Praise Report Regarding 🕊️Video Time w/Son. 🙌 Thank You that I have had contact through video the last few days. Thank You that as much in us is able, we forgive her and been praying for her as Job prayed for his friends, Job 42:10-16, for keeping my son from videoing with me then (months of his life I barely got to see him during that time) -- and though I'll never get that back -- I have some consolation now and know You are good, and he has some benefit by sensing relationship, love and seeing me. Father I thank You love us and we are examples of You to an extent, Eph 5:1, in showing You to our offspring... Thank You as I kNOW You will continue to work things together for good, Rom 8:28, after the counsel of Your will, Eph 1:11, and that the end of The LORD's dealings are good, James 5:11, to give us a hope and a future, Jer 29:11.
I am asking she will do two things, 1) Call earlier and not 2am or 4am, but late evening, more like 10pm so I may have more of a daytime schedule in my location. 2) That she comes to agree to a financial amount that is more appropriate to his needs, not an exorbitant exploitation of a foreigner's finances. I am more than willing to contribute and help support legitimate needs, even graciously, yet hesitant to further a prodigal and exorbitant lifestyle that is in essence opposite of what the Word of God, my pastors, praying believers and clear conscience dictates as necessary or needed. I also would request grace for this to work out quickly and easily as You are able to do everything, and with You nothing is impossible. I sense Your activity in this all, even the conversations and their length, and ask for continued favor, mercy, grace and protection on this communication, my heart and theirs, and that I yield to 1 Cor 7:15, letting the unbeliever go, I am not bound to her anymore but free, and You have called us to peace. Help me go through the proper channels and may it seem like but a few days to me as You did for Jacob, Gen 29:20.
Help me bear the other crosses of "passive aggressiveness," "silence" and "pictures and videos" sent to others and taken with others, "suggestive online profiles"and "meeting men at various locations" -- May the trained counsellors who wanted us to come aside and give us guidance and accountability continue to pray for her and the youngster, safety and blessing… But I concede again she has free will, "But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God, not being baptized by John themselves," Luke 7:30.
Yet do continue to pray you have mercy and take away “false security” of eternal life and turn her from being "secure in her sins." Allow her 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. Please use her church, preaching, teaching, bring others into her path to warn her and gently correcter, use any and every means to bring her to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9, Acts 17:30...
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 way of life -- 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…
