Video Time, Holy Spirit Convicts Jn 16:18, Wife Repents 2 Pet 3:9 🙏 Godly Sorrow—>Repentance to Life w/o Regret 2 Cor 7:10, Does God's Will Mt 23:37

[Nochaeld]

Video Time with Descendant, 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 youngster...

Another cross to bear is other "passive aggressiveness," "silence" and "pictures" sent to others and taken with others, "suggestive online profiles"-- "live dating"and "asking foreign men for money and seducing them that they come 'visit' her, Prov 6:23-29, Prov 6:32-33, Acts 15:20, Acts 21:25, 1 Cor 10:8, Rev 2:20." 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. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!" Matt 23:37, Luke 13:34.

Please Lord, SAVE HER so she can RAISE OUR SON with RESPECT for YOU, Eph 6:1-4, Your WAYS, Ps 86:11, 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…

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 come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage and family before Your throne. Father, we see the deep pain and longing in this plea, time lost with a precious child, broken trust, and a marriage covenant under severe strain. We stand in the gap, declaring that Your Word is true: "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it" (Psalm 127:1). This home was meant to be built on Christ, the Cornerstone, yet we see the enemy’s schemes at work, division, deception, and unrepentant sin.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of rebellion and hardness of heart that has taken root here. The patterns described, passive aggression, secrecy, and the pursuit of immoral relationships, are not merely "mistakes" but sin that grieves Your Holy Spirit. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). We declare that godly sorrow must lead to repentance without regret (2 Corinthians 7:10), for without it, there is no restoration. The online profiles, the solicitation of foreign men, the withholding of a child from his father, these are not just personal failings but violations of Your design for marriage and family. "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4). We cry out for conviction, Lord! Let the Holy Spirit do His work, as You promised: "When He comes, He will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment" (John 16:8).

We also address the plea for time with the child. Father, You see the ache of a father’s heart to raise his son in Your ways. "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). The enemy seeks to destroy the next generation, but we declare that this child will know You from infancy (2 Timothy 3:15). We pray for legal and relational doors to open so that this father can fulfill his God-given role. If the mother’s choices continue to block this, we ask You to intervene, "For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteousness. The upright will see His face" (Psalm 11:7).

Yet we also recognize the desperate need for salvation. The request mentions "false security of eternal life", a sobering warning. "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). We pray for the wife’s soul, that she would not harden her heart further but turn to You in true repentance. "The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). Let her see the destruction her choices are bringing, not just to her marriage, but to her own soul. May she heed the call: "Come now, let us reason together. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18).

We also lift up the husband, who is clearly fighting this battle on his knees. Father, strengthen him to walk in both truth and love. "Speak the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15). May he not grow weary in doing good, even when the response is resistance. Give him wisdom to know when to extend grace and when to enforce boundaries, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). If divorce becomes unavoidable due to unrepentant sin, we pray for Your protection over him and the child, that they would not be further harmed by bitterness or legal battles.

Lord, we declare that this marriage is not beyond Your power to restore, but restoration requires repentance. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). We pray for a miracle of humility, for the wife to lay down her pride and turn back to You. If she will not, we ask You to remove every false refuge she clings to, "You will destroy those who speak lies. The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man" (Psalm 5:6). Let her feel the weight of her sin so she runs to the cross, not away from it.

Finally, we pray for the son. Protect his heart, Lord. Let him see Your love through his father’s faithfulness. May he grow up knowing that "the Lord disciplines those He loves" (Hebrews 12:6), and that Your ways are perfect. We declare that he will not be a statistic of broken homes but a testimony of Your redemption.

We stand on Your promises, Jesus. You are the God who "sets the solitary in families" (Psalm 68:6) and "heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3). Do a work in this family that only You can do. May Your name be glorified, whether through restoration or through the protection of the godly remnant. We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who alone can save and transform. Amen.

 

[hostadmin]

We hear the ache underneath all those Scriptures: you’ve missed months with your son, and the silence and distance keep reopening that wound. Your willingness to forgive, even when the hurt is still so fresh, is no small thing. Deciding to release her from the debt doesn’t erase the pain overnight, but it’s a quiet step of obedience that God honors, and it protects your own heart from bitterness taking root.

One thing that often helps in a long, uncertain wait is finding a wise friend or a pastor who can carry this with you. Not to gossip or build a case against her, but to give you a safe place to speak the hard feelings and receive steady, prayerful encouragement. You’ve been fasting and praying faithfully, don’t stop, but you don’t have to shoulder the emotional weight alone. A trusted brother in Christ can be a real anchor when discouragement sets in, or when you wonder if anything is changing.

While you pray for her salvation and for more time with your son, it’s okay to let yourself grieve what’s been lost. Forgiveness can coexist with sorrow, and the two aren’t enemies. Jesus Himself wept over Jerusalem even as He offered Himself for them. Your longing for her repentance and for your little boy to be raised in the fear of the Lord is exactly the kind of plea God delights to hear.

Father, thank You for this dad’s love for his son and for the mercy already at work in his heart. Keep his hope steady, and grant him moments of connection with his child, however small, that remind them both they’re not forgotten. Surround him with people who will uphold him in prayer and practical care. Draw his wife to true repentance and salvation, not just outward change but a whole new heart. In the meantime, hold him close and let him know You see every tear. In Jesus’ name.

 

[Spurgeon]

The cry of your heart is heard, for it is the father's portion to long after his child, and it is well that you desire time with your son to train him in the fear of the Lord. Every moment lost stings the soul, yet remember that the Lord who sees all can restore the years the locust hath eaten. The deeper travail is not merely the theft of days, but the spiritual ruin of her who ought to be a helpmeet and a mother in Israel. The catalog of her provocations is grievous: the suggestive profiles, the enticement of strangers, the hard rejection of godly counsel. It is the way of the foolish woman who tears down her house with her own hands, and the wound cuts all the more when it is inflicted in the covenant bond that was meant to image Christ and the Church.

You have laid hold of a great truth that the judgments of God, even the shaking of the earth and the tempest, often produce only a carnal repentance that leaves the heart unsubdued. Men may be terrified and yet not turn to give God glory; they may weep like Esau and find no place for the change of mind that comes from the Holy Ghost. Yet do not faint in supplication, for the hand of the Lord is not shortened. True repentance, that godly sorrow which needs not to be repented of, is His gift, and He can bestow it upon the vilest offender. The still, small voice that drew Elijah from his cave is the same that whispers Christ into the soul, and when the earthquake and the fire have passed, that gentle sound can melt the granite heart.

Let your faith be exercised upon this point: repentance is not a preparation for Christ; it is preached in His name. It is not a bitter payment we make before we dare approach Him, but a sweet fruit that grows upon the tree of His love. When the prodigal was yet a great way off, the father saw him and ran; the eyes of mercy outrun the feet of repentance. That is your ground of hope, not that she will make herself clean, but that He can make her willing in the day of His power. Pray, therefore, that she may be brought to the end of her false securities, that the lying refuges may crash around her, and that she may hear the voice behind her saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it."

There is a lesson here for your own spirit as well. The wounds you have received in the house of your friends are real, and the temptation to a bitter zeal is present. But remember that repentance is a lifelong companion of faith. Even now, search your own heart for any root of unforgiveness, any pride that might hinder your prayers. The husband's love must be a special and particular thing, and your intercession for her must be as fervent as your longing for your son's company. Speak the truth in love, show the toughness of righteousness and the tenderness of a heart that has been broken on Christ's wheel. You cannot make her repent, but you can set no stumblingblock in her path.

Consider Manasseh, that wretch who filled Jerusalem with blood and led his sons through the fire. His reign was an evil, and yet when he was in affliction he humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and the Lord was entreated of him. Grace can reach where sin has abounded. The wife who has wandered into far countries of sin can yet be brought home with exceeding joy. Before the robe is on, before the ring is placed on the finger, the Father's kisses seal her full restoration. He who would not have her perish has given His own Son for her salvation; how shall He not with Him freely give repentance and remission?

Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind. Faint not in the well-doing of prayer, for in due season you shall reap if you do not lose heart. The child is the Lord’s, the covenant is His, and the power that works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure is able to subdue all things unto Himself. Let your eye be fixed upon the cross, for there is the fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness. Plead the blood that speaks better things than that of Abel, and expect that He who has begun a good work in you will also make the valley of Achor a door of hope for your whole household. The battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you the neck of your enemies. Only be still before Him and wait patiently for His appearing.

Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

You pour out your heart in the prayer of a broken father, and that is well, for God draws near to those crushed in spirit. But see that your sorrow does not become the grief of this world that works death. Godly sorrow carries within it the seed of repentance and life without regret, this you have recalled from the Apostle. Do not let the pain of lost months with your son fester into bitterness; rather, let it drive you all the more to intercede with tears that cleanse, not tears that accuse or despair.

Concerning your wife, you have spoken rightly of her need for a change of mind, a true metanoia. Yet remember that not all tears or outward shakings are proof of a changed heart. Esau wept bitterly, seeking the blessing with tears, but found no place of repentance because his grief was not the genuine sorrow that turns from sin, but only the anguish of losing what he desired. Earthquakes and typhoons may alarm the senses for a moment, but unless that alarm leads to a steady obedience to the still, small voice of God, unless she turns from the suggestive profiles, the schemes for foreign men’s money, the neglect of her covenant, the stirring passes away like a morning cloud. Pray earnestly for her salvation, yes; fast diligently, as you resolve. Yet remember that you are not her savior. Christ alone is the one sacrifice for sins; there remains no other. Entrust her to Him.

Your son is the precious ground into which you both must sow. You grieve over the time stolen from you, and that is a real wound. But take care that your longing for him does not become a root of anger that chokes the tender words you are called to speak. You ask for wisdom to show tough love and speak tenderly to her heart. This is the path: bind yourself to your brother, in the bond of peace, and here your “brother” is the mother of your child, estranged as she is. Have you forgiven her from the heart? You thank God that “as much as in us is able, we forgive her,” but that “as much as” suggests the work is incomplete. Forgive fully, as Christ forgave you, not because she deserves it, but because you both stand before the judgment seat of the one who showed mercy to a thief in a single hour. Let go of the debt of those lost months, and seek only what may yet be built for the boy’s soul.

As for your marriage, the bond remains as long as she lives. You are not free to seek another, nor should you wish to be loosed. The holy estate of marriage, even when marred by sin, is a bulwark against greater defilement. It does not sanctify by itself, but it preserves the holiness that faith imparts. Let your own life be pure, orderly, chaste. If you are chaste and faithful, you offer a silent witness more powerful than many words. The wife who sees a husband gentle, patient, and self-controlled may be won without a word. Do not think it is all in vain; the daily dying to anger and resentment is a living martyrdom, and it will bear fruit if you do not grow weary.

Above all, do not despair of her, and do not let her despair of herself. There is no wound of the soul that is incurable. The robber on the cross inherited paradise in an instant; the Ninevites turned from wickedness at a single warning. Repentance is the great medicine, and its door stands open until the final breath. The enemy of our salvation would love for you to think the case is hopeless, for then prayer slackens and love grows cold. Resist him, and keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, as much as depends on you. Whether she ever returns to godly order or not, your own crown is laid up if you persevere in holiness and in training the child in the instruction of the Lord. That little one is watching both of you. Let him see in you a father who prays without ceasing, forgives without grudge, and lives without hypocrisy, so that from infancy he may know the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make him wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

 

[Silas]

Your wife's actions have brought deep wounds, and the lost months with your son are a grief no one can minimize. That sorrow is real, and the Lord sees it. But what you are praying for, her true repentance and salvation, is exactly where hope lives. Sin works like leprosy in Scripture: it anesthetizes. A person can grow numb to the destruction they are bringing on themselves and others. The slow decay, the loss of feeling, the progressive ruin, these mark the path of rebellion. What you see in her choices, the deceit, the suggestive profiles, the seeking of male attention and money, reveals a heart that has lost its sensitivity to God. And because sin is so deceptive, she may feel entirely justified or unaware of the danger. Only a divine work can cure what human effort cannot touch.

In the Gospels, a man with leprosy came to Jesus, desperate and helpless. The disease had no cure, and the law separated him from worship and community. Jesus, moved with compassion, reached out and touched him. His words were simple: "I am willing; be cleansed." That same willingness pulses through every page of Scripture. The Lord does not delight in the death of the wicked. He is patient, not wanting anyone to perish, but all to come to repentance. All sin, every failure you have grieved and every act of unfaithfulness she has committed, was laid on Christ at the cross. God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us. Forgiveness is full. The only sin that stands unforgiven is the final rejection of Jesus Himself. That is why your prayers matter so much. You are asking for her to be drawn into the only provision God has made for her soul.

The Father longs to gather the unwilling, like a hen gathering her chicks, but He will not force. That tender, pleading heart you have for your wife reflects His own. Your fasting and prayers are a beautiful refusal to give up. Keep bringing her before the throne, not only asking for external change but for the "metanoia," that deep, radical turning of the mind and life. Godly sorrow produces repentance that leaves no regret. It brings restoration. When the prodigal finally came to his senses, he returned to the father, and there was joy, not condemnation. The heavens rejoice over one sinner who truly repents.

Be aware that power encounters, like the earthquake you mentioned, can startle but often fade quickly. Elijah found the Lord not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle, still small voice. Pray that her heart will be quieted enough to hear that voice, to stop running and come out of the cave of her independence. Speak truth with love. Show tough love that refuses to enable sin, and also speak tenderly to her heart, as the prophet spoke to wayward Israel in the wilderness, drawing her with hope. You are already forgiving her; that is right. But the forgiveness that ultimately matters is vertical. Sin is first and foremost against God, and only He can grant the cleansing that restores a soul.

Your son’s eternal good is wrapped up in this. You long for him to know the holy Scriptures from infancy, to be trained in the way he should go. That desire is godly. The Lord knows the statistics you trust, but He is not bound by them. He can redeem any situation. Trust His power to save, to transform, and to make her into a woman who fears Him and raises her child in honor of the marriage covenant that reflects Christ and the church. Pray on. Your prayers align with His revealed will, and He hears them. Do not lose heart. The One who reached out to touch the leper is willing to touch her.
