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 you in prayer for this difficult and serious situation and we thank God for the former landlord's sister and her faith in Jesus. We pray that the Lord will strengthen her and continue to speak through her as a light in her family.

We ask that God will make her a bold and loving witness to her brother, that her positive influence would not be in vain, and that He would use her to call him to repentance and truth. Jesus said in Matthew 5:14 that we are the light of the world, and we pray she will shine that light faithfully. We also pray that nothing that needs to be revealed will remain hidden, for Luke 8:17 tells us that nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. We pray that the sister is not kept in the dark about the dangerous condition of the apartment her brother rented to you and about the sin that has surrounded this situation. We pray that the truth will be exposed, for Ephesians 5:11 calls us to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather to reprove them, and Ephesians 5:13 says that all things when they are reproved are revealed by the light.

We must also address the sexual relationship you mentioned. God calls us to holiness and His Word is clear that sexual intimacy outside of marriage between a man and a woman is sin. Hebrews 13:4 says marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, and 1 Corinthians 6:18 warns us to flee sexual immorality. We pray that the former landlord and this woman will be convicted of this sin, that they will turn from fornication and pursue repentance and purity, and that any ungodly soul tie would be broken in Jesus' name.

We are deeply concerned to hear about attempts on your life. This is evil and God hates violence and shedding of innocent blood. We pray for your protection, for Proverbs 18:10 tells us the name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to him and are safe, and Psalm 91:1-2 promises that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. We pray that no weapon that is formed against you will prosper as promised in Isaiah 54:17. We also pray that justice will be done in God's way. Romans 12:19 reminds us that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and Romans 13:4 shows us that God has given governing authorities to bear the sword against wrongdoing. If you have not already, we encourage you to seek protection and report these threats to the proper authorities as well as trusting God to be your defender.

We agree with you in praying that both the former landlord and his sister will put God first. Exodus 20:3 commands us to have no other gods before Him, and 1 John 5:21 warns us to keep ourselves from idols. We pray that our mighty and powerful God will expose and destroy every idol in their lives, whether it be money, property, relationships, or self, and that their hearts would be fully surrendered to Him. Proverbs 28:13 tells us that he who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy, and we pray for that confession and mercy for all involved.

We pray together now, Father in heaven, we lift up this sister in Christ to You and we thank You for her faith. We ask that You anoint her lips and give her wisdom, courage, and love to speak the truth to her brother without fear. Keep her from being deceived or kept in darkness, and reveal to her what she needs to know to be an effective witness and to stand for what is right. Lord, we lift up the former landlord to You, we ask that You convict his heart of any wrongdoing regarding this apartment and his immoral relationship, that You bring him to repentance, and that he would put You first above all else. Expose every idol in his life and demolish it by Your power. We pray also for the woman involved, that You would bring her to repentance and that any evil plans to harm Your child would be exposed and brought to nothing. Cover our friend with Your protection, surround them with Your angels, grant them peace, wisdom, and safety, and let Your justice and truth prevail. We ask all of this in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and our access to the Father, for John 14:6 tells us Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. Amen.

We have been holding your request before the Lord and we hear how burdened you have felt about this housing situation and the people involved.

We thank God with you for your former landlord's sister and her faith in Jesus. It is a gift when someone in a family walks closely with Him and can speak with grace and truth. We are praying that the Lord continues to strengthen her, give her wisdom for any conversations she has with her brother, and help her influence be steady and godly in the way she lives and seeks Him.

We are also praying for you, for your safety and peace and for clear next steps. When housing has felt unsafe and when you have felt threatened, it is understandable to feel on edge. Alongside prayer, it can help to share those specific safety concerns with a trusted pastor and with appropriate local help who can look at the situation directly and advise you on wise, practical ways to stay safe and to have the truth known in a calm and orderly way.

Father, we bring this sister to You and ask You to keep her close to You and guide her words. We bring her brother to You and ask that You draw his heart to put You first and to walk in what is right. Reveal what needs to be brought into the light in Your timing and Your way, and help every idol to lose its hold. Guard our friend who prayed, give wisdom, protection and peace, and lead him step by step. In Jesus' name, amen.

““But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has been brought before the Lord and we join you in seeking His face with urgency and with hope.

We pray for the sister of whom you speak, that faithful soul who knows Jesus. May the Lord continue to speak through her and make her voice clear and courageous. We ask that she not be kept in the dark, but that what has been hidden may be brought into the light, for there is nothing concealed from Him who sees all. As it is written, our sins are not hid from Him, and He reads every page of every life as an open book. We pray that the truth concerning the apartment which endangered your life, and concerning the immorality which has surrounded it, may be made known to her, that she may act in love and in truth, and that her influence may be used by God for good. We ask that the Lord would hide her and keep her as one of His hidden ones, preserved in safety, and not hidden from His watchful care.

We pray also for the former landlord and for the woman of whom you speak. We do not ask God to bless what He calls sin, for He is not indifferent to sin and His Spirit is grieved by it. Sexual union belongs within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and outside of that it is sin before a holy God. We pray that both souls may be brought to see their need, that they may put God first and turn from every evil way. The Lord Himself must seek the sinner, for the sinner does not first seek Him, and we pray that He who called to Adam, Where are you, may call to them and bring them to repentance. There is no rite and no resolve that can put away sin, but the precious blood of Jesus Christ, shed according to the eternal purpose of God, is able to cleanse from all sin those who repent and believe on Him alone for salvation. We pray that if they have not yet known Him, they may now be brought to true faith, and that if they profess Him, they may walk worthy of Him.

We join you in praying that our mighty God would expose and destroy every idol. Man's will often stands against God's will, and man's profit against God's honour, but the Lord has purposed to break down everything that sets itself up in opposition to Him. We ask that every idol, whether of gain or of lust or of self, may be cast down, and that Christ alone may be enthroned in every heart concerned in this matter. We pray that justice may be done concerning the wrong you have suffered, and that the Lord who hates oppression would bring to light any plot or violence intended against you. He will soon put away the rod when sin is put away, and He is able to protect those who trust in Him.

For you, dear soul who has suffered fear and danger, we pray that you may know what it is to be hidden by God with a view to safety, as Noah was hidden in the ark. Though you have been troubled, you are not hidden from the Lord. He sees the tear that lifts the eyelid and hears the cry of the broken heart. We pray that you may find full reconciliation through Jesus who has forever put away sin for His people, so that you may enjoy access and nearness to God as if you had never fallen, and that your sin and sorrow may be covered by His glorious grace. May the Lord keep you, comfort you, and give you peace, and may His will be done in all these things for His own glory. Amen.
