Praying Scripture Over Your Spouse

For months, I had these Scriptures posted all over my mirrors in my bathroom.......I still have index cards of them, and MANY more that God has put on my heart for Josh and our family. As your heart for your spouse softens, and you search for more things in God's word your list of Scriptures will increase.

In Jesus’ name, I pull down and destroy every stronghold, imagination, argument and high thing that raises itself against the knowledge of God’s word in Josh’s heart. I pull down the strongholds of pride, arrogance, sexual addiction, and ANGER.  I take Josh’s thoughts captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ and bind his/her heart to God’s word of truth. When he walks about, it will guide him. When he sleeps, it will watch over him, and when Josh awakens, it will talk to him. (2 Cor. 10:4-5; Pro. 6:21)

In Jesus’ name and by the power of His blood, I bind the strong man of hatred, anger, and un-forgiveness, pride, and arrogance and I forbid it from operating in Josh's heart. I declare it inoperable against him. I loose the spirit of love, peace, forgiveness, and humility into his heart according to

Matthew 18:18 that says, “Whatever I bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven, and whatever I loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.”

Lord, I thank You that You will deliver the one for whom I intercede that is not innocent. Yes, Josh will be delivered through the cleanness of my hands. Job 22:30

Many are the plans in Josh’s mind, but it is Your purpose that will stand for them. Pr 19:21 AMP

You said in Isaiah 49:24 that even though Josh has become prey to the mighty or has been taken captive lawfully, he shall be delivered. For You will contend with those that contend with me, and You will save my children.

You have promised to pour Your Spirit upon my seed and Your blessings upon my offspring. Is 44:3 You will pour water upon them and floods upon the dry ground of their hearts because he is spiritually thirsty. 

I thank You that Your covenant with them is that Your Spirit which is upon me and Your words which You have put in my mouth shall not depart from them or their mouth, or from their offspring’s mouth. Is 59:21

My children shall dwell safely and continue, and their descendents shall be established before You. Ps 102:28

The seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Pr 11:21 Deliver Josh from the snare of the trapper. Ps 91:31

I pray that Josh will come to his senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. 2 Tim 2:26

I pray that the spirit of truth would penetrate Josh’s heart. John 16:13

Father, You have promised to circumcise my heart and the hearts of my children, which means to open it to the gospel and take away all hindrances in obeying the truth. You will do this so that they will love You with all of their hearts and all of their souls, and live. Deut 30:6

Open Josh's eyes and turn him from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that he may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Christ. Acts 26:18

Please grant Josh repentance so that he would confess his sins, for I know You will be faithful and just to forgive Josh's sins, and to cleanse him from all unrighteousness. I Jn 1:9

Bring Josh to the place where he will confess his faults one to another, and pray one for another, that Josh may be healed. James 5:16

Alert Josh to know the time, that now it is high time for him to awake out of sleep: for now is his salvation nearer than when he believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: I pray that Josh will walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness (pleasure mindedness), not in strife and envying. But I pray that Josh will put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Rom 13:11-14

Lord, deliver Josh from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks perverse things, from those who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who delight in doing evil, and rejoice in the perversity of evil; Whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. Prov 2:12-15

Lord, please remove the rebellion and worldliness from Josh's heart. Have mercy upon him, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out his transgressions.  Wash Josh thoroughly from his iniquity, and cleanse him from his sin.  Bring Josh to acknowledge his transgressions: and the sin that is ever before him. Against thee, thee only, has Josh sinned, and done this evil in Your sight. Ps 51:1-4

Purge Josh with hyssop, and he shall be whiter than snow.  Hide Your face from Josh's sins, and blot out all his iniquities. Create in Josh a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within him. Cast Josh not away from Your presence; and take not Your Holy Spirit from him.  Restore unto Josh the joy of Your salvation; and uphold him with Your free spirit.  Then will Josh teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto You. Ps 51:7-13

I pray that Josh will come out from (the world), and be separate and touch not the unclean thing so that You will receive him back. 2 Cor 6:17

Thank you for Your Word that says, "Refrain your voice from weeping, And your eyes from tears; For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord, And they shall come back from the land of the enemy. There is hope in your future, says the Lord, That your children shall come back to their own border." Jer 31:16,17

Father, I pull down the strongholds of pride, unbelief, rebellion, fear, deception, false theologies and sexual addictions. I take Josh’s heart captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 10:4-5

I apply the blood of Jesus over Josh, for I overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony. Rev 12:11 Where the blood of Jesus is applied the destroyer cannot come in.

Spending hours focusing on God's promises to my family and me helped me continue in my stand....YES, everyday I would read EVERY one of these declarations.  AND the list continued over time....Because I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, I can declare that I and my household are saved! Acts 16:31
