Unlocking God’s Power: Prayer & Miracles in Your Marriage

In this episode, Travis and Adelle tackle the most common question they receive: "How do I fix my marriage?" While there are many practical steps to take, they focus on the most powerful, supernatural tool available to every believer—Prayer. Prayer isn't just a "nice thing to do"; it is a mountain-moving, border-crossing force that supersedes any earthly power. Travis and Adelle break down why some prayers feel ineffective and provide a clear, biblical framework to align your heart with God’s will to see real transformation in your relationship.

The Common Pitfall: Praying Worries Instead of Faith

Many people struggle with "unanswered" prayers because they are inadvertently praying lies or fear. God is a loving Father who wants to answer us, but praying out loud our worries can often block the alignment of our faith.

Ineffective Prayer Examples:

  • "Help me worry about what's important." (God wants us to have peace, not worry).

  • "Show me a sign it’s over so I can leave." (God is for restoration and healing).

  • "Make my spouse change because I can’t take it." (God often wants to work in us first).

Prayer as an Offensive Weapon

Based on Ephesians 6:10-18, prayer is one of the two offensive weapons in spiritual warfare (alongside the Sword of the Spirit/The Word).

  • Spiritual Hierarchy: We aren't fighting "flesh and blood" (our spouse); we are fighting spiritual influences.

  • Authority: Speaking prayers out loud is vital. While the enemy cannot hear your thoughts, he hears the authority of Jesus in your voice when you bind up evil or renounce lies.

The 5-Step Prayer Framework

Travis and Adelle share a powerful framework to ensure your prayers are effective and aligned with the Kingdom:

  1. Praise & Thanksgiving: Start by focusing on who God is. This increases your faith and centers your heart on gratitude rather than the problem.

  2. Repentance: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any lies you’ve believed or sins you need to confess. This clears the line of communication and removes "blocks" like pride or unforgiveness.

  3. Renouncing Evil: Use the authority of Jesus to cast off the enemy's influence or attachments you’ve identified during repentance.

  4. Speaking Truth: Fill the "void" left by the enemy with God’s Word. Pray Scripture back to Him to reinforce your identity as His child.

  5. Request: Once your heart is aligned and clear, make your requests known. When we remain in Him, we can ask and it shall be granted (John 15:7).

Practical Tip: The Power of the Prayer Journal

To combat "Spiritual Amnesia," Travis and Adelle highly recommend keeping a prayer journal.

  • Faith Building: Seeing written proof of how God answered a "small" prayer from six months ago builds massive faith for the big miracle you need today.

  • Clarity: Writing helps you think through exactly what you are bringing to the Lord and stay focused during your quiet time.

Biblical Context for This Episode

  • Mark 11:25: The necessity of forgiveness before prayer.

  • James 4:7: Submitting to God and resisting the devil.

  • Psalm 51:17: God will not reject a broken and repentant heart.

  • Hebrews 4:12: The power of the Word to expose our innermost thoughts.
