Its interesting that someone bumped this. I said this prayer months ago when I first read it and recently an ex resurfaced and tried to come back into my life and now I know how powerful this prayer was. Before being reconciled back to God I always had a strange weakness for my exes and if they resurfaced I would always end up doing something I regretted. Well this time it was different. He addressed me by a name that would have flattered me in my sin but now as a daughter of God it disgusted me and I told him he better never address me that way again and blocked his number. A day later he inboxes me on Facebook and cursed me out in a way that I have never been cursed out before... And all I had the desire to do was pray, "Father forgive him. He knows not what he does." In the past I would have been broken into pieces by the things he said to me. This is a powerful prayer and when we allow God to rule on our lives we can experience true freedom from sexual strongholds.
Those that are believing God for a husband, I am with you and as @Shimmie said, you can pray for your mate in advance. God told me 4 years in advance I would be married and told me to prepare,as He prepared many women of the Bible before marriage. Not only did I become celibate but out of this celibacy and releasing my past partners that I fornicated with, I was able to know without a shadow of a doubt; who my REAL husband was because the Lord confirmed God's promise for my husband in my spirit. Nothing and no one could infiltrate that fortess. I surrendered to the Lord every area of my life concerning me being married. Had I not prayed and became celibate according to God's Word concerning my husband, I would probably still be in a rut and getting nowhere fast and lying to myself as a fornicating Christian(and I will not lie, if God got a hold of my hot behind; He can help ANYONE. I was borderline sex addicted many years ago)...God bless you all
Is it normal for exes to pop back up? I've been praying for my FH & saying the soul ties prayer daily, now my ex is emailing me saying he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.
AyannaDivine: Yes, it is normal and not always a good thing. A lot of times, exes are exes for a reason and their popping up is just a distraction.
I encourage you to pray to the Lord for wisdom and discernment concerning your ex. He will let you know whether to receive him back into your life as a FH or not. It may help to fast as well.
God Bless!
Not trying to derail the thread but I just want you ladies to know YOU CAN BE VICTORIOUS OVER FORNICATION and bless yourself and others with living right. Fornication also goes with female on female also. So many people get so caught up on a "boo thang" they never take time to find out who they are and becoming a whole person before building a godly marriage because they are wrapped up in someone else and those soul ties. God bless you all!

Can you share any tips on how to prepare for marriage? I want to do the same thing and I ordered a bible study guide so that I can apply the bible in my daily life more. Any other tips?
God spent years preparing me for my husband. He led me to Christian books regarding marriage, submission, and how to pray as a wife and mother. I spent time in prayer and I had a few trusted female friends (2 married and 1 single) who prayed in agreement with me. I also sought the counsel of my pastor(s). I spent time searching the scriptures. I have always loved all things "domestic", but I also spent my time of waiting brushing up on these skills. God placed it on my heart to purchase kitchen appliances and even my wedding veil before I was even engaged.
Preparation gave me something positive to do while waiting and praying. It was my act of faith to show God that I believed He'd answer. And yes, there were times that the waiting was really hard. It was at those times that my prayer partners would stand in the gap for me. I have now been happily married for nine years.
My suggestion would be to pray and ask God how He wants you to prepare. He'll be faithful to show you.
