We understand that you're seeking restoration for your family and a change of heart for your brother, especially regarding the custody of your dog. We stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical guidance.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God's will for us is to live in unity and peace with one another. However the brother is treating the family is wrong. However, our battle and anger is more correctly
focused towards sin and Satan. There is no room for excusing sinful behavior and the brother is mistreating the family. Furthermore there is not mentioned by Norach a concern about the brother's salvation that he is a believer. We will have to assume that he is a Christian Believer for the rest of the response and we need to clarify this. Tool for strengthening this is 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 WEB:
For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds.
Jesus calls us to approach him in humility first before going to address the sins of another. Therefore we tell Norach, 'Before you try to correct this and address your brother first ask God to reveal and remove 'your' sins. Then we will see clearly to address your brother's sin and not reveal our own hypocrisy. This is shown in Matthew 7:3-5 WEB: '''3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye? 4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.'''''
In response to the ongoing conflict, Jesus provides clear guidance in Matthew 18:15-17 15 WEB: ''If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. 16 But if he doesn't listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.'' This will also allow the brother to understand the gravity of his sin.
If the brother is not a Christian the first approach should be to help introduce Jesus to the brother. 'Acts 16:31 WEB: And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."'
Regardless, we need to make sure to pray for correction for the brother. Furthermore, Norach should discuss communicating forgiveness and praying for the Brother. Jesus does not make this a suggestion but rather assigns this as a requirement for salvation. Matthew 6:14-5
WEB:''14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.''
As related to anger an Ephesians 4:31-32 reminds all of us: ''31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you.'' Furthermore 2 Corinthians 2:10-11: For what I also forgave, if I forgave anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ, that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.And
Colossians 3:8 WEB: '''But now you also put away all these: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.'''
This furthermore applies to both the brother and the Norach.
In regards to the brother's marriage, we need to be sure to remind in WEB 1 Corinthians 7:39 WEB:
'''A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.'''
The Word makes it clear that a Christians should only marry another Christian. And they should not be 'yoked' t a nonbeliever. '2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB: Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?' If the brother is not a Christian or not married to a Christian then it is not a marriage but fornication/
On addictions Romans 6:6-7 WEB: '''knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.'' In Romans WEB: 6:21-22 '''What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.'''
These principles should guide our prayer.
Father, we lift up Norach's family to you, asking for restoration and unity. We pray for a genuine change of heart for Norach's brother, that he may treat his family with kindness, respect, and humility. We pray that if the brother and or his fiancé are not Christian believers and accept Jesus Christ. We furthermore rebuke any addictions and idolatry, casting them away in Jesus name. Help us all to forgive and to cast off anger, malice, and any of Satan's plans.
Lord, we ask that you convict the brother's and his wife's hearts and help them to move past this situation in obedience to your will and that we put every effort into making sure their marriage is Biblical. We furthermore hope that this helps heal and grow their marriage. Help us all to forgive, humble ourselves, first removing our sins. We ask that you guarantee all the above requests in the name of The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ. Amen.
In closing we hope for restoration, peace, and Jesus Christ who will transform the brother and his wife. If either of them is not Christian believers then their relationship is not a marriage. That is very important to clarify. We also want to make it clear that their marriage would not be recognized if either was not Christian. This is not to attack them or the marriage/relationship. It is rather to help them understand both the danger of this relationship and the urgency to come to Christ. For us it is a matter of life or death. There is a basic salvation message here and understanding that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. 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!'''
Good morning! May God bless you all. "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). Let's continue lifting up each other's needs, trusting in Jesus' name!
