What are soul ties?

Soul ties are connections of one person’s soul to another soul in the mind, the will, and emotions. There can even be soul ties we have with places, organizations, or actual objects.

Who Can Soul Ties Be With?

• Soul Ties with a Parent or with a Child
• Soul Ties with a Pastor, Leader, or Teacher (Political)
• Soul Ties with a Celebrity, Musician, Athlete, Actor
• Soul Ties with a Boss or Co-workers
• Soul Ties with a Family Member
• Soul Ties with Someone you Were Intimate With
• Soul Ties with Friends
• Soul Ties with Pets

WHAT IS A GOOD, HEALTHY SOUL TIE?

James 2:8 - If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

Soul ties are formed when two or more people become bonded together. Some soul ties are good, and others are evil, some are holy, and some are ungodly. Our Holy God has ordained and sanctioned the soul ties of bonding between children and parents, husbands and wives, friends with friends and Christians with one another as members of the Body of Christ. Good soul ties are founded upon the law of agape love, which the Bible calls the "royal law" (James. 2:8). Thus, the soul ties approved by God represent the bonding of people together in God's love.

SOUL TIES THROUGH MARRIAGE

In marriage, God purposes that a man and a woman have a Godly soul tie.

Ephesians 5:31 - For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. They are to be bonded by love.

Ephesians 5:28 - So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

SOUL TIES BETWEEN A PARENT AND CHILD - HEALTHY AND UNHEALTHY

Genesis 44:30 - Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;

When a child is born, the infant should be bonded to his parents. The parents convey their love to the child in many ways. When a healthy soul tie is formed, it ministers, throughout life, love and security to that child. The soul tie between parent and child stabilizes a child's personality.

SOUL TIES BETWEEN CHRISTIANS

Colossians 2:2 - That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Ephesians 4:16 - From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

As believers we are knit to the Lord, but not just to the Lord, but to each other together as believers in love, not in control, not in guilt, and not in domination.

Soul Tie Between Friends

1 Samuel 18:1 - And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Jonathan loved him as his own soul. This was not an ungodly soul tie. it was a godly soul tie.

WHAT ARE DEMONIC SOUL TIES?

• When you are feeling bound, trapped, and dragged down by a relationship.
• When someone causes a loss of peace, joy, and your identity is gone.
• When someone else's junk is destroying your life.

Demonic soul ties are perversions of the good and holy. Good soul ties are founded upon love; demonic soul ties are founded upon lust. Remember that Satan cannot go beyond his limited rights: He must work within the framework of what he is allowed. When he gets the opportunity, he will pervert that which is pure.

SOUL TIES FORMED THROUGH FORNICATION

1 Corinthians 6:16 - What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

Through sexual relationships outside of marriage, demonic soul ties are forged. Adultery is another source of ungodly soul ties. Sodomy is an abomination and will create ungodly soul ties and it also opens the door for evil spirits of perversion to enter you and your partner. Perverse soul ties are forged if you go outside of Genesis 2:24, and you are going to open yourself to judgement.

Genesis 2:24 - Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother. and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Romans 1:26,27 speaks about this as well as Hebrews 13:4. Soul ties with animals can be created by false compassion, inordinate affection for animals or the height of perversion as in bestiality. An animal was not suitable for Adam as a companion as seen in Genesis 2:20.

Genesis 34:1-3 - And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.

This soul tie was formed after Schechem raped Dinah.

SOUL TIES WITH EVIL COMPANIONS

One is readily influenced by his friends, so it is important to choose righteous and holy friends.
1 Corinthians 15:33 - Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

DEMONIC SOUL TIES IN THE FAMILY: PERVERTED FAMILY TIES

When a son or daughter is ready for marriage, the soul tie with the parents must be terminated in order for the soul tie between husband and wife to be formed.

Therefore, God decrees, "... For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. Ephesians 5:31

When the soul tie is not severed at the proper time, then that which was good and beneficial becomes evil through control and possessiveness. It is not breaking relationship with parents, but rather of maturing of the son or daughter. We should always keep honoring our father and mother as it is a commandment with promise from Exodus 20:12.

SOUL TIES WITH THE DEAD

When a family member or close friend dies, the soul tie formed with that person must be dissolved. The period of sorrow, following the death of a loved one, is a time of adjustment during which the soul tie is ended, yet the fond and loving memories remain. We see that official mourning usually was 30 days.

For Aaron it was 30 and for Moses it was 30. Numbers 20:29 and Deuteronomy 34:8

If it has been a long time since a loved one died and you are still in torment and anguish, there is probably a soul tie that needs to be broken, and the stress of extended grief will create an opportunity for evil spirits of sadness, grief, loneliness, depression, and even suicide to enter. Also, attempting to communicate the dead loved one can easily attract a familiar spirit.

DEMONIC SOUL TIES WITHIN THE CHURCH

1 Corinthians 12:24 - For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

There are evil soul ties represented by cliques that cause division in the Body. Cliques work against the mutual care that Christ designed for His Church in "tempering the body together" (1 Corinthians 12:24). Christ is the avowed Head of the Church; therefore, it should be the goal of church leadership to join each member to Christ. (1 Corinthians 6:17)
Sometimes, pastors and church leaders join church members to themselves rather than to Christ. This unnatural bonding actually seduces the people away from Christ. Such ungodly soul ties may be formed by the intentional designs of the leader or they may be initiated by members of the congregation who idolize the leader above Christ. Cults are often an outgrowth of these kinds of soul ties.

2 Samuel 20:1 - So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

This verse is not necessarily a bad soul tie, but it does show a soul tie with that of people and a leader.

SIGNS THERE IS A SOUL TIE THAT NEEDS TO BE BROKEN

YOU CONSTANTLY VISUALIZE ANOTHER PERSON

If you are having pictures of another person you were with, that you are no longer with, and are done with that relationship, that is a sign you have an ungodly soul tie that needs to be broken. (If you are seeing them or a picture of them in your mind.) If this soul tie is not broken/cut, you will bring this bondage into your relationships of your friends and/or marriage.

YOU ARE CONSTANTLY THINKING & OBSESSING ABOUT A PAST PERSON

Another sign that you have a soul tie with someone that needs to be broken is that you think about the person all the time and obsess about them after you have left them. You have left them, you are not in the relationship anymore, but they keep coming in your mind even though you do not want them to come up in your mind. It may have been months or even years since you were with them, but you keep thinking about them.

YOU ARE IN A BAD RELATIONSHIP, BUT TOO ATTACHED TO LEAVE

Another sign that you have a soul tie is when you are being abused, physically, emotionally/mentally, or spiritually, but you feel too attached to break things off. You feel too attached to do the necessary thing to be better. Maybe you break up and get back together. Soul ties will draw you back to toxic relationships because there is a linkage in the soul realm.

YOU ARE DEFENDING THE TOXIC PERSON

You defend someone when friends and family point out the harm to you. People that love you are telling you this a damaging relationship. Maybe they give you an intervention and say you need to get out of this relationship or friendship because it is dangerous or clearly toxic for you, but you can't seem to do it. It doesn't have to be intimate relationships outside of marriage. It can be friendships. Sometimes you will even agree with others that tell you that you need to get out of the relationship, but you never break it off.

YOU MIRROR UNGODLY NEGATIVE TRAITS OF A PERSON YOU HAVE A SOUL TIE WITH

You take on the ungodly and negative traits of the person your soul is tied to. Take for instance a person that says they are dealing with anger. They say that they never dealt with anger until after being with this person that always deals with anger. Or maybe it's depression or bitterness from someone that else that always deals with this same issue. Or I don't understand, I was never a gossiper until I hung out with this other person that gossips all the time. You take on the traits and personality of the other person.

DREAMING AND FANTASIZING ABOUT A PAST PERSON

Dreaming or fantasizing about a person that you were with that you are no longer with anymore. You may be having constant reoccurring dreams of a person that is no longer in your life.

YOU CAN NOT MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE

You feel like you can not move on from a job, a relationship, or a marriage. You feel like you hit a brick wall. You are just stuck and there is a person that is part of the past that you are holding on to rather than letting the person and dream go. But no matter how you try, you just can't get to the next place you need to be to well in your mind, your soul, your life. You are not whole.

YOU ARE HOLDING ON TO OBJECTS FROM PAST RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE DONE

You keep objects from past relationships. You can't throw them away. This is a sign that you have a soul tie that needs to be broken. You're obsessed with the object. You are staying connected to the person through the object. There is a soul tie with the relationship through the object. (Jewelry, gifts, notes, photos, clothing, stuffed animal, cups, etc...) People that have a soul tie typically have a hard time throwing those things away. If you find yourself in this place, ask the Holy Spirit to examine your heart. The Holy Ghost has the power to break you out of toxic relationships, break unhealthy and ungodly soul ties, to restore your soul.

Ministry

Repent, renounce, and ask God to forgive you for every part of the ungodly soul tie that you were part of. Together we will do this. Ask God to show you a specific soul tie with a person that you want to break right now.

Sample Prayer: Lord, I repent of, I renounce, and ask forgiveness for all of the sin and activities with • (Pray out loud the specific sin.) I pray this in Jesus name. I receive Your forgiveness Lord, and I forgive myself. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.

GET RID OF THE POISON

Matthew 5:43-48 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 6: 14-15 - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

In order for you to break a soul tie, you need to forgive the person. It's not saying that what they did ok. God has forgiven you and you need to forgive them even if what they did was not ok and it was sin towards you. You need to let this go. God wants you to forgive them. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Unforgiveness is toxic. Forgiving is not for their freedom. it is for your freedom. You may have a lot of relationships that you need to do this for. It doesn't have to be people that you were intimate with, but people that you were too close to or it was negative.

Forgiveness

This prayer needs to be prayed out loud. Do not whisper it. Do not pray it in your head.

PRAYER: I forgive __________ say their name, I release him/her from the harm they caused me, I let go of the ought, they do not owe me anything, I let it go. I'm not carrying this baggage and bondage. (If they are still alive) I pray that you would bless them to come to you and have a better relationship with you.

BREAK the SOUL TIES

This prayer needs to be prayed out loud. Do not whisper it. Do not pray it in your head.

PRAYER/DECLARATION: I break and cut the unhealthy and ungodly soul tie between me and ______________ (Say the person's name out loud) I send back any part of their soul that I have kept and I take back to myself any part of me that they have kept. God please wash me of this connection and restore my connection with You in this area of my soul. Rejoice in the Lord!

SOUL TIES CAN BE HEALTHY OR UNHEALTHY - GODLY OR UNGODLY

Soul ties in and of themselves are not evil. The problem is when we have an ungodly soul ties by which we are dominated, manipulated, and dragged on by our past. We might be still connected to a previous relationship that we need to move from.

If we have a soul tie with someone that causes us to lose peace, joy, and our identity is gone, then that is an unhealthy and ungodly soul tie. This can be because the person we are so deeply connected to is unhealthy, ungodly, and toxic. Another way a soul tie with someone is ungodly is when you have such a deep close relationship with a person, but you don't have this closeness with God. We can put a person in the place of where God should be in our mind, will, and emotions and even our spirit.

Many times unhealthy and ungodly soul ties are formed by people that don't have a deep connection to God. Let God search your heart. Is your heart and soul, close, united, knit to God? Are you cleaving to the presence of God?

If you have this closeness to God, the Holy Spirit will guide you when it comes to other relationship of your friends, family, leaders and past people. He will let you know when a line has been crossed. *When you can't live and you feel bound, trapped, and dragged down by this relationship, that is an indicator that there is an ungodly and unhealthy soul tie with someone. When someone else's junk is destroying your life, that is a clear indicator that you need to break soul ties with them.
