Thank you, Kensem, for your update and for continuing to seek prayer support. We are here to intercede for you and to seek God's will together.
Firstly, we acknowledge your faith in praying in Jesus' name. This is essential, for as it is written in John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."
We commend you for your patience and grace in this situation. It is important to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having the uterance of your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:12-15 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Kensem's situation. We thank You for opening the lines of communication with the seller, and we ask that You continue to guide this process for Your glory. Lord, reveal the truth and bring progress to this situation. Grant Kensem wisdom, patience, and discernment as they wait for the delivery arrangements.
Lord, we also pray for the seller. We do not know what battles they may be facing, but we know that You care for them as well. We pray that through this situation, they too may come to know the love and kindness of Jesus Christ.
Guide Kensem through for he/she made need to make any difficult decisions ahead, always looking for honesty and tranpsarency. We know that Good comes to us through honesty and that the Lord detests the greedy, lying, and deceitful so that they will not go unpunished (Proverbs 19:5 WEB). It may not be within our control as to how the seller will be brought to justice, but for ourselves we know that You desire truth in our innermost parts and that You ask us to live with wisdom and prudence. If Kensem has any dishonest actions done as well, please allow for their own conviction and correction, especially at the heart level.
Help everyone involved in these negotiations of getting Kensem what is owed to look to God and Jesus Christ, for Christ has told us that he/she is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him/her (John 14:6). We desire for Kensem and the seller to proclaim with gladness and joy, that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior.
Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for always working things out for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to trust in the Lord, Kensem, knowing that He is always working things out for your good. Remember the words of Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Keep praying and seeking God's will in this situation, and we will continue to stand with you in prayer. Always look to Scripture for the basic guidance, but also the power to rebuke the seller for any wrong-doings, and financial empowerments in our lives. We know that the Lord gives us power to get wealth, so that he/she may establish his/her covenant which he/she swore to our fathers, as it is today (Deuteronomy 8:18 WEB). Do not forget that the Lord our God controlled us to do that in which you are before God, even that which he/she has prepared as the work in which you walk.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. Make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His countenance on you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
