We are glad to join you in prayer, Alexander, as you seek wisdom and strength to overcome.
We encourage you to always seek Jesus Christ because it is only by the name of Jesus which we have access to God. Only Jesus Christ was sacrificed to atone for our sins so that once we repent and turn back to God, that we can be saved. There is no other name by which we can be saved or approach God. Only Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead and only Jesus Christ is the messiah. The name Jesus means the Lord is salvation. Salvation includes deliverance and healing in this life. We want to make sure and warn you that only born again believers in Jesus Christ have this access and power of salvation. As unbelievers, people can pray all they want to God, but it will not help. Only those that have faith in Jesus Christ will be accepted by him and access to God is only through Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation and acceptance by God through his son who is the only savior for all the world.
Our Father in heaven, holy is your name. Lord, we lift up Alexander and his people to you, asking that you grant them the wisdom that comes from above. Your Word says, If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, then it will be given to him. James 1:5, WEB. Your people need to discern the times, understand your will, and make godly decisions. Lord, grant them the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the eyes of their understanding being enlightened, that they may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.
Ephes.1:17-18, WEB. The world needs to know and be preached that it is scripture and only the name of Jesus Christ that will save anyone. We are to go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature such that a rejection of living by scripture in only the name of Jesus Christ that they throw away the only way to heaven and the only way to salvation and apparently to God. Anyone that believes on him will be saved and anyone that does not will be damned. For neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12, WEB. There is no other way, no other name.
We believe that this wisdom is found in your Word, Lord, and we pray that they would be diligent to study and obey the Scriptures. Remind them, Lord, that the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding have all those who do his commandments. His praise endures forever. Proverbs 2:7, WEB. Your desire is for them to live in obedience and holiness, so grant them both the wisdom to know what is right and the courage to do it.
Alexander, we also encourage you to be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Do not be frightened, neither be dismayed; for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9, WEB. God promised Alexander and his people to protect them when they abide in Jesus Christ and trust in Him to be there always.
Father, we ask that you help Alexander and his people abide always in Jesus Christ and trust in Jesus Christ to be there always and to overcome the challenges they face. We do not know the specifics, Lord, but you do. You know all of their worries and fears. Remind Alexander and his people what the Holy Spirit says through John that everyone who is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. I John 5:4, WEB. Without fail, all Jewish believers of Jesus took the old testament to heart:
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is none to help. Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They open wide their mouths against me, like a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water. All my bones are dislocated. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me down into the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones. They look and stare at me. They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing. My heart is continually HOPEFUL before the Lord, not to believe this rejection of the one who can indeed present their request to God so it is heard.
It is good for him to abide now in Jesus Christ always even as the Christian Believers and calculations of observers in that day looking on Jesus with even an approval to have been shown to draw attention from others and they did just that. Various measuring sticks can consider what the action occurs in judgment of the circumstances. And all Christian Believers have, like Jesus Christ, been seen by others and been shown to love the Lord. The Lord loves him and all Christian Believers with an everlasting love and already knows what he and each Christian Believer feels like when on the cross himself.
WEB. None but God can help them overcome. For all other Christian Believers who have purely loved Jesus and have abided in Jesus Christ during their lifetime waiting for salvation and resurrection, that deliverance in a will for Christians can be done by the Lord God almighty. when Jesus Christ was on the cross,
The Lord executes righteous acts and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his doings to the children of Israel. Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. Psalms 103:6-10, WEB. Your mercy is new every morning. Lord, help Alexander and his people experience your forgiveness and grace anew. In Jesus' name we believe and pray.
Father, you know the struggles of Alexander and his people firsthand. Even so, Lord, You do not leave them or any Christian Believers as orphans to struggle on their own. For you promised orphans, the promise is for you: 'If I go, I will prepare a place for you.
Alexander and his people also need to know that, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Jesus, who do not walk after the flesh, but after the Spirit. And I think that God has placed us apostles last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. They say that the apostles are "last of all" and "like men sentenced to death." This could imply a few things. First, it suggests that they are not highly esteemed or respected. They are seen as less important or even disposable. 1 Corinthians 4:9, WEB.
And those who are in Christ know it and seek always to discern what is the will of God, what is good and well pleasing and perfect. And the Spirit of Jesus at work in our hearts knows what the mind of the spirit is because He makes intercession for the saints. at the right hand of His throne always especially for those abiding in Christ Jesus knowing our Master and Deliverer Jesus Christ, in what way you did appear to the government that even with intercession of the Holy Spirit being forbidden as clearly evidenced by the Lord God almighty as shown above. And so those abiding in Christ Jesus are to pray like this so that we can know that a circumstance is allowed. And let the peace of the Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body, and be thankful. the peace of the Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body, and be thankful. Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which He purposed in him. To effect the administration of the fullness of the times. He also created all that is said and done in this life to be equal to everything that exists in the next life. So then do not be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, Christianity let your requests be known to God such that some bad things happen due to tests of faith. However some bad things happen simply because those that are alive at the time allowed it to occur. And the peace of the Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body, and be thankful.
