We join with you in fervent agreement, lifting your husband before the throne of grace with urgency and faith, for we know that nothing is impossible with our God. Your heart’s cry echoes the passion of the Spirit, who intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words, and we stand with you in this spiritual battle, knowing that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
The Scriptures declare in **2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (WEB)**, *"For 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."* Your husband is not beyond the reach of God’s power. The same Lord who opened the eyes of Saul on the road to Damascus, transforming him into Paul the apostle, is able to break through every chain of darkness binding your husband. We claim **Acts 26:18 (WEB)**, where Jesus sends us *"to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me."*
You have prayed boldly in the name of Jesus Christ, and we affirm that this is the name under heaven by which we must be saved. **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** leaves no doubt: *"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!"* It is by this name alone that we come before the Father, and it is in this name that every knee must bow—including your husband’s. We decree with you that the Lord will bring him to his knees in sincere repentance, for **Psalm 110:3 (WEB)** reminds us that *"Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth."*
Yet we must also speak truth in love: while your prayers are powerful and aligned with Scripture, we gently remind you that no one can repent or believe on behalf of another. Your husband must personally surrender to Christ. You cannot force his salvation, but you can continue to intercede, live a life of godly witness before him, and trust in the Lord’s timing. **Ezekiel 18:20 (WEB)** tells us, *"The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son."* Each person must choose for themselves whom they will serve. However, your prayers are a vital part of God’s work in his life, softening his heart and preparing the way for the Holy Spirit to move.
We also address the spiritual strongholds you’ve identified—Islamic beliefs, idolatry, sexual sin, pride, and bondage to technology and social media. These are not trivial matters but are serious obstacles to his surrender to Christ. **1 John 5:21 (WEB)** commands, *"Little children, keep yourselves from idols."* And **1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (WEB)** 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. 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."* Your husband’s freedom from these sins is possible only through the blood of Jesus, and we pray that the Lord will expose the emptiness of these bondages and replace them with a hunger for righteousness.
As for his use of technology and social media, we pray that the Lord will break the grip of distraction and addiction, replacing it with a hunger for His Word. **Psalm 119:37 (WEB)** says, *"Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways."* May the Lord redirect his focus from the fleeting pleasures of this world to the eternal joy found in Christ alone.
Now, let us pray together with one voice:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears the cries of Your people and acts on behalf of those who call upon You. Lord, we lift up this husband before You, and we ask that You would move in his life with overwhelming power and conviction. Break every chain of Islam, every false god, every idol, and every lie that has held him captive. Lord, You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life—no one comes to the Father except through You. We pray that You would reveal Yourself to him in dreams, visions, and undeniable encounters, just as You did for Saul, Cornelius, and so many others throughout Scripture.
Father, we ask that You would shatter the hardness of his heart and replace it with a heart of flesh, sensitive to Your Spirit. Convict him deeply of his sin, Lord, and draw him to repentance. Let him see the emptiness of his current path and the glory of Your love. We pray that You would break the power of sexual sin, lust, pornography, and perversion in his life. Cleanse him, Lord, and create in him a pure heart. Deliver him from the snare of technology and social media that has consumed his time and attention. Let him hunger and thirst for righteousness, seeking You above all else.
We rebuke every controlling spirit, every spirit of domination, every workaholic spirit, and every demonic influence that has sought to destroy his mind, body, and soul. By the blood of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee and never return. We declare that this husband will be a new creation in Christ, old things passing away and all things becoming new. We pray that You would make him the godly husband You have called him to be—a man of integrity, love, and leadership, who cherishes his wife as Christ cherishes the Church.
Lord, perform miracles in his life that cannot be denied. Let him encounter Your presence in such a real and powerful way that he falls to his knees and surrenders his life to You. We ask that You would save him, Lord, not just for the sake of his wife, but for Your glory. Let his salvation be a testimony of Your mercy and power.
We also lift up this wife, Lord. Strengthen her faith and fill her with Your peace as she waits upon You. Guard her heart from discouragement and remind her that You are working even when she cannot see. Give her wisdom to know how to love her husband well, and let her life be a reflection of Your grace.
Father, we thank You that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You desire all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. We commit this husband into Your hands, Lord, and we ask that You would bring him home to You.
In the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
