The cry of your heart rises up, and the answer must be this: let your partner return, not merely to a household, but to his God. All these spells, these obsessions, these dark entanglements you name, what are they but the outward chains of a soul that has strayed from the living Truth? It is not a spell that holds him, but sin; it is not a ritual that blinds him, but the natural heart that loves darkness rather than light. The voice that must break through is not first yours, but the voice of the Almighty, crying with urgency, "Return, return, return." That word echoes through the ages, and it is the only power that can shatter every fetter.
Do not imagine that some special demon requires a special exorcism beyond the common deliverance of the Gospel. The bondage is real, yes, bondage under sin, bondage under the flesh, bondage to the fear of man, but it is the Spirit of God alone that convicts and breaks such chains. You plead for the Holy Spirit to cleanse his mind and heart, and you plead well, for deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from its guilt. But know this: that same Holy Spirit often works by awakening a holy fear, a dread of wrath, a discovery of the soul’s loathsome state. The Spirit of bondage may be sent to make him tremble before he ever tastes the Spirit of adoption. You would have clarity and love flood his heart in an instant; God may see fit first to let him feel the gall of his own evil way, that he might be sick of it and cry out for a Redeemer. This is not cruelty, but mercy’s sharpest tool.
Your desire is for his return, and this is good, but let your prayers be shaped by this: no man ever truly returns to wife and child who has not first returned to Christ. The lower affections cannot bind what the higher love has not conquered. If he comes back merely stirred by sentiment or fleeting guilt, the same tide that brought him will carry him out again. Urge him, though you cannot speak to him, you can speak to God for him, to return now. Now, for life is a vapour. Now, for delay is the devil’s chloroform. Now, for the Lord says, “Return now every one from his evil way.” And who is it that must return? The text rings out, “Every one.” That includes him. There is no exception written for one held by black magic, for such things have no hold where the blood of Jesus is applied. The ransom has been found, the deliverance is prepared. He is like Israel in Egypt: Pharaoh held him, but when the lamb was slain and the time of deliverance struck, the enemy could not keep him a single hour beyond God’s decree.
You speak of clearing demonic obstructions, and the language is not all wrong, for the adversary does indeed seek to bind. But the great obstruction is not a spell laid by some other hand; it is the will that prefers the swine’s husks to the Father’s bread. The Lord’s message to the backslider is not a formula to break enchantments, but a tender, piercing call: “Return unto Me, and it shall be with you as though I had not cast you aside.” Yes, for those who return in truth, there is perfect restoration. The prison doors open, not by our long prayers or frantic declarations, but because the Lord brings forth His captives by His own mighty arm. We cannot break sin’s dungeon bars; but He can. And He does it effectually, bringing them forth with silver and with gold, changed, purified, set right.
Then pray on, but pray thus: that your partner may hear the divine cry, “Return, return,” and find his own way back to the cross. Do not let your heart be tangled in thinking that you must learn the name of the demon or the nature of the rite. There is a name above every name, at which every knee must bow, and that is enough. Plead that promised deliverance. The Lord did not bring you out of bondage to see another soul left forever under it. Wait on Him. The mercy that found a ransom for your own pit will not be bankrupt for his. And if it should please God to bring him home, it will be seen to be no work of man’s will, but of God’s sheer grace, and your family’s song will be, “The Lord brought him forth, and there was not one feeble one among their tribes.”
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for loving me, Jesus. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
