"Soul Ties" Explained - Part 2 - Session 2

[Rev. Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

1 Corinthians 6:16-17 NIV: ⁶ Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” ¹⁷ But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:16-17 KJV: 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.

You may be involved or thinking of becoming involved in a sexual affair now. DON'T, you may make all kind of excuses on why you should.

Here are some common excuses that people use to justify what they are doing, but do not fall in the trap of deception:

1. We are in love and it won’t hurt anything because we are going to be married someday. 

2. He said it would be ok if we did just this once and we will wait until we are married to do it again.

3. Your soul has now become tied and scattered, causing confusion and strife.

4. I won’t think badly of you; we are meant to be together.

5. God won’t mind because we are going to get married.

If you are already married here are some of the lies the devil can throw at you:

1. My husband doesn’t love me anymore and our sexual life is the worst

2. If I have a one-night affair, no one will know. GOD DOES

3. I will get back at him and he won’t know the difference.

God says it is a sin and it will bring eventual destruction and not: blessings God never makes exceptions to his laws for you or anyone else.

A relationship began in righteous and holy actions will often bring forth blessed and holy branches, on the other hand, a relationship begun in sin and fornication will many times bring forth-evil branches and fruits. This could include adulterous cheating, divorce and even children that indulge in immortality.

Proverbs 5:20-22 KJV: ²⁰ And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? ²¹ For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings. ²² His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

The consequences of a casual affair can be harmful and enduring. The soul ties formed can actually bind a person for life. The Word says (Romans 8:15 NIV): For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

God has so built every woman that the first man who has sex with her, takes a form of dominion over her. Genesis 3:16 KJV: 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 man’s fountain of satisfaction to him all through his life.

God made woman to develop a longing desire for their first lover (supposedly their husband) ReadGenesis: 3:16 again.

These Scriptures warnings to women:

2 Timothy 3:2-7 KJV: ² For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³ Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, ⁴ Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; ⁵ Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. ⁶ For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ⁷ Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:2-5 NIV: ² People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, ⁴ treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— ⁵ having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

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.
