[Nochaeld]

Video Time w/Descendent, Holy Spirit Convicts, Jn 16:18, Matrimonial Repents 2 Pet 3:9 Godly Sorrow —> Repentance unto Life w/o Regret 2 Cor 7:10... Father, thank you that as much in us is able, we forgive her for keeping my son from videoing with me then (months of his life I barely got to see him during that time -- I'll never get that back -- but the real pain is it's been ongoing -- only 8 minutes in 3+ months -- Father I want time with my young descendent...

Another cross to bear is other "passive aggressiveness," "silence" and "pictures" sent to others and taken with others, "suggestive online profiles"-- We had trained counsellors who wanted us to come aside and give us guidance and accountability… "But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel and purpose of God, not being baptized by John themselves," Luke 7:30.

Please Lord, SAVE HER so she can RAISE OUR SON with RESPECT for YOU, Eph 6:4, Your WAYS and for The Marriage Covenant (Christ and The Church, Eph 5:32-33), and BIBLICAL ORDER, 1 Cor 11:3, 1 Pet 3:1-7; Gen 2:18… "Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done," Luke 22:42.

IN UNITY We submit to YOU as the CHURCH that You have BUILT that the GATES of HELL CANNOT WITHSTAND, Matt 16:16-17, and RESIST the DEVIL, James 4:7… FLEE from her, me, him, us!!! -- In JESUS’ NAME…

Take away “false security” of eternal life — Allow it to become REAL, EVERLASTING CHANGE, Repentance unto life, saving grace, and renewing of the mind, proving what the will of God really is, Rom 12:2-3. Let her change, humble her, let things crash down if need be all around her as the earthquakes and typhoons shook her up back in October and November… But we learn from Elijah sometimes "Power Encounters" are short lived, and RELATIONSHIP with the "Still, small voice" of the Holy Spirit that gave him grace to obey the LORD and come out of the cave to speak with God, see 1 Kings 19:1-19, especially 1 Kings 19:11-12, 13 for the "gentle blowing of the still, small voice" eliciting Elijah to stop running and obey the Lord...

And let me continue to pray fervently and fast diligently — BOTH show tough love and speak tenderly (to her heart) -- Hos 2:14 -- she will "perish" without repentance, but that's not YOUR will, LORD, and DEFINITELY not mine — “God is not slow toward us, but patient, not willing any should PERISH, but all come to REPENTANCE — 2 Peter 3:9 (metanoia — intense change of mind about sin — independence, lying, stealing, cheating are NOT "cool")... Also, statistically will have a better chance of being saved with having his real Dad raise him in the training and instruction of the Lord, Eph 6:4. It should be that “from infancy he knows the Holy Scriptures which are able to give us the wisdom needed for salvation, since all Scripture is inspired by God, 2 Tim 3:15-16. Thank You for hearing this prayer that’s in accordance with Your Will, 1 Jn 5:14-15, for it’s Your desire All are saved and come to the knowledge of The Truth, 1 Tim 2:4 — and for Your glory and a testimony of Your mercy we agree in Jesus’ Name…

We hear the deep pain in your heart as you long for time with your son and grieve over the brokenness in your marriage. The separation, the passive-aggressive behaviors, and the lack of respect for the marriage covenant are heavy burdens to bear. We stand with you in prayer, lifting these concerns before the Lord, who sees every tear and hears every cry.

First, we must address the foundation of our prayers, access to God comes only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If your wife does not know Jesus as her Lord and Savior, her first need is repentance and faith in Him. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), and "the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), leading her to godly sorrow that produces repentance without regret (2 Corinthians 7:10).

The marriage covenant is sacred, designed by God to reflect Christ’s relationship with the Church (Ephesians 5:32-33). The behaviors you describe, withholding time with your son, suggestive online activity, and rejecting godly counsel, are not aligned with biblical submission, respect, or love. Scripture calls wives to submit to their husbands as to the Lord (Ephesians 5:22) and to respect them (1 Peter 3:1-2). Husbands, in turn, are called to love their wives sacrificially (Ephesians 5:25). When one partner resists accountability and godly counsel, it grieves the Holy Spirit and undermines the marriage. We rebuke the spirit of rebellion and deception in Jesus’ name, praying for a breaking of pride and a softening of her heart.

We also lift up your son, who is caught in the middle of this conflict. Fathers are called to raise their children in the training and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). The lack of access to him is not only painful for you but detrimental to his spiritual and emotional well-being. We pray that God would open doors for you to have meaningful time with your son, teaching him the Scriptures "from infancy" (2 Timothy 3:15) so he may grow in wisdom and salvation. Statistically and spiritually, children thrive when raised by godly fathers, and we trust God to restore what has been broken.

The passive-aggressiveness and silence you describe are tools of the enemy to sow discord and division. We resist the devil, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and we declare that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church (Matthew 16:18). We pray for a spirit of humility and repentance to fall upon your wife, that she would turn from these behaviors and seek reconciliation. If tough love is required, if God must allow circumstances to "crash down" around her to bring her to repentance, we trust His sovereignty and mercy. As 2 Peter 3:9 reminds us, God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

We also encourage you to examine your own heart. While your pain is valid, we must guard against bitterness, which can take root and defile many (Hebrews 12:15). Forgiveness does not mean excusing sin, but it does mean releasing the offender to God and trusting Him to judge justly (Romans 12:19). We pray that you would continue to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), balancing firmness with tenderness, as Hosea 2:14 describes God’s pursuit of wayward Israel.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage and family before Your throne. Lord, we ask that You would save this wife and draw her to repentance. Convict her of sin through the Holy Spirit, breaking the hardness of her heart and leading her to godly sorrow. We rebuke the spirit of rebellion, deception, and division in Jesus’ name, and we pray for a restoration of biblical order in this home.

Father, we ask for Your protection over this son. Guard his heart and mind, and grant his father the opportunity to raise him in Your ways. Open doors for time together, and let this child grow in the knowledge of Your Word and the wisdom that leads to salvation.

Lord, we also pray for this husband. Strengthen him to walk in forgiveness, wisdom, and love. Help him to balance truth with grace, standing firm in Your Word while extending mercy. Protect him from bitterness and give him patience as he waits on Your timing.

We declare that the gates of hell will not prevail against Your Church, and we resist the enemy’s schemes in this family. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in their lives. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.

We sit with you in that ache of missing months of your son’s life, and we grieve the ongoing trickle of minutes over long stretches. That kind of separation lands heavily on a father’s heart, and we don’t minimize it.

We also hear you choosing to forgive, not because the hurt is small, but because you’re clinging to Christ. Sometimes forgiveness has to be renewed daily when the wound stays open; that doesn’t make your earlier decision false, it just means you’re walking out the emotional work that takes time. While you keep praying and fasting, we’d gently encourage you not to carry this alone. Is there a pastor, elder, or a few steady brothers in your church who can walk alongside you? Having people who will pray with you and help you stay clear-headed in the practical decisions can steady your soul more than you might expect.

One thing that sometimes helps in estranged co-parenting is to seek wise mediation, not necessarily for reconciliation of the marriage, but for the child’s well-being and your access to him. The trained counselors you mentioned may still be a resource if you reach out, even if she declined before. It may open a door to address the communication and visitation boundaries without placing unrealistic hopes on her cooperation.

Above all, remember that God sees your son when you cannot. He can work in that little heart even through the fragments of time you get, and no one can snatch him from the Father’s hand. Keep asking for opportunities to speak truth and grace into his life, and trust God to multiply what feels so meager.

We pray:
Father, we lift up this dad who longs for his son. Comfort him in the missing moments and give him steady hope. Break down whatever barriers keep mother and child from healthy connection, and soften her heart toward what is good and true. Grant this father wisdom for each step, protect his son, and use every minute they share for eternal good. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer breathes a spirit that I long to see in every broken heart, a jealousy for the honour of God, a yearning for the soul of one so dear, and a cry for the salvation of a little child. You have tasted the bitterness of sin’s separation, yet you cling to the hope that God is not willing that any should perish. This is a mercy, for many in your place would have let go of the divine promise and nursed a wicked root of bitterness. The Lord keep you from that snare.

Yet let me press upon your heart this solemn truth: repentance is the gift of the Most High, a grace which no human agony can manufacture. The text from Acts speaks plain: it is not mere sorrow, not the regret of a frightened rebel, but “repentance unto life”, that which the Holy Ghost works in the renewed heart. Judgment may wring a cry from the conscience, as a thunderstorm makes a coward tremble, but that repentance is of the flesh, and is no better than the vomit of a dog. You plead for God to save this woman; then plead with God that He would give her that godly sorrow which needeth not to be repented of. A repentance that lies in words only, that makes a covenant and breaks it, that weeps for consequences but not for sin itself, is a black lie before the throne of Heaven. Beware, I say, of that false peace which many hug till it drags them down to the second death.

But oh, hear the music of the Father’s love! You remember the prodigal, while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and ran. The eyes of mercy are quicker than the eyes of repentance. God sees a sinner long before the sinner sees Him. The father fell on his neck and kissed him, and there was forgiveness before the confession was half spoken. No matter how deep the stain, the kiss of sonship awaits the returning one. Therefore, go on forgiving, even as you have been forgiven. You say you forgive as much as in you is able; then pray that the Lord enlarge your heart, for the measure of our forgiveness toward others is often the measure of our own enjoyment of the Father’s kiss. You have lost precious months with your boy; that is a deep wound. But what shall be said of the years which sin has stolen? Look to Him who restoreth the years that the locust hath eaten, and leave thy complaint at His feet. The Prince of Life is able to revive hope in the dust and turn the heart of stone into a heart of flesh.

Do not despair though you see little change. The father of the prodigal did not sit at the window fretting; he watched and was found ready. Continue in prayer, and fast, for these are the sinews of spiritual warfare. Yet remember that salvation is of the Lord. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son hath not life. You cannot create it, nor can the counsellors you mention; but the Father and the Son have fellowship with all who come, and the Spirit bloweth where He listeth. Cry mightily to Him who giveth repentance unto Israel. Lay hold of the promise that all the Father hath chosen shall come to Christ, and not one shall be cast out. And as for your son, commit him to the God who saith, “Train up a child in the way he should go,” knowing that the Holy Scriptures are able to make him wise unto salvation from his earliest breath.

Suffer the word of exhortation: let not your prayers be mingled with a dictating spirit. It is well to pray, “Thy will be done,” but see that your heart bows to it. The Lord may use earthquakes and typhoons, but more often He speaks in the still, small voice. Do not demand a sign; trust the hidden work of grace. And be on your guard lest your zeal for righteousness become a harsh cudgel. Speak tenderly, as Hosea speaks, for the broken-hearted. The Lord Jesus never quenched the smoking flax, and you must not. Yet in all this, do not shrink from the holy standard. The marriage covenant is a type of Christ and His Church; it is not to be trifled with. To call sin anything but sin is to betray the gospel. Hold fast to the truth, but hold it in love, as one who has himself been plucked from the miry clay.

Now let this word sink into your soul: your life is but a vapour, a swift arrow, a fading flower. The days you have lost may remind you that the night cometh when no man can work. Let every moment that remains be spent in holy urgency, yet in deep dependence. God is patient, but the day of His patience will end. For yourself, be sure that you have received that life which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Have you bowed before Him, saying, “I receive You as Christ Jesus the Lord”? Then walk in Him, rooted and built up, having fellowship with the Father and with His Son. In that secret place you will find strength to love the unlovely, to hope against hope, and to bless the hand that wields the rod.

May the blessed Giver of all repentance unto salvation preserve you from the false repentances that lead to death, and grant you and your household that repentance which is unto life eternal. And when your heart faints, look again to the Prince of Life whom God raised from the dead, and remember that because He lives, all the promises are yea and amen in Him. To Him, with the Father and the eternal Spirit, be glory for ever.

[Chrysostom]

The pain of stolen time with your child cuts deep, but examine that sorrow. The sorrow of the world over earthly loss works death, breeding bitterness and despair. You mourn months you will never regain, yet consider if that grief is being transformed. Godly sorrow, however, is of a wholly different nature. It possesses two great advantages: it is not condemned for the thing grieved, and its end is salvation. Let your grief over this fractured family be the kind that worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret. For those who sorrow after a worldly fashion condemn themselves and gain nothing but the token of harm. Do not let your affliction remain in that place of death. Let it drive you not into resentment but into the very heart of repentance for any part you bear, and into fervent intercession for her soul.

Her silence, the suggestive profiles, the refusal of godly counsel, these are not merely wounds against you. They declare she has rejected the purpose of God for her own life, as the Pharisees rejected John's baptism. This is serious indeed, and the not rebuking of sin brings damage to all. Yet what is your part? You are commanded to both show tough love and speak tenderly. That tender speaking is the word that woos a straying heart, as the Lord allured Israel into the wilderness to speak comfort to her. But tough love will not compromise truth. That is no contradiction. Do not place yourself in a situation where you think you have no need of the saints' prayers. You cry out in unity, and rightly so, for even Paul did not say he had no need of prayer. He who thinks himself sufficient is humbled. So persist in your fasting and your vigils, but know that after prayer thus intense, there is need of much almsgiving. This is the essential herb in the medicine of repentance. As water quenches a flaming fire, so almsgiving does away with great sins. Let your prayers be married to tangible mercy, pouring out charity for the healing of her soul as well as for the poor, proving that your own heart is not consumed by anger but enlarged by love.

See that you do not merely long for earthquakes to shake her, for such power encounters often prove short-lived, as with Elijah on the mountain. The Lord was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire, but in the still, small voice that drew the prophet from his cave to obedience. Pray earnestly for that voice to pierce her heart, bringing not just terror but the intense change of mind that is true repentance. This sorrow leads not to death but to life from the dead. Consider the grain of wheat: it is cut off, it dies, and then it bears fruit and is born over again. This is the discourse of creation, proclaiming resurrection. So pray that whatever must crumble around her will indeed fall, and that in that fall she will die to her independence and lying, and be born again. In this, the earth becomes a school of philosophy and a nursery of the soul. For it is not God's will that any should perish. Be not slow in hope, even as He is not slow in promise. Commend her to the great Physician, using the medicines of prayer, fasting, alms, and the unshaken confession of the truth, and leave the outcome to Him who desires all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
