Are you in a relationship you know is unhealthy, but from which you cannot seem to extricate yourself? Do you feel drawn back into a controlling, manipulative, or dominating relationship? Inappropriate relationships can tie people’s lives together through a spiritual glue which can cause emotional and physical damage. This spiritual glue is called ungodly “Soul Ties” and is fueled by spirits.  An ungodly Soul Tie will cause irrational thinking and the inability to establish and maintain healthy relationships.

The most common soul tie is through sexual relations.  Every time you have sexual intercourse with someone, you become united as one spiritually, and perhaps physically, mentally, and emotionally. A godly bond, intended by God and unbreakable (Mark 10:7-9), is what marriage should produce, but sin and abuse can defile it. And the bible tells us that sexual relations with someone other than a spouse is like “joining yourself to a prostitute where the two shall become one flesh”  (1Co 6:15-16).  There is often significant emotional trauma associated with sexual immorality.  Soul ties between fornicators can glue a mistreated or beaten woman to a man knowing that the behavior is demeaning and hurtful, but she just can’t pull herself away.  Even married abused women, with the means of taking care of themselves, have a difficult time leaving the abuser at the risk of being killed. Fornication and adultery have bound some of us to so many sexual partners, plaguing our lives with hindrances, depression, despair, and spiritual attacks.

Other types of Soul Ties can be;

  • A break-up or divorce where there is still hurt or love
  • A painful falling out with a loved one or friend
  • Association with others in sin
  • Association with cults, gangs or occultism
  • A controlling parent interfering with adult children
  • Negative words spoken by an authority figure, teacher or doctor
  • An abortion
  • Dysfunctional family members

 

In summary, ungodly soul ties can be any relationship in sin or that has caused you emotional or mental pain/memories.

These attachments can be broken:

  • Pray and ask God to reveal all unhealthy Soul Ties
  • Confess the sin of allowing or making the Soul Ties, and ask for forgiveness
  • Ask God to restore what was taken during that relationship; it may be your peace, your self-esteem or your freedom
  • Take authority over the spirits that are fueling the spiritual tie and declare them broken in the name of Jesus

Remember, our God is a healer, restorer and provider for all that loves Him.
