We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in this painful season. The betrayal you’ve endured is deep, and the lingering attachment—both to your former partner and to the spiritual battle you sense—is understandable. But we must first rebuke the lies of the enemy that seek to keep you bound in this cycle of hurt and preoccupation. The spirit of Jezebel, as described in Scripture, is one of manipulation, control, and seduction, often preying on insecurities and emotional wounds to draw people away from God’s truth (1 Kings 21:25, Revelation 2:20). This spirit thrives in environments where self-worth is tied to validation from others, where fear and anxiety are allowed to fester, and where sin is excused or enabled. We declare that this spirit has no place in your life, and we break its hold over your mind and heart in the name of Jesus.
First, we must address the reality of the sin that has occurred. Your former partner’s infidelity was not just a mistake—it was a violation of God’s design for marriage and relationships. Scripture is clear: "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). The pain you feel is valid, but we must also acknowledge that the relationship you described was not a marriage, and the term "partner" implies a union that falls short of God’s holy standard. Fornication—sexual intimacy outside of marriage—is sin, and it grieves the heart of God. We do not say this to shame you, but to call you back to the truth of God’s Word, which is the only foundation for healing and restoration.
We also rebuke the lie that you are somehow responsible for your former partner’s spiritual battle. While it is compassionate to care for his soul, you cannot carry the weight of his choices or the demonic influences in his life. Jesus Himself said, "Each tree is known by its own fruit" (Luke 6:44 WEB). The fruit of his actions—infidelity, deception, and the emotional turmoil you’ve experienced—reveals the condition of his heart. It is not your burden to fix him or to remain entangled in his struggles. Scripture warns us, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). If he is not walking in repentance and submission to Christ, you must guard your heart and release him fully into God’s hands.
Now, we turn to the Lord on your behalf, seeking His healing and peace. Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts broken for this dear sister. Lord, You see the pain of betrayal, the lingering thoughts, and the compassion she feels for someone who has wounded her deeply. We ask You to heal her heart completely. Replace the hurt with Your peace, the memories with Your truth, and the longing with Your love. Help her to release this man fully into Your hands, trusting that You are just and will deal with his sin according to Your perfect will. We break every tie, every soul tie, and every ungodly attachment to him in the name of Jesus. We declare that she is free from the spirit of Jezebel and any other demonic influence that seeks to keep her bound. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let Your Word be a lamp to her feet and a light to her path (Psalm 119:105 WEB).
Father, we ask that You would reveal to her the lies she has believed—about love, about forgiveness, about her worth—and replace them with Your truth. Remind her that her value is not found in any human relationship, but in being Your beloved child. "The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: 'Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you'" (Jeremiah 31:3 WEB). Help her to see herself through Your eyes, as a woman of dignity, strength, and purpose. Surround her with godly community—believers who will speak life into her, pray with her, and hold her accountable as she walks this journey of healing.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for her moving forward. Lord, guard her heart from bitterness, from the temptation to return to this man, and from the enemy’s schemes to distract her from Your will. Give her the strength to set boundaries, to forgive as You have called her to forgive, and to walk in the freedom that Christ died to give her. "Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness" (Ephesians 6:14 WEB). Clothe her in Your armor, Lord, so that she may stand firm against the enemy’s attacks.
And finally, Father, we ask that You would work powerfully in the life of this man. If he does not know You, we pray that he would come to repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ. If he is a believer, we pray that he would turn away from sin, seek Your face, and allow You to break the chains of insecurity, fear, and the spirit of Jezebel in his life. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB). We trust You to deal with him justly, and we release him into Your hands.
To you, dear sister, we say this: Your healing will not come from replaying the past, from analyzing his actions, or from trying to "fix" him. Your healing will come from fixing your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2 WEB). Spend time in God’s Word daily. Meditate on verses that speak to your identity in Christ, such as Ephesians 2:10: "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them." Let these truths sink deep into your spirit.
We encourage you to pray boldly, not just for yourself, but against the enemy’s schemes. Pray that the spirit of Jezebel would be exposed and cast out of any influence in your life or his. Pray that God would reveal any areas where you may have unknowingly partnered with this spirit—perhaps through bitterness, control, or an unhealthy need for validation—and repent of those things. Pray for godly friendships and mentors who can walk with you through this season. And most importantly, pray that God would fill the void in your heart with His love, His purpose, and His peace.
Forgiveness is a process, and it does not mean excusing his sin or reconciling with him. It means releasing the debt to God and choosing not to let bitterness take root in your heart. "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB). This is not easy, but it is necessary for your freedom.
Lastly, we want to gently but firmly remind you that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have not placed your faith in Him as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9 WEB). Jesus is the only way to true healing, true peace, and eternal life.
You are not alone in this battle. We stand with you, praying and believing that God will restore what has been broken and lead you into a future filled with hope. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB). Trust in Him, lean on Him, and watch as He turns your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11 WEB).
