It is important that we keep in mind of our future spouse's spiritual state because the enemy is out to kill, steal, and destroy. The thought of godly marriages makes him sick, and if you are not covering your future spouse, the enemy will have free-play in your marriage. Let's keep an open mind and heart to the next few pointers I want to help you all start praying for in a spiritual perspective for your future spouse.
1. The Heart
God is the heart beat between the two of you. When the heart is not aligned to his, he takes his time with the individual, to prune and now to prepare, that is why most godly marriages are healthy and happy because they keep their personal relationship with God first and as the center of their marriage. In your praying time, cover his heart in God's hands. Make sure that his heart is not easily led astray and to stand firm as God fights his battles. Temptation may be trying to cloud him/her right now, so pray he'll endure the testing and temptation and to consider it all joy. | James 1:2 | and to know that God will not let your future spouse be tempted beyond what he/she can bear. |1 Corinthians 10:13 | Pray to keep his heart's motives godly and always got his eyes on Christ for direction. While God is working on your heart, have faith he is definitely working on your spouse's.
2. The Mind.
Our minds are so powerful, so we must be careful of what we set our minds to. So, in your praying time, guard your spouse's mind from the enemy's thoughts. God wants the mind just as much as he wants the heart. When we set our minds on things that are heavenly instead of earthly, | Colossians 3:2 | you'll be amazed by what he shows you within his kingdom and what he has for the both of you. Your spouse is able to be all that God has called them to be. The enemy loves to nitpick with your mind during your walk with Christ, so pray that your spouse is filling their mind with things of Christ and not of this world. And hey, during that time of renewing the mind, the prayers about you may be happening, lol. So be consistent in prayer, and rebuke that mind game the enemy likes to play against God's children.
3. The Focus.
Focusing on God is the main discipline that matters. In your praying time, pray for your spouse's focus to remain on their relationship with Christ instead of focusing so much on your future earthly marriage. Yes, your earthly marriage will be a life-changing moment but never the ultimate fulfillment. Jesus Christ is the one who completes you. And your marriage to Christ is the first to be faithful to. Pray for the both of you not to worry about how God is going to bring you two together. Let him finish his master-minded love story. Sit still. Be encouraged. Know that he has heard your prayers and is working. God just wants you and your spouse to be careful not to make marriage become an idol. Pray about it with faith and power, move forward, and keep being about your Father's business.
4. God's Plan.
Oh my! God's amazing plan. In your praying time, pray for the will of your Father within the marriage. Get excited about what God is going to do with the two of you than marriage itself. I can testify to this and say that my heart has smiled by the many prayers of God's will being done within my future marriage. On my heart, I kept feeling and hearing "ministry", so I would begin to cover our ministry in prayer, believing God's vision. Even in the midst of not knowing, I just knew it was going to be for his glory no matter what. So keep on praying for God to use the two of you as such amazing contributors for his kingdom. Let your heart and your future spouses be wrapped up in learning God's will and plan for not only for the two of you, but for yourself in your personal relationship. God is so creative with bring the two together to share the gifts he has given. Let's chase God's plan.
You see, when you pray for God's spiritual blessings on behalf of your future spouse, it gets exciting,
because God is so faithful and when you mind and heart is set on what he wants, you shall receive, trusting that in his timing, he will provide the right person for you. No matter what, keep on covering your spouse. God has BIG things in store for the both of you.
