Welcome to
"Breaking Soul Ties" - a weekly column by Olusola Adio - dedicated to
help you understand what #SoulTies are and how to break them with the power of
God’s
Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. In this article, we are looking at the
definition and the origin of #SoulTies.
• Heb 11:15: “…if they had been mindful of that country from
whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned”
• Tonight, we want to look
at #SoulTies; see
how they came about, what they do and how to handle them.
• We start with the fall
of Adam. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden, a few things happened
to them
• They lost their
spiritual connection with God. As a result, their minds became darkened and
satan set up his structures there.
• So what we now know as
the world’s
system today is a product of man’s thinking that was
corrupted by satan when Adam fell.
• Satan, over the
centuries, set up what we also call strongholds in the minds and souls of men
that became belief systems.
• 2 Cor 10:4: “(For the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)”
• 2 Corinthians 10:5: “Casting down imaginations, and every high
thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,”
• 2 Corinthians 10:5: “…
and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of
Christ”
• So we see here that
apart from man being spiritually severed from God by the fall, he also got his
soul messed up by satan.
• In addition to having
his body infested by sickness & disease. So the fall affected man; spirit,
soul & body.
• Fast forward to
salvation. The salvation Jesus brought was a total package designed to affect
us spirit, soul & body.
• The salvation package
was intended to recreate our spirits, save our souls & also give us brand
new bodies @ d second coming
• However the timing of
the manifestation of the package needs to be well understood and I’ll
explain in next few tweets.
• when we get saved, we
have our spirits recreated and we become a brand new person in Christ Jesus
• 2Cor 5:17: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, He is a
new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”
• At new birth, the spirit
component of man is fully sorted according to 2Cor 5:17. What about d soul
& body? Have some clues.
• When you got saved, you didn’t
forget your name. Hence, the born again experience didn’t change your soul and
we’ll
see shortly
• Romans 12:2 And be not
conformed to this world:but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, …
• so we see from Rom 12:2
that after being saved, we r expected to renew our minds with d Word of God.
Minds didn’t get
saved.
• Why is it necessary for
us to renew our minds with the Word of God? Why are our minds a very important
part of the equation?
• Pro 23:7 For as he
thinketh in his heart, so is he Yes you are saved, your thinking is what
generally reflects in your life.
• This explains why a
saved man continues to sin. His mind hasn’t been renewed. What
does it mean for your mind to be renewed?
• renewal of mind means
you have submitted your mind to God’s Word for a
reprogramming of your thoughts.
• Renewal of mind means
that d thoughts of Egypt you practiced as an unsaved person have now been
replaced with God’s
thoughts.
• When we don’t
have our minds renewed after been saved, then we reflect the thoughts of the
enemy that we grew up with.
• Let’s go a bit deeper into
what happened to our minds before we got saved.
• Eph 2:2 Wherein in time
past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince
of the power of the air,
• Eph 2:2 … the
spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
• Eph 2:3 Among whom also
we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
• Eph 2:3 “…fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of
the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”
• So we see here that
satan worked through his evil spirits & our associations to corrupt our
minds and build structures there.
• In the process, he
created what we call soul ties. What’s a soul tie? A soul tie
is a link that satan created in your soul.
• Continuing from Eph 2:3,
we see that we developed behaviour patterns as we rubbed minds with fellow
children of disobedience.
• We cultivated various
attachments to things, bad habits, etc practiced by people we rubbed minds
with.
• Emotional attachments
that we developed as we grew up in the flesh are referred to as soul ties. They
reside in your soul
• Why do soul ties play a
significant role in our lives even after we have come into Christ? Why are they
worth mentioning?
• Way things work in our
relationship with God is that He communicates with our spirits and our souls
and body express His will
• When #SoulTies are
in operation, they block the flow of the Spirit of God in our lives. They are
relics left behind by satan.
• Satan is no longer in
your spirit when you got saved, but he left stuff behind in your soul that he
uses to trip you. These are #SoulTies
