We stand with you in this spiritual battle against the forces of division, confusion, and perversion that seek to destroy what God has ordained. The enemy is at work in these toxic influences—through gossip, mockery, sexual immorality, and the spirit of divorce—that defile marriages, families, and even neighborhoods. But we serve a God who is greater, and His Word is our weapon to rebuke and cast down these strongholds.
The Scriptures are clear: *"Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."* (Matthew 19:4-6, WEB). Yet the enemy twists this truth, promoting separation, ungodly unions, and even mocking the sacred covenant of marriage with perverse imaginations and words. The Lord detests such things, for *"Yahweh is a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously. Yet she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant. Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought a godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth."* (Malachi 2:14-15, WEB).
The spirit of divorce is a demonic stronghold, and it spreads like a plague—through words, attitudes, and ungodly associations. The apostle Paul warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?... ‘Therefore come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you."* (2 Corinthians 6:14, 17, WEB). You must separate yourself from these toxic influences, whether they come from neighbors, former associations, or even lingering ties that the enemy tries to exploit. The Lord commands us to *"have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them"* (Ephesians 5:11, WEB). This includes rebuking the gossip, the sexual immorality, the mockery, and the spirit of division that seeks to infect your mind and surroundings.
You have already recognized the demonic nature of this attack—the confusion of identities (*"I am not her, he is not him"*), the perversion of intimacy (*"inappropriate sexual mix"*), the barrenness (*"we don’t have pregnancy"*), and the ungodly alliances (*"we don’t have ties family"*). These are not coincidences; they are the fingerprints of the enemy, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But Jesus has given us authority to trample over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19), and we must exercise that authority now.
Let us pray with boldness and clarity:
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the Name above all names by which every knee must bow. We thank You that You are a God of covenant, of unity, and of holiness, and that You despise the schemes of the devil to destroy what You have joined together. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of divorce that has risen up like a flood in this situation—its confusion, its mockery, its perversion, and its toxic influence over minds and neighborhoods. We bind these demonic forces in the name of Jesus and command them to be silent and cast out, never to return.
Father, we break every ungodly soul tie, every lingering connection to past relationships or associations that the enemy is using to torment and confuse. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage—or against the godly desire for marriage—shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke the spirit of gossip, the spirit of sexual immorality, the spirit of barrenness, and the spirit of mockery that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ. These spirits are exposed, and we command them to flee in Jesus’ name.
Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over this home, this mind, and this neighborhood. Surround this person with Your angels, Lord, and let no evil come near. We pray for a hedge of fire around them, that the enemy would not be able to penetrate with his lies or his minions. Father, we ask that You would expose every hidden work of darkness and bring to light the deeds that have been done in secret. Let those who mock Your holy covenant be put to shame, and let their words fall to the ground.
We pray for a spirit of repentance to fall upon those who have been influenced by this wrong spirit—those who have participated in gossip, in sexual sin, or in promoting division. Convict their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. If there has been any opening to these spirits through ungodly associations, unforgiveness, or sin, we ask for Your cleansing blood to wash it away. Let there be a breaking of every curse, every hex, every word spoken against this marriage or future marriage in Jesus’ name.
Father, we declare that You are restoring what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). If the enemy has stolen peace, stolen unity, or stolen the desire for godly offspring, we command restoration in Jesus’ name. We pray for a godly spouse, Lord—a covenant keeper, a man or woman after Your own heart, who will stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Let there be no place for the enemy to twist or pervert what You have ordained.
We thank You, Lord, that You are not a God of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). We declare that every tongue that rises against this situation in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). We plead the blood of Jesus over every doorpost, every thought, and every word spoken. Let the atmosphere shift from darkness to light, from chaos to order, from division to unity.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would fill this person with Your Holy Spirit—with discernment, with wisdom, and with the boldness to stand against these attacks. Let them walk in victory, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We pray all these things in the mighty, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.**
Now, we urge you to take practical steps in this battle:
1. **Separate yourself from toxic influences.** If neighbors or former associates are spreading gossip, mockery, or ungodly images, limit contact with them. *"Don’t participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them"* (Ephesians 5:11, WEB). This may mean avoiding certain areas, blocking harmful communications, or even relocating if necessary.
2. **Guard your mind and heart.** The enemy uses words and images to plant seeds of doubt, confusion, and lust. *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8, WEB). Fill your mind with Scripture, worship, and godly counsel.
3. **Repent of any openness to sin.** If there has been any participation in sexual immorality, unforgiveness, or agreement with the spirit of divorce (even in thought), repent and renounce it. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB).
4. **Pray for your future spouse.** If you are not yet married, pray for the person God has for you—a believer who will honor the covenant of marriage. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If you are married, pray for restoration and protection over your marriage.
5. **Stand firm in faith.** *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). The enemy cannot stand against the authority of Jesus’ name when we wield it in faith.
The Lord sees your struggle, and He is mighty to save. Do not lose heart. *"The Lord Yahweh is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go on my high places."* (Habakkuk 3:19, WEB). Keep fighting the good fight of faith, and trust that God will bring victory.
