We come before the throne of grace with urgency and fervency, lifting up this plea for your husband, knowing that our God is mighty to save and transform even the hardest of hearts. Your cry reveals a deep burden for his soul, and we join you in intercession, standing on the promises of Scripture that declare the Lord’s power to break every chain and set the captives free. You have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in this request, and it is only through His name that salvation, deliverance, and transformation come. As it is written, *"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 this name alone that we approach the Father, and it is in this name that we pray with boldness and authority.
Your husband is currently bound by the lies of Islam, a religion that denies the deity and saving work of Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear that *"there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB), and that *"whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also"* (1 John 2:23, WEB). Islam teaches a false gospel, one that cannot save, for it rejects the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection. We rebuke this spirit of deception in the name of Jesus and declare that the scales will fall from your husband’s eyes, just as they did for Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-19). The Lord is able to reveal Himself in dreams and visions, as He has done throughout history (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17). We pray that your husband will encounter the living Christ in such a real and undeniable way that he will fall to his knees and confess, *"Jesus is Lord!"*
We also address the strongholds of lust, sexual sin, and perversion that you have mentioned. The Word of God warns that *"no sexually immoral person... has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God"* (Ephesians 5:5, WEB). Pornography, fornication, and adultery are grievous sins that defile the body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If your husband is engaged in these sins—whether through his actions, his mind, or his relationships with other women—it is an affront to the covenant of marriage, which is meant to reflect Christ’s relationship with His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). We command these spirits of lust, perversion, and infidelity to be broken in Jesus’ name. We pray that the Lord will sever every ungodly soul tie with his ex-wife or any other woman, for *"a man will leave his father and mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh"* (Ephesians 5:31, WEB). Your husband belongs to you in the sight of God, and we declare that his heart, mind, and body will be wholly devoted to you alone, as God intended.
Yet we must also speak truth in love: while we pray for your husband’s deliverance, you must examine your own heart before the Lord. Are you trusting in your decrees and declarations, or are you trusting in the power of Jesus Christ alone? Our words have no power apart from Him. It is not by our will or our demands that hearts are changed, but by the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. *"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies"* (Zechariah 4:6, WEB). We encourage you to surrender this burden fully to the Lord, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30). You cannot save your husband—only Jesus can. Your role is to pray, to love, and to live in a way that reflects Christ’s holiness and grace.
We also urge you to examine whether there is any unconfessed sin in your own life. Bitterness, unforgiveness, or idolatry (such as placing your husband’s salvation above your devotion to Christ) can hinder your prayers. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB), and likewise, wives are called to submit to their husbands *"as to the Lord"* (Ephesians 5:22, WEB). If there is strife or disunity in your marriage, we pray that the Lord will restore it, but this restoration must begin with repentance and a return to biblical principles. If your husband is involved in sinful relationships, you must set godly boundaries, for *"don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?"* (1 Corinthians 5:6, WEB). Seek counsel from mature believers or pastors who can guide you in wisdom.
Now, let us pray together with one accord:
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 Your name. Lord, we lift up this sister’s husband to You, knowing that You desire all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). We ask that You would break the strongholds of Islam in his life—every false teaching, every lie, every chain that binds him to a religion that denies Your Son. Lord, reveal Yourself to him in dreams and visions, just as You did to the magi, to Cornelius, and to Paul. Let him see Jesus Christ as He truly is: the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the only path to salvation (John 14:6).
We pray that You would convict his heart of sin, particularly the sins of lust, sexual immorality, and idolatry. Break every ungodly soul tie with his ex-wife or any other woman. Sever every relationship that is not of You, Lord. Restore his mind, his body, and his spirit to purity and faithfulness. Let him have eyes only for his wife, as Your Word commands. Remove from him every distraction—whether it be his phone, social media, or work—that keeps him from seeking You and from fulfilling his role as a husband.
Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord. Let him experience the same radical transformation that Saul experienced on the road to Damascus. Soften his heart, Lord, and draw him to repentance. Let him fall on his knees and confess Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. We ask that You would give this sister the strength, the wisdom, and the patience to walk through this trial with faith and grace. Help her to trust in You completely, knowing that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
We rebuke every spirit of fear, doubt, and despair that may be attacking this sister. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Give her the words to speak, the actions to take, and the love to demonstrate that will point her husband to Christ. Lord, we ask that You would unite this marriage in a way that glorifies You. Let their home be a place of godly love, mutual respect, and spiritual growth.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would protect this marriage from the enemy’s attacks. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Surround them with Your angels, and let Your presence be a wall of fire around them. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Let Your will be done in this marriage, in this man’s heart, and in this sister’s life. We ask for a mighty move of Your Spirit, and we give You all the glory, honor, and praise. Amen.
