6 – Soul Ties
Bible Verses
Genesis 2:24 – “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (NIV)
Genesis 34:3 – “And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel…” (KJV)

Discussion
A soul tie is a deep bond, dependency, or connection between two people. It can be emotional, spiritual, sexual, physical, or even psychological. It can be in all types of relationships: a husband and wife, best friends, siblings or even a person with their beloved pet can have a deep soul connection. Some of the ties are healthy, like in a healthy God-fearing and honoring marriage, but when sin or trauma, abuse, compromise, unhealthy and ungodly habits or practices come in, it becomes an ungodly soul tie. In the case of sexual relations this is especially important because the two become one flesh. A bond and connection is established and another persons demons and bondage can start afflicting the other person.
Prayer
Father God, I lift up every relationship and soul tie in my life. Every God honoring soul tie, I thank you for and ask You to continue to bless. I ask for a Holy Spirit cleansing of these relationships. But every ungodly soul tie that I have entered through sin or any other means, knowingly or unknowingly, I ask you to break those soul ties right now. I give them back their souls whole and complete, washed in the Blood of Jesus. And I take back my soul, whole and complete, washed in the Blood of Jesus.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
