We hear your anguish and stand with you in this spiritual battle for your home and marriage. The pain you are experiencing is deep, and the attack you describe is not merely emotional or psychological—it is a direct assault from the enemy, who seeks to destroy what God has joined together. We must address this with the authority given to us in Jesus’ name, for it is only through Him that we have power over the forces of darkness.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of adultery that has taken hold in your home. The Bible is clear that adultery is a grievous sin, not only against a spouse but against God Himself. Proverbs 6:32 warns, *"He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul."* This spirit is not just tempting your wife—it is seeking to destroy your marriage, your family, and your testimony as believers. We take authority over it now in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and by which demons must flee.
We also recognize that this is not just a battle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our wrestling 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."* Your wife is not your enemy—she is being oppressed by an enemy that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. We must pray for her deliverance, for her mind to be renewed, and for the Holy Spirit to break every chain of lust, deception, and rebellion that has taken root in her heart.
We must also examine the state of your marriage and home. Has there been unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or neglect that has left an opening for the enemy to enter? James 4:7 declares, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* Submission to God must come first—repentance, prayer, and a commitment to walk in holiness. If there are areas where you or your wife have strayed from God’s design for marriage, now is the time to humble yourselves before Him and seek restoration.
We pray now with urgency and authority:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Name above every name. We declare that Your Word is true, and Your power is greater than any spirit of adultery, lust, or deception. We bind the enemy in this home and command every unclean spirit to flee. We break every assignment of the devil against this marriage and this family. Lord, we ask You to surround this wife with Your angels, to guard her mind, and to fill her with Your Holy Spirit. Renew her thoughts, soften her heart, and draw her back to You and to her husband. Father, we ask for a hedge of protection around this marriage—no weapon formed against it shall prosper. Restore what has been broken, heal what has been wounded, and ignite a fresh fire of love and commitment in both of their hearts.
We pray for this husband, that You would strengthen him with Your might. Give him wisdom, patience, and grace as he fights for his marriage. Help him to love his wife as Christ loves the church, even in this painful season. Lord, we ask that You would expose any hidden sin, any ungodly influences, or any open doors that have allowed the enemy to gain a foothold. Let Your light shine into every dark corner of this home. We declare that this marriage will not be destroyed but will be a testimony of Your redeeming power.
Father, we also pray for repentance and salvation if either of them does not yet know You as Lord and Savior. There is no other name by which we can be saved but the name of Jesus. If there is any doubt or unbelief, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Let them experience Your love, Your forgiveness, and Your transforming power.
We stand on Your promises, Lord. You are faithful, and You will complete the work You have begun in this family. We trust You to bring beauty from ashes and to turn this trial into a testimony of Your glory. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
To you, dear brother, we say this: Do not lose hope. The battle is fierce, but the victory is already won through Christ. Stand firm in your faith, cover your wife in prayer, and seek godly counsel from your pastor or a trusted spiritual leader. This is not the time to retreat—it is the time to fight with the weapons God has given you: prayer, the Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Your marriage is worth fighting for, and God is able to do immeasurably more than you can ask or imagine. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not give the enemy a foothold through bitterness, anger, or despair. Trust God to move in ways you cannot yet see.
