The first time I encountered the term “spirit husband,” I was confused and a bit skeptical. A close friend from my prayer group was going through a strange pattern in her life—repeated broken relationships, vivid dreams of being intimate with an unseen figure, and constant frustration in her marriage. When she opened up to me about her struggles, she said that someone had told her she was being tormented by a spirit husband, and this spirit was the source of her problems.
If you’re reading this and experiencing similar things—broken relationships, disturbing dreams of sexual encounters, or even a strange presence that seems to affect your romantic life—chances are, you’re dealing with a spirit spouse. According to Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), these are demonic entities that claim ownership over a person’s love life, causing chaos in relationships, blocking marriage, or even destroying existing marriages.
Spirit spouses, especially spirit husbands, are a common focus in deliverance ministries like MFM. They require specific, targeted prayers to break their hold. Below, I’ll guide you through the steps and powerful prayers to combat and defeat the spirit husband.
What Is a Spirit Husband?
A spirit husband is a demonic force that acts as a “spiritual spouse” to an individual, typically a woman, but men can also suffer from spirit wives. This spiritual entity may claim a person as its partner, often causing:
- Marital delays or blockages (difficulty finding a partner)
- Miscarriages or barrenness
- Sexual dreams involving unknown figures (which may manifest as dreams of being married or intimate with someone)
- Repeated relationship breakdowns
- Health or financial setbacks related to relationships
The spirit husband is often connected to ancestral or occultic covenants, passed down from generations or resulting from personal involvements in idolatry or sexual immorality.
Steps to Break Free from a Spirit Husband
1. Repentance and Renunciation of Past Sins
The first step is repenting of any personal or ancestral sins that may have opened the door for the spirit husband to gain access to your life. Often, this could be due to:
- Sexual immorality (in the past or current)
- Ancestral involvement in idol worship
- Bloodline covenants involving marine spirits (often connected with spirit spouses)
Pray this prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I confess and repent of any sin that has given the spirit husband access to my life. I renounce every covenant made knowingly or unknowingly with any demonic force. By the power in the blood of Jesus, I break and cancel every covenant with the spirit husband. I am free in Jesus’ name.”
2. Breaking the Covenant Through Fasting and Prayer
MFM strongly emphasizes fasting alongside prayer, as it helps amplify your spiritual authority. A common fast used in MFM is the 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. fast for a period of three days or seven days, combined with midnight prayers. Midnight is a powerful time to wage war against demonic entities like the spirit husband.
3. Engage in Warfare Prayers
MFM’s style of warfare prayer is aggressive and violent, focusing on confronting and destroying the works of the enemy. Below are prayers specifically targeted against the spirit husband.
MFM Warfare Prayer Against Spirit Husband
- Praise and Worship: Start by worshiping God, acknowledging His power over all things. Praise Him for the victory He has already given you through the cross.
- Prayer of Repentance:
“Heavenly Father, I come before You to repent of any sin that has opened the door for the spirit husband to enter my life. I plead the blood of Jesus over my spirit, soul, and body. Cleanse me, Lord, from every sexual defilement, both physically and spiritually, in Jesus’ name.”
- Breaking the Legal Right:
“By the blood of Jesus, I break every legal right that the spirit husband has over my life. I reject every demonic marriage and renounce all spiritual covenants made with the spirit husband, knowingly or unknowingly. I declare that I belong to Jesus Christ alone!”
- Binding and Casting Out the Spirit Husband:
“You spirit husband, I command you to pack your load and leave my life now, in the mighty name of Jesus! I break every chain and covenant binding me to you. I send Holy Ghost fire to burn up your evil wedding ring, garments, and certificates in Jesus’ name!”
- Declaring Freedom:
“I declare that I am free from every spiritual spouse in Jesus’ name! Every connection between me and the spirit husband is broken, destroyed, and consumed by the fire of God. I claim my freedom in Christ!”
- Sealing with the Blood of Jesus:
“I seal my deliverance with the blood of Jesus. No spirit husband can return to my life because I am hidden in Christ. I declare that from today, every demonic attack on my relationships and marriage is destroyed. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus!”
4. Declaring Scriptures
The Word of God is your weapon in spiritual warfare. Here are some powerful scriptures you can declare during and after your prayers:
- Isaiah 54:5 – “For your Maker is your husband—the Lord Almighty is His name.”
- Isaiah 54:17 – “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:14 – “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.”
5. Destroying Evil Deposits
Often, spirit husbands leave spiritual deposits that need to be destroyed. These could be afflictions in your body or emotional traumas that came from the demonic marriage. To address this, pray:
“Every evil deposit left in my life by the spirit husband, be flushed out by the blood of Jesus! Every affliction and bondage related to the spirit husband, break now in the name of Jesus!”
6. Closing Doors to Future Attacks
Breaking free from a spirit husband isn’t the end—you need to protect your deliverance. Here’s how to close every spiritual door:
- Live in Holiness: Maintain purity, especially in your relationships. Do not go back to old sinful habits that opened doors in the past.
- Engage in Continuous Prayer: Adopt a prayer lifestyle. Pray MFM-style warfare prayers regularly, especially at midnight.
- Confess the Word of God Daily: Keep speaking and believing God’s promises over your life and relationships.
Prayer Points to Maintain Deliverance
- “I reject every attempt of the spirit husband to re-enter my life. Every door is permanently closed to you, in the name of Jesus!”
- “Holy Ghost fire, burn up every monitoring spirit assigned to watch over my life, in Jesus’ name!”
- “I declare that my marriage and relationships are under the blood of Jesus. No demon will interfere with them, in Jesus’ name!”
Final Thoughts
Deliverance from a spirit husband requires persistence, faith, and a lifestyle of prayer. MFM’s approach, led by Dr. Daniel Olukoya, emphasizes the importance of aggressive prayers combined with fasting to break demonic strongholds. If you feel you’re under attack, now is the time to take control and begin fighting back. With the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, you can be free from the oppression of the spirit husband and live in the fullness of God’s purpose for your relationships!
