Soul Ties / Knittings Soul ties are invisible spiritual bonds, knittings, cleavings formed through relationships with spouses, close friends, cults, lodges, sexual and spiritual adulterers, sexual and spiritual abuse, binding agreements with buddies, engagements. They are the knitting/cleaving together of two or more souls that can either bring tremendous blessings in a Godly relationship or tremendous destruction when made with the wrong persons. When we become born again through Jesus Christ as Believers we are to break all ungodly ones! First the "Bad" ones: THE MOST COMMON ARE SEXUAL SINS : These sins are against the natural order God ordained in the Bible, and are destructive to the individual and the human race... 1Corinthians 6:15-20 (15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. (16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body (19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1Co:6:16: What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body ? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh (...If we have sex with others outside of marriage we are also "Soul Tied or "One Flesh" with them, and have an ungodly "Scattered Soul") Proverb:5:20: And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? (Having sex with a "strange woman" this can also be a "strange man") Proverb:5:21: For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. Proverb:5:22: His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. (Cords, or ties with the wicked, because of sexual sins) Proverbs 9:16-18 (16) Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, (17) Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. (18) But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. Page 2 (When one has sex outside of marriage they have unseen ties with the person, and the demons that are with that person!) Force Someone to Have Sex Against Their Will: (Rape) Genesis 34:1-2 (1) And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. (2) And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. 2Sa 13:14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. Soul Ties in Unhealthy Relationships: Proverb:22:24: "Make no friendship with an angry man ; and with a furious man do not go: otherwise you'll learn his ways and get a snare to your soul ." 2Corinthians:6:14: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers : for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Pray Along These Lines in Prayer Believing in Your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ That You Are Free: Father, I ask you in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to forgive me for having been an ( One, some, or all may apply. ) -Adulterer, (Sex outside of marriage) Exodus 20:14, Deuteronomy 5:18, Leviticus 18:20 -Fornicator, (Sex without marriage) Acts 15:20, 29 -Pedophila, (Sex with children) Mark 9:42 -Incestuous relationships, (Sex with family members,) whether forced or not, 1Corinthians 5:1, Leviticus 18:6-18 -Sodomite (Homosexual, sex with same sex,) Romans 1:26-27, Jude 1:7, Leviticus 18:22 -Transvestism, (Those who are pretending to be a woman, when really a man and vice versa) Deuteronomy: 22:5 -Rape, (Force someone) to have sex against their will, Genesis 34:1-3, 2 Samuel 13:10-16 -Bestiality, (sex with animals,) Leviticus 18:23-24 -Friends with an angry or a furious man, Proverb:22:24 -Being unequally yoked together with unbelievers, 2Corinthians:6:14 In the things I had no control of, I, in Your strength now, forgive others who have wronged me through rape, sodomy, incest, or dedication through a blood covenant or any other type of ungodly dedication. I ask you to cut any and all ungodly soul ties between myself and anyone else (say NAME or NAMES if remembered) created by sexual acts or any other relationship, known or unknown, remembered or forgotten. Father, I take the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and separate my human spirit with the human spirits of anyone with whom I have had ungodly sexual contact. I thank you the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb 4:12) Page 3 My heart is to be clean before You, and I ask You to divide and cut these ungodly soul ties from me. In Jesus' name, I ask You to cleanse those ties by the blood of Jesus of any possible access through which Satan can trouble me or my family. By the authority in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I break the ungodly power of any and all covenants, contracts, dedications or commissions made over me (or my children, if any). If I participated in a blood covenant, or had anyone dedicate me through a blood covenant, I dissolve that demonic covenant with the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, I now bind and command any and all demons, which have come into me by ungodly soul ties, or any other sin to leave me at once, never to return. In Jesus' name I shut all doorways of demonic access opened into my life by ungodly soul ties or any other sort of sexual sin, Jesus I ask you to seal those doorways forever with Your Blood, shed on the cross of Calvary. I thank you for doing this, in Jesus' name, Amen Some of the “good” soul ties that are in the Word: Jesus and a Believer : If we are to be saved, we make one with God through God the Son that saves us from the wrath of God. This is the best one that we can have! Romans 10:8-13 (8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; (9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (12) For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. John 17:21-23 (21) That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (22) And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: (23) I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. With our spouse: Godly with Christ as Head over two believers in marriage. This is the ONLY sexual relationship that has a blessed Godly tie between two people : Ephesians 5:31: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. (Sex is blessed in no other place. When outside of marriage, God always considers it SIN .) Heb 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Page 4 Deep friendships: Jonathan and David: 1Samual:18:1:And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit (tied) with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Ruth and Naomi: Ruth 1:14-17 (14) And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. (15) And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. (16) And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: (17) Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. Synopsis of above: Naomi had two sons and two daughter-in-laws. After her sons died, she told her daughter-in-laws they were free to return to their people and the false gods they served. One of them, Orpah, did. But the other, Ruth, refused to leave. "...Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-by, but Ruth clung to her. "Look," said Naomi, "your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her." But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, severely if need be, if anything but death separates you and me." Ruth settles it in her mind to leave her people of her past and the false gods they served behind. Ruth made a covenant with Naomi and Naomi's God who was God. She was bonded with Naomi until death separated them.
