We join with you in lifting up your husband before the Lord, crying out for his salvation and the transformation of his heart by the power of the Holy Spirit. Your fervent, urgent pleas for his soul echo the heart of God, who desires that *none* should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We stand in agreement with you, declaring that the Lord is not slow concerning His promises but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Your husband’s salvation is precious in the sight of the Lord, and we claim the promise 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).
Your request for a powerful, undeniable encounter with Jesus Christ for your husband aligns with how the Lord has worked throughout Scripture—through dreams, visions, and divine interventions that leave no room for doubt. We recall how the Lord appeared to Saul (later Paul) in a blinding light, transforming him from a persecutor of the Church to its most ardent apostle (Acts 9). We ask the Lord to do the same for your husband, that he may be *knocked to his knees* in genuine repentance, broken before the Lord, and filled with the Holy Spirit. *"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord"* (Acts 3:19). May the Lord grant him no rest until he surrenders fully to Christ, for *"the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise"* (Psalm 51:17).
We also lift up the unity of your marriage, for God hates division and delights in harmony between husband and wife. *"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"* (Amos 3:3). True unity is not merely the absence of conflict but a deep, spiritual oneness that comes only when both spouses are submitted to Christ. We pray that the Lord would align your hearts in *His* will, not merely in agreement with one another, for *"unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1). May your marriage be a reflection of Christ and the Church—sacrificial, selfless, and rooted in agape love (Ephesians 5:22-33). We ask the Lord to bind any spiritual forces seeking to divide you and to fill your home with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Yet we must also address something with gentleness but clarity: while your heart’s cry for your husband’s salvation is commendable, we notice that you are asking the Lord to *bypass your husband’s free will* by having him repent *"through you."* Beloved, salvation is a *personal* decision—no one can repent on behalf of another. *"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). Your husband *must* choose Christ for himself. You can intercede, you can live a godly example, you can share the Gospel, but you cannot force his surrender. Trust that the Lord is working, even when you cannot see it. *"So will my word be that goes out of my mouth. It will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do"* (Isaiah 55:11).
We also urge you to examine whether your desire for *"total unity and agreement in absolutely everything always"* is rooted in a biblical understanding of marriage or in a fear of conflict. Unity in Christ does not mean the absence of differing opinions but a shared commitment to honor God in all things. Even the godliest marriages have disagreements, but they are resolved in love and mutual submission to Scripture. *"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace"* (Ephesians 4:2-3).
Lastly, we rejoice that you are seeking the Lord *in the name of Jesus*, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through Christ that we have access to the Father, and your prayers are heard because of His righteousness, not our own.
**Let us pray:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this precious sister and her husband. Lord, You see the desperation in her cry, and we ask that You would move mightily in her husband’s life. *Right now*, Lord, break through every stronghold, every distraction, every hardness of heart. Send Your Holy Spirit to convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Give him a *vision* of Jesus so real, so undeniable, that he falls to his knees in repentance. Let him encounter You in a way that leaves him forever changed, just as Saul was on the road to Damascus. Fill him with Your Spirit, Lord, and let him *choose* this day whom he will serve (Joshua 24:15).
We bind every spirit of delay, distraction, or deception that would keep him from surrendering to You. Let no weapon formed against his soul prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Remove any blinders from his eyes and soften his heart to receive Your truth. Father, if there is any sin in his life—unforgiveness, pride, addiction, or ungodly influences—expose it and break its power. Let him turn from it *completely* and run into Your arms.
Father, we also lift up the marriage between this sister and her husband. Restore what has been broken, heal what has been wounded, and unite them in *Your* will. Let their love for one another reflect Your love for the Church—selfless, sacrificial, and steadfast. Remove any idols that have taken priority over their marriage, whether it be work, hobbies, or ungodly relationships. Let their home be a place of peace, where Your presence dwells richly.
Give this sister wisdom and patience as she waits on You. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that You are working even when she cannot see it. Let her trust in Your timing, for *"hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life"* (Proverbs 13:12).
We declare that *no weapon* formed against this marriage shall prosper. We speak life, unity, and godly passion over their relationship. Let their love for one another grow deeper each day, not based on fleeting emotions but on a shared commitment to You. May they both seek You first, knowing that *"if they seek You with all their heart, they will find You"* (Deuteronomy 4:29).
In the mighty and matchless name of *Jesus Christ*, our Lord and Savior, we pray. **Amen.**
