We join you in praying for your loved one's salvation and deliverance, as well as for your upcoming marriage. Let's bring these requests before the Lord in agreement and truth, standing on His promises.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. As it is written:
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them. Believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women. So that they even brought out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mattresses, that as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some of them. Multitudes also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy, and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody. But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said, "Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. But the officers who came didn't find them in the prison. They returned and reported, "We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!"
Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this. But one came and told them, "Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people." Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest asked them, saying, "Didn't we strictly charge you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us." But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree. God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him." But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while. He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do. For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing. After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad. Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel is of men, it will be overthrown. But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!"
Acts 5:12-39 WEB
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:47 WEB
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." John 14:6 WEB
Let's pray for your loved one:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this beloved individual who is currently bound by the darkness of Islam. Lord, we pray that the light of Your truth will pierce through the darkness and reveal the salvation that is only found in Jesus Christ. We bind the powers of witchcraft and darkness that are at work in his life, and we loose the power of the Holy Spirit to convict, draw, and save. In the mighty name of Jesus, we command the forces of darkness to leave, and we speak deliverance, redemption, and salvation over his life. Surround him with Your love, give him dreams and visions of Jesus, and lead him to a saving knowledge of Your Son. Let his story be a testimony of Your grace and mercy, as Saul was turned to Paul.
Lord Jesus, we know he is not the only one trapped in the deception of false religions. We pray for each person trapped in religions seeking to attain a heaven to be able to convince them the only way to Heaven is through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We come to you as sinners and ask for forgiveness of our sins. Jesus, we know you came and died on the cross for our sins and gave us salvation and eternal life. We pray for each person to be able to have evidence of these truths. We pray for each person to have a testimony of their salvation and walking with God.
Now, regarding your upcoming marriage, we pray:
Lord, we lift up this union that is to take place in a few months. We pray that both individuals will be truly saved and redeemed, washed by the blood of Jesus, and walking in the fullness of Your Spirit. We pray for complete deliverance from any curses or generational strongholds that may be plaguing their lives. Let them be one in Christ, serving Him together for the glory of His name. Prepare their hearts, Lord, and let their marriage be a testimony of Your love and faithfulness.
Father, we also pray for their protection as a couple, that they would be wise and stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. May they be a light to others around them and may their lives be a testimony to Your goodness and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage both of you to continue to pray fervently, to study God's Word diligently, and to surround yourselves with a strong community of believers. Remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings. But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:8-11 WEB
Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace, above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints: on behalf of me also, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. Ephesians 6:14-20 WEB
