The Power Of Breaking Soul Ties
The Power Of Breaking Soul Ties
16 There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become one.”
As we begin this new chapter (Covenant’s) Our 2nd topic is The Power Of Breaking Soul Ties/THE BIRTH PLACE OF DESTINIES
it’s necessary to first look at where Soul Ties originated. In its actual essence it was designed for One Man & One Women. And Just like many other things designed in righteousness when it is perverted it mutates to something else.
PERVERSE Translation of one Greek and several Hebrew terms with the literal meaning “bent,” “crooked,” or “twisted,” applied to persons involved in moral error.
Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary Perverse
Paul urged Christians to be moral “lights” witnessing to their “crooked and perverse generation”
15 That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation [spiritually perverted and perverse], among whom you are seen as bright lights (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world,
10 And Balaam said to God, “Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me, saying,
11 ‘A people went out of Egypt who covers the face of the earth. Now come, curse them for me. Perhaps I will be able to battle them and drive them out.’ ”
12 God said to Balaam, “You will not go with them. You will not curse the people because they are blessed.”
32 The angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? I have come out to oppose you, because your way is perverse before Me.
Whenever we attempt to present to God something that goes against his original design. IE “bent,” “crooked,” or “twisted intentions is considered as perversion..
And A soul tie’s originated with two (Husband & Wife, Male & Female) becoming one sexually
15 Don’t you know that your bodies belong to Christ as his body parts? Should one presume to take the members of Christ’s body and make them into members of a harlot? Absolutely not!
16 Aren’t you aware of the fact that when anyone sleeps with a prostitute he becomes a part of her, and she becomes a part of him? For it has been declared: The two become a single body.
17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is mingled into one spirit with him.
18 This is why you must keep running away from sexual immorality. For every other sin a person commits is external to the body, but immorality involves sinning against your own body.
Sex aNd Saints
The IVP New Testament Commentary Series: 1 Corinthians Sex and Saints (6:12–20)
The IVP New Testament Commentary Series: 1 Corinthians Sex and Saints (6:12–20)
While ancient Corinth was perhaps no more degenerate sexually than some of our own port cities, such as San Francisco or New Orleans, Corinth was widely known for its
Our western Sexual Revolution in the 1960s to 2020 has altered many mindsets around Sex and marriage. While many heterosexual couples are trying to get out of marriage many homosexual couples are fighting to become married & have a family.
1. What is Marriage?
In order to view marriage the way God views it, we must go to the Bible. And the first thing we learn about marriage in Scripture is that God instituted it as a one-flesh relationship between a man and a woman. God made both male and female in His image and He made male and female for one another:
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
God made man and woman to complement each other in marriage, with the woman as a “helper” for the man (Genesis 2:18). This relationship is for our good, and it provides companionship, children, and holiness.

18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Notice, however, that Genesis 2 never mentions the word “marriage.” Instead, Genesis defines marriage as a “one flesh” relationship between a man and a woman. The reason it does this is that the Bible views sexual complementarity as central to the marriage relationship. Men and women are sexual beings, and this affects them in their entirety—how they speak, think, act, dress, etc. Marriage therefore takes place when a male and a female come together in monogamous sexual union.
This centrality of sexual union to marriage should be obvious, but both our secular culture and the modern church seek to separate sex from marriage. The culture does it to justify its promiscuity; the church does it to perpetuate its dualistic rejection of the physical world.
2. Marriage is a Covenant
In order to elaborate on this concept, we must understand that marriage is a covenantal relationship and thus has a covenant sign.
What is meant by a “covenant”? A covenant is a relationship of obligation sealed with an oath.
A covenant is similar to a contract, though a covenant is bound specifically by an oath before God. The covenantal elements of marriage are seen in Genesis 2.
Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman, and it entails the obligation to become one in all they do—physically, spiritually, and relationally.
14 Yet you say, “Why?” It is because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously. Yet she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
16 Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.
17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God.
18 Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave.
19 The man who visits her is doomed. He will never reach the paths of life.
So marriage is a covenant.[2] And all covenants have signs—
The rainbow in the Noahic covenant, The Circumcision in the Abrahamic covenant, The Baptism in the New Testament covenant, etc.
So what is the covenant sign in marriage?
You guessed it. It is sex (not the wedding ring!). Sexual intercourse is the sign God has given between a husband and a wife—hence “one flesh” in Genesis 2.
Now if you really press this issue, most Christians will admit that the Bible teaches that sex is the covenant sign of marriage.

We know this because we speak of sex as “consummating” a marriage. Vows are not sufficient to make a marriage, as a couple that makes vows and never has sex can still get the marriage annulled, both by the church and by the state.
13 “Suppose a man marries a woman, but after sleeping with her, he turns against her
14 and publicly accuses her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘When I married this woman, I discovered she was not a virgin.’
15 Then the woman’s father and mother must bring the proof of her virginity to the elders as they hold court at the town gate.
16 Her father must say to them, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife, and now he has turned against her.
17 He has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, “I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.” But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.’ Then they must spread her bed sheet before the elders.
18 The elders must then take the man and punish him.
19 They must also fine him 100 pieces of silver, which he must pay to the woman’s father because he publicly accused a virgin of Israel of shameful conduct. The woman will then remain the man’s wife, and he may never divorce her.
20 “But suppose the man’s accusations are true, and he can show that she was not a virgin.
21 The woman must be taken to the door of her father’s home, and there the men of the town must stone her to death, for she has committed a disgraceful crime in Israel by being promiscuous while living in her parents’ home. In this way, you will purge this evil from among you.
28 “Suppose a man has intercourse with a young woman who is a virgin but is not engaged to be married. If they are discovered,
29 he must pay her father fifty pieces of silver. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he may never divorce her as long as he lives.
3. What is The Womb
12 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the Lord’s.
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
The Matrix
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Revised Womb
Mašbēr is derived from the root šbr, “break,” and denotes the “place of the breach
Many women do not look forward to their “time of month” or to the travail of birthing children, but a spiritual view of these seemingly unpleasant aspects of womanhood reveals meaning behind the suffering.
The Creator gave women the position of regularly representing the bloody part of the atonement through the cycles of her womb. The many similarities that exist between the Holy of Holies in the Biblical Tabernacle, where the original picture of atonement took place, and a woman’s womb are striking.
The Holy of Holies was a place of most intimate fellowship with Almighty God, not to be entered by just anyone at any time, and not to be entered without the shedding of blood.
Far from what schools, peers, and the media teach young people today, God created intimacy between husband and wife as a holy thing, as a beautiful time for fellowship.
The worldly culture today presents it as common place, something to trample upon, much as the respect for the Almighty has degenerated from the set-apartness it carried in the Holy of Holies.
The thought of coming into the symbolic throne-room of the Creator to fellowship with Him instilled holy fear into the priests and the people of Israel.
They knew that that holy place had to be entered in the right way, at the right time, and by the right person, or the one entering would die
Exodus 28:35: And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, that he die not
Leviticus 16:2 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
The Creator designed intimacy between a man and a woman to be held in similar esteem. Just as no one other than the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies and live, so the so-called “priest” in marriage is the only one blessed to enter a woman’s womb. If any other man trespasses, it means partial death to his soul and often his body, too.
Just as the Sovereign God decreed that the High Priest could only enter the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, He has also set times for when the womb can be entered.

19 “Whenever a woman has her menstrual period, she will be ceremonially unclean for seven days. Anyone who touches her during that time will be unclean until evening.
20 Anything on which the woman lies or sits during the time of her period will be unclean.
21 If any of you touch her bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.
22 If you touch any object she has sat on, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.
23 This includes her bed or any other object she has sat on; you will be unclean until evening if you touch it.
24 If a man has sexual intercourse with her and her blood touches him, her menstrual impurity will be transmitted to him. He will remain unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will be unclean.
25 “If a woman has a flow of blood for many days that is unrelated to her menstrual period, or if the blood continues beyond the normal period, she is ceremonially unclean. As during her menstrual period, the woman will be unclean as long as the discharge continues.
26 Any bed she lies on and any object she sits on during that time will be unclean, just as during her normal menstrual period.
27 If any of you touch these things, you will be ceremonially unclean. You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.
28 “When the woman’s bleeding stops, she must count off seven days. Then she will be ceremonially clean.
29 On the eighth day she must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons and present them to the priest at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
30 The priest will offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Through this process, the priest will purify her before the Lord for the ceremonial impurity caused by her bleeding.
Lev 18:19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
During menstruation, the uterine lining is shed, and the environment within the reproductive tract can change in terms of pH levels. While it's true that the vaginal environment typically maintains a slightly acidic pH (around 3.8 to 4.5), which helps protect against harmful bacteria, this acidity may fluctuate during different phases of the menstrual cycle. Some studies suggest that the pH can become less acidic during menstruation due to the presence of blood, which is slightly alkaline. This temporary shift might make the environment more hospitable to certain microorganisms, potentially increasing the risk of infections like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections.
However, it's essential to note that the body has natural mechanisms to restore balance after menstruation. The vaginal microbiome, primarily composed of lactobacilli, plays a key role in maintaining this acidic environment. These bacteria produce lactic acid, which helps keep the pH low and prevents the overgrowth of harmful pathogens.

The etymology of Atonement is “at-one-ment”.
On the one day the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies to restore the people to unity with God, he could not enter without first shedding blood. According to Leviticus 18:19, a married couple is only blessed in becoming “one,” after menstruation is over (not during it).
In the tabernacle on the Day of Atonement, the blood of a bull and a ram pointed to the Messiah who shed His blood to give us new life. A woman’s womb commemorates this monthly, as she sheds blood to make it possible for a new life to potentially form in her womb
Genesis 3:15 says, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
The word, “enmity” is eyvah in the Hebrew.
It is a very strong word meaning, “hostility, hate, friction, animosity.”One translation says, "There will be war!"
Satan hates the womb. He knew that the Messiah, the Savior of the world, would come through the womb of a woman, the one who would destroy his head. He knows it is through the womb of the woman that the “godly seed” still comes to destroy his works. Satan comes to "steal, kill and destroy."
His attack is upon the womb through a number of areas:
1. Curses (Rob)
2. Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) (Wanda)
3. Multiple Sexual Partners (Rob)
4. Abortion (Wanda)
5. Permanent contraception (Rob)
7. Drug abuse (Wanda)
8. Unnecessary hysterectomies: (Wanda)
The statistics provided highlight a significant concern regarding the frequency and appropriateness of hysterectomies in the United States. Here's a structured breakdown of the key points:
📊 Key Statistics
• Annual Hysterectomy Rate: Nearly 1 million hysterectomies are performed every year in the USA.
• Frequency: One hysterectomy is performed every 30 seconds.
• Necessity: Only 4.7% of these surgeries are considered necessary (e.g., due to cancer or emergencies).
• Alternative Options: The remaining 95.3% could potentially be avoided through alternative surgical methods.
-🧑⚕️ Demographics and Context
• Age Group: 60% of hysterectomies are performed on women under 44 years old, who are typically of child-bearing age.
• Medical Conditions: Most uterine disorders can be treated without a full hysterectomy.
• Indications for Surgery:
• Cancer or emergencies are the only valid reasons for a radical hysterectomy.
• Other conditions (e.g., fibroids, endometriosis) often have less invasive treatment optio
✅ Conclusion
While hysterectomies can be life-saving in certain cases, the data suggests that many are unnecessarily performed. A more conservative approach with less invasive alternatives should be prioritized, especially for women of childbearing age. This would help reduce unnecessary procedures and improve long-term health outcomes.

The Hebrew word for man is ish
The Hebrew word for woman is ish shah
Webster’s 1928 dictionary explains that the word “woman” is a combination of the words, “womb” and “man.” Woman therefore means “womb man” or “man with a womb.”When God created woman, he put within her a womb. The womb is God’s beautiful gift to women. In fact, a women’s whole reproductive cycle is designed especially for women by God.
Satan’s job is to Steal, Kill & Destroy
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
The Matrix was designed to be several things
1. IT IS LIFE GIVING
1. IT IS LIFE GIVING
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Eve in Hebrew is Chavvah meaning, “Life Giver!" Eve was the prototype of all women - the first of her kind. She was a life giver. Every Sister is a life giver! You have the privilege of conceiving, nurturing and bringing forth a miracle of life from within our womb.
Eve certainly obeyed God’s command to "be fruitful and multiply." Hebrew tradition says that Eve gave birth to a lot of children! Wow, that’s hard to believe isn’t it, but remember, she did live for hundreds of years. The Bible only mentions the names of Cain, Abel and Seth but she gave birth to many sons and daughters and began the population of the earth.
4 The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters.
No wonder she was called the "Mother of all living."

2. IT IS OUR BLESSING
Genesis 49:25 speaks of "The Almighty who shall bless thee with the blessings of the breasts and of the womb."
Do you believe the Scriptures? Do you receive your womb as a BLESSING from God? Before God gave conception and fruitfulness, He always BLESSED first.
We need to affirm God’s truth and confess that your womb is a blessing.
3.IT IS YOUR GLORY
3.IT IS YOUR GLORY
Hosea 9:11 says, "As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception."
When Ephraim turned away from the Lord, God pronounced judgment upon them. His judgment was to take away their “glory.” What was their glory? It was the conception of the womb. Conception, pregnancy and motherhood are the glory of a nation and it comes through the wombs of women.

4. IT IS A SEXUAL ORGAN
4. IT IS A SEXUAL ORGAN
The Shulamite woman in Song of Solomon 5:4
4 My love thrust his hand through the opening, and my feelings were stirred for him.
KJ "My beloved put his hand in the hole of the door and my bowels (meah) were moved for him."
5. IT IS A SUPPORT STRUCTURE
5. IT IS A SUPPORT STRUCTURE
The womb supports other ligaments and organs in the pelvic area. When the uterus is removed, surrounding organs may cave inward or collapse causing pelvic pain, sexual difficulties and pressure on the bowels and bladder.
6. IT IS A HAVEN FOR MIRACLES
6. IT IS A HAVEN FOR MIRACLES
The greatest miracle in history took place in a womb! It was here that God became man! Jesus Himself was conceived in a womb! He identified with the womb of a woman.
Read Luke 1:35 35 Gabriel answered, “The Spirit of Holiness will fall upon you and almighty God will spread his shadow of power over you in a cloud of glory! This is why the child born to you will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.
21 Eight days later, when the baby was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel even before he was conceived.
It is in the womb that miracles continue to take place. Every child that is conceived in the womb is a miracle of God’s creation. How blessed are women to have miracles take place in their body.
Wanda
7. IT IS A WORKSHOP OF GOD”S CREATION
7. IT IS A WORKSHOP OF GOD”S CREATION
Isaiah 44:2, 24 and 49:5 "The Lord that made thee, that formed thee from the womb."
The word formed means to be “molded into a form as a potter does.” God molds each individual child in the womb.
Psalm 139:13-17 TLB says, "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body, and knit them together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complete! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous."
8. IT IS A WEAPON AGAINST SATAN
8. IT IS A WEAPON AGAINST SATAN
It is the womb that conceives and nourishes the “godly seed” who will come forth to be the light in the darkness and who will destroy the works of Satan in this world. God is looking for an army. The greatest threat to Satan in this world is godly parents who understand God’s intentions and who will bring forth and train a godly seed to fulfill His eternal plans. God’s people have unwittingly decreased God’s army in this hour. The womb is a powerful weapon against Satan. Some women fear to bring babies into this evil world, but this is one of the greatest reasons for having children--to be the light in this dark world!
9. IT BRINGS FORTH GOD’S REWARD
9. IT BRINGS FORTH GOD’S REWARD
Psalm 127:3 says, "Children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward."
God chooses the womb to reward His people. In Hosea 9:16, God calls children the "dearly beloved fruit of the womb." The context of this passage is that God was going to destroy the “rewards” that He had given them because of their continual disobedience, but it shows how God views children and also how the early Hebrews felt about their children.
10. It’s the oldest Covenant
& its between God, Husband & Wife
Marriage & Sexual Intercourse (one flesh)
Rob
THIS IS THE LAST POINT GO HARD ON THIS ONE
11. IT’s THE BIRTH PLACE OF DESTINIES
11. IT’s THE BIRTH PLACE OF DESTINIES
God’s destiny for a child is upon them in the womb. We see many examples in Scripture.
Psalm 139:16 TLB says, "You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your Book!"
John the Baptist was "filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother’s womb"Luke 1:15 and 16:41.
Paul says that God "separated me from my mother’s womb...that I might preach Him among the heathen" Galatians 1:15, 16.
Samson said, "I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb” Judges 16:7.
The prophet Isaiah said, "The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath He made mention of my name " Isaiah 49:1 and 49:5.
God said of Jeremiah, "Before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations" Jeremiah 1:5
18 I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us.
19 The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!
20 For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin. But now, with eager expectation,
21 all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children.
22 To this day we are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation, as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth.
23 And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as God’s sons and daughters—including our physical bodies being transformed.
24 For this is the hope of our salvation. But hope means that we must trust and wait for what is still unseen. For why would we need to hope for something we already have?
25 So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment.
