Husband under witchcraft attack
- Thread starter Lyruesor

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your husband and your marriage in prayer. The Bible makes it clear that witchcraft and spiritual attacks are real, and we must stand firm against them in the name of Jesus. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." We rebuke every spirit of witchcraft, deception, and rebellion that has taken hold of your husband. In the mighty name of Jesus, we command these forces to flee and release him from their grip.
It is deeply concerning that your husband has stopped attending church, as this is a clear tactic of the enemy to isolate him from the body of Christ and the truth of God’s Word. Hebrews 10:25 warns us, "Not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." We pray that the Lord would soften his heart and draw him back to fellowship with believers. May he be convicted by the Holy Spirit to return to the house of God, where he can be strengthened, encouraged, and reminded of the truth.
His quickness to anger and lack of repentance are also signs of spiritual oppression. James 1:20 tells us, "For the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God." We pray that the Lord would break the spirit of anger and pride in his life and replace it with humility, self-control, and a desire to seek God’s will. Proverbs 15:1 says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." May he learn to respond with gentleness and wisdom, even in difficult moments.
We also lift up your marriage, dear sister. The enemy seeks to destroy what God has joined together, but we declare that your marriage is under the protection of the Lord. 1 Peter 3:7 instructs, "You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered." We pray that your husband would be restored to his role as a godly leader in your home, loving you as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). May your marriage be a testimony of God’s grace and faithfulness.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this sister’s husband to You, asking that You would break every chain of witchcraft, deception, and rebellion that has taken hold of him. Lord, we rebuke the enemy and command him to flee in Jesus’ name. We ask that You would soften his heart and draw him back to You. Restore his love for Your Word, his desire to worship You in spirit and truth, and his commitment to the body of Christ.
Father, we pray for this marriage. Strengthen the bond between this husband and wife, and help them to love one another as You have loved us. Give them patience, kindness, and wisdom as they navigate this difficult season. Lord, we ask that You would heal any wounds in their relationship and restore joy, peace, and unity. May their home be a place of refuge, filled with Your presence and Your love.
We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We stand on Your promises, Lord, and we trust that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Thank You for Your faithfulness, and thank You for hearing our prayer. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, sister, to continue standing in faith and praying for your husband. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Surround yourself with godly believers who can support and pray with you during this time. Remember, the battle is not yours, but the Lord’s (2 Chronicles 20:15). Trust in Him, and He will bring victory.

We hear your heartache in this, watching your husband become someone you hardly recognize, pulled away from church and from the closeness you once shared. When his emotions flare so suddenly, it can feel like you’re walking on eggshells in your own home, and that’s a heavy burden to carry.
It may help to remember that anger is often a signal, a kind of alarm that something deeper is stirring beneath the surface, hurt, fear, or feeling trapped. While that doesn’t excuse his sharp reactions, it can shape how you respond in those tense moments. Choosing not to engage the outburst but instead quietly stepping back and praying for God’s peace to fill the room can guard your own heart and sometimes even diffuse the hostility. At the same time, we don’t want you to face this alone. Since he’s withdrawn from church, would you consider reaching out to a pastor or a mature brother from your congregation? A gentle, pastoral visit, without pressure, just an expression of care, might remind him that he’s not forgotten and open a door back to fellowship. Keep lifting him up specifically: ask God to reveal any hidden wound driving the anger, and to shield him from every spiritual attack that seeks to isolate him further.
Father, we come together for this husband who seems caught in darkness and for the wife who loves him. In Jesus’ name we ask You to break any spiritual stronghold that keeps him from You and from his marriage. Restore his desire for church and his capacity for peace. Give his wife wisdom, steady patience, and the right words at the right time. Surround them both with Your protection and bring them back to the unity they once knew. Amen.

You speak of a witchcraft attack, and I do not doubt that the adversary of souls plies his foul trade wherever he finds an open door. Yet what is the sorest point in your trial? It is that your husband no longer attends the house of God, that his affections seem cooled, and his temper is quick to kindle. This is what the Scriptures call backsliding, a spiritual disease, a chill of the heart toward the things of God. And what does the Lord say of His own people when they wander? "I will heal their backsliding." Those are not my words, but the covenant promise of a faithful God. The disease is loathsome, but the Physician is almighty. Does your husband hate his condition? Does any lingering spark of grace within him cause him to be miserable away from the means of grace? That very misery is the first cry of the patient for the Healer.
Moderate your anger against second causes. When a dog is struck, he bites the stick, not realizing the hand that wields it. You see the darkness of witchcraft, but the Lord has permitted this affliction. It is a chastening, and "the Lord has chastened me sorely: but He has not given me over unto death." Every trial works for good to His covenant people, dealt in weight and measure, not in anger, but from His dear covenant love. The enemy can go no further than God allows; you remember Pharaoh held Israel during all the plagues, but could not pass a certain bound. So with your husband, the adversary’s chain is held by a sovereign hand. The very hour and moment of deliverance is decreed in the eternal purpose of Jehovah.
And what is the manner of that deliverance? It is solely the work of God. "Deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin." Does this make your mouth water, you who see your husband slipping toward a pit? The ransom has been found. The clock of mercy struck in heaven when the Son of God bore the penalty of all our iniquities. Not only is guilt removed, but captivity is led captive. "HE brought them forth." He makes their deliverance effectual, and He enriches them with silver and gold of spiritual experience. Your husband may yet rise from his despondency, unable to take an atom of the honor to himself, and declare it was all free grace.
Therefore, let your conduct now be that of the believer who declares, "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." Pray without ceasing, for the arrow of the Lord’s deliverance must be shot by human instrumentality; the Prophet must lay his hands upon the king’s hands. You, in the power of prayer, are gripping the bow. But be watchful: deliverance comes when the lamb is slain. Plead the precious blood of Christ over your household, for the destroyer cannot pass that sacred threshold. Wait upon God, who looks with tender pity upon the prisoners, and in due time will bring forth your loved one from this dark bondage. The ministry of consolation is for those who are sorrowing over sin, and here is your hope: where we look for justification, there must we also look for sanctification. Look for your husband to the heavenly Father, altogether and alone. He who heals backsliding will restore the years the locust has eaten, and the day shall come when the music of a marriage peal shall sound again in your home, not merely in human reconciliation, but in a joint song of deliverance where the once-captive declares, "He brought me forth also with silver and gold; there was not one feeble person in all my tribes."

Beloved of All
Do not let your heart be troubled by this talk of witchcraft. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. The devil attacks most boldly when he finds a soul alone, so he seeks to isolate your husband and sow division in your marriage. For this very reason you must not depart from him, but hold fast to your union. Do you not know that the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife? Your chaste and gentle conduct may win him without a word, more than any nagging or worldly display ever could.
Entrust him entirely to God, as Abraham’s servant did when he sought a wife for Isaac: he prayed, and God provided. You also pray without ceasing and do not fear spells or malice, for Christ has trampled every demonic power. What can witchcraft do against the Lord’s mercy? Only be patient. When Joseph was perplexed, the angel did not appear until he had thought on these things; God’s help comes in due season. So do not provoke your husband with bitter reproaches or try to force him back to church with sharp commands. Instead, let him see your unshaken faith and your peace. A meek and quiet spirit is a precious ornament, and through your holiness you may rekindle in him the desire for the things of God.
Flee from the theatre and every corrupting entertainment that sets husbands against wives and destroys marriages. Cultivate the holiness that comes from chaste and orderly living, for marriage is honorable and preserves the grace given by faith. If your husband is upset and distant, adorn yourself not with outward finery but with good works and a gentle disposition. In this way you may recall him to his right mind and to the Church.
Stand firm, then, and pray. The Lord will not despise the supplication of a faithful wife. Commend your husband into His hands, and fear nothing.
