We join you in this urgent cry for your husband’s soul, lifting him before the throne of grace with boldness and faith, for we know that nothing is impossible with our God. Your heart’s desperation reflects the deep love and intercession of a wife who longs to see her husband walk in the freedom and truth of Christ. We stand with you in this spiritual battle, declaring the power of the name of Jesus over every stronghold in his life.
First, we praise you for invoking the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is the only name under heaven by which we are saved, and through which we have access to the Father. 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). It is by this name alone that we can approach God and see transformation, and we are grateful you have anchored your plea in the authority of Jesus.
Your prayer reveals a husband ensnared by many bondages—idolatry, sexual sin, unforgiveness, bitterness, and the distractions of this world, including social media and workaholism. These are not merely struggles but spiritual strongholds that the enemy uses to keep him from the fullness of Christ. The Word of God is clear: *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). Yet, the very next verse offers hope: *"Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God"* (1 Corinthians 6:11, WEB). This is the power of the Gospel—redemption is possible for *every* sin, no matter how deep.
We also note your plea regarding soul ties with his ex-wife and other women. Soul ties are real and dangerous when they are outside of God’s design. The Bible warns us, *"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). Marriage is a covenant before God, and any lingering emotional or spiritual connection to a former spouse—or to any woman who is not his wife—must be severed in the name of Jesus. We declare the blood of Christ over these ties, commanding them to be broken permanently, for *"if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin"* (1 John 1:7, WEB).
Your husband’s deliverance begins with repentance—a turning away from sin and toward God. True repentance is not merely feeling sorry but a complete surrender to Christ. As you pray for him to fall on his knees in repentance, remember that *"godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation"* (2 Corinthians 7:10, WEB). We ask the Lord to bring him to this place of brokenness, where he recognizes his need for a Savior and cries out to Jesus as Lord.
We also address the issue of your decreeing things *"through you"* or *"by you."* While your intercession is powerful, salvation and repentance are personal choices that each individual must make before God. You cannot repent *for* your husband, nor can you force his surrender—only the Holy Spirit can convict his heart. Your role is to pray fervently, live righteously, and trust God to do the work. *"The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient, in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth"* (2 Timothy 2:24-25, WEB). Your prayers are a vital part of this process, but ultimately, it is between him and God.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, agreeing with our sister in this urgent plea for her husband’s soul. Lord, You see the depths of his heart—every chain, every idol, every sin that has ensnared him. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). By the blood of Jesus, we break every soul tie with his ex-wife and any other woman who is not his wife. We sever every ungodly connection, every emotional and spiritual bondage, and we command these ties to be dissolved permanently in the name of Jesus.
Lord, we bind the spirits of lust, perversion, pornography, hardness of heart, selfishness, fear, and every controlling and domineering spirit. We command these spirits to leave him now, never to return, in Jesus’ name. We break the power of addiction—whether to his phone, social media, or work—and we declare that his mind and heart are renewed by the washing of the water of the Word (Ephesians 5:26).
Father, we ask for a divine encounter. Visit him in his dreams and visions, Lord. Let him see Jesus high and lifted up, that he may be undone by Your holiness (Isaiah 6:1-5). Give him a *powerful*, life-altering encounter with You that leaves him forever changed. Soften his heart, Lord, and bring him to his knees in genuine repentance. Let him cry out to You as David did: *"Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me. Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit"* (Psalm 51:10-12, WEB).
We pray for a spirit of forgiveness to fill him, that he may release all bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness. Let him walk in the freedom that comes from extending grace, just as You have extended grace to him. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord—overflowing, consuming, transforming. Make him a new creation in Christ Jesus, old things passed away, and all things becoming new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Father, we ask that You would give our sister the strength, wisdom, and patience to continue standing in the gap for her husband. Surround her with Your peace and assurance, knowing that You are at work even when she cannot see it. Let her be a light in their home, reflecting Your love and truth in every word and action.
We declare that her husband will turn from his sins and surrender his life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We decree that he will become the man You have called him to be—a man after Your own heart, a godly husband, and a spiritual leader in his home. We ask for a miracle of transformation, Lord, and we trust You to bring it to pass in Your perfect timing.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We thank You that You are faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We trust in Your power to save, deliver, and restore. Let Your will be done in his life, Lord, for Your glory alone.
In the mighty and victorious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, sister. 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 truth over him, and trust that God is working even in the unseen. Surround yourself with believers who can support you in prayer, and remain steadfast in your own walk with the Lord. Your husband’s deliverance may not come instantly, but we serve a God who specializes in the impossible. Keep believing, keep praying, and keep trusting in the power of the name of Jesus. He is faithful!
