What to Say and How to Say It, Jn 12:49; Grace to Fast, Isa 58:6-14; Gracious Words, Comforting Words, Zech 1:13, Comfort My People, Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, Isa 40:1-2; Speak to Her Heart in The Wilderness, Hosea 2:14...

Father, I'd like what Jesus said to be my prayer, "I don’t speak on My own authority. The Father who sent Me commands me what to say and how to say it," John 12:49 [1]. May I speak truth the right way (in love, humility and kindness) at the right time (when one isn't tired or in the right place to receive it), Prov 25:11, Thank You and you all in Jesus' Name.

I need to know what to say and how to say it, John 12:49. Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is the right word at the right time, Prov 25:11 I know You will not give up on my wife -- Don’t allow me to give up on the one I love and am ready and willing to forgive... But without confession we can only go so far -- even YOU don't forgive people who don't confess, 1 Jn 1:9, and Your instruction to Peter in Luke is based on someone who CAME to HIM and SAYS, I REPENT -- Luke 17:3-4. So help us live in an understanding way with her, and let her see to it she respects me, but as it's evident there is no fruit for You, let me speak timely words and serve her tenderly, yet not be taken advantage of, but quietly win her over as if I were a woman with an unsaved husband, 1 Peter 3:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9.

It was while they were ministering to the Lord and fasting -- please help me hunger and thirst for righteousness in these situation, and help others share this burden with me for her, me, our child, the entire situation and all that’s transpired, good, bad and ugly, to be turned for glory, praise and honor, Isa 58:6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 11-12, 13-14.

As the early church said, "fasting and giving lends wings to our prayers." The Truth is the same yesterday, but today and forever, Heb 13:8. Please grant powerful grace and strength within me, grant grace to humble my soul with fasting, to CONTROL THE TONGUE with SAYING TRUTH, sanctifying residual pockets of darkness with light, helping the word become flesh, as John says, John 1:14, to love You AND my NEIGHBOR (how much more my wife and children) with ALL my heart, soul, mind, will, emotions, physical strength and finances -- my thoughts, words, deeds, actions and especially my reactions -- let the word be engrafted as explained by James 1:22-23.

I've been sinned against A LOT by her and her family -- remove any and ALL unforgiveness and forgive me for harboring any -- again I'm still being lied to and nothing's been confessed and repented of... Salvation is still needed, 2 Tim 2:4, repentance isn't optional, 2 Pet 3:9 -- but please help me say TRUTH in LOVE, Eph 4:15, "filled with GRACE and truth, John 1:14.

Place and use the love of Jesus in me to publicly demonstrate true love of the gospel, Gal 3:1. Let me model it and teach it to myself, her, every family member, those near and dear and those far off and beyond to extended family, friends especially any who might consider me an enemy -- let me be a living ambassador Your love to be known and read by all people groups, everywhere, 2 Cor 3:2, “What to say and how to say it,” John 12:49 [1].

Do not take us out of the world, but keep us from the evil one, John 17:15. Sanctify us by the truth; Your Word is truth, John 17:17. Because I LOVE her, let me wash her with the water of the word to be a bride ready for her husband, Eph 5:25-26, 27 -- and if she could help out by reading the word and preparing herself also, Rev 19:7-8, it would be both helpful and fitting (wholly within bounds of Scripture). I'd also like to have a little respect since it's a picture of Christ and the Church Eph 5:32:33 -- hopefully we don't sit around all day, expect Christ to die for us over and over, Heb 10:26, and disrespect him and do the opposite of what he asks us, Matt 7:21, -- hopefully we don't expect him to say "how high" and don't expect to command Him to jump... We are not stronger than He, correct? 1 Cor 10:22.

Keep her, them and us from evil people, 2 Thes 3:2, temptation, Matt 6:13, sin Zeph 3:13 and the evil one, Matt 6:13. Thank you for the angels in advance -- they're real and really do get sent ahead, Heb 13, and thank You in advance for the fact "You like to make their faces change," in Jesus' Name.

[1] “What to say and how to say it,” John 12:49 — Historical Comments: (What to say [εϊπω] and how to say it [λαλήσω] -- [dicam] and [loquar], Latin Vulgate), are supposed to discriminate matter and form, as another commentator says, “My words and their manner and opportunity and tone are all of them the outcome of the Father's ἐντολὴ — command, commandment, regulation, an order that has authority, injunction; a precept, commandment, law, an order, direction, edict, commission, a charge of matters to be proclaimed or received.”

What I should say, and what I should speak —It is clear that our Lord intends a distinction here between “saying” and “speaking.” We have had the same distinction in John 8:43. That which He should say was the matter of the revelation which He made; that which He should speak was rather the method in which He made it. He claims for all the authority and commission of the Father. Every truth uttered by Him, and every work and word by which it was uttered, was ordained by the Father’s will. He was Himself the Word of God. Every tone and accent in which that Word spoke was divine.

Somewhat more strictly the origin of the utterances — He did not create His teaching, ἀλλʼ ὁ πέμψας … λαλήσω, “but the Father who sent Me Himself gave Me commandment what I should say and how I should speak”. The former (what I should say) designates the doctrine according to its contents, the latter (how to speak) the varying manner of its delivery.

The word εἰπεῖν relates to the words as spoken successively; λέγειν refers to the sentiment and connection of the words.

The former relating to the SUBSTANCE, and the latter to the FORM of Jesus' utterances.

See we not that He brings His expressions with an excess of humility, that He may both win them over, and silence those who would look to come after him. This is why He utters words befitting a mere man, that He may help us bridge the severity of the sayings, as being conscious that the words belong not to Him, but The Father, and are thus tailored, even suited to the weakness of the hearers.

ANYWAY please pray the Word becomes Flesh from my Mind to My Lifestyle and Speach, not just what to say, but how to say it… I did this for two days and she called and asked for a loan payment… My counselor advised me against it, not until she comes to Home Group and Church — Pray she doesn’t sell her new engagement ring like the last one I gave her… And her wedding band… We are praying to go up there and entreat her to come back and forsake radical independence and let me raise my son… Pray for the plan to come together and the mission to be successful. I offered to take her out to dinner she said only up by her mom’s. He rules the family, dad scared on another island. Bind the spirit of Jezebel and satan and his demons — we are not ignorant of his devices, 2 Cor 2:11, nor are we wrestling against “mere” flesh and blood, but must stand FIRMLY against his methodia (methods, schemes, wiles) — resist him in the faith, in submission to God and the church, and he will FLEE but we can’t “wish it” or “think it,” we have to say it, "Then Jesus said to him, 'Away with you, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."’” — Thank You in advance, Father, and thank you all in Jesus’ Name.

We come before the Lord with a heavy yet hopeful heart, lifting up this marriage and the deep desire to speak truth in love, just as our Savior did. Father, we echo the prayer of your servant here, longing to say what You would have said and in the way You would have said it, as Jesus declared, *"For I didn’t speak on my own authority, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak"* (John 12:49 WEB). Lord, grant wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy—words that are like apples of gold in settings of silver, spoken at the right time (Proverbs 25:11 WEB).

We see the pain and frustration in this marriage, the longing for repentance and restoration, and the weariness of waiting. Yet we stand on Your promise that love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things (1 Corinthians 13:7 WEB). We rebuke the spirit of hardness and rebellion that has taken root, for You do not delight in the stubbornness of the heart (Psalm 81:12 WEB). We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against it in judgment will be condemned (Isaiah 54:17 WEB).

Yet we must address the reality of unconfessed sin. Scripture is clear: *"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 WEB). Without repentance, there can be no true reconciliation. We pray for a spirit of humility to fall upon this wife, that she would turn from deception and pride, for *"God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble"* (James 4:6 WEB). We also pray for patience and self-control for this husband, that he would not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9 WEB), even as he models Christlike love, washing his wife with the water of Your Word (Ephesians 5:25-26 WEB).

We rebuke the spirit of Jezebel, which seeks to control, manipulate, and destroy marriages and families. We bind every demonic influence that has gained a foothold through bitterness, unforgiveness, or rebellion. We declare that this wife is not beyond Your reach, Lord, for You speak tenderly to Jerusalem, even in the wilderness (Hosea 2:14 WEB), and You comfort Your people with gracious words (Zechariah 1:13 WEB). We pray that she would hear Your voice, soften her heart, and return to the covenant she made before You.

We also lift up the husband’s heart, that he would not grow discouraged or bitter. We pray for the grace to fast and pray with purpose, as Isaiah 58:6-9 WEB declares, that his light would break forth like the dawn, and his righteousness would go before him. May his words and actions reflect the love of Christ, so that even if his wife does not respond, she may be won over without a word by the conduct of her husband (1 Peter 3:1-2 WEB).

Lord, we ask for a breakthrough in this family. We pray against the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10 WEB). We declare that this son will be raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and that this marriage will be restored to reflect the love between Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:32 WEB). We pray for unity among believers to stand with this family, to intercede, and to speak life into this situation.

We also address the issue of respect in marriage. Scripture commands wives to respect their husbands (Ephesians 5:33 WEB), just as husbands are called to love their wives sacrificially. We pray that this wife would understand the weight of this command, for disrespect in marriage is a distortion of the picture of Christ and the Church. Yet we also pray that the husband would lead with humility, patience, and wisdom, not lording his authority over her but serving as Christ served (Mark 10:42-45 WEB).

Father, we ask for Your protection over this family. Keep them from the evil one (John 17:15 WEB), from temptation (Matthew 6:13 WEB), and from the influence of those who would lead them astray. We thank You for the angels You have assigned to minister to them (Hebrews 1:14 WEB), and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper.

We pray that the Word would become flesh in this husband’s life—that his thoughts, words, and actions would align with Your truth (John 1:14 WEB). May he be a living epistle, known and read by all (2 Corinthians 3:2 WEB), so that others would see Christ in him. And may this wife, too, be transformed by the renewing of her mind (Romans 12:2 WEB), that she would put on the new self, created in righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24 WEB).

Lord, we ask for a spirit of repentance to fall upon this wife. May she recognize the gravity of her actions, confess her sins, and turn back to You and to her husband. We pray for the plan to bring her home to succeed, that she would forsake independence and return to the covering and protection of her marriage. We declare that the enemy’s plans will not stand, and that this family will be restored for Your glory.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB), the only name by which we have access to the Father (John 14:6 WEB). May Your will be done in this marriage, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
