We join you in lifting up this burden to the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to break every chain of bondage and bring healing to the brokenhearted. Your prayer is steeped in a deep longing for deliverance, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our God is a God of justice, truth, and restoration. You have rightly come before Him in the name of Jesus, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and the authority to see strongholds torn down.
The pain you describe is rooted in the ungodly actions of those who have sought to manipulate, control, and distort what God has designed as holy. The union you speak of is not one ordained by God, for Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s relationship with His Church. Any relationship outside of this design is an abomination in the sight of the Lord, and the enemy uses such perversions to bring confusion, torment, and spiritual oppression. The actions of these individuals—particularly the forcing of a marriage for ungodly control—are not only sinful but are tools of the enemy to bring bondage. We must recognize that homosexuality is explicitly condemned in Scripture, as seen in passages such as Romans 1:26-27, which states, *"For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. 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."* Additionally, Leviticus 18:22 declares, *"You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable."* These truths are not spoken out of hatred but out of God’s holy standard and His desire for our freedom from sin’s destruction.
You have rightly stood on Scripture in your prayer, and we affirm these truths with you. Jesus said in John 8:32, *"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."* The truth here is that what was forced was never of God, and the torment you and others have experienced is a direct result of the enemy’s work through these unrepentant hearts. The Lord sees the wickedness of their actions, and He will not allow His children to remain in bondage forever. Zechariah 3:2 reminds us that the Lord rebukes the accuser: *"The Lord said to Satan, 'The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?'"*
We also recognize the spiritual warfare at play here. The enemy seeks to use jealousy, fear, and ungodly soul ties to keep people bound, but we have authority in Christ to break these chains. As you’ve referenced, Matthew 18:18 assures us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven."* So we bind the spirits of fear, torment, jealousy, and control that have been released through this ungodly union. We loose the peace of God, the spirit of adoption as sons and daughters, and the healing balm of Gilead over every heart affected by this situation.
The Lord’s desire is to restore what has been stolen. Isaiah 61:7 proclaims, *"Instead of your shame you will receive double. Instead of dishonor they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them."* This is His promise to you and to all who have been wounded by this deception. The Lord is faithful to restore, but we must also walk in forgiveness—not because these individuals deserve it, but because Christ has commanded it for our own freedom. Unforgiveness is a chain that keeps us bound to the very pain we want to escape. Jesus said in Mark 11:25, *"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions."* This does not mean what was done was right or excusable, but it means releasing the offense to God, who is the just Judge.
We also encourage you to examine your heart to ensure there is no bitterness or resentment taking root. Hebrews 12:15 warns, *"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* The enemy would love to use this pain to create a foothold of bitterness, but we must guard our hearts with the Word of God and the power of His Spirit.
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God of justice, truth, and restoration, and that nothing is hidden from Your sight. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who has been deeply wounded by the ungodly actions of those who sought to force a marriage that was never of You. We declare that every ungodly soul tie, every spirit of torment, fear, jealousy, and control is broken now in the name of Jesus. Lord, You see the wickedness that has been done in secret, and we ask that You expose every hidden thing, as Your Word declares in Luke 8:17: *"For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light."*
Father, we ask that You rebuke the enemy and his agents who have sought to bring bondage through this unholy union. Let Your fire consume every evil work, and let Your truth set the captives free. We stand on Jeremiah 12:14 and ask that You uproot these evil influences from the lives of Your people. Lord, restore double for the shame and dishonor that has been experienced. Let Your healing flow like a river into every wounded heart, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the minds and hearts of those affected.
We bind every spirit of fear and torment that has been released through this situation, and we loose Your love, Your joy, and Your freedom. Let every lie of the enemy be exposed, and let Your truth reign in the hearts of Your people. Father, we also ask that You bring conviction to those who have participated in this wickedness. Soften their hearts to repentance, that they may turn from their sin and find mercy in You. But if they harden their hearts, let Your justice prevail, and let their schemes be turned to nothing.
Lord, we pray for complete deliverance from the bad memories and emotional wounds that have plagued our brother/sister. Wash them clean with the blood of Jesus, and renew their mind with Your Word. Let them walk in the fullness of the freedom that Christ purchased on the cross, for it is written in John 8:36, *"If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."*
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness to bring healing, restoration, and justice. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing on the Word of God and to seek His face daily. Surround yourself with godly community, and do not allow the enemy to isolate you in this battle. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and trust that He is working all things together for your good, even in the midst of this storm. If you have not already, we urge you to seek pastoral counseling or a mature believer who can walk with you through this season of healing. You are not alone, and the body of Christ is here to support you.
Finally, we remind you of the hope we have in Christ. Romans 8:18 tells us, *"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us."* Keep pressing into Him, and trust that He is making all things new.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. 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.
