Every man is supposed to be his wife’s intercessor just as every woman is supposed to be her husband’s intercessor. When Rebecca was barren and probably depressed because of her inability to have children, we are told that Isaac “Entreated the Lord for the sake of his wife.” He prayed for his wife and God opened her womb and gave her twins. There is power in the intercessory prayer of a husband for his wife. Jesus our Heavenly Bridegroom is still today interceding for the church, His Bride. He ever liveth to make intercession for us.
Climb up to your watchtower and travail for your wife. Bind the spirit of depression that seeks to destroy her life. Stand upon the words of Jeremiah 30:16-17.
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
- Ask the Lord to devour this spirit of depression that seeks to devour your wife.
- Tell the Lord to take your wife’s spiritual adversaries into captivity.
- Tell Him to prey upon all the symptoms that seek to prey upon her spirit, soul and body.
- Release the hand of God to plunder the spirit of death and hell which seeks to plunder your wife through suicidal thoughts.
- Bind the spirit of suicide in your wife and cast it out of your family.
- Ask God to restore health to your wife and heal her physical, mental and emotional wounds.
- Make a proclamation based on the word that even the lawful captives shall be delivered.
Believe God to make a way even where there seems to be no way. Your wife’s redemption has already been purchased by Christ. By the stripes of Jesus she was healed.
Remember to stay around your wife to comfort her when she is mourning. Take good care of her during and after delivery. Some women experience a post-partum depression which comes after childbirth. She may not be interested in sex at this time. Be understanding and patient with her until she is ready for intimate relationship with you. Every thing you do to enhance the health of your wife will enhance the welfare of your family. Be a good husband, seek the good of your family.
