A soul tie is the knitting together of two souls that can either bring tremendous blessings in a Godly relationship or tremendous destruction when made with the wrong persons.
A soul tie in the Bible can be described not only by the word knit, but also by the word cleave, which means to bring close together, follow close after, be attached to someone, or adhere to one another as with glue. David and Jonathan actually formed a covenant because they loved each other so deeply. Their souls were knit together (tied or joined together). The stronger the bonding or soul ties between friends the deeper and more lasting the relationship is. The emotional and mental strengths of one sustain the other in times of adversity. (Difficulties or misfortune) and allows them to rejoice with the other in the time of triumph. When love between friends is pure and not polluted by any selfish desire, the bond between them works well in their lives.
Jesus speaks of this kind of love in John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends." That is the kind of love Jonathan and David had, and that is why it was a Godly soul tie. Because of this type of Godly soul tie, it formed the basis for a good marriage and a enduring relationship. In deep and pure friendships and relationships the two souls draw strength and encouragement from each other as well as security and love.
In order to have this kind of friendship, you have to very selective and get wisdom from God. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to have this kind of relationship. It takes people that have a pure and giving heart and puts their love in action. If you have a close friend in your life right now and they have these characteristics that is good. If they are selfish and controlling you need to pray and get the wisdom from above on what to do, because the friendship could become dangerous, because your souls are knit together, emotionally and this is not a Godly soul tie.
The early church in the book of acts was so explosive and experienced such power and the reason was they were unified. While a soul tie will develop between any two people who are open to one another, the strength of those soul ties depends upon how deeply involved with another their heart becomes. You can become soul tied to family, friends, co-workers and the leadership you are under. Unity we have with others is an open expression of our soul ties.
Carefully examine our friends (male or Female) before it becomes a covenant or relationship, because people that come into our lives can influence the shaping of our lives and our walk with Jesus.
Check their motives, here are a few things to watch for.
1. Is this person a compromising person or is it their way or no way.
2. Are they self-centered?
3. Do they have a giving spirit or do they always want to take?
4. Are they kind, gentle and above all loving?
5. Are they saved and walking with Jesus?
6. Are they controlling or manipulative? Beware
When a person who is bonded to another is governed by impure motives or the desire for selfish gain, the soul tie between them can enable (make able) that selfish one to manipulate and abuse the other. A person can actually control another through soul ties, because the mind of the two are open to one another. Ungodly soul ties can potentially establish if the relationship is not under the Lordship of Christ. God demands first place in our hearts, spouses are to be second, followed by children, family, friends and associates.
In ungodly relationships these soul ties may place us in emotional and mental bondage to others and causing us to do and say things to our own hurt. Even in seemingly good relationships ungodly soul ties can develop if these relationships Are not in divine order. When you get married you must break the soul ties with the parents. When our strongest soul tie is to God, there is a divine covering and protection that will enable us to withstand forming ungodly soul ties. The Holy Ghost. Since the sexual union of marriage ties two souls as one, what do you think happens if a person commits fornication or adultery with another person Outside of the marriage. Actually, your soul becomes mysteriously knit and tied to the other person also. They cleaved together just as in marriage. The soul ties formed through illicit sexual involvement can be as strong and binding as those formed through the marriage covenant.
God designed the universe to function with natural and spiritual laws that bring freedom when obeyed, but bondage and destruction when broken and violated. Just as two souls can be knit or made to cleave together in a covenant relationship, they can also be tied or knit together to form bondage and enslavement. Sexual union was ordained by God to make two marriage partners one flesh before God, but promiscuous premarital and extramarital affairs can mysteriously tie ones soul to many partners.
Two souls can be knit or made to cleave together in a covenant relationship, they can also be tied or knit together to form bondage and enslavement. Sexual union was ordained by GOD to make two marriage partners one flesh before GOD, but promiscuous premarital affairs and extramarital affairs can mysteriously tie ones soul to many partners. We just don’t have any conception of promiscuity ( sex) outside of marriage scatters their souls and destroys their ability to commit to one partner. It is very important that married couples keep their sexual life to satisfaction, because if not the other may become strongly tempted to seek sexual fulfillment elsewhere. Remember if you are your spouse become tempted and start thinking about a picture will develop in your mind if you think on it enough. Eventually it will manifest.
God has so built every woman that the first man who has sex with her takes a form of dominion over her. Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Her human spirit and soul is built to respond to the man by nurturing him, supplying affection to him and being that mans fountain of satisfaction to him all through his life. God made woman to develop a longing desire for their first lover (supposedly their husband)
The dominion a soul tie gives a man over his lover is often so binding that he can insult and mistreat her but she seems helplessly enslaved to him. Many women will tolerate all kinds of abuse and they won’t understand why: They end up hating themselves, because they don’t understand about soul ties. Whenever you hate yourself it is hard to give real love or receive real love. People that have formed soul ties with many people through fornication and promiscuity, their souls have become fragmented and scattered among all their sexual partners. If you are unable to give yourself fully to your mate (husband) it is because your thoughts and emotions are being continually drawn back to their past lovers. This is also adultery in your heart. If a woman has sexual relations with several men, her spirit and soul seek out every one of them. Her spirit is scattered and torn apart.
If you have ever been raped, but yet you find yourself thinking or desiring the one that raped you, it is because the two souls have knit together. A man’s spirit is so built that for each woman he enters his spirit is built to find, protect, bless and nurture and provide for that woman. Guys have you been divorced and remarried, but you still seem to want to protect or take care of your ex-wife?
People that have been promiscuous, their souls are not only drawn to all their former lovers, but when they marry they often have sexual and communication problems with their mates. They are unable to be sexually satisfied by their marriage partner because they suffer from a scattered soul and cannot share themselves fully with their mate. They often seek satisfaction, not only with multiple partners, but also through experimentation with bizarre forms of sex that may eventually lead to perversion. Multiple soul ties will weaken your character, your will, your emotions and your mind to the point that a decision to be free is difficult to make.
Lust and sin are gratifying for the moment, but a person always pays later in shame, guilt, humiliation, and anger towards God, sorrow and torment. Sometimes we don’t see that we are involved in those things because of denial. We tell ourselves that there is nothing in our past to deal with and we don’t want to change. Fear of change keeps you in bondage and fear is not of the Lord. Years of sin have weakened our character to the point of destroying the desires for good and making it difficult to change. There is HOPE (blueprint, picture) and that is Jesus. If you make him the Lord of your life and serve Him with all your heart, you can and will be set free if you believe and receive. You can be set totally free if you allow God to set you free, but He gives us a choice. He won’t make us do anything we do not want to do.
