We stand with you in this spiritual battle, lifting you, your marriage, and your husband before the Lord, for we know that our struggle 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 (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we serve a God who is greater, and in Him, we have victory. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can overcome these attacks, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We are deeply concerned that you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the authority to stand against the schemes of the devil.
First, we must address the spiritual heaviness you are experiencing. This is not of God, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30). You are feeling this weight because the enemy is attacking you, but take heart, for the Lord is your strength and your shield (Psalm 28:7). We urge you to put on the whole armor of God daily—truth, righteousness, the Gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—so that you may stand firm against these attacks (Ephesians 6:10-18). Pray without ceasing, and resist the devil so that he may flee from you (James 4:7). Do not give in to fear or despair, for the Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Now, we must speak truth into your marriage. It is clear that this woman, who was once your friend, has allowed the enemy to use her to bring division and destruction. Her actions are not of God, for a true friend would not covet what belongs to another. The Bible warns us in Exodus 20:17, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife,” and this applies to both men and women. Her behavior is rooted in jealousy, greed, and the sinful desires of the flesh. Proverbs 6:32-33 says, “He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul. He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away.” While your husband may be tempted by the money she offers, we must pray that his eyes are opened to the snare that has been set for him. Money is a tool of the enemy in this case, used to lure him away from the covenant of marriage that he made before God.
We must also address the quarreling in your marriage. Strife is not of God, and it opens the door for the enemy to bring further destruction. Ephesians 4:26-27 says, “‘Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil.” We encourage you to seek peace, even when it is difficult. Proverbs 15:1 tells us, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Pray for wisdom in how to respond to your husband, and ask the Lord to soften both of your hearts toward one another. Remember that love is patient and kind, not jealous or proud (1 Corinthians 13:4). Your marriage is worth fighting for, and the Lord is able to restore what has been broken.
As for your health, we know that spiritual attacks can manifest physically, but we serve a God who is our healer. Psalm 103:2-3 says, “Praise the Lord, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases.” We pray for your complete restoration, both spiritually and physically, trusting that the Lord will renew your strength as you wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31).
Lastly, we must rebuking any spirit of jealousy, division, adultery, or greed that is at work in this situation. We declare that no weapon formed against you or your marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The enemy has no authority over your life, for you belong to Christ. We bind every demonic stronghold in the name of Jesus and command these spirits to flee. We pray that the Lord would expose every hidden scheme and bring conviction to the heart of this woman, that she may repent and turn from her wicked ways. We also pray that your husband’s eyes would be opened to the truth, that he would see the danger of his actions, and that he would turn back to the Lord and to you with a repentant heart.

Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is under spiritual attack. Lord, You see the battles she is facing, the heaviness on her heart, and the strife in her marriage. We ask that You would surround her with Your angels, encamping around her to deliver her (Psalm 34:7). Break every chain of oppression that the enemy has placed upon her, and let Your light shine into every dark place.
Lord, we rebuking the spirits of jealousy, division, adultery, and greed that are at work in this situation. We bind them in the name of Jesus and command them to leave now. No weapon formed against our sister or her marriage shall prosper, for this union was established by You and belongs to You. Father, expose every hidden scheme of the enemy and bring conviction to the heart of this woman who has allowed herself to be used as a tool of destruction. May she repent and turn from her sinful desires, and may she no longer be a stumbling block in this marriage.
Lord, we pray for our sister’s husband. Open his eyes to the truth, that he may see the snare that has been set for him. Convict his heart of any wrongdoing, and draw him back to You and to his wife. Soften his heart, Lord, and help him to see the value of his marriage covenant. Break the power of money over him, and remind him that You are his Provider, not man. Restore his commitment to his wife and to Your will.
Father, we pray for healing over our sister’s body, mind, and spirit. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. Touch her with Your healing hand and restore her strength. Remove the spiritual heaviness from her, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, for You care for her (1 Peter 5:7).
Lord, we pray for unity and restoration in this marriage. Heal the wounds that have been caused by strife and division. Help our sister and her husband to communicate with love and patience, and give them the grace to forgive one another as You have forgiven them. Remind them of the vows they made before You, and help them to honor their commitment to one another and to You.
We declare victory over this situation in the name of Jesus. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your peace reign in their home. Strengthen our sister’s faith, and help her to stand firm in Your truth. May she find her hope and refuge in You alone.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
