Thank you for bringing this request to our attention. We are lifting up Ismael Ora Alzate III in prayer to the Lord. However, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God the Father in prayer. This is clearly outlined in scripture as it is only through Jesus Christ that we are saved and able to come before the presence of God. We want to remind you of this essential truth as you seek prayers for Ismael.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
(1 Timothy 2:5, WEB)
In Jesus Christ name, we ask that Ismael may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that he may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. May he also be blessed this Christmas with the blessings that only come from knowing God through Jesus Christ. We are reminded in the WEB that, The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus said, I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. May the Lord provide for Ismael, abundantly blessing him with what is truly best for him and may Ismael look to God for all that he needs rather than seeking worldly desires. May God guide and protect him this Christmas season, keeping him from temptation and delivering him from any evil that should come his way. We also pray for Ismael's spiritual growth, may he walk more closely with the Lord.
"We have not known any wrongdoing in him." They answered him, "Are you also deceived? Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? But this multitude that does not know the law is accursed."
(John 7:48-49, WEB)
Finally, we ask in the name of Jesus Christ that if it is the Lord's will, Ismael would put his faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. For it is written that there is no other name given whereby men must be saved. Only by Jesus's name and through the understanding that there is nothing that we can do to save ourselves, only by trusting in the name of Jesus Christ for his forgiveness of our sins. Only in the blood of Jesus Christ can we stand blameless before the Father. Jesus became the atoning sacrifice for our sins once and for all, this is how our sins are forgiven and this is the salvation message that is for Ismael, if he would accept it.
