How to break a soul tie God’s way

Hey Queen,

A soul tie is a deep emotional, spiritual, or physical bond that connects you to another person. While some soul ties—such as those formed within a godly marriage—are healthy and God-honoring, others can be unhealthy or even harmful. These negative ties can keep you bound emotionally, spiritually, or physically to someone in a way that hinders your walk with God and your personal growth.

Breaking an unhealthy soul tie is a process of surrender, healing, and renewal through God’s power. Here’s a step-by-step guide to finding freedom and breaking a soul tie God’s way.

1. Acknowledge the Soul Tie

The first step to breaking a soul tie is recognizing that it exists. Ask God to reveal areas of your life where you may be bound to someone in an unhealthy way. Signs of a soul tie might include constant thoughts about the person, difficulty moving on, or feeling spiritually weighed down by the connection.

Action Step: Pray Psalm 139:23-24, asking God to search your heart and reveal any soul ties that need to be broken.

2. Repent and Seek Forgiveness

Unhealthy soul ties often form through sin, such as sexual immorality, emotional entanglements, or relationships that became idols. Repentance involves confessing these sins to God, turning away from them, and asking for his forgiveness.

Action Step: Spend time in prayer, confessing any actions or choices that contributed to the formation of the soul tie. Receive God’s forgiveness, as promised in 1 John 1:9.

3. Renounce the Soul Tie

Breaking a soul tie involves renouncing it in the name of Jesus. This is a spiritual declaration that severs the bond and removes its influence over your life. Declare that you are no longer bound to the person and that your identity is rooted in Christ alone.

Action Step: Pray this renunciation prayer:

“In the name of Jesus, I renounce and break every soul tie formed between me and [name of person]. I declare that I am free from this bond through the blood of Jesus Christ, and I surrender this connection to God. Amen.”

5. Destroy Physical and Emotional Connections

Soul ties are often reinforced by physical reminders, such as gifts, photos, or shared belongings. These items can carry emotional weight and keep the connection alive. Removing them from your life helps you move forward and break the tie completely.

Action Step: Get rid of anything that ties you to the person, including sentimental items, messages, or social media connections. Create space for God to fill those emotional and spiritual gaps.

6. Renew Your Mind with God’s Word

Breaking a soul tie isn’t just about severing a connection; it’s about replacing it with God’s truth. Renewing your mind with Scripture helps you heal, grow, and realign your thoughts with God’s purposes for your life.

Action Step: Memorize and meditate on verses like Romans 12:2 (“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”) and 2 Corinthians 5:17 (“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”).

7. Seek Healing Through Prayer and Community

Breaking a soul tie can bring up emotional wounds that need healing. Take your pain to God in prayer, asking Him to heal your heart and restore your soul. Surround yourself with a supportive Christian community that can encourage you and pray with you.

Action Step: Find a trusted mentor, pastor, or prayer partner to walk with you through the process of healing. Attend a bible study or small group in your area to stay connected to God’s people.

Breaking a soul tie God’s way is a process of surrender, healing, and renewal. While it may take time, trust that God is working in your heart and life to bring complete freedom. By acknowledging the tie, repenting, renouncing, and renewing your mind with God’s Word, you can step into the abundant life Christ has promised you.

God’s grace is sufficient for you, and His power is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). With His help, you can overcome any bond and walk in the freedom He has already won for you.
