Here is the scripture that you can pray over you, your h and your family:
Matthew 16:19
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.
It took me a while to get this and I hope that I don't go over your head, because it went over mine for a little while. When Jesus died on the cross, he went down into the pits of hell and he took the keys from Satan. Satan no longer has authority or control over anything that we think that he does. He only has control over what we allow him to have control over.
Jesus was our blood sacrafice. Okay, in the old testament they killed sheep, but they brought in two for the sacrafice. One is the one that they killed and poured the blood out for their sins. The other one was the one that they placed their sins on and ran off far from the village so the spirits (demons) of those sins could not come back (addiction). Not only were they keeping the addictions from coming back, but breaking the curse from their sins so that it did not go from generation to generation.
Now the yoke around your h's neck is the burden that he carries with him. He has no one to help him carry that burden or to lighten his load because he does not have the Lord yet. As you pray for him, you are helping to carry that burden and trusting in the Lord to help him to break that yoke that is around his neck.
Both of these were tough concepts for me to get until I stopped looking at things through the natural eye and started looking at things through the spiritual eye. There is a huge difference. People can not fight things just by will power alone. Those chains, spirits and demons that are around them have to be broken in order for them to be really free. To never fall back into the same thing again.
It is like an alcholic that falls off the wagon or a drug addict that goes back to drugs. Why do they do that? Because if you listen them, you will hear them say that the pull was just more then they could take. They didn't send the spirit out of the "village" to never return. Does that make anymore sense?
