🕊️Thanks for Video Times, "Everything God does lasts forever," Ecc 3:14; Holy Spirit's Work to Turn Wife and Us All, Parents, Children, Friends, Family, Friends, Ministry and Prayer Partners "Attitude or Wisdom of the Just," Lk 1:17...

🕊️Thank You for Every Video Time, "Everything God does lasts forever," Ecc 3:14; Still asking more scheduled, Monitored Phone Visits (Video), the set hours so not rushing home, or receive a call while driving, am enabled to accomplish tasks, but would be treated as the priority God places on fatherhood, that proper honor is enjoined (church would intervene since an international law court would be disgraceful to God whose church ought to be sought for intervention, "Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between church members? Instead, one goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers! I say this to your shame," 1 Corinthians 6:5-6. May the pastors that will give account before God for her soul, "For they keep watch over your souls as those who will have to give an account for their stewardship— that they may do this with joy, not groaning; for this would be unprofitable for you," Heb 13:17, since God only wants joyful service and cheerful work, giving and worship.

We ask that she'd be concerned out of love for the child, not the money, nor have any earthly or demonic twig to the nose trying to spite me, but actually see it is God she is spiteful towards, who gives His Commands so we know right from wrong... Holy Spirit's Work to Turn her to the "Attitude or Wisdom of the Just or righteous," Lk 1:17... Grant "the wisdom from above which is pure, peaceable, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere," James 3:17. 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.
 
We join you in thanking our Father for what He has already done, for everything God does lasts forever Ecc 3:14 and for the restoration of video time with your young son in Asia after more than four months of silence. That is no small mercy and we rejoice with you that some peace has returned and that there has been agreement in small yet important matters. We also join you in asking for more, for scheduled and monitored phone and video visits at set hours, so you are not rushing home or forced to receive a call while driving, but are enabled to accomplish the tasks God has given you while fatherhood is treated as the priority God places on it. The Scripture says fathers are to bring children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord Eph 6:4 and that proper honor is to be enjoined to that calling.

We pray with you for the Holy Spirit's work to turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the just Lk 1:17 in your wife and in all of you, parents, children, family, friends, ministry and prayer partners. We ask for the wisdom from above which is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy James 3:17 to govern every conversation and decision. We pray that any concern would flow out of love for the child and not out of love for money, and that any earthly or demonic provocation to spite you would be exposed, that she would see that to resist God's commands is to be spiteful toward God Himself who gives His commands so we know right from wrong. We lovingly yet firmly rebuke the use of social media and dating sites while you are still married, for you are one flesh and marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman before God. To seek another while still married is adultery, and the Scripture warns that adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God 1 Cor 6:9, that the deeds of the flesh are evident Gal 5:19, that outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral Rev 22:15, and that whatever a man sows, that he will also reap, for he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption Gal 6:7. We must call this what it is and pray for grace and wisdom to moderate all such influences for the sake of eternal life, overall safety, and the prevention of stumbling blocks for your son. We pray for a radical return to first love, to Jesus Christ Rev 3:19, and we thank God that you have asked in Jesus' name, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father John 14:6.

We also hear your heart regarding the courts and the church. You are right that it is a shame when brothers go to law before unbelievers when the church should be sought for wisdom and arbitration 1 Cor 6:5. We pray that the pastors who keep watch over souls as those who will give account Heb 13:17 would shepherd with joy and not with groaning, and that they would be willing to intervene with truth and love rather than leaving this to an international court which would be disgraceful to the testimony of Christ. May they help facilitate calls so they go more smoothly, as it is written that a virtuous wife does her husband good and not harm all the days of her life Prov 31:12.

We now pray together. Father, we thank You for ending the long silence and for granting peace and video time with this precious boy. We ask You to extend that peace through wisdom Eccl 7:18 and to grant more details to be agreed upon, for You have called us to peace 1 Cor 7:15. Let Your will, Your words and Your love be first and evident in every conversation with this youngster, help form in him a gracious and compassionate view of who You are, that You are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness Ex 34:6, so he may learn to love You with all his heart Mark 12:30 and to love others Mark 12:31, and may he obtain the wisdom of the Scriptures which are able to make him wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus 2 Tim 3:15. Help father and son learn each other's languages, help them both hold their tongues, help them hold nothing against each other but entrust each other into Your hands. We ask that the world be overruled, the flesh subdued and the devil restrained. We ask that You hedge her way with thorns so she cannot pursue lovers Hos 2:6, that You convict her through Your Spirit John 16:8, that You grant her repentance 2 Pet 3:9, that she would come to her senses as the prodigal did and say I have sinned against heaven and before you Lk 15:18, that she would repent and turn again so her sins may be blotted out Acts 3:19 and that she would stop sinning so that nothing worse happens to her John 5:14. We loose discernment Phil 1:9 that deceptions would be seen through and sin confronted in love. Use her pastors, friends, believers, family, even dreams and kindnesses and Your pursuit as the Shepherd who leaves the ninety nine to seek the one lost sheep Lk 15:4 to lead her from death to life James 5:19. Keep this boy and both of them from temptation and deliver them from evil Matt 6:13, keep them from evil people 2 Tim 3:13 and from the evil one John 17:15, guard them from deception Matt 24:4, from the wicked spirits against whom we wrestle Eph 6:12, from fear and lies Zeph 3:13, and keep them from all wrongdoing 2 Cor 13:7. We trust You to do this lasting work and we ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
 
We are grateful with you for those video times with your son after more than four months of silence. That long wait makes each call feel like a gift, and we understand why you want to protect that time and see it grow into something steady and peaceful for him.

Wanting set, monitored hours that keep you from rushing home or taking a call while driving is a wise and caring request. A predictable rhythm helps a young child feel safe, lets you both be fully present, and honors the responsibility you carry as a father. We also hear your heart to keep conversations centered on your son, to learn each other's language, and to show him a gracious and compassionate view of God.

One practical step that may help is to ask a pastor or elder respected by both of you to help mediate a simple written plan for calls. A calm third person can help you both talk through time zones, length, how to handle a missed call, and how to keep the focus on your son's needs. That kind of church help often brings more peace than going through courts, and when questions cross countries it can be wise to get clear legal guidance alongside pastoral care.

We are carrying you, your son, and his mother before the Lord.

Father, thank You for restoring these visits and for the small agreements already reached. Give this father wisdom, patience and protection as he loves his son, keep this boy safe from confusion and harm, and work in each heart to bring mercy, clarity and peace. Guide every conversation and help this family walk in Your will. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect, deliver, heal, save (those not saved) and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. I ask this for them, us and all in need. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
 
We give thanks with you to God who has heard prayer and broken a silence of more than four months and granted peace and restored time by video with your son. Everything God does lasts forever, and we praise Him for this mercy and for the small yet important matters in which agreement has been found. We join you in asking that what He has begun He will establish, and that more details may be ordered in wisdom and peace, for God has called us to peace.

We pray that these appointed and monitored visits may be kept in their set hours, that you may not be rushed nor endangered, and that fatherhood may be honored as God honors it. The Lord has set fathers to bring up children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and children are not to be forgotten in the press of other duties. We ask that those who watch over souls may do so with joy and with faithful care, and that where there is dispute among brethren, wisdom may be found within the household of faith to judge rightly, rather than that the name of Christ should be reproached before unbelievers.

We pray for the mother of your child, that the Holy Spirit would do His own work to turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the just. True repentance is not a carnal sorrow wrought by judgment or by fear alone, but a holy and heavenly work wrought in the renewed heart by the Spirit of God, which gives glory to God. It makes a rainbow with tears of grief for sin and glances of hope at the love of Christ and His finished work. It leads a sinner not away from the Father as a child who hides, but into the Father's bosom to sob out grief for having offended so loving a Father who is ready to forgive. Such repentance is the gift of God preached in the name of Jesus, and it is inseparable from faith in Him who alone justifies. It yields works meet for repentance, it is practical and it lasts, for repentance lives as long as faith lives.

Therefore we do not ask God to bless any path that departs from His holy ordinance. Marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and all that belongs to it is to be kept within that covenant. To pursue others while yet married, to give place to adultery or to live as though the vow were nothing, is to walk in the deeds of the flesh which cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and of which it is written, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. We pray instead that every such way may be hedged with thorns, not out of spite but out of mercy, that she may not find her lovers nor prosper in sin, but may come to herself as the prodigal did, and say I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and return in godly sorrow which needs not to be repented of. We ask for that wisdom which is from above, which is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy, that love for the child may be unfeigned and that no earthly or spiteful motive may rule, but that God may be feared and His commands honored as the measure of right and wrong.

We pray for your son, that the will and words and love of God may be first in your conversation with him, that he may see in you a gracious and compassionate view of God who abounds in steadfast love, and may learn to love God with all his heart and his neighbor as himself. May he be kept from evil and from the evil one, from temptation and from the influence of wicked spirits, from deception and from every stumbling block, and may he be brought up in righteousness through the Holy Scriptures which are able to make him wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. We ask that you both may be helped to hold your tongues, to hold nothing against each other, and to entrust one another into the hands of God, that the world may be overruled, the flesh subdued, and the devil restrained. We pray that you may learn each other's language in patience, and that your fellowship together may be in the Father and in His Son Jesus Christ, which is the true source of peace.

That peace which you seek is not found in mere circumstances but in the blood of Jesus which whispers peace within. He will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is stayed on Him, because he trusts in Him. Though duties press and loved ones are far away, in Jesus keeping we are safe and they are safe. Bear your sorrow with Him and you shall find rest in doing His will.

We ask the Lord to raise up pastors and friends and family and fellow believers, and by whatever means He pleases, dreams or kindness or the faithful pursuit of the one lost sheep, to lead from death to life, to give discernment to see through deceptions and to confront sin in love, that there may be repentance unto life. We pray that conviction of sin, of righteousness and of judgment may come by the Spirit, and that where sin has been, it may be forsaken, lest a worse thing befall.

May the Lord grant you steadiness to continue in prayer, to seek first His kingdom, and to walk in faith and repentance together, building up what repentance pulls down and purging what faith must fill with living works. We commend you and your son and his mother to the mercy of God in Christ, praying that you may freely receive love and freely pour out love, to the glory of Him who left His Father to make His people one with Himself. Amen.
