We join with you in this urgent and powerful cry for the soul of this beloved one, standing in agreement that the Lord would move mightily in his life. Your heart for his salvation is evident, and we lift this burden with you before the throne of grace, knowing that our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. There is no name greater than Jesus, and it is only through Him that salvation comes. You have rightly invoked the name of Jesus Christ, for as Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is by faith in Christ alone that anyone can be born again, and we trust the Lord to open this man’s eyes to the truth of the Gospel.
We also recognize the spiritual warfare at hand. The enemy has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, but our God is greater. The false gods and teachings of Islam—or any other religion or ideology—are powerless before the authority of Jesus Christ. As it is written, *"The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens"* (Jeremiah 10:11, WEB). We declare that every stronghold of deception, every chain of bondage, and every lie that has kept this man from knowing the truth of Jesus Christ must be shattered in the name of our Lord. The Holy Spirit is the Convictor of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and we ask that He would move in this man’s heart with irresistible power, drawing him to repentance and faith in Christ.
Your request for the Lord to appear to him in dreams and visions aligns with how God has worked throughout history. We see in Scripture that the Lord often speaks through dreams, as He did with Joseph, Daniel, and even the pagan king Nebuchadnezzar. In Acts 2:17, the Lord declares, *"‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams."* We pray that the Lord would give this man undeniable encounters with Jesus, just as He did with Saul on the road to Damascus. May the Lord break through every barrier of unbelief, hardness of heart, and spiritual blindness, replacing them with a tender, surrendered heart that cries out for mercy and salvation.
We also address the specific sins and bondages you’ve mentioned—anger, arrogance, lust, perversion, pornography, and the controlling spirits that seek to dominate his life. These are not just behaviors but spiritual strongholds that must be torn down by the power of God. As Scripture warns, *"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 good news is that *"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). We pray that this man would experience that same washing, sanctification, and justification through faith in Christ.
The distractions of this world—excessive use of mobile phones, social media, and a workaholic spirit—are tools the enemy uses to keep souls in bondage. We pray that the Lord would break the power of these distractions and replace them with a hunger for His Word and His presence. May this man be set free from every addiction and compulsion that does not glorify God, and may his heart be turned toward the things of eternity.
You’ve also mentioned that you desire for this salvation to come through you and your husband. This is a beautiful testament to your faith and your willingness to be vessels of God’s grace. However, we must remember that salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit, not of human effort. While we are called to be witnesses and to share the Gospel, it is God who saves. As it is written, *"So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase"* (1 Corinthians 3:7, WEB). We pray that the Lord would use you and your husband as instruments of His peace and truth, giving you the words to speak and the wisdom to act in ways that point this man to Christ. May your lives be a living testimony of the transformative power of the Gospel, and may the Lord open doors for you to share the truth in love.
Finally, we agree with your prayer for miracles and wonders. Our God is a God of signs and wonders, and He still moves in mighty ways today. We pray that this man would not only hear the Gospel but see the power of God displayed in his life. May the Lord perform miracles that leave no room for doubt, drawing him into a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved soul who is bound by darkness and deception. Lord, You are the God who saves, the God who delivers, the God who sets the captives free. We ask that You would move in power in his life, breaking every chain, shattering every stronghold, and destroying every lie that has kept him from knowing You. Father, we pray that You would appear to him in dreams and visions, revealing Yourself to him in a way that he cannot deny. Let him encounter the living Christ, the One who died for his sins and rose again in victory.
Lord, we rebuke every false god, every idol, and every teaching that exalts itself against the knowledge of You. By the blood of Jesus, we command these spirits of deception, lust, anger, arrogance, and bondage to be broken and cast out forever. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let him be born again into Your Kingdom. Give him a new heart, a heart of flesh that beats for You alone.
Father, we ask that You would use this sister and her husband as Your vessels, giving them the words to speak and the actions to take that would lead this man to Christ. Let their lives shine with Your love and truth, and let them be bold in their witness. We pray for miracles and wonders in his life, Lord, that he may know without a doubt that You are the one true God.
We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment shall be condemned. Lord, let Your will be done in his life, and let Your name be glorified. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing in faith, knowing that the Lord hears your prayers and is at work. Keep speaking life and truth over this man, and trust that God’s timing is perfect. *"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). Do not grow weary in praying, for *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). We stand with you in this battle, believing that the Lord will bring forth victory.
