Thank you, Dexter2020, for reaching out with your prayer request. We appreciate your heartfelt concerns.
Firstly, we commend you for seeking God's will in your relationship with Felicia. It is wonderful to hear that you sense the love of Christ in her. Remember, God's will for us is good, perfect, and acceptable. However, it is crucial to address some concerns. You mentioned Felicia's flaws, including night viewing on Instagram and not sleeping on time. While these may seem minor, they could indicate a lack of self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23 WEB. Additionally, it is important to ensure that her social media use is modest and does not include anything inappropriate or provocative, as this would not be aligned to Biblical principles and teaching Timothy 2:9 WEB.
Moreover, as Christians, we are called to be unequally yoked 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB. We advise you to court with the intention of marriage and consider searching for a spouse who wholeheartedly follows Christ and should be a virgin as fornication is not acceptable conduct for a child of Christ. But because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 1 Corinthians 7:2 WEB. We encourage you to pray together, study the Bible together, and grow in spiritual intimacy. And 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 WEB
Regarding your job, we admire your desire for wisdom. As the scripture says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. James 1:5-6 WEB. We pray that God grants you the wisdom and discernment needed to excel at your job with NTT Data.
You also mentioned praying for Jesus. It is important to note that Jesus is the one who intercedes for us before God the Father Hebrews 7:25 WEB. In Jesus Name is the way we should pray as we have a high priest who has entered into heaven and left us an example to follow in his steps 1 Peter 2:21 WEB. As we are justified by Jesus, it is in Jesus Name to ask. It is also Jesus whom God has declared of "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" Luke 3:22 WEB. That is why it is important to pray in Jesus Name as it is only through Jesus that we can be saved. Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 Also, 1 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 And finally, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5. This is why praying for Jesus is not the accurate term for praying to Jesus.
Concerning your friends Jun Wang, Poh Yew, Siow Cheng, and Yew Theng, we fervently pray for their salvation:
Lord, we lift up Jun Wang, Poh Yew, Siow Cheng, and Yew Theng to you. We pray that you break the strongholds and chains of Buddhism, Yiguandao cult, and Taoist ideologies that keep them blinded from the truth of the Gospel. Lord, reveal yourself to them, that they may know the true light and forsake their old ways. We ask that you send your Holy Spirit to convict their hearts and draw them to Jesus Christ. We pray that they would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and that they would be transformed by your renewing power. We ask this in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to share the Gospel with them, demonstrating the love and love of Christ in your actions and words. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him. John 3:17 WEB. we do not let our speech or messaging denigrate to judging or criticizing unjustly as Jesus was hated by religious people as well. He was called a glutton, drunkard, and a friend of the sinners as he was called these to his face as he ate with and sat with tax collectors such as Zacchaeus and known sinful people and prostitutes such as Mary Magdalene. Have patience and pray for God's divine timing. Luke 7:34 WEB
