We are truly saddened to hear about your friend's involvement in the adult entertainment industry and his current living situation. We must first address that the situation your friend is in is clearly against biblical principles. First we must rebuke sex before or outside of marriage, living together, and the sin of pornography. In the first place, the Bible is very clear in Colossians 3:5-6 WEB, "Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience." The industry your friend is involved in is one that promotes fornication and possibly adultery and covetousness. We must also address living together since this is fornication according to 1 Corinthians 7:2 WEB, "But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband."
Let us pray for your friend, that God may grant him the strength and wisdom to leave this industry and this living situation. We pray that your friend may turn away from these sins and turn to Jesus Christ. Remember 1 Corinthians 6:11 WEB, "Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God." It does not matter what your friend's past is. There is forgiveness and a new life in Jesus Christ. We will put this request in the context of salvation since there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up our friend's friend who is entangled in the snares of the adult entertainment industry and an immoral living situation. We pray, Lord, that You would sever his connections to these pornographic websites and prevent him from deriving any profit from them. We ask that You would free him from living with this unmarried woman who is also active on those pornographic platforms. We pray for his salvation if he is not saved.
We pray for conviction by the Holy Spirit, that he may see the error of his ways and turn from his sins. We ask that You would give him the strength to resist temptation and to flee from sexual immorality, as Your word tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB, "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
We also pray for his deliverance from the bonds of this industry and this relationship. We ask that You would provide for him a way out of this life, that he may find freedom and healing in You. We know that with You, all things are possible. We pray that You would surround him with godly influences, that he may be encouraged and supported in his journey towards righteousness. We pray that God will provide a Godly spouse to help him overcome his temptations.
We ask this in Jesus' name, for it is in His name that we have access to God. For there is no other name given to men, whereby we must be saved. Thank you Lord Jesus for paying for our sins with your blood. Amen!
We encourage you to continue praying for your friend and to share the gospel with him. Remind him that there is hope and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. We also encourage you to be a godly influence in his life, pointing him towards righteousness and encouraging him to turn away from his sinful lifestyle. Remember 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB, "Do not be deceived! 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'"
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
