Let us come together. grandfather is Heartfelt prayer. Since we can come to God because of what Jesus did for us we should pray in his name, since it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that anyone can be saved or have access to God. We hope Nothard publicly acknowledges Jesus in his thanks for God. We believe it is important that he publicly acknowledge Jesus. We will begin addressing his post, and include this in our response.
Nothart, We are thankful for your faith in God's ability to perform miracles, and thankful you gave God the glory and you are wanting acknowledge him in your post. Thank you for your love for your family.
Families are a blessing from God, and it is wonderful that you desire to spend time with your granddaughters, sons, and daughter-in-law this Christmas.
First let us discuss the issues of the daughter in law's favoritism, but we should always look to ourselves for the issues before we look to others. Jesus did not say remove the speck from your brother's eye before you remove the plank from your own. Matt 7:5 WEB You hypocrite! First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye. So make sure that you are loving her the way you should. You should also know honor comes before blessings and long life. This means we should always honor people by considering their point of view and we do not know her point of view. God may have given her a harder time and she may have needed to hear from God. This would cause her to be farther along in her Christian walk. Eph 6:2-3 WEB “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise: “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”” Since you honor her by considering her point of view, it will often be easier to bring up grievances, if there are any. Do not allow bitterness or offense to be name of the game. . It is just as important to honor family members as it is to honor your father and mother. As Christians we should be know the golden rule and love is the golden rule. Many people do no realize this. You should be applying this since love for the image of God including your daughter-in-law that the Bible says to love. Many people do not understand this concept with all people. Yet even Jesus died for us while we were all yet sinners. So love is God's answer and should be your answer as well. You should apply the golden rule even to you daughter-in-law. God through Jesus Christ expects us to treat others like we want to be treated. You should realize that when you are loving and can love anyone the way a perfect gentleman would treat a perfect lady, then you will be able to handle her as well because you will have all the godly wisdom you can get. Many people do not realize what the Bible says about love. However, God was showing us love when he sent Jesus to die for us and our Christian love is to be conducted under God's example of this.
The Bible tells us that the family of believers is important. Yet be courteous. Be an adult with your requests. Surely they can handle at least one gift on Christmas, since you are such a gentleman to at least see them once on Christmas. This means that should be done acknowledging Jesus as the practice of the Christian life. The Bible should be taken into account.
Ephesians 5:21 WEB states, "subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ." Be loving and others in your immediate family should be loving too. Are you being loving? If you cannot answer yes to that then you should not be any more angry if they are not either. The most important commandment is love.
This is the calling that we are to bring everyone including our children up in. Again if someone says they love children and not the unborn, the unmarried, or a particular age group then they do not know love and you do not know what love is.
**Let us Pray Together**
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name that you made a way for us to come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, to lay our requests at Your feet. We pray for Nothard and his family, that You would open doors for him to spend quality time with his granddaughters, sons, and daughter-in-law this Christmas. We pray in Jesus name that God fixes all the issues for this Christmas. Are you allowing God to fix them or are you wanting to hold on to the issues. If you are wanting to hold on to the issues then pray for God's spirit to influence you. Otherwise you need to remember to confess your issues to God and trust him with the results. Confess your issues with this as well as any other issues to him.
Lord, we ask that you to convict both Nothard and Nothard's daughter in law as necessary, and soften her heart and everyone involved. We know what you ask is possible so we know we are to do these blessings and more. Make sure Nothard is treating her like a gentleman. . Make sure the family is loving. Maybe this is a test for Nothard and maybe the family. We pray that they gain the courage to lovingly address any favoritism and restore harmony in the family. whether she knows what she is doing or not. We also ask for this restoration to be a witness to the rest of the family including Nothard's daughter-in-law's family and the rest of his family.
Arise oh God and live among the decisions of the impossible of those involved. This would be a gift from you oh God. Show your offering to the family and Nothard and see if he rejects it. Both God and Nothard know the possibilities of a decision for Nothard or any of his family to live their lives for Jesus. Nothard may you prosper and be in health even as you soul prospers and may your family do the same. If you reject or allow your family to reject this gift as an example to you, God will reject and your soul will not prosper. Whether Nothard's family or Nothard chose to accept good or reject God, his family, God, or anything God has for you has chosen to do with you, that God allows this that he may save as many good decisions, as many harmless souls, or as much faith that you are willing to allow to occur, as people are willing to allow to occur. Nothard may your family make good decisions as their souls prosper. May your family have no excuse that they do not know the “Danger Will Robinson” decision or any excuses including anything else once they are saved. You may read 2 Peter to know how God's children know what the truth is and know it is possible to follow it actively and in decision making. Then you should be able to read and discuss with love to any unbelievers 2 Peter to actively know the truth in your hearts. This only comes because we know the author and continue in the scriptures. We hope to find helpers to share what scripture says and pray with us. In all you plans and thoughts including this prayer be true and honest with God to praise him if something is his will so may it happen if before and during it is possible.
We pray this family witness of truth and restoration of God's gift will be a blessing to everyone involved puls the family as a gift from you oh God . Again you asked and you are supposed to have received so thank God and that we will have evidence of the truth so this a testimony of Jesus. . Father God through the blood of Jesus we keep saying with power in Jesus name and believe and say we have not because we ask not and we ask for all those things that the in Jesus' name we are all here to do God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Either way oh God let your will be done and in the end everyone has the opportunity to be saved.
Lord, we ask that You would guide Nothard and his son, giving them the wisdom and courage to address any issues with love and kindness in a way that everyone is considerate to other and it is an excellent example. Then they can work together and not be afraid of each other or have offenses or hard feelings with anyone including the daughter in law.. .
Father we also speak to any spirits that are not from you God and say Be Gone in Jesus Name along with godly fathers and brothers surrounding this family in Jesus Name . As Nothard believes in miracles, we ask oh God in Jesus name that You would work mightily in their family, healing any brokenness and we know you are able to restore what is wonderful in Jesus name. reveals in the communion cup in the Faithful, Matthew WEB states, Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority has been given to me in heaven . Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them or teaching them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, You can move mountains Mark 11:23, WEB For most certainly, I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be moved and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, 1 John 5:14 WEB This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
We ask all these things in Jesus name
Thank you for hearing and answering our prayer Father God, we stand on all the promises of WEB Mark 11:24 WEB. Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them and 1 John 5:14-5 WEB This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. W{hatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
You are doing the right thing in your family. I believe in the miracle as you stand with me in Jesus name.
Remeber our relationship with Jesus allows this all,
