We join with you in this urgent and powerful cry for your husband’s soul, and we stand in agreement that the Lord will move mightily in his life. Your passion for his salvation and deliverance is evident, and we commend you for contending in prayer for him. There is no greater love than to intercede for a lost soul, and we know that God hears your pleas. The Scriptures remind us that "the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven" (James 5:15, WEB). Even more, we are assured that "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 husband is not beyond the reach of God’s grace, and we declare that the Lord will draw him into a life-transforming encounter with Jesus Christ.
We also recognize the spiritual warfare at play here. Your husband has been bound by the chains of false religion, idolatry, and sin, but we serve a God who is greater than any stronghold. The Word of God declares, "The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5, WEB). We take authority in the name of Jesus over every Islamic spirit, every idol, every demonic influence, and every sinful bondage in your husband’s life. We decree that these strongholds are broken, and that the enemy has no legal right to him any longer. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word, and we command every unclean spirit to flee in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Your prayer also highlights the need for your husband to sever ungodly soul ties, particularly with his ex-wife and any other woman who is not you. Soul ties formed outside of God’s design—whether through past marriages, emotional attachments, or sexual sin—can create spiritual and emotional bondage. The Scriptures warn us, "Don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, ‘The two,’ says he, ‘will become one flesh.’ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit" (1 Corinthians 6:16-17, WEB). We pray that every ungodly soul tie in your husband’s life is severed by the power of the Holy Spirit. We declare that his heart, mind, and body are released from any lingering attachment to his past, and that he is set free to love you as Christ loves the Church—exclusively, faithfully, and selflessly.
We also address the issue of lust, pornography, and sexual sin in your husband’s life. These are tools of the enemy to distort God’s design for intimacy and to enslave men and women in shame and bondage. The Bible is clear: "Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or 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 6:18-20, WEB). We rebuke every spirit of lust, perversion, and addiction in your husband’s life. We pray that his eyes and heart are purified, that he turns away from these sins, and that he is filled with a holy desire for the things of God. We ask the Lord to remove any access to temptation—whether through his phone, social media, or other influences—and to replace it with a hunger for righteousness.
Most importantly, we agree with you that your husband must have a personal, life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Salvation cannot be forced or inherited; it is a personal choice to surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. While you can pray and decree on his behalf, he must ultimately choose to repent and invite Jesus into his heart. We pray that the Holy Spirit will convict him deeply of his need for a Savior. We ask that the Lord will speak to him in dreams and visions, just as He did with men like Cornelius in the Bible (Acts 10). We pray that your husband will fall on his knees in broken repentance, confessing Jesus as Lord, and that he will be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. "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. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart of urgency and faith, lifting up this precious husband to You. Lord, You are the God of miracles, the Breaker of chains, and the Redeemer of souls. We ask that You move in his life right now with divine power and authority. Lord Jesus, reveal Yourself to him in an undeniable way. Speak to him in dreams and visions, and let him encounter Your presence so tangibly that he cannot deny You. Holy Spirit, we ask that You convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Break every stronghold of Islam in his life—every false god, every idol, every ritual, and every lie that has kept him in bondage. We declare that the scales fall from his eyes, and that he sees Jesus as the only Way, the Truth, and the Life.
We command every demonic spirit assigned to his life—spirits of Islam, idolatry, lust, pornography, perversion, arrogance, hardness of heart, unbelief, fear, control, domination, workaholism, hatred, bitterness, and sexual sin—to be bound and cast out now in the name of Jesus. We sever every ungodly soul tie he has with his ex-wife and any other woman who is not his wife. We declare that his heart is purified and set apart for You, Lord, and for his marriage. Restore his mind, Lord, and renew his thoughts with Your Word. Remove every temptation from his path, especially through his phone and social media, and replace it with a hunger for Your presence.
Father, we pray that You bring him to his knees in repentance. Let him sincerely ask Jesus into his heart and life, turning away from all sin and surrendering fully to You. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let him be born again. Give him a new heart and a new spirit, and write Your laws upon his heart. Let him become a man after Your own heart, a husband who loves and leads his wife in Your ways, and a father (if applicable) who raises his children in the fear of the Lord.
We also pray for this wife who is interceding so fervently. Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your peace and hope. Let her not grow weary in praying for her husband, but let her see the fruit of her labor in due season. Surround her with Your comfort and assurance that You are working all things together for good.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We believe that You are moving even now, and we give You all the glory. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage will prosper, and that every tongue that rises against it in judgment will be condemned. This husband *will* be saved, delivered, and transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. We speak life, redemption, and restoration over this marriage, and we trust You to complete the good work You have begun.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing in faith. Do not grow weary in praying for your husband, for "the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" (James 5:16, WEB). Keep speaking life and Scripture over him, and trust that God is working even when you cannot see it. We also encourage you to examine your own heart and ensure that you are walking in forgiveness, love, and submission to the Lord. A marriage thrives when both partners are surrendered to Christ.
If your husband has not yet made a decision for Christ, continue to live out your faith in front of him. "In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear" (1 Peter 3:1-2, WEB). Your godly example, combined with your prayers, can be a powerful testimony to him.
We will continue to pray for you both, and we trust that the Lord will bring about a mighty transformation in your husband’s life. Stay encouraged, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith.
