Sexual Impurity

But a really cool thing happened that I DO remember. Soul ties is the idea of two people being knit and tied together, cleaved, bonded together, joined. It’s an attachment to a person or object that influences our mind and emotions. There are good soul ties, such as married couples, parents with children, healthy friendships, etc. But the Bible tells us that even when a man lies with a prostitute, they become one. This is an example of an unhealthy soul tie. The story of Dinah in Numbers 25:1-3 is another example. The soul of the man who raped her, “clave unto her”.

The problem is that the destructive forces in those with whom we have soul ties can move from them to us. He told a true story to illustrate it but again, I’ve forgotten parts. But it made me think about Pearl. What destructive forces moved from her to me? How have I been affected in the spiritual realm? And then I wondered more about those ties between us. Could it be that I haven’t been able to break them because she’s still holding on to them? Maybe not, but I wondered.

The interesting thing is that this is the 7th time I’ve been invited to break whatever soul ties I’ve had. The first few times my list was very long but eventually the only person on the list was Pearl. Every time, I had the hardest time crossing her name off and ripping up the paper with her name on it. It was like something was stopping me—probably my continued desire for her, my double-mindedness. But this time it wasn’t hard at all! Wow! That was a miracle in itself.
