We appreciate your heartfelt prayer and your stand on biblical principles. We will address your concerns and provide guidance based on the Word of God.
Firstly, we commend you for turning to Jesus Christ in your time of need. It is only through His name that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
Regarding the issue you mentioned, it is clear that the situation involves immorality and deceit, which are strongly condemned in the Bible. You have rightly pointed out that homosexuality is a sin according to Scripture. The Bible clearly teaches that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. Any relationship outside of this design, including same-sex relationships listed in the texts you have cited, is considered immoral and against God's will. The person you mentioned has not only engaged in this sin but has also added deceit and fraud to cover it up. This is against the command that Christians should be people of truth and integrity, as it is written in Ephesians 4:25 WEB:
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
In dealing with this situation, it is essential to approach it with both truth and love. We must stand firm on biblical principles and not condone sin, but we should also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil. As it is written in Ephesians 6:12-13 WEB:
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
We should pray for this person and rebuke the evil spirits that may be influencing her actions. We should also be ready to share the truth in love, as it is written in Ephesians 4:15 WEB:
But speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in need of Your guidance and wisdom. We thank You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness, even in the most challenging circumstances.
Lord, we ask that You grant our brother/sister the courage and wisdom to address this situation with both truth and love. Help them to stand firm on Your Word and not be swayed by the deceit and immorality that has been committed. Open the eyes of the person who has engaged in this sin, and convict their heart to turn away from their wicked ways and repent.
We rebuke the evil spirits that may be influencing this situation, and we command them to flee in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We ask that You surround our brother/sister with Your protection and guidance, and that You give them the strength to endure this trial and come out victorious.
Father, we also pray for the person who has committed this sin. We ask that You soften their heart and draw them to Yourself, that they may come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and be set free from the bondage of sin and deceit.
In all things, Lord, we ask that Your will be done and that You be glorified. We thank You for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to answer according to Your perfect will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is crucial to stay grounded in the Word of God and to seek His will in all things. Do not be swayed by the world's standards, but stand firm on the unchanging truth of God's Word. Continue to pray and trust in the Lord, and He will guide you through this challenging situation.
In Jesus name we give you this advice and pray for you.
