“This next part is extremely powerful, and truly could not be done with any spiritual impact if you hadn’t had victory in the earlier sessions of repenting for abortion, for forgiving everyone involved in it, and for believing that what Jesus did on the cross was enough for you to receive his forgiveness and freedom for yourself. This weekend is all about taking back ground, and with this breaking soul ties section, you’re going to take back acres and be released from alot of unnecessary suffering.
Soul tie is a term that’s not in the bible, but it is the name we give to the strong emotional bonds and reactions we may have to people, places, things, events, and ideas. For example, there may be a certain smell that reminds of a person or memory, or the name or sight of a person you had a relationship with may make you feel angry and sad. (reference cut out heart )
The concept is that part of your soul is tied to someone else and you are influenced by something external. This can be good or bad. If you see your husband, and you are happy and you just feel so overwhelmed with respect and love for him, that’s a perfectly fine soul tie. But, if you see your husband and you want to hurt him, or your scared, or resentful, then there’s a negative soul tie based on an event or something he said that you need address with the Lord to bring the situation into godly order and healing. as followers of Jesus, we cannot be controlled or guided by anyone but Holy Spirit, and these negative soul ties can sometimes be so strong that they influence us not to follow Jesus. Today we’re going to work on helping you break. negative soul ties, especially those that caused the abortion, or were the effect of the abortion.
One of the strongest soul ties a person can have with someone they had sex with, particularly with the first person you had a sexual encounter with, and a person you may have had traumatic sexual experiences with.
The way biology explains this:
, there is a chemical called oxytocin which is often called the love hormone or the bonding hormone. Human bodies create this oxytocin hormone unconsciously and unwillingly in situations including hugging people, when mothers are breastfeeding their children, and most strongly, the hormone is released during sex. Researchers found that the highest amount of oxytocin is created in the animals which create offspring that require a lot of care and which survive better with two parents working together to raise them. So for those of us who have had abortions, we run into a serious hormonal and biological problem, because our body through sex and then conception, a reconnected to a person who we are supposed to bond with to create and to raise a child together. But, when we have an abortion , we are countering that very intricately designed purpose in our bodies. The hormone connection was supposed to be of love and support to raise a child, but through abortion, the connection gets transformed into a chaotic connection of not raising a child, but instead of fatally harming it. This is why abortion is so hard to talk about and to get help for, because it marks and hurts us on a spiritual physical and mental level and we can’t even describe it sometimes.
But because Jesus died not only to pay for your sin of abortion, but to restore the consequences of sin and to restore everything the sin of abortion ruined, today you can take back those parts of your soul, heart, and mind and memories which are being held captive by sin and trauma. And that way, once you’ve severed those unhealthy connections and taken back control from events which are not in God’s will, then your heart will feel restored, and full and healthy and whole, you’ll be able to know from experience what freedom means. Again, as Christians, we want to be led by only Holy Spirit, not by pain.
you’re oging to be asked to read pages 74-80 on your own about the different areas of your life you could have a soul tie in, and then fill out the sheet on page 81 with soul ties you know you need to break. We want to definitely clean out all soul ties related to the abortion, but if there’s something else, please surrender to Holy SPirit about any unholy soul ties you want to be free from today and we’ll help you. We’ll give you time to do this on your own and please ask if you have any confusion about this.
I’m going to walk you through a brief example of mine so you get the idea
- Names of people you need to break soul tie with; 1st person i had sex with, father of aborted baby, the aborted baby in heaven, parents – very connected to them and I took their opinion seriously, but when I told them i was pregnant they gave no guidance.
- locations: State college, it’s where I had most of my sexual debauchery, it’s where I got pregannt, and I couldn’t go there without wanting to scream and hated all things penn state
- addictive substances – alcohol – probably was drinking the night I got pregnant and i did use it to numb myself from the pain of abortion. Pornography and masturbation – those were my first exposure to sex and i’m sure led to my acting out; actually at my retreat, I was only 9 months free of that, but after the soul tie prayer, I knew i was never going back to it, and I haven’t 7 years later.
- miscellaneous – male body smells, cigarette and hookah smoke, suicidal ideation, secular music
Blessed and Kept
