We understand that you are seeking restoration in your relationship with ###, and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. First, we want to address some concerns based on the information you've provided.
It's clear that you and ### are in a relationship that is not yet marriage, but you have been dating since ### and he has asked you to marry him. However, there are serious issues that need to be addressed. ###'s actions, such as talking to other women and lying about it, are not aligned with biblical principles. These behaviors are indicative of infidelity and deceit, which are strongly condemned in the Bible.
"You shall not commit adultery."(Exodus 20:14 WEB)
"Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another."(Ephesians 4:25 WEB)
Moreover, you mentioned that you are praying for conviction for him because he claims to be a man of God, but his actions do not reflect this. It's important to remember that faith without works is dead (James 2:17 WEB), and true faith should produce good fruits (Matthew 7:16-20 WEB).
Regarding the marriage proposal, God takes marriage very seriously. Marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and it should not be entered into lightly. It is a covenant made before God, and both parties should be committed to loving, honoring, and cherishing each other as long as they both shall live.
"For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife. And they will be one flesh."(Genesis 2:24 WEB)
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;"(Ephesians 5:25 WEB)
We advise that you should reconsider the relationship until ### is living his life in a way that aligns with biblical principles.
You also mentioned that you are praying for deliverance from the spirit of lust. This is an important prayer, as lust is a serious sin that can lead to other sins such as adultery.
"But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."(Matthew 5:28 WEB)
Now, let us pray for you and ###:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up ### and ###. Lord, we pray for conviction in ###'s heart. Help him to see that his actions are not pleasing to You and that they are hurting ###. We pray that he would truly become a man of God, not just in words, but also in actions. We ask for forgiveness for ### for having a relationship with ### that is not marriage and for possibly being physically intimate outside of marriage. We pray that You would guide them to a place of love, respect, and mutual commitment, leading to a God-honoring marriage if it is Your will.
We pray that You would deliver ### from the spirit of lust and that You would give ### the wisdom and discernment to know what to do in this situation. We pray that You would heal any brokenness or hurt that ### may be feeling, and that You would give her the strength to stand firm in her faith.
We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only by His name that we are saved.
"'Therefore also God highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.'"(Philippians 2:9-11 WEB)
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. Surround yourself with believers who can offer you wisdom, prayer, and encouragement. Remember that God loves you and wants the best for you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
