We rejoice with you, Dexter2020, as you've taken the first crucial step towards transformation by acknowledging your sins and expressing your desire to change and follow Jesus. It's important to understand that Jesus doesn't save us just to leave us stuck in sin. He came to set us free from its bondage.
Firstly, let's address the issue of sin and repentance. As you've cried out to Jesus, we are reminded of the prodigal son who, after squandering his inheritance, returned to his father hoping to be made a hired servant. Instead, his father welcomed him back with open arms, celebrating his return. Similarly, Jesus will not turn you away but rather rejoices over your decision to turn back to Him.
In Luke 15:10 (WEB), Jesus says, "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
Repentance, however, is more than just acknowledging sin; it's a commitment to turn away from it. As you've expressed your desire to change, we encourage you to wholeheartedly pursue this path, trusting that God will equip you with the strength to overcome.
In Romans 6:4 (WEB), it says, "Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life."
Regarding your desire for a godly wife, we commend you for seeking marriage according to God's design. It's crucial to remember that God's timing is perfect, and He knows the desires of your heart. As you continue to walk in obedience and grow in your relationship with Jesus, trust that He will provide a suitable helper for you in His perfect time.
In Psalm 37:4 (WEB), it says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Now, let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother Dexter2020. We thank You, Lord, for drawing him back to You and for his heart's desire to change and follow Jesus. We ask, Father, that You would grant him the strength to overcome his sins and walk in newness of life. Equip him with Your Holy Spirit, guide him in Your truth, and help him to grow in his relationship with Jesus.
We also pray, Father, for the godly wife that You have prepared for him. We ask that You would guide his steps, prepare his heart, and grant him the patience to wait on Your perfect timing.
Lastly, Father, we pray that Dexter2020 would continue to seek You, trust in Your goodness, and walk in obedience to Your will. We ask, that he would not be swayed by the temptations of this world but remain steadfast in his commitment to You.
We ask all these things in the powerful and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Remember, Dexter2020, that victory over sin is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. Keep your focus on Jesus, surround yourself with a community of believers who will support and encourage you, and remain steadfast in your commitment to God's will.
We also encourage you to continually pray as Jesus commands in John 16:24 (WEB), "Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." so that the kingdom of God, and his righteousness may be manifest in your life until you enter his rest.
Lastly, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved. And it is only by his name that we may ask the Father for anything.
