Our words have the power to speak life or death and we get to choose.
Father God, I want to stand and intercede for the marriages listening under the sound of my voice. Maybe it’s the wife, or husband listening or maybe they are listening together but God I just ask that you restore the way they speak about their spouse and their marriage. Lord, I ask that you reveal to them passages and verses that speak life about their circumstances. Your words says, love prospers when a fault is forgiveness but dwelling on it separates close friends. Proverbs 17:9. Lord I pray that through personalizing bible verses for their marriage, spouse and themselves that they are able to prosper through love. I pray that any spirit of bitterness, contention, condemnation or divorce is put to rest in Jesus name. I bind, break and rebuke these spirits sent from the enemy and claim freedom for every person listening under the sound of my voice. Lord we are so sorry that we allowed doors to be open for the enemy to prey after us but we will no longer be bound by the lies of his counterfeit offers. Lord, we thank you for the blood of Jesus that purifies every bit of our marriage, every bit of our spouses and every bit of us. I thank you father for a new marriage filled with your goodness and mercy and your true and constant words, love and integrity. Keep burning through whatever you need to Lord. Do whatever it takes, Father . We love you and give you full reigns of our tongues and how we speak Holy Spirit. Father, we agree and stand and intercede for all marriages listening and do this all for your glory and honor, in your mighty name,
AMEN
Lord right now I pray that under the sound of my voice every person listening surrenders their heart to you right now. I pray that anyone battling with self righteousness, or being seduced by the world, habitual sin or any shortcomings… Lord, I pray that they turn to you. They release their heart to you so you can refine Father God. Pump up the fire Jesus. Take over everyone who is listening heart and pluck out what you need too, chisel away what you need too, restore what you need too. Do your heart surgery Lord. Purify us Lord. Purify our hearts. We are done chasing feelings. We are done chasing satisfaction from this world and just want you Lord. Take whatever you want, Jesus. We are trading in our faults and laying everything down because you are ALL that we want. We are on our knees saying this cup you have for me even when it doesn't make sense we are letting you lead Jesus. We are letting you lead. We choose trust over trouble. We choose hope over hopelessness. We chose victor instead of victim. We choose forgiveness over bitterness. We chose discipline over pleasing people. We chose you Lord. Thank you for the fire. Thank you for the burning. Thank you for burning my heart, their hearts, and the heart of their marriage jesus. We love you Jesus, amen.
Standing in agreement with you and your marriage. Today I wanted to just simply pray with you. Where two or more are gather together in prayer, He is in the midst. Let's have child like faith and believe in the mighty power of revival and restoration that only Jesus Christ provides.
It's restoration and revival season!
Prayer for fire in your marriage:
I pray for the Holy Spirit fire to consume you and your marriage. Lord, we need you. We need you in us, our spouses and our marriages. We need your fire. If we are burning Jesus, allow us to burn for you Lord. I renounce and rebuke any spirit of resistance, doubt, fear, or divorce in the name of Jesus. I pray that the enemy flees the marriages listening and even mine right now in Jesus name. I pray that our marriage receives the Holy Spirit fire and lets it consume over every room, corner and walkway. Windows wide up and doors open to only things ordained by God and all doors closed to anything the enemy sent. We rebuke the enemy's plan to water down your fire. We rebuke the enemies holding on marriage. Right now in Jesus name I pray that God’s fire consumes you and your marriage right now. Right now I claim we no longer bow to the things of this world but only your fire Jesus. I claim where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. I claim For our Lord, Our God is a consuming Fire. Lord be a consuming fire in my marriage and theirs in Jesus name.
I pray that your marriage is a marriage that is led by the spirit and not by the flesh. I pray that your marriage continues to turn to God for wisdom and not to the world. I pray that anything that started from a innocent feeling that is bringing destruction to your marriage is dismantled right now. I pray that any open door to the enemy is shut right now and met with the face of God. I pray that freedom is coming for your marriage. It's revival season! It's restoration season! I stand with you and your marriage and intercede for you! In Jesus name!
“You need milk, not solid food. Now everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced with the message about righteousness, because he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature-- for those whose senses have been trained to distinguish between good and evil.” Hebrews 5:12-14.
Shake the grounds oh God, shake them until my brothers and sisters leave a season of immaturity and walk into a season of inheriting promise, I know who created the earth and I know who ordained this marriage, their marriage so I say, glory to you God. Glory to the highest of high, thank you Jesus.
Lord,
Instead of focusing on changing my spouses heart, change mine Father. I ask right now that you begin to turn my heart. Refine my heart. Lord I ask that I forgive, extend compassion, love unconditionally, and glorify you in my marriage. Lord I ask that you search my heart and reveal to me areas where I need to surrender to you Father. Lord I ask to decrease me and increase more of you in my heart and daily actions. Lord I thank you for restoring my heart and healing my heart the best. You are healer and provider. I thank you that my heart is not too much for you. I thank you that you show me how to love, love and love some more. Jesus, thank you for loving me the best. Lord thank you for loving my marriage and my spouse the best. Turn my heart toward my spouse and my spouses heart toward me with you at the center Jesus. I thank you Abba Father.
In your name,
Amen
Worship is your warfare!
I stand in the gap and intercede for you and your marriage. No man can separate what God has ordained. Satan, get under my feet. I have dominion because Christ lives within me. You are not in the fire alone, Jesus is standing in there with you. Burning for Marriage!
Prayer for Through Suffering;
Lord,
I thank you for your hand on my heart right here right now. You are the best to care for my heart and love me. You are the best to care for my husband/wife heart and love him/her. Thank you for the blood of Jesus that washing over me and my situation right now. Lord, I ask that in this season of suffering that you take every burden and give me citizen access to heaven's healing. I know that I have access to heaven's healing as a citizen and I call on that right now and ask to be filled with your restoration. I praise you that even though my worldly mess is a lot for me, it's nothing for you. Thank you for peace that surpasses my understanding. Lord, when my foundation is wobbling remind me of my surroundings who stand with me as a community of believers. Remind me of my prayer warriors. Remind me of those Jesus has selected to walk this with me on earth but radiate you through it all. Jesus I thank you that through this season of suffering I find you more and more. Thank you Jesus that even though this situation may be hard, you have overcome, and took every type of suffering for me just because you wanted me to be free, loved, forgiven and cared for. No one can separate that type of love Jesus. Abba Father, I thank you. I thank you. I glorify you Lord of Lord and King of Kings. In Jesus mighty name,
Amen
Prayer for Your Husbands/Marriage
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your hand over my marriage. You are the best person to care for my marriage and my husband. Lord right now I pray that you cover my marriage with a hedge of your protection. I call a legion of angels to meet every doorway and hallway in our house, workplace, and car. Lord I ask that your blood covers each place we walk before we walk there Lord. Father, I surrender my husband to you and ask that you continue to refine my heart to be more like you so I can be a wife you called me to be. I pray that you continue to shake the dry bones in my husband and shed light on any areas that need your love and attention. Father, I thank you that you know everything and you hold all the answers Father. I ask that you continue to guard our marriage with the best armor, from the helmet of salvation, chest plate of righteousness, sword of the spirit, shield of faith, belt of truth and gospel of peace Lord. Thank you for each piece of our armor so we can stand back to back ready for combat. Lord, I ask that you pluck out anything that is not ordained by you and you silence the enemy no matter what form or who the enemy uses as a vessel in seasons. We will not be shaken because you are in the center of it all Jesus. Lord, I thank you for our marriage and I thank you for your mighty healing and restoration power that we have access to as citizens of heaven. In your mighty name, AMEN!
