WHY THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN Wrecked marriages and divorce is common place in our society today. Now divorce is court sanctioned and politically, religiously and socially acceptable in most cases. It is now a norm because no one seems to have any real solution to saving a wrecked marriage or preventing a divorce. Despite the wide acceptance of divorce all around the world, divorce isn’t happy. It is obvious that a wrecked marriage or divorce proves that something is seriously wrong in too many marriages. The fact still remains and this is true: “No one marries just to have a wrecked marriage or just to get a divorce.” In most cases – 97% of the time, people marry with good intensions, with the hope of spending the rest of their lives with a loved one. But sadly something went wrong and now both parties are at daggers end, fighting everyday, not being on speaking terms – completely fed-up with what is called marriage. The “wrong partner” supposedly causes divorce or wrecked marriages. This is what both parties claim about the other. But is this really true? 13

Apart from what is seen on the surface, and the character issues, are there no other underlying forces working behind the scene to create chaos in marriages by causing one of the parties or both involved to behave and act the way they do? These forces are demonic and unless you deal with them first by casting them out, you will lose your marriage. There is someone the bible calls the “god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4). His primary aim is to get people to do what is not right. Apart from keeping people away from being saved, he also comes “to kill, to steal and to destroy” John 10:10 and one of the areas of attack is marriage. So you see, your spouse is not really the problem, but the devil who is manipulating things to get you both divorced and have a wrecked marriage. There is a place for counsel geared towards helping you both get things in their right perspectives and work on your marriage for success. There is also a place for prayer, and without it, no amount of counseling sessions attended, or blame fixing or crying can solve anything. You need to get the devil out first for anything to work. This book was written to provide you with tested, proven and effective spiritual warfare prayer points with which to use in casting out the devil in order to save your marriage and restore normalcy. It contains: 14

55 Personal Spiritual Warfare And Intercessory Prayer Points For Yourself And The Restoration Of Your Marriage 55 Prayer Points To Pray For Change In Your Husband And For Him Not To Quit On You And The Marriage 40 Spiritual Warfare Prayer Points Against Unfaithfulness, The Effect And Power Of The Strange Woman And Adultery In The Life Of Your Husband 36 Powerful Prayer Points For God To Restore Your Husband - His Love, His Heart And Your Marriage Back To You Once you successfully engage effectively in these prayers for a while, you will soon see your marriage responding to the blessings, deliverance and restoration of God. I encourage you to make full practical use of this prayer guide. 15

THE SOURCE OF YOUR MARRIAGE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION Every problem in a marriage is attributed to the “OTHER PARTNER”. Hardly will you find one of the parties involved taking responsibility for the way things have turned out in a marriage. The WRONG PARTNER supposedly causes divorce. But have you ever stopped to ponder over the fact that you also contributed one way or the other in the wrecked state of your marriage? “It takes two to tango” “No one can clap with one hand” Character issues are the main factors in any relationship whether good or bad. Yes, NO MARIAGE IS EASY! Even couples with the best of intentions are sometimes unable to overcome their differences and end up in courtrooms. But anyone who is desirous and willing to save his or her marriage should stop and wonder why even the best of intentions can be misunderstood and thereby go on to wreck a marriage. 16

Is it normal? Do you feel it is normal to you – that your good intentions are misunderstood by your spouse and instead of thing being normal they are getting worse everyday? All these points to the fact that there are external manipulative evil forces working to destroy the foundation of every marriage. The devil is behind those forces. There was a time Jesus was reflecting on His sufferings and death. He declared this to his disciples: “From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. “ – Matthew 16:21 But Peter wished him well “….and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. “ – Matthew 16:22 What an INNOCENT statement. How else can you show or express GOOD INTENTIONS? Who would have thought that satan was behind the remarks and goodwill of Peter. But through the gift of discerning of spirits, Jesus was able to discern satan speaking and satan at work. 17

“But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. “ – Matthew 16:23 Odd isn’t it? But that’s the fact and it happened. Jesus discerned rightly. But the simple lessons here is that satan can also manipulate good intentions to damage a relationship and/or marriage if not checked and put in his place. As innocent your actions may be or sound, satan can sometimes manipulate it to mean something else to your partner and once your partner gets the wrong vibes, all hell is let loose. As I have stated before: All these points to one fact - external manipulations of forces. There are also wrong character traits that are influenced and propagated by the devil into our minds and we go ahead to act them out before our spouse thinking that we are right or justified to do so. Where did this manifestation lead to and what did it result to? Marital problems upon problems. You strongly believe you are right to act the way you acted, but the way and manner it was done was manipulated and the result was a disaster. 18

Going for counseling is recommended, but if the root of your marital problem (satan and his works) is not cast out, you will keep on relapsing into the same problems until you finally pack-up the marriage and both parties go their separate ways. YOUR SPOUSE IS NOT YOUR ENEMY Why do people talk the way they talk sometimes? Why do people behave the way they behave sometimes? You may think that your husband is the problem. But, to go with the REAL TRUTH about this matter, YOUR HUSBAND IS NOT THE PROBLEM, THE DEVIL IS! The bible proves this fact by saying: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.\" - Ephesians 6:12 In other words, our warfare, our problem is not with FLESH AND BLOOD (spouse or partner), but with EVIL FORCES OF DARKNESS. Jesus also confirmed this when He declared: 19

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy….” – John 10:10 The thief is SATAN and his primary objective is to DESTROY and this includes the destruction of marriages. To achieve his aims, he can use your good intentions, what you feel is my RIGHT or justified stand, without giving you enough room to reason or even listen to the other party. This subtle operation of Satan has led to the destruction of homes and families. Words, character traits, intents and purposes, whether good or bad, could be manipulated to mean something else by forces of darkness. This fact brings us to YOU! YOU need to deal with yourself first before asking God to save your marriage or deal with your husband. YOU need to offload whatever character traits you have that are hurting your marriage. YOU need to destroy the evil manipulative works of the devil in and over your life and marriage YOU need to destroy and cast out every manipulative influence of the devil in and over your life that is being used to cause havoc in your marriage. YOU also need to pray for a change and restoration in your life. 20

In other words, the restoration of your dying or wrecked marriage STARTS WITH YOU! This prayer guide in your hands is a proof that you really want a change and a restoration to take place in your marriage, if not, you wouldn’t have gotten it. Desiring a change is not where it ends, but you have to pray earnestly for that change to come and that is why we have written this book; to help you to achieve that needed change through spiritual warfare, personal deliverance prayers and intercessory prayers for yourself. The first segment of this prayer guide starts with PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS. . You have to forgive your spouse the same way you would have God to forgive you. Once this is done, you have God’s attention and tremendous Power that is dynamic in its working would be made available to work for you through your earnest and heartfelt prayers for change and restoration in your marriage. Let us get started! 21

No matter how far gone your husband may be; no matter how damaged he may be; no matter his state and the fears you may have about the possibility of being able to win him back, God through your prayers can still save him, restore him and win him back to you. WHY ARE WE SO CERTAIN OF THIS? The bible says: “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. “ - Proverbs 21:1 Your husband’s heart is in the hand of the Lord an no matter how far gone he may be, God is able to change his heart and life and restore his love for you and cause him not to call it quits on you and the marriage. You can achieve this through prayer. Devote some quality time to pray for your husband and see God work his miracles in his life and in your marriage. 44
