorify You by a life that craves holiness and walks in it. Keep the child in safety and innocence, and bring this whole household to know the peace that passes understanding through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
