We are thrilled to join you in prayer and celebrate the blessings in your life. However, we need to address a few things before we begin according to the procedures outlined above. First, notice that the name of Jesus was not mentioned. TheGLOBALChurch declares that It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. Also, we see issues that need to be addressed in the request according to the instructions outlined above.
As a community that stands on biblical principles, we believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between Christians of one man and one woman, as outlined in the Bible. We encourage you to pursue a relationship that aligns with these principles. First, let us address the pregnancy. Having sex before marriage is fornication and is addressed in the scripture (1 Cor. 6:14). Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
We lift your unborn child to the Lord, asking for His protection and blessings. We pray for the child's health and growth, and for guidance for you and your fiancé as you prepare to be parents. However, notice that you are referring to the father of your child as partner, not a husband as a fiance. This is in violation of God's word regardless of how others might judge and call it legal. Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world (Romans 12:2). Notice that interpretation was changed by the supreme court to legitimize it but it is sin nonetheless.
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. If you have a marriage license, it is for a husband and wife. You would have had a civil license for people legally calling themselves partners.
Now concerning the matter about which you wrote: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." 2 But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render to the wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to the husband. You should follow this counsel if your fiance is man. If partner is referring to a homosexual relationship then it is still sin (1 Corinthians 6:9). 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (1 Corinthians 7:1-4). It is clear in the scripture the plan for marriage. If your fiance is a female you are both abmoming what God created you to be and we would much rather direct you gently back to God's path rather than refer to it as marriage.
Not giving thanks to God, 22 claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. 25 For they traded the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error. 28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting. (Romans 1:21-28).
Now you may be wondering how to interpret God's Word in 1 Corinthians 7. I, the writer of the documents given here writes this and when having done a lot of studying of God's character including the Study Bibles of John Macarthur and Wayne Grudem.
Now a quick note, read what St. Paul has to say in 1 Corinthians 7:5. You may read this and take this as justification for swinging which is what some claim the Bible says with other people but it does not and this is what Paul was getting at.
Next, let us address the matter of your fiancé's well-being. We pray for his strength and resilience as he navigates his workload. Sex outside marriage is fornication which the Bible forbids even if one is engaged. We know that God will equip him with the tools needed to handle the stress and overwhelming feelings he may be experiencing. We do pray for needs but please notice how the Epistle of James addresses this. You simply ask according to 1 John 5:12-14 repeating here for clarity.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life. 13I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. (1 John 5:12-14).
So let us pray that your boyfriend may learn obedience from what he is suffering. Regarding "quick sale of his car", as Brothers and Sister in Christ we do not understand why because there is no more detail.
Of course you would like to request this assistance from God, but let's re-evaluate, is your boyfriend or fiance asking God what His or the Holy Spirit's purpose is for the sale of the car. God tells us what our needs are - we do not tell Him, therefore, pray for wisdom. "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." (James 1:5) An example is: Gracious God, please provide [Your boyfriend's name here] wisdom concerning selling his car. Let us all remember that we are asking regarding God's Will, "13Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praises. 14Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, 15and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." (James 5:13-16), therefore, One must think about the effect for God's Purpose concerning the sale of the car.
We pray for your sister's healing and recovery and for comfort in the Holy Spirit. "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28.)
We also lift up your mother, asking God to help her manage her anger and find peace. And Finally, we pray for guidance and success in your Australia Partner Visa application, knowing the world is changing and your prayer may be answered. In all these things, we trust in God's will and His perfect timing.
May the words of 1 Thessalonians 5:16 18 always display in you: "Rejoice always! 17 Pray continually. 18 Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Let us do this!
