[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 — and LOVE HER 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 pour out your concerns for your son, your marriage, and the spiritual well-being of your wife. Your longing for time with your child and your desire to see godly change in your home is both understandable and honorable. The Word of God reminds us, "Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4 WEB). Your love for your son and your commitment to raising him in the ways of the Lord is a reflection of God’s heart for fathers.

Yet we must also address the brokenness in your marriage with truth and love. The patterns you describe, passive aggression, silence, suggestive behavior, and resistance to godly counsel, are not aligned with the covenant of marriage as God designed it. Marriage is a sacred union, a living picture of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:32-33 WEB), and it requires mutual submission, respect, and faithfulness. The Scripture is clear: "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it" (Ephesians 5:22, 25 WEB). When one partner resists accountability, rejects counsel, or engages in behavior that dishonors the marriage, it grieves the Holy Spirit and fractures the unity God intends.

We must also address the seriousness of sin and the necessity of repentance. The behaviors you’ve described, whether deception, emotional manipulation, or ungodly influences, are not merely "crosses to bear" but sin that requires conviction and turning away. The Lord is patient, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9 WEB). Yet repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow; it is a complete change of mind and direction, a turning away from sin and toward God. "For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death" (2 Corinthians 7:10 WEB). We pray that your wife would experience this godly sorrow, not as condemnation, but as the loving hand of the Father drawing her back to Himself.

You are right to cling to the promise that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church (Matthew 16:18 WEB), and that when we resist the devil, he must flee (James 4:7 WEB). But we must also remember that spiritual warfare is not fought with bitterness, resentment, or a heart that seeks vengeance. Jesus taught us to love our enemies, to pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44 WEB), and to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13 WEB). This does not mean ignoring sin or enabling ungodliness, but it does mean extending grace while standing firm on truth. Your desire to speak tenderly to her heart, as Hosea was called to do (Hosea 2:14 WEB), is a reflection of Christ’s love, even when it is not reciprocated.

We also must address the foundational issue of salvation. You pray for your wife’s salvation, and rightly so, for "there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 WEB). True repentance and faith in Jesus Christ are the only means by which anyone can be saved. If your wife has not surrendered her life to Christ, no amount of external change will bring lasting transformation. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8 WEB), and that she would turn to Jesus, not just for the sake of your marriage or your son, but for her own soul.

For your son, we lift him up before the Lord. The Scripture says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6 WEB). You are right to desire that he be raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4 WEB), and that from infancy he would know the Holy Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:15 WEB). Even in the midst of this trial, God can use your faithfulness to draw your son to Himself. We pray that the Lord would grant you wisdom, patience, and strength to be the father your son needs, even as you navigate these challenges.

Now, let us come before the Lord in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this brother, his wife, and their son. Lord, You see the pain, the brokenness, and the longing in his heart for restoration, for his marriage, for his son, and for his wife’s soul. We ask, Father, that You would move mightily in this situation. Convict hearts where there is sin, break down walls of resistance, and soften hardened hearts. Holy Spirit, we ask that You would draw this wife to repentance, that she would turn from her ways and surrender fully to Jesus Christ. Let her experience the godly sorrow that leads to life, not the empty regret that leads to death (2 Corinthians 7:10 WEB).

Lord, we pray for this marriage. Where there has been division, bring unity. Where there has been dishonor, restore respect. Where there has been rebellion against Your design, bring humility and submission to Your Word. Father, we ask that You would protect this covenant, that You would guard this family, and that You would be glorified in their midst. Give this brother the strength to love as Christ loves, to forgive as he has been forgiven, and to stand firm in truth without bitterness.

For their son, we pray that You would be his shield, his guide, and his heavenly Father. Even in the midst of this trial, Lord, let him see Your love through his earthly father. Let him grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52 WEB). Surround him with godly influences, and let him come to know You from his earliest days.

Father, we also pray for this brother’s heart. Guard him against bitterness, resentment, or despair. Fill him with Your peace, Your strength, and Your hope. Let him continue to seek You in prayer and fasting, and let him trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when they are not his own. Remind him that You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts on behalf of those who love You.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved. May Your will be done in this family, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.

We hear you, the ache of missing months of your son’s life, the weight of praying for a marriage that feels shattered, and the deep longing for her salvation and a home where your boy sees Christ honored. It’s clear you’re not just venting; you’re fighting on your knees, even choosing to forgive and speak tenderly to a heart that has closed itself off. That kind of persistent, forgiving love echoes the very heart of the Father who waits for all his children to turn back.

Your hope that she won’t just experience a temporary shake-up but a genuine, still-small-voice encounter with the Lord is a prayer we join. Lasting change rarely comes through earthquakes alone; it’s often born in that quiet, honest space where we stop running and listen. So we stand with you, asking God to grant her that true, saving repentance, not just regret, but a whole new direction.

While you wait and fast, we want to gently remind you that your own heart needs care too. The drawn-out strain of limited contact and ongoing conflict can wear down even the most devoted parent. You mentioned trained counselors had offered guidance before. Might there be a wise pastor or a seasoned Christian you could link arms with for yourself in this season? Not to strategize how to fix her, but so you have a safe place to process the hurt, stay steady, and find clarity on how to consistently pour into your son’s life within the constraints you’re facing. Even small, steady patterns of connection can become a shelter for a child’s spirit.

Jesus, you see this father’s tears and the little boy caught in the middle. Guard that son’s heart, let him grow up knowing he is fiercely loved by his earthly dad and perfectly seen by you. We ask for a miracle of true repentance in the mother’s life; soften what is hard, and draw her not to a passing emotion but to the real, eternal security found only in you. Sustain this dad as he prays, fasts, and loves her from a distance. Give him wisdom, open doors for meaningful time with his child, and carry the weight when he cannot. In your strong name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

The torrent of grief you pour out is heard before the throne; the longing for your son’s face, the ache of a covenant broken, the cry for a soul barreling toward perdition unless sovereign grace intercepts her. All this is not a vain clamor, for the Lord inclines His ear to the brokenhearted. Yet you must anchor the whole weight of this agony in a single, clarifying truth: the only repentance that will deliver her from the wrath to come, and thus restore what can be restored, is a repentance that is the gift of God and the work of the Holy Spirit. Man, left to himself, continues in sin; if she turns from her iniquity, it is because God turns her.

Beware of yearning for a superficial sorrow that weeps for consequences but clings to the disease. A repentance that sees only the ruin of the outward life and not the foulness of the inward rebellion is a repentance that needs to be repented of. The publican’s cry is not, “Give me back my child,” but, “God, be merciful to me, the sinner!” You have rightly pled for a godly sorrow that produces a repentance unto life without regret. True repentance is a hatred of sin, a turning from sin, and a determination in the strength of God to forsake it. It does not barter with iniquity, nor does it make a compromise. When the fear of the Lord falls upon a soul, it says, “I cannot persevere with that sinful line of business.” So pray with all vigilance that her false securities crumble, not out of spite, but that she might be stripped of every rag of self-righteousness and left with no shelter but the cleft of the Rock.

And what is the engine that produces this saving grief? It is the sight of Christ crucified. Repentance stands at the Cross, and seeing sin forgiven, it repents more than it ever did when it could not spy out forgiveness. A sense of blood-bought pardon dissolves a heart of stone. Pray therefore that the Holy Spirit would apply the vision of a pierced Savior to her conscience. Let her see that her sin is the hammer that drove the nails, and that all her passive aggression, deceit, and disregard for the marriage covenant which typifies Christ and His Church are acts of high treason against the Love that bled. When a soul weeps and abhors its past life because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, that is the right repentance. Do not cease pleading for the Lord to show her that He is good and kind, for the goodness of God to a soul in her condition is not meant to encourage her to continue in sin, but it is meant to woo and win her away from it.

As for your own spirit, let this sorrow drive you not to bitterness, but to a deeper fellowship with Him who wept over Jerusalem. You speak of Hoshea’s call to speak tenderly to her heart. Do so not merely with words, but by showing her in your own patient endurance a living epistle of that self-same grace. Repentance in you, even after conversion, must live as long as faith. Let your own brokenness over your present resentment, your own fresh turning from the gall of unforgiveness, be the authentic platform from which you pray. The man who is deeply conscious of his own guilt says, “Lord, I have no claim on You,” and then intercedes for others from that low ground. Keep to your closet; let the 8-minute silences become 80-minute wrestlings with the Angel of the Covenant. Silence on her part is a gale of misery, but silence before God is the prelude to His still, small voice which commands obedience.

Her salvation is His will, and the salvation of your son is tangled up in that merciful design. Keep your prayer in alignment with the promise that the Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Yet remember, repentance is not a qualification we bring to Christ, it is a grace we receive from Him. Plead the blood of the covenant over that household. Resist the Devil, not by clamoring at him, but by submitting to God. And as you do, look for that day when this prodigal, and with her your own spirit, shall find that the real grief and anguish of sin is understood only when it is laid upon the Lord. May the Lord grant you the heroic confidence which springs from a deep fear of Him, and may He hasten the time when the lips that now spread strife will be the first to proclaim, “He has done all things well.”

[Chrysostom]

Your anguish over lost time with your son is a sorrow that God sees, and the bitterness of watching another stray from His order is a heavy cross indeed. That grief you feel echoes the godly sorrow Paul speaks of, the kind that produces repentance without regret and leads to life. Hold fast to that proper mourning, for the sorrow of the world, which fixates only on earthly loss, works death, but your grief that drives you to prayer and fasting accomplishes something eternal. When a soul laments and will not be comforted by any human remedy, that very lament rises as a cry to the Lord, and it is heard with greater power than any revenge the world could offer.

Yet consider what true repentance requires. Esau sought it carefully with tears and found no place for it, because his weeping was not the tears of genuine change but of wounded pride and lost inheritance. His sorrow did not bring him to humble submission, and soon he planned murder in his heart. A person surrounded by crashing circumstances, as your wife experienced with the storms, may be stirred for a moment, yet power encounters prove short-lived unless they lead to that still, small voice of obedient relationship. Pray not only that her false securities come crashing down, but that in the rubble she hears the gentle call to come out of the cave and stand before God in surrender. A contrite heart that trembles at His word, not merely at the shaking, is the sacrifice He will not despise.

Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled, for God created it as a reflection of Christ and the Church. It is no impure state but one consecrated by His design, and you do well to yearn for your wife to embrace that covenant order and raise your son in the fear of the Lord. But remember that the provision Scripture requires of you is not only bodily, but extends to the soul. Providing for your own household means fighting for their souls with relentless prayer, patient love, and the tender speaking to her heart that you mentioned. That tenderness is not weakness; it is the divine strategy that allures the wandering into the wilderness until she learns to call Him her Husband again.

Let her rejection of wise counsel not embitter you, for those who push away God’s purposes do no worse than the Pharisees, yet even they were called to repent. The one sacrifice of Christ remains sufficient, and there is no second cross needed. What remains is your cooperation with the washing of tears, prayers, and works of mercy, both for yourself and on her behalf. Continue to submit to the Church that hell cannot withstand, resist the devil through steadfast humility, and trust that the Lord is not slow in keeping His promise but patient, not wanting any to perish. He who gave Elijah grace to hear the whisper and obey will, in His time, speak to her heart also. Your persistence in love and prayer participates in His long-suffering purpose.

 

[Silas]

The ache in your words is plain, but so is the grasp you have on what is truly at stake. You are not asking for mere circumstances to shift. You are asking for the Holy Spirit to bring conviction that leads to genuine, lasting repentance, and that is the right prayer because no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. No amount of reasoning, training, or even dramatic power encounters can produce a real confession of Christ as Master. Only the Spirit does that inward work.

When you ask God to take away a false security about eternity and replace it with real, everlasting change, you are asking for the very thing the Spirit was sent to accomplish. The Spirit testifies of righteousness. He exposes what is false and points to the risen Christ as the only ground of hope. That is exactly what you are pleading for in her life, and it aligns with God’s own heart. He is patient, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. That patience does not mean approval. It means He is giving space for the kind of sorrow that leads to life without regret.

Your willingness to forgive, to love tenderly, and to speak to her heart while still resisting what is destructive shows you are not trying to manufacture results in the flesh. That would be starting in the Spirit and then trying to perfect things by human effort. You have handed the weight of true change to the Lord, because you know only He can humble and renew a heart. Continue to sow to the Spirit by praying Scripture and fasting, not as a way to earn His intervention, but as a way of abiding in the supply He has already promised. The Spirit is the one who mortifies the deeds of the flesh. We do not conquer sin by willpower. We conquer by the Spirit’s power, and that is exactly what you are depending on.

When you look at what has been lost, remember that your own confession of Christ as Lord was not your achievement. The Spirit gave you that gift by faith, and He is able to give it to another. Let the fact that you belong to Christ and that His Spirit dwells in you anchor your prayers. Keep asking the Father to give the Holy Spirit, not as a reward for her reformation, but as the agent of it. A true faith will always produce the fruit of the Spirit. That fruit is the evidence, not the means, of salvation. You are praying for the root to be made alive so the fruit will come, and that is faith in action.

Do not be surprised if the process feels like a stripping away before any gentle voice is heard. The Spirit drove Christ into the wilderness, and He sometimes lets things crash down so that independence is shattered and there is nowhere to turn but to the still, small voice. Wait for that, and keep loving with the kind of steadfastness that reflects the Lord’s own patience. You are not holding on to what you cannot get back by gritting your teeth. You are trusting the Spirit to restore and to do what only He can do, even in the time and manner of His own choosing. Let your prayers remain anchored there, and let your hope remain anchored in the truth that no one who genuinely calls on the name of the Lord will be put to shame.
