Breaking Soul Ties

Sometimes we form attachments to people on a soulish level. The more we let someone into our heart, the more of ourselves we give to them. That's pretty normal, especially in a love relationship. The problem comes when we find that we can't really get away from a person, or more specifically, our thoughts and emotions toward that person. Let's say I am angry at my best friend Penelope for betraying my trust. That anger could fester and grow and form an unhealthy bond to Penelope that I couldn't get rid of without God's help. My soul would be tied to her soul through anger. (It could be any emotion that connects us to others; I'm just using anger because it's our strongest emotion.) Realizing that soul ties are created and praying to break them help keep humans "off the throne of our hearts" which is the place reserved for God. I have to break soul ties all the time. I love easily and as long as there is trust there, let people into my heart easily. I am passionate. I love deep and I hurt deep and I find myself needing this prayer regularly. I break soul ties when I realize I am too close to someone (through good or bad emotions), when forgiving someone becomes a daily struggle, or when I've been under abusive authority. One way to determine my need to break soul ties is if my thoughts continue to replay an offense, a heartbreak, or a wound. When forgiving people, I pray like this, "I forgive you for ________. I release you, I won't hold this against you, I take the loss and I give it to Jesus". Then I break soul ties with that person, using the following prayer. If it is a strong tie, sometimes I have to pray the prayer several times a day. I've been using this prayer for years and it always works. I hope it helps you too. Fill in the blanks with the other person's name.

"I break this unprofitable soul tie of ________ (anger, rage, jealousy, unforgiveness, abuse, etc....any sin that is keeping you bound to the person; try to identify it) between myself and _________(person's name). I sever the cord that attaches me to _________. I command the fragments of my soul in _______ to return to me. I claim the fragments of _________'s soul in me to return to them and to integrated into the rightful places. I claim the scripture that says "He restores my soul". Holy Spirit, heal the damage that this ungodly soul tie has done in _______ and me. Please uproot all the tentacles of bondage, emotional longings and dependencies, and all enslaving thoughts. I bind, renounce, and resist all evil spirits that have reinforced this soul tie or have been transferred to me through this association. Please cleanse my soul and help me to forget all ungodly unions so that I am free to give my soul totally to You, Lord."

God will judge.

A friend of mine is experiencing painful rejection from someone she loved. She is dealing with anger, deception, and the loss of a relationship. The whole situation was unfair and unjust. While her feelings were real, the other person was just playing a game with her. I can relate to what she is experiencing, having been taken advantage of when my heart was vulnerable several times myself. Forgiving folks for hurting us isn't easy. Here are my thoughts about releasing people from offense, from a former post. More to come.....
