[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 2 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 anguish in your heart, Father, as you plead for time with your son and for the salvation and transformation of his mother. Your cry is not just for justice in visitation, but for the eternal soul of your child’s mother and the spiritual well-being of your son. We stand with you in this burden, lifting it before the throne of grace with urgency and hope.

First, we must address the foundation of all prayer, access to the Father is only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we may approach God (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). It is only by His blood that we are made clean and have the right to stand before the Holy One. We rejoice that you have come in Jesus’ name, for He alone is the way, the truth, and the life. If the mother of your child does not know Christ as Lord and Savior, her first need is not behavioral change, but regeneration by the Holy Spirit. "Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). We pray fervently for her salvation, that the eyes of her heart may be opened to the truth of the Gospel.

Your pain over the lost time with your son is profound, and we grieve with you. The withholding of access, the passive-aggressive behaviors, and the suggestive online activity you describe reveal a heart that is not submitted to God’s design for marriage and family. Scripture is clear: marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman, a reflection of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:31-32). When this covenant is broken through unfaithfulness, deception, or rebellion, it is not merely a personal failing, it is a violation of God’s holy order. The behaviors you describe, lying, manipulation, and sexual immorality, are not "cool" or acceptable; they are sin, and they grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). We must rebuke these things in the name of Jesus, for they bring destruction to individuals, families, and generations.

The Lord does not delight in the perishing of the wicked (Ezekiel 33:11), and neither should we. Your desire for her repentance is godly, for "godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted" (2 Corinthians 7:10). Yet repentance is not merely feeling bad, it is a turning away from sin and turning toward God with a transformed heart. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her deeply, as Jesus promised: "When He comes, He will convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment" (John 16:8). Let this conviction not be fleeting, but lead to a broken and contrite heart that the Lord will not despise (Psalm 51:17).

You have sought godly counsel, and that is wise. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Yet if she has rejected this counsel, she has rejected not just you, but the wisdom of God. We must pray that her heart would be softened, that she would humble herself under the mighty hand of God (1 Peter 5:6). Sometimes, as you noted, the Lord allows circumstances to shake us, earthquakes, storms, or the crashing down of our own plans, so that we might turn to Him. We pray that this would be her story, that she would not harden her heart as Pharaoh did, but that she would respond to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit (1 Kings 19:12).

For your son, we pray protection over his heart, mind, and spirit. The statistics you mention are sobering, but they are not determinative. God is able to redeem and restore even the most broken situations. We pray that he would be raised in the training and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4), that from infancy he would know the Holy Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:15), and that he would come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. We declare over him that he is not a statistic, he is a child of the King, created for a purpose, and we claim his life for the glory of God.

We also lift you up, dear brother. The pain of this situation is heavy, and the temptation to bitterness or despair must be resisted. You are called to love her, even as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her (Ephesians 5:25). This does not mean enabling sin or ignoring wrongdoing, but it does mean speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and trusting God’s justice and timing. Your fasting and fervent prayer are powerful weapons in this spiritual battle (Matthew 17:21). Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).

We must also address the reality of spiritual warfare in this situation. The enemy seeks to destroy families, to sow discord, and to keep souls in bondage. But we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12). We resist the devil, and he must flee (James 4:7). We stand on the truth that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church (Matthew 16:18). We declare that this family is not abandoned, God is at work, even in the darkness.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we may be saved and approach Your throne. We lift up this family to You, Lord, and we ask for Your mercy and Your intervention. For the mother of this child, we pray for salvation. Soften her heart, Lord. Let the Holy Spirit convict her of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Break the chains of deception, pride, and rebellion. Bring her to a place of godly sorrow that leads to repentance and life. Let her turn from her ways and seek Your face with a humble and contrite heart.

For this precious child, we pray protection over his heart, mind, and spirit. Guard him from the lies of the enemy and the brokenness of this world. Let him know You from his earliest days, and let the Scriptures be planted deep within him. Raise him up to be a man after Your own heart, a warrior for Your kingdom. Give him a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and let him find his identity in Christ alone.

For our brother who has brought this request, we pray strength, wisdom, and grace. Help him to love as You love, to speak truth in love, and to trust You even when the path is dark. Give him patience to wait on Your timing and faith to believe in Your promises. Let his prayers and fasting be a sweet aroma before You, and let them move the hand of God in this situation.

Father, we declare that this family is not beyond Your reach. You are the God who makes all things new, who restores the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). We ask for a miracle of restoration, restoration of time, restoration of relationship, and restoration of hearts to You. Let this be a testimony of Your mercy and grace, that many would come to know You through the redemption of this family.

We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

We encourage you to continue standing on the promises of God. Do not lose heart, for the battle is the Lord’s (1 Samuel 17:47). Surround yourself with godly community that can pray with you, fast with you, and hold you accountable. Speak life and truth over your son, even in the limited time you have with him. And above all, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Trust Him.

We hear the ache in your words, the longing for time with your son, the grief over moments you cannot get back, and the weight of hoping for his mother’s heart to turn. It is clear you love them both deeply, and your desire to live out a wholehearted family before the Lord is genuine. That longing is something we carry with you in prayer.

As you’ve already sensed, dramatic events like earthquakes can shake a person awake for a moment, but lasting change often comes through the quieter, persistent work of the Spirit, the “still, small voice” that Elijah heard. We’ve seen that true repentance isn’t just feeling sorry or scared for a season; it’s a complete change of direction, a godly sorrow that bears real fruit. That’s what we join you in asking God to nurture in her: not fleeting regret, but a deep, transforming turning toward Him that reshapes how she sees you, your son, and the covenant you share.

In the meantime, don’t lose heart in your own faithful, tender pursuit. Keep speaking to her heart as the Lord leads (Hos. 2:14), and continue anchoring your own steps in prayer and the support of mature believers. When the door cracks open, even for an 8‑minute video call, your consistent, gentle presence is planting seeds of trust and stability in your child’s life that no lost season can erase.

Father, thank You that this father’s love mirrors something of Your own faithful heart. Grant him those precious, life‑giving moments with his son. We ask that godly sorrow would gently yet firmly grip this mother’s heart, leading to genuine repentance and a restored family. Protect their child’s spirit, and give strength for each step ahead. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

The cry of a wounded father, pleading for the mother of his child and for the soul of his little one, ascends with a holy importunity. Your sorrow is not hidden from Him who hears the groaning of the prisoner and numbers the wanderings of His children. Yet, let us take heed that this grief does not sour into a worldly sorrow that works death, but by grace may it be refined into that godly sorrow which works repentance to salvation, not to be repented of.

You have grasped a weighty truth in desiring for her a repentance that is unto life. Many are the false repentances that deceive the soul, the fleeting tear, the terror of conscience, the momentary resolve, these spring up like morning dew and vanish under the heat of trial. True repentance gives God glory. It strips the sinner of every rag of self-righteousness; it lays the heart low at the pierced feet of Christ; it cries out with a childlike submission, “Against You, You only, have I sinned.” When the Holy Spirit convicts, He does not merely stir the emotions to regret independence and lying; He turns the whole mind with an intense change, a loathing of the sin itself, and a clinging to the Savior. Without this, all her shaking under Providence will pass like a whirlwind that leaves the heart harder than before. Remember, terrors alone are the sorrow of the world that drives men to despair, not to the Cross. Pray therefore that her sorrow may be a sanctified sorrow, a storm that blows her into the haven of Jesus’ wounds.

Your reference to Elijah is well observed. The earthquake, the wind, the fire, these are but God’s odd servants; they prepare the way, but the still small voice brings the soul to obedience. Many a restless sinner has been startled by calamity, yet only the gentle whisper of adoption melts the will. Pray on; do not grow weary. There is no armor against importunate intercession when it pleads the promises. You have cited 2 Peter 3:9; let it be your cordial. The Lord is not willing that any should perish, and His long-suffering is salvation. It may be that through your patient, silent holiness, and through words spoken tenderly to her heart as in Hosea 2:14, the door may be opened for that godly sorrow which is the birth-pang of eternal joy.

But let the same truth search your own spirit. You speak of forgiving her, that is right. Yet examine whether any root of bitterness lurks beneath. The pain of lost years with your son is a very heavy burden, and you will never regain those months. Still, if the Lord should grant her repentance, you will count it a light price. And what of the boy? That little lamb is to be trained in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Do not despair. The God who blessed Isaac in the house of strife, and who preserved Jacob amidst the trouble wrought by his own hand, hears your cry for that young immortal. Pray as you do, with fervency and fasting; live before him such a life that he may see the beauty of the Lord upon you; and trust the seed to the Sower. Even if all visible tokens be few, the prayer of faith has a long arm.

Watch against that subtle snare of false security. I see you have the wisdom to plead that God take it away. Better, far better, that her towers of pride fall with a crash than that she sleep in a painted peace and wake in outer darkness. Many have lied unto God with broken promises, and their whole life becomes an elaborate lie. But where the Spirit works, He creates a rainbow, tears of grief for sin mingled with glances of hope at Christ’s finished work. That is the repentance that stands in the judgment. Pray for that.

As for the passive aggressiveness and the rest, cast it upon the Lord who judges righteously. Your own duty is to love her, to speak truth without caustic gall, and to commend your cause to Him. Do not let the disappointment sour your spirit, for a wrathful heart cannot work the righteousness of God. If the door opens for the counsellors again, go with a teachable spirit; if it does not, God can work without them.

And remember, the Savior had His own sword-pierced soul. He knows what it is to be rejected, to love and to be hated for it, to desire to gather and to be defied. In your small measure you taste of His cup. Let that fellowship sweeten the bitter draught. Carry the sorrow to the Cross, and there watch it turn to joy. For all true sorrow for sin, whether yours over this household wreck or hers yet to be born, is but the dark cavity before the sealed tomb. The morning comes; the stone is rolled away; Christ is risen, and with Him rises every hope that lies buried in seeming ruin.

The time is short. That little one must be won for the skies; that wandering soul must hear the Redeemer’s voice or perish. Yet God’s will is your peace. Leave her in the hands of Him who is able to break the flinty rock and make the rebellious heart as soft as a little child’s. Continue in supplication, submit your will to His, and wait. The vision is for an appointed time; though it tarry, wait for it. And may the Lord grant you to see that for which you groan, and to say with a full heart, “I have asked, and God has given; I have wept, and He has wiped away my tears.”
