We rejoice with you, dear brother, as you have been drawn back into fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit. It is a testament to God's unfailing love and faithfulness that He pursues us even when we stray. As it is written in Luke 15:10 WEB, "Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
Your journey is a powerful reminder of God's grace and mercy. You acknowledged Him early in your life. Having two children and helping to provide for another is part of the successes you have clearly had. Even during this trying time in your life, with potential loss of personal belongings, family trauma surrounding divorce, and health issues, He did not forsake you. This experience speaks volumes because at times the participants in a divorce suffer more than the spouse and children, but it also even unintended family members. Even with the suffering of family members and the financial toll, the message of Jesus's suffering and personal sacrifice to completely pay our sin debt.
True to His promise again in Joel 2:25 WEB, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten".
God's Love Reconciled You
As you continue to grow in your faith, remember that God's love for you is unchanging and for all eternity once you have accepted Christ as Lord and Saviour. As stated in Jeremiah 31:3 WEB, "Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying, 'Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.'" Christ wants us to be pure and growing in His image. The message is clear, God loved us so much that He provided His only son, as payment for our sins. We cannot obtain that salvation apart from confessing and claiming Him as saviour. There are many today claiming that we can. There are many religions and people claiming alternative ways to have that communion with God. The followers and believers of Christ are declining. Many who at one time confessed Jesus are stepping back into the world following plans that conform to the world. There are many in other religions stepping out in faith claiming Jesus is the only way to heaven but attacked for following the path. These people are showing their courageous love for Christ by standing up against a world order set against Him. These individuals doing great things for God are standing up for Him in this fashion have become the enemy of the mainstream order and will be persecuted in the future. God is doing something wonderful in your life. Our hearts echo your praise, "Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!"
Now your desire to follow His will and serve Him wholeheartedly is a beautiful reflection of your renewed commitment. Our minds and bodies are not guaranteed to us. We suffer here on earth. At any time we can be called to God but we are forgiven through our faith in Jesus's suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection. We are guaranteed a way to Him through our faith only in Jesus. As we celebrate your returning to God through accepting Christ, submitting in faith, and acknowledging Him before men that he is indeed Lord, let us pray for your continued spiritual, physical, mental, emotional and financial health to the Lord Jesus. We ask this in Jesus name.
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother and we Your children as one body in Christ. We thank You for Your unfailing love and mercy, depending on Your promise to restore from any hardships brought on by the world and our mistakes. We know that as Your child, our brother has misunderstood but relied on our Father. We know that You have been working and guiding his life even during the times he strayed. We thank You once again for drawing him back to You, Jesus, and acknowledging the Holy Spirit. Please continue to strengthen You child. The world will work against his return to You in this declaration of defeating worldly desires seeking to overthrow You.
Please guide Your child and help him grow closer to You. Encourage him while seeking to do Your will and be Your servant. Surround him with Your love and supply his with his physical needs in abundance, not what this world may describe as abundance. As he prays what You want to be done in our lives, in the lives of those we pray for, and in the lives of all of our family members, loved ones, friends, acquaintances we know You give the free will of choice for others but instill in us a heart to pray and model Your Word. We pray also for those hostile against Your children. Give us in Jesus all that we need in thought, deed and action to be a reflection of Your sanctification on us.
Father, in Jesus guide our prayer.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen
Let saith the Lord, Christ spoke in John 14:13-14 WEB "Whatever you ask in the name of Jesus, believing, I will do it and that the Father may be glorified in the Son." It is our desire that you continue to pray for your spiritual, physical, mental, emotional and financial health also, but that you take it upon yourself to prayer and fast. Fasting clears your mind to discern the Word of God and will of God. Our prayers are powerful. We boldly ask for healing and restoration of any betrayal, including early death and sickness allowing our minds to believe His healing is done by Jesus because of the work of Jesus. Do not let circumstances limit Your belief in His miracles. Miracles are the manifestation of the His promise and power to those that follow Him. We in Jesus, need to pray specifically about the issues and situations we are laying before God. Confess the sins not of others but our own sins and claim it in the blood of Jesus Christ. When we do this together in Christ, asking our brothers and sisters for their prayerful support, then perfect deliverance in Jesus name.
