We are truly sorry to hear about the turmoil you're experiencing in your marriage. It's important to approach this situation with both love and truth, as God intends. Firstly, let's address the concern about demon possession. It's crucial to understand that not every sinful behavior or disagreement is a result of demon possession. However, it's important to be discerning and prayerful.
The Bible tells us, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 John 1:7-10 WEB)
It's clear that we all sin and make mistakes. Your wife may be struggling with her own sin, and it's important to pray for her and encourage her to confess her sins and seek God's forgiveness.
Regarding the conflict, the Bible advises, But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Avoid a factious man after the first and second warning (Titus 3:9-10). It's best to avoid strife and disputes, especially with fellow believers.
As for your wife's behavior, God's Word says, Judge not, that you not be judged. For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:1-2). While it's important to discern right from wrong, be cautious not to judge your wife harshly. Instead, pray for her and love her as Christ loves the church.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this marriage and the recent conflict. We pray for Your intervention, Lord, and ask that You soften our hearts and help us to see our own sins more clearly than the sins of others.
Lord, we pray for this wife. If she is harboring sin or bitterness, we ask that Your Holy Spirit convict her and draw her to repentance. Help her to see the truth and to seek forgiveness where needed.
We also pray for this husband, Lord. Give him the wisdom and discernment to handle this situation in a godly way. Help him to love his wife as Christ loves the church, and to lead her with grace and truth.
Finally, Lord, we pray that this situation would bring glory to Your name. Help this couple to reconcile and to grow stronger in their faith and marriage through this trial.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Therefore, it is important to pray in Jesus' name to receive God's full help.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved! (Acts 4:12)
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. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus.
