[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 4+ months -- Father I want time with my young descendent...

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

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...

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 2:17-18… "Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done," Luke 22:42, Heb 5:7. 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… And let me continue to pray fervently and fast diligently — and not be embittered toward her, 1 Peter 3:1-7 and speak tenderly to her -- 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" but those things should be "former -- not ongoing" and ought now to cause shame, Rom 6:21)... 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 anguish in your heart, Father, as you plead for your son and for the restoration of what has been broken, both in your relationship with him and in the marriage that was meant to reflect Christ’s love for the Church. Your cry is not just for time lost, but for souls to be saved, for repentance to take root, and for the covenant of marriage to be honored as You designed it. We stand with you in this battle, for it is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness that seek to destroy what You have joined together (Ephesians 6:12).

First, we must address the pain of separation from your son. The withholding of time, the passive-aggressive behaviors, and the emotional distance are not merely personal grievances, they are violations of the biblical order You established for the family. Marriage is a sacred covenant, not a contract of convenience, and when one spouse undermines the other’s role as a parent, it grieves the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). You are right to mourn the time lost, but we must also guard our hearts against bitterness, for it will only hinder the work You desire to do. "See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many" (Hebrews 12:15). We pray that You would soften her heart to see the harm she has caused, not just to you, but to your son, who deserves the love and presence of both his parents in a home that honors You.

The behaviors you describe, suggestive online profiles, meeting men in secret, and the manipulation of silence, are not merely "crosses to bear." They are sin, and sin that, if left unrepented, will lead to destruction (Proverbs 14:12). We rebuke the spirit of rebellion and deception that has taken root in her life, for it is written, "The way of the unfaithful is hard" (Proverbs 13:15). Yet we also know that Your desire is not for her to perish, but to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her deeply, as Jesus promised He would (John 16:8), and that she would respond with godly sorrow, not worldly regret that leads to death, but repentance that leads to life (2 Corinthians 7:10). Let her false security in eternal life be shattered, Lord, and let her see the urgency of turning back to You before it is too late.

You are right to long for her to raise your son in the fear and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). A child’s spiritual foundation is most securely built when both parents are united in Christ, teaching him to walk in Your ways. The statistics you mention are sobering, but they are not Your final word. We declare that Your grace is greater than any statistic, and we pray that Your hand would be upon your son, drawing him to Yourself even now. Let him know the Scriptures from infancy, as Timothy did, so that he may be wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15). And let him see in you, his father, a living example of a man who loves You, walks in integrity, and fights for his family, not with bitterness or retaliation, but with the weapons of prayer, fasting, and the Word.

We also lift up your own heart, for the pain of this situation is heavy. You are fighting not just for your son, but for the marriage covenant itself, which You designed to be a picture of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:32). We pray that You would give you the strength to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), to pursue peace without compromising righteousness, and to trust in Your timing even when it feels unbearable. Remember the words of Hosea 2:14, "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her." Even in this wilderness, Lord, speak tenderly to her heart. Break down the walls of pride and rebellion, and draw her back to You, and to her family.

We rebuke the enemy’s schemes to divide this family further. We declare that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church You are building (Matthew 16:18), and we resist the devil in the mighty name of Jesus, knowing that he must flee (James 4:7). We pray for a supernatural intervention, a "still, small voice" moment (1 Kings 19:12) where she hears Your call to repentance and responds with humility. Let the earthquakes and storms she has already experienced be a wake-up call, not just a temporary shaking, but a lasting turning to You.

Father, we ask that You would restore this marriage, not for the sake of convenience, but for the sake of Your glory. Let it be a testimony of Your mercy, Your power to redeem, and Your faithfulness to those who trust in You. And if restoration is not Your will, then give this father the wisdom and strength to raise his son in a way that honors You, even in the midst of brokenness. We trust in Your perfect plan, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28).

We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). May Your will be done in this family, and may Your kingdom come. Amen.

We ache with you over the months you’ve lost and the distance that remains, it’s real grief, and not something you just get past. What we hear in your words is a dad whose love hasn’t quit, even when his heart is heavy. That willingness to forgive, even while the hurt is still sharp, matters. Forgiveness can be both a firm decision and a long, slow untangling of the pain, and both are at work in you. The ache doesn’t mean your forgiveness is fake; it means you love deeply. Keep letting that decision stand, and keep bringing the raw emotions to God; he isn’t put off by them.

One thing that can help is not carrying this alone. Is there a trusted friend, a small group, or a pastor who can regularly listen, pray with you, and help you stay tender rather than bitter? Even a monthly coffee with someone safe can lighten the load that isolation magnifies. Jesus himself didn’t walk the hardest road solo, he had his companions in the garden. You need people too.

We pray with you that your son’s mother would truly wake to the steadfast love of Christ, not merely jolted by circumstances but drawn by his quiet voice, the kind of change that lasts. And we pray for you, that God would guard your own heart from resentment, give you little pockets of joy with your boy even now, and fill in the gaps with his own fathering care.

Jesus, hold this dad close. Comfort him for what’s been stolen. Give him steady hope, and please stir deep, saving repentance in the mother so this family can be healed and this little boy raised in your ways. Sustain this father as he prays and fasts; do your work in your time. In your name we ask, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The true work of the Spirit is not a mere stirring of the natural conscience in a time of earthquake or typhoon, but a deep, inward change that glorifies God by renouncing every false way. You have pointed to the still small voice that drew Elijah from his cave, and that is well. The Lord is not in the wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but in the gentle whisper that humbles the soul and makes a man cover his face. The outward calamities that shook her in October may have produced a carnal repentance, a fright that crouches low while the storm rages and then rises to walk the old path when the skies clear. But you are pleading for that repentance which is not to be repented of, that godly sorrow which works a complete change of mind about her independence, her lying, her self-willed ways.

And look you here, what is the mark of that true repentance? It gives God the glory. It does not excuse sin or dress it in softer garments; it lays the whole weight of the guilt upon the heart and then rolls it upon the bleeding Substitute. Until she sees that her sin is not merely a mistake or a broken rule but a thrust of the spear into the side of Eternal Love, she will only weep with Esau’s tears that leave the heart unchanged. Yet you are right to anchor your hope in the truth that God is not willing that any should perish. The patience of the Most High is salvation. Do not measure the possibility of her conversion by the hardness you see now. There was a time when the mirror of the law showed you nothing but your own defilement, and yet He passed by and said, Live.

Remember that the father of the prodigal did not wait for the boy to trudge every step of the long road. Slow are the steps of repentance, but swift are the feet of forgiveness. The father ran, and the kisses that fell upon that ragged son were full of much love, much forgiveness, full restoration, and exceeding joy. Should the Lord grant her this grace, the very grief of being kept from your son and the shame of her crooked paths will be swallowed up in the wonder of being found. Wait for it. Pray it down. The prayer you have penned, woven through with the sure promises of Scripture, is the kind that moves the arm that moves the world.

But take heed to your own spirit. You speak of forgiving her for the months she stole and the silence that wounds. See to it that your forgiveness is as full and frank as the forgiveness you have received. To be bitter is to drink poison and wait for the other to die. When you remember how much the Master has wiped from your own slate, ten thousand talents and more, should it not be as natural as breathing to open your hand and let go of the hundred pence she owes? Speak tenderly, as the prophet Hosea declares the Lord will do with His wayward bride. The wilderness is a harsh school, but there the Lord allures and speaks comfortably. Your calling, even in this ache of separation, is to be a dim reflection of the Husband who loved the Church and gave himself for it.

The mystery of that union is profound. I speak concerning Christ and the Church. The world knows nothing of it, but the saint knows that the love a husband pours upon his wife is to be a set-apart thing, a peculiar affection that mirrors the covenant bond. Whether she ever returns in body or not, you are called to live that holy love before her and before God, not as a mere show of duty but with a heart that has known the grip of the pierced hand. The best argument for the gospel you can ever give her is to walk in such unity with Christ that she cannot escape the fragrance of His presence in you. The marriage bond is no myth, no figure of speech; it is a reality wrought by His love, and that reality stands even when one party for a season breaks the harmony.

Do not faint because the desired video-time with your little one is so scant. The Lord who sees the ### minutes sees also the everlasting covenant. Your son may yet rise to call you blessed, and it may please God to use your persistence in prayer to snatch the mother’s soul from the net of the fowler. The statistical hope of a boy raised by a godly father is meaningful, but the decree of Heaven is surer still. All Scripture is God-breathed, and it is written that from infancy the sacred writings are able to make one wise unto salvation. Commit the boy to that Word, and trust the Spirit to water the seed even when your own hand seems far away.

So let your prayer rise as incense. Fast, weep, and plead the blood. But let your soul be filled with that divine forgiveness which builds a throne for grace. Your plea is for her soul, for the marriage covenant, for the right ordering of a household that the gates of Hell cannot withstand. It is spoken in the secret of your chamber, but it echoes in the courts of the King. What remains for you is to believe that a deed of forgiveness is held in the nail-pierced hand, ready to be applied. It is a surprising forgiveness, a complete forgiveness, an eternal forgiveness. Press on, and God grant you to see the kissing and the joy that follow the long watching.

[Chrysostom]

The grief you bear for lost time and the provocations you endure can be of two kinds. The sorrow that mourns only personal hurt and wasted months is of the world, and it brings harm, often breeding bitterness and despair. Such sorrow, as Paul warns, produces death. But there is another sorrow, a godly sorrow that works repentance unto salvation, a repentance that leaves no regret. This is the sorrow you are called to feel: not merely for your own pain, but for her soul, for the sins that keep her from Christ and from raising your son in the fear of the Lord. Paul himself was consumed with anguish and tears, not for his own troubles, but for those who were weak and stumbling. That grief is full of great delight, for it springs from love.

Do not let your heart grow hard or despair over her. There is no wound of the soul that is beyond healing. Did not the thief on the cross, in a single moment, obtain paradise? Repentance is a powerful medicine; it can wash away any stain, if only the sinner turns. The Lord wills not the death of the sinner, but that she turn and live. Yet be careful that you are not swallowed up by overmuch sorrow. Let your grief drive you to prayer, to tears, to works of mercy, not to bitterness.

You are in a contest, and the meeting is not yet broken up. You have received time to win distinction, to prove your arms. Many who have been thrown in the wrestling have stood up and resumed the fight. Glorify God, then, that you have opportunity to show patience and love that mirrors Christ. When the provocations come, the silence, the suggestive acts, remember that the longsuffering man is high as adamant; he is not wounded. The angry are but children striking in their folly. Laugh inwardly at the assaults, not in scorn, but in pity, and you will remain at peace.

Continue, therefore, in fervent prayer and fasting, speaking tenderly as the Lord commands. Trust in the one sacrifice of Christ, which is sufficient for all who repent. Do not look for a second Cross, but for her true conversion. The sorrow you carry for her sin is the very ground of lasting joy, for it leads to repentance without regret. Let it be that she, and you, and the child may one day rejoice together in the mercy of God.

 

[Silas]

The ache you carry over lost time with your son and the ongoing tension in your home is not lost on the Lord. He sees your tears, and he hears your prayer. What your heart is really crying out for is not just more minutes on a screen but a profound work of the Holy Spirit, a genuine, life-altering repentance that softens her heart toward God, your son, and the marriage covenant. That longing is a holy longing, because it matches God’s own will. He is patient, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to a radical change of mind about sin. He desires real, everlasting change, not a surface cleaning.

Conviction is a precious thing. When the Spirit begins to disturb someone’s false peace, it is not cruelty but mercy. What feels to us like earthquakes or a storm around a life is often the Spirit’s wind, compelling a soul to stop running. And yet, as you noted, the dramatic moments can fade. What brings lasting transformation is hearing the still, small voice of the Spirit in the quiet, not just the roar of crisis. That is what you are praying into: not just that circumstances crash around her, but that she would truly listen. Godly sorrow works repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret. That sorrow is not the “I got caught” kind of pain but a deep recognition that independence, deception, and disregard for God’s order are not just unloving to others, they are a rebellion against the Lord who bought her. When the Spirit brings that kind of sorrow, it leads to a real turning. It makes shame over former things not a chain, but fuel for new life.

Your role in this season is vital. You are asking to remain free from bitterness, to speak tenderly, and to love in a way that gives no foothold to the enemy. That is the only posture that keeps your own prayers unhindered. The same Spirit you are asking to convict her also works in you, perfecting the love of God. You cannot manufacture that love yourself; it takes the power of the Spirit to mortify the deeds of your own flesh, including resentment. As you yield to him, he pours his love through you, the kind that forgives, that keeps hoping, and that reflects Christ’s patient love for his bride. And that love becomes a testimony. The Spirit’s fruit in your life is evidence that he dwells in you, and that same Spirit can soften the hardest heart.

Do not lose heart over what seems like wasted months. The Spirit is the down payment of our full redemption. If he has begun a work, he will complete it. That includes not only saving her but restoring what the locusts have eaten. When a soul turns, God makes a new heart and a new spirit. He never brings up old offenses again. He equips parents to raise children in the training and instruction of the Lord. His design for marriage is not broken beyond repair by human failure; it is a mirror of Christ and the church, and his grace can bring that reflection back into focus. The Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is able to breathe life into a situation that now feels dead.

So keep asking, keep fasting, and keep walking in the Spirit. Do not grow weary. The God who desires all to be saved is the one who draws a person through conviction. Continue to pray with confidence, for you are asking according to his revealed will. Let the Spirit sustain you as you love, as you wait, and as you trust. He is the Spirit of truth, the Comforter, and the one who brings sinners to repentance. Nothing is too hard for him.
