Truth

I want to be truthful today. You need to know that when you engage in immoral sexual activity you have just come in contact with demons. Sexual sin most certainly involves demons. Yes, demons of the worst kind. If you have looked into deliverance in any way or to any extent, you learn that demons often move together in groupings. There are many great books that address demon groupings or demonic groupings.

All you have to do is turn on the local news and listen to the stories that inovlve folks involved in sexual entanglements. You will typically find that lies, deceit, obsession, intimidation, use of fear, hatred, jealousy, envy, betrayal, murder, perversion, pornography, prostitution, seduction, drugs, discord, often illegal spying (video/phone stalking etc) , lust, extortion, trafficking, blackmail, dirty money exchanges, occult, sorcery, manipulation, control and dominance. I am absolutely sure that there are more! Just looking at this list gives you a clear picture of how dangerous these kinds of ungodly encounters can be. Friends, there is a reason that the Bible tells us to avoid these types of relationships. Godly Sexual relationships are meant only for a husband and wife according to the Bible. When we step out of that protective range we can run into trouble.

Look, becoming one with a sexual partner was certainly not God's design and intent for a married couple. Scripture says that a husband and wife become one flesh. In Genesis 2:24. It says, therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave, (that cleaving means becoming one) unto his wife and they shall be one flesh. One means there's no separation. There's a oneness in body, mind and even soul. And I want you to think about that. When you become one with somebody, you kind of take on the stuff that they are linked to . It's a serious thing when you become one with someone. It is the very reason that the covenant of marriage is so beautiful. Two Godly spouses joined together are an unstoppable kingdom force to be reckoned with.

Imagine becoming one with somebody, who is not of God. You're gonna attach all kinds of demons that are associated with them. You become part of their thoughts, good or bad, their will and their emotions, good or bad. Their appetites can become your appetites. Good or bad, you become exposed to their thoughts.

You become exposed to everything that influences them. Marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman and this covenant, this oneness we're talking about is serious business. When we engage in sexual situationships that are outside of what God has ordained, whether it be in thought or in deed, we create ungodly covenants and we begin to create vicious soul ties that lead us into strange territory.

Final truth, and this deserves a line by itself. The Bible tells us that those that engage in sexual immorality will not inherit the kingdom of God! ( 1 Corinthians 6:9-20) Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing should interfere with your kingdom status!

What Is A Soul Tie?

The word soul tie is not in the Bible, but neither is the word trinity and we still use it to explain the triune nature of God. A soul tie is a bonding. It's a oneness that occurs from the connection between a man and a woman and it can even happen with same sex attractions. A soul tie binds you to another, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. I use the word connections for a few reasons. First, the Bible tells us in Matthew 5:28 -29, that if one even looks at a woman with lust, they have already committed adultery. It is a connection. Secondly, we are told in 1 Corinthians 6:16 that if one joins themself to a harlot they become one with them. Again friends, it is a connection, a tie if you will.

You know, a soul tie really has you bound to Satan's kingdom. Why? Because you're in sin. When we are in sin, the Bible says that we're separated from God.  Isaiah 59:2 says, but your iniquities have separated between you and your God and your sins have hit his face from you that he will not hear. We also know that Romans 6: 23 tells us that the wages of sin are death. Look, a soul tie can start from just the lust and desire of a person. Yes friends, it can start in your thoughts, in your mind. 

Examples of Soul Ties In Scripture

In Genesis 34, Shechem, a prince of a country, sees a woman named Dinah, and he decided to rape her. Scripture says that he defiled her. In today's terms, we call it rape. Genesis 34:3 tells us that Shechem's soul claved to Dinah. It further says that he loved her. The event caused an uproar with Dinah's family when they found out about it. Shechem's father approached Jacob and told him, "'The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter. I pray you give her to him, to wife.'" Shechem's mind, his will, and his emotions longed for this woman. He was soul-tied to this woman. Additionally, whether Dinah wanted it or not; she was now soul tied to this man. Shechem's unchecked sexual appetites led to a rape. King David is another great example. His peeping tom/voyerism activity led to thoughts of having another man's wife. The thoughts led to the action. Bathsheba was suddenly tied to the king who summoned her/raped her (did she have a choice?) and now she was carrying his baby. The tie led to David murdering Bathsheba's husband to cover up his sexual impropriety. His appetites were not under control. The Bible emphasizes self control. 1n 1 Corinthians 10:13 it suggests that the Lord is aware of our desires and temptations and that we wouldn't have temptations that we can't handle when we are in Christ. A way of escape is made for us when we put our full trust in Christ.

Sexual Activities That Can Land You In A Soul Tie

The stories above let you know that rape and voyerism are examples of just a few activites that can land you in a soul tie situationship. It is time though for us to even go further and also include any thought or deed that is sexually associated. Friends, culture would say anything goes. But followers of Christ do not subscribe to culture's immoral standards. Our standard and measure is the word of God. The world chooses to avoid this because they want to continue participating in worldly pleasures. Let's face it having sex, thinking about sex and engaging in sexual activities is pleasurable. So please, don't beat up Coach Toni today for releasing truth to you.

I want you to explore the following scriptures: Galatians 5, 1 Timothy 1:10, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. There may be more, but this is certainly a good start to help you see sexual activities. The truth is all sexual activites can lead to soul ties, so lets get into it.

1) Porneia ( adultery - sexual relations with another's spouse; homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, incest, intercourse with a divorced man or woman, lasciviousness (lewdness, uncontrollled sexual desires, uncontrolled lusts) wantoness ( deliberate harm/hurt)

2) Masturbation ( involves impure thoughts and actions , uncleaness, unbridled/ uncontrolled lust)

3) Pornography ( involves impure thoughts and actions uncleaness, unbridled / uncontrolled lust, ) - includes strip clubs, tv porn, movie porn, Only Fans etc.

4) Polyamory ( impure thoughts and actions, unbridled/uncontrolled lusts, greed, selfishness)

5) Prostitution (forced or involuntary ) ( Impure thoughts, unbridled/ uncontrolled lusts, greed, selfishness)

6) Sex Trafficking ( impure thoughts/ deeds, unbridled/ uncontrolled lusts/ greed, selfishness)

7. Seductive Music ( impure thoughts, uncontrolled lust/ unbridled lusts) It is important to note that soul ties can be formed even when you are forced into participating in someone else's vile behavior. Individuals who are victims of incest , rape, voyerism, or even unknown pornography schemes. You are being subjected to another's sick impure thoughts, unbridled lusts, lack of self control and obsessions.

Why Are Soul Ties Difficult To Break?

Soul ties are difficult to break because they involve appetites. Appetites must be fed and continually tended to. There are healthy appetities and my friend their are certainly unhealthy appetities. Taming an appetite is part of what we are called to do as believers. The Bible says that a man without self control is like a city without walls. (Proverbs 25:8) We are expected to operate in self control by taming and subduing our appetities. We are to take authority over them. A woman of God submits to Christ. The Holy Ghost on the inside of you will assist you in remaining in control of your body, your thoughts , emotions and yes friend, your appetities. A woman who is truly in Christ has authority over sin.

Our unchecked emotions can be a reason that soul ties can be difficult to break. Emotions that are not in control can be problematic in these soul tied situations. We are told that anger is an emotion that can cause problems when it is unchecked. Anger in the story of Caine and Abel led to murder. Psalm 7:8 tells us that anger leads us to evil and jealousy is as cruel as the grave. (Song of Solomon 8:6) Unfortunately ungodly sexual relationships often involve jealousy, envy, and anger.

Soul Ties are difficult to sever when only one party wants to break the connection. In this case you might find that one party is attempting to keep the ungodly connection/bond. The party that tries to keep the tie might continue to try and contact you, even when you have expressed that the contact is unwanted. It can be as severe as involving others to keep you connected to them. ( triangulation) These acts can make it very difficult to break the ties, but it can absolutely be done. Remember, all things are possible with Christ ,if you believe. ( Mark 9:23)

Finally, soul ties are difficult to sever because they involve severing and potentially casting out multiple demons, y'all. Demons come in groupings, as we mentioned earlier. If you have a soul tie, there are many friends that come along, and I don't mean friendly friends. You may have to cast out demons of jealousy, lying, pride, unclean spirits, perversion, fear, torment and seduction to name a few. All of these need to be cast out. They will not leave, be clear. They will not leave unless they are cast out in the name of Jesus.

You know the why, but please know that absolutely nothing is too difficult for God!

What Are The Effects Of Being Soul Tied?

One effect of a soul tied situation is an unhealthy emotional attachment. Look, when we are attached to an unhealthy soul tie, our soul is compromised. The Lord wishes that we prosper even as our soul prospers. According to 3 John 1 :2, our soul includes our mind. It includes our will. It includes our emotions. Emotional attachments keep us in. bondage, they prevent us from prospering.

The continued thought or memory of an event can have you stuck in a loop. Yes friends, ruminating can keep you stuck in a dead end. It is an ugly effect of being soul tied. The constant thinking about a person, act or event can be devastating. Victims of incest can have that disgusting movie of the trauma just playing over and over in their heads. Imagine a rape victim having to relive the event over and over in their minds.

You may have difficulty sleeping, nightmares, weird dreams, and just an unsettling in your spirit. Another tough effect would be the difficulty of being able to move on , feeling opressed and even hindered from moving into other relationships. There is a type of obsession that comes with some of these relationships. Beware ,when you encounter individuals that just will not let relationships go. They've gotta be a part of what they're doing, gotta see what they're doing, gotta know what they're doing. Friends, that is obsession.

Hatred is another possible effect of a soul tie. Check out the story of Amnon and Tamar. It is another sad story of a rape. In this case, it was a brother raping a sister. Tamar begged her brother to not carry out the rape, yet he did it anyway. After the act the Bible says that Amnon hated her with an intense hatred. ( 2 Samuel 13) Looking at Tamar reminded him of his inability to control himself. It reminded him of his vile behavior.

Finally, you may have even developed some unhealthy coping mechanisms to get you through the troublesome relationship like suddenly overeating , binge tv watching or even overworking to just name a few. , You know what I'm talking about. You begin to overfocus on something else. These can all lead you down a rabbit hole of low self esteem, shame, regret and even guilt.

Sometimes soul tied individuals keep going back to the relationship. You keep dipping in and out of the relationship which makes it increasingly difficult to sever the tie and break off the relationship completely. The truth is you cannot get rid of what you are entertaining. You will never be able to rid yourself of demons that you continually engage with. If you keep entertaining, trust and believe they will NOT leave.

How Do I Get Free And Stay Free?

You will need heavy duty, spiritual weapons that only the Lord can provide to cut a soul tie. You are not going to be able to cut this tie with a man-made tool.

1) Repent Confess your wrongdoings to the Lord. When we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Scripture reminds us that when we repent, he'll do two things for us, right? He's going to forgive us, but he's also going to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This part lets us know that there is more to our complete healing than just repentance. Repentance is the beginning. Oftentimes healing is necessary when we're dealing with things like soul ties.

2) Make sure you are in covenant. ( re-establishing or establishing your covenant) Confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior and believe the gospel.

Believe that he provided our way to the father. Believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. Believe that he will return for his church. Believe that you are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. . ( Galatians 1:4, John 14:6, Ephesians 2:8, Ephesians 5:27, John 3:16)
