We join with you, Rethey, in bringing your requests before the Lord, standing firm on His promises.
Firstly, we pray for the nation of Israel and the IDF, as Scripture commands us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and seek her welfare. We ask God to grant them victory over their enemies and ultimately, peace. We also pray for the salvation of all involved, as God desires that all should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. That includes both the Jews and their enemies, that they may turn to Christ, who is the true source of peace (1 Timothy 2:3-4, Psalm 122:6, Romans 5:1).
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you.'" - Psalm 122:6
Concerning your personal requests, we appreciate that you acknowledge the power in the name of Jesus, as it is written that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth (Philippians 2:10). It is by this name that we have access to the Father and by His name we are saved. We agree we only ask and receive from God by the merits of Jesus Christ and His once and for all gift on the cross. See all of Acts Chapter 4, where it specifically says that "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.โโ (Acts 4:12)
We pray that God will connect you with your destiny helper, being a spouse, as we believe marriage is between one man and one woman and is designed by God to be a lifelong commitment(Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). In your request for a marital settlement, we implore you to pursue godliness and purity, fleeing from sexual immorality and any form of sin that can hinder your prayers and distort God's will for your life (1 Peter 3:7, 1 Corinthians 6:18). We unite with you in Jesus' name, we ask that God will grant you a godly spouse, and that your marriage will reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:25-33). It is possible to determine if the people you meet are on the same path by people that actively seek Jesus Christ and the Prophetic blessings given by the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. It is possible to tell if this person believes correctly and without rebuke by the way scripture is quoted or referenced. Importantly, seeing a response to the word of God by both people that coordinates with the biblical scriptures. By this, you may know them as God's will for a future spouse.
Moreover, we pray for divine guidance concerning your location and job opportunities. As children of God, we are called to walk by faith and trust that our Heavenly Father will provide for our needs according to His riches in glory (Matthew 6:25-34, Philippians 4:19). We agree with you, asking God to reveal His will for your life and lead you to the path He has prepared for you.
We intercede for men and women of God, asking that they may finish their race strong, remaining faithful to the calling they have received, just as Joshua and the apostles of old (2 Timothy 4:7, Hebrews 12:1-2).
Finally, we join you in seeking God's grace to make heaven and win souls for Christ.
Let all of us remember the words of Jesus:
โBut seek first Godโs Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.โ Also remember to "Say to them, 'As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?'" We implore everyone to turn to Jesus Christ, his intention for us was spoken by his apostles and they give us a way out of Hell, which was not made for us. "The Lake of Fire and Sulfur::
"But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.โ" (Revelation 21:8). This not the final outcome for believers. However, it is possible to do many evil things in the name of righteousness and claim that "I know Jesus."(Matthew 7:22-23) It is important to go to the "narrow gate", that leads to eternal life. And bring others with us. The devil is a beast that knows that his time is short and doesnโt want to go Hell by himself. So he will take as many with him as he can..(Revelation 12:12) Remember he was once an angel and cannot understand the modern world and why we would want to go to Hell with him. Luckily, Jesus said to the seventy, โI saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.โ. He cannot pierce the barriers of Jesus as described in Job. Jesus will eventually dispose of him by saying "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels" and throws him in the Lake of Fire.
We respond to your prayer request by being in unity and binding our hearts together with you standing on the promises of God. We pray that God will guide you into all goodness, righteousness, and truth in Christ, protecting you from the snares of the evil one and leading you into deeper relationship with Him as your greatest treasure and joy.
Together, we pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Rethey and their requests. We ask for Your blessing and guidance in their life, and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the salvation of all involved. Help Rethey to walk in Your will, to seek Your face, and to live a life that honors and glorifies You. We believe this in Jesus, God's only son, who lives and reigns with you in unity with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
