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

 

[Articles]

We join you in prayer concerning this very serious and painful situation and we thank God that there is a sister in Christ who knows Jesus and can be a light in this darkness.

We praise God that this sister has faith in Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved, as it is written John 14:6 and Acts 4:12. We pray that the Lord will strengthen her faith and make her bold to speak the truth in love. We ask that God continues to speak through her and that her godly influence would be used to convict her brother of sin and lead him toward repentance. We pray for a new heart for him, for God says in Ezekiel 36:26 that He will give a new heart and put a new spirit within us.

We agree with you in praying that the truth will not remain hidden. What is done in darkness, God will bring to light, for Luke 8:17 says that nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light, and Ephesians 5:11 tells us to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. We pray that this sister is not kept in the dark about the life-threatening condition of the apartment her brother rented to you, and about the serious allegations concerning the woman involved and the attempts on your life. We pray that our Mighty and Powerful God exposes every hidden thing and brings justice according to His perfect will. We also pray for your protection and peace, for Psalm 91:1-2 reminds us that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, and Romans 12:19 reminds us that vengeance belongs to the Lord and He will repay, so we entrust justice to Him while also encouraging you to seek lawful help and protection from the proper authorities if your life has been threatened.

We must also address what you have shared about the sexual relationship between the former landlord and this woman. God calls us to holiness and to flee from sexual immorality. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says flee sexual immorality, and Hebrews 13:4 says let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. Sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman, whether fornication or adultery, is sin before God and it must be repented of. We pray that both the former landlord and this woman will be convicted of this sin, turn from it, and pursue purity and godliness, seeking marriage as God designed it if they desire a relationship, rather than immorality. We pray they will put God first in all things, for Matthew 6:33 says seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

We also join you in praying that every idol in their lives will be exposed and destroyed. Exodus 20:3 says you shall have no other gods before me, and 1 John 5:21 urges us to keep ourselves from idols. Whether the idol is money, power, lust, control, or any other thing that takes God’s rightful place, we pray that God will tear it down and that they will worship Him alone.

Let us pray together.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You together. We lift up this sister who loves You and ask that You anoint her lips with truth and courage, that she would speak with wisdom and grace and not be silenced or deceived. Reveal to her the truth about the dangerous apartment and about the sin and the evil that has been done, so she can intercede and be a witness for righteousness. We lift up her brother, the former landlord, and this woman, and we ask that You convict them deeply of sin, bring them to repentance, and save them if they do not know You. Turn them from sexual immorality and from any idolatry, and help them to put You first above all else. Destroy every idol that has taken Your place in their hearts. Lord, protect the one who was harmed and who fears for his life. Cover him with Your hand, bring healing from trauma, and let Your justice and truth prevail. Expose every evil deed and let Your light shine in this darkness. We ask all this in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior. Amen.

We have been carrying your burden before the Lord. It is understandable to feel unsettled after a difficult housing experience and to long for truth to come into the light, especially when you care about the people involved.

We join you in praying for the former landlord's sister. We thank God for her faith and pray He continues to give her wisdom and courage to speak with grace and clarity. We also pray for her brother, that both of them would seek God first and that anything taking His place would be gently revealed and released.

We hear how unsafe you have felt and how heavy these memories remain. We are praying for your protection and peace, and that God would make what is true clear in His timing and in His way. In seasons like this it helps not to carry it alone. If you have a pastor or a trusted mature believer nearby, staying connected with them can bring steadiness and wise counsel. If you ever feel in immediate danger, please reach out right away to people you trust and to local help in your area.

Father, we lift this sister to You and ask You to strengthen her walk with You and use her influence for good. We lift our friend to You for safety, calm and clear next steps, and we ask that You be first in each heart and that Your peace would guard them. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We have brought your burden before the Lord with you, and we join our hearts in prayer for His righteous and merciful hand to be seen in these things.

We pray for this sister who has faith in Jesus Christ, that the Lord who alone can deliver from the power of darkness would continue to speak through her and make her a faithful witness. May He give her wisdom, courage and clarity to speak the truth in love, and may her life bear such testimony to the grace of God that it commends Christ to her brother. We ask that she would not be kept in darkness concerning these matters, but that what has been hidden would be brought into the light, for the Lord reveals what is done in secret and He will not suffer deceit to stand.

We pray for the former landlord, that God would be gracious unto him and deliver him from going down to the pit. He is bound by sin as well as by justice, and only the Lord can command deliverance. We pray that God, who has found a ransom in the precious blood of His Son, would open his eyes and turn him from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that he may receive forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ alone. For salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, and there is no other name by which we must be saved. We do not ask God to bless what is contrary to His holy will, for marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman and all intimacy outside of it is sin before Him. We pray rather that where there has been sexual immorality, the Lord would bring deep conviction, true repentance and a turning to purity, that every idol would be exposed and destroyed. From the time when Satan fell, God's purpose has been to break down everything which sets itself up in opposition to Him, and He will dry up the green tree and cast down the mighty from their seats while He lifts the poor from the dunghill. We pray that every idol of lust, of gain, of self will and of unrighteous dealing would be broken in pieces by His right hand, and that both brother and sister would put God first and seek His kingdom above all.

We pray also for you who have suffered in this life threatening dwelling and under the fear of violence. Though affliction may come distinctly from man as the result of malice, yet it remains within the fence of omnipotent overruling, and the Lord chastens and keeps His own. We ask that He who has said, Deliver him from going down to the pit, would be your shield and defender, that He would preserve your life, frustrate every evil design against you, and bring all wicked schemes to confusion. May He grant protection to the persecuted and provide an escape from peril, and may He grant to those who have done evil no peace until they repent.

We pray that our Mighty and Powerful God would expose what is evil, destroy every idol, and establish His truth and righteousness in this house. May Christ who alone can loosen the captive and enrich those He sets free be your help, for your help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. We ask that you would be kept in the sunlight of Divine love, that you would live and declare the works of the Lord, and that you would know the comfort of Him who has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.
