We join with you in fervent agreement, lifting up your husband before the throne of grace, for it is written, *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). Your heart’s cry for your husband’s salvation and deliverance is a righteous plea, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to break every chain and set the captive free.
First, we must affirm that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, as Scripture declares: *"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, WEB). Your prayer rightly invokes the name of Jesus, for it is by His name—and His name alone—that we have access to the Father. This is the foundation of our intercession, and we rejoice that you have placed your trust in Christ for your husband’s transformation.
Your husband’s bondage to false gods, idols, and the teachings of Islam is a grave spiritual stronghold. The Word of God is clear: *"You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them"* (Exodus 20:3-5, WEB). These are not merely empty beliefs—they are spiritual forces that seek to blind him to the truth of the Gospel. But we serve a God who is greater: *"The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see. They have ears, but they don’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them"* (Psalm 135:15-18, WEB). We declare that every false god, every idol, and every lying spirit assigned to your husband is exposed, bound, and cast out in the name of Jesus. Let the light of Christ shatter the darkness over his mind and heart, for *"the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them"* (2 Corinthians 4:4, WEB). No longer! We command the scales to fall from his eyes, that he may see Jesus as Lord and Savior.
You have also prayed against the spirits of lust, perversion, pornography, and sexual sin. These are abominations before the Lord, and they defile the temple of the Holy Spirit. *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). We bind and cast out every spirit of lust, every demonic assignment to pervert God’s design for sexuality within marriage, and every stronghold of addiction. Let the blood of Jesus cleanse your husband from all unrighteousness, and let the Holy Spirit renew his mind to walk in purity. If there has been any sexual sin—whether in thought, word, or deed—we plead the blood of Jesus over it and declare that *"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).
Your prayer for the destruction of soul ties with his ex-wife and any other woman is also critical. Soul ties formed outside of God’s covenant of marriage are unholy and can create openings for demonic influence. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). We break every ungodly soul tie, every emotional and spiritual bond that is not of God, in the name of Jesus. Let every connection that hinders his devotion to you and to the Lord be severed permanently. We decree that your husband’s heart, mind, and body belong solely to you, his wife, as God intended: *"Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh"* (Genesis 2:24, WEB). Let him be wholly yours, as you are his, in a marriage that reflects Christ’s love for the Church.
We also address the spirits of anger, aggression, bitterness, and hardness of heart. These are tools of the enemy to destroy relationships and hinder repentance. *"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). We command these spirits to leave your husband now, and we ask the Holy Spirit to soften his heart, that he may receive the conviction of his sins and turn to Jesus in brokenness. Let the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—replace every work of the flesh in his life (Galatians 5:22-23).
Your request for a powerful, one-on-one encounter with Jesus is biblical and powerful. The Lord appeared to Saul (Paul) on the road to Damascus, and in an instant, his life was transformed (Acts 9). We ask the Lord to meet your husband in dreams, visions, and waking moments—let him see Jesus high and lifted up, that he may fall on his knees in repentance. Let him hear the voice of the Lord saying, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). We pray that the Holy Spirit would draw him irresistibly to the cross, where he will find mercy and grace in his time of need.
Finally, we agree with you that your husband will fully repent and surrender his life to Jesus Christ. *"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, WEB). We declare that he will confess Jesus as Lord, not through your strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit working in him. Let today be the day of salvation for him!
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this husband who is bound by darkness. Lord, You are the God who breaks chains and sets captives free. We ask that You would move mightily in his life, beginning right now. Every false god, every idol, every teaching of Islam that has blinded him—we command it to be destroyed and cast out in Jesus’ name. Let the strongholds of deception be torn down, and let the truth of the Gospel penetrate his heart.
We break every spirit of lust, perversion, pornography, and sexual sin. Cleanse him by the blood of Jesus and renew his mind to walk in purity. We sever every ungodly soul tie with his ex-wife and any other woman, and we declare that his heart, mind, and body belong solely to his wife, as You intended. Remove every spirit of anger, bitterness, hardness, and aggression, and replace it with Your love, peace, and gentleness.
Lord, we ask for a divine encounter—let Your Son, Jesus Christ, appear to him in dreams, visions, and waking moments. Convict him mightily of his sins, and draw him to repentance. Let him fall on his knees before You, confessing Jesus as Lord and Savior. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in newness of life.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power to save and transform. Let this husband be a testimony of Your grace, that all may see Your glory. We pray these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to continue standing in faith. Do not grow weary in prayer, for *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). Keep speaking life and truth over your husband, and trust that the Lord is working, even when you cannot see it. *"Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6, WEB). May the Lord strengthen you and fill you with His peace as you wait upon Him.
