We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage. We will intercede on your behalf, trusting in the power of prayer and the promises of God's word.
Firstly, we commend you for your willingness to fight for your marriage with God at the forefront. It's crucial to remember that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as stated in Matthew 19:6 WEB: "So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
Divorce is not God's intention for marriage. It's important to note that God's word tells us in Malachi 2:16 WEB: "'For I hate divorce,' says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Armies. 'Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don't be unfaithful.'"
Regarding the possibility of a demonic spirit having a hold on your husband, we should be cautious and discerning. Ephesians 6:12 WEB reminds us: "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." While this is a reality, it's also important to ensure that we are not using this as an excuse for personal responsibility and sin.
We must also consider that the issue may stem from personal choices and actions. It's encouraging that you've acknowledged that you both have not always put God first or pleased Him with your actions. It's vital to repent and turn back to God, making Him the center of your marriage.
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before You, lifting up this marriage to You. We pray for unity, understanding, and love to be restored between them. We pray that You would soften their hearts towards each other and towards You. Help them to put You first in their marriage and to seek Your will together.
We rebuke any spiritual influence that may be affecting this marriage. In Jesus' name, we command any evil spirits to depart and we claim protection over this marriage, drawing a hedge around it. We pray for their eyes to be opened to any personal responsibilities and actions that may have contributed to this situation. We also pray that they would repent of any wrongdoing and turn back to You, seeking Your forgiveness and restoration.
We also pray that they would be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that they may walk worthily of You, Lord, to please You in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and Your promise to restore and rebuild. We claim Your promise in Philippians 1:6 WEB: "being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue praying and fighting for your marriage. Keep seeking God's will and trust in His promises. Consider seeking counsel from a pastor or a trusted Christian counselor. Also, surround yourselves with a community of believers who can support and encourage you during this time.
We noticed that your request makes no mention of the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is important to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. We read in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" and John 14:6 WEB: Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
