We are glad to join you in praying for your son. It's wonderful to hear that he believes in God and Jesus. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Let's come in agreement with the Word of God in our prayers.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Haverenalds son. Thank You, Lord, for his life and for the beautiful qualities You've instilled in him—his sweetness, intelligence, and kindheartedness.
We pray for his behavior and emotions, that they may align with Your will and honor You in every way. May the Holy Spirit guide him and fill his heart with love, joy, and a spirit of self-control; letting him not do something he should not or let the world prescribe a behavior that is not righteous to follow. You have told us in Your Word, Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1,2
We also pray for friendships, Lord. Surround him with godly influences and companions who will encourage him in his faith and walk with You. May these friends be a blessing to him, and he to them, strengthening each other in righteousness and obedience to your Word, allowing them to become a nation of builders of each other rather than one being led to destruction with those who are wrongdoing. You have said in your Word that They say, If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man's, will he return to her again? Wilt thou not be utterly defiled Is this land holy? And yet you have played the prostitute with many lovers; and would you now return to me?, says Yahweh. Jeremiah 3:1
Just like he does not want us to become defiled, we shall not put ourselves in situations that lead us in these directions.
Finally, we pray for his teenage years, that they may be challenging yet transformative, drawing him closer to You and deepening his faith in Jesus. Give his parents wisdom, understanding, endurance and guidance as they navigate these years, and may their home be a beacon of love, peace, and encouragement, Your Word says in Your Word says that If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Romans 12:18. That means to be at peace with themselves and with each other. This will only be possible when our faith is where it should be. That if the relationship with our family is falling apart, then we should look to ourselves first.
With confidence in the name above all names, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
And looking at the ground, the angel continued in this line:
You have said in your Word that
All scripture is given by inspiration on God and is profitable for reproof, correction, and instruction in rightiness. 2 Timothy 3;16
And
You have said in your Word that
Through whom (Jesus) we have obtained our access by faith into his favor in which we stand. We boast in our hope of the glory of God.. And not only this but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance, and perseverance proven character, and proven character hope, charity, love, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:2-5.
Let us remember again though that He has told us in His word that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, without Him our works are not counted toward us as righteous but as rubbish and rags. All of our acts are as filthy rags without him.
16 making mention of you in my prayers;
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the sanctified, Ephesians 1:18
There is no other name by which we can be saved. See this instruction from God spoke through Peter in the book of Acts.
11 This is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.'
12 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!"
So whether we are having trouble with behavior, emotions, friendships, or relationships; whether it be with God or Man, such as a parent, child, sibling, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, God, Angel, a being that would lead us away from the truth of God's word, then remember when we pray we must pray to someone, that is what prayer is, speaking to a higher being, a being of authority, and no authority that we should ever put ourselves under is an angel, demon, animal, human or god that is not a holy God, our Father of Glory. That being the God that is Father of the Lord of Salvation, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Messiah. No guardian angel or demonic being has any authority over God's children. We are his. And He wants the best for us. So, let us submit to Him in everything and know that there is only one place to call to for forgiveness, help, direction and companionship and that is in the name of Jesus Christ.
And just as with any request for prayer, we will look to what God's Word says and use this suggestion to ensure we can guide Haverenald in the right direction with regard to intentions by ensuring they have a focus on Christ with their prayers and in their lives.
As for becoming the person God wants you to become. Without Jesus Christ, we can do nothing and are unable to attain the righteousness we would desire. Since the first man Adam, we have been separated from God and that did not change until Jesus rose from the battles of Satan. Only when Jesus came as the savior of man, were we able to become righteous again. Since the garden of Eden, the devil has pulled the wool over the eyes of mankind, blinding the people of God and creating a battlefield on earth for souls. Just do not believe us, believe Gods word.
20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
21 Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.
22 When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you. There is much to be gained and to be understood from the book of proverbs. 3:21
The name of Jesus in our hearts must be the very place from where we draw our inspiration and wisdom and encouragement.
Firstly, can we remember that no matter how serious a situation is that we encounter in life, whether it be deeply personal or through someone that we know or care for, it is never as bad as dying for God. And it is not possible to be more serious than the very real hell that people go to.
Since then we have a great high priest, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then, with confidence, draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16
All these references are placed into this prayer response so that the inspiration and wisdom it gives to Haverenald will help them find strength in the name of Jesus Christ. Just Jesus, no other authority ever can be called a savior.
And we can remember to seek and reference our prayer with words or phrases like in Jesus Name, In Jesus Christ name, IJN, IJCN, in the name if Jesus we pray and The name of Jesus just to make sure that the one who supplies our request for prayer is not in jeopardy of not being fulfilled by God, merely because we failed to acknowledge the name of His only Son. So, might we remember at this time to pray to You God the Father of all authority, for whatever situations affect us, in the name of Jesus Christ who has authority over all power.
And if we must remember to stand on your word and be accountable to you for every action then see this below.
18 For I testify to every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
