One Night Stand (2)
Soul Ties
Soul ties
Soul ties are formed as a result of relationships with people. There are godly and ungodly soul ties. Ungodly soul ties cause a person to be manipulated and controlled by another person, causing the person to live in disobedience to God. There are godly soul ties as well: “The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own life” (1 Sam. 18:1, AMP). Ungodly soul ties are Satan’s counterfeits of good relationships and unions with godly people. (See 1 Corinthians 6:16; 2 Corinthians 6:14.)
Soul ties will cause:
LOOSE YOURSELF FROM UNGODLY SOUL TIES
Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel.
—GENESIS 49:7
The Lord separated Simeon and Levi because they exerted bad influence upon one another. A soul tie is a bond between two individuals; the souls (minds, wills, emotions) of individuals knit or joined together. Ungodly soul ties can be formed through fornication (Gen. 34:2–3) and witchcraft (Gal. 3:1; 4:17).
As mentioned earlier, people need to be loosed not only from demons but also from other people. Ungodly soul ties are avenues through which spirits of control, domination, witchcraft, and manipulation operate. If you are linked with the wrong people, you will be in bondage, often unknowingly.
It is never the will of God for one individual to control another. True freedom is being delivered from any controlling power that hinders you from fulfilling the will of God. Often those under control are unaware that they are being controlled. This is why many times the control is so difficult to break.
An ungodly soul tie will result in the presence of an evil influence in your life. While good soul ties help you in your walk with God, ungodly soul ties hinder you in your walk with the Lord. Ungodly soul ties in the Bible include the ties between Ahab and Jezebel (1 Kings 18); Solomon and his wives, who turned his heart away from the Lord (1 Kings 11:1–4); and Levi and Simeon (Gen. 49:5–7).
Father, in Jesus’s name I loose myself from all relationships that are not ordained of God. All relationships that are not of the Spirit but of the flesh. All relationship based on control, domination, or manipulation. All relationships based on lust and deception. Amen.
