What is a Soul Tie?
Soul Ties are spiritual bonds or agreements. These can be made between two souls or they can be agreements made through trauma, desire or obsession. There are healthy soul ties formed through love, such as; the bond between mother and child, wife and husband etc. However, most people also have negative or destructive soul ties that bind them to unhealthy people, places or things unknowingly. These negative agreements and soul ties are known as “ungodly soul ties”.
How are Soul Ties Created?
Most soul ties are made through verbal agreements such as vows, declarations or giving away our power in saying yes when we do not want to. Many ungodly soul ties we have can be traced back to childhood / adolescence where we acted on impulse / desires, where we weren’t given the tools to say no, or when we didn’t know any better. Fear, trauma and abuse in childhood can also create these ungodly soul ties.
Sex and Soul Ties
In adulthood the most common way a soul tie is formed is through sexual intercourse. When we are intimate with another person we not only connect on a physical and emotional level, but also a spiritual one. Most people don’t give this a second thought or they are not aware of the spiritual implications of sex. When we break up with someone, divorce them or stop being intimate with them, this does not mean the spiritual bond is removed. Which is why we may battle to move on, or even replay the relationship or the breakup, long after the intimacy has ended. Trauma bonds are the perfect example of an ungodly soul tie; these are often formed and fortified through sex.
How do Soul Ties Affect us?
Soul ties can affect us in various ways. Ungodly soul ties are what bind us to unhealthy situations, relationships, addictions or toxic belief systems. Ungodly soul ties can connect us to things and people that break us down and inevitably sabotage our growth, our mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as our ability to connect with a Higher Power. Their purpose is to essentially stop us from liberating ourselves and succeeding in life. These forms of spiritual bondage will remain intact until we acknowledge them and are able to break the connection and renounce what caused them in the first place. This is why practices such as healing, forgiveness and shadow work are so important.
What are Demonic Strongholds?
Much like soul ties, strongholds are barriers that block us from living our best life and connecting with The Divine Source. These are essentially gateways that demons and negative entities use to gain a footing and traction in our hearts, minds and in our lives. Demonic strongholds are boundaries set in place by the enemy to distract us and inevitably to destroy us so that we cannot fulfil our soul mission or divine purpose in this life. The more struggles we face, the less chance we have of reaching our goals or finding God and our own divinity.
Demonic Strongholds Require Consent
While soul ties are often made unknowingly, strongholds can only be formed with our consent. Sometimes consent is given in the form of us agreeing with or giving in to toxic thoughts or bad behaviours, sometimes it is granted by us allowing someone to abuse us or take advantage. Other times permission is given of our own free will, by the choices we make, such as taking drugs, sleeping around or doing things we know are wrong... The spiritual repercussions will come back to haunt us, often in the form of these demonic strongholds.
So, How Do You Remove Ungodly Soul Ties and Demonic Strongholds?
While there is no easy way or magic solution to removing demonic strongholds and ungodly soul ties, it is possible. But it does require your commitment and consistency. Many people feel they are not up to the challenge, so they may ask for help from Priests, Pastors or Spiritual Counsellors. While this is a great option for guidance and support, it's important to remember that ultimately you are the one that has made these agreements, therefore you need to be the one to break them. While practices such as deliverance, spiritual cleansing and even 'de-possession' can be useful in starting the removal / healing process, if you are not prepared to do the behind the scenes work on yourself, and renounce what caused these things in the first place, the demonic bonds will simply reattach.
Five Steps to Renounce and Destroy Ungodly Soul Ties and Demonic Strongholds
To get you started on this path of liberation, I will share 5 steps that are helpful in freeing you from ungodly soul ties and demonic strongholds. Remember, these tools all work together as part of a greater goal. The more honest you are with yourself, and the more consistent you are with these steps, the more results you will see.
Step 1 - Take a Closer Look
As humans, we have all made mistakes, we all have regrets and disappointments in our lives. The trick is not to get caught up in these feelings. Living in these emotions opens the door for demonic bonds to form and the longer we live in states of guilt, regret, disappointment, unworthiness or depression, the harder it is to get out. Being honest about what could’ve caused these ungodly soul ties, or strongholds is the first step in removing them. Which means, taking a deeper look at one's personal trauma, destructive or self-sabotaging patterns and belief systems, as well as unhealthy addictions or coping mechanisms. Getting to the root of the problem. Sometimes there are things that hurt or disturbed us so much in our past or our childhood, that we simply cannot face them. My advice, start there. Be gentle with yourself, and if you feel like you may need help, try and find a skilled professional that is able to listen and help you through your trauma. So that you are able to heal, forgive and release it, not simply relive it...
Step 2 - Forgiving the Unforgiveable
As much as many people cringe when they hear the word Forgiveness, this is a critical step in eliminating ungodly soul ties and demonic strongholds. The reason behind this is because, demons and negative entities use our own feelings of guilt, hatred, inadequacy and pain against us through these demonic bonds. Holding unforgiveness toward others and toward yourself, will only allow this destructive bond to remain intact and to be used against you. While forgiveness isn’t always easy, it’s important to understand that the process and act of true forgiveness, is one of the highest forms of love toward yourself. Contrary to popular belief, forgiving what someone has done does not condone what they did, nor does it justify their actions. What it does do is free you from the poison of pain, anger, resentment, grief and trauma. And it shuts the doors that demons were previously using to gain access to you. Which naturally also brings us closer to God and The Divine.
Side note;
Forgiveness does not mean access, so forgiving another does not mean they need to have a place in your life again. It does mean, you have freed yourself from the cage they placed you in.
Step 3 - Destroying the Evidence
If you have items that were given to you by people from your past, in connection with these unhealthy soul ties, such as gifts, jewellery, cards, letters, clothing etc. It’s time to release these. Such things are often physical representations of the demonic stronghold, and can therefore hold a soul tie in place. As such, I do not recommend giving these items away, such as in donating them, or simply throwing them in the rubbish. But rather burning them (especially if they are letters, clothing or cards etc.) If you are not able to burn them such as with jewellery, then smashing them with a hammer and throwing them into running water such as a river is advised. If you own items that hold dark energy such as Ouija boards, demonic music, books or other dark memorabilia, then these too should be released / destroyed. The intentional act of clearing these things from your space and your life, not only shows your commitment to taking back your power, but it allows space for new and more positive energy to come in.
Step 4 - Connecting to a Higher Power
If you are not 'religious' you may not see the importance of connecting with a Higher Power. And yet, you do not need to be 'religious' in order to do so. While religion is doctrine, the act of connecting with something bigger than yourself is spiritual and choosing to do so will change your life. When it comes to the demonic, we as humans do not stand a chance if we are acting 'alone'. Being connected to God, Jesus or a Divine Power is what gives us the ability and the authority in the spirit to fight these often unseen (but very real) dark forces. Most of the time, if we are struggling with ungodly soul ties and demonic strongholds, we are not in the position to connect to anything of the light, or 'Divine' in nature. This is because our spirit has been so bogged down and broken up by the darkness, we may not feel worthy of anything good, and we don't feel deserving. Hence why this step is crucial in affording us the supernatural strength and power to truly break free.
Side note;
One does not need to be anything other than exactly what they are to approach Jesus Christ or The Divine. He doesn't expect perfection, just authenticity. Jesus takes what is lacking and he transforms it to something that is overflowing. He takes what is broken and he makes it new. Come as you are and He will not only free you and forgive you, but He will restore you.
Step 5 - Changing Your Habits
We all get stuck in bad or unhealthy habits sometimes, things like watching too much T.V, doom scrolling, hanging with the wrong crowd or eating too much junk food. While this may not seem like the end of the world, all these little things eventually accumulate and they lead to us being sick, depressed, stuck or lost. Our habits can affect us spiritually too, this is why it's important to make better choices. When we start to value and appreciate ourselves, we will start to care about all these seemingly little things and the long-term effects they have on us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is when we may decide to start making an effort to eat healthier, to be more selective of our friends, to stop entertaining dark things or habits and to cut out toxicity altogether. Our daily habits, attitude and routines form part of a much bigger picture and they affect the very fabric of who we are, as well as where we are headed. Sometimes it's our habits, interests and activities that opened to the door to demonic strongholds in our lives, and if that's the case then we are responsible for changing them.
