While talking to a new FAM Fellowship member over the weekend, she shared one of her prayers for her husband, which I really loved and which really connected to my spirit. She said she just asks the Lord to bind her husband to the Holy Spirit. What more could we possibly want than that! It immediately brought the following passage from Matthew 16 to my mind:
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.
18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
So now my favorite prayer for my husband is “Thank You, Jesus, precious Son of the living God, that _____ and I are your church and the gates of hell will not overcome us, and for giving me the keys of the kingdom of heaven, with the authority to bind my husband to the Holy Spirit and to loose the Holy Spirit’s supernatural power to work in his life, which I do by the power of Your word and in the authority of Your name! Amen.” I have a feeling if we’d all start using that simple prayer, we’d start seeing those mountains move! Thanks, Jennifer, for such an awesome inspiration!
