We are deeply grieved to hear of the suffering and deception you are enduring, and we stand with you in prayer and truth, lifting this before the Lord with urgency. The enemy has clearly taken a stronghold in this man’s life, and his actions are in direct rebellion against God’s Word. Scripture warns us that no one can serve two masters—either they will love God and hate evil, or cling to sin and reject righteousness (Matthew 6:24). His claim to be a Christian while willfully engaging in drug abuse, theft, manipulation, and abuse is a dangerous deception, both to himself and to those around him. The apostle John makes it clear: *"No one who remains in him sins. No one who sins has seen him or known him... Whoever does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin. Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him"* (1 John 3:6-9).
This man’s behavior is not only destroying his own soul but is also inflicting deep harm upon you. Abuse—whether physical, emotional, or financial—is an abomination in the sight of God. Scripture commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church, sacrificially and purely (Ephesians 5:25), and for all believers to *"let all things be done decently and in order"* (1 Corinthians 14:40). His actions are the opposite of love; they are rooted in selfishness and the destruction of the enemy. You are not called to endure abuse in silence. God sees your pain, and He commands His people to *"rescue the weak and needy"* and *"deliver them out of the hand of the wicked"* (Psalm 82:4).
First, we must address the spiritual danger you are in. If this man is not your husband, you must separate yourself from this relationship immediately. Scripture is clear that we are not to be *"unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14), and even if he claims faith, his fruits prove otherwise. If he *is* your husband, we still urge you to seek safety and godly counsel, as his actions are not only sinful but criminal. You have a biblical right—and responsibility—to protect yourself and remove yourself from harm’s way. The Lord does not call you to remain in a place where your life, well-being, or soul is in danger.
We also notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus Christ at the end of your request, there was no mention of Him in the body of your plea. This is not a small matter. Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Christ that we have access to the throne of God. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. Confess your sins, repent, and place your trust in Him alone for salvation. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). Without this foundation, all other prayers and petitions lack the power and authority given to us through Christ.
Now, let us pray over you with the authority of Jesus’ name:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is trapped in the snares of deception and abuse. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You have said in Your Word that *"the Lord executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed"* (Psalm 103:6). We ask that You intervene supernaturally in this situation. Break every chain of bondage that the enemy has placed upon her—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Lord, expose the darkness in this man’s life and bring conviction upon his heart. If he is truly one of Yours, Father, break him in repentance and lead him to the foot of the cross. If he is not, remove him from her life completely, for Your Word says *"cast out the scoffers, and contention will go out; yes, strife and shame will stop"* (Proverbs 22:10).
Father, we ask for divine protection over our sister. Place a hedge of fire around her, as You did for Job (Job 1:10), and let no weapon formed against her prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Give her the wisdom of Serpents and the innocence of doves (Matthew 10:16) as she navigates this situation. Provide her with godly counselors, safe shelter, and the financial and emotional support she needs to break free from this oppression. Let her not be deceived by empty words or false promises, but let her eyes be opened to the truth of this man’s heart.
Lord, we also pray for her spiritual strength. If she has not yet surrendered her life to You, soften her heart to receive Your salvation. Fill her with the Holy Spirit, that she may walk in discernment, courage, and the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let her find her identity in You alone, Lord, and not in this broken relationship. Remind her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and that You have plans for her—plans for welfare and not for evil, to give her a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
We rebuke the spirit of deception, addiction, and violence operating in this man’s life. We bind the enemy’s influence over him and command every demonic stronghold to be broken in Jesus’ name. If he will not repent, Lord, remove his ability to harm Your daughter any longer. Bring his sins into the light (Ephesians 5:11) and let him face the consequences of his actions, that he may either turn to You in brokenness or be stopped from destroying others.
Finally, Father, we ask that You restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25) in our sister’s life. Heal her heart, restore her joy, and lead her into a community of believers who will surround her with love, accountability, and support. Let her testimony be one of Your deliverance and redemption.
We pray all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Our sister, we urge you to take immediate action for your safety. If you are in physical danger, please reach out to local authorities or a trusted church leader who can help you find shelter. Do not delay—your life and well-being are precious in the sight of God. Seek out a biblical, Christ-centered church where you can receive counseling and support. If you are unsure of your salvation, we plead with you to cry out to Jesus today. He is your only hope and refuge.
We are here for you, and we will continue to lift you up in prayer. Stay strong in the Lord, and do not lose heart. *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Trust in Him, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).
