Marriage Under Spiritual Attack? How to Recognize and Defeat the Demons

How do you know if your marriage is under spiritual attack or in some cases, under heavy spiritual attack? How can you recognize the demons behind the spiritual attacks? How do to defeat them? These questions will be answered as you keep reading. The contents on this blog is for those who desire to understand spiritual warfare in marriage.

The first thing you need to understand is that everything that happens in the natural visible realm in your marriage, is a result of, is cause by, or influenced by something in the spiritual realm. The easiest way to recognize a spiritual attack is when there is no peace in the marriage and home. The hurts in the marriage has caused the husband to feel disrespected and the wife to feel unloved. It seems like you have tried everything and nothing seems to be working. If this sounds like your marriage, this blog is for you. If this does not sound like your marriage right now, this blog is for you because ALL marriages are subjected to spiritual attack and only couples who are ready for the battle will experience victory. 

Here is the how to recognize three common demons behind spiritual attacks in marriage.

1. When you are in a season in your marriage where there is constant arguing, fighting, confusion, discord, anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, or hatred, it is no longer, bad communication or dealing with hurts, it may be a spiritual attack from a demon named strife. When couples find themselves in this season of strife, spiritual tools are required to fix this. The bible states, “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work” (James 3:16).
2. When you are in a season in your marriage where there is unfaithfulness, infidelity, lying, or deception you may be dealing with a sexual immoral demon, which works with the Jezebel spirit (Revelation 2:20). This demon sets out to bring dishonor, shame and destruction to the marriage. When couples find themselves in this season of sexual immorality, spiritual tools are required to fix this.
3. When you are in a season in your marriage where you feel the need to control your spouse through deception, deceit or lying, you may be dealing with a spirit of manipulation. This demon may creep into a marriage unawares through communication as couples attempt to resolve conflicts.

You may be experiencing spiritual attacks right now and the question you may be asking right now is, “How do I defeat these demons?” The first thing you need to understand is that you cannot be victorious in the natural realm of your marriage, unless you are victorious in the spiritual realm for your marriage. In other words, if you do not learn how to fight in the spiritual realm, you will not be able to win in the natural realm.

To defeat the demons, a husband and a wife must learn how to “stand and fight.” The only way to do this is put on the whole armor of God. The bible declares in Eph 6:11-12 “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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.”

I have found that many couples remain stuck in their situations when they try to win a spiritual battle with natural weapons. The bible declares in 1 Cor 10:3-5, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” To get unstuck, you need someone who can help you to assess and replace if necessary, the weapons or tools you are currently using. My goal is to help assess and equip couples like you, with the right tools to fight spiritually, so you can see the results naturally in your marriage.
