“Empowering the abused woman to recover with God's truth"

“Hidden Bondages” – Soul Ties Part 3 – Session 2

The Word says in 2 Corinthians 11:20,  For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

The devil has kept God's children in bondage with all of his lies, but as John 10:10 says, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy...” He wants all of us to fail, he wants to steal our souls.

He likes to attack the Children of God, because if he can get them off track, they cannot do what God has called them to do.

Even satan knows that if the laborers of God are torn down that gives him a better chance to steal more souls. But, we the children of God need to stand in the victory of Jesus, and let the Holy Spirit reveal to each one of our hearts of any bondage that we are entangled in and walk in the freedom that Jesus has given us.

One of the Hidden Bondages that God has shown me is being SOUL TIED. The Church has not taught much on this, but it is a serious problem in the Body of Christ. I have articles on this web site about Soul Ties, so please check them out, they could lead you into the freedom to serve the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind.

As you read this article below, please read it with your spiritual eyes and hear with your spiritual ears, because your mind will not want to accept it.

JUST WHAT IS A "SOUL TIE"?

Let's start by considering the definition of a soul tie: "A soul tie is the joining or knitting together of the bonds of a relationship. Godly soul ties occur when like-minded believers are together in the Lord: friends, marriage partners, believers to pastors, etc.

Relationships that lack `God-centeredness' can result in ungodly soul ties between friends, parents and children, siblings, marriage partners, former romantic or sexual partners, domineering authorities, etc.

An unhealthy attachment with another can bring about a psychic control that can adversely affect the life, e.g. a mother who refuses to relinquish her hold on her children (tied to her apron strings), a person who refuses to release to the Lord the memory of an old romantic flame (withdrawing into nostalgia in times of loneliness), a person who holds a grudge or a judgment against another, someone who uses spiritual forces to control others (witchcraft), etc.

For two people to bond to the point of a soul tie often takes time, particularly in the area of friendships. Man's soul consists of his mind, emotions, and will. A soul tie involves the joining of minds, ideas and views, as well as emotional unions in the feeling realm. Soul ties can range from being laid back and fairly loose to quite intense and overpowering. 


MARRIAGE SOUL TIES

The first mention of a "soul tie" in the Word is found early in Genesis: "21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.” (Genesis 2:21-22 – NIV).  The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man” (Genesis 2:23 – NIV).
