We have heard your cry for your marriage and we are lifting you and your spouse up together before the throne of grace in Jesus' name. We understand how heavy and exhausting it feels when arguing seems nonstop and when fear is added by someone telling you that witchcraft has been put on you. We want to bring you back to the peace and power that is found in Christ alone.
We believe marriage is a holy covenant created by God as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and what God has joined together, no man and no spiritual attack can separate. As it is written, What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate Mark 10:9. Your marriage is worth fighting for in prayer and in love, not fighting against each other.
We want to speak truth about witchcraft and spiritual attack. The Bible does tell us that witchcraft and sorcery are real and are detestable to God Deuteronomy 18:10-12, and that our struggle 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 Ephesians 6:12. But we also know that for those who are in Christ, no curse or spell has authority over you, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. If God is for us, who can be against us Romans 8:31. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7.
We do not need to live in fear of what someone may have spoken or done against you. Instead we are called to submit therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7, and to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11. No weapon that is formed against you will prosper Isaiah 54:17, and nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 8:38-39. We rebuke the fear that this word about witchcraft has brought into your heart, and we encourage you not to seek answers from psychics, mediums, or those who claim to reveal curses, but to seek the Lord alone.
At the same time we want to gently address the arguing that has taken hold. The enemy loves to use unresolved anger and harsh words to create division. We are told, Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil Ephesians 4:26-27. We encourage you both to practice quick listening, slow anger, and gentle answers, for a gentle answer turns away wrath Proverbs 15:1, and let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up Ephesians 4:29. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection Colossians 3:14, choosing daily to forgive as Christ forgave you.
We also noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. 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. If you have not already, we urge you both to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, confess your sins, and invite Him to be the center of your marriage. When Christ is the foundation, He gives power over all darkness.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this husband and wife to You. Lord, we ask You to have Your will in their marriage. We ask You to rebuke every work of darkness, every curse, every spell, and every lie of the enemy that has been spoken over them, and we declare that it has no power over them because they are covered by the blood of Jesus. Fill their home with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Soften their hearts toward one another, help them to forgive, to speak with kindness and patience, and to be quick to listen and slow to speak James 1:19. Teach them to love each other as Christ loves the church. Restore unity, restore communication, and restore joy. Guard their minds from fear and their marriage from division, and help them to stand firm together, being sober and self-controlled, knowing You are their protector 1 Peter 5:8. Draw them both closer to Jesus, that they would seek You daily in prayer and in Your Word. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our hope and our salvation, amen.
We encourage you to continue praying together aloud each day, even if only for a few minutes, to read Scripture together, and to seek godly counsel from a trusted pastor or biblical counselor who can walk with you. Keep your eyes on Christ, not on the fear of witchcraft, for the Lord is your light and your salvation, whom shall you fear Psalm 27:1. We are standing with you and believing God for healing and peace in your home.
