The former landlord’s Christian sister

[Kensem]

Please pray for the former landlord's sister, who has faith in Jesus. Pray that God continues to speak through her, and that her positive influence will change the former landlord. Pray that she is not kept in the dark about the life-threatening apartment that her brother rented to me, and about the evil, immoral woman who had a sexual relationship with the former landlord and most likely hired people to try to kill me.

Please also pray that they both put God first and that our Mighty and Powerful God exposes and destroys every idol

We join with you in bringing this heavy burden before the Lord and we thank God for the former landlord's sister and her faith in Jesus. We pray that the Lord will strengthen her, give her boldness and wisdom, and continue to speak through her as a light in her family. We ask that her godly influence would not be in vain but would be used by God to draw her brother toward repentance and truth.

We agree with you in praying that darkness would be exposed and that nothing would remain hidden. For it is written, For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light Luke 8:17 and Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them Ephesians 5:11. We pray that the sister would not be kept in the dark about the true condition of the apartment that was rented to you and the danger you faced there, and about the serious allegations concerning the immoral conduct and the attempts on your life. We ask our Mighty and Powerful God to bring all truth into the light in His perfect timing and way, to protect you from all harm, and to let justice be done according to His righteousness. We also pray for your protection and peace, for He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1 and The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles Psalm 34:17.

We must also address before the Lord what you have shared about the sexual relationship between the former landlord and this woman. According to scripture, sexual intimacy outside of marriage between a man and a woman is fornication and if either party is married to another it is adultery, and God calls His people to flee from it. Flee sexual immorality 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. Marriage is to be honored as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, and any courtship should be with the goal of godly marriage to another believer in Christ. We pray that both the former landlord and this woman would be convicted of this sin, that they would turn from it, and that they would pursue holiness and purity before God.

We also join you in praying that they would both put God first and that every idol would be exposed and destroyed. God has commanded, You shall have no other gods before me Exodus 20:3 and we are told, But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33. Idols of money, power, control, lust, or self can take the place of God in the heart, and we pray that the Lord in His mercy would tear those idols down, that they would see their need for Jesus Christ and repent and believe.

We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne. We lift up this sister in Christ and ask that You anoint her words, give her discernment and courage, and let her be a vessel of Your truth and love to her brother. We ask that You would not allow deception to continue, but that You would reveal the truth about this apartment and about all evil that has been done, and that You would protect our dear one who has suffered and felt threatened. Cover them with Your hand, bring peace to their heart, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. We pray for the former landlord, that You would soften his heart, open his eyes to his sin, including sexual immorality and any participation in harm or deceit, and lead him to repentance and salvation in Jesus. We pray also for this woman, that You would bring her to conviction and repentance as well. Lord, expose and destroy every idol in their lives and in all of our lives, and help each of us to put You first in all things. We leave vengeance to You, for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19, and we trust Your perfect justice and mercy. Let Your will be done and let Your name be glorified. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

We encourage you to continue to trust the Lord, to remain in prayer and in the Word, and to walk in wisdom. Continue to pray for this family, even for those who have done evil, that they might be saved, while also trusting God to be your defender and refuge. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you 1 Peter 5:7.

We hear how heavy and frightening this housing situation has felt for you, and how much you want truth to come to light. It means a lot that you noticed the sister's faith and her steady influence, and that you are asking God to keep using her for good in her brother's life.

We join you in praying that God would keep strengthening her walk and give her wisdom and courage to speak what is right and loving. We also pray for clarity and protection for you, and that whatever is unsafe or hidden would be brought into the light in God's way and timing. We understand you have deep concerns about what happened in that apartment and about others involved, and we are asking God to guard your safety and peace and to guide any next steps with wise, trusted help around you.

If you are still dealing with unsafe housing or ongoing fear, it can help to share the details with a trusted pastor or a reliable local advocate who can walk with you in person alongside prayer.

Father, we lift this sister to You and thank You for her faith. Keep speaking to her and through her, and give her discernment. We lift her brother to You as well, that You would draw them both to put You first above all else. We ask for Your protection over our friend, for truth to be made clear, and for Your peace to guard their heart. Lead them to wise support and help them rest in Your care. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We have heard your burden and we bring it before the throne of grace, asking the Lord to hear and to act according to His perfect will and righteousness.

We pray for the sister of your former landlord who knows the Lord Jesus. We thank God for any faith found in her and we ask that the Lord would continue to speak through her, that she may walk in the fear of God which eschews evil, and that her words and life may be a faithful witness. We pray that she would not be kept in darkness concerning the matters you have raised, but that truth would be brought into the light, for whatsoever is hidden shall be made manifest. We ask that God would give her wisdom and courage to speak what is right and to deny everything that is wrong.

We pray also for your former landlord. We do not ask God to bless what is contrary to His holy Word, but we pray that God would bring conviction of sin and lead him to repentance and to salvation through Jesus Christ alone. Where there has been sexual immorality outside the covenant of marriage, which God has ordained as the lifelong union of one man and one woman, we pray that the Lord would expose that sin, that He would grant sorrow after a godly sort and a turning from it. We pray that every attempt to conceal wrongdoing, and every act of violence or threat against your life, would be exposed and brought to justice, and that the Lord who lifts the poor and casts down the mighty would be your refuge and protection. We ask the Lord to preserve you and to let no weapon formed against you prosper, and to bring to nothing any evil counsel.

We join you in praying that both this man and his sister would seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, putting God first above all other loyalties and desires. We pray in the spirit of that word, What have I to do any more with idols, that the Lord would in His sovereignty abolish every idol in their hearts, whether it be selfishness, lust, money, or power, and that their whole nature might become the temple of the living God. We ask that God would destroy every false trust and cause them to rest upon His bare promise and His Word alone.

We pray that the Lord who is mighty and powerful would shine His light into every dark place concerning that apartment and all that was done there, that what is dangerous and unjust would be revealed, and that righteousness would prevail. May the fear of the Lord be the foundation in all these things, and may all involved be brought to say from the heart that they will serve the Lord.

We commit you also to the keeping of the Lord, that you may continue to wrestle in prayer and not be denied, waiting only upon God, whose expectation is from Him. May He give you peace in the time of tempest and keep you under the shadow of His wings, through Jesus Christ our only hope and Saviour. Amen.
