Praises, Updates, Prayer Requests...

[Intercessor]

Thank you for all of you who prayed for us. Here are a few updates, some pressing needs and an overall vibe of how things are going… We moved back to within 25 mins of my wife’s family, got a place on the sea (no waves, just tide in and out, but beautiful sunsets… Local kids around 8-11 have all come to call me uncle (open doors for gospel, may they be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit before teenagers since teenagers have a Very High rate of pregnancy and even homosexuality here in the Philippines). We have been feeding them 2 - 3 meals a day at up to 9 local kids so please pray for provision since I am living off savings and can’t collect SSI for 5 years 2 months. Wife spending more time with family which is both a blessing and a curse. They are all single moms depending on checks from their ex-husbands or partners (5 of them) while raising kids with zero discipline who are absolutely spoiled without fathers, that do not “honor their father or mother that it may go well with them and they live a long life on the earth" (Eph 6:1-3). Please ask my wife who left our place on the Pacific Ocean after I invested considerable money on AirCon, Freezers, Solar Lighting, Fences, Generators, Generator Hook-ups and double security deposits 1 month early (broke lease w/o 30 day notice)is not influenced by her sisters. She is pregnant and there seems to be a curse to live independently of men and breed spoiled children. Please ask this curse is broken and she acquires “the attitude of the righteous” (Luke 1:17). She has never worked nor supported herself and therefore has absolutely no understanding of money: we blew through almost half of my retirement while in the Philippines, a feat that is very hard to equal except for those like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckenberg, The Rockefellers, Daddy Warbucks or Jeff Bezos. Much of the mis-spending is due to not consulting me or making plans with me before big decisions (although small and medium decisions are often found out by me after the fact). For instance, she HAD to live near her parents for 1 month JUST after we paid two months up front and a security deposit on the ocean prior to our wedding and then I had to spend a considerable amount to live near her parents that month PLUS the big wedding and et cetera. Yes, I made a dumb choice, I regret it deeply. Neither of us wanted children at all — I being over 50 and she being wholly unable to take care of herself yet alone another — but she refused “birth control pills” because “she knows her body” and her “sister got yellow patches from the pill.” Thus, her decision has me in a serious predicament since I only have enough for two, and much less due to her spending habits and improper planning. I ask she respect me and God’s proper biblical order as I will not live letting a young woman without much common sense or practical/fiscal experience run my life and do not want to raise a spoiled brat she’d probably put me in jail if I discipline him or her. May God who knows the plans he has for my life prosper me and not harm me, and may I be protected from the evil one and I don’t even know how or what to pray for as I ought (Rom 8:26) and work all things together for good since I love Him and according to His purpose am called (Rom 8:28). I gave her 4 new front teeth -- may she start brushing them daily and using mouthwash -- I need 4 new teeth myself but took care of her needs before mine (not a hero, but Bible says prefer the interests of others, Phil 2:4). Thank you in Jesus’ Name

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the prayers and support we have received. We thank You for the blessings and the challenges that have come our way. Lord, we lift up our current situation to You, seeking Your divine intervention and guidance.

We praise You for the opportunity to move closer to my wife's family and for the beautiful place by the sea that You have provided. We ask that You continue to open doors for the Gospel among the local children who have come to call me uncle. May these young hearts be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit before they reach their teenage years, protecting them from the high rates of pregnancy and homosexuality prevalent in the area. We pray for Your provision as we feed these children, trusting that You will supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory .

Lord, we lift up my wife and her family. We ask for Your wisdom and strength as she spends more time with them. We pray for the single mothers in her family, that they may find their strength and provision in You. Help them to raise their children with discipline and honor, as Your Word commands in Ephesians 6:1-3. We ask that any negative influences be removed and that my wife is not swayed by her sisters. Break any curses that may be affecting our family, and grant her the attitude of the righteous, as described in Luke 1:17.

Father, we also pray for financial wisdom and stewardship. Help my wife and me to make decisions together, consulting each other and seeking Your guidance in all things. We ask for Your protection over our finances and for the restoration of what has been lost.

We trust in Your unfailing love and provision, and we ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
