Deliverance Through Breaking Soul Ties & Freewill Bonds
- Feb 27
- 3 min read
Many people don’t receive deliverance at the altar because they are still attached to the very thing that opened the door to the enemy. Soul ties and freewill bonds can keep a person connected to people, places, events, names, or items that hold them in spiritual bondage.
What Are Soul Ties?
Soul ties can form through any relationship—healthy or unhealthy. When they form through trauma, sin, rejection, or ungodly connections, they bind a person to the pain of their past.
Rejection can create emotional reactions that mirror old wounds. When rejection is operating, relationships become difficult, and emotions become unstable. This is a sign that a soul tie needs to be broken.
Sometimes people stay bound because they refuse to renounce the connection. But when you choose to release someone, you will often feel a sense of lightness or refreshing.
Rejection is defined as to set aside, refuse, disapprove, or disregard. Nobody likes to be treated this way.
Biblical Insight Into Soul Ties
Scripture gives us examples of soul ties—both godly and ungodly.
Jonathan and David’s souls were knit together (1 Sam. 18:1–3).
Jacob and Benjamin had an unhealthy bond rooted in trauma (Gen. 44:22, 30).
God warns us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Cor. 6:14).
Ungodly bonds can form through jealousy, lust, trauma, occult involvement, sexual sin, or unhealthy emotional dependence. These ties open the door to spirits such as anger, fear, resentment, lust, and jealousy.
How Soul Ties and Bonds Form
Soul ties can form:
Physically
Emotionally
Mentally
Spiritually
They can develop through:
Marriage
Friendship
Ministry
Counselors
Siblings
Parental relationships
Authority
Sex
Trauma
Church relationships
Occult involvement
Other religions
Ungodly ties can also form with items—jewelry from an ex, gifts, occult objects, pictures, or memorabilia.
When ungodly soul ties exist, negative behaviors manifest. These manifestations can indicate demonic oppression and open the door for spirits such as anger, resentment, fear, lust, and jealousy.
In the Bible, Saul and David once had a godly bond, but jealousy corrupted it. The people gave David credit for the war victory, and Saul became jealous.
“Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” – 1 Samuel 18:7–8
Jealousy is a sin. Sin kills and corrupts. Jealousy entered Saul’s heart and turned a healthy bond into an ungodly one.
Signs of Ungodly Soul Ties
Thoughts of ex-lovers or past trauma
Sexual dreams of people
Anger, resentment, bitterness
Fear, lust, jealousy
Feeling emotionally tied to someone you should be free from
These ties give the enemy legal rights until they are broken.
Breaking Soul Ties & Freewill Bonds
To break these ties:
Repent for involvement in sin
Forgive those involved
Break all agreements—known or unknown
Break all curses spoken, written, or thought
Renounce all future involvement
Ask God for a clean slate in relationships
When these ties are broken, you become an empty and clean vessel ready for the Spirit of God to dwell in.
Renunciation Prayer
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I break all soul ties and freewill bonds with people, places, events, names, or items that have kept me bound. I repent for my involvement in any sin that opened the door. I forgive everyone who has hurt, rejected, or betrayed me. I break all ancestral and personal agreements, covenants, vows, and pacts made in sin. I renounce all involvement and break every curse spoken, written, or thought. I command every spirit attached to these ties to leave me now and never return. Lord, give me a clean slate in every relationship that is in Your will. Strengthen the godly ties and remove the ungodly ones. In Jesus’ name, amen.
