We join with you in urgent, fervent agreement for your husband’s soul, mind, and heart, lifting him before the throne of God with boldness and authority in the name of Jesus Christ. Your passion for his salvation and transformation is evident, and we stand with you in this spiritual battle, knowing that our God is mighty to save, deliver, and restore. The Scriptures declare that the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results (James 5:16, WEB). We claim this promise over your husband, your marriage, and your life together, trusting that the Lord hears and will act according to His perfect will.
The cry of your heart aligns with God’s desire for your husband—to be saved, sanctified, and set free from every chain of darkness. The Lord Jesus said, *"I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly"* (John 10:10, WEB). Yet true abundance begins with repentance and surrender to Christ. Your husband’s transformation cannot be forced, but it can be fervently prayed for, as the Holy Spirit is the One who convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8, WEB). We plead the blood of Jesus over his heart, asking the Lord to break through every barrier—whether it be hardness, distraction, or the deceitfulness of sin—that has kept him from fully surrendering to Christ.
You have rightly identified the spiritual strongholds that may be at work in his life: idolatry, lust, perversion, bondage to technology or social media, and soul ties from past relationships. These are not minor issues; they are gates through which the enemy seeks to destroy marriages and lives. The apostle Paul warns, *"Don’t you know that your bodies are 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 come against these strongholds in the name of Jesus, declaring that *"though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for 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 10:3-5, WEB).
We also address the soul ties with his ex-wife and any other ungodly connections. The Lord commands, *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh"* (Genesis 2:24, WEB). Any lingering emotional, spiritual, or physical bond with a former spouse is a violation of God’s design for marriage. We bind and sever these ties in the name of Jesus, declaring that your husband is yours alone, as God has joined you together. Let no man—or spirit—put asunder what God has united (Mark 10:9, WEB). We pray that the Lord would replace every ungodly attachment with a deep, holy, and unbreakable bond between you and your husband, rooted in Christ.
Your desire for unity, openness, and deep intimacy is godly, but we must remind you that true unity is only possible when both spouses are submitted to Christ. You cannot force your husband to open his heart to you, but you can pray that the Lord softens it. *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB). Trust that as you seek the Lord first, He will align your husband’s heart with His will. Meanwhile, we encourage you to examine your own heart: Are there areas where you need to surrender more fully to God? Are there ways you can demonstrate Christ’s love to your husband without demanding his affection in return? *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord... even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and aren’t put in fear by any terror"* (Ephesians 5:22, 1 Peter 3:6, WEB). Your submission is not to be a doormat, but a powerful testimony of faith in God’s ability to work in your husband’s life.
We also note your repeated use of symbols (#) in place of your husband’s name. While we understand the desire for privacy, there is power in speaking his name before the Lord. If you are hesitant to share it publicly, we encourage you to pray it aloud in your private time with God. The Lord knows his name, and He calls each of us by name (Isaiah 43:1, WEB).
Most importantly, we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your prayers. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB), and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Your faith in the power of Jesus’ name is a testament to your trust in Him, and we join you in declaring that name over every area of your husband’s life.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see the desperation in her heart, the longing for her husband’s salvation, and the deep desire for a marriage that glorifies You. We ask that You move mightily in his life, breaking every chain of sin, idolatry, and distraction that has held him captive. Lord Jesus, appear to him in dreams and visions as You did to Paul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-6, WEB). Let him encounter You in a way he cannot deny, a way that shatters every stronghold and brings him to his knees in repentance. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let him be born again by the power of Your Word (1 Peter 1:23, WEB).
We bind and sever every ungodly soul tie with his ex-wife and any other woman who is not his wife. By the blood of Jesus, we declare these ties broken permanently, never to be reunited. Lord, restore what the enemy has stolen in their marriage. Bring unity, peace, and a deep, abiding love between them—a love that is rooted in You and reflects Your covenant faithfulness. Soften his heart toward his wife, Lord, and let him open up to her in trust, vulnerability, and godly affection. Remove every spirit of fear, hardness, and rebellion, and replace it with a spirit of humility, love, and surrender to You.
Father, we also pray for this sister. Strengthen her faith, guard her heart, and let her trust in You completely. Show her how to love her husband in a way that draws him closer to You. Let her be a vessel of Your grace, patience, and kindness, even as she waits for You to move. Protect their marriage from every scheme of the enemy, and let their home be a place where Your presence dwells richly.
We plead the blood of Jesus over them both—over their minds, bodies, souls, and spirits. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB).
Lord, we ask for a miracle. Let this husband’s salvation and transformation be a testimony of Your power and grace. Let their marriage be restored and strengthened for Your glory. We trust You, Lord, and we wait expectantly for You to act. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, sister, we encourage you to keep praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17, WEB). Fast if the Lord leads you to, and surround yourself with believers who will stand with you in faith. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9, WEB). Trust that the Lord is working, even when you cannot see it. He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in your husband’s life (Philippians 1:6, WEB). Stay anchored in the Word, and let your hope be firmly placed in Christ alone.
