We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we stand with you in this spiritual battle for your marriage, which is under attack by the enemy. The Lord hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), and He is a God who restores what has been broken. Your wife’s involvement in a cult is a grave concern, for false teachings twist the truth and lead people away from the one true God. The apostle Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14-15, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?"* While your wife may still claim to be a believer, her involvement in a cult places her under dangerous spiritual influence that contradicts the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Your refusal to participate in this cult is commendable and aligns with Scripture. We must obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29), and you are taking a stand for truth. However, this battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Your wife’s family is being used as a tool of the enemy to destroy what God has joined together. But take heart—our God is greater. He can break the chains of deception and draw your wife back to Himself. Remember the promise in Jeremiah 32:27, *"Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?"* Nothing is impossible for Him, including restoring your marriage and freeing your wife from this bondage.
We must also address the urgency of your wife’s salvation. If she remains in this cult, she is in danger of eternal separation from God. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and any teaching that denies this is a lie from the pit of hell. Your love for your wife must compel you to pray fervently for her repentance and return to the truth. Pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her of the error she is in and that God would open her eyes to see the light of the Gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4).
As for your marriage, we urge you to continue standing firm in faith. Do not give the enemy a foothold by entertaining doubt or bitterness. Instead, clothe yourself in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and fight this battle on your knees. Fast and pray as the Lord leads you, seeking His face for wisdom, strength, and breakthrough. Remember the story of Hosea, whom God commanded to love his unfaithful wife as a picture of God’s love for His wayward people (Hosea 3:1). Your love for your wife, even in her rebellion, is a testimony of Christ’s love for His Bride, the Church.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believers who can support you in this trial. You are not meant to walk this path alone. Surround yourself with a community that will lift you up in prayer and hold you accountable to walk in obedience to God’s Word. If your wife is willing to listen, share the truth in love, but do not engage in arguments that will only harden her heart. Speak the truth, but let the Holy Spirit do the work of conviction.
Now, let us pray together for your wife and your marriage:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother and his wife to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see the pain and brokenness in this marriage, and You know the spiritual strongholds that have taken captive our sister’s heart. We ask You, Father, to break every chain of deception and lies that have bound her. Expose the darkness of this cult for what it is—a tool of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy. Lord, open her eyes to see the truth of Your Word and the danger she is in. Draw her back to Yourself, Father, and let her encounter Your love in a way she cannot deny.
We pray for a supernatural restoration of this marriage, Lord. Soften her heart toward her husband, and give him the wisdom to know how to love her as Christ loves the Church. Strengthen him, Father, to stand firm in faith, even when the battle rages. Let him be a light in the darkness, a beacon of Your truth and grace. Lord, we ask that You would thwart the plans of the enemy to destroy this marriage. Turn the hearts of her family away from their evil schemes and let them see the error of their ways. Bring conviction and repentance where it is needed.
Father, we declare that no weapon formed against this marriage will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind every spirit of division, deception, and rebellion in the name of Jesus, and we loose the spirit of unity, truth, and reconciliation. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your name be glorified in this situation. We ask for a mighty move of Your Spirit that will bring restoration, redemption, and revival to this marriage.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your power to save. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this marriage, just as it is in heaven. We pray all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm, brother. Do not lose heart or give up hope. The Lord is fighting for you, even when you cannot see it. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We are standing with you in this fight.
