Update #1 by David at 3:34 am on Mon 4/6/2026 (Kindly read to bottom)... Arrived at Church: Saw Son 1 Minute (happy to see me and was showing me things, musical instruments), Matrimonial Left AGAIN Immediately after Church -- as soon as was around corner Had relative take her to a different nearby town...
So that pretty much closes out this chapter of my life — my home group leader admitted I have done the best I could… This person has no fear of God, respect for Him, His Word, Pastors, her husband — nor does her family. Be discerning and do not take a “testimony” but inspect a life serving God in the field for a substantial amount of time before becoming involved — I was deceived, so now I pray and fast for discernment and freedom from deception — it’s possible to be deceived, or Jesus would not have told us, “See to it no one deceives you,” Matt 24:4. ###, His beloved Apostle reiterates in several places in different ways:
1 John 3:7, “Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.”
“And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. But the one who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed as having been performed in God,” John 3:19-21.
I commit her soul over to God and we’ll see what He will do, but I have to be about our Father’s Business. Thank you in Jesus’ Name
***There was just another earthquake right near the city to which she stole my son and ran away to -- I literally 3 minutes after I had just told her the Lord will discipline those He loves, Prov 3:12, Heb 12:6, and repeated the Lord Jesus Christ's words in Rev “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches., ” Revelation 3:19-20, 21-22...
I am pleading with her using both the kindness of the "soft and gentle voice" used to call Elijah, AND the severity of warnings... The LORD is even giving physical signs...
Behold BOTH the kindness AND the severity of The Lord, Rom 11:22 -- please pray I can show both, Ecc 7:18, and continue in His kindness...
Original Prayer Request
Effort of Love Displayed Graciously Reconciles Us & God, 2 Cor 5:20, 🚐 Traveling to Her & Son, Favor, Ps 5:12, Safety, Ps 34:7
🙏 Conduct myself with wisdom toward outsiders, gracious speech, Col 4:5-6. So even though my home group leaders and their pastors say, "I've done everything I can" -- I can't shake the fact that I can do more -- The Lord spoke "Gentleness" to me... I will take a van up there tin a few hours to see them at church and give my son some toys, offer to take them to lunch — maybe seeing me make the journey and God blesses the love songs I send, grants me favor as a shield and moves and honors the step of faith I make to demonstrate love, "God demonstrates and proves His own love for us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, Rom 5:8...
Please ask for power on the Word of God preached today, love in worship songs and that the presence of God melts her heart. Please pray she has grace to humble herself, forgive freely, and heed the advice from me, Eph 5:33, pastors, Heb 13:17, the Bible, 2 Tim 3:16, and finds grace FROM THE EASTER MESSAGE to forgive, Eph 4:32 -- for the sake of the picture of Christ and the church, Eph 5:32 -- as I confessed my "righteous anger" not excusing, repenting) went to far -- but I've confessed over 10 times -- probably 15... May God forgive me -- I kept a record of wrongs, 1 Cor 13:5, and it was triggered, forgetting what lies behind, Phil 3:13, but confessed it, that she'd find grace to forgive 70X7 times, Matt 18:22 -- that you'd "increase her faith, Luke 17:4-5, and not allow the evil one to take one mistake and invalidate months of prayer, fasting, forgiveness, intercession from others and suffering for the sake of righteousness...
As always, let's speak Jesus' Name as powerful and having all authority, binding the strong man, Matt 12:29, resisting the devil, firm in faith, 1 Pet 5:8, -- Name ABOVE all names... Eph 1:19-20, 21; Phil 2:9, James 4:7, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail, Matt 16:18, in the Authority Jesus' Name, (ALL authority in heaven and earth), Matt 28:18, Amen.
Also that my son warms up to me quickly -- I have all his toys, but he'll love the giver more than the gifts -- thank you in Jesus' Name... "Behold I will send you The Spirit of Elijah, who will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the children's hearts back to the fathers," Mal 4:5-6,
"Let it be known this day that I'm Your servant, have done all these things at Your command. Answer me, O LORD, that the people will know that I have done these You are GOD, and that YOU have turned their hearts back again, 1 Kings 18:36-37. Help me "Lead the Way," Amen, In Jesus' Name.
