SOUL
TIES - THE TERRIBLE TRUTH
Shalom Brothers and
sisters, this is Dr. William Schnobelen coming to you with a
relatively brief teaching on spiritual warfare.
And I'm going to
start out with a true story from earlier on in our ministry in
the early 90s.
We had a man that we
were praying for, and he and his former wife were both believers. He
had gotten saved while a nominal Episcopalian and his former wife,
who was an Episcopalian was also a witch. She was a witch
Episcopalian if you can believe that. So she was kind of a messed up
wicked one. And she divorced him once he got born again and filled
with Ruach, the Holy Spirit.
So anyway, he went
through deliverance and we led him through the prayer, which I'm
going to talk about today to break unrighteous soul ties. Literally
within three minutes of him saying, Amen at the end of the prayer,
she called him on the phone from Phoenix and said, “What did you do?
What did you do?”
She just railed on
the guy because she said it felt like all of these things like
psychic rubber bands snapped back at her and hit her in the face. And
she was furious as these unrighteous soul ties were snapped.
She had her hooks
into this man even though they went through court proceedings and had
a divorce and all that stuff. Those unrighteous soul ties were still
there and in a simple prayer, they were broken.
And that's what
we're going to talk about. We're going to talk about the idea of
unrighteous soul ties today.
One of the four
cornerstones of our deliverance protocol is to break unrighteous soul
ties.
Like I said, it's a
cornerstone. What do I mean by this? Well, if you go to Matthew
19:5-6, you will see that Yahushua said this, “For this cause shall
a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they
twain shall be one flesh. Wherefore they are no more twain but one
flesh. Therefore what Elohim has joined together, let not man put
asunder.
Now, our Savior was
quoting Genesis 2:24, where it talks about how the man and the woman
when they get married, they become echad (one) basar (flesh) in
Hebrew, one flesh, and it's a beautiful, sacred thing. Powerful. It's
an amazing thing when it's understood.
Understand that
within marriage, which is the intention of our Heavenly Father, is
that when two people come together, that they are virgins. They have
never known anybody else sexually.
But as we know
nowadays, especially because societies become so debauched and even among many Christian churches, there are teachings that it's all
okay to have sex as long as you love one another, you know, which is
bizarre, but that's the teaching.
So anyway, when you
come together in matrimony, it must be righteous, in a set apart way
because we're told in Hebrews 13:4 let the marriage bed be undefiled.
But when people
commit fornication, which is generally defined as any sort of sexual
immorality, but most especially having sex outside marriage, when
people commit homosexuality, when people committed adultery which of
course means having sex with someone who is married but not to you
whether you're married or not, all these things create unrighteous
soul ties
This is a huge
problem for probably the vast majority of people don't know about
this. But if they do know already, they would have administered to
themselves or had somebody pray for them.
When I wrote the
book, Blood on the Doorpost, basically, I called this the Ark of the
Covenant. But it's the Arc of the Covenant like an electrical arc.
When two people come
together in matrimony, in this arc of love where basically two souls
and the two bodies come together, they're one. And that never changes
unless the Almighty puts them apart.
And that's what the
prayer is about. We're going to talk about it later on. But here's
where I'm going with this.
I'll give you an
example. We prayed for a young man years ago who was a former naval
seaman, and he had been in the Philippines, and he was a Christian.
But you don't always
meet the most salutary people in the military. I mean, nothing
against military people and some of them are kind of morally loose.
And they said, “Oh,
you got to lose your virginity.” They put it more vulgarly but
that's what they said. He was a veteran from the Vietnam era. And
anyway, so they talked this guy and he was a Methodist Christian by
birth and they talked him into going to a prostitute.
And he went into
this prostitute and it was not a good experience, obviously. In fact,
he told me later that while he was trying to do it, she was eating an
apple and kind of ignoring him. So he was just totally devastated by
the experience emotionally.
But beyond that, all
of a sudden, he just became this walking cesspool of demons just like
that.
Why? Because he
became echad basar, one flesh with this woman, obviously outside of
marriage, who probably had had sex with hundreds, if not thousands of
men, many of whom were demonized. She was demonized.
And here is the
profound, terrible truth about unrighteous soul ties. If you have
unrighteous sex, fornication, adultery, whatever, with someone, you
get all of their demons. They come right through the sexual act just
like putting together two terminals on an electrical circuit. And
they come right into you just as fast as can be.
Demons are the
ultimate STD!
And it may not
manifest right away, depending on the person, both the person you're
having sex with and yourself. But at some point, it's going to erupt,
it's going to manifest in some way and you're going to have all sorts
of issues.
Since the sexual
revolution of the 60s, this has just been a huge problem because so
many people are having sex outside of marriage, so many people are
having multiple sex partners, all kinds of immorality and because of
this, this is just rampant.
Let me just make
this more clear. When you have relations with an individual
unrighteously, the demons that go through into you don't stop just
because you've left that individual.
If you have
relations with this woman outside of marriage, from that time on, you
got all the demons she has. But then if she goes on and commits other
immoral acts, never repents, never gets saved, never gets
deliverance, you keep getting these demons through this arc, through
this soul tie. They keep pouring into you.
Any demons that this
person acquires, will keep pouring into you, pouring into you,
pouring in, and then people wonder, “Why do I struggle with things?
Why do I fail to get the victory?”
Maybe they become
addicted to pornography, which is a very pernicious thing. Maybe
they're addicted to something else, or maybe they have anger or maybe
they have rage, or even if they're married, they're out looking
around for other women or other men as the case might be.
That's because these
devils keep coming from the other party. And of course, if you had
multiple sex partners, you have different multiple channels for
demons to pour into you.
So you can see this
can be a horrendous problem, but Calvary is the solution.
Now, when you get
born again, just like any other element of deliverance, when you get
saved, your spirit becomes regenerated and set apart. But
unfortunately, your soul and your body need to be sanctified. You're
justified when your spirit is full of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy
Spirit), the Set Apart Spirit, but your soul realm, your mind, will, and emotions and your physical body still needs to be worked on.
We don't just
instantly become a saint. I wish that was the case. But that's not
the case. It's a process.
This can be an
incredible weight on people because even though you're born again,
and you have the Set Apart Spirit living within you, you can
still have unrighteous soul ties with people that you may have
fornicated with or committed adultery with before your salvation.
There are a lot of
churches that teach once you're saved, all the demons have to leave.
That's not correct. And in our book Blood on the Doorpost, we spent a
whole chapter explaining why that is scripturally not correct.
You do still bring
elements of your unsaved life with you into your walk with the
Almighty until you go through deliverance.
So anyway, you can
also get these soul ties for good or for bad, from parents, from
siblings, from close friends, from mentors or teachers, you know,
anybody who has a close emotional relationship with even if you
never had sex with any of these people, but it's just not as
powerful. It's not as powerful.
But we know people
we've had to pray for that were mentored by some wicked individual.
They were in a cult, and we had to pray and break soul ties with that
individual, even though there was never any kind of sexual contact,
inappropriate or otherwise.
So this is not just
about sex, but sex is the biggie. Okay?
So the prayer is
pretty easy, really. It's not that difficult to do. But I'm going to
pray through a prayer and we have a more comprehensive
prayer on our website. I've dealt with so many times, it's just gonna be a simple
version of it.
If you're
struggling, it could be any number of things that are keeping you
from a full walk with Yahushua. It doesn't have to be a sexually related
sin. It could be anything. It could be anger. If you're struggling
with these things and you have never prayed this prayer, you need to
realize that you're basically walking around with a ball and chain
and at the end of that chain instead of an iron ball, there
are probably thousands of evil spirits that you're dragging around,
trying to run the race, as Paul said, that is set before you. Not
good. It doesn't work. It just doesn't work.
But you could be set
free with a simple prayer. When I prayed this prayer with the pastor
who did deliverance on me, it was like, I felt just lead weights fall
off my shoulders in a matter of minutes. And still, even though that
was 1985, there are still believers to this very day who don't know
about this. They don't understand it.
If there are wicked
soul ties, you need to break them. That's why when we pray, we want
you to break all unrighteous soul ties because the Ruach, the Set
Apart Spirit knows what elements are in those unrighteous soul ties.
Let's say you have an unwholesome relationship with your mother, which unfortunately
happens. Some mothers are kind of weird, you know, they're broken
individuals. And so there's a challenging relationship with the
mother and child. Now, there are good parts to that relationship and
there are unrighteous parts to it and again, I don't mean that
you're having sex with your mother, God forbid, although incest can happen in families.
No, I'm meaning that
there may have been twisted emotional things where she was
manipulating you or messing with you in, you know, mind games kind of
way.
I'm not picking on
mothers. By the way, I had a wonderful mother. But you know, anything
like this, the Ruach will sort this out for you. The Ruach will leave
behind what needs to be left behind just like a master surgeon and
remove the things that are unrighteous.
And this is true,
whether you're talking about sexual acts or whether you're talking
about relationships of the non-sexual nature.
So, hopefully, this
has been helpful. I want you to understand that the power behind this
prayer is the Almighty. It is the Almighty’s will that a man and a
wife come together in marriage in a state of virginity. That's the
perfection of it. But that doesn't often happen anymore. And if it
does, Hallelujah.
But still, we need
to be aware that for most people, this is a powerful thing that they
can do to have more victory in their lives because that's what
Yahushua wants. He wants us to have victory. He wants us to have
blessings and not struggle with besetting sins, or anything like
that.
So what I'm going to
do now is basically lead a prayer. I mean, I'm going to take the time
to stop in between it, so you get a sense of how it works. And
then it's already on our website, if you want to go there and
download the prayer.
And, you know, pray
it with your wife, husband, whoever it might be, you'll
find great victory.
All right. This is
how I would pray this prayer if I was going through deliverance.
Abba Father in the
name of Yahushua haMashiach, I humbly come before Your throne. And I
asked You to please take the sword of the Ruach haKodesh, the Set
Apart Spirit and cut any unrighteous soul ties between myself, my
human spirit and any person, fallen celestial being, entity or dream
entity whatsoever known or unknown, remembered or forgotten.
Father, I also ask
You in Yahushua’s name to cleanse those ties by the divine fire
from the Ruach haKodesh, and wash them clean with the blood of Yeshua
and with the Mayim Chaim, the Living Waters that flowed forth from
His side, on the cross of Calvary.
Father, I now pray
additionally in the name of Yahushua Messiah, which is above every
other name, who is Yah come in the flesh, I pray that any evil
spirits that may have come into me because of these unrighteous soul
ties would leave me at once and also (if you have children) leave my
children at once.
(Because this stuff
can percolate downward into your children through generational
curses. As Ruach leads you, mention certain traumas.)
I especially come
against the spirit of bondage, the spirit of infirmity, this perverse
spirit, the spirit of antichrist, (whatever you know and these are
going to vary according to your own personal background.)
I bind you all
together as one and I weaken you in the blood of Calvary and I say
Yahweh rebuke thee. I command you to leave me and my children right
now and to go where Yahushua should tell you to go by the voice of
His Set Apart Spirit.
Father, I also pray
in Yahushua’s name, that You would seal any doorways in my life and
the lives in my family that may have been opened by these unrighteous
soul ties. And I pray that You would seal those doorways shut forever
with the blood of the Lamb shed on the cross of Calvary.
And I thank You for
doing this in the mighty name of Yahushua the Messiah, Omein (Amen).
Okay, see, that's
doesn't take a long time. Now a lot of this has to be tailored to
your personal situation.
If you're someone
who is a victim of child abuse, or a victim of ritual abuse, either
Masonic ritual abuse or satanic ritual abuse, things of that nature,
it gets a little more complicated, and we have a whole deliverance
procedure thing you can download on our website, withoneaccord.org.
Also, I should
mention, you may have noticed I mentioned the word “dream entity.”
What happens is that a lot of people have erotic dreams. I don't want
to get into great depth on that. But you know, this is a reality
whether they're men or women. And sometimes these dreams are the
result of either an incubus or a succubus coming to you, if you don't
pray before you go to bed at night, and asked the Father in heaven in
the name of Yahushua to bless your sleep and your dreams.
Let's say you're a single individual, you're
trying to be chaste. You're trying to be set apart and find the right
partner for yourself and you're trying to not masturbate, or things
like that. So, but you've got this sexual tension building up within
you because that's how we're made as human beings, that these
entities will come to you in the dreams and they will actually seep
into your dream life and try and seduce you, to be blunt.
Many times people
have these really profoundly erotic dreams. An incubus is an evil
spirit that appears to be a man that will come down and try to have
relations with a woman. A succubus is an evil spirit that assumes the
appearance of a woman and will come down and try to seduce a man.
A lot of people
don't even remember these dreams. So that's why I mentioned the dream
entity because there is a reality there that you could have an unrighteous soul tie with either a fallen celestial being, in other
words, a fallen angel, especially if you had a background in a cult
like I did. Or you could have unrighteous soul ties with a demon that
had come into your dream state to have relations with you.
So that's why I
mentioned that just to clarify. That might sound a little strange or
hard to believe. But believe me, we've had many, many people over the
decades because we've been doing deliverance since 1987-88.
And it's like many
people that are trying to live good, set apart lives while they find
their partner in life. And they have these experiences and they
wonder why all of a sudden they are having all of these weird
temptations, why are these thoughts coming to them? “I go to
church, I read my Bible, I pray and get these thoughts and I never
look at pornography. I didn't ever look at filthy TV or movies. And
I'm still having this stuff coming at me.”
Well, this might be
why. So that's why we recommend that you pray when you're breaking
soul ties and remember what I said in the prayer. I said, “All
unrighteous soul ties whether known or unknown, remembered or
forgotten,” because the Ruach knows.
You may not remember
some of these dreams. I hate to say this, but I know a lot of people,
especially when they're in college and when they get drunk, they do
stupid stuff, you know, whether men or women they do, you know, they
might not even remember sometimes who they had sex with. And that's
unfortunate. It's a tragedy, but the Ruach knows. So you just say,
“known or unknown, remembered or forgotten.”
Hallelujah. I
recommend going on our website using the more comprehensive version,
since the prayer I prayed earlier is kind of Reader's Digest version.
You will find you
will get incredible victory over the sins in your life that are
besetting because there is nothing that Hell has that Heaven can't
heal. Hallelujah.
And it's so simple.
And that's why denominational Christians say, “Oh, if you're a
Christian, you can’t have a demon. You just need to get right.”
That's not
necessarily true. The person is struggling with nicotine addiction or
with porn or with gambling, whatever it might be, they could be
having unrighteous soul ties from their unsaved life.
