Let Your Husband Speak Scriptures Over You

by Tonja Taylor  
8/10/2022 / World Affairs


Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way that you should go.--Isaiah 48:17, AMPC

Sometimes our husbands just need us to ask specifically about what we would like them to do. Asking your husband to speak Scriptures over you will strengthen your marriage, build his confidence, and deepen the spiritual life of you both! 

In the Old Testament, the patriarchs--the male leaders of each family--would bless their families. 

The best way to do that is to speak Scriptures over each other.

As women, especially women who love and serve God, we are confident that He loves us, and that we are very special to Him. We are His beloved daughters, and His eye is always on us. 

The LORD has put the man in charge of the spiritual leadership of the home.  One point of our parts as wives is to let our husbands lead.

From one who declared that I would never get married again--yet knew the LORD had the Covenant Partner I was supposed to have, to get His full will done on the planet--this has been quite a challenge for me.  Learning to trust a man has been quite a challenge for me. 

However, the LORD ultimately reminds us that, (1) Jesus alone is the perfect Husband; (2) He will never leave us, and is always working all things together for our best and His glory; (3) that He sees the end from the beginning; (4) that He always knows best, no matter what it looks like at first; (5) that He understands every moment and challenge of our lives, and wants us to come to Him to let Him handle things in prayer and trusting Him, unless He directs us to confront an issue in love with His wisdom; (6) the LORD is always working--especially with our prayers and proclamations of the Word over our husbands--to bring them to a greater love for Him, and thus a place of greater maturity; and (7) that the best thing to do is stay close to Christ, choose to release all the negative emotions and receive the peace and rest, and ask Him to help us be the wives He means for us to be.

There are many sermons wrapped up in those sentences, but let me just say that you can never go wrong speaking Scripture over your husband, nor asking Him to speak them over you.

He may feel embarrassed at first. He may feel awkward. He may even refuse. 

However, Proverbs 25:15 says, "By long forbearance and calmness of spirit a  judge or ruler is  persuaded, and soft speech breaks down the most bonelike resistance."

Keep giving the junk to the LORD, your Daddy. Keep speaking the Scriptures over your husband. Keep bragging on his spirituality and thanking him for praying for you, going to church with you, reading the Bible, etc. Thank him for other things he does, including going to work, and compliment him as truthfully as you can. 

Just flat out tell him that you respect, admire, appreciate, and love him. Even using those words will make a difference (and in a sense, you are speaking a Scripture over him when you say these things, for the LORD tells us to do this in Ephesians 5:33:

However, let each man of you [without exception] love his wife as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly].--Ephesians 5:33, AMPC

Sounds like a lot of work on the part of us wives, doesn't it? It is! But the LORD helps us. He gives us Grace. 

Ask Him to lead you to Scriptures to speak over your husband. He will! 

Ask the LORD to touch the heart of your husband and give him the desire to speak the Scriptures over you; to take the spiritual lead in prayer and church attendance and giving (especially tithing, which is a command of God, not a suggestion! See Malachi 3:10-12!), and other areas. 

The LORD will, for these are all things that are His desires for us! When we ask whatever is in His perfect will for us, we know that He hears us, and thus we have what we ask (I John 5:14-15). Hallelujah! He is a good, good Father, and the faithful God!

It is our job to trust Him, to love and live the Word, and to relax in His faithful love (read: be patient and joyful in the time between how your husband is acting now and how you desire him to be!). 

The LORD helps us, and ultimately, the battle is His!
