We rejoice with you, Anonymous, in the restoration and blessings you've experienced. It's clear that you've seen positive changes in your life, and we give all praise to God for His goodness toward you. We will pray with you and offer some biblical guidance. First, let's address the heart of your request. Remember, always ask for things in Jesus name.
God has promised us that He will restore the years that the locust have eaten, absolutely every single thing that the Devil was able to get back from us. In Joel 2:25 WEB, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you."
We appreciate your joy in discovering vintage records, feeling loved, and expressing gratitude. These are genuine blessings. It is true that God your time is precious and no one should waste this resource. Look at Ephesians 5:16 WEB which says, "making the most of the time, because the days are evil."
Any sentiment about the Devil and his crew losing is wonderful. We should think this way, because Jesus already won victory. We know that you are desiring communication with your physical family as well. This should always be desired. Your belief in God using the blood of Christ to make things permanently part of existence is wonderful. It is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we can have access to God. You can read in Hebrews 10:19 WEB we have, "having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus." It is great that you mention this, because there is salvation in no other name.
However, you need discernment in the language you use. Remember to be constructive and gracious just like the Lord. In Ephesians 4:29 WEB, we read, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." This verse is instructive. When we speak, we should ensure our words are edifying, beneficial, and grace-filled because we can be heard by others. Even if you think Satan is causing problems this can cause others to copy your language and attitudes, so your speech has to point towards the Love of God. When you speak in victory, you should always do so in Love so others can see God through you.
Additionally, a request was seen about going on dates. Be cautious with what you pursue. In I Corinthians 13:4-13 WEB, we hear "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." This is the same love that should be demonstrated in all of your relationships. Love can only be pointed back at Jesus Christ. Why not point to Him?
In Psalm 37:4 WEB says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." When we are truly delighting ourselves in the Lord and living according to His will, He does give us the desires of our heart, because those desires will be aligned with His perfect plan for our lives.
Let's pray together
Almighty Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, thanking You for the restoration and blessings you've bestowed upon Anonymous. We're to boldly approach the throne of grace to find help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 WEB) We thank you God.
In Jesus name, we rebuke the influence of the Devil. In James 4:7 WEB, we read, "Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." This is the attitude that we should all have towards our enemy because of the confidence which we have in you Jesus.
Thank you, God, for the gifts of Anonymous. Your gifts are something of our faith in God. We read in James 1:17 WEB, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow."
Thank you Jesus for the restoration of Anonymous's soul, the sanctification of her mind, body, and spirit. Your word revealed in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 WEB showed us, "May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
As for family, Jesus tells us in 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB, "But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever." Your word, first dealing with family before it is shared outside the family.
Father, we ask that you guide Anonymous in all wisdom and love as she seeks your will for her life, especially when dating. Let her seek a Christian spouse rather than just a companion. We ask that you open doors for godly relationships and a marriage that honors you, to be fulfilled if it be Thy Will.
To Your glory Jesus, we ask that you remind Anonymous that the joy of marriage and your will for an earthly spouse, are only a reflection of your deep love for your church, because earthly marriage acts exactly to model the love that Christ have for the church. We see this written in Ephesians 5:25-27 WEB, "Husband, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." Praise God. Amen.
Depart in Peace.
