Breaking Soul Ties

When people begin a relationship, there are significant milestones that form soul-ties between the two. Milestones can include praying together, intimate sexual relations, living together, a wedding day, and child birthing, to mention a few.

When a relationship ends through death of a spouse or divorce, the relationship ends, but the souls are still tied. Death or the divorce decree severs the relationship legally, but the souls remain connected.

We say we have let go of our past and have placed people in God’s hands, yet we still hold on. Through divorce or death of a spouse, what was one has been torn into two in the flesh, but not in the spirit. 

We must break the soul tie to become a whole single person. If we fail to let go of the prior relationship in our spirit we will carry them into our next relationship which can cause our new relationship to be divided. When Paige and I married we lived in a home that I had previously lived with my former wife. We repainted rooms, redecorated and started a family wall of pictures of our new family. This was a step in breaking soul ties.

Breaking a soul tie is removing the hold on our soul that a person has on us. It is deeper than emotions, but it affects our emotions. It reaches far into our souls and keeps us from moving on successfully. 

How do you break a soul tie? It is a spiritual exercise. See our suggestions below.

Suggestions:

Remove items from your home, office, car, etc, that bring positive or negative emotions of the past relationship such as fear, frustration, memories, or hurt. These items can be pictures, photo albums, past love notes and cards, vacation memorabilia, etc.

Release the person in prayer to the Father.

Allow yourself to grieve the loss of the previous relationship.

Pray for your soul recovery, giving your life into God’s hands.

Our Prayer for you:

Holy Spirit, we ask that You help break soul ties from their past that they may have brought into their new relationship. Help them to love as a whole person. Lead them on Your path to wholeness. In Jesus’ name!
